Roosevelt was tempted to fly the stack of papers out of his hand and slam it into that corner, reminding him of the officials who had forgotten to look at some of the documents. He looked at the official, his eyes shining murderously behind his glasses, and the officer knew that he was not speaking at the right time, so he lowered his head and became an ostrich.

He could not be blamed at all, he had given Roosevelt a report on the Chinese theater of war against Japanese aggression for several days, but the president chose to ignore the report, the Chinese army had been waiting for supplies for a long time, but still could not wait for the supplies and equipment they wanted.

The Chinese special envoy, the wife of the Chinese president, who had traveled halfway around the world to reach the United States safely, almost burst into tears yesterday when she said good things, which made the US official make up his mind to do China, a friend of the United States in the Far East, a favor at this meeting.

Did Roosevelt forget this report for help from China? Of course he didn't. Even a few days ago, when the report first entered the president's office, he had carefully read the contents of it. Compared with the lion-opening allies of the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, China's request is on the contrary very pragmatic and humble.

The report provides a detailed analysis of the "Far Eastern defeat" in which the Chinese army was defeated on frontal battlefields and ceded a lot of territory. Among them, the Japanese bombers took the risk of bombing the Chinese industrial area between Wuhan and Hanyang, which can indeed be regarded as a stroke of genius. This time, the Japanese army had excellent tactical planning and a unique strategic vision -- adding to the situation of China's already fragile industry.

Because of this, the Chinese side wants the United States to provide 1 billion rounds of ammunition, as well as 300,000 rifles and 50,000 machine guns as assistance. If possible, the United States would need no less than 200 fighter jets to defend China's wartime capital, Chongqing, and the arsenal between Wuhan and Hanyang.

Compared with Britain and the Soviet Union, which demanded dozens of warships and tens of thousands of tanks at every turn, this demand can already be regarded as the "conscience of the industry," but the US Government is now settling accounts with the Roosevelt Group for its recent unjust behavior, and Congress is arguing over the matter of US aid to its allies, so China's request for assistance was suppressed by Roosevelt.

The return of the United States in the Pacific theater has indeed silenced some isolationists who have encouraged the United States to withdraw from the war, and it has now become the consensus of almost all Americans that the war can continue and that the United States will never lose the war. The crisis of the Roosevelt Group's armistice and resignation was resolved, and Nimitz was also molded into an American hero by the Roosevelt Group.

On the contrary, however, the Soviet Union, the number one ally that the United States greatly aided, lost all its ground on the frontal battlefield, and now Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad are all under the hands of German troops, and the scene is difficult to see to the extreme.

Britain, another ally that would only open its mouth to ask for things from the beginning of the war, was also defeated, not to mention the loss of its homeland, that little Iceland is no different from a black hole, the United States transports a large number of supplies out of the port every day, but it can't feed this Pixiu called "Iceland base".

As a result, some Americans began to reflect that neither the Soviets nor the British really wanted to fight for the Americans, and that instead of handing over the supplies to these fools who could not win the war, they should be used to arm the Americans themselves. These Americans felt that arming 2 million American soldiers and sending them to the battlefield would change the current situation on the battlefield.

These people's views were supported by pro-Soviet and pro-British officials, who advocated that the Americans should expand their military and participate in the war on a larger scale and personally win the war that would affect their future international status.

As a result of this ideology, the amount of American support for the Soviet Union, Great Britain, and China declined slightly after several months of continuous growth. The United States conscripted 500,000 troops, and everyone from top to bottom was planning where to send these 500,000 to defeat the enemy.

The Soviet-German war is the largest main battlefield involving the German army at this stage, and the materials there cannot be easily reduced, once the Soviet Union is defeated, the German army will ask for the shadow of war and enter the stage of peaceful development earlier than the United States. This was absolutely unacceptable to the United States, so Soviet aid could not be easily reduced.

Based on this fundamental reason, the corresponding material conservation problem will have to start from the British base in Iceland and the Chinese battlefield in the Far East. Roosevelt was forced to have no choice but to forget China's request for assistance.

So he had no choice but to open his mouth and slowly summarized the meeting: "The Japanese army in the Chinese theater is no longer able to attack, so let's slow down the matter of helping that side." As for the British side, the transportation of goods was cut in half...... Supplying the Soviet battlefield with all its might, and now it is the only way to do it. ”

"As for the direction of the next stage of the US counterattack, it is still set on the Pacific theater of the war against Japan!" Marshall stood up, walked to the side of the map, pointed to the Marshall Islands and the Solomon Islands above, and said: "I suggest that the troops be transported to Australia first, and after eliminating the Japanese troops there, then attack the Solomon Islands from the flank!"

Australia...... For Roosevelt, it was another memory that he didn't want to remember. Less than a year earlier, he had used diplomacy to force the British Crown to relinquish its ownership of Australia and give it to Britain in the north. Now I have to slap myself myself and snatch it back quietly.

Mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, destroy the Japanese troops that have been scattered into a handful because of the long battle line, and then recapture the whole of Australia from the Germans, although there is not a single German above - it is really a strategic counteroffensive.

Roosevelt sighed helplessly again, and he found that the number of times he sighed helplessly this year was increasing. If you choose a representative expression for the presidents of the previous US government presidents, then the four on Mount Rushmore are obviously "resolute, optimistic, positive, and enterprising", and Roosevelt himself is undoubtedly left with only a "sigh".

I hope that for such a long time, my persistence is correct, and I hope that after a long, long time, I will be understood by the Americans. Roosevelt prayed in his heart, then sorted out his thoughts and said to Marshall: "I agree with you, let's help the British allies first and regain the Australian possessions!"

......

While discussing how to stab Japan in a conference room in Washington, D.C., Accardo was also working with his staff and Marshal Brauchitsch on how to use Turkey as a pawn.

"Plans for the delivery of troops to Turkey are continuing in an orderly manner. The three infantry divisions are ready to go, and although they are not elite, they have also drawn at least 2,000 veterans with combat experience. Field Marshal Brauchitsch had a say in military matters, and after giving an account of the recent planning of the troop to Turkey, he returned to his seat.

The officials and staff in the conference room generally had completely opposite opinions on Turkey's use, and at this time, the Middle East strategists and several official representatives who were close to the Jews opened their mouths: "We should support Turkey's southward movement, and many entrepreneurs in our country will find a way to meet their demands." Once we seized the oil-producing regions of the Middle East, victory came. ”

The Jews supported the settlement of the Middle East first, of course, because they hoped that Germany would take the Middle East first and help them establish the "Jewish state" that the Führer had promised. This plan was also proposed by North African Field Marshal Rommel, and it also represented some of Italy's will.

However, the Germanic industrialists, represented by Field Marshal Brauchitsch and other German capitalists, were more in favor of moving north from Turkey, attacking the Baku oil fields and occupying the Caucasus in an all-round way. These people immediately clamored and opposed the opinion of those who preceded them: "Encroaching on the Middle East is to give the Axis powers the world, and going north to Baku is the strategy of the Third Reich itself." You're still not a staff member of the Third Reich?"

Accardo sat on the first place, his hands clasped together, and without saying a word, it was as if he were a statue. In fact, he felt that both of these opinions were too optimistic, and as long as he analyzed it a little, he knew that the country of Turkey was not as strong as everyone remembered.

During the First World War, Turkey did ally with Germany, and with the support of Germany, it marched into the Middle East, but in vain it eventually fell to Britain and France. With this ability, expecting Turkey to attack the Middle East is destined to be an unrealistic fantasy.

What's more, after World War I, in order to get rid of the situation of oil shortage, the prophet Accardo threw out the big pie of the Middle East oil fields, and the Middle East was occupied by Britain and the United States, improving the industrial transportation infrastructure, and the combat effectiveness was more than doubled...... And Turkey, still the backward Turkey.

On the other hand, let Turkey go north to attack the Soviet Union, provoking the defense area of Baku, which had already been reinforced by the Soviet Union. Just look at the situation in Stalingrad - the Caucasus, which made the German army bite its teeth, and counting on Turkey to gnaw on it is nothing more than the legendary thousands of miles to send people's heads.

What made Accardo laugh and cry the most was that the Turks still felt good about themselves, and after being mired in war in the Balkan occupation zone in the northwest, they even boasted about Haikou at the Axis diplomatic conference, and clearly marked the conditions for Turkey's entry into the war: Turkey sent 1 million troops to help Germany sweep through the Middle East and the Caucasus, but Turkey's share of oil in these places was half......

At that time, a ridiculous image came to Acardo's mind: a young boy with his bare hands boasted to two murderous bandits, "I helped you kill the police, but I want to take half of the money from the bank robbery!"
