The Casablanca Hotel's back garden has been renovated, and tables covered with crisp white tablecloths are stocked with cold meals and mulled wines in different colors.

Delegates from various countries gathered in groups and whispered something, and although the atmosphere seemed to be quite relaxed and harmonious, there was no trace of enjoyment on the faces of these people.

When Zhou Yu appeared on the lawn with Roosevelt in his arms, everyone stopped talking and saluted them.

General Paul, who attended the meeting on behalf of the Soviet side, saw Zhou Yu, hurriedly walked two steps to greet him, bowed and saluted: "It is a great pleasure to meet you here, Mr. Bruce, you have played a very important role in the new weapons we have provided on the battlefield, our leader wants me to convey my gratitude and kindness to you, and he also said that if you can, please ask Mr. Bruce to send some armored reinforcements to help us repel Nazi Germany and crush Hitler's plot." ”

The Soviet representative did not go to Roosevelt or Williams at the first time, but came to Zhou Yu and said the above words in an extremely pleading manner.

You must know that at today's meeting, Zhou Yu is the only one with an oriental face, which can also reflect from the side that even the federal government of the New World, which claims to be the most tolerant, feels that white people should be responsible for fighting wars, and other people of color only need to obey orders.

Zhou Yu patted the other party's shoulder with a smile and said: "Mr. Paul, you don't have to be polite, we are all allies, and we are all doing this to smash the fascist conspiracy, return peace to the world, and save more people in dire straits." ”

Paul, the representative of the Soviet side, was very excited, and he was able to restrain his emotions and bid farewell to Zhou Yu, because he had not forgotten what the real purpose of his coming to the meeting today was.

"Bruce, when did you supply weapons to the battlefield to the north? Are your men going to help them fight now? ”

Roosevelt asked seemingly casually, but in fact his heart was already alert, because he didn't know what weapon support Zhou Yu had provided to the Soviet side.

"Hehehe, my President, of course, the most advanced weapons are all equipped on our federal army, and what is provided to them are some newer obsolete products, you know, my other identity is a businessman, why not do something profitable? Since it's our chamber of commerce's internal business, there's no need to tell you, Mr. President, right? ”

Roosevelt was stunned, his expression rather embarrassed.

At this moment, a voice eased the tension between Zhou Yu and Roosevelt.

"Hey Franklin~Hey Bruce~ You're all here early."

Williams and Churchill, who had beer bellies, also appeared on the lawn, greeted Roosevelt and Zhou Yu, picked up a glass of red wine from the table, took a sip, and nodded frequently.

On the lawn, there were more than 50 chiefs of staff and presidential think tanks representing all sides, and everyone was talking and laughing to test each other's bottom line, and this buffet was undoubtedly the appetizer before the official meeting began.

After the meal, the Casablanca meeting officially began, and Williams took the lead in making his own request.

In fact, Zhou Yu already knew his requirements, and Roosevelt guessed most of them, which was nothing more than to tilt all the forces of the Allies to the European battlefield and the Mediterranean, to put it bluntly, to help his British Empire drive away all the German troops in the colonies, help them restore sea supremacy, destroy and drive away the German submarines, and resume shipping, so that they can continuously transport manpower and supplies to any country.

The Soviet representative, General Paul, naturally did not agree, and he still hoped that the Allies should mobilize most of their forces to the rear of the German army to launch a surprise attack, so as to solve the crisis in Leningrad and Moscow.

As for the two representatives who maintained France and Free France, they put all their energies on their own legitimacy and quarreled with each other.

After listening to everyone's suggestions, Roosevelt did not rush to express his position, but looked at Zhou Yu next to him.

Ignoring the suggestions of the other representatives, he felt that Zhou Yu and Williams must have reached some agreement behind his back, and Roosevelt had to wait until Zhou Yu threw his hole cards and he was trying to solve the cards.

But who knew that Zhou Yu not only did not agree with Williams' suggestion, but instead confronted him, and the questions raised by Zhou Yu were reasonable, the same together, like a series of cannons.

At this time, Churchill, who was beside Williams, began to attack, and he said in a tone that could be angry at any moment: "The German army has deployed forty-four divisions in France, which is enough to encircle us and annihilate us in one fell swoop.

We propose that we need twelve divisions to land in Northern Europe instead of six, that we need to strengthen our training in amphibious warfare, that we reduce the production of landing ships and replace them with more frigates, and that we must unite among our allies, because we have no intention of occupying Italy, which will only increase our burden and not be rewarded accordingly......"

After listening to Churchill's eloquent talk, Zhou Yu once again gave a counterattack, and his purpose was also very clear, that is, to put the main forces of the Allied forces in the east, in the Pacific theater, and in the war between China and the Japanese army.

"No, no, Mr. Bruce, we can't defeat Japan and Germany at the same time, and given the long way to go, we don't think it's possible to hit Japan first, and if you insist on doing so, we'll lose the war."

In the following meeting, the main topics of debate were focused on Churchill and Zhou Yu, the two went back and forth, arguing fiercely for more than two hours, but in the end neither could convince the other party, and Zhou Yu's disappointment at the end of the meeting was overflowing.

However, the deadlock was soon broken, and Williams offered a plan in which he believed that the Allies could attack Japan, but they could not miss the opportunity to fight the Nazis, but his compromise was still rejected by Zhou Yu, and it was not until Roosevelt, who had not spoken out, that the debate was finally settled.

"I think this is a good approach by Prime Minister Williams and Mr. Churchill, Bruce, we still have to put the war against Germany first, but I assure you that we will continue to put pressure on Japan in the east until we are free to wipe them out completely."

When Zhou Yu heard Roosevelt's words, he immediately asked, "How to continue to exert pressure?" Who to send to put pressure? Where to put pressure? Mr. President, the purpose of this meeting is to refine the entire plan, preferably down to how many soldiers there are in each battalion, each company, and each platoon, where they are stationed, whether to attack, defend, or respond. ”

Roosevelt was stunned by his question, and then had the illusion of falling into Zhou Yu's language trap, and he now had some doubts, was the-for-tat between Zhou Yu and that Churchill just now played for him?

Although Roosevelt thought so, he had no evidence and could only agree first.

At the end of the first day, Roosevelt, accompanied by Patton, inspected the local Union soldiers, inspected the Ninth Infantry Division, walked along the verdant staircase under the castle, and placed two wreaths on the memorial to the fallen soldiers amid the trumpets of several adjutants, and took off his hat and bowed in silence for a long time.

When he returned to Casablanca after doing this, Roosevelt met with Charles de Gaulle and Giraud, the leaders of France and Free France.

The two men barely interjected in the morning meeting, and could only wait for Roosevelt to be called for help in private.

At this moment, the flashing lights came on, and reporters and photographers gathered on the lawn outside the villa, trying to get some valuable news from the mouth of the president.

Roosevelt's answer, however, was simple, saying that the war could only end in an acceptable way if the Axis powers surrendered unconditionally.

The two generals, Charles de Gaulle and Giraud, also shook hands with stiff smiles under Roosevelt's matchmaking, allowing the reporters to take enough pictures, but the people around them could see that this scene was quite embarrassing, after all, the two generals did not recognize each other and thought that they were the orthodox of France.

Finally, after a day of shit, Roosevelt returned to his villa and pinched his eyebrows.

His think tank arrived belatedly, sweating profusely one by one, and after seeing his own president, he scrambled to justify his mistakes, but was interrupted by the former waving his hand.

"Okay, I don't want to listen to your reasons now, I will focus on the next meeting, my requirements are two, one, support Williams, the focus of the Allies should be on Europe, but the Pacific Theater cannot be relaxed, and some pressure must be symbolically put on the Japanese army.

Second, hasn't Zhou Yu always cared about his Huaxia Continent? You come up with a detailed plan to encircle and starve the Japanese army in the Pacific, remember, just encirclement, not to fight the enemy head-on, we need to stabilize the situation in Europe first. ”

"Okay Mr. President, even if we don't sleep tonight, we must come up with a perfect and mature plan, you can rest assured, there will be no more mistakes!"
