As the saying goes, it's not too late to make amends. However, this sentence was applied to the political axe of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, but at this moment, it did not play any role. At the same time when the organs and departments of the military command in various parts of the country, under Dai Li's order, rushed to various newspaper offices to prepare to close down those newspaper offices that were unfavorable to the party-state propaganda, although the military commander's sudden attack caught a lot of newspaper personnel. However, the newspapers promoting the Eighth Route Army have already sold millions of copies. Almost every Chinese, at this moment, knows about the military parade held by the Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan, and all know the tremendous achievements that the Eighth Route Army has achieved in the rear of Yue in the past few years of the War of Resistance... As for the counterattack of public opinion personally commanded by Chen Cheng, not only did it not play any role in suppressing [***], but on the other hand, it increased the real surname of the propaganda [***] newspaper....because the achievements of the Kuomintang in the newspapers were almost no different from the propaganda of [***]. In the face of two newspapers with completely different meanings, and thinking of the propaganda in the morning, the Kuomintang army had a million empty troops, but it had failed one after another in several years of fighting. And [***] In the rear of the little devils, a unit that did not even have complete weapons actually recovered the entire North China region from the hands of the little devils, and at the same time eliminated hundreds of thousands of devils before and after... Ordinary people don't have so many crooked intestines in their hearts, but in their hearts, there is a scale. As long as you put your mind to it, whose propaganda is credible and whose propaganda is not credible, it will be clearly placed in front of everyone. As a result, although the newspapers issued by the Kuomintang were shouted and sold back and forth by newsboys in the streets and alleys, no one cared about them... Of course, for the news of the frustration of propaganda and the failure of the military command, Chen Cheng and Dai Li, in the face of Chiang Kai-shek, who was haggard and could get angry at any time, did not have any courage to report at all, so they could only press this failure result in their own hearts and let themselves bear the consequences... At this very moment, on the other side of the ocean, in Washington, D.C., the current President of the United States, Roosevelt, was carefully reading a telegram that had just been transmitted back to China after a distance of several thousand kilometers from China. And this telegram is about a grand military parade just held in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, by the troops of the Eighth Route Army led by China... In front of Roosevelt, several high-ranking officials of the political axe and Admiral MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the US Pacific Fleet, were sitting in front of Roosevelt without saying a word. Of course, they also have a telegram with the same content in their hands..."Gentlemen, what do you think of this telegram sent directly to Washington by an American journalist from China, thousands of kilometers away? After reading the contents of the telegram in his hand several times in a row, Roosevelt put down the telegram in his hand and asked with a smile on his face to the commander-in-chief, the secretary of state, and others..."Mr. President, I think that even if the contents of the telegram are completely true, it will be of no use to us in the United States at this moment. After all, the interests of us Americans are in Europe, no longer in Asia. Therefore, I completely oppose the proposal of this reporter in the telegram..."An official who has always been in charge of the attack on China put down the telegram in his hand, stood up very gentlemanly, and said..."No, we cannot sit idly by and ignore the contents of this telegram, and we should pay attention to it." said that his wolf ambition is known to everyone in the world. Sooner or later, one day, I will put my tentacles. Reach out to the Atlantic, to the interests of us Americans. So, Mr. President, I think we should immediately convene a parliament to reformulate our attitude and policy toward China...", another pro-militant official, immediately stood up and retorted loudly.

"General Mack, what about your opinion, you know, many of the proposals in the telegram are the direction of your Pacific Fleet director...."Roosevelt did not immediately show any opinion on the two people who were arguing in front of him. Instead, he turned his head and put his gaze on MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the US Pacific, and asked.

"Your Excellency, gentlemen, in response to your questions about the President, allow me to inform you of one thing. According to the reconnaissance of our intelligence agencies in the Pacific region, it seems that the decision has been made to send troops to Southeast Asia and the Philippines for the sake of strategic needs and to obtain more oil and rubber in the next battle.

"What, impossible, this is absolutely impossible, Southeast Asia is a colony of Britain and France, as for the Philippines, to a certain extent, it is basically under the control of our country, and our country has very huge interests in the Philippine region. I believe it is impossible for me not to know this. And with his own national strength, he simply has no ability to fight with our country and Britain and France at the same time..."A representative of the Lord's Peace faction, without any hesitation, immediately stood up from his seat and asked with an incredulous face..."Britain and France... Oh, sir, maybe you forgot something very important about Europe. At this moment, the European battlefield, because of the continuous expansion of Germany, the attention of Britain and France, and their own priority experience, have all paid attention to the competition in the European theater. As for the colonies in Southeast Asia, these two countries seem to have long forgotten about them...."Admiral MacArthur said with a mocking expression..."Mr. General, even if there were no Britain and France, I would not be able to bear it with us alone, the United States. Could it be that at this moment, before the fighting on the Chinese battlefield is ended, he wants to rely on his country's limited resources to fight on two fronts? I believe that as long as Emperor Samoto is not a fool, he will not make such a stupid decision..."Another official of the Lord and faction stood up and said with a confident face..."Yes, our intelligence department must have made a mistake....""Emperor Yu Moto is not a fool, they will not be stupid enough to fight on two sides..."..."Immediately, the officials of the Lord and the faction in the entire office expressed their opinions one after another, agreeing with the analysis of the two just now..."No, gentlemen, things are far from being as good as you think. Although the country's domestic resources are very scarce, almost half of the army units are trapped in China's messy battlefield. However, let's not forget one thing: among the armies that the Emperor Tsugun has poured into building the entire national force, the naval force is the biggest killer weapon in their hands. At this moment, in his hands, there is also a combined fleet that dominates the whole of Asia. If the combined fleet of the Zoben were to flank the German fleet, the whole of the Pacific Ocean would fall into the hands of the Lord. As for his combined fleet, he can also capture all the land around the Pacific Ocean at will by sea. As for us, the United States, we are also within the range of the other side's warships....So, Your Excellency, gentlemen, I suggest that the United States must be ready to participate in the exhibition at any time...."Admiral MacArthur said with a resolute expression.

"I agree with His Excellency the Admiral's suggestion that we, the United States, cannot be a bystander from now on. Now that the whole of Europe and Asia has been plunged into the flames of war, we in the United States must make our due contribution to world peace. Otherwise, sooner or later, the flames of war will penetrate deep into our American territory..."An official of the main battle faction said..."Gentlemen, do you have any other suggestions, General, in order to face the United Fleet that may go south at any time, I wonder if your Pacific Fleet has any good countermeasures...."When the two sides were arguing, Roosevelt, a president who did not speak, interrupted the arguing crowd and spoke....

"Your Excellency the President, as long as we receive your orders, our Pacific Fleet may enter a state of first-class combat readiness at any time, ready to meet all enemies who dare to enter the areas controlled by the United States, and ensure the interests of the American people, please rest assured..." Admiral MacArthur replied confidently. After all, in his hands he has in his hands an army that is no less effective in combat and equipped than any fleet of any other country in the world..."Very well, gentlemen, now I want to say that now Europe and Asia are completely enveloped in war. Although we in the United States are still a spectator at this moment, we must not relax and must be ready to join the battle at any time. Therefore, for the sake of the interests of the United States, a temporary decision was made in the name of the President of the United States that the Pacific Fleet, under the leadership of Commander MacArthur, would immediately enter a state of combat readiness and be ready to join the battlefield at any time. At the same time, the Pacific Fleet must ensure the security of the northern gate of the United States and safeguard the interests of the whole of the United States..."President Roosevelt made up his mind and said with an affirmative face....

"At the same time, in order to force the army to completely fall into the quagmire of the Chinese battlefield, I decided to increase the aid to various military supplies of the Chinese political axe and strengthen the strength of the Chinese political axe in the war of resistance. Of course, the Central Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang commemorated the bad performance in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in front of the political axe, and I think everyone should have a certain understanding through various channels. The troops of the Eighth Route Army, which was active in the rear of the Chinese Army, not only did not fail, but instead achieved the record of destroying hundreds of thousands of enemies. I believe that this newly emerging army will certainly become a nightmare for myself on the battlefield in China in the near future. Therefore, I have decided to allocate one-third of the large number of military supplies to China's political axe to directly assist this Eighth Route Army unit, improve the combat effectiveness of this Eighth Route Army unit, and let them kill and injure a large number of the living forces of their own soldiers on the Chinese battlefield, constantly deplete their own national strength, and reduce the chances of their combined fleet entering the Pacific Ocean..." Let's take the money paid by the American people to help the Chinese people resist the enemy's aggression. More importantly, it is necessary to assist the troops of the Eighth Route Army led by China. You know, China [***] is a branch of the Soviet Communist Party. Aren't we supporting [***] expansion on Earth? Mr. President, where have you put the interests of the United States...", following Roosevelt's order, a representative of the Lord's Peace faction immediately stood up and spoke out in opposition.

"The interests of the United States, sir, I would like to ask you a question, if a country is not even guaranteed security, what is the interest... If we can't guarantee the security of the United States, the security of our citizens, where do our interests come from? I believe that if I could not guarantee the interests of the country, I would definitely be ousted by the President of the People's Republic of China in the next election. As the president of the United States, the first consideration is the safety of the people, and the interests of the people second. Please be clear about this, otherwise, you will waste taxpayers' money in vain..."Roosevelt said dissatisfiedly to the answer of the official in front of him, and his words were full of sarcasm..."Your Excellency, I apologize to you for what I just said, but I did not think it through. However, as a member of the Parliament, I must put the interests of the people first, in addition to security. I don't know why His Excellency the President is directly supporting a large amount of taxpayers' money to China's political axes in Asia. Isn't our American army enough to hold back the possible aggression of our own country? Seeing Roosevelt with a dissatisfied face, the congressman who had just expressed his opinion quickly said apologetically.

"Gentlemen, I think all of you here have the same questions. I have two reasons for this, and I hope to get your support. We use taxpayers' money to support China's political axe, so that they can continue to fight against Yue, so that all of Yue's limited forces will fall into the Chinese battlefield, so that they will not be able to draw more troops to start a new war. The second reason is that China lacks all kinds of strategic resources, while China has a lot of strategic resources, and I think everyone knows very well. If he is allowed to occupy the whole of China and obtain a large number of strategic sources, he will have a greater ability to launch a new war. When the time comes, I will definitely set my eyes on the entire Pacific region, and even on the American continent..."Roosevelt said..."I completely agree with the opinion of His Excellency the President, increase the resources of various strategic materials for China's political axe, and constantly replenish China's political axe with fresh blood, so that the whole battle can continue, constantly consume my limited national strength, and reduce the probability of the combined fleet advancing into the Pacific Ocean..." Admiral MacArthur said with certainty..."Gentlemen, what General Mack just said is very correct. We are supporting a large number of strategic materials for China's political axes to achieve this purpose. As for why I want to transfer one-third of the strategic materials to reinforce the [***] army located in the rear of the Yue army, this army that believes in [***], the reason for this, I have just said... During the several years of fighting on the battlefields of China, the Kuomintang had millions of troops, but they were defeated on the frontal battlefield and lost large swaths of their country. However, the Eighth Route Army has grown from tens of thousands of troops to nearly one million elite troops, and has also eliminated hundreds of thousands of the most elite troops of the Yue Army. In China, if we rely only on the national political axe, sooner or later the whole of China will be occupied by ourselves. However, with the assistance of the [***] army, the army would have been completely mired in the quagmire of the Chinese battlefield..."Roosevelt smiled and nodded at Admiral MacArthur's answer. Then he continued: "Your Excellency, I have to say that your reasons have touched me. I believe that this matter will be approved by the majority of parliamentarians in the next parliamentary vote..."Having said that, just now, a congressman who was still very private and resolutely disagreed with increasing support for China had to lower his head and said confidently to President Roosevelt in front of him..."Gentlemen, this is the end of today's meeting, Ross, you have to put the content of today's meeting into words in the shortest possible time, and then send it to the hands of each member of the parliament, so that everyone can make a decision. Tomorrow I will organize a council and vote on it..."Roosevelt nodded and said in the affirmative.

In the next day's congressional vote, it was not surprising that, after reading a series of explanations from President Roosevelt, the entire resolution was passed by two-thirds of the votes in the face of the dangerous situation that his country might be attacked by the Combined Fleet at any time... With the decision made in the first moment, Roosevelt did not hesitate at all, and immediately sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, the political axe of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, in the name of the president. Of course, Roosevelt did not forget China, which was far away in North China, and entrusted an American reporter in Taiyuan to hand over a telegram that he had personally dictated to [***][***]... In the face of a telegram personally sent by US President Roosevelt, Chiang Kai-shek was very angry and dissatisfied, but he was really helpless. Because at this moment, the central political axe has lost most of the country. And if we want to continue the entire war, without the assistance of the United States, there will be only one result, that is, in the shortest possible time, under the attack of the whole country, the entire territory will be lost... After a long period of thought, Chiang Kai-shek had to agree with President Roosevelt's decision to distribute one-third of the strategic materials to his enemy, the Eighth Route Army... As for the chairman and others who were far away in Taiyuan, after receiving Roosevelt's telegram, they were surprised and at the same time very excited. Because this telegram not only means that in the future battles, the Eighth Route Army will receive a steady stream of assistance from the United States. It also represents China's [***], and through this military parade, it has been recognized by everyone in the world...
