Chapter 828 Key Issues
Roosevelt was very worried about the battle situation on the Canadian front at this time. Now the British government is also in the United States. Britain has been completely occupied by Germany. Germany is still sorting out its troops and it is estimated that it will send troops to attack the Soviet Union soon.
However, Stalin of the Soviet Union did not believe that Germany would attack the Soviet Union so quickly. He knew that Germany would attack the Soviet Union, but he did not believe that Germany would attack the Soviet Union so quickly. Therefore, the United States sent a large number of personnel to convince Stalin, but it was useless. Stalin just did not send troops to attack the Japanese troops in the Far East.
If the Soviet Union launched an attack at this time, without the restraint of German troops, the Japanese troops would not be able to stop it at all. At that time, the path of Japan's attack on the United States through the Bering Strait will be blocked. The logistics supplies that Japanese troops cannot obtain will soon be driven out of the American continent.
But the Soviet Union just refused. They have now signed an agreement with Germany to not attack each other and a agreement with Japan!
Therefore, Stalin believed that the Soviet Union was quite safe now and he did not want to let the Soviet Union fall into the quagmire of war. Another big problem was that the outstanding senior commander of the Soviet Union had almost been killed by Stalin. Now he wanted to form an attack corps and found that there were not enough generals.
Therefore, Stalin is no longer attacking those generals at home, and he is also worried that Germany may attack. However, he still hopes that Germany will give him more time so that he can also discover more excellent generals.
"His Excellency the President, we should not consider the Soviet Union now. Let's try to convince Yan'an and let them start attacking the Japanese troops in the northeast of their country!
Now that the Japanese troops that can attack Northeast China are able to do it, the Yan'an troops can do it. The Chongqing troops are now unable to get through. The places along the way are controlled by Yan'an. Chongqing even wants to fight, but there is no way to send troops there!" A think tank looked at Roosevelt and suggested.
"Yes, I think so too. The only Japanese troops that can attack the Far East now are Yan'an, and Yan'an also has this strength. They now have their own planes and tanks. With their large population in China, I think it is not difficult for Yan'an to form millions of troops!" A general from the General Staff also nodded and said.
"But now we want Chinese troops to attack Southeast Asia and India. I think Southeast Asia must be attacked by Chongqing troops, and India must be attacked by Yan'an troops, that is, Hu Bin's troops.
According to what I know, Yan'an is very poor and wants to fight on two fronts. And it is still a large-scale battle with such a long supply line. I feel that Yan'an may not be able to bear it!" Another general said.
"India doesn't need to fight, or in other words, there is no need to rush to fight. As long as they solve the Japanese troops in the Far East, it will greatly reduce the pressure on our United States!" said the think tank who started to propose.
"But you have to know that the Japanese in India are also a great threat to China. Once the Japanese troops recruit a large number of troops in India, they will launch an attack directly from the northwest of China, and they will threaten the security of Yan'an.
You said, should Yan'an first print the Japanese troops, or to attack the Japanese troops in the Far East first? If we are the top leaders in Yan'an, we will definitely solve the Japanese troops in India first. If the troops in the Far East cannot be defeated, they can still drag them!" The general who opposed the opposition continued to refute.
"Okay, don't say it now. Nothing you said can fundamentally solve the problem!" Roosevelt suddenly said.
Those people heard it and looked at Roosevelt, not knowing that he had any insights that could fundamentally solve these problems.
"The key now is not whether China attacks the Japanese troops in the Northeast, or the Japanese troops in the print level. The key is whether China will follow our suggestions. We have to convince them to fight Japan with us. If China solves the Japanese troops in India and then solves the Japanese troops in Northeast China, it will no longer continue to attack Japan's troops. What should we do if we in the United States?
This is the key. As long as China is willing to help us fight Japan, then we will stabilize Canada's defense line and it will be a matter of time before defeating Japan. But don't forget that Japan's problem has been solved, and we still have a huge problem to solve, that is, Germany.
This is difficult to solve. The combat effectiveness of the German troops is much stronger than that of the Japanese troops. So, the key now is that we, the United States, have to convince China and let China fight fascism together with our United States!" Roosevelt expressed his opinion.
What they have now proposed to let China fight here and there is no use at all. China will not listen to the United States. Now China must first consider the interests of its own country. The interests of the United States are not within China's consideration.
When the think tanks and generals heard this, they all became silent. They also agreed that what Roosevelt said just now was right!
"We invite Commander Jiang from Chongqing to visit us in the United States! This may have a chance!" Marshall suddenly said.
"What we want now is to cooperate with Yan'an. Of course, we also need to cooperate with Chongqing, but it is not that important!" a think tank retorted.
"Wrong, Chongqing is also very important. No matter what, Chongqing is the legal government of China. Yan'an still has to listen to Chongqing in name. Only by first inviting Commander Jiang from Chongqing to the United States can we continue to invite Commander Mao from Yan'an to the United States.
At the same time, Commander Chiang's troops can directly attack Southeast Asia. You also know that most of the people fighting in Canada are Southeast Asia's soldiers, not their local Japanese soldiers. If Commander Chiang can quickly conquer Southeast Asia, then there will be not so many Japanese troops.
Of course, Hu Bin also needs to be able to conquer India, but now the two commanders and two forces in China are equally important to us in the United States!” Marshall retorted at the think tank.
"General Marshall is right. They are equally important. And I must first invite Commander Chiang, then ask Commander Chiang's opinions and invite Commander Mao. Otherwise, as long as one of them is dissatisfied with our American behavior, there will be problems with us!" Roosevelt nodded and said, agreeing with Marshall's view.
"Now wait for the specific news from Myanmar to come. Once the news is true, I think we still need Stilwell and Jensen to invite Commander Chiang to come to the United States!" Marshall said.
At this time, in Chongqing, China, Commander Jiang was also convening a meeting of generals. They also received news that Japanese troops in Naipido were defeated. Now the Japanese troops in Myanmar and the Japanese troops fighting with Wei Lihuang are retreating. Wei Lihuang's troops are pursuing Japanese retreat troops.
"What's going on? Why didn't Huishan send this news? We still obtained this news through the intelligence department. The telegram I just sent to Huishan has been almost half an hour, and he hasn't come back to us yet!" Jiang Tongshuai was a little dissatisfied with Wei Lihuang's concealment of the actual situation on the front line this time.
However, he was not satisfied with Wei Lihuang's command and combat in Southeast Asia.
"It's very strange. We have obtained the exact news. Japan is indeed retreating. We also know that Commander's troops are pursuing now, so why is there no telegram coming?" Li Zongren was also puzzled at this time. Wei Lihuang could not miss such important news, and he would definitely report to the Command and General Staff.
Commander Jiang hadn't said anything before, and even Jiang Dingwen didn't send a telegram. Generally, if any major moves are made by the troops, Jiang Dingwen would definitely send a telegram to himself, but now there is nothing, which makes Commander Jiang very strange.
However, Commander Jiang could not say it. Once he said it, wouldn’t he just tell everyone that he was still a little worried about Wei Lihuang? Did he send Jiang Dingwen there to be a military supervisor?
"Commander, why don't we continue to send telegrams to ask what's going on? We were all worried about their safety before. Suddenly, the situation changed immediately, and the Japanese troops were retreating. And they didn't report such an important situation!" He Yingqin looked at the Commander and proposed.
"I have sent a telegram, but I haven't come back yet. I think I might come back later!" said Jiang Tongshu.
"I won't come back!" At this time, Sun Liren, who was sitting at the back, spoke.
"Haha, Fumin, it's you again. Tell me, what are your opinions?" After hearing Sun Liren's words, Commander Jiang burst into laughter.
Sun Liren had just been transferred to the General Staff. His suggestions were correct these times, which made Commander Jiang very satisfied. Therefore, Commander Jiang was very interested in what Sun Liren said.
"Yes, Commander, according to my speculation, Commander Wei did not deliberately not report it, but could not report it!" Sun Liren stood up and said.
"Can't report it? Why can't it be reported? This situation is good news! It's not that you have lost the battle, you have to hide it from me?" Jiang Tongshuai was very confused when he heard him say this.
The other generals also looked at him, not knowing what it means.
"Dear generals, think about it, Okamura Yanji was defeated, what should Hu Bin do? Or, what should we do here?" Sun Liren looked at the generals and asked.
"Then it goes without saying that of course it's a fight. Chasing the Japanese troops to fight quickly, and quickly deal with the Thai devils, etc., it's wrong, it's wrong!" He Yingqin heard it and immediately started talking, but as he spoke, he immediately found out that something was wrong.
