Perhaps it was Zhao Zhi's deliberate action, and the telegram sent by Thunder was spread in a boiling manner, and the news about the recent withdrawal of the Burmese Japanese army from the entire territory of Burma spread far and wide, and began to spread inexplicably in the Kuomintang area, and in less than a week, there were even relevant rumors in the liberated areas of the Chinese Communist Party. Also more interested in this news were the journalists and latent intelligence agents of various countries who were active in China, and for a while, one piece of information flew like snowflakes to the intelligence services of European countries.

At the White House, the current President of the United States, Roosevelt, is sitting in his wheelchair with a frown, listening to the chief of staff report on the various problems faced by American soldiers in the Pacific theater.

"The Pacific Theater....I really didn't expect that Japan, as an island nation, would have such a strong war potential. In the face of the joint attack of our large fleet, we were able to maintain the original defensive line, so that the whole situation of the war had to be stopped....It seems that after the original Pearl Harbor incident, we still underestimated the true strength of the Japanese..."As the chief of staff finished his report, President Roosevelt, who had already clenched his fists, couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly.

Looking at the vicissitudes of life in front of him, after several years of war exhaustion, the disabled president, who seemed to be several years old, the chief of staff, Admiral Marshall, seemed to have been prepared, and calmly replied, "Your Excellency the president, don't worry, although this counteroffensive has not achieved a decisive victory. However, through this counteroffensive, we have also learned about the entire Pacific Theater and the specific strength of Japan....Judging from the current situation, the entire Pacific Theater will end in our final victory in no more than half a year at most."

Hearing Marshall's answer, Roosevelt was like discovering a new continent, and his face, which was still solemn just now, immediately flashed a trace of excitement. Hurriedly asked: "General Marshall, tell me the specific basis for your judgment."

"Okay, Your Excellency President," Marshall flipped through the notes he had already prepared, "through this counteroffensive, we clearly know that the specific strength and fleet strength of the Japanese army deployed in the entire Pacific theater can be said to be on a par with our troops. Therefore, as long as we can once again transfer two main fleets and 500,000 troops to join the Pacific Theater within half a year, we will have an absolute advantage. When the time comes, I promise that I will end the war in the Pacific in the shortest possible time and completely annihilate all the Japanese troops in the entire Pacific theater."

Under Roosevelt's expectant gaze, Marshall replied with a proud face, after the American fleet had just pulled back a game in the naval battle, the exhausted chief of staff finally had a little confidence.

"Two fleets, for us, is not a difficult thing, but 500,000 troops, this is a bit difficult, there don't seem to be so many trained soldiers in the country now?" Roosevelt's expression was much lighter, but for a moment, his brow furrowed again, and he continued to ask rhetorically. "Marshall, have you ever thought that in half a year, we can transfer troops, and Japan can also transfer troops... If Japan is also deploying troops, then what you just proposed will not be meaningful? ”

"Your Excellency, you don't know this, according to the investigation of our intelligence department, after many years of conquest, the number of soldiers in Japan is close to exhaustion. It is almost impossible for Japan to recruit another 500,000 troops within half a year. As for the other main forces of the Japanese army, they were either dragged on the Nanyang battlefield or in the Chinese battlefield, and there was no possibility of any withdrawal at all, so please don't worry about this question," Admiral Marshall replied with a relaxed face.

"Great... General Marshall, today you finally let me hear a happy thing. I suggest that for the sake of this happy event, we must have a good drink tonight" Perhaps affected by Marshall's mood, Roosevelt's solemn face was finally enveloped by a smile, and he said with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency the President is right, you should indeed have a good drink" Marshall, who was also happy, pandered to Roosevelt.

However, it backfired, and just as the laughter of the two people sounded in the office at the same time, a rush of footsteps reached the ears of the two people. Then there was a sharp knock on the door, and the slightly anxious figure of Roosevelt's chief of staff, Bob, appeared at the door of his office.

Before President Roosevelt could speak, the voice of Bob, the chief of staff, reached the ears of the two men. The smiles on the faces of the two people came to an abrupt end. "Your Excellency the President, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, something happened, this is the latest information that the CIA has just sent from the Chinese theater of operations, the Japanese army has withdrawn from the entire territory of Burma, it should be that the thunder of the south to Burma and the Japanese army have reached an armistice agreement"

"The Japanese are withdrawing from all of Burma, Bob, I heard you right, right? I think it's the biggest joke I've ever heard when I've grown up," Chief of Staff Marshall said with a smile on his face. The Thunder attack on Burma was to help the US forces in South Asia disperse the Japanese troops, and the Japanese army hated Zhao Zhi to the core, and in the face of the Thunder with only 100,000 troops, how could the Japanese army choose to abandon Burma.

Because in his eyes, war, unless it ends with the final defeat of one side. Otherwise, there is no possibility of peace talks.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, this is not a joke, this is a fact, this is the withdrawal of troops, this time the withdrawal negotiations were initiated by Japan. In addition, the news of the Japanese troops in Burma was announced by Thunder on his own initiative, and perhaps right now, the last Japanese soldier has boarded the ship leaving Burma," Bob, the chief of staff, replied with a firm face.

"How is this possible?" Seeing the expression on Bob's face, the faces of President Roosevelt and Chief of Staff Marshall showed a look of shock almost at the same time, and they asked rhetorically. "When did Thunder have the strength to force the Japanese army to take the initiative to avoid the war? But if the Japanese withdrew their troops from Burma, wouldn't the part of their troops be redeployed back to the South Asian theater? ”

At this moment, in the presidential office of the White House, the most gaffe person is none other than General Marshall, chief of the US General Staff, who is sitting directly opposite Roosevelt. Because, just now, he confidently assured President Roosevelt in front of him that there would never be any accidents in the entire Pacific War, and it was absolutely impossible for a large number of elite Japanese troops who were dragged on the Chinese battlefield to be withdrawn under the encirclement and entanglement of the Chinese army.

However, less than five minutes after these words were uttered, the news of the withdrawal of Japanese troops from Burma came from the intelligence department, which was undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to Admiral Marshall, who was still full of confidence just now, and made him extremely embarrassed and depressed. General Marshall, who was the chief of the General Staff, was stunned on the spot at a loss because of this huge news, and did not say a word.

There was silence in the office, and after a minute-long silence as Chief of Staff Bob's voice fell, President Roosevelt broke the atmosphere and commanded Roosevelt in front of him, "Bob, I need a more detailed report, what is the purpose of the Japanese army's this?" Thunder acquiesced in the departure of the Japanese army from Burma, was this the result of Thunder's unilateral intention or the result of consultation with the Nationalist Government? If possible, have someone from the CIA contact Zhao Zhi of the Thunder right away"

"Your Excellency, according to the investigation of our intelligence officers, the withdrawal of Japanese troops from Burma is an agreement unilaterally made by Lei Ting and the Japanese army, and the Nationalist Government in Chongqing is not aware of this. The ultimate goal of the Japanese withdrawal was to end the fighting on the battlefield in Burma and rescue the two elite divisions of the Japanese army that were besieged by Thunder. The CIA concluded that the Japanese army was thundered on the battlefield in Burma and routed four divisions, with a total of nearly 90,000 casualties"

"Are you convinced that the purpose of the Japanese army's withdrawal from Burma is to relieve the two elite divisions surrounded by thunder?" Roosevelt, who was concerned about the increasingly dazzling performance of the Chinese battlefield recently, immediately found the crux of the problem and asked Bob in front of him.

"Yes, I am convinced, in fact, the news of the withdrawal of Japanese troops from Burma was sent to Chongqing on his own initiative, and it was at that time that our intelligence officers began to pay attention to the matter," Rost replied.

After getting Bob's confirmation, Roosevelt, who had a certain strategic vision, immediately set his eyes on Chief of Staff Marshall in front of him. Then, he asked in a deep voice, "General Marshall, I have a very important question now, I hope you can answer it carefully" At this moment, he was already very convinced that the purpose of the Japanese army's withdrawal from Burma was not all for the troops besieged by the thunder, and the real reason was probably that the Japanese army was afraid of the thunder, and they were not the opponents of the thunder.

"Your Excellency President, may I ask" Marshall, who was still reacting from shock, was a little slow to react, and did not adjust his mentality at the first time, and Marshall answered Roosevelt's question a little blankly.

"My chief of staff, let's assume that if Japan can transfer 300,000 to 600,000 elites from the Chinese battlefield to the Pacific theater within half a year, what impact will it have on the war in the entire Pacific?"

"Hiss..." As soon as Roosevelt's words fell, Admiral Marshall's face showed a look of shock. If Japan really draws a large number of troops from the Chinese battlefield to supplement the Great Plains battlefield, it is estimated that the US ground forces deployed there will certainly not be able to stop the Japanese attack.
