In the White House, the atmosphere was quite relaxed and pleasant.

MacArthur won another great victory, conquering Tikrit, and completely annihilating a large battalion of troops defending the island.

In the past month or so, there have been many good news, and if the war continues like this, the Far Eastern Theater and the European Theater can end almost at the same time, and it is even possible that the European Theater will end earlier.

President Roosevelt's prestige reached new heights.

Since the start of the counteroffensive, the casualties have been extremely large, and the army is too strong, so some people have always advocated negotiating with the Black God Army and letting the Black God Army launch an attack in the northeast, but President Roosevelt vetoed it.

Now it seems that President Roosevelt's judgment was as correct as ever: the Black God Army must deal with the Kwantung Army and Manchukuo before the Soviet Union frees up its hands.

Although the Black God Army did not attack the Kwantung Army, it increased its investment in Southeast Asia, and after investing 3,000 special combat teams, more than a month ago, the Black God Army increased its attack, and they launched a larger-scale sabotage war in South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos at the same time.

The effect of the sabotage battle was unexpectedly good, and it was simply too great for the army to lead the way.

MacArthur's victory was certainly due to MacArthur's own outstanding military talent and the bravery of the young men, and honest Americans did not deny that the Chinese had made great contributions.

Roosevelt himself was proud, and he had to feel a sense of accomplishment when he defeated an opponent who was not easy to defeat, especially for a man like President Roosevelt.

The Black God Army was the toughest opponent to beat, but this time, he won a game.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Roosevelt naturally accepted the ubiquitous reverence.

Roosevelt was in a very happy mood as he gently turned the wine glass in his hand and watched the amber wine swirl with an indescribable brilliance.

Just then, the door opened, and Robert, special assistant to the president, walked in.

Robert's face was grim.

Everyone noticed Robert's face, and the room fell silent.

Robert has the face of a good old man, and he usually smiles, so his face suddenly became grim, naturally everyone knows that something is wrong, and it will never be small.

Roosevelt looked up, glanced at Robert, and didn't speak.

Arriving at Roosevelt, Robert handed over a document.

Roosevelt took the paper, put it on his lap and flipped through it.

Everyone was staring at Roosevelt's face.

Roosevelt was not an emotional person, usually he was angry, and he gave people the feeling that he was light, but at this moment, everyone knew that Roosevelt was angry and no longer had the slightest feeling of lightness.

After reading it, Roosevelt handed the document to Marshall.

There were seventeen or eighteen people in the room, so naturally everyone couldn't see it in person, Marshall read it, and didn't pass the document down, he put down the document and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the military has cracked a secret telegram from the book, and the book is debating whether to withdraw troops from the northeast to strengthen the strength of the country and Southeast Asia. ”

This is a big deal, of course, but there is a question on everyone's mind: Why was President Roosevelt angry?

It is not surprising that President Roosevelt reacted to any military deployment or adjustment, that is, he should not be angry.

Obviously, President Roosevelt's anger must have other reasons they didn't know.

After Marshall finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Roosevelt.

After pondering for a long time, Roosevelt said to Marshall: "General Marshall, order General MacArthur to suspend the offensive. ”

Without asking why, Marshall immediately went out and conveyed Roosevelt's orders.

When Marshall returned, Roosevelt fell back into deep thought.

The crowd needed an explanation.

When Roosevelt looked up again, his anger was gone, and he was at the same faint calm.

Looking at the crowd, Roosevelt said, "Gentlemen, if I am right, this should be instigated by the Chinese behind the scenes." ”

Everyone else was stunned, only Marshall, whose body was shocked, and he was the first to understand what Roosevelt meant.

Roosevelt continued: "The Chinese's plan began at the beginning of the year when they sent 3,000 special combat teams into battle, and they first made Yue Ben nervous, especially those wise Yue himself realized that Yue Ben had already failed, and there was no possibility of turning defeat into victory. After that, they made a suggestion to Yueben, and they suggested that the army should withdraw from the northeast and strengthen the forces of Yueben and Southeast Asia, so that we would be afraid of the war prolonging, and thus we would have to relax the conditions for the defeat and surrender of Yueben. ”

At this time, Marshall followed: "The withdrawal of troops from the northeast is not a simple matter, it is not a decision that can be made by the top management, and it must obtain the consent and support of the hardliners, or at least acquiesce." Therefore, in order to obtain the consent of the hardliners, the Chinese and Yue himself staged a play together, and the Chinese attacked and retreated, so that the hardliners could no longer insist on their claims. ”

After Marshall finished speaking, Secretary of State Hull asked, "Is it too late to pause the offensive?" ”

Marshall did not speak, and after a long time, Roosevelt sighed softly and said, "Pray God for your blessing." ”

"The Chinese deserve to die!" In the midst of the crowd, an old man with a fat head and big ears and gray hair cursed through gritted teeth.

The old guy looked hideous, and his curses were approved by almost everyone.

Incredibly, China and the United States do not have any conflict of interest, and the Chinese have never harmed the Americans, but the Americans hate the Chinese the most.

The Americans killed 80 million Indians, but they only killed them or hung them from trees; As for the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, which caused huge casualties to the United States, the Americans only imprisoned him in a concentration camp and confiscated his property.

However, for the defenseless Chinese in the United States, in addition to killing and hanging from trees normally, Americans also beat them to death with sticks, burned them with fire, cut off their heads, and were cut into pieces when they died.

This is incredible, but it fully shows that Americans' hatred of Chinese has reached an overwhelming level, and it is a kind of hatred soaked in the blood of Americans.

A few months ago, in an effort to better cooperate with China, Roosevelt signed an order repealing the infamous Chinese Exclusion Act, but the number of immigrants was strictly limited to 105.

Americans' fear, or hatred, of the Chinese can be seen from this.

For more than a month, the joy of victory had completely vanished, and Roosevelt's gaze was extremely gloomy.

-- For Comrade Roosevelt, this news was tantamount to eating a pot of flies, but compared with Comrade Stalin, Comrade Roosevelt was much better, because Comrade Stalin ate a pot of flies.

In the Kremlin, a whole day of deliberations was held, and the result was a way to buy.

Now it is true that some troops can be drawn, but these forces are far from enough to compete with the Chinese in the Far East, and once they fall out with the Chinese, if the Chinese come ruthlessly, it may affect the entire war situation.

China's instigation is supposed to be the same as that of the United States, and the same tactics can be applied to Germany and them, and if they provoke and China presses the border, it will be a big problem.

Germany is a tiger, and to fight a tiger is to kill the tiger in one go, and the tiger must not be given a chance to breathe.

What's more, in this matter, the Chinese are reasonable, and once they make a big fuss, they will not be people inside and out.

The Americans did not have a good idea of informing them of the news. Comrade Stalin finished scolding the Chinese, and then cursed the Americans.

Paralyzed, it's not a good thing!

-- As President Roosevelt's special envoy, Marshall went to Nanjing.

When Marshall informed him of Ben's movements, Chiang Kai-shek, like President Roosevelt, immediately thought through the whole thing.

For a time, Chiang Kai-shek overturned the five-flavor bottle in his heart, and the flavors were mixed.

Chiang Kai-shek became more and more interested in helping his American friends, but he also had no choice.

-- April 27, Changchun, Kwantung Army Headquarters.

Sitting face-to-face with Tang Xu, Okamura Ningji's mood began to complicate again.

Three days ago, after receiving the order from the base camp, Okamura Ninji breathed a sigh of relief and was relaxed, but now, facing Tang Xu, he was angry and unwilling...... All kinds of emotions came to my heart again.

The two worked out in detail the arrangements for the handover between the two sides.

-- On 28 April, the special combat team of the Black God Army launched a sabotage war did not leave a single one behind and completely retreated.

At the first time, the White House, the Kremlin, and the official residence of the Sun Yat-sen Cemetery all received reports.

Marshall sighed.

-- On 11 May, the army began to withdraw from the northeast.

China was shocked, the world was shocked, and there was a lot of talk about it.

Soon, the inside story surfaced.

No one needs to break the news, anyone with a brain can see what is going on, it must be some agreement between the Black God Army and [***] and Yuben.

Because the front foot of the army withdrew, [***] and the back foot of the Black God Army took over.

-- On 13 May, the Allied offensive resumed.

Roosevelt vomited blood.

The special combat team of the Black God Army withdrew, and Chiang Kai-shek's expeditionary force turned out to be like a different army, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

I don't blame Chiang Kai-shek for this, it's still the ghost of the Black God Army.

"The Northeast has been recovered, and it is not cost-effective to work hard with the book."

"Americans are not a good thing, let them fight with devils, the harder they fight, the better it is for us, and the less strength they have to bully us."

"Go fight the devil again, stupid!"

"The country is stable, it is about to become rich and strong, and I have a good life, waiting to go home and marry a wife!"

……………… At some point, these whispers spread throughout the barracks.

Fighting a war depends on one breath, not to mention, this breath is still so thorough, and the whole thing is that officers at all levels also disobey the orders of the upper peak, and do all the face-saving work.

Chiang Kai-shek was also helpless in this regard.

Not only that, Long Yun, the bastard, began to raise taxes again, and the prices of various materials rose wildly.

-- May 17, Nanyuan Airport.

Long Yun, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi arrived at about the same time, and the prime minister and Han Lihong personally came to pick up the plane.

Long Yun, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were in a super good mood.

In the past few years of war, Yunnan and Guangxi, especially North Vietnam, they thought that they would have to suffer great losses, but they never thought that they would lose a dime.

Moreover, not only did there be no loss, but also a lot of money.

This time, the Americans are strangled, and it is not only Yunnan that makes money, but also Guangxi, and Guangxi also gets a piece of the pie.

The army withdrew from the northeast, and after a few more days, even if they launched an attack on them, they would definitely be powerless to retaliate against them.

At this point, it can now be said that in this war, Yunnan and Guangxi have gained hundreds of benefits, but there is no harm.

In the picturesque garden, the wind is slanting and the willows are fine, and in the pavilion, five people sit around the table, eating and talking.

After taking a sip of wine, Bai Chongxi closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened them and sighed, "It's so comfortable!" ”

Everyone else laughed.

It's not the wine that's comfortable, it's the mood.

After chatting for a while, Li Zongren said to Long Yun: "Chairman Long, Myitkyina and Assam, you can't eat alone!" ”

Stunned for a moment, Long Yun said: "Delin, that place is high and densely forested, what are the benefits?" ”

Li Zongren said: "The Myitkyina Mountains are high and dense, and Assam is different." ”

Long Yun said: "I listen to Zhou Gong and Mr. Han about this, and they will do whatever they say." ”

Han Lihong didn't speak, and the prime minister sighed for a while, saying: "Yunnan and Guangxi were originally located on the border, but in the future, Yunnan and Guangxi must become the centers of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Great Southwest. ”

As soon as the prime minister said this, Long Yun, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were shocked.

They had heard this, but at that time they felt that it was too unrealistic, but now, the meaning of the same words is completely different, and more importantly, since Zhou Enlai said so, it also means that the Black God Army will increase investment in Yunnan and Guangxi.

This is too important for Yunnan and Guangxi.

Yunnan and Guangxi, Southeast Asia to the south, India to the west, Tibet to the northwest, Sichuan and Guizhou to the north, and Guangdong to the east.

Such a geographical location can be not only a remote frontier land, but also a world center.

From a poor country and a frontier place to becoming a world center, to achieve such a drastic transformation, Long Yun, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi all knew that it would be impossible without the help of the Black God Army.

The three of them were very excited.

The prime minister continued: "For Yunnan and Guangxi to develop well, the economy is very important, and we have a preliminary opinion on this, which is that you should unite more closely. ”

There is no problem with this, not to mention that there are some problems, and there is nothing to worry about compared to the benefits obtained, Long Yun glanced at Li Zongren and said: "Duke Zhou, Mr. Han, even if the two provinces are combined into one province, it is no problem, I am willing to let Xian." ”

After Long Yun finished speaking, Li Zongren also hurriedly expressed his position, meaning the same as Long Yun.

With a slight wave of his hand, the prime minister said, "It is not necessary to save money, but there must be an effective coordination body." ”

Long Yun said: "Zhou Gong, do whatever you say." ”

At this time, Han Lihong said: "There is a problem that is very urgent now, and we have to start preparing immediately. ”

Long Yun, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi were all stunned, and Li Zongren asked, "Mr. Han, what's the problem?" ”

Han Lihong said: "After this great war, the strength of the great powers has been almost consumed, and it is becoming more and more unrealistic for them to keep their colonies. I estimate that India may be able to read after the war, and once India reads, it may have to claim back the Assam region. ”

Li Zongren said: "Assam is very important to the security of Tibetan Province, and it has access to the Indian Ocean, so it cannot be missed. ”

Han Lihong nodded and said, "What Degong said is extremely true. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Bai Chongxi said disdainfully: "I don't think this problem is big, it's just that India has reading power, and they don't have the ability to threaten us." ”

"General Jiansheng, the question is not so simple." After a pause, Han Lihong said: "Now we have become a thorn in the side of the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and other Western powers, they will work together to deal with us, and India is a point where they may cooperate, we must take precautions to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Li Zongren's expression became solemn, and he said, "What Mr. Han said is true. ”

Long Yun said: "Mr. Han, what should we do?" ”

"We need to build railways and roads from Yunnan and Myitkyina to Assam as soon as possible." Han Lihong said: "The construction of railways and highways is closely related to the development of the economy of Yunnan and Guangxi, and we plan to establish a large steel enterprise in Yunnan or Guangxi in the form of a joint venture. ”

As soon as Long Yun, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi heard this, their eyes lit up.

-- Between heaven and earth, the snow is fluttering, and the cold wind is like a knife, scraping and cutting everything.

The White House was warm as spring, and the big fireplace crackled and wafted the fragrance of burning pine oil.

Roosevelt sat quietly in his wheelchair.

Roosevelt was older and weaker, but no one thought Roosevelt was old, and no one thought Roosevelt was weak.

No matter how old and weak Roosevelt was, there seemed to be a strength in his body that made him forget that he was old and that he was weak.

"Mr. President, I suggest negotiating with me, the casualties are too great." Marshall Road.

"Yes, Mr. President, General Marshall is right, we should negotiate with him." Secretary of State Hull followed.

Then, one heavyweight after another expressed a similar attitude.

Roosevelt's eyes remained closed as they spoke; No one spoke, and Roosevelt's eyes remained closed.

No one thought Roosevelt was rude, they waited quietly.

Finally, Roosevelt opened his eyes, shook his head, and said, "No, gentlemen, we can't negotiate with me now. ”

Speaking of this, Roosevelt paused for a moment and continued: "We cannot really intervene in the Far East without controlling the capital, this is an opportunity given by God to the Americans, and we must not give it up. ”

"It's a clown, but this clown is a very powerful clown, and besides, this very powerful clown is still a madman. They have lost the continent forever, and from now on, the sea is their only way out. If we can't control the book this time, then the book must be our enemy. ”

"One is not to be afraid of, but the one will block our real enemy, because if we can't control the book, we will fall into irretrievable strategic passivity."

Everyone was silent, and the Chinese's methods of turning over the clouds and rain made everyone too impressed.

"I will not allow this!"
