Joseph Kennedy sat in the magnificent living room of the Montaz Palace in Alexander, enjoying the fragrant Turkish coffee provided by the Caesar's residence. With him, the new ambassador of the US to the Roman Empire, although the moderate Republican, Nelson Rockefeller, was disliked by Wallace and Truman because of the pro-Germany of the Rockefeller family, was appointed as the ambassador to Rome at the insistence of Vice President-elect Kennedy and Secretary of State-elect Edward Stettinius Jr. They were on the **.95 long-range passenger plane provided by the Roman Empire and flew directly from the United States to Alexander, the second capital of the Roman Empire. The purpose was to invite Mussolini to come forward to conduct a new round of diplomatic mediation.

Now that the US election has ended, the Democrats in the White House and the Republicans, which have become the largest party in Congress, have begun to tacitly lower the tone of the war and have begun to seek a way to compromise with Europe. The relationship between these two mainstream American parties is not in the same situation, otherwise it would be impossible to maintain the "two-party democracy" for so many years. Therefore, after the election, democracy and the Republican parties still have to carry out a lot of cooperation. Especially now, the survival of the United States!

The situation is very obvious. Truman's "Five Peace Opinions" for the election is impossible. Just before Kennedy left Washington, he also learned that the Allied South American Command's request for the increase of troops. If he wanted to liberate San Diego, the United States would invest at least 50,000 ground troops and be prepared to withstand 10,000-150,000 casualties!

To attack a small Santiago, you will actually have to invest 50,000 troops! According to information, there are only three German divisions there.

If the German army's combat effectiveness is really that strong, what capital does the United States have to fight a protracted war? There are so many islands on the Caribbean Sea, North America has a coastline of three to four thousand kilometers, and a Bermuda Island that must not be captured... There are too many places to defend. Does the United States really have enough troops?

As long as there is a "point" occupied by Germany, Germany will have a base to use atomic bombs to bomb major cities on the east coast of the United States. For the United States... this means defeat!

So as long as people who know the inside story are sufficiently familiar with the inside, it is easy to conclude that the United States must negotiate peace early, because procrastination will only make the United States' situation worse.

However, as a big player in American domestic politics, Kennedy also knows that it is not easy to negotiate peace early. Because the Democratic Party does not control Congress, once the government signs a "power-lost and humiliating" peace treaty, it will not only not be passed in the Congress vote, but may even induce impeachment for President Truman!

Of course, this does not mean that the treaty signed by the Truman administration must not be passed by a vote in Congress, but that the Democrats must pay a price, such as supporting the resolution to abolish the new policy bill. The voters who benefited from the Roosevelt's new policy are the foundation of the Democratic Party. If they lose their support, the 1946 midterm elections will be the time for the Democratic Party to collapse.

So Kennedy knew that his "summoning journey" might not achieve anything. Unless Wallace's military adventure can achieve certain success...

When Kennedy thought of Wallace's military adventure, he felt a cramped heart. The plane his eldest son, Joseph Kennedy, was shot down over Buenos Aires! Now his life and death are uncertain, maybe he is dead, maybe injured, and suffering in the German prisoner-of-war camp... Since he received the news of his eldest son's disappearance, Kennedy has looked much haggard.

So when Mussolini walked into the living room with a proud look, Kennedy, who was immersed in his longing for his son, forgot to stand up from the sand until Nelson Rockefeller whispered to remind him.

"Joseph, my friend." Mussolini strode to Kennedy, holding his hand enthusiastically, and said with an exaggerated expression, "Tell you good news, my man found Joseph in the German prisoner-of-war camp, and now he has taken him to Vienna and arranged to a concentration camp with good conditions. He was injured, with six fractured ribs on his legs, and a little concussion. But it doesn't matter, the Germans gave him good treatment, and both legs and right arm were saved. There was nothing serious about it except a little lame, and you will be able to meet him soon."

Joseph Kennedy Jr. was lucky this time. Although the plane was shot down, he successfully landed in a farm near the Buenos Aires military port. He was seriously injured during the forced landing, but then he was captured by patrolling New Asbanian soldiers. He was first thrown into a prisoner-of-war camp managed by the New Asbanian 6th Army and waited for death. However, the New Asbanians soon found that he was the son of the US Vice President-elect, so he handed him over to the Germans, allowing Kennedy Jr. to get the best treatment, which could probably allow him to spend the rest of his life with a crutch.

After learning about Joseph Kennedy's situation, Mussolini immediately sent one of his sons to a German prisoner-of-war camp in Montevideo, Uruguay, New Asbania. After confirming Kennedy's identity, Mussolini immediately spoke to Hitler, and Kennedy was then received to the concentration camp with the best conditions in Europe.

Thank God! Joseph is still alive! Kennedy was so excited that he almost cried when he heard this news. He smiled gratefully at Mussolini and was about to express his gratitude. Nelson Rockefeller, who was standing beside him, interrupted: "Leader, the issue of prisoners of war should be resolved under the framework of peace negotiations."

This sentence is actually a reminder to Kennedy that he cannot ask Mussolini to help rescue his son because he is the vice president of the United States!

Kennedy smiled awkwardly and was about to decline. But Mussolini said: "Nelson, I know that Joseph's difficulties will be satisfactory. For example, we can arrange a prisoner of war exchange, so that the Germans can release a group of wounded American prisoners of war in exchange for their own prisoners of war, so that Joseph can be young. This is not a problem for me. German Chancellor Hitler is my friend, and we are good friends. And Joseph is also a good friend of Mr. Hitler and Mr. Hess, everything will be arranged.

If you want, I can also help you get the people captured by Japan... Most of them have been terrible abuse and should be allowed to go home early to reunite with their families.

In addition, I hope to use this prisoner-of-war exchange as an opportunity to promote a new round of peace negotiations. As a peace-loving fascist, I sincerely hope that this terrible war will end soon..."

It has probably become a consensus among everyone that the war will end earlier, but what conditions should be used to end the war? The United States hopes to achieve a more decent peace condition, which is not only beneficial to the United States' strength again in the future, but also in the interests of politicians in North Korea.

Valparaiso, Chile. Christmas, December 25, 1944.

On the beach near the Pacific Ocean, above the twelve large airports, fighter jets were covered with runways and aprons. Some of them had already moved their engines and roared, and the propellers flew and generated huge thrust. The huge fuselage began to glide on the runway, getting faster and faster, and then flew into the sky.

A P-61 that Lieutenant General Claire Chennard took off at the "Gulf 1o" airport as the air commander. Under the escort of four P-51b/fighter jets, he hovered and rose to a high altitude.

Below them, batches of bombers, fighter jets, radar-mounted reconnaissance aircraft, attack aircraft carrying "bat" gliding bombs, took off for the first time, forming unprecedented formations.

Admiral Eisenhower stood on the roof platform of the 10th Army Command, holding a telescope to watch the increasingly large attack aircraft group in the sky. This was a carefully organized bombing of thousands of aircraft! Not only did Lieutenant General Chennard's 14th Air Force come out in full swing, but even the U.S. Navy Air Force stationed in Valparaiso and several U.S. aircraft carriers patrolling the nearby Pacific Ocean all sent carrier-based aircraft to assist the battle. The final dispatch reached 1022!

The planes in the sky covered the sky and flew eastwards. Admiral Eisenhower put down his telescope and said to Bradley, the commander of the 10th Army, beside him: "Omar, the Joint Chiefs of Staff is ready to give you an army of 60,000... If the bombing cannot force the Germans to make concessions in peace negotiations, then you must occupy Santiago!"

Lieutenant General Bradley nodded: I will defeat San Diego!”

...

"Ludwig, the Air Force Command in New Asbania was in urgent need of the emergency, at least hundreds of American aircraft appeared over the Valparaiso Gulf at the Santiago radar station!"

In the Joint Intelligence Center of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, Hessman immediately received a report on the large-scale dispatch of American fighter jets in Valparaiso Bay is less than 1 kilometer away from Santiago. The radar on the hill near Santiago could easily detect more and more American aircraft. This situation was immediately reported to the Air Force Headquarters and the Joint Intelligence Center of the General Staff.

"At least hundreds? The Americans are going to bomb Buenos Aires?" Hessman and Kesselin, who was in the joint intelligence center, exchanged glances with each other.
Chapter completed!
