Before the intelligence summary was finished, Ayers called and asked him to go to the White House.

Li Junhao knows that this is the time for a showdown!

At ten o'clock, when he entered the White House, everyone he saw greeted him warmly, and some acquaintances asked him with a smile where he had been in the past few days, and he responded with a smile one by one! No matter who the president is, he has to admit that these people who can get into the White House are elites in all industries.

Although the current background check is not as strict as in later generations, it is basically impossible to cheat, so everyone's net worth is innocent. Of course, like Hopkins and McIntyre, there are those who are trusted by the president and are promoted to a high position at once, but they will reveal their true colors after a short period of concealment.

In the Oval Office, he met Roosevelt, who was in good spirits, and after sending everyone else out, motioning for him to make his own tea, he said, "Ogy, this is actually the first time we have talked alone, right?" ”

"yes!" Li Junhao sat on the sofa, expertly brewing new tea, "Every time I saw you before, I was with other people, and this is the first time I have talked alone. ”

Roosevelt nodded, reached out and took the cup of tea he handed over, and said with a smile: "Oger, do you know, since you entered the White House, you have brought up the culture of drinking tea in the past two years, and now there are tea leaves in various offices!" ”

"That's great, I'm going to hang out more in the future, what kind of tea do they have?" Li Junhao said with a smile.

"Well, I've got your back." Roosevelt also smiled, "Find out all their good teas and share them with me!" The point of this is already obvious.

Li Junhao nodded and said, "No problem, with your support, I dare to get all the tea leaves from Ayres and Leahy!" "Talking between smart people, that's enough.

The two drank tea and chatted for a while, and after three rounds of tea, Li Junhao got up to say goodbye and let Roosevelt rest more, and when he went out, he heard the president ask behind his back: "Oge, do you think I will be re-elected this time?" ”

"Of course!" Li Junhao looked back and smiled, "However, you still have to pay attention to take care of your health, the president's work is very heavy!" ”

Roosevelt gave him a deep look and nodded, "Thank you, Og!" ”

——

On Monday, October 2, Harry Hopkins, special assistant to the president, who had just returned from the Soviet Union, was appointed assistant secretary of state for Soviet and Eastern European affairs, becoming an official official of the administration, but was no longer eligible to enter and leave the White House at will.

At a joint meeting of White House advisers and the Joint Chiefs of Staff held on the same day, Secretary of State Hull gave a briefing on the preparations for a new round of the allied summit meeting, but in fact, the key issue was still that one: the Soviet side did not cooperate, and it was unable to determine the time and place of the meeting for a long time, and the other allies made it clear that they were willing to obey the arrangements of the US side.

Everyone remembered the last time Li Junhao spoke on this issue, and let him talk about it, and Roosevelt also expressed his desire to hear his opinion.

Li Junhao said directly: "I think the meeting time is set for the end of January next year, and the whole battle situation will be clearer at that time; Let's take the place in the Dominion of Newfoundland! ”

"Why are you there?" Hull asked, puzzled.

"Because of that place, I went to the president and Ayles once, and I know it well!" Li Junhao said.

"Pounce ......" everyone laughed.

After a while, Hull asked, "What if the Soviets don't come?" ”

"Don't pull it down!" Li Junhao said, "The heads of other allied countries are coming, but if he doesn't come, he will cut himself off from us, and he will bear the consequences later!" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but the more they thought about it, the more they felt that it made sense, yes, all the allies are coming, and the Soviet Union is not coming, then it is not the problem of the United States!

Even Roosevelt's brow loosened, and he thought: things are so simple, they have complicated them before.

At this time, Li Junhao said again: "Mr. Hull, the Chinese side is also coming, right?" ”

"Of course." Herdau, "Their Chairman Chiang had already agreed. ”

"Hmm!" Li Junhao nodded, "I suggest inviting people from the underground party to come, which is more representative." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Ayres said as a representative: "Og, China's Kuomintang is the ruling party!" ”

"Just because it is now does not mean that it will be in the future." Li Junhao said, "Just like the United States, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have to fight once every four years, and who knows who will be in power in four years on the Chinese side!" ”

After a series of previous incidents, everyone did not take his "prophecy" lightly, and although they still did not understand it, Roosevelt and everyone agreed.

Next, discussing the war situation, the Pacific Theater will continue to seize islands, compress the living space of the Japanese army, and force the Japanese mainland, which is still the consensus; The key point is that some of the problems encountered in the European theater of operations, especially the problem of insufficient supply of supplies for the expeditionary force, are not none, but the distance from the French coastal ports to the front line is too long, transportation is difficult, and in addition to the constant harassment of the German army, the materials cannot be transported.

There is no good way to deal with this, even Li Junhao can only suggest that the leadership of the Allied forces must be unified, and there must be no more "Operation Market Garden", because Montgomery's personal ideas are to divert military supplies from other troops.

On this point, Li Junhao unceremoniously criticized Eisenhower's compromise with Britain, believing that as the commander-in-chief of the Allied Expeditionary Force, he should be able to achieve a bowl of water, but in order to take care of the British people's feelings, he repeatedly agreed to the unreasonable demands of the British army, which not only pitted the US military, but also affected the course of the entire European war situation, which was a very dereliction of duty.

Marshall could not say that he was wrong with this criticism, because Eisenhower did go a little too far.

Li Junhao now has the confidence to say any of his opinions, and directly said that the Allies do not need a general like Montgomery, even if he becomes the commander-in-chief of the British army, a blind command of a marshal is more terrible than a German army group, and he can't be allowed to spoil the affairs of the Allies anymore!

All the participants felt that Pan Sen was getting sharper and sharper now, and he wouldn't have been so sharp before, could it be that something happened that everyone didn't know?

In addition, some people have noticed Roosevelt's attitude and found that even if Panson spoke so directly, even several times more radical than the foreign policy currently being implemented, the president did not show an unhappy expression, but seemed to be thinking seriously, which is very strange!

Only Ayres wondered in his heart: it seems that Panson has made a private agreement with the president?
