Chapter 018: The Americans' Decision
The Japanese are ungrateful, aggressive, obviously more restless, brutal, and difficult to control than the Chinese, and the spiritual and ideological degree is controlled by the Japanese imperial family, in general, except for the chaebols and warlords, everyone else is loyal to the emperor, and they can give up their own interests for the emperor,
The disadvantage is that the industrial base is poor, the energy under control is small, and the population is only more than 70 million.
Although the Chinese have a gentle temperament and have all kinds of shortcomings in human nature, the population accounts for a quarter of the world, the country is rich in resources, although the industrial base is thin, but the total amount is indeed not to be underestimated, and the achievements in heavy industry are remarkable, weapons and equipment do not have to be inferior to the world powers, and even many unheard of new weapons have appeared, better than the equipment of Germany and the United States,
China has been oppressed and bullied for so many years, and the United States was also involved in that year, and now China must have tasted the sweetness of revenge, who can guarantee that it will not retaliate against the United States,
The terrible Marshall of hatred has already learned from the Germans, can the Germans fight the Soviet Union, France, Britain and the United States, obviously not, but Germany still resolutely launched the war,
The Indians have been killed by the bacteriological weapons of the British now, I don't know how much, there were three or four hundred million, but from the plane sent by the west bank of the Indus River, from the sky, there have been no living people, only flocks of crows and meat-eating vultures and eagles and the like, several times the plane they sent to reconnoiter was damaged, and one actually fell, the pilot's parachute was found, but the pilot was gone, but he saw a lot of blood nearby, and the soldiers sent judged that the two pilots were ten times more eaten by the nativesοΌ
According to the report, Marshall estimated that India is estimated to be only about 100 million left, and it is terrifying to think about it, a country with a population of three or four hundred million was almost extinct by bacteriological weapons, but this can only be blamed on the Indians for not knowing each other, and they want to break away from British rule and follow Japan, otherwise if India is there, it is a good choice for the United States to arm them against China and Japan, but now it is not necessary,

Marshall thought a lot, and finally decided to support Japan to suppress China first, and strive to ensure that the Soviet Union was not destroyed, as long as the Soviet Union still existed, then Germany's defeat became inevitable, as long as European countries were on the side of the United States, Marshall believed that Japan and China were just turtles in the urn, and they couldn't make any big waves.
"Mr. President, I am also in favor of stabilizing the Japanese first, although it is against morality for us to withdraw from Australia, but no matter how much Japan threatens, it is within the scope of control, and if China is strong, it will inevitably destroy the Soviet Union together with Germany, even if China will not threaten us, but Germany will definitely be."
Wallace said: "Then do what the chief of staff wants, you can handle this matter and negotiate with the British." β
"Yes." Marshall nodded helplessly, this is not a good errand, giving up the territory of the white man to the yellow race, and sacrificing the territory of countless young Americans, Marshall knows that he will be notorious in history, but correspondingly he is more afraid of the anger of the people, and how to convince the British and Australians,
Wallace is actually very shrewd, anyway, the government officials are very repulsive to him, he can't do anything, he simply doesn't care about anything, and now the government officials and parliamentarians have a good impression of his decentralization.
However, Marshall did not agree with this, and now all the burden fell on his head, but fortunately, Truman, the new presidential candidate, showed great talent, and was not close to Roosevelt's ideas, and Marshall could almost relax after holding out for 3 or 4 months.
Marshall immediately found Truman after leaving the presidential office, Truman wanted to be president, if Marshall had the support it must be a sure thing, the opinion of the military was more important than the opinion of the people during the war,
Truman saw Marshall show great respect, in addition to Marshall's contribution to the United States, there is also the fact that if he wants to become president, he must get the support of the military led by Marshall, and now he is fighting a world war that is related to the life and death of the country.
Marshall saw that Truman was coming, and he asked Truman to serve him a cup of coffee, and then said to Truman: "Mr. Truman, there is a very tricky matter that you need to do now, and if you do it, you will be the next president." "Marshall also doesn't want to be charged with betraying Australia, so he can only leave it to someone else.
"What a task." Truman helped his gold-rimmed glasses and said,
Marshall put it bluntly: "Convince the British and the Australian government to withdraw from Australia." "Glaring at Truman,
Truman chuckled in his heart, and then calmly said, "Mr. Marshall, I don't think any white man will give up their territory to the yellow race, and let the yellow race ride on the white man's head to make a fortune." β
Marshall said that if he gave up Australia, he would naturally give Australia to Japan, because now only Japan is attacking Australia.
Marshall is also very helpless, although he can withdraw directly, Australia will definitely not be able to withstand the Japanese attack, but the United States does not want to affect the relationship between the United States and Britain because of this matter, in addition, the Australian Prime Minister turned his back on Britain and took refuge in the United States, if he left without saying hello directly, then those little brothers in the United States will no longer dare to believe that the United States can protect their security, they will definitely meet different ideas, and the countries that are specially prepared for the Americas will inevitably take refuge in the United States when Germany attacks the Americas,
"Mr. Truman, I admit that what you said is very reasonable, no one wants to do this, but the current situation makes us have to do this, the Soviet Union has been beaten by China and Germany on the verge of breathing, maybe it will surrender at any time, and then the 4 or 5 million Soviet troops in the Soviet Union will directly move to Western Europe, look at our soldiers, the Germans are now only 780,000 people in Western Europe, they are all struggling, if Germany has no worries, transfer their elite divisions to Western Europe, I am afraid that we will be driven down the Atlantic again, and if the European continent is completely controlled by the Germans, they will certainly not have the thorn in the side of Britain, and then they will inevitably attack Britain, and I am afraid that Britain, which is close at that time, will definitely not be able to withstand the German attack. β
"If Britain is destroyed, it should not be the United States and the Americas, according to Hitler's ambitions, he will not let go of the Americas, he will definitely want to bring all the white people of the world into the rule of Germany, but Germany is engaged in Great Germanic nationalism, then people except the Germanic nation will be exterminated, Mr. Truman, think that the world will become a hell on earth, you and your family will die tragically under the Nazi butcher's knife, do you know how terrible it is."
Truman said: "Even if Britain falls, I believe that the United States will defeat the ...... of Nazi Germany"
Marshall interrupted: "Mr. Truman, if you look at the flow of immigrants to the United States, every time a war breaks out in Europe, a large number of Europeans come to the United States, these people themselves are unwilling to serve in the military in their own country and have fled, and there are also those wealthy businessmen, if Germany really prevents millions of troops from attacking the United States, can they really be trusted, I am afraid that the United States has collapsed before the Germans have not yet fought." β
"And the Chinese will probably take advantage of the fire to rob at that time, their population accounts for a quarter of the world, there is a Chinese among the dead earthlings, how do you plan to resist China plus a Germany, their weapons are not as bad as the United States, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, there are irreconcilable contradictions between China and Japan, there is only one nation between them that can become rich and strong in Central Asia, at the moment China is strong, although there is no direct threat to the United States, but China wants to destroy the Soviet Union is equivalent to destroying the United States, So we must use the hand of the Japanese to contain the Chinese. β
"Besides, the world is white, and we don't want the yellow race to regain control of the world, even if it's half of it, so it's necessary to provoke contradictions between them."
Truman wanted to say something but there seemed to be nothing to say, and he still didn't want to do it from the bottom of his heart.
Marshall continued: "Mr. Truman, if China and Germany can be brought down, then the world will be American, our nation will inevitably shine on the world, the United States, which has not been devastated by the war, is incomparable to other countries, and after the victory of the war, we can also dismember Japan, China and the Soviet Union, so many people of other nationalities in their territory, I am afraid that they have long hoped that we will save them, and they desperately hope to get rid of the oppression of their government and gain independence." β
"There is no such thing as a big country like this, and all the countries are small countries like Britain and France, how can they use it to dominate the United States."
"Mr. Truman, giving up Australia is temporary, when China and Germany are killed, we can win over the Chinese and other countries dissatisfied with Japan to get rid of Japan, Australia will inevitably return to our hands at that time, the future of the United States is in your hands at the moment, as long as you get this thing done, not only the president of the United States is yours, the United States will dominate the world in your hands, as for the temporary abandonment of Australia, everyone knows that this matter is a strategy, and you have not given up the territory of the United States, No Americans will blame you, you will definitely want Washington, Lincoln, and Roosevelt to be the most popular president of the United States, and your name will definitely go down in history. β
Marshall's words were spitting, and Truman was yearning for him, and Truman thought for a moment and said, "I agreed." β
When Marshall heard this, he immediately pulled Truman's finger and said: "The hook is not allowed to change for a hundred years, and whoever changes is a puppy." β
Truman was stunned for a moment and didn't react, because this is not the established way of vows in the West, this is what Marshall learned in China, of course, Truman didn't expect Marshall to have such a childish side, he couldn't help laughing,
