Of course, there are pro-German factions in Canada The French people of Quebec are now very pro-German, and have long been looking forward to the Bourbon prince to be their king.
Of course, that's not the only reason why Quebecers are pro-German.
In this era, the French people in Quebec were mainly farmers, and their products were mainly sold in Europe, and the United States itself was a super agricultural power with so many agricultural products that it was about to collapse, and there was no need for Canadian agricultural products at all, while Europeans were the big customers of Quebec farmers with more people and less land.
Now because of the war, Quebec's farmers are about to go bankrupt, and naturally they want to "enter Europe" in their dreams.
In addition to the French farmers in Quebec, Germans in Canada are generally more German-friendly, and the most influential pro-German figure is named Margaret Ross von Saxon, Coburg Gotha, she is the heir to the British Canadian throne, Princess Margaret, who was supposed to use the surname Windsor.
But I don't know what she thought, since the Soviet-Russian peace was actually after Germany won the Soviet-German war, she restored her ancestral surname, the Saxony Coburg Gotha family surname is Weting, and she also crowned "Feng" before the surname, completely claiming to be the princess of the German Saxony Coburg Gotha dynasty, and began to learn German According to Donovan's information, the heir to the Canadian throne, who is said to be guilty of adolescent rebellion, is very unhappy about marrying a Bourbon prince, and her fantasy husband should be a German prince, preferably a vicious Nazi warrior, and even better if he is an ace pilot In short, as the balance of victory in the war tipped more and more in favor of Germany, many Canadians in Canada, including Princess Margaret, found that many of them were of German ancestry.
Some British aristocrats who originated in Germany simply reverted to their German ancestral surnames, adding "von" to their names, and many Canadians and British began to learn German.
Now that Queen Elizabeth of England has announced that she will send troops to expel the US troops in Canada, I am afraid that the arrogance of the pro-German faction in Canada will become even more arrogant, and the pro-American camp may be greatly shaken "There won't be any changes in Canada," Truman began to worry about the changes in Canada after learning a lot of pro-German information about Canada.
There are now hundreds of thousands of fighting British troops on Canadian soil, and if anything happens, the United States will die an ugly death.
"Not yet," Donovan thought for a moment, "if we lose the battle in Newfoundland and Labrador, and let the British army invade Brunswick, I'm afraid there will be a serious problem." ” The British army in Canada will resist the invading German army, but it is difficult to say whether they will fight the invasion, it should be with the British army that came to liberate.
As for the British traitor or something, this is what the Americans are saying, and the Canadians don't see it that way at all.
In the eyes of most Canadians, Queen Elizabeth was the rightful heir to the British throne, serving as regent of Britain after the escape of George VI, crowning king in the face of a rebellion in London and the collapse of both the cabinet and parliament.
"Mr.
President, we should be prepared to help Canada become independent from Britain and establish a democratic republic if necessary."
It was the Secretary of War Wallace who made this suggestion, who did not have a penny of favor for the monarchy in any situation.
He was even more resolute in his opposition to the establishment of a reactionary pro-German European dynasty in Saxony, Coburg, and Gotha, which was in fact a German dynasty that ruled Canada after the war, and that dynasty could well become a tool for German power to penetrate North America "Henry," Truman said, glancing at Wallace, "if we overthrow George VI and install a Canadian republic, our peace negotiations with the European Community will be extremely difficult.
And Canada's hundreds of thousands of British troops and millions of militiamen are likely to become our enemies."
"But the President," Wallace said, shaking his head, "if we allow the pro-German forces in Canada to swell, even if peace is achieved, there is a risk that the United States will be plunged back into crisis because of Canada's total turn to Germany in the future."
If Germany deploys long-range bombers capable of carrying atomic bombs on Canadian soil, the entire United States will be wiped out."
Wallace's reasoning is hard to refute, and Truman glanced at William Leahy, the president's chief of staff, whose already white eyebrows were twisted into a ball, as if struggling to figure out what to do.
"Mr.
President," said Leahy, "Secretary Wallace is right when he says that we must prevent Canada from falling into Germany after the war and that Canada should be independent and not exist as part of the British Empire." ” "Are we going to occupy Ottawa, Montreal, and Quebec?"
Truman asked.
"No, it won't work."
U.S.
Army Chief of Staff Marshall interjected that "the Army in Canada is not prepared to do so and cannot disarm the Canadian Army in a short period of time." ” "Then think of something else."
Wallace said, "Like being prepared to control George VI and Princess Margaret."
Also, we should make it clear to George VI that the United States is against a prince from Europe becoming the future king of Canada" Truman thought about it, and the current solution seemed to be more acceptable: "Okay, that's it.
I would have given Kennedy a trip to Canada, he had been ambassador to England and had a good relationship with King George VI.
If King George VI had followed his advice at that time, we would not have been so passive now. ” At that time, Kennedy believed that Britain could not defeat Germany and that peace should be negotiated as soon as possible.
This suggestion was criticized by Britain and the United States at the time, causing him to lose his post as ambassador to Britain, which now seems prescient.
And when Truman mentioned this, there was a sudden embarrassment in the conference room of the White House bunker.
Wallace glanced at William Leahy, and the Chief of Staff of the President immediately said, "Mr.
President, the situation on the island of Newfoundland has stabilized and is beginning to change in our favor.
Although the Germans organized continuous airdrops during the day on the 26th and 27th, there were no super-large transport planes that could carry tanks, and all the people who were dropped on Newfoundland were ordinary paratroopers.
These lighter forces could not compete with our armored forces in any way, so on the night of the 26th and 27th, our advance was quite smooth, and now the German army was compressed into a narrow strip of several tens of kilometers long near the western shore of the Cagepschen Bay. ” Following the airdrop during the day on the 26th, hundreds of sorties of Fokker 42 flew over Newfoundland during the day on the 27th, dropping thousands of paratroopers and a large amount of supplies, and now the number of German troops on the west shore of Concepson Bay has exceeded 30,000.
However, the U.S. military on Newfoundland is not worried about the increase in the number of German troops, what really frightens them is the German tanks and tank destroyers, especially the E25 tank destroyer that appeared on the battlefield for the first time, is extremely combative, and its 70 times the diameter of the 75 gun can even threaten the front of the American 26 "Pershing" tank at a distance of 1,500 meters when using pointed tungsten core armor-piercing shells.
In the event of a night engagement, the E25 tank destroyer, with its superior night vision devices, could threaten the 26 Pershing tanks at a distance of 1,000 meters, and at this time the commander of the Pershing tank had not even discovered the E25's hidden position with the help of flares.
So in the battles on the night of the 26th and the night of the 27th, the US 16th Armored Division lost a total of hundreds of tanks and tank destroyers of all kinds, and the progress was very slow.
The so-called compression of the German army into a narrow strip of several tens of kilometers near the western shore of Concepson Bay was only the result of the German army's voluntary contraction.
But the destruction of more than a hundred tanks and tank destroyers was not too much for the American troops on Newfoundland, they had enough stocks to consume, and the route to Newfoundland was not completely cut off by German submarines and mines. 26 "Pershing" tanks were transported from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland.
In addition, many airfields on Newfoundland that had been destroyed in a major German air raid on the 24th were repaired.
The C47 transport planes that transported the tank crew members could land on the island at night, so by daylight on the 28th, the number of tanks and tank destroyers on Newfoundland Island had increased by more than 300 instead of decreasing With these new tank destroyers, the U.S. military also urgently formed a new armored division on the island of Newfoundland, the 21st Armored Division of the U.S.
Army.
The 21st Panzer Division, the 16th Panzer Division, the 11th Airborne Division, the 13th Airborne Division, and the 17th Airborne Division formed the 20th Army Corps, which was transferred from Trinidad under the command of Lieutenant General Walton Walton under the command of Admiral Patton, and was specifically responsible for attacking the German forces on the west shore of Concepson Bay.

"Mr.
President," Marshall, Chief of Staff of the U.S.
Army, assured President Truman, "Lieutenant General Walton Walker has commanded troops in bloody battles with the Japanese in the Hawaiian Islands and has a great deal of combat experience.
The five elite panzer and paratrooper divisions under his command will soon attack, and within a week, the German army entrenched on the west shore of the Strait of Concepson will be completely annihilated."
"The Germans on Newfoundland will be wiped out in one week," Truman said.
"No problem."
Chief of Naval Operations Ernest Kin also said: "President, we have many light ships in the Concepson Bay, and tens of thousands of mines have been laid, and it is simply impossible for the German ships to break through in 1 week."
So, the German troops on the island of Newfoundland were practically isolated. ” Chapter 1253 Atomic Bomb Ten "It's great" The President of the United States was relieved to hear Ernest Kin's assurance, and then said to Secretary of War Wallace: "Henry, I think the victory on Newfoundland Island can draw a perfect end to this world war." ” "President, are you saying" Wallace did not seem to understand Truman's words, "you are saying that we should make peace with the Germans" "Not only Germany," Truman shook his head vigorously, "but also Japan, and the whole world should restore peace after the battle on Newfoundland." ” "Japan," Wallace shook his head vigorously, "but they are about to be defeated, and the Far East war they started is a complete disaster, and even that bastard Hideki Tojo is to blame and resigns." ” For the United States and Europe, the war in the Far East began as an inconspicuous local war in a distant place.
None of the Great General Staff of Germany, headed by Field Marshal Hersmann, seemed to have seriously studied the war, because for Germany, the three parties involved in the war in the Far East, Soviet Russia, led by the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union, were now not the official name of the state, but Soviet Russia; Neither China nor the Japanese Empire, led by the Chinese Bolshevik Party, were enemies of Germany.
The Soviet-German war has turned into a "Soviet-Russian civil war" in 1944, and in July 1944 there has been an armistice, which is also what Germany is happy to see, if there is no armistice, then there are not so many "100 million" on Stalin's side, but the Slavic masters will all join Europe, so Germany actually does not want Soviet Russia to be defeated by Japan in the Far East, which will speed up the unification of Russia.
In 1939, the central power in China completely fell into the hands of the Soviet-backed Bolshevik Party, which actually had something to do with Germany, because Germany started a world war at that time, and also assumed an alliance with the Soviet Union, making the Chinese Bolshevik Party and the revolutionary regime in southern China, which were allies of the Soviet Union, also worth a hundred times more.
As a result, the Bolshevik Party became the dominant force of the revolutionary regime in the south, and then launched the Second Northern Expedition, with the aim of entrenching the Fengzhang regime in North and Northeast China.
Britain, the United States, France and other powers, for fear of offending the Soviet Union, were very afraid of the alliance between the Soviet Union and Germany, so when the Bolshevik army began the Northern Expedition, they severed diplomatic relations with Fengzhang and established diplomatic relations with the revolutionary government in the south, which was tantamount to pronouncing the death sentence of the Fengzhang regime Japan, as the backstage of the Fengzhang regime, intervened when the Northern Expeditionary Army approached Beijing, and the Soviet Union did not show weakness by sending the Red Army's 56th Army under Zhukov's command from Outer Mongolia to support the Chinese revolution.
The two sides fought a decisive battle on the Chahar steppe, but neither announced the result after the battle.
There seems to be neither a winner nor a loser.
However, according to reliable rumors, the elite 2nd Division and the 1st Cavalry Group of the Japanese Army at that time were equivalent to divisions, trying to repel the Soviet troops before the Soviet troops and the Chinese Red Army could join forces from the south of Mongolia.
As a result, the two sides launched a field battle on the Chahar steppe, and the Japanese army also learned the power of mechanized warfare for the first time.
The 26 tank barely stood out in the later Soviet-German war.
However, they were not something that could be stopped by the Japanese army, which had no anti-tank means, so the battle would inevitably end in a crushing defeat for the Japanese army.
After this battle, the Chinese Red Army of the Northern Expedition marched into Beijing and Tianjin without bloodshed, and the garrisons under the Japanese Lend-Lease in Tianjin were hastily withdrawn after the Battle of Chahar, while the troops of Britain, France, and the United States stationed there, together with the foreign troops stationed in the Shanghai Concession, retreated at the request of the Chinese revolutionary government.
However, the Chinese Red Army, which had successfully gained access to North China, did not continue to march into the northeastern hinterland, but advanced to the western Liaoning region with the assistance of the Soviet Red Army, occupied the Liaoning Corridor and the Rehe Mountains, and then declared an armistice with the Feng regime.
The failed Feng regime also had civil strife, the old marshal Zhang Zuolin lived 10 years longer than history and was assassinated, the young marshal Zhang Xueliang fled to Beijing, and the Feng general Tang Yulin became the lord of the three eastern provinces with the support of the rest of the Feng system, and continued to survive under the protection of Japan.
The Chahar War, which was not well received by the West, became the main reason why Japan abandoned its policy of continental expansion at the end of 1941.
But by 1944, seeing the Soviet Union retreat under German blows, Japan once again picked up the policy of continental expansion that had already been abandoned.
The Army, led by Hideki Tojo, developed a risky expansion plan and prepared to dispatch more than 1 million elite "mechanized troops" in an attempt to defeat the Soviet Red Army and seize the Far East and at the same time take all of Northeast China.
However, what the Japanese did not expect was that what they would encounter on the Far Eastern continent was not only the defeat of more than a million German Nazi soldiers who had defeated the Nazis, which the Japanese could not deal with, but also countless Chinese GC fighters In the seventeen or eighteen years before 1944, although China completed a vigorous social revolution, the country remained inconspicuous in the eyes of the great powers.
Because this is the era of industrialization, and China is very backward in this regard, it is not in the eyes of the Great Japanese Empire.
Of course, there is some truth in the Japanese opinion.
Due to the very limited strength of the USSR itself at that time, it was not possible to provide assistance, as was later the case under Khrushchev.
So until 1942, the industrial level of China's "liberated areas" was still very weak, with the indicative steel output just exceeding 1 million tons, less than one-seventh of Japan's, and only 5 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, only a quarter of Japan's, and only tens of millions of tons of coal.
However, this does not mean that in the nearly 15 years from 1928 to 1942, China did not make great progress, and the Soviet Union helped China cultivate a whole generation of talents, and in 1928, there were only tens of thousands of graduates of colleges and universities in China.
By 1942, there were as many as 8.12 million students in colleges and universities alone, and the number of students in ordinary middle schools exceeded 10 million, the number of students in vocational middle schools exceeded 2 million, and the number of students in ordinary primary schools reached an astonishing 90 million In 1939, the two or three million Red Army soldiers who participated in the Northern Expedition were all a generation of newcomers who had received at least 6 years of GCIST revolutionary education, and of course the GCIST revolutionary education was brainwashed and militarized, and when they graduated from junior high school, they were all good GCIST fighters who wanted to write blood letters to join the Red Army to liberate all mankind.
At least ideologically, it is not at all worse than the Showa samurai in Japan.
According to the calculation of primary school graduation, there are more than 10 million in each class, of which at least five or six million are boys who are suitable for serving as soldiers, and they are also industrialized labor force.
Thus, in '42, when the United States decided to use Lend-Lease supplies, loans, and engineers to lure China into the war, the Americans soon discovered that China was a country that they had neglected, which was also related to the Chinese revolutionary government's policy of seclusion, and had amazing growth potential.
Just a small inflow of machinery and technology with a value of less than $300 million has triggered an "industrial leap" in China.
In just three years, China's steel production has more than tripled, exceeding 3 million tons, electricity has doubled to 10 billion kWh, coal has exceeded 1.5 billion tons, and oil production has exceeded 800,000 tons.
The growth of the most basic military products, including rifles, machine guns, and artillery, has reached an astonishing level, enough to arm an army of more than 10 million people.
Before Japan launched the Far Eastern War, the Bolshevik government in China was aware of the imminent invasion of Japanese imperialism, so it carried out a general mobilization in advance and organized several million Red Army.
The backbone of this army is the internationalist fighters who have experienced the baptism of the Soviet-German war, although China did not declare war on Germany, but also sent hundreds of thousands of internationalist fighters to participate in the war, and the Soviet Union also sent a huge military advisory group headed by Marshal Konev.
Although their military experience cannot be compared with that of the German army, which won on the battlefield, it is definitely not comparable to that of the Japanese army, which has never even seen mechanized warfare.
Therefore, the Far East War, which began in July 1944, became a nightmare for the Japanese Army.
The Chinese and Russian Red Army, which had absolute superiority in troops, deliberately showed weakness at the beginning, taking a defensive position on the front line of Jinzhou and the major strongholds in the Soviet Far East, dragging the blind and arrogant Japanese army into the winter war with heavy casualties.
Then, taking advantage of the ice and snow season between March 1944 and 121945 March 1944, the Soviet army launched a winter counteroffensive, and the Soviet army and the Chinese internationalist fighters who had participated in the Soviet-German war had rich experience in the winter war, not only repelling the Japanese army from all Soviet territory except North Sakhalin Island and all Chinese territory except for the Arthur fortress, but also crossed the Yalu River with great courage and high spirits.
It advanced until around the 38th parallel, and then stopped the offensive due to the warming climate and the arrival of the snowmelt season in the northeast.

The humiliating war also caused a political crisis in Japan, and Hideki Tojo, who had been proud since 1942, had to resign as prime minister in early 1945, and was replaced by Yamamoto Isoroku, a hero of the navy.
Yamamoto, who realized that Japan was unable to defeat the United States, Soviet Russia, and China at the same time, stepped up the process of negotiating peace with the United States in early 1945 and set conditions for the demilitarization of the "Hawaiian Islands" and the "Aleutian Islands."
"No," Truman shook his head, "an overly weakened Japan would not do us any good."
Because that would bring European power back to Southeast Asia and Australia, the Germans were probably playing this idea, otherwise the Japanese would not have been able to defeat so badly in the Far East War.
The Germans must have wanted to crush Japan with the power of the Soviet Union, China and us, and then let the Europeans take back the colonies of Southeast Asia and Australia and New Zealand.
We can't let them get their way." t1706231537:
