Washington, at the same time, the two houses of the U.S. Senate were still having a heated debate on whether to declare war on Japan first. Debates related to this had begun since the Japanese expeditionary fleet invaded Southeast Asia. However, because the United States had pursues isolationist diplomacy, so even though many people realize that the Japanese army will invade the Philippine Islands sooner or later, and there will be a war between the United States and Japan sooner or later, more people feel that they should not take the initiative to get involved in this war. Even though President Roosevelt It prefers to be tough on Japan and believes that it should take the initiative to go to war with Japan to ensure the interests of the United States in Southeast Asia. However, it cannot obtain the support of enough members of both houses of the House of Representatives and has been unable to issue effective orders. Even when two nuclear experts were "killed" by Japanese agents, When someone "kills" someone, they can only settle the matter by protesting.
With the help of the cadet army, the British broke into the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in Singapore and rescued more than 30,000 captured officers and soldiers. This news was an opportunity for the US government to promote the war. Under official operations, the news effect of this news was Magnified many times, the debate between the two houses about war or not has become more intense. At the same time, the US government has become more enthusiastic about initialing a cooperation agreement with the Xuebingjun.
On this day, President Roosevelt summoned Gu Lianyun again. After repeated urging by Secretary of State Hull to no avail, Roosevelt personally took action.
Gu Lianyun and Guo Muyi went together. In Roosevelt's office in the White House, the two parties first had an in-depth discussion on the situation in the Far East and related cooperation matters, and then talked about the aircraft carrier.
Just as the Japanese speculated, although the American people were still singing and dancing without the slightest hint of war, the U.S. government and military were already actively preparing for war. On the day when the Japanese expeditionary fleet invaded Southeast Asia, Roosevelt signed a The order to investigate and count the active combat strength of the US military ended three days ago. Then, the secret deal between Skull and Bones member Wallace and the cadet army was exposed.
A transaction involving 100 million, the items purchased and sold were active US warships, including a brand new attack submarine. Even though Roosevelt had long known that there was something fishy about the Navy's arms purchase, he was still outraged. Roosevelt's original plan was to completely He pursued the matter and recovered the relevant ships, but after learning the news about the "Singapore Prisoner of War Camp", he suppressed his anger and looked at the matter from another angle, so today's summons was called.
Taking out the relevant investigation report and handing it to Gu Lianyun, the old American man picked up the coffee in front of him and sipped it leisurely while observing Gu Lianyun's reaction.
Gu Lianyun was shocked at first, but she quickly calmed down and handed the investigation report to Guo Muyi. She looked at Roosevelt and said sincerely: "Mr. President, I'm sorry that this happened. What I want to say Yes, you understand our urgent mood. As a large maritime country, we do not have an ocean-going fleet. As a result, we were blocked at home by the Japanese and had no power to fight back..."
Gu Lianyun was very smart. Based on her understanding of the Skull and Bones Society, and seeing that Roosevelt presented the report on such an occasion, she instantly judged that the other party obviously did not intend to delve deeper, so after apologizing, she took the initiative to show weakness in order to arouse Roosevelt's attention. pity,
This was the first time Guo Muyi knew about this matter. He quickly glanced at the report. He couldn't help but secretly sigh at the commander-in-chief's audacity. Then his mind was spinning rapidly. He felt that it was time for Chen Shichang and the others to return to the country. "The Americans are anxious." When he initialed the agreement with us, he must have felt that the war between the United States and Japan was not far away, and if he didn't go back, he would not be requisitioned by the U.S. government. That would really mean losing his wife and losing his troops."
Gu Lianyun expected it to be true. Roosevelt did not delve into the meaning of this matter. Instead, he took the opportunity to propose an exchange condition. He hoped that the Xuebing Army would dispatch at least one group army to help the United States defend the Philippines. His original words were: "Your army is fighting with the Philippines." The Japanese Army has accumulated a lot of practical experience in the confrontation, which is what our young men lack, so we need your army's help. I sympathize with your country's experience and understand your desire to strengthen its maritime defense capabilities, so although It is an illegal transaction, and we still decide to recognize it. Of course, in order to silence the mouths of those who are boasting, I need your army to fully cooperate on the Philippine issue."
Gu Lianyun originally wanted to use the excuse of "needing to seek instructions from the Commander-in-Chief" as an excuse again, but Guo Muyi jumped in before her to express her position, and immediately agreed, and suggested that the agreement should be initialed tomorrow.
Guo Muyi acted very cheerfully. Although Roosevelt did not fully understand his status in the cadet army, seeing that Gu Lianyun had no objections, he naturally expressed his welcome. So the two sides agreed to hold formal talks tomorrow to formally initial the agreement.
On the way back, Gu Lianyun frowned and asked Guo Muyi: "This is what the commander-in-chief means."
"It's still my intention for the time being, but the Commander-in-Chief will agree." Guo Muyi replied,
Gu Lianyun frowned even more tightly and said, "It concerns the future of more than 30,000 soldiers. You are too hasty."
Guo Muyi replied seriously: "Do we have any other choice? The aircraft carrier is the commander-in-chief's biggest dream, and it is also the future and hope of the military academy and the country. Therefore, no matter how big the sacrifice is, it is worth it. Madam, are you not a Jew?" Are you having a headache due to the lack of cooperation? This is an opportunity to resolve the matter."
According to the agreement reached between the Zionist Organization and the Xuebing Army, one of the two aircraft carrier groups built by Jews in the United States will be directly handed over to the Xuebing Army. However, because the Jewish Chamber of Commerce in Guangzhou and the Xuebing Army gradually distanced themselves from Germany, Affected by this, the Zionist Organization wavered in its attitude on this matter. Therefore, although the two aircraft carrier fleets have been completed, the Jews refused to deliver them to the student army under various excuses. Now they have become one of Gu Lianyun's heart disease,
Gu Lianyun originally intended to have a good discussion with the National Restoration Organization on this matter recently, and if it still failed, he would report it to Ouyang Yun. Hearing these words, his heart moved, and the expression on his face relaxed.
Guo Muyi continued: "It can be seen that the Americans are very eager for us to send troops to the Philippines. We can take this opportunity to let them put pressure on the Jews. Madam, have you noticed that during this period, American officials and civilians have been The debate about war between Japan and Japan is getting more and more intense. If my prediction is correct, there will be a war between the United States and Japan within this year. By then, the United States government may requisition our fleet, so I think it is time for Commander Chen and others to leave. America,.”
Gu Lianyun also thought about this problem, but she didn't see it as clearly as Guo Muyi. She nodded thoughtfully and said: "The situation you mentioned may indeed happen, but it is too important, we should still consult Please give me the opinion of the Commander-in-Chief."
Guo Muyi nodded: "This is necessary." Then after thinking for a while, she added: "If what I predict is correct, the Commander-in-Chief will soon issue an order related to the evacuation of the United States to Commander Chen and the others."
