Due to the time difference, it was the second day when the National Government learned the news.

After listening to Zhang Zhizhong's report, Principal Chang couldn't believe his eyes.

"Wen Bai, what did you say?" President Chang said in a lost voice, "The Japanese army attacked Hawaii? The US Navy's Pacific Fleet was completely destroyed, and the island of Hawaii was also trapped by the Japanese army?"

"Yes." Zhang Zhizhong said, "and Japan and the United States have declared war on each other."

After a pause, Zhang Zhizhong said: "In addition, Germany and Italy have also declared war on the United States, and Britain has officially declared war on Japan. Now the world situation is gradually becoming clear."

"Declare war, declare war immediately!" A flushed ejaculation surged on Principal Chang's face, and he waved his hand and shouted, "Declare war on Japan immediately!"

"Yes." Zhang Zhizhong responded with reverence, but his heart was full of complaints. He should have declared war on Japan long ago, but he has been dragged to this day. This matter is really not glorious.

Zhang Zhizhong said again: "In addition, the Japanese army has officially entered the Shanghai Public Concession and the French Concession. The British army in Hong Kong have just surrendered to the Japanese army. Neither the British army in Shanghai nor the British army in Hong Kong have even resisted."

"These wastes." President Chang said incredibly astonished, "You surrender directly without resisting?"

At this moment, Dai Li, the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, walked in with a serious expression, bowed slightly and reported: "Principal, the Technical Department has just deciphered a telegram from the Japanese army, and there is a major military situation!"

Principal Chang frowned and asked, "What military information is there?"

Dai Li replied: "The Japanese base camp has just ordered the formation of the Southern Army and is about to send troops to Southeast Asia!"

"Ah? The Japanese army really want to send troops to Southeast Asia?" Principal Chang's face changed drastically when he heard this, and his intestines turned blue.

At the beginning, Zhong Yi warned that he would prepare for the future and prepare for the Japanese army to send troops to Southeast Asia in advance. To be honest, Principal Chang disagreed with this. He felt that Japan did not have the ability, nor did he have the courage.

Because Southeast Asia is the sphere of influence between the United States and Britain, and the troops stationed by the United States and Britain.

According to reliable information, the Philippines has 70,000 US troops stationed, and Malaysia has more than 100,000 British troops stationed!

The United States is a big country, while the United Kingdom is even a superpower. The combat effectiveness of the US and British troops is not comparable to that of their national troops. The Japanese army should not dare to provoke them easily.

Other senior generals such as He Yingpei, Chen Shi, and Xu Yongsheng also think so.

As a result, the Japanese army not only dared to send troops to Southeast Asia, but also occupied the public concession and Hong Kong in Shanghai without any blood. They even attacked Pearl Harbor and wiped out the US Navy's Pacific Fleet in one fell swoop!

This is a big trouble for China. President Chang said: "Immediately notify the officials of the various departments of the Military Commission and the General Staff to come to the Huangshan official residence for a meeting."

Zhang Zhizhong agreed to convey the order.

...

It was already late in Washington at this time.

Roosevelt had just made a two-hour cross-border phone call with British Prime Minister Churchill. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his secretary pushed him into the small conference room.

In the small conference room, more than a dozen military and political officials, including Secretary of State Hull and Chief of the Army General Staff Marshall, were already waiting for him.

Seeing Roosevelt come in, more than a dozen military and political officials stood up to pay tribute.

Roosevelt led the United States out of the Great Depression, and his prestige was unparalleled. It is no exaggeration to say that he was the highest prestigious president of the United States for more than 200 years since its founding, and no one! Otherwise, he would not have been able to break through the obstacles of the US Constitution and be re-elected for four terms!

"Gentlemen, don't say useless nonsense, get to the point." Roosevelt's eyes first fell on the face of the Chief of Staff Stark, and asked in a deep voice, "General Sketa, how is the situation in Hawaii?"

Although he has officially declared war on Japan through radio, and he also knows that Pearl Harbor must have suffered heavy losses, Roosevelt doesn't know how heavy the losses are in similar bodies.

The eyes of more than a dozen military and political officials attending the meeting turned to Stark.

Stark took a breath and said in a deep voice: "His Excellency President, the situation in Hawaii is much worse than expected!"

"Stuck, don't be scruples. America is a great country. There is no pain in this world that America cannot bear!" Roosevelt said in a gentle tone, "So please speak out boldly."

"Yes." Stark responded and continued, "Two hours ago, Fubu, the last barracks of the island of Hawaii, gave up resistance, and a platoon of the Marines who were defending the barracks surrendered to the Japanese army. At this point, all the garrisons on the island have laid down their weapons, that is, the island of Hawaii has completely fallen."

"As expected," said Roosevelt. "I learned that the Japanese army dispatched airborne troops and a large number of transport ships, and I knew that the fall of Hawaii's island was probably inevitable."

He paused for a moment and then asked, "Where is the Pacific Fleet?"

Stark sighed and replied: "Four aircraft carriers including Enterprise, York City, Bumblebee, and eight battleships including Nevada and Arisauna, as well as dozens of cruisers anchored in Pearl Harbor, destroyers and submarines were all sunk, and none of them survived."

"Farke!" Hearing this, Roosevelt couldn't help but swear.

This loss is really too great. Even if the United States has great achievements, it cannot bear such losses.

After a while, Roosevelt regained his emotions and then asked, "Where are the oil depots on the island and the grain depots?"

Stark sighed again and said, "The Japanese Marine Corps' airborne and directly dispatched the army to seize the island, which was completely beyond our expectations. We had never expected it before, so... we failed to destroy the island's grain and oil depot in time. The 4.7 million tons of heavy oil and 2 million tons of grain stored on the island have been completely accepted by the Japanese army!"

"Excuse me!" Roosevelt swears again after hearing this, which is another heavy blow to the United States!

However, before Stark finished speaking, he continued after half a second: "In addition, factories on the island, including the dock repair shop, have been basically completely accepted by the Japanese army. That is to say, once the Japanese army salvages the warships in the sunken port, it is possible to repair and put them into use."

"Oh Tfark?" Roosevelt shouted with a dark face, "Didn't it mean that the Japanese might be driving the Arisauna, Nevada, and even York City, and Bumblebee came to attack us?"
