Chapter 1315 We don't have a choice
1315 Patton was very anxious, he was worried that there would be a loss on the Western Front, and then the United States would be in trouble, so he wanted to persuade Hu Bin to transfer all the troops over!
"There is no problem on the Western Front, the Japanese troops, at most, go to Salt Lake City, Salt Lake City has already been fought once, and it has not had time to build, so there is nothing for this place to be attacked again, there are not many troops over there, and there are not many people, besides, whether I can go to Salt Lake City depends on whether I let them come over!" Hu Bin looked at Barton with a smile and said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Commander, I think you may not be able to say this, Japan has 2 million troops over there, and we may not be able to hold it at that time!" Barton said anxiously.
"Then let me ask you, how many troops do we have over there? Why do you say that you can't hold it, I have 300,000 troops over there, plus this transfer, it is 400,000 troops, you have 400,000 troops over there, and this time I transferred more than 200,000 troops, adding up to more than 1 million troops.
More than 1 million troops defend, there are new troops behind you, why can't you hold it, Japan's 2 million troops, it is impossible for all of them to be put into the attack, we have been operating the defense line for so long, and there are mobile troops, why can't we hold it? If you can't hold it, what are the troops on the front line doing?
Mobilize the troops on our side in the past, and add up to more than 2 million and 3 million troops, and we used to defend? Hu Bin looked at Barton and asked.
"But why don't we go over there and attack? Why are you staring at the side of the Eastern Front, the Japanese troops on the Eastern Front will not attack, we have finished fighting on the Western Front, and we can come back to the Eastern Front! Barton looked at Hu Bin and spoke, and his translator also translated the words to Hu Bin.
"Hah, I'm running around!" Barton heard it and said with a smile.
"What? Commander, you talk like this, I don't think it's right, you are ignoring our people on the Western Front, you are the commander of the coalition forces, you should protect our people! When Barton heard Hu Bin say this, he immediately stood up and shouted loudly at Hu Bin, and the generals outside heard it and looked at it.
"I don't need to take care of those people, I just take care of the war, it's your business to take care of the people, I'm here to be the commander, not to defend, he Okamura Ningji fights him, I fight mine, and, how to fight, I have the final say!" Hu Bin also stood up and said to Barton.
"You, you, I'm going to complain to you like the president and the chief of staff!" When Barton heard Hu Bin say this, he was quite anxious and went out immediately.
And when Hu Bin saw him go out, he shook his head, sighed, and sat down.
Soon, Roosevelt and Marshall received a telegram from Patton, and now they knew that Japan might attack on the Western Front, and Hu Bin's main force was on the Eastern Front, and the main force of the United States was also there.
"Damn it!" Roosevelt saw Patton's telegram and cursed, and now he doesn't know what to say, persuading Hu Bin to go to the Western Front, it may not work, because Hu Bin definitely doesn't mean this,
Otherwise, Barton would not have sent a telegram to this side, but if Hu Bin was not persuaded to go to the Western Front, then the Western Front would be lost, and the entire city on the Western Front would be bombed by Japan, and the people over there would also suffer.
"What now?" Roosevelt looked at his staff and asked.
"Your Excellency, I think it's best to ask General Marshall to come over!" One of the staff members said to Roosevelt.
"Well, come on, go and ask General Marshall to come over!" Roosevelt spoke.
"Yes!" The secretary heard and prepared to go out,
At this time, another secretary came in and said to Roosevelt: "General Marshall has just called, and he will come here soon!" ”
"Okay, then don't fight!" Roosevelt heard it, nodded, and spoke to the secretary who started.
"Yes!" The secretary nodded.
"What does Hu Bin mean, and he said that he doesn't care about the people of our country, he only cares about fighting, what does this sentence mean, we ask him to fight, the purpose is to protect the people of our country, not to ignore the people!" Roosevelt looked at the aides and asked,
When those staff heard it, they didn't speak, they just looked at each other, they didn't know what to say now, and they still didn't understand Hu Bin, and they didn't know what Hu Bin's purpose was!
"Let's talk about it, there's nothing to be afraid of!" Roosevelt looked at them and said.
"Your Excellency, it's hard for us to guess that Hu Bin is not our general after all. And this is related to two countries, so now we still have to figure out what Hu Bin means, if we have a stalemate with him now, it will be detrimental to our country.
Now that our troops are in his hands, we can't bring those troops back, so what about the agreement? How are we going to get them to help us fight in the future? A cabinet official spoke.
"Why can't we be transferred back, these troops are not Hu Bin's troops, they are our troops of the United States, we have the right to transfer them back, if he doesn't help us defend the Western Front, can't we defend it ourselves?" One of Roosevelt's aides retorted.
"I don't feel good, in this case, we will not believe in our words, Hu Bin will not cooperate with us in the future, now what we have to figure out is not the attack on the Japanese side, but whether Hu Bin can hold it, as long as he can ensure that there is no problem on our western front, then these are not things, the front line fights, their generals know best!" Another cabinet official spoke.
"General Patton is not sure, and if he is sure, he will send this telegram back?" Another staff member looked at him and asked.
"Let's wait for General Marshall to come over, I think it's best to listen to General Marshall's opinion!" When the other cabinet officials heard this, they immediately said,
It's not that they don't want to transfer Hu Bin's troops, but they hope that the Western Front can hold it, and if it is handed over to Patton to defend, their cabinet officials don't believe that they can hold it.
Because if there was no Hu Bin before, he almost lost, and now Hu Bin is preparing to attack the Japanese troops with millions of troops, at this time Hu Bin doesn't care about the Western Front, and they don't know what to say.
But there is one thing, they believe that it is better to let Hu Bin command the war than to let Patton command the war, and Patton will definitely fail over there, so Hu Bin will not be able to defeat there, so what they mean is that they hope to find out whether Hu Bin's side can do it or not, and if it works, even if Hu Bin is sure to kill some of the Japanese troops, they would rather believe Hu Bin.
At this time, Roosevelt, who was sitting on it, saw the performance of those cabinet officials, and immediately thought that those cabinet officials now support Hu Bin, or rather, they support Marshall! He couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, this is not a good thing for him,
These cabinet officials were all selected by him, and now those people actually support Marshall, then his position will be very troublesome at that time. Therefore, Roosevelt saw the situation and did not speak, but waited there, waiting for Marshall, wanting to hear what he would explain the matter!
Soon Marshall came over, and after greeting Roosevelt, Roosevelt asked him to say what he thought of the telegram back from Patton.
"I read the telegram, I also thought about it, I believe that Hu Bin can handle it well, Hu Bin said before, our side cannot interfere with his command, the entire plan to attack Japan, we cannot interfere, this is an agreement.
Moreover, Hu Bin has already dispatched the most powerful First Army in his hand to go, which shows that he is concerned about the war on the Western Front, and I believe that there will be no major problems on the Western Front.
In addition, before I came, I also telegraphed with Patton, and I asked him what Hu Bin said, and Patton also said, Hu Bin said that the Japanese troops can go to Salt Lake City at most.
So, don't worry, since Hu Bin said so, then he must be sure, now that we let him fight with our troops, we have to believe him, and we can only believe him now! Marshall stood there and spoke.
"You make us believe him so much, General Marshall, there are 2 million Japanese troops on the Western Front, and the defensive troops over there, plus the troops sent by Hu Bin, are only 1 million, and there are about 1 million Japanese troops on the Eastern Front, and Hu Bin has more than 2 million troops here, what is going on? Will normal military operations be deployed like this? One of the staff members immediately confronted Marshall. Roosevelt heard it and looked at him!
"Yes! Concentrate superior forces and gather the enemy to annihilate! Marshall nodded and said.
"What? So, then you mean to say that Japan is also thinking the same way on the Western Front, and we don't have more troops over there? Let the Japanese troops gather and annihilate our troops? The staff member spoke.
"You don't understand military affairs, I don't want to fight with you, Your Excellency President, I believe in Hu Bin!" Marshall did not reply to the staff's words, but spoke to Roosevelt.
"Why believe him?" Roosevelt looked at Marshall and asked.
"No one can do it better than him! If we send any general over there, there is a possibility of defeat, and Hu Bin is over there, at most defeated. At the very least, the devils on the eastern front will be annihilated, and it will be okay for Hu Bin's troops to continue to advance westward at that time, so now we can only believe Hu Bin! Marshall looked at Roosevelt and said.
"Damn, we put the security of a country in the hands of a foreigner, and you still believe in him so much?" Roosevelt heard it and said with great dissatisfaction.
"We don't have a choice, this is our only chance!" Marshall also looked at Roosevelt and said! (To be continued.) )
