Chapter 1221 The plan to surround Hu Bin
1221 Marshall and Roosevelt were talking in the office, and Marshall also told him the idea of handing over the troops to Hu Bin's command.
He wants to train a force that can really fight, especially the commander, whether the unit can fight or not has a lot to do with the commander, and the commander of the United States, when facing the Japanese troops, rarely takes the initiative to attack, is passive defense, and misses a large number of fighters.

"That's what you think?" Roosevelt heard it, thought about it carefully, looked at Marshall and asked.
"Yes, I think so, and I don't want to do it either, but now those generals below have not fought for too long, and I believe that they will definitely not be so timid when they fight abroad, but at home, they dare not fight, because behind them are the people, and they dare not make a mistake.
However, in war, it is impossible not to make mistakes, and not to make mistakes means to fight conservatively, and in this way, we will not be able to defeat the Japanese troops.
Because the current way of fighting of the Japanese troops is to restrain our troops, they occupy a place and then slaughter, which makes the pressure on our commanders even greater, they dare not make any mistakes easily, and they dare not take the initiative to attack, because we cannot afford to lose! Marshall began.
"Damn it!" Roosevelt heard it and said something.
"I do not agree with the creation of a joint command. Once the joint command is established, it may cause Hu Bin's dissatisfaction, because he does not trust our commander, and he is afraid that after his troops are surrounded, our troops will not dare to go to the rescue, so he has the command of our troops.
If we set up a joint command, Hu Bin may retreat with his troops and no longer care about our eastern front, or just fight on the periphery, and not care about how our troops are fighting on the front line. Marshall looked at Roosevelt and spoke again.
"What if I promised our troops that they would come to the rescue of his troops?" Roosevelt looked at him and asked again.
"He won't believe it, if he believes it, he won't be Hu Bin, and such a guarantee is not credible at all for a general who has been fighting outside for a long time, it's me, if someone gives me such a guarantee, I don't believe it either." Marshall shook his head.
"Damn, there's no other way?" Roosevelt looked at Marshall and said.
"Nope!" Marshall shook his head firmly.
"No, I still feel that this is very risky, you know, we don't have many veterans on the Eastern Front, if these veterans suffer too many casualties, we don't have many veterans in the United States, how can we fight at that time?" Roosevelt heard it and looked at you Marshall asked.
"I also know, but I really have no choice, I can't convince Hu Bin. No one was able to convince Hu Bin. Marshall began.
"In this way, you are worried about Hu Bin, not against this joint command." Roosevelt heard it, looked at Marshall and said.
"I don't object, but I'm a little worried that the joint command may have a conflict with Hu Bin's operational concept, who should listen to when the time comes, Hu Bin has a lot of experience in combat, and many of our commanders don't dare to fight, and they will freeze when the time comes.
So, if we want to set up a joint command, I don't agree with having MacArthur as our commander, it's okay to use Patton, Patton and Hu Bin cooperate a lot, if you insist on using MacArthur, I reserve my opinion.
At the same time, if you want to let MacArthur pass, you must first seek Hu Bin's consent, if Hu Bin does not agree, MacArthur will pass, there is no way at all! Marshall began.
"Damn it! Convince Hu Bin, convince Hu Bin! Roosevelt heard it, and slowly analyzed it there, thinking about how to convince Hu Bin.
"There is no way, I have thought a lot, including giving money, not giving Chinese aircraft carriers, Hu Bin cherishes his soldiers very much, so his soldiers dare to fight, as long as Hu Bin's order is given, his troops dare to charge no matter what is in front, because his soldiers know that Hu Bin will not let his troops go to death.
The soldiers believed in him, and he would not trade his soldiers' lives for the safety of his soldiers, so there was no solution to this matter. Marshall looked at Roosevelt and said.
"If we insist on doing this, Hu Bin will oppose it? If he opposes the retreating troops, if he opposes them, we ask him not to retreat the troops, is it possible, the most uneven is that Hu Bin and we will fight each other, is it okay? Roosevelt looked at Marshall and said.
Marshall heard it and remembered.
"I feel that it is okay, because they are here to help us fight, we now have so many devil troops on the Eastern Front, he has come to the Eastern Front, he can't retreat without fighting, right?
Of course, if Hu Bin has any suggestions, we will also listen to them, let MacArthur pass, I will explain MacArthur, and listen to Hu Bin's opinions, so that it may be possible? Roosevelt looked at Marshall and said.
"If that's the case, then we have to make it clear to Hu Bin that his troops will fight according to the contract we signed before, and we will also make sure that his troops will not be surrounded.
At the same time, if we want to give Hu Bin some of our troops, I mean, not all of them, but give him troops in a few places, and let him move, which may work.
For example, if we hand over the troops in Chicago, Madison and Fort West, and Milwaukee to Hu Bin, and the troops in other places, we will hand over the command of MacArthur, so there may be no problem! Marshall thought for a moment and said to Roosevelt.
"Do you mean to say that if you give Hu Bin a part of the troops, appease Hu Bin, and each have a step down, MacArthur will go to Chicago and set up a joint command with Hu Bin?" Roosevelt asked, looking at Marshall.
"Can't you just let MacArthur pass?" Marshall asked, too.
"Well, what you said is okay, we can give him some troops, and the rest of the troops, or under our own control, but if you don't send MacArthur over, are you worried that he will have a conflict with Hu Bin?" Roosevelt heard Marshall's suggestion and nodded in satisfaction, but he had a problem with whether or not to send MacArthur over.
"Yes!" Marshall nodded and said.
"I don't think you have to worry, we can tell MacArthur to let him respect Hu Bin, attach importance to Hu Bin's opinions, and handle relations with Hu Bin.
If he is not allowed to go over and transfer other generals to command, I think MacArthur will have an opinion, after all, he is in command on the Eastern Front, and now he is mobilizing another general to go over, and it will not be easy to divide the troops at that time.
In my opinion, it is still possible to do as I say, send a telegram to MacArthur, and tell him to be cautious himself! Roosevelt looked at Marshall and said.
Marshall heard him say this, thought about it for a while, and it was indeed a troublesome thing to change generals on the spot, and to divide the troops, and now he could only hope that MacArthur would be able to restrain himself.
After Roosevelt and Marshall finished talking, Marshall wrote a telegram with their opinions and sent them to Hu Bin, hoping that Hu Bin would accept them, and put them forward in the telegram, and he could put forward any opinions.
"Brother Bin, Marshall's telegram!" Mo Shot came over with a telegram and said to Hu Bin.
Hu Bin heard it, took the telegram and read it.
"Hah!" After Hu Bin saw the telegram, he sneered.
"Brother Bin, it's not good news, what is the use of the troops in these 4 cities now, that is, 150,000, for us?" Mo Jian looked at Hu Bin and said.
"It's useful, of course it's useful, Marshall is not easy, this commander-in-chief did it!" Hu Bin smiled, shook his head and said.
He knew that this condition must have been fought over by Marshall and Roosevelt, because Marshall had never sent a telegram to himself before, and the telegram he was sending now was also different from the one Roosevelt had sent before, indicating that Marshall had fought for this condition.
"Brother Bin, what should I do?" Mo Jian looked at Hu Bin and said.
"Cold salad!" Hu Bin stood up and said indifferently.
At this time, in the Japanese Eastern Front Command, in the city of Toronto, Nara Takeji had already mobilized troops, this time in order to besiege Hu Bin's troops, Nara Takeji mobilized 120 troops from the front line and Canada, the purpose was to besiege Hu Bin's troops, among them, from the United States' troops, 500,000 were mobilized, 700,000 were mobilized from Canada, and began to surround Hu Bin's side.
"Commander, all the troops have been dispatched, and it is expected that in three days, we will be able to form an encirclement, but now that there are Chinese reconnaissance planes in the air, it is expected that in the morning of the day after tomorrow, their reconnaissance planes will be able to discover that our troops are surrounding them.
In this case, Hu Bin's troops may retreat from the west, and it will not be so easy to surround them at that time! A lieutenant general looked at Nara Takeji and said.
"Starting tomorrow, a large number of fighter planes will be dispatched to Hu Bin's side, and we will not only kill Hu Bin's air force, but also their reconnaissance plane unit, so as to ensure that Hu Bin's air force unit does not dare to come to our side." Takeji Nara spoke.
"Yes!" The lieutenant general nodded and said.
"Of the 300,000 troops, we have 1.2 million troops, even if the whole army is wiped out, as long as we can kill Hu Bin's 300,000 troops, we will win!" Nara Takeji said, looking at the map.
"Hey!" The staff officers in the back nodded and spoke.
"Tomorrow, Hu Bin's troops will definitely continue the offensive, and order all our troops near the cities that Hu Bin is now seizing to be on my guard. Don't let Hu Bin's troops defeat our troops easily, if you can bring a lot of casualties to Hu Bin's troops, it will also be a credit! Nara Takeji looked at the senior staff officers below and said.
