Chapter 1315 We have no choice
1315 Patton was very anxious. He was worried that there would be any mistakes on the Western Front and that the United States would be in trouble by then, so he wanted to persuade Hu Bin to transfer all his troops!
"There is no problem on the Western Front. Japanese troops have arrived at Salt Lake City at most. Salt Lake City has been hit once and there has not been time to build it yet, so there is nothing wrong with this place being attacked again. There are not many troops there and there are not many people. Besides, whether I can arrive at Salt Lake City depends on whether I can let them come here!" Hu Bin said with a smile at Patton.
"Commander, I think this may not be the final word. Japan has 2 million troops there, and we may not be able to defend it at that time!" Patton said anxiously.
"Then I ask you, how many troops are there? Why can't I defend it? I have 300,000 troops there. In addition, the one who has been transferred this time is 400,000 troops there. You have 400,000 troops there. This time, more than 200,000 troops have been transferred, and more than 1 million troops will be transferred,
There are more than 1 million troops to defend, and you still have new recruits behind you, so why can't you defend it? It is impossible for Japan's 2 million troops to be all involved in the attack. We have been operating the defense line for so long and there are also mobile troops, so why can't you defend it? Why can't we defend the front line?
Mobilize the troops from our side to go over, and the total number is more than 2 million units, and we go to defend?" Hu Bin asked at Patton.
"But, isn't it okay for us to attack there? Why don't you keep your eyes on the Eastern Front? The Japanese troops on the Eastern Front will not launch an attack. After we fight on the Western Front, we can go to the Eastern Front again!" Patton looked at Hu Bin and said, and his translator also translated his words to Hu Bin.
"Ha, I'm running around!" Patton said with a smile when he heard this.
"What? Commander, I don't think it's right for you to speak like this. You are disregarding the people on our Western Front. You are the commander of the coalition forces. You should protect our people!" When Patton heard Hu Bin say this, he immediately stood up and shouted loudly at Hu Bin. When the generals outside heard it, they all looked here.
"I don't need to care about those people. I just care about war. It's your business to take care of the people. I'm here to be the commander, not to defend. He, Okamura Yasuji, beat him, I'm going to beat mine, and I'm going to decide how to fight!" Hu Bin also stood up and said to Patton.
"You, you, I want to complain to you like the President and the Chief of Staff!" When Patton heard Hu Bin say this, he was quite anxious and went out immediately.
When Hu Bin saw him go out, he shook his head, sighed, and sat down.
Soon, Roosevelt and Marshall received a telegram from Patton. Now they know that Japan might launch an attack on the Western Front, and Hu Bin's main force is on the Eastern Front, and the United States' main force is also on the Eastern Front.
"Damn it!" Roosevelt cursed when he saw Patton's telegram. Now he didn't know what to say. He advised Hu Bin to go to the western front, which may not work, because Hu Bin definitely didn't have this intention.
Otherwise Patton would not have sent a telegram to come here, but he would not persuade Hu Bin to go to the Western Front. By then, the Western Front will be lost, and the entire Western Front city will be bombed by Japan, and the people there will be disaster.
"What should I do now?" Roosevelt asked as he looked at his aide.
"His Excellency President, I think it's best to invite General Marshall to come here!" an aide said to Roosevelt.
"Well, come here, go and invite General Marshall to come!" Roosevelt said.
"Yes!" The secretary heard it and prepared to go out.
At this time, another secretary came in and said to Roosevelt: "General Marshall just called and he came here immediately!"
"Okay, then there's no need to fight!" Roosevelt heard it, nodded, and said to the secretary starting.
"Yes!" the secretary nodded.
"What does Hu Bin mean? He also said that he doesn't care about our American people, he just cares about war. What does this sentence mean? We invite him to fight with the purpose of protecting our American people, not ignoring the people!" Roosevelt asked as he looked at the staff,
When the staff heard this, they didn't say anything, they just looked at each other. They didn't know what to say now, and they still didn't understand Hu Bin, and they didn't know what Hu Bin's purpose was!
"Tell me, there is nothing to be afraid of!" Roosevelt said to them.
"Your Excellency President, we are not good at guessing. Hu Bin is not our general after all. And this is related to two countries, so now we still have to figure out what Hu Bin means best. If we have a quarrel with him now, it will be unfavorable to us in the United States.
Now that our troops are all in his hands, we can't transfer those troops back, so what should we do if the agreement is done? How can we ask them to help us fight in the future?" a cabinet official said.
"Why can't we be transferred back? These troops are not Hu Bin's troops, but our American troops. We have the right to transfer back. If he doesn't help us defend the Western Front, can't we just keep it ourselves?" A Roosevelt's aide retorted.
"I don't think so. If this happens, we will be untrustworthy. Hu Bin will not cooperate with us in the future. Now what we need to figure out is not the attack problem of Japan, but whether Hu Bin can defend it. As long as he can ensure that there is no problem on our Western Front, then these are not a problem. When fighting on the front line, their generals understand the best!" Another cabinet official said.
"General Patton is not sure. If he is sure, he will send this telegram back?" Another aide looked at him and asked.
"Let's wait for General Marshall to come over. I think it's best to hear General Marshall's opinions!" The other cabinet officials immediately said,
It’s not that they don’t want to call out Hu Bin’s troops, but that they hope that the Western Front can be defended. If it is handed over to Patton to guard, their cabinet officials will not believe that they can defend.
Because if Hu Bin hadn't been before, he would have almost lost his life. Now Hu Bin is leading millions of troops to attack the Japanese troops. At this time, Hu Bin doesn't care about the western front, and they don't know what to say.
But one thing they believe is that it is better to let Hu Bin command war than to let Patton command war. Patton will definitely fail there, so Hu Bin will not be able to lose there, so what they mean is that they hope to find out whether Hu Bin can do it. If so, even if Hu Bin is confident of killing some Japanese troops, they would rather believe Hu Bin.
At this time, Roosevelt, who was sitting on the top, saw the performance of the cabinet officials and immediately thought that those cabinet officials now support Hu Bin, or rather, they support Marshall! He couldn't help but be alert. This was not a good thing for him.
He chose these cabinet officials. Now those people actually support Marshall, so his position will be very troublesome. Therefore, when Roosevelt saw this situation, he did not speak, but was waiting there, waiting for Marshall, wanting to hear how he would explain this matter!
Soon, Marshall came over and said hello to Roosevelt, Roosevelt asked him to tell him what he thought of the telegram sent by Patton.
"I read the telegram and I thought about it too. I believe Hu Bin can handle it well. Hu Bin said before that we cannot interfere with his command. We cannot interfere with the entire plan to attack Japan. There is an agreement.
Moreover, Hu Bin has dispatched the most powerful first army to go, which shows that he is paying attention to the war on the Western Front. I believe there will be no major problems on the Western Front.
In addition, before I came, I also sent a telegram to Patton. I asked him what Hu Bin said. Patton also said that the Japanese troops could go to Salt Lake City at most.
So, don't worry, since Hu Bin said that, he must be sure. Now that we let him take our American troops to fight, we must believe him, and we can only believe him now!" Marshall stood there and spoke.
"You make us believe him so much, General Marshall. There are 2 million Japanese troops on the Western Front, and the defensive troops there, plus the troops sent by Hu Bin, are only 1 million. There are about 1 million Japanese troops on the Eastern Front. Hu Bin has arranged more than 2 million troops here. What's going on? Will normal military operations be deployed like this?" An aide immediately questioned Marshall. Roosevelt heard it and looked at him!
"Yes! Concentrate superior forces and annihilate the enemy!" Marshall nodded and said.
"What? Then, what do you mean is that Japan also considers the same on the Western Front. We are not adding troops there yet? Let the Japanese troops gather and annihilate our troops?" the staff member said.
"You don't understand military affairs, I don't want to fight with you. President, I believe in Hu Bin!" Marshall did not answer the aide's words, but said to Roosevelt.
"Why trust him?" Roosevelt asked as he looked at Marshall.
"No one can do better than him! We send any general there, and we may be defeated, and Hu Bin is defeated at most. At least, the Japanese on the Eastern Front will be annihilated. At that time, Hu Bin's troops will continue to advance westward, so now we can only believe in Hu Bin!" Marshall said at Roosevelt.
"Damn it, let's hand over the security of a country to a foreigner, do you still trust him so much?" Roosevelt said very dissatisfiedly when he heard this.
"We have no choice, this is our only chance!" Marshall also looked at Roosevelt and said! (~^~)
