Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Six

Garden hose (from "The Lost Empire of the World") falling crown In common history books, the winter to spring between the Battle of Britain and our invasion of the Soviet Union is seen as a respite.In effect, during those eight months, the axis of the war shifted because the British Empire as an entity had left the stage of history. In 1939, this important event was still wrapped in the shroud of time, and the clues had not yet been revealed.The proper name for this war would be the War of British Imperial Succession, because the real question to be resolved was what form the new world order would take after the collapse of the British Empire and the ensuing disintegration of the entire European colonial system ?Who will rule?

This turning point in history, this momentous issue, was foreseen by Adolf Hitler.He encouraged and mobilized Germany to do whatever it took to snatch the fallen crown.What our country has accomplished in a struggle of disparate forces will someday have its fair share in history, when passion has died away and the blemish of some petty excess can be properly regarded.And at present, historians write, it seems that only the struggle of the Allies is heroic, as if we Germans are all steel monsters, we will not bleed, we will not suffer from cold and hunger, and therefore our great victories are insignificant .As Hitler said, the victorious side is writing history.But even as they praised their barely won victory, the allies unknowingly praised us.Our country fought against the entire combined power of the industrial countries of the world (except for the weak Italy and the poor country of Japan in the distance), and finally almost won the war of succession to the British Empire.

Despite Hitler's military mistakes - many and serious - my expert judgment remains that the German Armed Forces would have won the war and won the world empire had it not been for a historical accident.Fate just at this time produced his real opponent, a political genius who was even more cunning and ruthless than himself, with clearer military judgment and better material conditions for conducting industrialized warfare.This man is Franklin de Roosevelt. This man led a country that could not be compared with the German people in combat valor, as field after field proved this at last.But it doesn't matter.So great was the skill of this great steward in managing the war that the other nations were nearly shed with blood, while the dominion of the world was offered to his nation on a silver platter.

The United States of America, today's beleaguered world hegemon, has lost fewer men in the entire world war than Germany has lost in any one of five or six major battles.Almost 20 million land, sea, and air soldiers died in World War II. Among these people, the United States lost a total of only 100,000 on all fronts, including the war against Japan, in the four years of global war. About three hundred thousand people!Such global conquest without bloodshed is unprecedented in the history of the world.The American people can thank this enigmatic and hitherto elusive figure, the Augustus of the industrial century, the lame Dutch millionaire, Roosevelt.Franklin de Roosevelt's world conquest has yet to be recognized.

① Augustus (63 BC - 14 AD), Roman emperor. He has not been accorded the place he will one day be given in the present historical writings on the war.There is no doubt that this is exactly what he hoped for.This type of Augustan ruler has appeared time and again in history, wearing the mask of humble, benevolent, humanitarian ordinary citizens, but trying to seize actual power.Not since Augustus has anyone done it quite like Franklin Roosevelt.Even Augustus was not as good as he pretended, because at that time, words such as "humility" and "humanity" in the Christian vocabulary were not yet popular, and hypocrisy could not be so good.

Roosevelt's knack Franklin de Roosevelt successfully fought World War II without making major military mistakes.Since Julius Caesar, no overlord who has conquered the world has had such a record.His slogan of "unconditional surrender" was considered a mistake by many, including critics as diverse as Goebbels and Eisenhower.I disagree with this accusation, and will refute it where appropriate. Our propaganda says he is a tool of the Jews, which is, of course, nonsense.Roosevelt did nothing to save the Jews.He knew that any such action would offend Congress and prevent the war from being won.He disguised himself as a Christian humanitarian liberal, and under this clever veneer he was one of the most ruthless strategists in history.He realized that the Americans did not like the Jews any more than we did, and this was amply demonstrated throughout the Great War in their colonial policy and in the conferences of Evian and Bermuda.At these meetings they simply left the Jews to fate.

The author of this book does not worship Roosevelt personally, but my purpose of writing this book is to record the facts according to the requirements of war history.Evaluated according to this requirement, Franklin Roosevelt is indeed the master of war, and even a powerful, strong, and outstanding figure like Adolf Hitler can only be his foil in the end.Adventurous conquerors often pave the way for the domination of their enemies in this way.The adventurer sees an opportunity, and tries to exploit it with his meager strength.He wreaks havoc and intimidation before their ruthless successors break them down and build on the ruins.In the final analysis, Napoleon only kept Wellington's Britain in power for a century.Charles XII had no place in history except as a foil to Peter the Great, and the German people under Adolf Hitler accomplished nothing but ceded the British succession to Roosevelt's America.

Roosevelt's difficulties The problem with Franklin Roosevelt was that, at such a great turning point in history, he was not leading a martial nation; Adolf Hitler, by contrast, was.The American people are not timid, but living in prosperous isolation, they have been the cowards of modern history.Jiaozi naturally couldn't bear the harshness of life on the battlefield.Once in the war, the Americans fought with logistics trains full of luxury goods and self-defense supplies, which seemed ridiculous to soldiers in Germany, the Soviet Union, and even the United Kingdom.Still, they have the wealth and the will to do so.The strong can do whatever they want, and fight as they like.

Americans have a tradition of fighting militia warfare.When a strong enemy is in front of them, they give up entertainment, take up arms, and fight the battle amateurishly but bravely.Their way of fighting was developed during the Revolutionary War and consolidated during the Civil War and World War I.Roosevelt understood this.He had to corner Germany first, and then offer the American people the opportunity to conquer the globe under the pretext that America's security was threatened.He waits patiently like a spider and finally does so with a brilliant performance.But before that, he used a trick of indirect warfare, a new trick never before seen in the history of warfare, the so-called "Lend-Lease".It was in this way that he snatched away two German victories already in sight - victories over Great Britain and over the Soviet Union.

cunning trick By the end of 1940, Britain had survived Dunkirk and the air battle, but was on the brink of kneeling.Its only way of life on this planet is to rely on the United States.But the Neutrality Act threatened to sever the British from the American farms and factories that fed them.Britain has no dollars to pay for grain and oil, let alone ships, planes, and guns and ammunition, which they themselves have long been unable to produce in the necessary quantities.They were short of manpower, raw materials and factories, and the situation was worsened by air raids. The "Neutrality Act" stipulates that belligerent countries must pay US dollars for supplies to the United States, and they must take care of themselves for transportation.This bill caused more difficulties for Roosevelt than for the British.Britain has a clear and clever way out: make peace with Germany.As the author of this book has often pointed out, if Britain had really negotiated peace, the British Empire would still exist today.The Soviet Union would have been crushed on the front lines, and we would have no threatening Bolsheviks in Russia, or at worst pacifist, disarmed Social Democrats, which did not suit Roosevelt's taste.He did not intend for Germany to control the heartland of Eurasia and enter into an alliance with the British maritime powers for world domination.

So to get around the Neutrality Act, Franklin D. Roosevelt invented Lend-Lease, which was simply a policy to give the British - and later the Russians - all that they had to fight us for free war materiel.The audacity of the ruse is astonishing; the disguise is very cunning.This unprecedented proposal has shocked Congress and tried to block it.The record shows that Roosevelt's Jewish advisers went to great lengths to get it passed by Congress, while also clearly showing that The idea of ​​this revolution arose, in Sherwood's words, directly from Roosevelt's "forest mind." With a few typically Augustan inflammatory words, Roosevelt peddled the plan to the simple-minded, careless American people, using the famous garden hose metaphor. "You certainly don't bargain with a neighbor whose house is on fire to sell or rent him the garden hose he needs to put out the fire," he said at a news conference.You'd gladly lend him the watering hose first before the fire burned down your own house.After the fire dies, the neighbor will return the hose; if it breaks, there will be enough time to settle the bill. Naturally, this is shameless and empty nonsense.Battleships, warplanes, and war materiel are not garden hoses.That is, in the literal sense of Roosevelt's metaphor, if your neighbor's house is on fire, what you're really doing is rushing to fight the fire with him.You don't just lend him your watering hose and sit back and watch him fight the fire.That this kind of nonsense is accepted by all Americans can only show that Roosevelt's method of governing the people is incredible.During his successful 1940 election campaign for an unprecedented third term, he famously declared in a speech: "I tell you again and again and again, your children are Will not be sent to participate in foreign wars." On the one hand, he made such a clear promise, but on the other hand, he was eagerly waiting for the opportunity to break his words.At the same time, he used various intrigues against Germany. The Practical Significance of Lend-Lease He could not--he knew it--put the matter before his people in realistic terms.It would be like telling them, "Friends, this war is not for our own dominion but for the dominion of the world. Our aim should be to gain this dominion with the least bloodshed. Let us encourage others to fight this war for us." Second battle. Let's give them all they need to fight the war. Why should we care? In developing the industries that produce these Lend-Lease supplies, we are also preparing ourselves industrially and militarily for world leadership They're just going to use up all our early samples, supplies we can throw away, and go kill the Germans for us. Maybe they'll do the whole job for us, but I doubt it. Eventually we'll Get involved, but the finishing touches are always easy to do. We can win a world conquest simply by expending large quantities of military supplies that we can produce faster and in larger quantities than all the world put together , feel no difficulty. Let others bleed, and let us rule." That's what Lend-Lease was about, and that's what it did. First the British, and then the Russians, were induced by Lend-Lease to continue an extremely cruel and almost desperate struggle, while at the same time the easier, safer, and more profitable path of peace remained open to them.We have reason to believe that at the trough of Stalin's war at the end of 1941, when his army and air force had virtually ceased to exist as a unified fighting organization and our army was storming Moscow, if it had not been for the American presence in the Encouraged by words and by supply - not by man - the eminent realist would once again propose peace.The fact is that the Russian people, at an unprecedented bloody sacrifice, transferred world hegemony from one Anglo-Saxon power to another. And Franklin Roosevelt handled things so skillfully that the British had to beg for this bloody aid!They were thankful for a chance to fight for Roosevelt.On December 8, 1940, Churchill wrote a very long letter to the President of the United States, which deserves a more prominent place in history than it does now.Churchill once said that he did not become Prime Minister to dismantle the Empire, but this letter did.In this document, Churchill frankly stated that Britain was running out of water in ships, aircraft, supplies and dollars; he asked the president to "find ways" to assist Britain in the common cause.This is what Roosevelt waited impassively in his wheelchair: the British Prime Minister's written confession that the British Empire would be doomed without American aid.Within two weeks he had presented his idea of ​​Lend-Lease to his advisers, and within a month he had brought it to Congress. Empire means domination and enough armed forces to enforce dominion.In Churchill's letter, he admitted that his country and his empire had run out of strength to strengthen the rule and begged for help.Roosevelt immediately agreed.Great Britain may be finished as a great empire, but it's still a country of 40 million people, with an excellent navy and air force, fighting Roosevelt's arch enemy; and it's an excellent island base, right in Europe Off the coast, from where Germany could be attacked in the future.So it's imperative to keep it going. bargaining tactics Despite the hypocritical talk of leases and loans in this bill, the transfer of arms and supplies from the United States throughout the war was a gift.No official accounts were even kept.The President has asked for it, and Congress has given him the power to send as many weapons and war materiel as he pleases, anywhere.If the Congress had known that the Bolshevik state was included in passing this law, it would have tried to thwart it.But at that time the Soviet Union was considered a friend of Hitler.Later, when war broke out on the Eastern Front, Roosevelt provided the Bolsheviks with a flood of supplies without consulting Congress.The Americans complained that the Russians never gave due thanks.The Russian attitude is more realistic.They have shed the blood of nearly eleven million of their own sons and helped the United States reach its present position in the world, and naturally feel that they have paid off their bills for the tanks and planes. Yanks love to haggle. Lend-Lease was a method of warfare in bargaining.For big corporations, and for millions of workers, it means nothing more than a boom in economic prosperity.The cost was painlessly deferred into the future thanks to the issuance of defense bonds.Others actually fight and die. Roosevelt and his advisers had also discussed the risk they were taking that Germany would view Lend-Lease as an act of war—which it was—and formally declare war on the United States.But that's what he's asking for, so he's ready to take the risk.The United States will definitely respond nationwide and fight a militia-style war.Although Adolf Hitler didn't know much about the United States, he did understand this.He did not plan to fight the United States until he solved the Soviet Union, and the plan for fighting the Soviet Union was already ready at this time.Therefore, Germany only said a few nasty words about the "Lend-Lease" and tolerated it, while the "Arsenal of Democracy" provided a large number of weapons and supplies to help the British plutocrats and the Russian Bolsheviks to destroy the Third Reich-this The last bastion in Europe against the tide of Red Slavs. Translator's Note: The rough statistics about this war are mostly approximate values, and the figures about the total number of deaths vary greatly from source to source.It is a fact that the final loss percentage in the United States is very low.We have planned and fought such a war that it will cost as much money and machinery as possible without costing human lives.Von Roon seems to think this shows that Americans lack courage.Wherever we meet the Germans, we have enough courage to beat them.That's all the courage we need.
