Chapter 1377 Logistics Problems
1377 Hu Bin asked Mo Shi to send a telegram to Okamura Yanji, asking them to send the money to China, and they would send it within 3 days, otherwise they would attack Alaska by themselves. After sending the telegram, Hu Bin would go to rest.
Early the next morning, Hu Bin asked Mo She to send Lishan out and not let them be here. There was no contact. Hu Bin was not worried whether he would give money or not!
As soon as Hu Bin arrived at the command center, he saw Patton and the others busy.
"So busy?" Hu Bin came in and asked with a smile.
When Patton and the others saw Hu Bin coming, they saluted immediately. Hu Bin replied with a greeting and sat down.
"Report, our troops attacking the Western Front are accelerating towards us. They are also obstructed by the enemy at present, but there is no big problem.
Xiang Feng's troops are still advancing very fast now, and on our side, the troops from Alaska, our troops are encircling and suppressing the Japanese retreating troops, we are also stopping the troops!" Patton said to Hu Bin.
"Very good, are you sure to kill them?" Hu Bin sat there, lit a cigarette and asked.
"No problem, the troops below are fighting very well, and we almost don't need to command it. We just need to provide information references and overall situations, we need to control it!" Patton heard it and said to Hu Bin.
MacArthur and Eisenhower heard this and nodded with a smile. In this battle, Hu Bin asked all the American troops to go up, not only improving their commanding capabilities, but also allowing their recruits to get enough training. Therefore, this battle is highly valued for Patton and others.
And for Marshall and Roosevelt, I was very grateful to Hu Bin, because since Hu Bin ordered the troops on the Eastern Front to march to the Western Front, the command was handed over to Patton and others, and asked Patton and others to fight. When necessary, Hu Bin would correct it and make them command more smoothly.
"Commander, when will we attack Alaska?" Patton asked at Hu Bin.
"Well, you guys say, I'll listen!" Hu Bin heard it and asked as he looked at the three of them.
"Commander, now there is a very serious problem!" MacArthur said.
"What's the problem? It's very serious, why don't I know?" Hu Bin heard it and looked at MacArthur.
"We have a very high pressure to transport logistics materials. The trucks in the United States can be collected, but they can only guarantee our daily consumption. It is very difficult to organize a large-scale battle, especially an active attack. We want to ask the commander, but there are no other ways!" MacArthur looked at Hu Bin and asked.
"There is a problem with the logistics? Come find Li Nian!" Hu Bin heard it, thought for a while, and said to the staff officer beside him.
"Yes!" A staff officer heard this and went to look for it immediately!
"Commander, this is not a problem with Staff Li, but a problem with our capacity. Staff Li has already worked very hard to allocate. If we were to allocate, we might not be able to do that well!" Patton said immediately.
"Oh, what is the specific problem?" Hu Bin heard it, thought for a while, and asked again!
"How to say it is not a huge problem, but it will delay our attack on Alaska." MacArthur said.
"That won't work. Not only is it delayed, what are our troops doing here? It's just to fight against Japanese troops in Alaska. Can it be delayed to attack?
If you delay a day, the Japanese troops will successfully retreat tens of thousands. After a long time, we will not have to fight. By then, they will all run away!" Hu Bin heard it and looked at them very seriously and said.
"But, but the transportation capacity we can use has been moved, and we really can't improve it!" MacArthur said in a very embarrassing manner as he looked at Hu Bin.
"Commander, are you looking for me?" Li Nian also came over and said to Hu Bin at this moment.
"I heard that there was something wrong with our logistics. How serious is it?" Hu Bin said to Li Nian.
"Ah?" Li Nian heard it, looked at Hu Bin, pretending to be a little surprised.
"Chief Staff Li, that's right. We reported the logistics situation with the commander. We don't have enough supplies to ensure our attack on Alaska." Patton reminded Li Nian.
"Oh, that's right. All the transportation capacity we can use now has been used, but the commander, the entire Canadian troops are nearly 2.6 million, more than 1 million on our side, more than 800,000 on the east side, and more than 600,000 on the west side.
The consumption of the entire army depends on transportation from the United States, and in the United States, it also has to go through a long route, so now we can only maintain daily consumption. It is very difficult to stockpile materials!" Li Nian heard it and reported to Hu Bin.
"You guys think of a way. In 3 days, I will attack Alaska. I need you to prepare 500,000 troops and supplies for a week!" Hu Bin heard it and started to pretend to be quite dissatisfied.
"Commander, I can't even shoot me. Don't say that the 500,000 troops can be consumed by a week, even if the 50,000 troops can be consumed by a week, I can't even do it!" Li Nian immediately stood very straight, and said to Hu Bin with his head raised.
"What? You can't get 50,000?" Hu Bin heard it, looked at Li Nian, and then looked at MacArthur and the others.
"Commander, we have used all those who can use it. We use planes. There is no airport here yet. We have to rely on cars. When Japan retreated, the railway was blown up a lot. We have no way to transport it. Now we can only rely on cars. Commander, this is indeed a bit embarrassing Chief Li!" Patton pleaded for Li Nian next to him.
"Breasts!" Hu Bin heard this, slapped the table, cursed loudly, showing that he was quite dissatisfied, and then walked inside the command center with his hands behind his back.
The others were lowering their heads. They were the American staff members. They didn't dare to speak loudly at this moment. They knew that Hu Bin was angry and it was a bit difficult to mess with!
"What the hell is going on with you? Now our troops have arrived in Alaska. They actually told me that there is no war and there is not enough materials to maintain our troops' attack. You are, this is!" Hu Bin suddenly stopped, pointed at Patton and the others, looking at him as if he was anxious and could not speak.
"Commander, calm down, calm down, we have really tried our best. Now our Chief of Staff and the President are also very anxious. They are also trying to figure out how to do it!" Patton said to Hu Bin.
"When can I find a way? Are you adjusting me? I brought more than 1 million troops here. What are you doing? I came to travel? I have already reached this point. Now you tell me that there is not enough supplies and I can't fight anymore. Isn't this adjusting me?" Hu Bin shouted to them very angry.
"No, no, it's not just to regulate you. We didn't expect this matter to be so serious. It's because the troops consume too much. Not to mention weapons and ammunition, even food is a huge problem.
Now we still have to fight against the Japanese remnants of Canada, and the ammunition consumed every day is also huge. Now we can only hope to kill the Japanese remnants of Canada soon so that we can have enough time to attack Alaska." Patton explained to Hu Bin.
"How long will it take?" Hu Bin asked at Patton.
"It will take at least half a month before we can clear the large-scale remnants of the troops, and then it will take about 10 days to accumulate our supplies!" MacArthur also reported on the side.
"What else can I fight? More than 20 days have passed, and all the Japanese troops have left. Should we attack Alaska or march to Alaska?" Hu Bin asked looking at them.
When they heard this, they lowered their heads and stopped talking. According to the agreement signed by Hu Bin and them before, the United States should ensure all logistics supplies as soon as possible. Hu Bin is only responsible for allocating these supplies, but now the material transportation is not good, so we can't blame Hu Bin for this.
"Commander, we will continue to react with the General Staff and the President. We are also anxious. As the flesh in our mouths is about to fly, we are not willing to accept it!" Patton said to Hu Bin.
"Okay, okay, you go and communicate with you about this matter. The troops have already arranged the troops, but because of this matter, we can't fight. It's nonsense!" Hu Bin left with his hands behind his back angrily.
"Oh!" Li Nian looked at Hu Bin's back and sighed deliberately.
"Chief Staff Li, sorry, our problem has caused you to be blamed by the commander." MacArthur said to Li Nian.
"It's okay, I didn't expect such a problem to occur. Such a thing is a big blow to the commander. He has always wanted to catch Okamura Nishi. Okamura Nishi escaped from Hu Bin's hands several times, and he was unwilling to accept it.
Now our troops have been pulled away, but as a result, hey, I won’t say anything, I’ll think of a way to go!” Li Nian said this, deliberately waved his hand and said that he wanted to deal with the logistics matters!
"What should I do? Alas!" Patton was also very anxious at this time.
He already knew Hu Bin's offensive plan. He was confident about the attack, but if he had no supplies, he would be so angry that he could not fart. But this is the reality. The United States has tried its best and no one can blame anyone!
"It's a pity that I can't fight!" MacArthur also sighed.
"Not worry about it for now, kill the remaining Canadian troops first. We can't blame us for this matter. We have done a very good job!" Essenhower also spoke.
"Everyone are busy. I'll send a telegram to General Marshall and Lord Roosevelt to explain the situation clearly to them, and hope they will think of another way!" Patton said to them, and then he returned to his office.
