Chapter 351: The White House's New Strategy
White House, Washington, USA
Roosevelt sat quietly in a wheelchair, and on the máo blanket on his lap was a Washington Post, on which there was a chapter on which our Chief Su was bandaged and spoke with righteous words. The newspaper headline was accompanied by the headline written by Alice, the reporter of the article: 'Who else could be more despicable in a lie than this general?' ’
"Poof," Roosevelton laughed, "Our Xiǎo friend is really interesting, and now he is even more famous than me, the president of the United States!" ”
Beside him stood a blonde and blue-eyed n.v. in her thirties, none other than Margaret Lehand, Roosevelt's Sī secretary. When Roosevelt's secretary and lover saw this, he couldn't help but wrinkle his good-looking eyebrows and asked, "My dear, is there anything else worth our attention about this Chinese general?" ”
"Of course, Margaret, don't you think that this young general is becoming more and more statesmanlike?" Roosevelt asked with a laugh.
Margaret covered her mouth in surprise, "Oh God, don't you know his nickname?" 'Liars', oh my God! I never knew anyone could lie so boldly, and I had never seen such a seriously injured person so radiant! Would the people of their country be relieved to give their country to such a lying guy? ”
"Of course, why not?" Roosevelt asked rhetorically, "Isn't he good enough?" ”
"But, he's lying!" Margaret said in surprise.
Roosevelt reached out and picked up a stack of newspapers from his side, which were recent Chinese newspapers sent by Alice, "but the people of his country did not blame him, but praised him, didn't they?" ”
Roosevelt picked up the newspaper and casually pointed to a photograph and the headline on it, which read, "Blood My Hundred Years of National Shame, Raise My Country's Prestige to the World," and the photo below was a picture of burning Tokyo taken from an airplane.
"You see, the people of their country do not blame him, but compare him to a hero, and his popularity is growing in the country, and I think he will soon surpass the chairman of their political committee." Roosevelt continued: "Although I can't read Chinese, I have found someone to translate it, and you can look at it in the gap between writing newspaper articles." Margaret, do you think about the future of a general with great military and economic power, and who has won the trust and love of the people? That's a sure thing! ”
Roosevelt continued: "Now the Japanese are too ambitious, and it would be nice for someone to contain him!" In this way, we in the United States of America can ensure our interests in Asia. ”
"Okay, I'll admit that you men's thinking is really different from us NV people, I'll go and call Mr. Hawkins in now, he's been waiting for you for a while, don't you still have something to discuss?" Margaret twisted her waist and walked out.
After a while, Roosevelt's senior staff member Professor Hawkins walked in, Roosevelt smiled and motioned for him to sit down, and then said to Hawkins, who had just sat down: "Dear Mr. Hawkins, I don't know what you see in this bombing?" ”
"Bomber!" Hawkins's words were succinct, getting to the heart of the matter: "From this I see that the bombers of our great United States of America have fallen behind. Judging from the telegram sent by Ambassador Johnson in Japan, the losses caused by the bombing of the Chinese to Japan were enormous. The homelessness of hundreds of thousands of people and the 30 percent drop in military production and, more importantly, the tremendous blow he inflicted on the Japanese people and exacerbated the fear of the war. ”
"Yes!" Roosevelt nodded, "There's one more thing Hawkins you didn't mention, and that's another form of warfare, striking and weakening the enemy's war potential through bombing. Although the current China is nominally unified, it is still a fragmented country in essence, and such a kingdom is contrary to the interests we want to seek. Therefore we must cultivate a pro-American Chinese government, Hawkins, do you have any good way? ”
Looking at the mysterious smile on Roosevelt's face, Hawkins understood what he meant: "Are you optimistic about this 'liar'?" ”
Roosevelt finally couldn't help but laugh, "Hehe, Hawkins, it seems that you care about this xiǎo guy too." ”
"yes!" Hawkins also laughed when he heard this, shrugged his shoulders and said, "No way, this guy has been too famous lately." But I think he did it on purpose, this xiǎo guy is not as simple as it seems on the surface! ”
"Hawkins, in order to survive, each of us needs several masks, this is necessary for life, we all have no choice, this may be a way for the xiǎo guy to protect himself."
Speaking of this, Roosevelt took out a brand new book and handed it to him, "Look at it, Hawkins, this is a book written by that xiǎo guy sent by my xiǎo nephew NV Alice, the book is a description of Japanese society, ideology and beliefs, as well as human beings, in my opinion, this xiǎo guy's understanding of the Japanese has reached an incredible level." The day before yesterday, I gave this book to the Japanese scholars in the laboratory, and they were very surprised that it would be very useful for us to grasp the characteristics of the Japanese people. Hawkins, do you think the person who could write this book was a guy with no wisdom and a lot of nonsense? ”
After Hawkins took the book, he saw that the title of the book written on the cover of the book was a few big characters, "The Chrysanthemum and the Knife", opened the first page of the book, and gently read, "In the beginning, God gave each people a clay cup, and from this cup, people drank into their lives." No foreign country can order the people of another country to accept a certain way. This so-called living by oneself also allows others to live, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and developing together. ”
After turning a few pages, Hawkins couldn't help but smile wryly: "God, is this really the book written by the young man who is not yet thirty years old?" How do I feel like a book that can only be written by an old man who has gone through all the vicissitudes of life? ”
Roosevelt sighed, too, "But God just let it happen, and it's happening all around us." Hawkins, don't you think we need to make some changes to Huaxia's strategy after reading this book? ”
Hawkins also sighed and said with a smile: "Yes, isn't it too lonely to sail only the Japanese Combined Fleet in the vast Pacific Ocean?" ”
Both of them are smart people, and the words they say are as difficult to understand as a dumb riddle to others, but for people with extremely high IQs like them, sometimes a sentence will make the other party understand what they mean.
"yes, it's time!" Roosevelt nodded.
"Okay, then, Mr. President, are we going to start making contact with the biggest warlord in China?"
Hawkins was a little jumpy when he heard this, "You know, I'm very curious about that ancient country, and I've always wanted to go and see what kind of country can last for more than 5,000 years." ”
"Well, I think it's better for you to move as soon as possible, after all, now is the time when they need support, and we need a country that can curb the greedy ambitions of the Japanese in the Pacific." Roosevelt nodded and suddenly said, "Of course, our support is not without a price, such as"
"Like that kind of airplane technology, huh?" Hawkins said with a smile.
"Hahaha" both of them laughed after looking at each other
Su Tong didn't know that so many people were so interested in his new aircraft and himself, and now he was sitting in the operational command room of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters. At this moment, he had already taken off the bandages on his body, put on a brand new uniform, the stars on his shoulders were shining, and under him sat Luo Zhuoying and several other senior officers.
"Sir Su, since the Japanese troops outside the city learned the news of the bombing of Tokyo, they have all attacked our position like crazy. The positions everywhere are very tight, especially in Yanyutai, where the Japanese attack is the most fierce, and they are even more fierce under the command of Prince Hatohiko of Asakamiya, regardless of casualties, and now the casualties of the 42nd Division have reached more than 4,000 people! It's not good! ”
Luo Zhuoying's report made Su Tong frown: "What does this Prince Hatohiko of the Chaoxiang Palace want to do?" Is he crazy? You must know that they will definitely suffer more casualties than ours when they attack like this? ”
Su Tong pondered for a while, considering that the 42nd Division was a new unit after all, and such a high-intensity battle could not be fought for too long, so he ordered: "Order, the 42nd Division will withdraw to Nanjing for rest, let the 10th Division go up, and tell Peng Zeyuan that if it is fought well this time, it will be fine, if it is not good, I will settle the new account with him and the old one."
Peng Zeyuan, the commander of the 10th Infantry Division in Nanjing, was lying in front of the sand table in the division headquarters to do a deduction, and the correspondent sent Su Tong's order: "Sir, Chief Su ordered our department to immediately rush to Yuhutai to take over the position of the 42nd Division. ”
Peng Zeyuan knew in his heart that Su Tong was referring to the last time he disobeyed the order without authorization, if he fought well this time, everything would be easy to say, if he didn't fight well, then he would be punished for several crimes. "Okay, isn't it just to defend the smoke and rain platform? As for scaring me so much? You always threaten me with that! This time, I'll guard the smoke and rain platform and see what you say. Peng Zeyuan, who couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, muttered in his mouth, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly beckoned the whole division to assemble and prepare to go to Yanyutai to replace the 42nd Division.
