“Mr. President, you can’t hesitate any longer. If you hesitate any longer, something terrible will happen!”
The Minister of Defense, the Chief of the General Staff, the Minister of National Martial Arts, the Vice President and others were all extremely anxious. The domestic situation had already developed to such a point, but the President had not yet ordered action against the rebellious German immigrants in the country. This made everyone very anxious!
In their opinion, if this matter continued to drag on, the situation would only get worse, and the losses would be even greater, and the scope of impact would be even wider!
“What is the situation now?”
Roosevelt was actually very anxious. He imagined a thousand and ten thousand scenes of a decisive battle with Hans in the Atlantic Ocean or even in Europe, but he never expected that the war would come suddenly in such a situation and catch them off guard!
“In the 50 states of the country, except Hawaii and Alaska, the remaining 48 states have experienced varying degrees of rebellion.
Although this incident seems very sudden, after the outbreak of the incident, the actions of German immigrants are very methodical. They began to huddle together for warmth at the first time. The residents of the community united together and then gathered in places with more German populations. Among them, the northern region where German immigrants are concentrated has now formed three large strongholds, and each stronghold has a German population of about 500,000 to 1.5 million!
However, this is not the most fatal.
The most fatal are several coastal states in the south.
There are many German immigrants here, most of whom immigrated after 1848.
The proportion of the population in the southern states even exceeds 50%.
When the riots that swept across the country began, the German immigrants in these places immediately colluded with each other.
Their population size has now exceeded 10 million, and they have even formed a militia force of more than 500,000 people.
This force recently defeated the Florida National Guard and occupied Jefferson City, a major town in northern Florida!
”
“What is the situation of casualties and property losses?”
After hearing the words of the Minister of Defense, Roosevelt’s heart sank. He asked the question that concerned him most at the moment.
“The exact casualty data has not been counted yet, but it is conservatively estimated that the casualties caused by this riot will be very huge, because when the incident occurred, the hostility of the people everywhere towards Germany was extremely high, and they treated the German immigrants as enemies and launched a fierce attack on them, causing the German immigrants to suffer huge losses in the early stage.
After being attacked, they also began to retaliate fiercely, resulting in a large number of civilian casualties.
The data we have now shows that the casualties of German immigrants have exceeded 1.5 million, and the casualties of other people have exceeded 1 million!”
The words of the Minister of Defense shocked everyone!
One million and a half plus one million, that’s two million and a half!
It’s only been a few days?
Has the Eagle Sauce already suffered such heavy casualties?
If we count the losses caused by the German army in the previous few times, their casualties are close to 3 million!
You know, in the First World War, the Eagle Sauce had a total of less than 500,000 soldiers killed and wounded on the battlefield, of which less than 100,000 were killed, and most of them were injured. But this time, most of their casualties were deaths. Armed fights among the people led to the tragic deaths of a large number of civilians. Because there were too many people and the location was remote, it was difficult for the wounded in the conflict to get treatment in the first place!
Without timely and effective treatment, their mortality rate was extremely high, even higher than the casualty rate of the Crimean War in 1853!
No one expected that the scale of this rebellion would be so large, the intensity so high, and the losses it brought to them would be so huge!
If this kind of thing is allowed to continue to develop, their losses will definitely continue to rise!
“Okay, pass on my order and have General MacArthur lead his troops south to quell the rebellion in the South. Tell MacArthur that the Third Reich will not miss such a good opportunity to intervene. They will definitely send troops to intervene in our civil war, so the rebellion must be quelled in the shortest possible time, and casualties must be minimized as much as possible!”
Roosevelt knew that he couldn’t hesitate any longer. The matter had already turned out like this. If he continued to drag it on, things would only get worse!
Although he was born after the Civil War and had not experienced the brutal Civil War, this war was the most tragic and caused the greatest loss of life and property since the founding of the United States. Even the losses caused by the First World War were not as great as those caused by the Civil War.
Therefore, any sober-minded American should know how terrible the civil war is. If this riot turns into a civil war, with the destructive power of modern weapons and possible foreign military intervention, the damage caused by their civil war will inevitably be several times greater than the Civil War sixty years ago! Therefore
, this riot must be ended in the shortest possible time, and this riot must not be allowed to turn into another civil war. If that happens, the United States will be seriously injured!
After hearing President Roosevelt’s order, the Secretary of Defense breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned around to execute the order.
However, Chief of Staff Marshall hesitated for a moment and came back halfway.
“What’s wrong, Marshall? Is there anything else?”
Roosevelt rubbed his temple tiredly. Seeing Marshall coming back, he looked at him strangely.
“President, although Eisenhower is a German immigrant, he is sincere and loyal to the United States. You have not given him any appointment. Do you want to dismiss him?”
As the Chief of Staff of the American Army, Marshall knows the generals under his command better than others.
Among the army generals of the previous generation of the American Army, MacArthur and Eisenhower are the most promising.
There is nothing wrong with MacArthur’s identity. He is not a German immigrant, so he can be used with confidence, but Eisenhower’s identity is a bit troublesome! Eisenhower is the descendant of genuine German immigrants, and he is also the highest-ranking German general in the American Army!
Marshall is very optimistic about Eisenhower, so he does not want Eisenhower to be implicated because of such things, so he hopes that President Roosevelt will show mercy and give Eisenhower a chance.
Hearing Marshall’s words, Roosevelt pondered for a while, then shook his head:”No matter how loyal Eisenhower is, no matter how much I trust him, I can’t continue to use him!”
“Ah, why?”
Marshall asked anxiously and in surprise.
