Ouyang Yun's current performance is completely different from that of the day, which makes McIntyre and Stilwell, who are used to his tough attitude, uncomfortable. [Fly] At this time, the gap between them and Roosevelt can be seen.
, Roosevelt seemed to have expected this scene, and followed Ouyang Yun's intention, but they sat aside with stiff expressions, unable to adjust their mentality for a long time.
After some coy posturing, Ouyang Yun got to the point: "Mr. President, you should have felt that we don't trust the British. Regardless of the combat effectiveness of the British team, we are now allies and comrades in the same trench. But, you
See, they actually directly rejected our request for Hong Kong. Mr. President, this is not the attitude that allies should have. Compared with the British, I think the American government and people are like this-" he raised his eyebrows
Thumbs up: "The action of returning the Boxer Indemnity made us feel the goodwill of the U.S. government and people. Mr. President, Prime Minister Churchill should really learn from you. Gentlemen should have a broad and compassionate mind. This is also
The vision a big country should have when dealing with world affairs..."
Ouyang Yun seemed to be chattering a little, but Roosevelt was always very patient, while McIntyre and Stilwell couldn't sit still. "What on earth does the general want to do?" Both of them had such thoughts and were worried.
.After these few days of interaction, they had a certain understanding of Ouyang Yun's way of doing things, and they became more and more convinced that he had ruthless means against the British behind him, and they couldn't help but worry about whether the president could withstand the pressure.
Sure enough, about a quarter of an hour later, the meat show came - "...I don't agree with Prime Minister Churchill's plan. If the Japanese army is defeated, they can retreat to the Denver defense line. I stick to my previous judgment. The key to the Japanese army's attack on the southern peninsula is
The purpose is to open a western front against our country. Now that our more than 300,000 troops are blocking its front, it is impossible for the Japanese army to achieve this goal. In this case, they will not send reinforcements from Australia as envisaged by Prime Minister Churchill. Mr. President,
There is something I don't know whether to say or not." Ouyang Yun stopped talking and looked at Roosevelt.
"General Ouyang Yun, you have nothing to be afraid of. I personally and the U.S. government have great trust in you and the Xuebingjun. We are very happy to become friends with you——"
Ouyang Yun smiled and said with shame: "It seems that I misjudged the relationship between us. This is my responsibility. So from the standpoint of a friend, I must give you advice, even if it is as Prime Minister Churchill wishes.
, established the Allied Army Southeast Asia Headquarters in Myanmar, then I think they will not really launch a counterattack - although the war is a matter at the national level, the execution is by the army and soldiers. Mr. President, please forgive me, just
Judging from what I saw and heard during my stay in the Southern Peninsula and India, the British did not control their Far Eastern colonies to the extent that they could do anything at their fingertips. I thought that if they insisted on having their own way in this matter,
If you do, you will definitely fall into trouble."
Because of the close relationship between Britain and the United States, Roosevelt could not express a clear position on this topic, but said vaguely: "I will remind Prime Minister Churchill that this war of the century will definitely change many things, and they should be aware of it."
Prepare." Then, with a straight expression, he asked Ouyang Yun: "General, do you have any good suggestions on how to ease the situation in Australia? You are much more knowledgeable about military affairs than I am."
"Reinforcements are necessary. If what Prime Minister Churchill said is true, then it is impossible for the Japanese army to make another major breakthrough in Australia in a short period of time. I think that with this buffer period, your team should be able to get reinforcements in place."
Ouyang Yun didn't mention the Philippines at all, which seemed like he didn't say anything to Roosevelt, which made him a little disappointed. However, he then thought that since Ouyang Yun could take the initiative to come to the door, it meant that he was aware of this problem, so he gritted his teeth and said: "
We will not count on the British fleet. General, you may not know that the Queen's Government is preparing to evacuate the British Peninsula, and this fleet should be used by them to protect the evacuation fleet."
Ouyang Yun paid little attention to the war situation in Europe. Firstly, it was too far away from China. Secondly, because he was familiar with this war history, he took it for granted that the British could hold on to their homeland and persist until the Allies began their major counterattack. After listening to Roosevelt's words
The passage, "The Power of Butterflies" jumped out of his mind instantly, and he couldn't help but feel excited and worried at the same time. The excited person, this time gave the country a broader stage; the worried person didn't know whether he would play with fire and bring World War II into another
The ending. And if all other fronts of the Allies failed - he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Roosevelt thought he was shocked by the news of the bombing. He sighed and said: "General, you don't have to worry. The British Peninsula has lost its meaning under the indiscriminate bombing of Nazi Germany. The withdrawal of the British troops will test the strength of other countries."
We can open a new front in the local area. Perhaps we can launch a counterattack in North Africa first."
Ouyang Yun seemed to have not heard what he said and stared at him and asked an irrelevant question: "President Roosevelt, could you please give me an accurate estimate of how long it will take to rebuild your country's Pacific Fleet?"
This question was so unexpected that Roosevelt was stunned for a while before deciding to answer truthfully, saying: "It will take at least another year."
"Can Australia hold on for a year?"
Roosevelt smiled bitterly: "General MacArthur said that based on the current development of the war, they can only hold on for three months at most."
Ouyang Yun stood up and started walking with a frown on his face. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at Roosevelt and said, "Mr. President, I think we should continue the next meeting with an attitude of true allies."
"I have always regarded your army and your government as true allies," Roosevelt looked at him, his eyes full of sincerity: "In Australia, we need the help of your army, General, there is no need to hold on to the Philippines anymore.
I hope you can help us evacuate the Philippine department to Australia. And our team in Taiwan, Australia cannot do without them."
"Why not bring reinforcements from home? Mr. President, with all due respect, your Philippine department is already completely exhausted."
Stilwell, who was listening quietly, could not help but frown and was about to stand up, but McIntyre caught him in time and shook his head firmly at him.
If it weren't for Guo Kui's Second Expeditionary Army, the American Philippine troops would indeed have been completely exhausted at this time. Of course, out of military honor, Stilwell would never admit this.
Roosevelt remained very sincere and said slowly: "General, after the Pacific Fleet was attacked, our country no longer has long-distance projection capabilities in the Pacific. Moreover, our general reported that after your army's training, the Philippine Department's
The combat effectiveness has been qualitatively improved, and Australia needs a force with combat experience."
