It is a great irony - compared with the current situation of the United States and the United States around 1937, if the two sides had reversed their positions. At that time, the Chinese government was eager for the United States to take a fair stance and condemn Japan, which could avoid this.
This war pinned all hopes on traditional powers such as Europe and the United States. What did the Americans do at that time? Although the U.S. government issued condemnations or statements, it still maintained normal economic, trade and diplomatic relations with Japan. Today
The situation in the United States is not as bad as that of the original country, but the national conditions are different. The lives of senior U.S. government officials headed by Roosevelt are not much better than those of the central government officials headed by Chiang Kai-shek. After Japan successfully developed the Mount Fuji super fighter,
The bombing of the United States has not stopped. This kind of bombing has not actually caused much actual losses to the United States, but it has caused a considerable degree of panic among the American people, gradually affecting the stability of American society, and making the U.S. government take great pains to
The good situation of national mobilization in business operations is gone forever, and it has gradually affected all aspects of American society. Six months ago, the United States was still the main exporter of weapons, equipment and logistical materials to its allies. What now? Excluding technical factors, the United States is also
It is no longer able to afford such a large-scale material export. In addition, the US military's troops in Australia, the Pacific and even the Atlantic are not strong, and its ability to influence the world war situation is relatively weakened. At this time, the current United States has long since ceased to fight in World War II.
It was a good time at the beginning. On the contrary, the student army that followed the high-tech route and the national government behind it are now in a good situation. In fact, they have become the mainstay of the Allied forces to resist the armed forces of the Axis powers.
The Americans decided to fully participate in the war because of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It was also from that time that the United States increased the output of materials to assist its allies. But now it seems that the Americans' efforts have not only failed to achieve the expected results.
In return, it seems to be asking for trouble. Isn't it? Take the Australia War as an example. Australia belongs to the traditional sphere of influence of the United Kingdom. The United States actually gained control of Australia through a large amount of aid to the United Kingdom.
.This should have been regarded as an exchange of interests, a dividend given by the British in return for the Americans' generosity. However, the real situation now is that the United States got the dominance of Australia as it wished, but it was far from achieving it.
The expected effect - not only did Australia fail to become a firewall for the United States, it also failed to become a forward base for the United States to fully occupy the Pacific. Instead, the US military was trapped in the mud and unable to extricate itself, and it would be an extra burden for no reason. The United States in Australia
Such a predicament on the battlefield was unexpected by the senior officials of the U.S. government. Because they had sacrificed so much for the war in Australia, many senior officials in the U.S. government instinctively resisted giving up the initiative in the war in Australia.
Then after the Battle of Guadalcanal, the US-Australia coalition seized control of the war. As a result, the Americans humiliated themselves. The missiles failed to improve their situation in the Australian war, and instead lost what little capital they had.
The Americans almost lost the war in Australia with only their pants left. This may be an exaggeration, but it does not seriously deviate from the facts. Take the Guadalcanal Defense War after the Battle of Guadalcanal as an example. After this battle, the U.S. Pacific Fleet had just returned from Guadalcanal.
The forces supplemented by the mainland were almost exhausted, and the ground force losses exceeded three divisions and nearly 20,000 people. Before the Guadalcanal Defense War, the Americans still had the ability to cooperate with the National Expeditionary Force in launching the Guadalcanal Campaign. After the war,
, but the Americans did not even have enough troops to maintain the basic defense line. This is actually the practical reason why Roosevelt had to be invited to come to Chongqing - because Australia and the Pacific are really inseparable from the National Expeditionary Force and the Pacific Fleet!
From Ouyang Yun's point of view, he actually hopes to give priority to solving Japan's maritime power, and then gradually develop plans for it. Until now, the war between Japan and China has not only been an issue that must be won, but also the post-war issues must be taken into consideration.
Reconstruction. Then, it is actually an ideal process to recover part of the domestic battlefield and rebuild part, and wait until the end of the war to restore the national strength to a certain level to match its international status at that time. Japan's special status environment determines
Once it loses the protection of the navy, it will be like a chicken locked in a cage. At that time, the Chinese government can do whatever it wants with it. However, from the current height, Ouyang Yun cannot always be idealistic.
To consider the problem. As the supreme head of the current government, he must also take into account the support of the people and historical trends. He must distinguish priorities and realize when is the best time to do what. Based on this idea, he cannot ignore the domestic battlefield and the Soviet Union.
The importance of the Russian battlefield. The domestic battlefield is of course placed first. Because of the "Soviet-Chongqing Agreement", the importance of the Soviet-Russian battlefield increased and was ranked second, followed by the Australian War and the Pacific Theater. Of course.
, this ranking does not mean that the Australian War and the Pacific Theater are not important. Because these two battlefields are related to the issue of Japan’s war potential. If the country wants to win the Japanese War at a relatively small cost, it will squeeze Japan’s living space to the greatest extent.
, this is also in line with the national interest. Therefore, although the current focus of the Chinese government is on the country and Soviet Russia, it is not a bad idea to use troops in Australia and the Pacific at the same time if conditions permit.
The first meeting between Ouyang Yun and Roosevelt lasted for three hours, and just when the two sides finally figured out each other's bottom line and began to enter into formal negotiations, Liu Kui hurried in with a pack of wolf fangs.
"Prime Minister, Mr. President, you must move immediately," Liu Kui warned as soon as he came in. Then without waiting for Ouyang Yun and Roosevelt to express their opinions, he walked toward the emergency exit with a group of wolf fangs surrounding them.
When the talks were at their most critical, Liu Kui suddenly made such a move, and Ouyang Yun was very angry. "What happened? The Japanese came to Chongqing?" he asked sharply.
Fan Xuande, who accompanied Roosevelt to the talks, also expressed strong dissatisfaction. He believed that the country's security department was too shameful. How could such an important meeting be allowed to happen? Roosevelt, on the other hand, behaved more reasonably. He said, "We should listen to the professionals."
"It's for people", which can be regarded as tacit approval of Liu Kui's operation.
Roosevelt behaved openly and magnanimously, but Ouyang Yun became embarrassed. He sincerely apologized to Roosevelt and said: "Mr. President, I'm sorry for frightening you."
"War years, I'm used to it!" Roosevelt smiled.
Ouyang Yun nodded, then turned to Liu Kui and said, "Tell Mu Jiandie that in a quarter of an hour, I must return to the living room with President Roosevelt!"
