The carrier-based aircraft unit of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army won a great victory, sinking an aircraft carrier and a battleship of the Japanese Navy, and also severely damaged an aircraft carrier. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Two more heavy cruisers, one light cruiser and two destroyers were sunk. Such brilliant results were known to the Americans on the other side of the ocean for the first time.

Although, by the time President Roosevelt learned the news, he had already had dinner. I was about to take care of my official duties for a while longer, and then I took a break. However, when a group of generals came to report the good news to him, he invited them to a drink. After all, this can be considered a rare victory. Of course, it would have been better if this victory had been accomplished by the American * servicemen.

"Gentlemen, congratulations to our allies, they have achieved a great victory." President Roosevelt smiled.

The strength of the Japanese navy has been further weakened, which means that they can defeat the Japanese themselves one day earlier, advance the battle line to the Japanese mainland one day earlier, and completely occupy the entire Pacific Ocean. Then, the hegemony of the United States will be established because of this.

"Cheers!" The generals all raised their glasses and drank bitterly.

"General Marshall, now I feel more and more that it was a wise choice to support the formation of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in the first place. They have already given us multiple pieces of good news. Not only have they wiped out hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, but now even the Japanese navy has planted a big heel on them. Although, in order to support them, we spent a lot of money. Someone once persuaded me that there was no need to invest so much money in the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Instead of giving them so much advanced equipment, it is better to fully arm our own army. However, I would say that this thinking is grossly incorrect. The lives of Americans are precious. To be able to let the Chinese go to the battlefield to fight for us, we only need to pay some money and weapons and equipment, but we can save a lot of American lives, why not? President Roosevelt smiled.

"Yes, Your Excellency, you are too wise. I believe that the current Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is fully capable of undertaking a large part of the combat missions against Japan. Even if one day our front advances to the Japanese mainland, in order to prevent the Japanese themselves from jumping over the wall and causing us a large number of casualties, we can completely let the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army land on Japan, so that we can effectively avoid casualties. Admiral Marshall said.

"Your Excellency the President, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, this suggestion is very good. The General Staff did a war game. Judging by the paranoia of the day * himself. If we want to land on the Japanese mainland and then destroy them. We have to pay at least fifty to a million casualties. Even, a large part of them were killed in action. Major General Eisenhower also said.

"Oh God! It would be a tragedy if we had to pay so many casualties in Japan. President Roosevelt exclaimed. Other US generals who heard this conclusion for the first time also changed their faces.

The United States, although it has gradually gained the upper hand in the war. However, the war of nearly a year and a half has also cost the United States a huge amount. The military strength of the United States, although very strong. However, this is manifested primarily in their armament. In terms of the combat quality of the soldiers, the US military is not too strong. Especially when the United States first entered the war, the US Army and Navy underwent a large-scale expansion. How much combat effectiveness can an army be hastily expanded? In the Pacific Ocean, they have not been taught how to be human beings by the Japanese themselves.

In American society, although the mainstream voice is still in favor of the country to carry on the war, and make those who started the war pay the price. However, because of the increasing casualties, there are already some anti-war voices in society. Although that is not the mainstream public opinion, it is still worthy of the US government's vigilance. If the casualties increase further, there will certainly be more opposition to the war. In that case, the government will be more passive.

If the landfall day is the mainland, it will cause such a large number of casualties. Then, it is undoubtedly the best way to let the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army replace the US army. Even if it is not possible to completely avoid the casualties of the US military, it can at least minimize the casualties of the US troops, so as to effectively avoid the further expansion of the anti-war situation in China.

"If we really want to land in Japan in the future. Then, we must pull the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army with us. President Roosevelt said categorically.

The other generals also nodded their heads again and again. In the eyes of these people, they spent so much money and weapons and equipment to support the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. It was to let the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army help them fight the Japanese themselves. To put it mildly, it is to regard the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army as cannon fodder. It's just that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is relatively powerful cannon fodder.

"General Nimitz, the Japanese * himself this time again lost an aircraft carrier and a battleship. The heavily damaged aircraft carrier will probably need to stay in the shipyard for a long time. In this way, our advantage in the Pacific Ocean can be further expanded. Is there a problem that we defeat the Japanese * Honko Navy and completely gain superiority in the Pacific? President Roosevelt said.

"Your Excellency the President, with the continuous service of our new aircraft carriers, the Japanese Navy is already at a disadvantage in the Pacific Ocean. It's just that they have been avoiding a decisive battle with our main force. So, it's hard for us to really beat them. Although the Chinese did a good job this time, they also helped us somewhat. However, if we think that we can defeat Hi* himself because of this, it is too early to do so. Admiral Nimitz shook his head.

"In addition, we also express doubts about why the Chinese let go of the aircraft carrier 'Xianghe', which has been heavily damaged." Admiral Nimitz continued.

President Roosevelt couldn't help frowning: "Is it difficult, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"Your Excellency, the report of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is that when they sent fighter planes to reconnoitre, they lost the trace of the aircraft carrier 'Xianghe'. That's why the second round of attacks was stopped. Admiral Marshall said.

President Roosevelt nodded, and his brows furrowed: "After all, the time for the establishment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is very short, and their carrier-based aircraft unit has just been established, and it is already very good to be able to do what it is now, and there is no need to be harsh on them." ”

Admiral Nimitz supported President Roosevelt's statement and had no choice but to pursue it further.
