Chapter 841 Agree!
On November 15, 1941, General MacArthur, who had sworn to the remaining troops on the Bataan Peninsula that he would definitely come back, arrived in Washington.
Because of the government's propaganda and his own personality marketing, MacArthur became a national hero, and his welcome was unprecedented.
Jiangdong stood by the window of the hotel room, looking at the MacArthur motorcade surrounded by people, and said with a smile:
"We are foreigners after all. In less than half a month, the welcome turned into a protest. Look at MacArthur, how beautiful he is. This is the real hero in the hearts of the American people."
Everyone on the side could hear Jiang Dong's teasing, and they all chuckled.
Gu Yongtian said:
"Chief Jiang, after MacArthur comes back, I'm afraid the United States will not agree to the conditions you proposed before."
Gu Yongtian also learned about the relevant content from the newspaper, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Real heroes and marketed heroes are two different things. Don't worry, it will be quite interesting for us to stay and watch MacArthur's performance." Jiangdong said nonchalantly.
MacArthur delivered a passionate speech in front of tens of thousands of Americans. He once again assured the people of the United States that he would fight back.
The applause and cheers lasted for a long time, MacArthur's vanity was greatly satisfied, and his self-confidence continued to expand.
After delivering the public speech, MacArthur went to the White House to meet the president, and the two had a long chat.
MacArthur told the president about his future Asia-Pacific strategy, making wild remarks and making the president stunned.
After the all-American hero gave a public speech and met with the president, he began to raise a high profile and gradually harassed his own team, clamoring to fight back every day.
The people of the Americas are also looking forward to it, looking forward to their heroes beating the shit out of the Japanese.
The voice of MacArthur's passionate speech was still lingering, and bad news came from the Philippines.
The 80,000 U.S.-Philippine coalition forces on the Bataan Peninsula surrendered to less than 20,000 Japanese!
Since the number of prisoners far exceeded the number of Japanese soldiers, the Japanese began to torture the prisoners in various ways!
The Bataan Death March arrives early.
The newspapers are full of bad news every day, and the United States is shrouded in the shadow of failure and fear.
Since the United States has centralized management of Japanese Americans, it has previously accused the Japanese military and government of the inhumane use of poison gas bombs and viruses during the war, which made Japan look disgraced.
The little Japanese who had relatively weak psychological defenses already hated the high-sounding Americans. After capturing 80,000 prisoners, the Japanese began to vent their anger on the prisoners.
The fate of the captives of the U.S.-Philippine coalition forces during the Bataan Death March was even more miserable than in history. Not only did the Japanese not give them food, they also forced these people to work.
Judging from the Americans' own newspapers, one week after the Bataan Death March began, about 15,000 American-Philippine coalition prisoners died on the way.
Some newspaper reporters predicted that after the captives completed the 120-kilometer journey, fewer than 40,000 people would survive.
MacArthur's image began to slowly collapse with the heavy footsteps of the American and Filipino prisoners.
The families of the prisoners published articles in newspapers accusing MacArthur. They wanted their loved ones to return home alive and hoped that the government would negotiate with the Japanese or send a large army to rescue them.
MacArthur hid in despair, while government spokespersons kept calming the people.
The clouds hanging over the Americas have become darker, and people's hearts are colder than the cold wind in Washington in winter.
Jiangdong watched the whole farce, watching MacArthur's character collapse, and murmured:
"If all 80,000 U.S.-Philippine coalition troops die at the hands of the Japanese, even if MacArthur gains the president's trust, he may never have a chance to return to the Asia-Pacific!"
On the Soviet-German battlefield, as cold waves came again and again, the Third Reich's attacks finally stopped.
Moscow is close at hand, but the cold makes it difficult for millions of troops to move.
The armies of the Third Reich encountered their first setback since the war began.
Army Group Center temporarily switches to defense!
Mao Xiong's soldiers are accustomed to the severe cold, especially some troops transferred from the Far East.
The severe cold is not an obstacle to them, but the strongest assistance given by nature to fight back against the invaders.
The loving father sneered. Based on the current situation, he judged that the Third Reich could be defeated without the help of the Chinese.
On November 20, Jiang Dong chatted with a hotel waiter in the room for more than an hour. There was no third person present during this chat, and no one knew what the two parties talked about.
On November 28, the Third Reich army on the Soviet-German battlefield began to adjust its strategic direction.
In view of the enemy's resolute attitude in defending Moscow, Mustache set his sights on Stalingrad on the lower reaches of the Volga River!
The goal of the Third Reich's new attack was to seize food and industrial raw material production areas and the Caucasus oil fields.
Of course, in order to successfully implement this strategy, the Third Reich army must survive this winter.
In Southeast Asia, the Japanese army had entered Burma. The British troops stationed in Burma were vulnerable and lost Rangoon within a week of the war.
Because the Chinese government has not sent an expeditionary force to fight abroad, Great Britain began to worry that they would lose their largest colony in the Far East, India!
On December 1, the four countries held talks again.
This time, the confidence of the United States and Great Britain was much weaker, but the ambassador of the furry bear was still arrogant.
Great Britain and the United States are already planning to accept Jiangdong's three conditions. As long as Mao Xiong expresses his stance, the four countries can sign a comprehensive cooperation agreement.
It's just that the furry bear in the north obviously doesn't want to be disembowelled, and his attitude remains firm.
On December 3, 1941, the United States and Britain issued a joint proclamation.
Recognize the illegality of unequal treaties, recognize the status of China as a suzerainty, and abolish the Chinese Exclusion Act!
What they asked for was that, in addition to stopping the Japanese invasion on the land of China, China would also send an expeditionary force to fight abroad.
First, we must ensure that the Japanese are not allowed to enter India; second, if there is a need in other battlefields (temporarily excluding the Soviet-German battlefield), China will not only provide material support but also send troops for expedition.
(The battlefields that require expedition include but are not limited to the Southeast Asian battlefield, the Pacific battlefield, the North African battlefield and Western Europe.)
The three countries reached an agreement and issued a three-country announcement after the joint announcement by the United States and Britain.
Although Qiuye Begonia is still incomplete, Jiang Dong believes that Lao Maozi cannot hold on for too long.
As soon as the announcement of the Three Kingdoms came out, it caused huge repercussions around the world.
Some newspapers are praising the United States and Britain for being generous and selfless, and sacrificing their own interests for world peace.
The Axis Powers saw the disunity within the Allied Powers and secretly began to seek estrangement.
Later historians believed that the Three Kingdoms Proclamation established the historical direction of the world for the next 50 years.
"With regret and deep sorrow, we have to admit that the Lion of the East has awakened! He will play a pivotal role on the world stage and will always be indispensable!"
The president said this in a telegram sent to Fatty Qiu.
When the news spread back to China, the whole country was excited.
"This day will be the day when the Chinese nation rises!"
Someone shouted excitedly, but someone quickly corrected him:
"Revival not rise!"
Chapter completed!
