Because of Li Junhao's poaching moves, Secretary of War Stimson ran to the White House to sue him!

To this end, he submitted an explanatory report to the President and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In the report, he analyzed and summarized the tasks and functions of the U.S. Marine Corps, and explained the necessity for him to do so.

"As the third largest branch of the U.S. armed forces, the tasks and capabilities required by the Navy and Land are divided into three categories:

"First, maintain the amphibious combat capability that can be dispatched at any time and be able to successfully land;

"Second, it has the ability to respond to sudden crises at any time, and to be able to immediately dispatch appropriate forces to intervene in the occurrence of special situations at home and abroad after receiving an order from the President;

"Thirdly, in accordance with the provisions of the law, guard detachments are dispatched to defend foreign institutions, military bases, as well as to carry out additional tasks required by the President.

"Under the requirements of such a mission, the Marine Corps must have the valuable quality of eternal loyalty, the strict standard of discipline as steel, the use of sophisticated weapons and equipment in its hands, the ability to land on the beaches of the islands and coasts, the ability to transport and deliver high-speed and efficient transportation, and the perfect military logistics support, and now the Navy and Land Command is working hard to improve these aspects......"

President Roosevelt, who saw this report, agreed very much, and directly took it out and circulated it to the generals at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, so that the army and navy had nothing to say - they also wanted to brag, but there were too many problems on their side, and they didn't dare to say these hard words!

After the meeting, Ayres pulled him to his office, and then smiled: "Og, you guy, you are obviously digging other people's corners, but you are so righteous and awe-inspiring, it seems that people are wrong!" ”

"Haha......" Li Junhao laughed, "Uncle, I can't help it!" You see, there is a shortage of talents on my side, but there are so many people in the army and navy who have no chance to rise. ”

On December 1, the Cairo Declaration was issued simultaneously in Chongqing, China, Washington, D.C., and London.

From November 23 to 26, a delegation led by Roosevelt of the United States, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Chairman Chiang of China held an allied summit in Cairo, Egypt.

In fact, before the meeting, the White House informed Li Junhao that he hoped that he could accompany the president to the meeting, but he refused, claiming that he was reorganizing the army and had no time to separate himself - the real reason was that he was not impatient to participate in such an international conference full of controversy and ridicule, not to mention that he had already known the results!

Of course, he is not denying the importance of the Cairo Conference, especially for China, which demanded that Japan surrender unconditionally, return all the land it occupied, and shape the new situation in East Asia after the war; Make it clear that China has become the world's top four!

Li Junhao was happy that China was recognized by the new world order, but he still devoted his main energy to the work of the Marine Corps.

——

In mid-December, the 101st Army, the 3rd and 3rd Amphibious Armies, which had returned from Burma and Australia, arrived in the United States, and Li Junhao arranged for them to be transferred to the newly expanded No. 1 Sea and Land Base in Virginia Beach.

Li Junhao first went to visit the 101st Group Army, this unit is now restored to its original purity, all Chinese officers and soldiers, after the baptism of two Burma campaigns, the current 58,000 officers and soldiers have become excellent soldiers, but more than 2,000 people were killed in battle, and nearly 5,000 people were disabled and retired, which made him feel distressed.

However, when they saw him appear, these 58,000 officers and soldiers were all excited, and after an interval of four months, they saw the young commander who commanded them to kill devils, and they couldn't help shouting in unison: "Hello Chief Pan Sen!" ……”

The huge sound and wave shocked the 3rd and 5th amphibious armies stationed on the other side of the base! Many officers and soldiers thought that they had long heard that their new commander had commanded three major battles in Southeast Asia and eliminated 400,000 little devils.

Subsequently, Li Junhao went to meet with the officers and men of the 3rd and 5th Amphibious Corps, and then had lunch with a group of generals to inquire about the situation of their troops......

Speaking of this, the generals are all complaining, and they have a lot of opinions about the commanders of the Navy's Pacific Fleet who command them to fight, especially in terms of equipment supply, in their words: If the weapons on land and sea were a little better, there would not be as many casualties as 25,000 people at all! And all this, they have reflected to the Navy many times, but there is no reply, let alone a solution.

Those naval officers and men would rather throw a large number of M1 carbines in the equipment compartment and sleep than take them out for their land and sea soldiers!

While the sailors were eating a seafood feast on the warship, the marines were fighting on the islands, but they could not even guarantee clean drinking water, and the standard combat rations were not supplied in time......

Listening to the complaints of the generals, Li Junhao nodded and said solemnly: "I didn't know about the previous things, and I didn't have the ability to take care of them, but now that I have come to Hailu, I am a family with everyone!"

"So, after I learned a little about the situation, I immediately persuaded the Joint Chiefs of Staff to transfer them all back, on the one hand, to rest, and on the other hand, to change clothes.

"I don't dare to say anything about warships, but the weapons and equipment needed for landing and ground operations must be changed - as long as I am the commander of the sea and land, I will no longer let soldiers go to the battlefield with weapons from World War I!"

Subsequently, Li Junhao gave these troops half a month's non-camp leave, and the logistics department guaranteed the supply, so that everyone had a stable and happy Christmas and New Year's Day.

On the other side of the White House, President Roosevelt, who had already returned, also brought back other achievements -- the "Tehran General Agreement of the Three Kingdoms of the Soviet Union, the United States, and Britain" that was secretly signed, and the "Declaration on Iran" and the "Tehran Declaration" that he and Churchill had achieved after they had rushed directly to Tehran and continued their three-day meeting with Stalin after the Cairo Conference.

Li Junhao paid a little attention to this, and only briefly looked at the most secret military part and did not pay attention to it, but focused on the idea of the three major powers deciding to establish a world-wide international organization, and he knew that this organization would be the United Nations in the future.

After reading it, he pouted, in the final analysis, it is these three big countries that put their own interests above all other countries, and the establishment of the United Nations will ensure this, which is good for the world and even more beneficial to the three countries!
