1211 Roosevelt asked Marshall if he could stabilize the first line of defense without using his own troops so that they would not have to pay such a big price. The recruits have not been trained yet and are now sent to the battlefield. It is very cruel for the soldiers and a huge loss for them in the United States.

"I'm afraid this won't work. I think Hu Bin will not agree. Before he marched to us, he made a request to us to cooperate with him in the fight, saying that he would wipe out the Japanese troops on the Eastern Front." Marshall said to Roosevelt.

"Total annihilation?" the other cabinet members heard it and looked at Marshall and asked.

"Yes, that's what he said!" Marshall nodded and said.

"How is it possible? Japan has two or three million troops on the Eastern Front. How can it be completely wiped out? If it is completely wiped out Japanese troops, I think there are not many troops left in the United States. We do not require full wiped out, just repel Japanese troops." A cabinet member said to Marshall.

"Yes, we don't want to wipe out the entire country. As long as we can attack Japanese troops out of the United States," the others nodded when they heard this.

"But Hu Bin made this request, and from our military perspective, if we wipe out the Japanese troops on the Eastern Front, it will be of great benefit to us in the United States.

We can also launch a counterattack in other places. If we are not worthy of fighting together, I think Hu Bin may retreat his troops in anger. Once his troops retreat, we will fall into difficulties again on the Eastern Front, which is a very dangerous thing.

So, I would like to ask you to think carefully about what price we would pay if we did not cooperate with Hu Bin. Now we are on the Eastern Front, between the first and second lines of defense, two cities have been occupied by Japanese troops, and the people inside have suffered heavy losses.

Although we don’t know what the situation is there, there is black smoke everywhere from the city. I think you can think of the consequences. If the entire defense line completely collapses and the Japanese troops are willing to fight street battles on our side, then our entire city will be destroyed and the people inside will be massacred.

Also, the other two places will be attacked by Japan again, so I hope you can think clearly that this matter is very important to us,” Marshall said as he looked at the cabinet members.

Those people heard it and looked at each other.

"Can't our American troops still let Hu Bin command? They are here to help us fight, not to command us fight. We just need to drive Japanese troops out, and there is no need to wipe out them all." A cabinet member said very dissatisfied.

"Yes, just communicate with Hu Bin and let him help us fight the Japanese troops out, without having to wipe out the Japanese troops!" Another cabinet member also sighed.

When Marshall heard this, he sighed in his heart. He knew that it was difficult to convince those members of the cabinet. They had no idea how difficult the front line was. They didn't know that once the entire Japanese troops could not be wiped out, the United States might suffer greater losses in the future, and it would also make Hu Bin dissatisfied. At that time, Hu Bin would not come to help like now, and Hu Bin might ignore it.

"General Marshall, what are your opinions? Tell me too!" Roosevelt asked at Marshall next to him.

"Support Hu Bin, mobilize the old troops in our city, cooperate with Hu Bin's troops to fight, and the recruits should defend the city!" Marshall said.

"What if the veterans lost all their losses?" asked a member of the Inner Renewal.

"If we don't fight, the United States will suffer greater losses in the future. If we want to fight Japanese troops, we will be killed in one go. We cannot let him recover." Marshall said in view of them.

"Damn it!" The people from the cabinet members heard it and cursed.

"General Marshall, you go back and rest first, let's discuss it again. I will tell you what the result is. In addition, you can continue to contact Hu Bin. We need him to come and support us in battle immediately, rather than hiding in a place.

For Hu Bin's troops, our United States paid a huge price. I hope this price is worth it. Of course, Hu Bin's troops were indeed very good on the Western Front before, and this is completely worth it, but I hope it is worth it on the Eastern Front as well!" Roosevelt said to Marshall.

"Yes, I think it's definitely worth it." Marshall nodded and said.

"Okay! I hope so too!" Roosevelt nodded with a smile.

Seeing him like this, Marshall left immediately. After leaving the provisional presidential palace, he sighed.

He knew that the United States must make changes now. If the cabinet members still look at their troops in this way, the soldiers below would definitely have great opinions if they knew about it.

They made such a great sacrifice on the front line, but it seemed that it was not important to those cabinets. In order to be able to defend the defense line, their generals could not sleep at night, but were still regarded as incompetent by the cabinet people.

Such a thing cannot be known to the generals below. If they know, they don’t know what kind of big things will come about.

Soon, Marshall arrived at his command center.

"Have you contacted Hu Bin's troops?" Marshall asked the staff members who were coming to the command center as soon as he entered the command center.

"Not yet, but Japan has drawn a lot of troops to the back. I guess they also know that Hu Bin's troops may have come, but I think they don't know where Hu Bin's troops are.

In addition, just now, our troops retreated, and some places were discovered by Japanese troops. They pursued them, causing considerable casualties to our troops." One of the staff members looked at Marshall and asked.

"How many casualties?" Marshall asked.

"I don't know yet that the troops are still fighting, but most of the troops have successfully retreated to the city. Now the Japanese troops have also followed. The troops that have been caught up with are all relatively long retreats. On the way to retreat, they are caught up by the Japanese troops!" The staff officer said again.

Marshall heard it, nodded, and then went to the command hall. Marshall stood in front of the huge sand table, watching the latest situation inside.

"Damn it, why can't Hu Bin tell us where his troops are? This makes our troops too passive!" Marshall cursed with some dissatisfaction at this time. Now he urgently needs to know where Hu Bin's troops are.

"Commander, I have a guess. Hu Bin's troops are not coming, right?" a staff officer said.

"Impossible, their troops have set off, and we have contacted each other before! There is no news these days!" Marshall shook his head and said.

"But why did they not send us telegrams at critical moments and tell us where their troops are?" another staff officer asked.

"Maybe he has his concerns, but his troops must have come. This is certain. China has given him an order, and he dare not not come." Marshall said looking at the map.

At this time, on Hu Bin's side, they had just finished their meal. Hu Bin lay in the warehouse, covered his quilt on his body, leaned against the wooden strong, and there was a fire next to it. The other staff members had already begun to prepare for a rest, while Hu Bin looked at the latest marked combat map.

"Brother Bin!" Huang Wenjin lit a cigarette and handed it to Hu Bin.

Hu Bin took it, took a sip, and said to Huang Wenjin: "Tomorrow, after conquering Chicago, the troops will be divided into two groups, and continue to attack the east, attack Gary City, and attack the north, attack Milwaukee and Madison.

However, I guess the devils from Milwaukee and Madison knew that after we attacked Chicago's troops, they would definitely come south to support them and fight an encounter.

Wen Jin, you bring your army and I will mobilize two infantry divisions for you to attack Milwaukee. The troops on my side must be prepared to attack Gary, and then reinforce troops from other places, we must also defend.

Tomorrow one day, there are only these four places, and there are about 200,000 Japanese devils in these four places, of which more than 70,000 are Chicago, and there are three places left and there are not many troops.

In these four cities, judging from the previous reports from the United States, I estimate that there are about 150,000 American troops, all veteran troops. I think that when the time comes, let them help us defend the north, your troops come and gather with us, and prepare to continue to fight to the east!" Hu Bin pointed to the map and said in a low voice to Huang Wenjin.

"Yes! But Brother Bin, do you mean to cut off the Japanese's retreat in half? Is this a bit unrealistic? There are so many troops on the Japanese? We are very dangerous to fight like this!" Huang Wenjin looked at Hu Bin and asked.

"Why should I cut him off? I want to make such a situation, so that Okamura Niji thinks I will do this, so that his troops will attack us from both sides. At that time, our troops will retreat and Xiang Feng's troops will move. Do you know?" Hu Bin explained to Huang Wenjin.

"Oh, if that's the case, that's fine, but Brother Bin, what should we do if we fight and retreat? Can they agree?" Huang Wenjin asked at Hu Bin.

"What can I agree with? His soldiers are still in the city. At least our troops have eliminated many Japanese devils. He doesn't agree, but I don't agree!" Hu Bin heard it, smiled with a cigarette in his mouth and said. (To be continued.)
