Chapter 592: There Are Japanese Devils on the Atlantic

Half a month after the Battle of the Faroe Islands, the battleship "Duke of York" with a British royal flag flew, under the escort of a light cruiser and six destroyers, arrived in Quebec City on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, across the ocean.

The reason why the royal flag was flew was because the brand new battleship was shipped on the British Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, the youngest daughter of King George VI.

The mother and daughter took advantage of the night to leave Liverpool Port from April 7, the mother and daughter were on the afternoon of the day when Princess Elizabeth returned to London from the Netherlands. She boarded the Duke of York on the afternoon of the day when she left Liverpool Port.

However, at this time, Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, as well as Canadians who welcomed them on the dock in Quebec City, did not expect that the two local distinguished guests would live in Canada for a long time. They did not expect that Princess Margaret, who was only 12 years old this year, would become their queen in 10 years, and ascend the throne in Ottawa, Canada, Queen Margaret I of England!

"Sorry, allow me to ask a somewhat rude question. Will she become Queen Margaret I of Canada?"

It turns out that no one thought that Princess Margaret would become the queen. After hearing the news that Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret arrived in Canada, US President Roosevelt immediately invited British Ambassador to the United States Viscount Halifax to the White House and raised embarrassing questions in person.

"No, Your Highness the Princess will not become the Queen of Canada, she is the future Queen of England!" Viscount Halifax was silent for a while, and then answered Roosevelt in an inaudible voice.

"The future Queen of England?" Roosevelt looked at the Viscount Halifax, "What about Princess Elizabeth?"

Viscount Halifax said in a serious tone: "Princess Elizabeth's relationship with Princess Friedrich of Germany will not be accepted by the British people and the government, so she will be denied the right to inheritance."

"Is there such a thing?" Roosevelt looked at the British ambassador in surprise, "Is the news of depriving Princess Elizabeth of inheritance announced?"

The British ambassador said seriously: "It has been decided, but it has not been announced yet, and this requires waiting for the opportunity."

"Time?" Roosevelt was stunned.

“It will be announced when His Majesty the King and the Government move to Canada.”

"Will Princess Elizabeth come to Canada?"

"No," said Viscount Halifax, "she will stay in the country and serve as the United Kingdom Regent."

Then how can you deprive Princess Elizabeth of inheritance? As soon as George VI left, Princess Elizabeth was Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom! She also deprived her of inheritance!

The US president looked at the British ambassador speechlessly. The shamelessness and cunning of these elites of the British Empire were truly at the peak. He could actually come up with such shameless ways to preserve his existing wealth and status.

I am afraid from now on, every prominent British wealthy family will be divided into two, half of whom are loyal to George VI and Princess Margaret, and the other half stays in the country as a loyal servant of Queen Elizabeth.

This is pretty good. No matter who wins and loses the war, you British wealthy families can keep their glory and wealth, and there is no loss! Not only does there be no losses, but there may be additional benefits... Canada is much larger than the British mainland and has much richer resources. If there is millions of British population and a large amount of British capital, it is hard to say whether the technology will develop in the future!

Roosevelt frowned. Of course, these British masters' plans are exquisite. But are the British people fools? Do they not know the plans of you aristocratic elites? You have set a way out and are ready to step on two ships, and want them, the proletariat, to join the army and die? This is not enough to think about it!

"Do you still want to defend the local area?" Roosevelt tilted his big head and looked at the Viscount Halifax with a tangled look on his face.

These days he discussed the issue of naval, army and army aviation generals discussing the issue of naval battles in the Faroe Islands and defending the British mainland.

In fact, the Battle of the Faroe Islands is mixed for the United States. Of course, Britain's crushing defeat is worrying. Originally, the European Combined Fleet led by Germany had the upper hand. Now that Britain has lost four aircraft carriers, Germany's advantage is even greater.

However, the United States' shipbuilding capabilities are obvious. Not counting those worthless escort aircraft carriers and modified aircraft carriers, one Essex class and at least two independent class (transformed with Cleveland class hulls) can be completed by the end of this year. By the end of next year, at least eight Essex class can be built, and 10-12 independent class can be built. So this worry is not particularly big.

The Germans' idea of ​​using wired remote-controlled gliding bombs to attack warships was very happy for the United States. Because the electronics industry in the United States is no worse than that of Germany, the United States can produce remote-control equipment that Germany can make. Although there was no prototype of gliding bombs, engineers from the United States Westinghouse and General Electric all slapped their chests and made sure they could make it.

In addition, the United States' ability to produce high-altitude heavy bombers is definitely stronger than that of Germany, Italy and Japan.

So a few days ago, Roosevelt set a small target and built 10,000 B-24 and B-17 with remote-controlled gliding bombs to bomb Japanese warships!

But today the British queen and princess suddenly came to Canada (the US government did not know in advance), and it seemed that they would have to live and work in Canada, which destroyed the great situation in an instant.

Because once the British royal family, government, aristocrats and elites escape to Canada, leaving behind a group of proletarian poor people who are willing to fight to the death with the Germans? What else can I fight against the British local defense war?

If the British mainland cannot be saved, then the United States will have no springboard to counterattack the European continent. Without the springboard, can the Americans still cross the Atlantic Ocean to land on the European continent? Can the United States still build ultra-long-range bombers with a combat radius of 5,000 kilometers to flatten Europe?

"Mr. President, of course we will defend our homeland! As Prime Minister Churchill said in his speech, we will fight against the German Nazis anywhere, including the homeland! The king and the prime minister will fight to the last moment of the landland and then leave in an ultra-long-range plane."

The words of Viscount Halifax made Roosevelt feel a little relieved. As long as George VI and Churchill did not leave, the morale of the British and civilians could be maintained.

Viscount Halifax went on to say: "Although the king's determination to fight with the prime minister can inspire morale among the British and the people, we cannot fight by virtue of morale alone!"

"I will immediately order the resumption of transportation of supplies to the UK." President Roosevelt didn't say nonsense and immediately used real money to cheer the British.

"Is there only supplies?" Viscount Halifax showed a disappointed expression. "The British people hope to fight side by side with the American people to fight the darkest and most brutal Nazi regime in the world!"

"The United States will participate in the war!" Roosevelt gritted his teeth. He was now cheated by the British. "I will provide escort first, because it is to prevent Japanese ships from attacking our British allies on the Atlantic Ocean! We have obtained information that a Japanese battleship has now entered the Atlantic Ocean!"

This reason is quite nonsense. The United States and British allies were almost strangled to death by the Germans, and they still needed Japanese ships to travel thousands of miles to break the relationship?

However, the United States is a country that talks about procedural justice. As long as the procedures are right, there is no need to worry about others catching their pigtails.

Although the United States and Britain are not allies in the war against Germany, they are allies in the war against Japan. Therefore, it is legal for the United States to cover British transport ships in the name of war against Japan. This is the power of Roosevelt as the president of the war. If others want to pick on it, they have to prove that there are no Japanese in the Atlantic Ocean, which is of course impossible to prove.

However, the American hull that escorts British ships cannot actively attack German surface ships. You can attack underwater, because who knows underwater is a German submarine or a Japanese submarine? However, the battleships floating on the water with the German flag cannot attack actively. Unless the Germans fire first, of course, there is no need to wait until the American hull is really shot before counterattacking. Just the German ship fires in the direction of the US ship and fires live ammunition, you can confirm that the US ship is attacked by Germany, and then the US ship can counterattack and provoke a war according to law.

...

"Roosevelt! Liar!"

A man was screaming hysterically! In the conference room of the German Chancellor's Office, in front of a large number of cabinet ministers.

"He actually said that there were Japanese battleships on the Atlantic Ocean. As the president of a big country, how could he ignore the facts and talk nonsense like this! How could Americans tolerate such a liar who is full of lies staying in the White House? Are they all blind and deaf?"

Hessmann was already a little regretful when he heard Hitler talking nonsense. If he was the Chief of Staff now, he would not have to attend the cabinet meeting at the Prime Minister's Office, and naturally he would not have to listen to Hitler talking nonsense every few days.

"Hess!" Adolf Hitler asked angrily, "Didn't you say Roosevelt would not be enemies with Germany? Didn't you say that the United States would not interfere in European affairs before defeating Japan? Didn't you say that we can live in peace with the United States?"

Rudolph Hess lowered his head and blushed, looking as if he wanted to find a hole to drill down. He looked like an honest child who had been deceived.

"Mr. Prime Minister," Hessmann didn't want Hitler to criticize Hess anymore. There was no way to be honest. Hess has always been like this. "In fact, we are not unable to deal with Roosevelt... If we don't want to declare war on the United States for the time being."

"What's the solution?" Hitler asked, then seemed to explain his position, and added: "It is indeed not the time to declare war on the United States...Aren't we going to occupy Guyana now as a springboard to enter America? Even if we want to declare war, we should wait until we occupy Guyana." (To be continued.)
