Chapter 408: Casablanca
Roosevelt looked at Zhou Yu quietly, and Zhou Yu also looked at him quietly, the two were silent for a long time, only the snowflakes outside the window kept fluttering.
"Okay Bruce, I've tolerated your people training mercenaries in the desert, and I've tolerated you sending supplies to the Chinese mainland in the name of the federal government, but I will never tolerate you uniting minorities to govern themselves in Arkansas, Kansas, Alaska, Florida, and the Caribbean!"
Roosevelt broke the silence and slapped his hand on the table as he spoke, looking very excited.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhou Yu signaled the other party not to get excited, and said in an unhappy tone: "Engage in autonomy? My Lord, it seems that the federal government is originally self-governing for the states, so why is it that I don't allow it? Again, our Dragon Chamber of Commerce has contributed a lot to the development of the New World, the radios you use now, the TV movies you watch, the penicillin that heals and saves people, the indestructible tanks, and even the bubble gum and straws are all contributed by us, why can't you see it? ”
Roosevelt had a toothache when he heard this, because what Zhou Yu said was true, and his scientific research team didn't know where they came from.
"Bruce, don't think I don't know what you want to do, I can tell you now that your ideas are dangerous, and that could put you in a situation from which you will never recover."
Roosevelt used the idiom "doomed," which was already a very heavy word for him.
However, Zhou Yu seemed to be quite relaxed, leaned back in his chair and said: "Franklin, my friend, don't forget that we have a common enemy now, the Axis is undefeated, and it is too early to say anything, I think we should focus on this meeting in Casablanca." ”
The corners of Roosevelt's eyes jumped slightly, and he took a deep breath and said, "You're right, it's futile for the Axis to be undefeated...... But I still have to remind you that Bruce wants to be friends, not enemies. ”
Zhou Yu didn't answer, but stood up and pointed to the back and said, "I want to go to the restaurant now to have a veal steak with red wine, do you want to go together?" ”
"No, I'm not hungry."
Zhou Yu pursed his lips in disappointment, made a gentleman's salute and left slowly.
Seeing that Zhou Yu was really going in the direction of the restaurant, Roosevelt said loudly: "Guards! Come! ”
The box door opened, and the cripple poked his head in and said, "Mr. President, what do you command?" ”
"How are you!? What about my people? ”
The cripple smiled and said: "They are sloppy and missed the time, now I will be responsible for the security and services here, don't worry, you are satisfied." ”
Roosevelt glared, not understanding how the other party did it, could it be that all the people in the White House had been replaced by theirs?
Roosevelt was puzzled, and today's situation was also the last advantage that Zhou Yu had as a person who had come over.
Zhou Yu knew that Roosevelt was now wary of him, both openly and secretly, and if he wanted to dominate the next war, he would have to infiltrate the White House and even Congress.
Zhou Yu's purpose is actually for the current Roosevelt, that is, Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, he wants to engage in secession in the New World, that is, to create a country China.
Zhou Yu's vigorous development of influence in science and technology and people's livelihood is clearly reflected at this moment, and in the eyes of many non-white descendants in the New World, the Dragon Chamber of Commerce is much more reliable than the federal government.
In addition, the aborigines with a large base are also Zhou Yu's staunch allies, because he has prepared well enough and advanced enough, so that the federal government does not notice it at all, and when it feels wrong, it is found that the other party has been entrenched in a certain field and cannot be shaken.
For example, Roosevelt's itinerary can be said to be quite secretive, originally he planned to take the Magellan, pretend to go north to Maryland, to his home in Hyde Park, New York, and then make a U-turn south on a branch line at Fort Meade.
However, Zhou Yu's foresight made this top-secret trip lose its original effect, and his bodyguards and accompanying staff got another piece of news, and instead of going to the Magellan to wait for their president, all the intelligence officers waiting here were arranged by the cripple.
On this journey, they changed seaplanes and warships, and when they arrived in Casablanca, no one even knew that it was the president of the New World.
Casablanca has a temperate climate with coconut palms, begonias and mimosas that stretch down the mountain to the sea.
The head here is George Barton, the Governor General of the Federal Government in Morocco.
When he saw the president appear in front of him, he rubbed his eyes, thinking that he didn't wake up from a hangover last night, and after confirming that it was indeed Roosevelt, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, because the news he received from the president did not arrive today.
Fortunately, for this meeting, Barton had already made arrangements for his subordinates in advance, and the eighteen villas scattered around Anfa were used to entertain the participants from various countries, and he also had the sappers remove steel plates from a ship, and the swimming pool was converted into an air-raid shelter, and the tall windows were also equipped with iron fences, and the soldiers searched all the surrounding places with mine detectors, and the military doctors even tested the food and bottled water provided for the party before sending it to the heavily guarded storage room.
In addition, London had come from afar to deliver a case of fine brandy, and Eisenhower had sent three cases of gin and three cases of Scotch whisky from Algiers upon request, plus five young officers selected from the Army Women's Auxiliary.
The chief in charge of security racked his brains and sternly admonished the soldiers stationed here, and George Washington, on horseback on the barracks poster, advised them not to use foul language, especially at this critical time.
Participants from Washington, London, Gibraltar and Algiers were rushed into the cars waiting there as soon as they arrived at the inland airports.
On the drive to Anfa, the windows of the cars were smeared with mud to hide people's eyes, and a diplomat said soldiers near the runway carefully picked up a handful of mud and gloated at the shiny sedan.
Representatives of the British and Soviet sides arrived in Casablanca, and when Zhou Yu met Williams, he found that the latter was not only wearing a fake beard, but also wearing the uniform of an air force pilot.
"Hehehe~ Williams, it's been a long time since I've seen my friend."
"Bruce? Oh ~ oh my god ~ aren't you going to be old? Hahaha~~I'm so happy to see you~! ”
Whether it was sincere or false, Zhou Yu and Williams warmly hugged and shook hands, and walked together shoulder to shoulder.
In this process, Zhou Yu also glanced at Churchill who was following Williams, and the latter's appearance was not much different from his impression, just younger and thinner.
