Chapter 1264 Captive
1264 Hu Bin was thinking about those prisoners, he was thinking about what to do, the staff officers below tended to sell those prisoners, or bringing them back would not only delay the time for Xiang Feng's troops to come back, but the United States would not thank him much, and the money given was very small!
"So, somebody, send a telegram to Roosevelt and ask what to do with the captives over there in Toronto, there are now nearly 200,000 captives there, and our troops are less than 100,000, and it will take three to five days to bring them back. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For my troops, this adds a lot of danger, and I would like to ask President Roosevelt and Chief of Staff Marshall what we should do with these prisoners, whether to release them or kill them.
If it is killed, please send troops over to carry it out, my troops do not carry out such an order, if it is sold, we will start talks with the Japanese side! Hu Bin said to his staff officer.
"Brother Bin, can they agree? I guess they'll want us to bring it back! A senior staff officer heard it and immediately said to Hu Bin.
"Don't worry about it for now, I can't bring it back, bring it back, there was an accident, who is it? Does he dare to take this responsibility? There are millions of Japanese troops in the south, and if they kill them, Xiang Feng's troops are estimated to be impossible! Hu Bin said to the senior staff officer.
"Okay, I'll send a telegram and see what the United States wants to do!" The staff officer heard this, nodded, and went to send a telegram.
"Brother Bin, did you say that the Mi Congress agreed to our sale?" Another senior staff officer looked at Hu Bin and asked.
"If you don't agree, you have to agree, and now we're telling him, not asking for their opinion!" Hu Bin said.
"However, the telegram you sent just now seems to be asking for their opinions!" Mo Jie also spoke.
"Hmph, ask for their opinions, I just let them choose, but what's the use of them choosing, they want to bring those prisoners back, they have the ability to let their troops pass, they can kill them if they want, and let their troops pass, my troops don't carry out, they can only sell!" Hu Bin snorted coldly and said to Mo Shot.
When they heard it, they could only nod, and now they don't know if what Hu Bin said will work.
Soon, Roosevelt received a telegram from Hu Bin.
"Sold it, then what's going on, these are Japanese troops, once they are let go back, they can continue to fight, damn it, what does Hu Bin think?" Roosevelt said irritably.
Today he was indeed very irritable, originally thought that MacArthur would support him, but he didn't expect that he actually suggested that he should not change Marshall, and also said that in the United States, no one is more suitable to be the chief of staff than Marshall, which makes him a little difficult to ride a tiger.
Marshall has already been offended here, and there are no troops over there to support him, and now MacArthur does not support him, and several other commanders probably will not support him, so he regrets it a little now, and listened to the advice of those staff!
And now Hu Bin has sent such a telegram, which adds fuel to the fire.
"How can it be sold, those are enemies, they are the enemies of our country, they all have the blood of our people in the country, and now they actually say that they are sold, whether he Hu Bin came to the country to help us or to help Japan, how can he have such an idea?" A cabinet official immediately shouted.
They were very dissatisfied with Hu Bin's idea of selling those captives.
"Come on, prepare the car, I'm going to the staff, damn it!" Roosevelt shouted angrily.
Now when he calls Marshall to come over, he will definitely not come, so Roosevelt can only go over in person and talk to Marshall, not only about this matter, but also about the matter he is here to talk about today, he feels a little bad, if he doesn't handle it well, this president may not be able to be the president.
Therefore, he has to deal with this matter today, if all the generals know that they want to replace Marshall, then it will not be Marshall who will be replaced at that time, but himself. Thinking of this, he had no choice but to go to Marshall's side again.
On Marshall's side, he had also received a telegram and was discussing the matter with the generals.
"What should I do, Hu Bin said, I can't bring it back, and it is estimated that it will take several days to bring it back, the Japanese troops may follow up and kill Hu Bin's troops, and now Hu Bin's troops want to retreat, he said before, we still have hundreds of thousands of troops over there, we can let the troops go over to defend Toronto, and look at those prisoners over there?" Marshall asked, sitting in the conference room, looking at the generals.
"See in Toronto? That doesn't work, it's too dangerous, Toronto is far from our lines, and if the Japanese troops are going to besiege there, our troops will be in a desperate situation.
Moreover, those prisoners will be rescued by Japan, and we have to take in hundreds of thousands of troops for those prisoners, which is not cost-effective! When an admiral heard this, he immediately disagreed.
"Yes, the key is that Hu Bin's troops can't be brought back now, if they can be brought back and put behind Detroit to watch, I think our troops will have no problem, but now Hu Bin's troops can't be brought back, and they can't be killed.
Hu Bin's troops rarely kill prisoners, I heard that they have been killed in China, but there are also times, and this time it is 200,000 prisoners, I guess Hu Bin will not kill, and our troops will kill, can it be done? The other general looked at Marshall and the other generals as he spoke.
"How can you kill like this? 200,000 soldiers, killed like this, what is the difference between our country and Japan, in fact, after Hu Bin helped us capture a lot of devil captives on the Western Front, the Japanese captured our soldiers, they didn't dare to kill them easily, and if they wanted to kill, they were also sneaky! Another lieutenant general spoke.
"Then let Hu Bin sell those captives now? Roosevelt would definitely not agree, now he is looking for the commander's handle, if this is known to him, he uses it, won't the commander be finished? The other generals were there and began to talk.
And Marshall was there touching his head, quite worried, he didn't know what to do, Hu Bin would not take risks, this Marshall knew very well that he would not put his troops in danger, but he was not willing to let Hu Bin sell those prisoners.
Toronto can't hold on, if there is no help from Hu Bin's troops, it is impossible for that side to hold it, so now he is also thinking, next, what to do, Roosevelt he doesn't have to think about it, he must hope that Hu Bin will bring those prisoners back.
"Damn it!" Marshall scolded irritably, feeling that Hu Bin kept giving him those problems, and those problems made the relationship between him and Roosevelt worse and worse, and now he was on the verge of breaking up!
"Commander, Hu Bin's side, we can't control it, it seems that according to our previous agreement, Hu Bin's spoils of war belong to Hu Bin, that is to say, those prisoners, if we want, we also have to give Hu Bin money, although we don't take much, but we also want to give it.
Also, even if Hu Bin releases those prisoners, we can't care, this is our previous agreement with Hu Bin, and if we don't abide by it, we can't do it! One of the admirals said to Marshall.
"Yes, okay, now it depends on what Roosevelt thinks, if he insists on Hu Bin bringing those captives back, or killing them, then let him find a way, this matter, now we have no way!" Marshall heard it, nodded and said.
At this time, Marshall's secretary came over and said to Marshall, Roosevelt is coming, and the generals heard it and looked at Marshall.
"Let him go to my office, adjourn!" Marshall heard it, stood up, and spoke to them.
When they came out, they happened to see Roosevelt coming with several of his staff.
Those generals saw it, they didn't speak, they left directly, they are all generals of the United States, except that the appointment of the chief of staff has something to do with the president, the president can't influence the affairs of the troops, including their promotion, even if Marshall was taken down by Roosevelt as chief of staff, Marshall is still a general, and he is still a soldier.
So those generals didn't pay much attention to Roosevelt when they saw him coming, because they felt that Roosevelt's neck was a little longer!
And Roosevelt and his aides saw it, and they were even more dissatisfied with Marshall, they thought that Marshall had said something to the generals, but Roosevelt had a deeper concern, because the generals didn't seem to believe him anymore, which was not a good sign.
"This way, please!" Marshall smiled at Roosevelt, then made a gesture of invitation and asked them to come to his office.
When he arrived at Marshall's office, Marshall sat in his place, as if declaring himself to be the owner of the office.
"Your Excellency, I don't know what you have come to do here, are you here to announce my dismissal? If yes, please say, I'm ready! Marshall smiled at Roosevelt.
"No, I'm not here for this matter, and I didn't say that I want to be dismissed, I just want to ask, for the telegram sent by Hu Bin, I think you should have seen it, what do you think about this?" When Roosevelt heard this, he immediately shook his head, then looked at Marshall and asked.
"We have indeed discussed this matter, but it seems to be very difficult!" Marshall heard it and spoke. (To be continued.) )
