Chapter 409: The Restless President
Because the Soviets were under a full-scale attack by the Nazis, their top leaders could not attend the Casablanca conference, and had to send their representatives to the meeting, Paul, to share their opinions with everyone.
Zhou Yu took Williams' shoulders, and the two walked into a villa together.
"Williams, my friend, how are you doing? You really need to lose weight. ”
Zhou Yu saw Williams squeezing into the villa door with difficulty, and said with a little teasing.
"Oh yes, it's time for me to lose weight, but not now, unless Hitler will burp tomorrow."
"Hehe~ Williams, I hope you can be on my side in this meeting."
"Huh?"
Zhou Yu's sudden words stunned Williams, and he subconsciously said: "We are allies, I will naturally stand on the ......"
Williams slowly lost his voice when he said that, because he sensed the meaning of Zhou Yu's words, he was on "his" side, not on the side of the "federal government", let alone on Roosevelt's side.
"Shhh...... Bruce, you mean ......"
Zhou Yu made a silent gesture and pointed to the corners of the villa's ceiling.
At this moment, the cripple quickly walked into the house with a few people and began to search for something in the corners.
After a while, the cripple gave an "OK" gesture, indicating that all the eavesdroppers in the room had been removed, and Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Now I can say it, that's what I mean, it's the same as what you think in your heart." ”
"This ......"
Williams wanted to seek the advice of his deputy Churchill, but found that there were only two people in the room at this time, him and Zhou Yu.
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, and I'll make conditions that you can't refuse."
"Can't refuse?"
Williams was visibly skeptical of Zhou Yu's words, and in his heart, he preferred to believe Roosevelt.
"Yes, you can't refuse the condition, that can make you a hero and savior of the British Empire again, have you forgotten how the last war was won?"
"This ......"
Zhou Yu's words evoked Williams's dusty memories for a long time, and he remembered that in the Somme, in Verdun, Zhou Yu, who was just a laborer, could already lead everyone to create miracles, so what about him now?
Williams calmed down and thought carefully, thinking about what advantages Zhou Yu has now.
The result of thinking made him frustrated, because he found that Zhou Yu had an advantage in many aspects, whether it was financial resources, technology, or the grasp of the battle situation, he had to throw others a few streets.
“...... Tell us about your plans. ”
Williams decided to listen to what Zhou Yu wanted to do first, so what benefits he could draw from it.
......
"Mr. President, why did you arrive early?"
In Roosevelt's villa, Eisenhower was about to report to the former, but he saw his president with a black face and seemed to be in a bad mood.
"David, can the radio be used here? I'm talking to Washington. ”
Roosevelt wanted to confirm where his entourage had been gotten by Zhou Yu.
"Oh, sorry Mr. President, the radios here are all put away for safety, and you can use the corded phone to make long distance ...... Oh, I forgot, last night a strong wind blew down a telephone pole, and the fallen pole hit the telephone base station right now, and it hasn't been repaired until now. ”
"What?"
Roosevelt felt a chill down his spine when he heard this, and he had reason to believe that these were all made up by Zhou Yu.
"Has this become an island?"
Eisenhower waved his hand and said: "Please rest assured, Mr. President, this place is a piece of iron bucket arranged by me, unless the Nazi German army is all dispatched, don't want to take this place, and we only broke through the south of Tunisia a while ago, and planted mines along the way, completely isolating Rommel's troops in Libya." ”
"You mean 'Operation Satan'? I have to say that this operation of yours is too risky, and our logistics simply cannot support it. ”
"No, no, no, Mr. President, I have taken several steps to definitely strengthen this new development, which I was meant to report to you today."
Roosevelt sighed and shook his head, interrupting Eisenhower's words.
"The Tunisian front stretched for more than two hundred miles from north to south, from the Mediterranean to the Sahara, and the members of the various forces were mixed, the French, the British, the Federalists, etc., mixed together and became a hodgepodge, and the mere command and coordination became a big problem.
In addition to this, the soldiers lack warm clothing, food for their stomachs, dysentery, parasites, athlete's foot and tooth decay will torture them insane, we now have to concentrate our limited forces, and after we have prepared supplies, we will decide where and how to fight, understand? ”
"Uh...... This...... Mr. President, this is your first day here, and it is surprising that you already know so thoroughly about the situation here. ”
Eisenhower was sweating when he heard this, but Roosevelt was not happy at all, because Zhou Yu told him these things.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Zhou Yu was the most outstanding of those people Roosevelt knew, both in terms of overall situation and military philosophy.
The most irritating thing is not that the opponent is strong, but that you know that the opponent is strong, but you have to use him all the time, because you find that there is no one to replace him.
"Okay, let's not talk about this topic for now, I need you to immediately arrange for me a team of soldiers to be responsible for the defense, and directly obey my command."
Roosevelt wanted to ensure his own safety first, and always let Zhou Yu's people follow him, which made him very uneasy.
"Yes, Mr. President."
With Eisenhower dismissed, Roosevelt turned his attention to the topic of the meeting.
Early the next morning, when Roosevelt walked out of the villa, he saw twenty carefully selected soldiers standing in the doorway.
They are heavily armed, their eyes are resolute, and their chests are puffed out, like a flock of proud roosters.
"Good morning, Mr. President, today's meeting is about to begin, let's go."
At this time, Zhou Yu came from the other side with a smile and grabbed Roosevelt's arm very intimately.
Because everyone knew that Mr. President's legs and feet were not very convenient, and when they saw his move, they thought it was a support, so no one stepped forward to stop him.
Bruce ...... I already have my own security guard, so you don't have to keep an eye on me and go about your business. ”
"No, no, no, my task is to take care of you, my president, have you forgotten how your leg healed?"
“......”
Roosevelt was speechless for a while, and he was now more and more unable to guess what Zhou Yu wanted to do.
If before, he thought that Zhou Yu wanted to divide the New World and create a state and county that belonged exclusively to the Chinese.
But now, it seems that his ambition is far more than that, this guy wants to turn the entire New World into the backyard of China!
