362 Smith's Scheme
The tragic landing battle on the island was turned into a game of blocking whack-a-mole by Gao Jianwu.
The Allies didn't expect the war to be so interesting, and soon they had the feeling of falling in love with this kind of game, and the morale that had been affected by the tragic seizure of the island suddenly rose.
Rush to knock down the remaining islands!
Such a change made General Mack dumbfounded, what is the situation?!
The number of casualties has plummeted, the morale has risen higher and higher, and there is almost nothing wrong with it except that the consumption of shells and explosives has skyrocketed!
This makes General Mack's previous tactical arrangement stupid.
What's more, rumors began to circulate among the allies that if he hadn't insisted on not agreeing to the deal with Gao Jianwu, all this would have been like this a long time ago, and the allies would have lost tens of thousands of casualties.
More than 10,000 people were lost by General Mack! The Allies originally thought that there was nothing in the previous war, and all this could have been avoided when it was linked, but it was ruined by General Mack.
Then this thing can't be endured.
The relatives and friends of more than 10,000 people began to turn their grief into anger and transfer it to General Mack.
In this way, General Mack's reputation among the Allies collapsed at once.
When the subordinates of the big-headed soldiers saw him, they naturally didn't dare to say anything, but those generals didn't have too many scruples, they didn't discuss this matter in front of General Mack, but they all had their own roots, and some of them began to rumble with their colleagues at the headquarters because of this matter.
General Smith, who originally stayed in Gao Jianwu's staff, inadvertently mentioned this incident when he contacted his colleagues one day, which made Smith understand that there was such a situation in the army.
All of a sudden, General Smith's brain was a little active.
General Smith followed General Steven, and naturally has factional roots. Remembering that Gao Jianwu also had something to do with the White House, when he was opening an aviation industry company in the Americas, General Smith heard that Gao Jianwu and a man named Situ in North America had opened the door to the White House's deputy.
Does this count as an opportunity?
...
"Gao, you have your own business in the Americas, and you have a good relationship with the Hua Gang, and the Hua Gang has an excellent relationship with the big man in the White House, I wonder if you can do us a favor?"
General Smith thought for a long time and felt that there really seemed to be a little chance in this matter, so when General Smith returned to Gao Jianwu's headquarters, he found Gao Jianwu alone and prepared to operate this matter with Gao Jianwu.
"John, what's wrong? Do you want to level up again? Gao Jianwu was a little strange when he heard Smith's topic, and after being stunned for a moment, he replied with a smile.
"No, no, no, it's not me," General Smith shook his head, "I've heard that your friend in the Americas is a pretty capable man, if we can, let's try to see if we can get that guy from Mike down, and then send General Steven up, to be honest, it's not a day or two since you don't get used to that old guy from Mike." ”
General Smith did not hide his thoughts about Gao Jianwu at all.
With Smith's understanding of Gao Jianwu, there is no need to go around in circles with Gao Jianwu when talking about things, it is best to be straightforward.
When Gao Jianwu heard General Smith's idea, his heart shook violently, and a mouthful of water almost collapsed and squirted out!
Good guys, really good guys!
Smith, this upright baby, looks very honest, but I didn't expect to dare to think about making the boss back!
And it's really direct enough to yourself.
There are a lot of stories in this alliance, and I am an outsider, and now I have met them all.
There are not only disputes between the mountains in this allied army, but there are also a lot of knives in the back at critical moments, and sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, both at home and abroad.
You see, Smith, who was close to General Steven, has now learned to take the initiative to push his boss to the top.
This time I came to Ryukyu to make a lot of extra money to build two destroyers, this matter is not over yet, it is possible to trigger an infighting between their mountains?
Gao Jianwu said that he was very wronged and a little confused, to be honest, Gao Jianwu did not know the ins and outs of this trip to troubled waters at all.
He didn't dare to rashly agree to meddle in this matter, although he didn't know about the personnel entanglements in the Allied forces.
"John, this is so sudden, can you tell me what the hell is going on, okay? Frankly speaking, my friend has some influence in the Americas, but it is not very big, if possible, there is no big problem with matchmaking or something, and I can't really guarantee whether it will be able to get things done. ”
"As long as you are willing to help, then it's fine, and we will work together to promote the rest of the things, and it's good if we can do it, and if we can't do it, we won't lose anything." General Smith said happily that Gao Jianwu did not refuse to help, and this was a good start.
"This is how it is..."Smith then slowly explained the cause and effect of the incident to Gao Jianwu.
Gao Jianwu was a little dumbfounded after hearing this, and if he intervened like this, the emperor with a small book might be messed with by himself in advance?
According to the current situation, even if Gao Jianwu does not play politics, he has little insight in this regard.
But a complaining commander, if a group of people below say no, the high-level side will find a capable person to thread the needle and lead the way, maybe it will really work.
What's more, General Smith and General Steven can get mixed up like this, and there is no big man standing behind them.
Thinking of this, Gao Jianwu's heart fluctuated a little, and he participated in this matter.
Maybe it's an opportunity to change the big events in history.
Although it is said that this time it is a passive participation, it is polite to say that he obviously has a decisive influence in this matter.
If you can participate, you have to make good use of this matter, for the time being, this matter is done, and letting the high-ranking General Steven and General Smith connect with Situ and them will obviously be of great benefit to Situ and their operation in the Americas in the future.
But the bigger the matter, the more Gao Jianwu can't make his own decisions, thinking of this, Gao Jianwu said to Smith.
"John, I'm definitely on your side in this matter, but frankly I'm an outsider, and my friends have influence in the White House, which doesn't mean that I can do it, so I'll have to consult with my friends and listen to their opinions before I can answer you."
"High, I can understand. This is not a trivial matter, I also think that this matter is an opportunity, General Steven for me and you, there is no doubt about the inclination, if there is a chance to help General Steven, I think, we will have more opportunities in the future. ”
General Smith mixed into a lieutenant general, although it is said that there is a big component of following Gao Jianwu to win the battle, but he is not a straw bag, after all, he climbed to the position of colonel of General Steven's assistant with his own strength in the early days.
These two secretly planned this, and now that General Smith had not even communicated with General Steven, it seemed to him that he had an eyebrow before discussing this matter with General Steven.
After Gao Jianwu finished his meeting with General Smith, he sorted out his thoughts a little, and then directly described the matter briefly in a top-secret manner, and sent a secret telegram to China.
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with the Eighth Road Headquarters, in Gao Jianwu's opinion, no one understands this kind of thing better than those two gentlemen, and they will definitely be able to analyze whether they should do these things from a more comprehensive perspective.
At the same time, Gao Jianwu also sorted out a list of several well-known figures involved in these matters, and sent a telegram to Mr. Situ to inquire about their relationship and factions, especially the relationship with the current one of the White House, this group of people is almost the top of the American military and political circles, and now he is confused, but he does not dare to act rashly.
...
"Full assistance!" The call back from the mainland was simple and straightforward.
Let Gao Jianwu suddenly have a clear direction.
In contrast, Mr. Szeto's call back was much more detailed.
Make the relationship between General Steven and General Mack very clear.
After Gao Jianwu read this callback, he suddenly had a bottom in his heart.
There are a lot of stories in the middle of co-authoring, neither of which are ordinary people, no wonder General Smith wants to ask himself for help, he values the relationship between his side and the deputy of the white house, and wants to have one more chance to win in the evenly matched internal strife.
Obviously, for the current White House, General Mack and General Maher are the same left and right hands, even if he was stabbed in the back by General Mack once, but they are old friends for two generations, and it is difficult to shake between leisure.
If there is no strong third party to upset this balance, there is really no good way to shake it.
...
"John, my friend thinks there's a lot to be said about it." Gao Jianwu saw Smith again, "If you need help here, I can put our friend in touch with the White House Deputy, and you can act as a bridge between General Maher and General Steven and Harry."
I know that it will be difficult to convince General Maher to do this, because General Maher's relationship with the White House Deputy has not been so strong, and it has been a bit of a disagreement.
Not even in your military circles have many heavyweights who have a personal relationship with Harry.
But I personally think it's time for a change.
You, General Steven, and General Maher would do well to strengthen your relationship with the White House Deputy alone.
Mr. Harry is a very capable man, and he will be very helpful in what you are going to push for now. Gao Jianwu nodded to the end.
After all, the white house shouldn't be able to survive for long, although Gao Jianwu doesn't know exactly when, but he has the impression that it is this year.
"Gao, thank you for being so helpful. We will do what you say. Then let's start pushing for it. Smith didn't expect Gao Jianwu's friend to decide to help him so quickly, obviously it was for Gao Jianwu's sake.
Although the two of them's backer, General Maher, have a good relationship with the White House, but General Mack is not a vegetarian, has a deep foundation, and has a relationship with the upper echelons.
Now Gao Jianwu's friends can help push it, which is naturally a good thing.
The Harry of the White House, everyone really doesn't usually look at it, after all, as we all know, it is a mascot-like existence.
But since Gao Jianwu said so, General Smith also listened to the persuasion, he had worked with Gao Jianwu for so long, and he knew that Gao Jianwu never joked when he was talking about business.
"Let's work together, this matter doesn't seem to be so easy, if there is anything we need to pay attention to, then I suggest that this does not involve General Steven in advance, now John you have a secret to promote, find an opportunity to go to Washington, and then communicate with Maher and the White House separately, the camera acts, we can't make this matter boil at the beginning, this is not conducive to the development of the work, we have to do this thing so naturally." Since he wanted to assist Smith in his success, Gao Jianwu also thought of some details by heart.
"Now, the most important thing is to collect feedback from colleagues and soldiers, and then give feedback to the top management, so that General Maher can do things smoothly."
...
After the two conspired, sure enough, taking advantage of the gap between the Ryukyu and the Ryukyus, Smith returned home with the matter of coordinating the bombers to bomb the Devil's homeland through the Ryukyus, and began to bring back home the opinions that had been collected from the Allies that were quite unfavorable to General Mack.
According to Gao Jianwu's instructions, Mr. Situ visited the deputy of the white house, and the two hit it off very happily, Harry is naturally very concerned about the proximity of important people in the military world, as a spare tire mascot, Harry actually didn't know that the opportunity to send a great task from heaven was coming soon.
In his plan, An An will steadily take the mascot of this year's spare tire, and at the same time accumulate good connections in the political and economic circles and military circles, so after the current resignation, he will have the opportunity to rush to see if he can take the position.
General Mack's attitude towards Harry, he knows very well, this person will never have a chance to pull into his camp, or even become an opponent!
Harry hadn't forgotten that General Mack had jumped out to compete with them.
If General Mack is not defeated and he is made to a great reputation, Harry is not sure that he will be able to win him in future competitions.
If there is a chance, it is better to let this veteran go home to retire, speaking of which, now that this veteran is in his 60s and is in his 70s, he should be honored to be worthy of the country's heart for meritorious heroes.
Naturally, Harry began to exert all his strength to push this forward, and General Maher, for his part, was shocked by some of the feedback that General Smith had brought back, he did not expect General Mack to be so unpopular now.
However, General Maher also has some understanding, this old guy Mike really has no sympathy for his subordinates, this Ryukyu Campaign, if he hadn't opposed it and brought Gao Jianwu, the god of war, over, how could the allies have suffered so heavy casualties.
It can be seen from this that in terms of combat command, General Mack is not on the same level at all with the Chinese man named Gao Jianwu. Moreover, General Mack is still stubborn, and often ignores the opinions of General Steven and other subordinates.
In the Western Pacific Theater, General Mack can be said to cover the sky with one hand, so that the people below are now so explosively rebounding. Before General Smith returned, General Maher had received some rumors and feedback, but at that time Maher thought it was just some resentment from some of his subordinates.
Now the information that General Smith has brought back shows that this is no longer the grievance of individual subordinates, but an emotion that is gathering up and down the entire theater of operations.
At the critical moment when the small book of the raiders was local, such an anomaly appeared, and Maher thought that it was not a trivial matter.
