Chapter 422: President Roosevelt's Decision

"Regarding Eisenhower's matter, I and the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Britain and the United States will deal with him again!"

"I summoned you today to discuss with you how to deal with the Euro-Atlantic theater and the war in the Asia-Pacific region to encircle the Japanese army!"

"Now these two large-scale wars are taking place in the direction of progress that is not in our favor, and even the Eastern Front battlefield commanded by Stalin has been defeated one after another that we did not expect!"

President Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair and waved his hand in high spirits,

"For the Pacific War and the War of Resistance against Japan in the Asia-Pacific region, I think it is only necessary to send one-third of the troops in the European theater to me, and Nimitz's words; Together, the two of us can directly sweep through the Japanese army, directly hit their homeland, force them to surrender completely, and put an end to this pointless Pacific War. ”

As soon as the words fell, MacArthur was the first to stand up and make a request.

"I believe in you, Admiral MacArthur! But you should know that our worst enemy was the German fascists under Hitler, and not the Japanese, who were weaker than Germany! ”

President Roosevelt disagreed.

"I know! But the ferocity of the Japanese is no worse than that of the Germans, we have already had many soldiers killed by them, and under their aggression and butcher's knife, the casualties of the common people in the Asia-Pacific region are also innumerable, outrageous! Appalling! ”

"So I feel that we should first exterminate these brutes without humanitarianism, and then concentrate all our forces on Hitler and the fascists under his leadership!"

MacArthur retorted with blazing eyes.

"I don't really agree with what you say, we have now suffered thousands of casualties in the European theater, if we stop the attack now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to attack the European theater again!"

"Especially if the Germans completely dominate the whole of Europe, then we and Britain will not have a good time! And another important factor is that if we give up on opening up a second battlefield, I am afraid that our ally Comrade Stalin and his Soviet government will have a great opinion against us, and even defect! ”

But when MacArthur took the opportunity to get military support, Marshall stood up and objected.

"I don't care about that, I just know that I want to get rid of those Japanese monkeys as soon as possible! I can no longer tolerate them threatening the security of our country and even the stability of the entire Asia-Pacific region in the Pacific! ”

"In particular, I don't want to see more of our soldiers and innocent people overseas being mutilated and killed by them!"

"Especially their massacres in the Philippines, Singapore and other major regions, I want to take back justice and justice for those who have died innocently!"

MacArthur, who was short-tempered, suddenly showed an expression of eliminating harm for the people, and responded with righteousness and awe.

"When did this old guy become so righteous?"

Hearing this, Marshall and all the people present, including President Roosevelt, couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.

MacArthur, of course, knew nothing about their thoughts, and now he was only bent on getting more troops; and weapons and equipment to deal with the Japanese army in the Pacific theater and in the Asia-Pacific region, and recover the Philippines as soon as possible, so that his achievements can return to their previous glorious status, and even go further and go to the next level.

"Admiral MacArthur! I know your mind very well, and I am sure of it! But now that we have just been defeated by the Germans on the Western Front, especially in the recent Battle of Sicily, if we abandon the European theater of war or adopt some passive avoidance practices when morale is so low now, then our troops on the Western Front will be very dangerous! ”

"Oh no! Not only did they lose their will to fight and self-confidence, but they even thought of being deserters and mutiny to return home! ”

"And even if they don't have much change in mood after the war, I believe that with Hitler's war maniac nature, he will definitely take the initiative to attack our troops, and I am afraid that all our troops fighting on the Western Front will be greatly impacted and suffer casualties!"

"In addition to the casualties of our troops, I am also worried that the whole of Europe is still resisting the brutal rule of the German army, and the people and partisans who are fighting to the end will look down on us and shake the morale of the army, if this happens, then it will become a nightmare for us to fight against the German fascists in the future!"

Before Marshall could respond to MacArthur's remarks, Roosevelt took the lead from a state of sluggishness and became excited.

"In any case, we must not abandon the Western Front, and we must not allow Hitler to continue to be strong and carry out massacres and aggression! We will resist to the end, we will defeat him, and return Europe to a prosperous and lively era of peace! ”

Before MacArthur could refute it, President Roosevelt continued to speak excitedly.

"But don't worry, I will find a way to give you a little more troops, and weapons and equipment, because the Japanese have already made secret transactions with the German army, and have obtained a lot of new aircraft carriers, ships and other equipment, as well as heavy weapons and equipment used by the army!" "Therefore, we absolutely cannot allow the Japanese to continue to grow stronger, and we absolutely cannot make them as difficult to deal with as Hitler and the German fascists, or there will be a major crisis in our Pacific and Asia-Pacific regions, and even threaten the security of our country!"

"So for these potential war risks, and crises, I will never let them happen!"

When MacArthur wanted to jump out and refute it, President Roosevelt stared at the other party in a determined tone, word by word.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, with such a wise leadership as the President, I believe that whether it is the Japanese monkeys who killed countless people and brutal, or the war-mad Hitler and his German fascist government, they will all be defeated by us, and the victory will eventually fall to our side!"

As soon as he heard that President Roosevelt had promised to give him support in terms of troops and weapons and equipment, MacArthur, who was about to lose his temper and refute him, suddenly changed his tone and added President Roosevelt in a rare way.

"How to defeat those Japanese still depends on you and Nimitz! When the meeting is over, you will discuss with Nimitz how many troops I should deploy; and weapons and equipment for you! But we must stop in moderation, because we have more enemies than just the Japanese! ”

President Roosevelt said with a wry smile.

"In addition, in the European war, I think Admiral Marshall, you and Truman will also go to me one more time to supervise and straighten out, I don't want to have another defeat like the Battle of Sicily!"

"Hmmm! Of course! Stalin, you also send me personnel to communicate, I don't want another large-scale defeat on their side! So let's also discuss what type of new weapons and equipment would be better to add to them! ”

"They have pinned down most of the German army for us, if Stalin and his Soviet army are defeated by the German army, then the European battlefield will be the world of German fascists, then the world will fall into an unprecedented dark age, and there will be more innocent civilians killed and wounded, and it will be even more unimaginable!"

Then President Roosevelt said to Marshall.

"Yes! Your Excellency, President! ”

Marshall nodded in agreement.

Immediately they continued to get together to discuss how to deal with the constant defeats. And how to turn defeat into victory, win the German army, and the Japanese army, and end this World War II as soon as possible.
