Lin Sen took the telegram sent by Mrs. Song from the United States and did not say a word, this kind of negotiation is undoubtedly an extremely difficult work. Britain and the United States have their own interests, and it is absolutely impossible for a coalition government to do exactly what they want.

For example, if the National Defense Forces are asked to help defend India, it is impossible to do it. At present, the Japanese army still has nearly a million troops in China, and this does not include their coerced servants.

The Nanyang Military Division has just been established, and even with the current manpower, it is only more than 100,000. And in terms of equipment, it is a big step worse than the Japanese army. If a war is forced, it can only cause heavy losses to the Nanyang Army Division.

"The situation of the Nanyang Army Division cannot be exposed for the time being, and if something goes wrong, we will regret it at that time." Su Zongzhen shook his head at Lin Sen and said, "It can be saved, but not now." ”

Lin Sen sighed helplessly, where can the current situation allow the coalition government to choose?!

"My Chief of Staff, is it up to us to choose the situation now?! If we want to cooperate with Britain and the United States, we need to show our sincerity, which is called 'casting a name' according to our old saying. ”

"Otherwise, the American warships will give it to us easily?! Their fleet in the Pacific is now suffering heavy losses, and I suspect there is also an internal debate about whether or not to take back the warships that they had promised us. After all, the current situation is that Japan has threatened their homeland. ”

Lin Sen's statement is indeed in the current state of the United States, and the Congress has once again repeated the sale of warships to the coalition government that had formed a tacit agreement.

Some people were adamantly opposed to the sale of warships to the coalition government, and the losses at Pearl Harbor were devastating. Now the United States is in dire need of warships to defend its coastline.

At the same time, others believe that since they have agreed, they should sell. Moreover, if it is sold to China, it can also threaten the Japanese navy in Southeast Asia.

Forcing Japan not to easily attack the US mainland, the two sides insisted on their own arguments. Because some people think that even if the warships are given, is the Wehrmacht willing to use these warships to contain the Japanese army?!

In the end, it was Roosevelt and Marshall who put the argument to rest. They decided to see if the coalition government was willing to help contain the Japanese forces in Southeast Asia.

This will determine the level of support that should be given to the coalition government and the Defence Force.

"MacArthur has been evacuated to Australia, and now the US military in Southeast Asia is almost blank." Tu Mengben sneered and said, "MacArthur threw all the responsibility to Wainwright, but how could Wainwright be able to stop the Japanese with that little force in his hands?!" ”

Lin Sen sighed helplessly, in fact, the MacArthur chorus didn't know that doing so actually abandoned those American soldiers who were still in the Philippines?! But he didn't have a choice, either he would fill it in himself or grit his teeth and leave them to fend for themselves.

Then look for an opportunity to kill them and rescue them. There's no way around it. If MacArthur also falls in the Philippines, then the United States will lose control in Southeast Asia. This is undoubtedly a terrible thing for the United States.

"Commander-in-Chief, although now it is said that the Americans have this request. But it's also good for us to take control of Southeast Asia. Yan Zhengqing was silent for a while before he said to everyone: "Undoubtedly." Now is the most difficult time for the Allies. It was also when they lost control of Southeast Asia. ”

"We only have to wait a little while, and then the United States and Britain will completely lose control of Southeast Asia. When the time comes, we will be able to take this area in a comfortable manner. Yan Zhengqing pushed his glasses and said with a smile.

"Because of the situation, we can't let the Japanese army cross the Pacific to expand their strength, and we can't let the Europeans and Americans continue to entrench themselves in Southeast Asia. Because this is extremely detrimental to our post-war situation. ”

All participants nodded in agreement. This was a conclusion made within the coalition government when the Japanese army launched the Southeast Asian campaign earlier. That can't change in any way.

Southeast Asia is involved in China's future access to the Indian Ocean, and its geographical location is too important to give up. Now that the European and American forces that occupy this place are already weak, if they don't take this opportunity to take it down, the situation will be even more troublesome in the future when they can recover their breath.

"I think we should let the people of the Nanyang Army Division continue to lurk first, and wait until the US military is completely defeated in the Philippines before we start to save people." Tu Mengben thought about it and said to everyone.

"Of course, excuses are easy to find. Let's just say that we are now selecting people and organizing people to go over to do the rescue. But it will take time. ”

Lin Sen and the others nodded, they didn't want their earlier layout in Southeast Asia to be noticed by Europe and the United States. If you want to save people, it is reasonable to take time to prepare.

"But at the same time, we demand that we must have the right to go to war in Southeast Asia......" Tu Mengben's eyes flashed, and he sneered: "Just tell Roosevelt and them." We can drag Japan in Asia. However, Southeast Asia must be included in the jurisdiction of the Asian theater. After all, Japan will get resources from Southeast Asia to support the war, and we will not sit idly by. ”

"If it is hoped that we will hold off the Navy, then the United States should provide us with warships. Of course, we will not take American warships for nothing. Those naval officers who are now studying in the United States enter the U.S. fleet to serve. Assist the U.S. military in its war against the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. ”

After a pause, Yan Zhengqing said: "Chengzhang's current fleet can only be dormant, rather than letting them have nothing to do here, it is better to let them also go to the United States to assist in the war." ”

"After all, Chengzhang is a navy with experience in fighting the Japanese army, and I believe the Americans will accept this."

Yan Zhengqing's words made Lin Sen and the others nod. U.S. warships can train officers for the Wehrmacht who have experienced real combat. At the same time, the Wehrmacht's Admiralty was able to replenish the naval forces that were now lacking as a result of Pearl Harbor. And the commander of the navy, Shen Honglie, also nodded in agreement.

"The Air Force also sent some people over." At this time, Air Force Commander Chen Haihua spoke. He looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "The United States has already made some reports to us on the situation of Pearl Harbor, and although vague changes have been made in many places, one thing can be confirmed. ”

"The U.S. military doesn't have much experience in dealing with Japanese fighters. It's deadly. Chen Haihua pointed to the table and said in a deep voice: "No matter what you say, our pilots have more experience in air warfare against Japan than the US military. We can do some cooperation on this point, and we can also use this to understand the situation of the U.S. military......"

Tu Mengben frowned and said to Chen Haihua: "Is there enough manpower in our air force?!" Sending it to the United States, will it weaken the air power on our own side?! ”

Chen Haihua smiled slyly, and said hehehe: "There are not many people who go, just a hundred or so people." The real combatants are about 50 people. What else ......?"

The others include four places and ground crews, who go to help combat and learn at the same time. After all, the United States still has something that the Wehrmacht can learn from in many aspects of the Air Force.

If you don't go to some brains and take this opportunity to dig up the experience back, when will you wait?!

After half a day of discussion, the state of cooperation between the coalition government and Britain and the United States was finally decided. As for France...... Who cares about a country whose land is completely occupied?!

Mrs. Song soon got the secret telegram from the coalition government, and with this, she was more confident in her negotiations. And what gave her the most confidence was that the Wehrmacht would launch a general attack on the Japanese army in Zhejiang in an all-out way at the end of this month.

"Mr. President, I have already obtained the resolution of the meeting of our coalition government." Mrs. Soong smiled at President Roosevelt at the fifth negotiation and said, "First of all, we will try to save the Allied soldiers who have fallen into the hands of the Japanese." But we need some time to prepare, after all, to mobilize people and gather intelligence...... We have a lot of work to do. ”

"Secondly, in the Southeast Asian theater of operations, we can try to drag down the Japanese army. But what we need is the dominance of the Southeast Asian theater. Mrs. Song paused, and said to the British envoy and Roosevelt: "If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have chosen to enter Southeast Asia." ”

"You're blackmailing!" The British envoy jumped up at once and shouted: "Singapore and Malaya are ours!" You can't do that! ”

Mrs. Song smiled and waved her hand, "No, no, no...... Mr. Special Envoy, you have misunderstood. We simply need the right to lead the regional war in Southeast Asia, and the British soldiers in Singapore have already been captured. In other words, you have lost the ability to fight there, so it is also appropriate for us to take over and contain the development of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia. ”

As she spoke, without waiting for the envoy to refute anything, Mrs. Song turned her head to Roosevelt and said with a smile: "Mr. President, in order to show our sincerity, General Tu Mengben, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, has decided to send more than half of the officers and men of the Navy to the United States to supplement and help the United States defend the Pacific region. ”

"These are all Navy soldiers who have fought in the Yellow Sea and the Japanese Navy, and their arrival will greatly enrich the strength of the US Navy." After a pause, Mrs. Song smiled and said, "There are also a team of one hundred and fifty people from the Air Force. They are all elites who have fought against the Japanese air force, and I believe that they will help the US military in the Pacific war. ”

Roosevelt's eyes lit up and he nodded and said no more, and the British envoy saw it. What the coalition government cares about is the attitude of the United States. As for the UK?! Wash and sleep.

"Those naval officers who were originally trained in the United States also joined the U.S. Navy to help fight." Mrs. Song said with a smile: "I believe that the sincere cooperation between our two countries can help the United States gradually open up the war situation in the Pacific." ”

"I feel that we should convene a meeting with Prime Minister Churchill and General Tu Mengben at an appropriate time to coordinate the operational issues between our three sides." Roosevelt smiled, looked at the British envoy and said, "I believe this will be better for us." ”
