"I'm sure everyone is aware of the events that took place in Guyana on April 15 and 16.
Nazi Germany, which conquered most of Europe by force, first used a plot to overthrow the Dutch Guiana authorities, and then invaded the region by force, which was located on the American continent and close to the United States.
Such acts of aggression against the American continent not only seriously infringe upon the interests of the United States, but also violate the bottom line that the United States has pursued since 1836 on the question of the Americas, that is, European countries can no longer colonize any American country and the United States regards any attempt to colonize the Americas as a threat to national security.
That is why my Government handed over an ultimatum to the Government of Nazi Germany on 17 April.
On the issue of defending the Americas, the land that belongs to all Americans, we must not shrink or waver, but must show the most resolute stand.
If we had chosen to retreat on the question of Guyana in April 1942, the Nazi troops from Europe would soon have invaded Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, just as they had done on the continent.
The United States of America itself would eventually become a target for the Nazi army.
So I and the rest of the U.S. government, and most of the members of the House and Senate of the United States of America, agreed that we needed to take the strongest stance, even at the cost of fighting.
And today, April 18, 1942, the Government of Nazi Germany refuses to withdraw its armed forces from Guyana, and Nazi Germany is determined to extend the clutches of aggression from Europe to the peaceful and prosperous Americas, and to divide our homeland with their Japanese allies.
Therefore, I made a request to the US Congress at 1 p.m. today to declare war on the German Reich, and the members of Congress supported it.
Now, the United States of America was at war with the German Empire As commander-in-chief of the U.S. military, I know very well that the enemy is unusually strong.
But the American military, the American industry, and the American people are stronger, and if we fight bravely, we can defeat all enemies.
Victory will be America's" On the afternoon of April 18, 1942, President Roosevelt gave another "fireside chat" to the nation, telling the people of the United States with majesty, firmness, and confidence the terrible news that the United States and Germany were already at war.
At the same time, he also explained the reason, a very correct reason in the eyes of the American people, that the United States could not allow Nazi Germany to run rampant in Latin America, because everyone knows that the vast majority of Latin American people love the United States very much and dream of swearing allegiance under the Stars and Stripes in their hands and in the Bible.
Therefore, the United States also has an obligation to protect these future American citizens from being bullied by the evil Nazis.
At the same time, on the other side of the Atlantic, a thunderous German leader waved his arms exaggeratedly from the podium of the European Senate and shouted in a tone of rage that looked like it was about to explode.
"Just a few hours ago, US President Franklin D.
Roosevelt forcefully rejected the opportunity to live in peace with Europe, claiming that the Americas are Americans, and we have no objection to that.
But Roosevelt was also stubbornly unwilling to admit that Europe was European He accused us Europeans of invading Dutch Guiana, even though it had belonged to the Netherlands, a European country since 1667.
At the same time, he was unwilling to return Iceland and the Azores, two lands that had been part of Europe since ancient times, to the European countries of Denmark and Portugal in exchange for the withdrawal of our troops from Dutch Guiana.
Because Iceland and the Azores are now the overseas territories of the United States of America, the two European lands of the United States colony, and hundreds of thousands of European people are now being treated by the Americans as the Philippines and Filipinos.
This is something that has not happened in Europe since the weakening of the empire of the H-cultists, and the lands of Europe were occupied by armies from other continents, and the peoples of Europe became slaves of the great powers of other continents.
It is a great shame that the barbarous empire of the United States, the new continent, is riding on the neck of us Europeans, and the American empire is trampling on our dignity at will, the dignity of the noblest race in the world, you tell me, whether you choose to be like Constantine XI to be a warrior to defend Europe, or a slave under the whip of the Americans One might say: Mr.
Hitler, the United States is very powerful, it has the most steel and oil in the world, it can produce millions of cars a year, and its shipbuilding industry produces more ships in a year than the whole of Europe combined.
Yes, these people are right, the United States is indeed strong, and a war with the United States may cost many European lives.
But I want to tell them that there is something more important in this world than life, and that is freedom, that is, dignity As long as the American flag is flying over Iceland and the Azores every day, the dignity of our Europe will not exist, and as long as the country called the United States dares to interfere in our internal affairs with money, weapons and equipment, and even send troops, the dignity of our Europeans will not exist What we need is not a Europe that is torn apart and bullied by external powers, but a Europe that unites itself and dares to defend its own interests and living space from being violated, not through peaceful negotiations and compromises, but by iron and blood All of us Europeans will unite for freedom and dignity, for a new, strong Europe, for the fight to drive out of European soil those aggressors who seek to enslave us and our children and grandchildren Fight for the sake of our children and grandchildren who can proudly claim that we are Europa people who never give in Long live my compatriots, Europe and its peoples" With a click, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill reluctantly turned off a radio in the cabinet conference room at 10 Downing Street.
Then he smiled and said to the cabinet members: "This is the first time that I feel that Mr.
Adolf Hitler's speech is very beautiful, do you feel that way?"
"Prime Minister, on the other side of the English Channel, there may be many people who will find his speech very beautiful."
Deputy Prime Minister Attlee is still grimacing.
Now the upper class of British mainland society is "tearing apart", almost every famous family is divided in two, those who are determined to fight the Nazis to the end have gone to Canada, and the undetermined elements who want to compromise remain in the country to prepare for the war of resistance "But we will still win," said Churchill, smiling as he smoked his favorite Cuban cigar, "and the United States will be followed by the Soviet Union, and the Germans will soon be the enemy of the whole world."
Our perseverance has finally paid off, and we will be the victors in this war, and no matter how difficult the prospect may be, we will always have the last laugh. ” "But before we can achieve victory, the Germans will land in the south of England."
Attlee said in a deep tone.
"The Americans can't help us now, they can't even maintain the Atlantic shipping line."
"But the Soviets," Churchill said, "as soon as the Germans landed and fought against our millions of troops on British soil, then Stalin's Red Army would open a second battlefield and strike the Nazis from behind." ” Although Churchill and George VI had agreed on a "one Britain and each other" retreat, this did not mean that they were willing to abandon their homeland.
Ideally, a decisive battle with the Germans would be fought in southern England, with a few million British troops to contain at least 1.5 million of the most elite German army and more than half of Germany's air power, so that Stalin would have the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Eastern Front.
"Will the Soviet Union really enter the war," Admiral Attlee asked, incredulously.
Although he represented the working class, he did not trust the Soviet Union and the GC International.
In his view, if the Soviet Union were to rule Europe, it would certainly be better to let the German Nazis continue to run rampant in Europe.
"Yes," Churchill said with great certainty, "now that the United States has entered the war, if the Soviet Union chooses to stand by again, those people will lose the opportunity to liberate all mankind."
Clement Attlee, you know more about human theory than I do, do you think they will give up this opportunity?"
"Natalie, what do you say is the probability that Stalin will attack us" On the day the United States and Germany declared war, Hersmann, who was the German defense minister, did not study how to defeat the United States, but called Natalie Lesinskaya, the head of the Army Policy Council, to his office and asked about the Soviet-German war.
Truth be told, Hersman had expectations for Roosevelt to lead the United States into the war.
But whether Stalin would fight or not, he was not completely sure.
So back last year, Hersman referred the issue to Natalie's Army Policy Council for study.

"Judging from the current guidance of public opinion in the Soviet Union and the import and export situation of the Soviet Union over the past year or so, Stalin was ready for war."
Natalie's research is actually to study the official newspapers of the Soviet Union and the foreign trade situation of the Soviet Union, and look for clues from them.
"Sneak attack while we attack the British mainland" Natalie shook her head slightly and smiled: "I don't know this, I only know that Stalin was a cautious leader."
Therefore, he was not completely sure that he would not attack Germany.
Perhaps we can use some means to deter the Soviet adventures, but I do not recommend that you use the means to deter the Soviet Union. ” "Why," Hersman asked.
"Because a strong Soviet Union was in the east of Germany and was always a great threat."
Natalie smiled gracefully and said, "Especially if we can't conquer America."
Can you imagine the prospect of the United States and the Soviet Union always joining forces against us for the next 20 or 30 years" t1706231537:
