Chapter 1264 Captives

1264 Hu Bin was considering the matter of those prisoners, and he was thinking about what to do. The staff below tended to give the prisoners. Otherwise, bringing them back would not only delay Xiang Feng's troops back, but the United States would not thank him much, and the money he gave was also very little!

"So, come here, send a telegram to Roosevelt and ask what to do with the prisoners in Toronto. There are nearly 200,000 prisoners there, and our troops are less than 100,000. It will take three to five days to bring them back.

For my troops, this adds a lot of danger. I would like to ask President Roosevelt and Chief of Staff of Marshall, how should we deal with these prisoners? Should we release or kill them?

If it is killed, please send troops to execute it. My troops do not implement such orders. If so, we will hold a meeting with Japan!" Hu Bin said to his staff.

"Brother Bin, can they agree? I guess they still want us to bring it back!" A senior staff officer heard it and immediately started to speak to Hu Bin.

"No matter what, I can't bring it back. If there is an accident, who will be the one? Will the United States dare to take this responsibility? There are millions of Japanese troops in the south. If they come here, Xiang Feng's troops will probably not work!" Hu Bin said to the senior staff.

"Okay, I'll send a telegram to see what the United States wants to do!" The staff officer heard this, nodded, and went to send a telegram.

"Brother Bin, do you think the US will agree with us?" Another senior staff officer looked at Hu Bin and asked.

"If you don't agree, you have to agree. Now we are telling him, not asking for their opinions!" Hu Bin said.

"But, the telegram you sent just now seems to be asking for their opinions!" Mo She also started to say.

"Hmph, I asked them to choose, I just asked them to choose, but what's the use of choosing? I want to bring those prisoners back and have the ability to let their troops go over. They want to kill them, and let their troops go over. My troops don't implement them, so I can only do it!" Hu Bin snorted coldly and said to Mo She and others.

When they heard this, they could only nod. Now they didn't know whether what Hu Bin said was OK.

Soon, Roosevelt received a telegram from Hu Bin.

"Well, how can that be done? These are Japanese troops. Once they are released, they can continue to fight. Damn, what did Hu Bin think?" Roosevelt said irritably.

He was indeed very irritable today. He thought MacArthur would support him, but he didn't expect that he would suggest that he would not change to Marshall. He also said that in the United States, no one is more suitable to be the chief of staff than Marshall, which makes him a little difficult to do.

This place has offended Marshall, and there are no troops there to support him. Now MacArthur doesn't support him, and the other commanders probably won't support him either. He regrets it now, and listens to the suggestions of those staff members!

Now that Hu Bin sent such a telegram, it added fuel to the fire.

"How is that possible? Those are enemies, our United States enemies. They have the blood of our Americans in their hands. Now they actually said, is Hu Bin coming to the United States to help us, or to help Japan? How could he have such an idea?" a cabinet official shouted immediately.

They were very dissatisfied with Hu Bin's idea of ​​losing those prisoners.

"Come here, prepare the car. I'm going to the General Staff, damn it!" Roosevelt shouted angrily.

Now he calls Marshall to come over, and he will definitely not come over. He can only go over in person and talk to Marshall. Not only does he talk about this matter, but also what he talks with Marshall here today. He feels a little bad. If he doesn't handle it well, the president may not be able to be regarded as the president.

So, he will handle this matter well today. If all the generals know that he wants to replace Marshall, then the one who replaces it will not be Marshall, but himself. Thinking of this, he can only go to Marshall again.

And on Marshall's side, he also received a telegram and was discussing this matter with the generals.

"What should I do? Hu Bin said, I can't bring it back, and it will probably take several days to bring it back. Japanese troops may follow and kill Hu Bin's troops. Now Hu Bin's troops want to retreat. He said before that we still have hundreds of thousands of troops there. Can we let the troops go over to defend Toronto and look at the prisoners there?" Marshall sat in the conference room and looked at the generals and asked.

"For Toronto? That won't work, it's too dangerous. Toronto is far away from our defense line. Once the Japanese troops want to siege there, our troops will fall into a desperate situation.

Moreover, those prisoners might be rescued by Japan. For those prisoners, we have to take in hundreds of thousands of troops. This is not cost-effective!" An admiral immediately said disagreeingly.

"Yes, the key is that Hu Bin's troops cannot be brought back now. If they can be brought back, they will be put back to Detroit to see. I think there is no problem with our troops, but now Hu Bin's troops cannot be brought back now, and it is not enough to kill them.

Hu Bin's troops rarely kill prisoners. I heard that they have been killed in China, but there are also times. And this time it is a prisoner of 200,000. I guess Hu Bin won't kill him. Can our troops kill him? "Another general said and looked at Marshall and other generals.

"How could it be killed like this? 200,000 soldiers, killing like this, what is the difference between us in the United States and Japan? In fact, after Hu Bin helped us capture many Japanese prisoners on the Western Front, the Japanese captured our soldiers and dared not kill them easily. If they wanted to kill, they would be sneaky!" Another lieutenant general said.

"Then let Hu Bin give the prisoners now? Roosevelt would definitely not agree. He is looking for the commander's handle. If he knows this, he will use it for a while, will the commander be finished?" The other generals all started talking there.

Marshall was touching his head there, worried, and he didn't know what to do. Hu Bin would not take risks. Marshall knew very well that he would not put his troops in danger, but he was not willing to let Hu Bin take those prisoners.

Toronto cannot be defended. It would be impossible for Hu Bin to defend it without the help of Hu Bin's troops. So now he is also thinking about what to do next. Roosevelt doesn't have to think about it. He definitely hopes that Hu Bin will take the prisoners back.

"Damn it!" Marshall cursed irritably, feeling that Hu Bin always asked him those problems, and those problems made his relationship with Roosevelt worse and worse. Now it is on the verge of breaking!

"Commander, we can't control Hu Bin's side. It seems that according to our previous agreement, Hu Bin's profits belong to Hu Bin. In other words, if we want those prisoners, we have to give Hu Bin money. Although we don't get much, we have to give it to him.

Also, even if Hu Bin releases those prisoners, we cannot control it. This is our previous agreement with Hu Bin. It will not work if we do not abide by it!" An admiral said to Marshall.

"Yes, OK, it depends on what Roosevelt is thinking. If he insists on bringing the prisoners back or killing them, then let him find a way. There is nothing we can do about this matter now!" Marshall nodded and said when he heard it.

At this moment, Marshall's secretary came over and said to Marshall, "Roosevelt came over, and the generals heard it and looked at Marshall."

"Let him go to my office and have a break!" Marshall heard it, stood up and said to them.

When they came out, they happened to see Roosevelt bringing several staff members over.

The generals saw it, but didn't say anything, and left directly. They were all generals of the United States. Except for the appointment of the chief of staff and the president, the president could not control the affairs of the troops, including their promotion. Even if Marshall was taken down by Roosevelt as chief of staff, Marshall was still an admiral, and he was still a soldier.

So the generals ignored Roosevelt when they saw him coming because they felt that Roosevelt's neck was stretched a little longer!

When Roosevelt and his aides saw it, they became even more dissatisfied with Marshall. They thought Marshall had said something to the generals, but Roosevelt had deeper concerns because the generals seemed to not believe him anymore, which was not a good sign.

"Please here!" Marshall smiled at Roosevelt, then made a gesture of inviting them to go to their office.

After arriving at Marshall's office, Marshall sat in his seat, as if he was declaring that he was the owner of the office.

"His Excellency President, I don't know what you have to come here to announce my dismissal? If so, please say, I'm ready!" Marshall said to Roosevelt with a smile.

"No, I didn't come for this matter, and I didn't say I would be dismissed. I just wanted to ask, I think you have seen the telegram sent by Hu Bin. What do your troops think about this?" Roosevelt heard it, immediately shook his head, then looked at Marshall and asked.

"We have indeed discussed this matter, but it seems to be very difficult!" Marshall said when he heard it. (To be continued.)
