A Far East Allied Forces Command has been established in the Philippines, and now Knox has proposed to establish a Pacific Allied Forces Unified Command. What kind of medicine are the Americans selling? In the final analysis, they have never thought about being able to hold the Philippines, so The agreement to establish the Far East Allied Forces Command in the Philippines and to be led by the Cadet Army was just for the sake of the lives of the more than 20,000 American soldiers. To put it bluntly, it was a small sacrifice in exchange for the Cadet Army continuing to serve the American soldiers. serve as a shield, and then through a series of operations, establish a higher-level unified command to take back control of the Far East battlefield. On this point, Roosevelt and his group of army and navy officers had a tacit understanding. At this time When Midway was attacked, Knox couldn't wait to mention it.
Roosevelt thought for a while and said: "That's all. As for Hull, call him over and let him implement this matter."
If we want to establish the Pacific Allied Unified Command in Australia, we will definitely have to deal with the British government, the Australian government and the Chinese government. It is most appropriate for Secretary of State Hull to be responsible for this matter.
Hull came with Marshall. Both of them had learned about the attack on Midway Island, and their faces looked bad. The latter's face was particularly worried. The two of them heard Knox talk about the attack. After the establishment of the Allied Unified Command in the Pacific, Hull asked: "Do we have to abandon the cadet army?"
Roosevelt nodded: "We can only choose between the Xuebing Army and the Chongqing government. Considering the overall situation, we can only choose the Chongqing government. Of course, we are not ungrateful. We can give a certain amount of economic support to the Xuebing Army." compensate."
The key reason why the Americans dare to start a new idea to oust the Allied Forces Command in the Far East is that both Britain, Australia and even China need military assistance from the United States. It is no exaggeration to say that if the United States stops its military assistance at this time, If the British military aid or withdraws from Australia, then the UK will definitely not be able to last this year, and Australia does not even have the confidence to face the offensive that the Japanese army may launch at any time. China is less dependent on the United States, but in Britain and Australia, the United States will follow its lead. Under such circumstances, the Chongqing government, which is in urgent need of assistance, will never dare to play against the United States.
Knox added: "No matter how powerful the Xuebing Army is, it is just a warlord government in China. As long as Chongqing has no objections, I think for the sake of money, they will not cause trouble."
Hull smiled and said: "They dare to charge 10,000 US dollars in patent fees for a Baiji dolphin. Xuebingjun should be short of money. Haha, as long as the compensation we give is generous enough, Xuebingjun will do it even if he has objections." Compromise, not everyone can afford the Pacific Fleet."
Roosevelt: "You must reach a tacit understanding with Mrs. Chiang as soon as possible. If Mrs. Chiang is willing to help make peace, it will be twice the result with half the effort."
"I don't think so." Marshall had a different opinion: "Gentlemen, please don't forget the Battle of Green Island a few days ago. Before the results come out, I think everyone here will definitely not be optimistic about the Xuebing Army, but the facts How about it." At this point, he looked at Roosevelt: "Your Excellency, I just received a telegram from Gunat. Do you know how he evaluated this war?"
Knox asked: "Did Gunat witness the whole incident?"
"The Cadet Army conducted a video recording, and Gurnutt was invited to watch it." Marshall first answered Knox's question, and then turned to Roosevelt and said: "Gurnutt said, although the Navy of the Cadet Army still looks very good, They are immature, but their development direction is very targeted. High-speed torpedo boats paired with submarines are not enough to go on expeditions to the ocean, but they are very practical for blocking waterways in offshore waters. Regarding maritime affairs, we are actually all laymen, but he said that those who studied military affairs That Swordfish-type high-speed torpedo boat is very technological and can reach a top speed of 120 kilometers per hour."
"A torpedo boat with a speed of 120 kilometers per hour." Knox asked, unable to sit still.
Marshall answered affirmatively: "Yes."
"In the Battle of Green Island, the Xuebing Army should have sent out all its torpedo boats and submarines."
"Gunat didn't say."
"Then call and inquire immediately." Knox said, looking at Roosevelt and saying: "Your Excellency, now we can be sure of one thing. It is not that the Xuebing Army is incapable of bringing Gunat and the others to Guangzhou. You don’t have any ulterior motives.”
The Xuebing Army attaches great importance to publicity. After the victory of the Battle of Green Island, it continued to carry out publicity and reporting vigorously. Therefore, the White House soon received detailed information about the battle. From the intelligence, it was learned that the Xuebing Army actually had more than 200 ships. On the one hand, the Americans were shocked by the sudden display of offshore naval strength by the Xuebing Army, and then they realized that they had been fooled by the Xuebing Army regarding Gunat and the others.
After more than 10,000 U.S. troops led by Gunnart withdrew to Taiwan, the U.S. government frequently asked the Xue Bing Army to take them to Fujian, but the Xue Bing Army refused on the basis of various reasons. Among these reasons, the key One of the reasons is that there are Japanese submarines in the Taiwan Strait, and the Xuebing Army does not have enough naval power to ensure the safety of the troop transport fleet. This excuse is actually a bit self-deceiving. The width of the Taiwan Strait is much shorter than the distance between Taiwan and Luzon Island. Many, the Xuebing Army has the ability to evacuate Gunat and the others from Luzon Island to Taiwan, but doesn’t it have the ability to take them from Taiwan to Fujian? The Americans are not stupid, but for one thing, they still don’t believe in the Xuebing Army. Dare to threaten the U.S. government with more than 10,000 U.S. soldiers as hostages. I really don’t understand the motives of the Xuebing Army. On the other hand, the Xuebing Army has repeatedly stated that its naval power is weak and cannot guarantee the safety of the troop transport fleet. A solution was proposed again, but this solution was based on the idea of the U.S. submarine force at Midway Island. The Americans were worried that they would be tricked by the cadet army like the French Far East Fleet, so they simply remained aloof and ignored it. Don't ask,
The Americans' worries are not groundless. Midway Island is four to five thousand kilometers away from Taiwan. If the submarines there are to be dispatched to escort the troop transport fleet, supplies must be obtained in Taiwan. In that case, once the student army is involved in the supply matter If they resort to manipulation, then the Americans really have no other solution except to compromise.
The destruction of the Pacific Fleet was a huge blow to the Americans. Before the new Pacific Fleet can form combat capabilities, the submarine force at Midway will be the only hope for the United States to continue to maintain a military presence in the Pacific. No matter how cautious the Americans are, Not an exaggeration,
The Xuebing Army has been reluctant to take Gunat and the others from Taiwan to Fujian, which has long aroused the uneasiness of the Americans. When Knox said these words, other people's faces immediately changed. Marshall remembered something. , his face looked particularly ugly, and he said: "It's not that he has any ulterior motives, it's simply that he has sinister intentions."
These words were even more serious, and others couldn't help but look at him,
Marshall said with a gloomy face: "Gentlemen, do you still remember that we asked the Xuebing Army to help train the troops?"
Roosevelt: "I know this. It was MacArthur who requested it. It started when he was in Cebu. What, is there a problem?"
"The problem is huge. If my prediction is correct, if we don't take action, Gunat will be completely eliminated. By then, more than 10,000 of our young men will become cannon fodder for the Chinese."
"What,."
"It's impossible."
"What did Xuebingjun do?"
Everyone immediately became angry,
Ouyang Yun was willing to go to great lengths to bring more than 10,000 American soldiers led by Gunnart to Taiwan. As Marshall said, he had sinister intentions. If we want to trace the origin of this matter, we have to start from Mao Chengcheng according to Li Lanwang's plan. Ordered to provide the two important pieces of information to Ouyang Yun. After the war situation in Taiwan was like a prairie fire that burned most of Taiwan, the panicked Japanese, unwilling to accept defeat and extremely cruel, tore off the mask of hypocrisy. , wanted to use biological and chemical weapons to turn Taiwan into a barren land. At that time, Ouyang Yun used international public opinion to "kidnap" a group of Western journalists and use them as human shields to skillfully survive the crisis. Of course, this was only temporary. As the war between Japan and the United States began, countries around the world began to divide into two camps. Naturally, this trick did not work, so he turned to the American soldiers on the Philippine Islands. He also knew that for the crazy little devil, such a Doing this may not necessarily make them give up this action, but because the United States is far more powerful in deterring Japan than the Xue Bing Army, it can at least make the Japanese think twice before taking action, and it can also serve as a defense for him and the Xue Bing Army. It will take more time for the Bingjun army to completely resolve this hidden danger.
Ouyang Yun originally had a grand plan and wanted to "kidnap" all the U.S. troops in the Philippines to Taiwan. But then he thought that the Americans would not invest too much in the Far East Allied Forces Command, so he used the excuse of insufficient transportation capacity to only transport More than 10,000 people left. After these more than 10,000 people went to Taiwan, in order to facilitate control, Ouyang Yun ordered a teaching group to be organized in the name of the Far East Allied Forces Command to "help" them train. With this grand excuse, Jiang Dahe, Xiao Yi, and Jiang Chuanjun were able to split up and reorganize the U.S. military in Taiwan openly, and gathered the officers to form an officer corps to conduct separate high-level command training. It is ridiculous to say that Gunat once At first, realizing the huge gap between the US military and the cadet army, they regarded it as a good deed and ordered the entire army to actively cooperate. So in an atmosphere of gratitude, more than 10,000 Americans were willingly split into three More than a dozen training groups and an officer corps lived a happy life in which the soldiers could not see the generals and the generals could not see the soldiers. By the time he reacted, the student army had completely controlled the situation. The student army had only used a few soldiers. With a letter of order issued in the name of Guo Kui and Sharp, more than 10,000 Americans were mixed into more than 30,000 cadet troops and became members of the glorious Second Cadet Expeditionary Army.
The Americans are willing to bend over backwards to deal with the Chinese warlord government of Xuebingjun, and even establish an alliance. The only reason is that the Chinese people are too many and stupid, and they only expect the Xuebingjun to be cannon fodder for them. Of course, no matter on the surface or Deep down in their hearts, because the great United States of America is the freest, most democratic, and richest country in the world today, in their view, the cadet army can serve as cannon fodder for the United States. Instead of complaining, they should feel lucky, because they You can gain the friendship of the United States. As for whether the friendship of the United States is valuable and whether it has practical value, oh, of course it is valuable. Look, it is both financial and military aid...
However, just as their democracy and freedom only apply to American citizens, when they suddenly fell out with the cadet army and became cannon fodder, the Americans immediately became angry.
