Chapter 853 (1/2)
Declare war.
Roosevelt's speech on Capitol Hill soon spread through the city, but unlike what some people wanted to see, it was no longer seen as a conspiracy to resist.
War, the despicable Japanese must pay for the crimes it has committed.
In the vote for the war in Congress, almost 80% of the members chose to support Roosevelt.
The despicable attack of the ”undeclared war” completely angered the Americans.
Young people have taken to the streets, holding up the ”counter offensive against Japan, let them pay the price.”.
”Do you think our president is happy or sad now?” Li Zitao, standing on the roof of the apartment, looking at the procession, asked.
”I think it should be the former.” Lawrence said with a smile.
”Perhaps he regrets it now?” Li said.
”If so, can he go to this day?” How can a person who changes day and night and has no firm will sit on the presidency with a disabled body.
”Tell me the business.” Instead of arguing with Lawrence, Li Zitao shifted the topic to the Soviet Union, ”how is the Soviet industry handled?”
”As you mean, it's speeding up... We're losing a lot of money.” Lawrence said with some heartache.
Li Zitao asked them to cash in as soon as possible, even if it was sold at a discount. He only wanted to get rid of it quickly.
Such a move not only makes them suffer huge losses, but also brings some small troubles.
The Ministry of Commerce of the Soviet Union personally approached Lawrence and asked him why he was so anxious to leave the field.
”What do you say?” Li Zitao asked.
”Of course, it means transformation. Can't we tell them to run away?” Lawrence shrugged his shoulders in silence.
In his view, even if the war began, there was no need to sell the industry in such a hurry.
Can the war continue for more than ten years? As long as the war is over and the international influence is taken into account, the loss will be compensated in the end.
And the Soviet Union, which claims to be in debt to them, will also open the door to business and seize the opportunity to occupy the market. At that time, it is not to make a soft profit.
Who could have guessed that, shortly after the end of World War II, there was a large-scale cold war between East and West interest groups lasting for 45 years.
Business?
Everything is collective. If you want to smuggle and speculate, it is ”sudden.”
Therefore, this matter does not need to be considered again. As long as he can get rid of all of them before the war, Li Zi Tao will feel lucky enough.
However, this time, God did not take care of him as a ”stowaway.”
On the eighth day of the Pearl Harbor incident, on May 19, 1941, Germany launched a surprise attack.
Undeclared war is the right way to open war.
No one thought that Germany would suddenly give up its conquering Greece and launch a direct attack on the Soviet Union.
From the beginning of the war, the Red Army of the Soviet Union, which was totally unprepared, was constantly losing ground.
In this attack, the German army made perfect use of the advantages of Blitzkrieg, pushed forward at the fastest speed, and launched a pincer attack after occupying Minsk and Kiev.
This action wiped out the active force of the Soviet Army on a large scale, went deep into the Soviet Union, and hit the Soviet people running around holding their heads.
With the help of the army, the remaining German troops launched a final attack on Athens.
At the same time, Germany forced a large number of troops from the vassal states, continuously filling the Soviet battlefield.
