How could a man like Roosevelt not be able to figure out the real reason for Churchill’s sudden change of attitude? [Fly]

When the Chinese Expeditionary Force entered Southeast Asia, the British government and the cadet army made many transactions, and these transactions more or less had the shadow of the U.S. government. At that time, Roosevelt still felt strange and did not understand why the always proud and arrogant British could

He suddenly changed his temper and tolerated the cadet army without any principles to do whatever they wanted within their traditional sphere of influence. The United States was once one of the British colonies, so Roosevelt knew the nature of the British very well. The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets regarded colonies as taboo.

, he did not think that the influence of the United States could make the British give up this insistence. After discussing with Marshall, Knox and other military leaders, he understood the mystery and knew that the British were really forced into a desperate situation in Asia.

Therefore, he had to lower his status and make a deal with the Xuebing Army. Now Churchill's attitude suddenly became unprecedentedly tough. The mystery behind this is actually not difficult to see through. In the final analysis, it is that the Japanese army changed the direction of attack. Burma and India seemed to suddenly

Became safe.

Understanding this, Roosevelt sighed - the British were so short-sighted that they dared to abandon their allies and do double-dealing things for the sake of a small profit in front of them. Don't they know that if Australia falls, the Japanese army will

If they attack Burma and India again, what will the British use to hold on?

There is a gap only when there is comparison. Compared with Churchill, Ouyang Yun's performance just now was perfect. Of course, this was based on his age group. Roosevelt actually hoped that Ouyang Yun could behave more childishly, even if he showed a slight weakness.

It was in line with the interests of the United States, but Churchill's "self-righteous" and "selfish" performance made him increasingly realize that the British could not be counted on in Asia, so he still suppressed some complex ideas based on the national level and admitted that Ouyang Yun passed

tested.

Churchill's attitude was too tough. Roosevelt realized that words alone could not make him change his mind, so he changed the subject and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, if Germany seeks to land on the British Peninsula? Will your government withdraw to India? Or, in the East, too?"

A good choice?”

This was a topic that made Churchill extremely discouraged. His momentum was immediately dampened. He took two puffs of his cigar and said: "We will never give up our homeland -" At this point, he noticed the smile flowing from the corner of Roosevelt's mouth.

With a smile, knowing that there was no way to fool the Americans on this matter, he decided that it would be better to tell the truth, so he changed his tone and said: "Mr. President, Nazi Germany's 'V2 rocket' is too evil, our troops are still

Some industrial facilities suffered heavy losses due to the indiscriminate bombing by the Germans. Our cabinet once discussed it and felt that rather than being passively attacked at home, it would be better to move the military industrial facilities to a safe place as soon as possible, so as to preserve a little bit of Britain.

Vitality can also reduce the demand for your country's supplies. Of course, if your army can join the war as soon as possible, I believe it can defend the homeland."

In Europe now, all other countries and regions except the United Kingdom have been surrendered by Germany. The United Kingdom is able to support itself. On the one hand, it benefits from the natural chasm of the English Channel and its powerful navy. And because of the support of the United States, the British Air Force can defend

The airspace of the British Peninsula protects the military industry in the rear and gives the British team the material guarantee to persist. However, with the advent of the "V2 rocket", Britain's air superiority no longer exists, and military industrial facilities are no longer safe, and even

The army did not dare to stay in one place forever, so many people in Churchill's cabinet proposed to use the powerful navy to move these industrial facilities, imitate the French in fighting the German army in the colonies, and accumulate strength to wait for the counterattack.

Churchill's cabinet had very different attitudes toward the cadet army. The shift of the Japanese attack direction to Australia was a factor. The most critical factor was that once the British government moved to Asia, they urgently needed to have absolute control over India and Burma.

The British government hoped that the U.S. military would directly participate in the European war. This was not the first time that Churchill appealed to Roosevelt. However, just like the previous times, Roosevelt still refused by saying that "the U.S. military is not ready yet."

Is the U.S. military really not ready? This is of course an excuse. As for the navy, although the Pacific Fleet and the Way Island submarine force are all exhausted, the Americans still have the Atlantic Fleet, and the U.S. war machine operating at full capacity is very

Terrifying. In terms of shipbuilding capacity alone, its shipbuilding capacity is equivalent to five times that of Japan. In other words, when Japan has launched one aircraft carrier, the United States has already launched five. This is still under the control of resources of both the United States and Japan.

As for the army, as early as the beginning of the European war, the United States was expanding the National Guard. After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, the enthusiasm of American youths to join the military was unprecedentedly high. Now the US military has no shortage of soldiers at all.

The reason why the US military has not joined the European battlefield is that the objective factor is that the recruits have not completed a series of training, and the subjective factor is that many people in the United States still hope to join the battlefield when all countries are exhausted, as they did during World War I.

, reap the maximum benefit at the minimum cost.

Churchill's expression suddenly became lonely. He thought for a while and said: "Then Mr. President, we can only prepare to withdraw from the British Peninsula. It is impossible for the United Kingdom to surrender, but we now have no ability to persist in fighting on the mainland." After saying this,

As he spoke, his expression became more depressed, and he habitually put his left hand into his arms to take out his pocket watch to check the time. "Hey! Where is my watch?" He suddenly exclaimed. Then he stood up and turned around to look for it on the sofa.

Ouyang Yun was talking about the war in Asia with Faruk, Stilwell, Wavell and other British and American officers at this time. His face exuded strong confidence. When he talked about the US Philippine Department, he even said to Stilwell with confidence:

"General Guo Kui is a fierce general in our student army. Under his training, the combat effectiveness of your Philippine troops will definitely make a qualitative leap - what? You question our training methods? No, no, student army

The training method is the most advanced, otherwise how can we explain that we were able to rescue your country's officers and soldiers from the Cavite prisoner of war camp with tens of thousands of elite Japanese troops - Farouk, what are you doing?" Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and pinched his right hand.

He grabbed his left trouser pocket - Farooq's right fingers and index fingers were stretched into his trouser pocket, and he squeezed hard, causing him to scream in pain.

"Please forgive me, this is a quirk of His Majesty the King," his young entourage came over immediately and said apologetically to Ouyang Yun.

Stilwell and Wavell still didn't know what happened and looked at each other in confusion. However, the British and Americans who had spent some time in Cairo immediately understood what had happened, and their interest was immediately raised.

Ouyang Yun's expression returned to calm, but his tone was cold. He looked into Faruk's eyes and said, "Faruk, is this how you treat your friends?"

Faruk's fat face was covered with sweat. He knew that he had met a master. He smiled awkwardly and said to please: "General Ouyang, I just want to make a joke with you -"

Gu Lianyun was talking to Hel about something at this time. When she saw this, she said sorry to Hel and walked over. Lu Hanni was talking to several Egyptian ladies, and she exclaimed "God"

, then picked up their skirts and ran over. Liu Kui and You Xiaolian kept cruising beside Ouyang Yun. The two took two steps forward, one to the left and one to the right, surrounding Faruk and the young man. Their unique military aura was fully exposed.

Chen Shichang was having a conversation with a beauty officer at this time. When he saw this, he immediately left the beauty officer and walked over. Guo Jianxiang was keenly aware that something serious had happened and immediately left the circle of reporters and ran over.

Liu Kui and You Xiaolian had long been filled with indignation at the British and Americans' contempt for Ouyang Yun. Now that the Egyptians dared to provoke their commander-in-chief, the two looked at each other and prepared for the worst.
