Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 340: San Francisco
On January 6, 1941, the weather in San Francisco was fine, with thin clouds and breeze, and the temperature was pleasant. With the sound of the sirens of the loading and unloading machines starting, a noisy and busy day began in the coastal dock area.
"Although I do not want to admit it, the gap between the British Empire and the United States has been put on the table. I really hope that the clever people in the parliament can face this fact as soon as possible and come up with a solution to the problem." Henry Logan stirred the silver spoon in the famille rose porcelain cup, and then placed the small spoon on the side of the saucer gracefully.
"I don't know what the gentlemen in the London Parliament think, but I know the answer is already hidden in your heart." Welby shook the newspaper in his hand and turned a new page.
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Henry picked up his teacup and turned his eyes away from the terrace.
"You know what I'm talking about, dear Henry," Welby folded the newspaper and laid it on the edge of the table, then picked up the silver coffee pot beside him.
"Now let me guess what your answer is." Welby held the pot in one hand and held the lid with the other hand, slowly pouring hot coffee into the cup in front of him.
"It's war." Welby raised his eyes to look at Henry on the opposite side, and saw that he put the red tea cup back on the saucer with an indifferent expression, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"War can destroy everything, and it can also create everything. The great empires in history often rise with war, and the same war can also lead to the demise of a world power. A recent example" The German glanced at Britain The peers glanced at it, and did not continue to speak very much.
"The United States naturally has geostrategic advantages, and at the same time it has enough strength to deal with a modern war." Henry picked up the folded napkin at hand, opened it and stuffed it in the collar room.
"What if it's an all-out war on a very large scale." Welby took a sip of coffee and frowned. He felt that the sugar he had just added was not enough.
"How ambitious do you think it will be?" Henry picked up the knife and fork beside the dinner plate.
"Enough to trigger a national mobilization in the United States." Welbey lowered his head and added a sugar cube to the cup.
"This is unlikely."
"What if I say it is possible?"
"What the **** do you know? Welby." Henry asked, staring into his colleagues' eyes.
"As much as you know, Henry." The German took another sip of coffee, this time raising his eyebrows in satisfaction.
"I still think this is ridiculous." Heng poked the fried egg on the plate with a fork: "Even if the expected war really breaks out, the interests of the British Empire will also be threatened. Our interests in Southeast Asia are too Deeper."
"Didn't you already start preparing?" Welbe shakes the napkin away.
Henry hesitated for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said: "At present, it is far from enough."
"You know Japan better than us, right." Welbey started cutting the bacon on his plate.
"The information we have has long been outdated. The Japanese have been guarding us all the time. Those idiots sitting in the office giving orders, thought that everything was still under their control." Henry was loyal to the British Empire. In his opinion, the proud British Empire would fall into this field. It is because the trash in Whitehall is too incompetent.
Speaking of speaking, he should actually hate Verbe, his German counterpart, but after this period of contact, he was surprised to find that there are many common languages between the two. It seems that the words of the seniors are correct. Yes, the enemy may be the one who knows you best.
"To be honest, I didn't expect the MIB to send you over this time, Henry." Welbe forkped a piece of bacon and sent it into the mouth.
"Who did you think it was?" Heng wiped the corners of his lips with a napkin.
"That **** Still." Welby chewed on the bacon, his eyes full of smiles.
"Why is it him?" Henry's movement stopped.
"Because I think that even if that guy died in Japan, there is nothing to be a pity." Welbey swallowed the bacon, he was very satisfied with the witty words just now, and looked overwhelmed.
"It's a shame." Henry shrugged solemnly, and then laughed: "We may not see that stallion for a long time, Verbe, he hooked up some time ago The niece of Sir Wiesen."
"Really? The Wiesen in the House of Lords? Then he really does not live or die."
"Who said no, according to time, he should be on the passenger ship to Mumbai now."
"Is this transferred to India? The old guy is really ruthless." The German said with his mouth curled.
"Who said no." The British nodded in sympathy.
"I remember you used to stay in Japan for a while." Welby sliced open the omelet, then grabbed a small piece of white bread and dipped it in the yolk.
"Yes, I did mention to you that I stayed in Japan for almost six months."
Welbey put the bread on his lips: "I remember you said it was going to investigate."
"Your memory is okay. At the time I was a trainee ensign in the Royal Navy." Henry said, shaking the butter knife in his hand.
"This is my first time to Japan, but I have read a lot of relevant information. What do you think of it? I mean, what kind of country is it?" Verbé asked curiously .
"It’s hard to say clearly in words, Welby. After all, I’ve not stayed for a long time. This country has a special kind of charm. It’s a feeling. Only you. Go to this country, then use your own eyes to see, use your ears to hear, talk to them, and experience everything personally before you can feel it.
You know that I have been to many countries, but I swear that no country gives me the same feeling as Japan. To be honest, I was fascinated by this ancient, elegant and mysterious oriental country. I also made many Japanese friends. Some even kept communicating with me until I entered the military intelligence bureau.
But looking back now, I began to wonder whether what I saw back then was really their true face. The Japanese were too good at disguising, and I was just an arrogant young officer. "Henry's tone was full of emotion, which reminded him of his youthful times.
"Well, I hope you can find the answer there this time." Welbe finished talking and drank his coffee.
"Do you believe they would really be so crazy and declare war on Europe and America at the same time?" Henry asked.
"From the current situation, this possibility is getting bigger and bigger, so we must plan for the worst in advance." Welbe straightened his waist.
"Germany’s biggest opponent is the giant red bear. Once a war breaks out in the Pacific, we will not be able to devote too much energy to this battlefield. By then, the pressure on your UK will be considerable."
"This is what I am most worried about now, so if Japan shifts its strategic focus to the United States." Henry tore off the napkin from the collar between the collars, wiped the corners of his mouth, and threw it on the table.
"It's too early to say this. I think the most important question we need to consider is how to accomplish our mission, Henry." Welby stood up from the dining table, he glanced at the British agent, and then Walk slowly towards the fence of the terrace.
"If the United States loses at the beginning of this war", the British stand up~IndoMTL.com~ Unless the Japanese are launching a blitzkrieg, don't forget that the Pacific Ocean is between the two sides, not the Ardennes Forest. "Welbey replied while holding on to the fence: "This is not something that people like us need to consider. Let the big figures in London and Berlin have a headache. ".
"That said, I do think too much sometimes. From here, the location of this hotel is really good." Henry leaned against the fence and took out the cigarette case from his pocket.
"Yes, there are a lot of hotels facing the port area, but like this" Welbey took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, then pointed to the harbour outside the terrace and said, "Even if there are No money can be booked.".
On the sea not far from the hotel, a huge battleship is anchored quietly. From the terrace, you can clearly see the beautiful gray and black three-color polyline camouflage painting on the hull. At the top of the tall mast, a huge German Empire naval flag is flying in the wind.
