Eight Hundred Seventy-Four Points and One Half

Roosevelt really wanted to fly out the stack of documents in his hand, and threw them in that corner, cheaply reminding him that he had forgotten some documents on the face of the officials. Please search (product#书……网)! The fastest-updated novel was an official, his eyes were shining with a murderous light behind the glasses, and the official also knew that the timing of his speech was not right, so he lowered his head and acted like an ostrich.

This cannot be blamed on him at all. He has given Roosevelt the report on the fight against Japanese aggression in the Central War Zone for several days, but the president chose to ignore the report. The Chinese Army has been waiting for supplies for a long time, but Still haven't been able to wait for the materials and equipment they want.

China's special envoy, the wife of the Chinese president who traveled halfway around the world to reach the United States safely, almost cried out when she finished her good words yesterday, which made this American official make up his mind to help China, a friend of the United States in the Far East, at this meeting. busy.

Did Roosevelt forget this request for help from China? Of course he didn't forget. Even a few days ago, when the report first entered the presidential office, he carefully reviewed the contents. Compared with the lion-mouthed allies of the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, China's request appears to be very pragmatic and humble.

This report analyzed in detail the "defeat in the Far East" in which the squadron was defeated on the frontal battlefield and gave up a lot of territory. Among them, the Japanese bombers took the risk of bombing the Chinese industrial zone between Wuhan and Hanyang, which is indeed a stroke of genius. This time, the Japanese army had excellent tactics and unique strategic vision-making China's already fragile industry worse.

Because of this, China hopes that the United States will provide 1 billion rounds of ammunition, as well as 300,000 rifles and 50,000 machine guns as assistance. If possible, the United States is required to provide no less than 00 fighter jets to defend China's wartime capital Chongqing and the arsenal between Wuhan and Hanyang.

Compared with the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, which require dozens of warships and tens of thousands of tanks at every turn, this request can already be regarded as "the conscience of the industry". However, the US government is now liquidating the recent behavior of being taken advantage of by the Roosevelt Group, and Congress is providing assistance to the United States. Everything about the allies is always worth every penny, so China's request for assistance was suppressed by Roosevelt.

The return of the United States on the Pacific battlefield has indeed silenced some isolationists who urged the United States to withdraw from the war. The war can continue, and the United States will never lose the war. Now it has become the consensus of almost all Americans. The crisis of the Roosevelt Group's truce and resignation was resolved, and Nimitz was also portrayed by the Roosevelt Group as an American hero.

But on the contrary, the Soviet Union, the number one ally assisted by the United States, lost in a mess on the frontal battlefield.

Another ally, the United Kingdom, which only opened its mouth to ask for things from the beginning of the war, also suffered a great defeat. Not to mention losing its homeland, that small Iceland is no different from a black hole. The United States transports a large amount of materials out of Hong Kong every day. But I can't get enough of this Pixiu called "Iceland Base".

As a result, some Americans began to reflect. They believed that neither the Soviets nor the British were fighting for the Americans sincerely. Rather than handing over the supplies to these fools who could not win the war, it is better to use them to arm the Americans themselves. These Americans feel that arming millions of American soldiers and sending these soldiers to the battlefield can change the current situation on various battlefields.

The views of these people were supported by officials who were pro-Soviet and pro-British. They advocated that the Americans should expand their military and participate in the war on a larger scale, and personally win this war concerning future international status.

Under the interference of this trend of thought, the amount of materials provided by the United States to support the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and China dropped slightly after several months of continuous growth. The United States recruits 500,000 troops, and everyone is planning where to send the 500,000 to defeat the enemy.

The Soviet-German War is the main battlefield involving the German army at this stage. The supplies there cannot be easily reduced. Once the Soviet Union is defeated, the German army will get rid of the shadow of war and enter the stage of peaceful development earlier than the United States. This is absolutely unacceptable to the United States, so Soviet aid cannot be easily reduced.

Based on this fundamental reason, the corresponding problem of material conservation must be started from the British Iceland base and the Chinese battlefield in the Far East. Roosevelt had no choice but to selectively forget China's request for assistance, and there was nothing he could do about it.

So he had no choice but to open his mouth and slowly summed up the meeting: "The Japanese army in the Chinese theater is no longer able to attack, so let's slow down the aid there. As for the British side, reduce the material transportation by half... do your best." Supplying the Soviet battlefield is the only way to do it now."

"As for the direction of the United States' counterattack in the next stage, it is still set on the Pacific battlefield of the war against Japan!" Marshall stood up, walked to the side of the map, pointed to the Marshall Islands and the Solomon Islands and said: "I suggest that the troops Transport it to Australia, wipe out the Japanese army there, and then attack the Solomon Islands from the side!"

Australia... For Roosevelt, there was another memory that he didn't want to think about. Less than a year earlier, he had used his diplomatic muscle to force the British crown to relinquish Australia, ceding it to northern Britain. Now I have to slap myself again, and snatch it back there quietly.

Using hundreds of thousands of troops to wipe out the Japanese army that had been scattered into groups because of the long front line, and then retake the whole of Australia from the Germans, even though there is no German on the top-it is really a big strategic counteroffensive.

Roosevelt sighed helplessly again, and he found that the number of times he sighed helplessly this year was increasing. If you choose a representative expression for the past presidents of the US government, then the four on Mount Rushmore are obviously "resolute, optimistic and aggressive", and Roosevelt himself is undoubtedly left with only "sigh".

I hope that my persistence has been correct for such a long time; I hope that after a long, long time, I can be understood by Americans. Roosevelt prayed in his heart, then organized his thoughts, and said to Marshall: "I agree with you, first help the British allies, and take back the Australian territories!"

...

While discussing how to stab Japan in the conference room in Washington, USA, Akado was also studying with his staff and Marshal Brauchitsch how to use Turkey as a pawn.

"The plan to transport troops to Turkey is continuing in an orderly manner. Three infantry divisions are ready to go. Although they are not elite, at least 2,000 veterans with combat experience have been mobilized." Talking about military matters, Marshal Brauchitsch He had a better right to speak. After he introduced the progress of the recent plan to transport troops to Turkey, he returned to his seat.

The officials and staff in the conference room generally held completely opposite opinions on Turkey’s use. At this time, the Middle East strategists and several officials who were closer to the Jews said: “We should support Turkey’s southward movement. Many entrepreneurs in our country will find ways to meet their demands. Once we capture the oil-producing regions in the Middle East, victory will follow."

The Jews support the settlement of the Middle East first. Of course, they hope that Germany will take the Middle East first and help them establish the "Jewish State" promised by the head of state. This plan was also proposed by Marshal Rommel of North Africa, and it more or less represented some Italian will.

However, the Germanic industrialists, represented by Marshal Brauchitsch and other local German capitalists, even supported going north from Turkey, surprise attacking the Baku oil fields, and fully occupying the Caucasus. These people immediately clamored and opposed the opinions of the people in front of them: "To get involved in the Middle East is to conquer the world for the Axis powers, and going north to Baku is the strategy of the Third Reich. Are you still an aide of the Third Reich?"

Akado sat on the first seat, with his hands intertwined, as if he was a statue without saying a word. In fact, he thinks that these two opinions are too optimistic. After a little analysis, he knows that Turkey is not as powerful as everyone thinks.

During the First World War, Turkey did ally with Germany. With the support of Germany, it marched millions of troops into the Middle East, but failed to achieve anything and eventually fell to Britain and France. With this ability, it is doomed to be an unrealistic fantasy to expect Turkey to attack the Middle East.

What's more, after World War I, in order to get rid of the oil shortage situation in Germany, the prophet Accado threw out the pie of oil fields in the Middle East. Still the backward Turkey.

On the other hand, let Turkey go north to attack the Soviet Union and provoke the Baku defense zone that has been reinforced by the Soviet Union. The battle situation in Stalingrad is known-the Caucasus, which made the German army grit its teeth, expecting Turkey to gnaw it is nothing more than the legendary gift of a thousand miles away.

What makes Akado feel dumbfounded is that the Turks still feel good about themselves. After falling into the quagmire of war in the Balkan occupied area in the northwest, they even boasted at the Axis diplomatic conference and clearly marked the price of Turkey's participation in the war. Conditions: Turkey sent 1 million troops to help Germany sweep the Middle East and the Caucasus, but Turkey's oil share in these places is half...

At that time, a ridiculous picture appeared in Akado's mind: a little boy with bare hands boasted to two murderers who killed and mutilated the corpses, "I helped you kill the police, but I will share half of the money for robbing the bank!"
