1063 Solomon

"What does Turkey mean by this? 5 German destroyers into the Black Sea? On the other side of the Atlantic, in the White House office of the United States, Marshall looked at Roosevelt, who was slightly better, and sneered.

"It doesn't mean anything, Turkey, you know...... When is it not left and right? Roosevelt spoke slowly.

Recently, he has recovered well, and he can even go out and walk in a wheelchair when the weather is good.

And Marshall also kept in mind the doctor's instructions and did not let Roosevelt work too hard. The current president of the United States only works 2 hours a day, which can be said to be very relaxed.

You know, after all, at this time, the United States is fighting Japan in the Pacific, and it is a miracle that the president can be so idle.

"So, should we let Turkey pull the Germans back?" Marshall opened his mouth to suggest.

"No, you don't! You don't need to do anything! We have done everything we can, and now we have to wait for God's will. Roosevelt said slowly.

"As long as Stalin lived, the Soviet-German war would not end...... As long as he is alive, the Germans will not be able to pull out against us. As he spoke, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed slightly.

Then, the American president continued: "So, the attitude of Turkey does not matter, even if Ukraine is lost. ”

"As long as our secret weapon is developed, as long as Germany can't touch us and the United States before that, we will win this war." After President Roosevelt finished speaking, he closed his mouth.

Marshall knew that the United States was developing a secret weapon, and a superweapon that could change the tide of war in an instant.

He's helped with a lot of things these days when Mr. President was seriously ill — so he heard the rumors too, but he just didn't know the specific core secrets.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, how can it be completely secret when so much electricity is used, so many experts are dispatched, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people are running around?

Although I don't know the whole picture of this plan, many people know the details of this plan.

It is as if the top level of the United States actually knows that the Germans are also working on similar weapons, and the progress seems to be on par with that of the United States.

But Marshall's mood did not improve in the slightest, and he looked at the aging president and felt that his strategy seemed to be useless.

The top level of the United States has pinned its hopes on an illusory strategic weapon? Isn't that child's play?

It is no longer strategists who decide the future of a country, but a group of scientists in white coats? Are you kidding?

Every time he thought of this, Marshall felt that President Roosevelt in front of him was old, so old that he was almost confused.

"Several aircraft carriers converted from merchant ships have been commissioned, and our fronts in the Pacific are becoming more stable, and a counterattack is likely to begin before Christmas this year." Marshall, who was a little displeased, changed the topic today.

He was reluctant to talk about Germany, because since Germany was out of control, there was nothing the United States could do. The feeling of sudden deviance made Marshall very disliked.

Beginning in June 1940, the European theater of war, which had been played out according to the American script, became a nightmare for the United States.

The United States' support for Germany's rise against Britain's plan to destroy Europe, the center of the world, changed at a certain moment.

The current playbook is that Germany, with the support of the United States, has overturned the whole of Europe, making it difficult for the United States to ride the tiger, and there is no way out.

Roosevelt was obviously not willing to talk about the war in Europe, he preferred to deal with the problems of the Pacific theater.

For in his opinion, none of the ten things about Japan was as difficult as one thing about Germany.

"The troops in Australia still need to be strengthened, after all, it is necessary to prevent the Japanese from really jumping over the wall!" Roosevelt opened his mouth to arrange.

"In the matter of the navy, we must also supervise Nimitz! Let him organize the fleet as much as possible and start a counterattack, so that the Japanese fleet cannot be drawn out to threaten other places. He said such a long sentence in one breath that he began to cough.

His body had not fully recovered, so the long exertion would cause him to start coughing and lose energy.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Mr. President, who wisely proposed the Lend-Lease Act and led the United States out of the financial crisis, began to turn pale again.

"If we start fighting back, we're going to make a fuss about the Hawaiian Islands! We must take this place before we can move forward! Gritting his teeth and persevering, Roosevelt finished his thoughts.

Marshall nodded, this kind of macro deployment was his strength, so he returned to his best state: "The Japanese Navy has recently attacked the Solomon Islands and the Marshall Islands!" ”

"How long will these places last?" Roosevelt knew that if Japan was allowed to establish a base on these islands, it would really be iron-clad. If Japan occupies these places, it will play a rather troublesome role in delaying the counterattack of the United States.

"I'm afraid the Marshall Islands can't hold on, but the Solomon Islands ...... I think I can fight for it! Marshall replied.

His words reassured President Roosevelt, who was critical to the shipping between Australia and the United States.

Once the Solomon Islands were occupied by the Japanese army, the route between the United States and Australia could no longer be used.

U.S. transport ships have to go around to small ports in southern Australia to unload their supplies – a very unfavorable situation for the U.S. military, which relies on Australia as a base for advancement.

"Telegraph to Nimitz, and Spruance and other generals! It is better to stop the Japanese attack in the Solomon Islands! We can't afford to lose Australia! That's the bottom line! "Although President Roosevelt was not a general, his strategic vision was still very accurate.

Speaking of this, Marshall was also very supportive: "General MacArthur is trying to find a way to reinforce the Solomon Islands, where we can dispel the idea of the Japanese army attacking Australia!" ”

Roosevelt closed his eyes and nodded slightly, agreeing with Marshall's opinion. He's tired now, and he needs to get some rest.

Seeing Roosevelt's embarrassed expression, Marshall also knew that the president had now reached his limit.

So he quickly got up, stood up and said softly: "Mr. President, then I will leave first!" God bless America! ”
