Chapter 1352 Who will China support?
1352 Roosevelt wanted Marshall to convince Hu Bin to support them in the United States to control the cities east of Canada, but Marshall disagreed.
"This is a good thing for us in the United States, why do you disagree?" an aide looked at Marshall and asked.
"Then why don't you talk?" Marshall asked back.
"This, you are familiar with Hu Bin!" another staff member said.
"Everyone is not familiar with Hu Bin. Hu Bin is just familiar with money. How much money are you willing to spend to convince Hu Bin? The more money you have, the greater the possibility of convincing Hu Bin. You can do this.
Moreover, Your Excellency the President, I would like to remind you that Britain has hundreds of thousands of troops on the Eastern Front. If there is a conflict, then the matter will be big. So, please think carefully about whether to get this land!" Marshall said to Roosevelt.
"Well, I'll think clearly, then, can you convince your generals to support the cities we get to the Eastern Front?" Roosevelt asked as he looked at Marshall.
"No, I can't convince them! Including myself, from my personal perspective, I don't want to get these lands, and from the perspective of national interests, it doesn't hurt to get them back.
But I can't guarantee that every general thinks like me, just like the people in this conference room. I think many people don't want to make these lands, the same reason!" Marshall immediately shook his head and said.
"Then I will give it back to the British. We in the United States have paid such a great price for this, so I will give it to them like this?" Roosevelt asked unwillingly at Marshall.
"That's your business, we're just responsible for the war!" Marshall said immediately.
"We can take care of the British asking for money as compensation. Our troops have such great casualties. I think it's not too much to ask for compensation from them?" a cabinet official said.
"What's the use of compensation? These lands are more useful to us in the United States!" said an aide looking at the cabinet officials.
"Are you going to provoke a war between us and Britain?" asked another cabinet official.
"The King of England is in our hands, do they dare to fight?" asked an aide.
"You are not doing this by a gentleman. You actually hold the British king hostage. Not to mention others, even if many people on our side know about it, they will oppose this matter!" A cabinet official immediately stood up and pointed at the aide and shouted.
"Okay, okay, don't argue anymore. We are still discussing this matter now!" Roosevelt shouted.
"There is another thing you don't forget. Montgomery has arrived in Chicago. Although he is under control now, Chicago is also Hu Bin's command center. Hu Bin also has troops there, and their troops are still very powerful.
Once we do this, after the UK convinces Hu Bin, Hu Bin may forcefully release Montgomery, and things will be difficult to deal with. Do you want our two countries to fight?" Marshall asked at Roosevelt.
"Of course I don't want it. I just thought that Britain has lost its country and they don't have many people anymore. Why do they still occupy such a large area of land? Damn it!" Roosevelt said.
"There is another problem, Hu Bin probably won't support us!" Marshall said again.
"Why?" Roosevelt heard it and looked at him and asked.
"The British must have given him money. They had frequent contacts before. I think some agreements may have been reached. The British are now very active in China. They definitely hope to convince the people in Yan'an and Chongqing to support them in regaining Canada.
The UK is not without action, nor does it have no national support, so if you want to get these land, you have to take a lot of risks. Once we fight with the UK, I think China will definitely help the UK at that time.
Because Britain has a lot of money, we don’t know where this money is. Therefore, I hope that Your Excellency the President, you must consider it carefully. If there is nothing else, I will go back first. Now the battle is on the Western Front!" Marshall said this and stood up!
"Okay, I will think carefully. I hope good news will come from the Western Front tomorrow morning!" Roosevelt nodded with a smile when he heard this.
After Marshall left, Roosevelt remembered there, and now it depends on who China supports.
If they support them in the United States, they will definitely be able to get this land. If they support Britain, it will be more troublesome. After all, Hu Bin's troops are still in the United States, and they are helping them fight now. They can't offend China and the United Kingdom all at once because of the land.
"Your Excellency the President should not have such an idea. If we get these lands, then once China withdraws its troops, or China sees this, it will reach an agreement with Germany, and then Germany and Japan will attack us again.
Also, the UK will help us attack Germany at that time. If we get into evil with the UK, then how should we fight on the European battlefield in the future?" a cabinet official said.
"Yes, we still have to fight on the European battlefield. If China doesn't fight, we all have to fight because China can negotiate with them, but we can't. Moreover, Germany also regards us as the biggest threat. So far, they have been promoting this!" Another cabinet official said.
"Okay, think about it, but what should I do if Hu Bin wants money? We really take it out for Hu Bin?" Roosevelt heard it, nodded, and asked at them.
He was not so persistent about the land. He really had to take a lot of risks to get those lands. Now it seems that it is a bit unworthy.
"I think we can let them take out this. At that time, we will arrange for people to see the British king and tell him that we have given them the Indian soldiers and armed them. It is a mature army. For such a good thing, they should give us money!" said the cabinet official.
When the others heard this, they nodded. It was true that the Indian prisoners, as long as they were given weapons, they could become an army. Moreover, it was more convenient for the British to command them than other countries. The Indians still believed in the British.
On the front line, Japanese troops were still attacking the 289th Division's position. This time, Japan was preparing to fight to the death, hoping to break through tonight.
"Dadada!" The heavy machine guns on the battlefield have never stopped at all, and no one knows how many bullets have been fired. Anyway, both sides have not considered these things and kept firing. The Japanese want to attack, while the Chinese troops want to suppress them.
"There are tanks, bazooka!"
"Chir, boom!" A soldier had just discovered the Japanese tank. Before he could finish calling, a rocket launcher shot his armor-piercing bomb.
Now the rocket launchers are just staring at the Japanese tanks, and the Japanese cannon throwing bolts have also caused great casualties to the Chinese troops. Because it was thick fog, the soldiers could not find where the Japanese cannon throwing bolts were.
The Japanese also became treacherous. They fired a few shots and changed places. They didn't wait in the same place. They just shot into the trenches, causing great casualties to the troops on the positions.
"Mad, those cannon throwing cannons must be killed!" After several regiment commanders in the command center saw the situation outside, they said anxiously.
"I can't find them, I can't see clearly at all. I throw a cannon barrel and shoot. It's just a moment's matter, and it's hard for us to lock their position!" A US regiment commander also said anxiously!
"Can you send out armored troops to find those cannon throwing guns and kill them!" another American regiment commander asked.
"No, this is too dangerous. I don't know how many Japanese are there. Your troops are shooting, but the Japanese troops have no tendency to decrease. Now they are still charging, which is a completely life-threatening way!" The Chinese regiment commander said.
It has been more than an hour since the Japanese troops charged one after another, putting huge pressure on the troops on the position. If they are not careful, they will be rushed to the position by the Japanese, and the soldiers in the trench behind are constantly replenishing the first trench.
"Shoot, shoot continuously, there are too many Japanese. Be prepared to throw the grenades over to me. Made, hurry up!" the Chinese company commander shouted loudly.
An interpreter next to him shouted loudly about the order the Chinese company commander had just issued. When the American soldiers heard it, they began to adjust the continuous shooting mode, suppressing the front, and many grenades also flew towards the front.
The bang and booming explosion caused many Japanese to explode, some of which were still the corpses of this morning, but now they were blown up. Many timid Japanese were hiding behind the wreckage of the tanks. They could not see the situation ahead clearly, and they ordered the Japanese troops to charge one after another.
"Damn it, now we don't even know how many of our own troops are!" A brigade commander hiding behind a tank looked in front of him, and found that he couldn't see clearly, and other places could not see clearly.
He himself didn't know how many troops he had left in his brigade. The entire command system was completely in chaos. As long as he saw the troops, the Japanese officers would order them to charge.
And Masaki Ida, who was behind, also stared at the front, unable to see anything clearly, but saw a fire that popped up from time to time, and then there was a violent explosion.
