Seeing Han Yunhua taunting the British like this, all the people at the scene were empty-hearted, this Chinese general's mouth was too vicious, and everyone said that beating people didn't hit their faces, but this guy focused on hitting people's faces, and it was a dozen and a piece, which was really embarrassing.

Roosevelt saw that this was not a solution, and that the whole meeting could not become a special performance for Han Yunhua to ridicule the British, so he simply stopped this farce between the two sides, which was not a farce. Roosevelt's face Han Yunhua still had to be given, after all, he and Stalin were China's biggest financiers, and now China must get their support. So Han Yunhua looked at Churchill and the others very unwillingly and continued: "Opening up the second battlefield in Europe is of great significance, not only can relieve the pressure on the Soviet Union's Eastern Front, but also can accelerate the demise of Germany. I myself have full confidence in opening up the second battlefield in Europe this time, and I have a detailed battle plan for this, but I don't know if the presidents, prime ministers, and gentlemen have the courage to do so. ”

"General Han Yunhua, I know your strategic vision, but it is not easy to open up a second battlefield in Europe, you also know that now Germany's core strength is still arranged on the European continent, and Spain, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and other countries have become Germany's vassal states, and we are now under great pressure to open up a second battlefield in Europe, and the success is not high." President Roosevelt asked.

"Thank you, Mr. President, for your trust, but I have considered all of this, and I can assure you that as long as the Allies do not leak my battle plan, the opening of a second battlefield in Europe will be successful, and the German, Italian, and Japanese axes will soon be dismantled." Han Yunhua said in a surprising voice.

Although the meaning of Han Yunhua's expression is not very clear, there is one thing that all the senior leaders present can hear clearly, he Han Yunhua has full confidence in opening up the second battlefield in Europe, but he is worried that the allies will leak this military operation. Stalin and Roosevelt also thought that Han Yunhua's worries were very necessary, so they proposed to adjourn the meeting temporarily, and then Roosevelt and others invited Han Yunhua to the small conference room of the venue for a secret talk.

There were not many people who participated in the secret talks, only four people, Roosevelt, Stalin, Churchill, and Han Yunhua, and even Chairman Chiang and Vice Chairman Zhou were not qualified to participate in the secret talks.

Before he came, Han Yunhua had made all the preparations, and he first talked to the leaders of these big countries about the importance of opening up the second battlefield, but he mentioned it very simply, because these people were already familiar with the reasons and benefits of opening up the second battlefield in Europe, but they still did not have a very good grasp of opening up the second battlefield in Europe. Then Han Yunhua began to state his battle plan, and Han Yunhua did not say at the beginning where to log in and how many landing troops there were, but first led the battle to the south of Europe.

Stalin and the others looked at Han Yunhua in confusion and pointed to the small island on the map, not understanding why he would think of logging in to this Sicily, which was only the size of a fingernail.

"You are the real core leaders of the allies, so what I tell you is the most direct military plan, landing on the European continent is not as simple as people think, there are fewer people who go up will only give the Germans merit, and more will have to confront the German coastal defense forces head-on, and the casualties of the troops will be very large number. Therefore, before we open up the second battlefield in Europe, we must make the Axis countries collapse from within, we in China have a saying, fortresses are always broken from within, as long as the German-Italian alliance is over, then we are equivalent to one more springboard to attack Nazi Germany, and the Sicilian landing can completely allow us to achieve this goal. Han Yunhua said. …,

"Han, Sicily is a very important island, but it is only a small island in its importance, can it really threaten the German-Italian alliance?" Roosevelt asked again.

Han Yunhua said: "You must know that Mussolini's rule in Italy is not as good as before, if the Allies have not threatened Italy, maybe his rule can survive, but if the Allies take Sicily, then the whole Italy will fall into a complete panic, and then without the Allies to do it, the whole Italy will be completely divided internally." Coupled with years of war, the Italian economy is on the verge of collapse, with a national budget deficit of 87 billion lire, and only 36% of revenue and expenditure. There is a shortage of food plaques all over the country, the black market is rampant, and the people are struggling to make a living. The army was also in a "state of collapse", with a severe shortage of soldiers and low morale. After the fiasco at Stalingrad, Hitler refused to provide Mussolini with new aid, citing tensions on the Eastern Front, and forced Mussolini to continue conscripting troops to serve as cannon fodder. All of this was enough to bring Mussolini to his downfall, so we had to give a signal to the Italian ruling circles to abandon Mussolini as soon as possible and surrender to the Allies as soon as possible. ”

"Is it possible, Mussolini had already become the prime minister of Italy in 1922, and in 25 years he had been the leader, and it was impossible for a small island to bring him down!" Churchill Road.

Han Yunhua said with a smile: "Then why don't we make a bet, if I really force Mussolini to fall, Britain and the United States and the Soviet Union want to increase assistance to the Asian theater, especially to the Chinese Communists, I don't ask for much, 300 tanks, 200 aircraft, and 10 infantry divisions for each country." If I can get Italy to surrender, then the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain will each have to build a large-scale military project for the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and it will be said in advance that the Soviet Union is a tank manufacturing project, the United States is an aircraft manufacturing project, and Britain is a ship manufacturing project. I don't need you to take the country's most advanced weapons and equipment as a construction aid project, as long as it is not the kind of thing that has been thrown into the dustbin of history, it can be used to the Soviet BT series of tanks or the American P40 fighter jets, I don't know if you are interested in this. ”

Stalin smiled and said: "I won't fight with you in this bet, but if you can really complete what you just said, then on behalf of the Soviet Union, I promise to transfer all the information of the BT7 fast tank to you free of charge, and build a manufacturing base with an annual output of 200 tanks for you in the place you designated, I know that your industrial construction in Baotou is going very well, and the steel has met the requirements for making tanks, but the output is limited, So I'm going to build another big steel mill for you. ”

At this Cairo Conference, as long as a discerning person can see that many of the proposals put forward by Han Yunhua are beneficial to the Soviet Union, especially the opening up of a second battlefield in Europe, which has greatly reduced the pressure of the German army on the Eastern Front and really helped the Soviet Union a lot. Stalin had to meet Han Yunhua's demands in return, a demeanor that a leader of a great power must maintain.

"If Generalissimo Stalin is not willing to make a bet with this General Han, why did he promise to give him those things?" Churchill asked in surprise.

"Hehehe, I don't want to bet with General Han because I know that I will definitely lose this bet, I believe that Han Yunhua will definitely take Sicily, and at the same time can force Mussolini to step down and force Italy to surrender, although this is indeed a bit incredible, but the miracles created by General Han are more than these, I have some of them to him" Stalin did not finish the next words, but the meaning was very clear, since the big bet will undoubtedly lose, and the bait proposed by Han Yunhua is very tempting, Anyway, as long as Italy surrenders, how much troops and financial resources can the allies save, compared to this, the little weapons and equipment that support China and the backward things that aid is really not worth mentioning. …,

"General Han, if you can really complete what you said successfully, then even if you really build a large dockyard, it is nothing, although our British Empire will not hand over to you the technology of manufacturing battleships and aircraft carriers, but the manufacturing technology of light cruisers and destroyers, submarines and torpedo boats is still possible, but this must be after the surrender of Italy. But before that, what guarantee do you have to say that what you say is true, after all, the landing in Sicily is not a small battle, and here you can only mobilize our British Empire and American troops, and I am not willing to hand over our soldiers to a Chinese who are open-mouthed. Churchill said.

"What I Han Yunhua said is a guarantee, I think Generalissimo Stalin and President Roosevelt will believe me, and at the same time the two of them will also vouch for me, it will not take long to land in Sicily, at most a month, I don't think a month will cause much damage to the Allies, I wonder if Prime Minister Churchill dares to make this bet?" Han Yunhua continued to ask.

Churchill is also an old and cunning guy, how could he fall for Han Yunhua, thought about it and said: "I won't fight with you on this bet, but if you can really accomplish what you said, then on behalf of the British Empire, I promise to build a large dock for you Chinese communists, which can produce light cruisers and destroyers."

Churchill's answer made Han Yunhua cry and laugh a little, isn't this naked plagiarism, just now Stalin finished speaking, Churchill, the old guy, plagiarized. However, it has to be said that Churchill was indeed a statesman, and his level of observation was not ordinarily high. He knew very well that Stalin was not putting on a show just now, and he could see from Stalin's eyes that Han Yunhua should indeed give him some ability, so he simply didn't bet with Han Yunhua and used the same method to let Han Yunhua work for the allies. Although the outcome is not much different from a bet, it is different to say that losing a bet and volunteering are two different concepts.

As a result of the final discussion, Han Yunhua became the chief of the General Staff of the Allied North African Theater, responsible for formulating all the plans for the Sicily landing battle, and the specific implementation was commanded by the famous American general Eisenhower. If it can really achieve the expected results mentioned by Han Yunhua, then the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain will voluntarily assist the CCP with the equipment of 30 infantry divisions, 900 active tanks and 600 active fighters, and at the same time help build a large number of military facilities for the Chinese Communists.

On 12 February, China, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain jointly issued a statement as follows: "President Roosevelt, Chairman Chiang, Prime Minister Churchill, and Generalissimo Stalin, together with the military and diplomatic advisers of each country, have held a meeting in North Africa. This pressure is already growing. The purpose of the war waged by our five allies this time is to stop and punish Japan's aggression, and the five countries will never seek profit for themselves, nor will they have any intention of expanding their territory. The purpose of the Five States was to deprive Japan of all the islands in the Pacific Ocean that Japan had seized or occupied since the beginning of World War I in 1914; to return to the Republic of China the territories that Japan had stolen from China, such as the four northeastern provinces, Taiwan, the Penghu Islands, the Ryukyu Islands, etc.; and expelling from Japan any other land which Japan has seized by force or greed; Our three or five allies, knowing the slavery treatment of the Korean people, decided to make Korea free and independent for a certain period of time. In accordance with the objectives identified above, and consistent with the objectives of the United Nations in the war against Japan, our three allies will persevere in their major and protracted war in order to obtain the unconditional surrender of Japan"...,

Immediately afterward, the Chinese side separately issued a separate "Proclamation on the Declaration of War against Japan," the main contents of which were: "All treaties, agreements, and contracts involving Sino-Japanese relations shall be abolished."

Although Han Yunhua knew that the Cairo Declaration itself was only a wartime goal of the allies and had little legal effect, it was an important meeting for the allies to form a complete military alliance, and the terms of the Cairo Declaration would be added to the "Potsdam Proclamation" in the near future, and confirmed by the heads of state of China, the United States, and the United Kingdom, as a condition for the unconditional surrender of the allies to Japan, which was still extremely meaningful.

After the Cairo Conference ended, Chiang Kai-shek, Vice Chairman Zhou, and others quickly returned to China by special plane, while Han Yunhua was left behind in Cairo. Vice Chairman Zhou was very dissatisfied with Han Yunhua's stay in Cairo, and when Han Yunhua informed Vice Chairman Zhou of the agreement between himself and the heads of state of the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain, Vice Chairman Zhou was even more anxious. Clearly criticizing Han Yunhua for not making his own opinions, such a big thing is not child's play, commanding the Allied troops to attack Italy and commanding the Inner Mongolia Military Region troop formation are two different concepts, first of all, some coalition forces of several countries will not buy his account at all, let alone say that it is impossible for him to know much about these allied forces, and these most basic things are still a fart battle.

However, Han Yunhua was still very confident in himself, and he persuaded Vice Chairman Zhou that if he was not completely sure, he would not carry a Haikou with Churchill and others, let alone let the British not be able to step down on such an occasion.

In the end, Vice Chairman Zhou left, leaving only Han Yunhua with a special operations team of guards to protect Han Yunhua's safety. Before leaving, he specially told Han Yunhua that if he couldn't do anything, he would return to China immediately, and he would not be embarrassed if he wanted to come to Britain and the United States and other countries.

In order to ensure the suddenness of the landing battle, Han Yunhua ordered the Allied forces to covertly mobilize a large number of land, navy, and air forces from various places, especially from the United States, and demanded that the Allied forces have absolute superiority in strength and always be in a favorable position of attacking the weak with the strong. In addition, Han Yunhua also specially ordered the Allied intelligence department to quietly send the body of an Allied staff lieutenant colonel to the coast of Spain, and the body that looked like an Allied staff officer carried documents related to the attack on Sardinia and Greece. At the same time, Han Yunhua ordered all the Allied forces in North Africa to besiege the French colonies in Africa, and at the same time launched an all-round encirclement and suppression of the remnants of Germany and Italy in Africa.

Han Yunhua's deception tactics were successful, and soon the original and translated versions of the war document were sent to Hitler's desk. After receiving information from German intelligence, Hitler misjudged where the Allies might land and transferred the main German forces to Sardinia and Greece.

Historically, the Allies also implemented similar battle plans, but Field Marshal Kesselring, the commander-in-chief of the German Southern Front, saw through the Allied plan and realized that the Allies were very likely to attack Sicily, so the German Goering Panzer Division and the 15th Panzer Infantry Division were sent to Sicily to strengthen the island's defenses. Before the Allied landings in Sicily, the Italian 6th Army, which defended Sicily, had 9 Italian divisions and 2 German panzer divisions, with a total strength of about 255,000 men, under the command of Italian general Guzzoni. But now, because Han Yunhua continued to send large armies on the African continent to encircle and suppress the remnants of German and Italian forces on the African continent, Marshal Kesselring thought that the Allies wanted to stabilize the order in Africa before attacking Europe, so that the Axis forces made a huge mistake in judgment.

Eisenhower, as the commander-in-chief of the Sicilian landings, agreed with Han Yunhua's deployment, although he did not like this sharp-edged Chinese general in terms of personality, but in terms of operational command, this Chinese general who was 15 centimeters shorter than him was the most powerful Chinese general he had ever seen, even the British General Montgomery was much worse than this Chinese general.
