Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai
Chapter 1885: It’s better to provide icing on the cake than to provide help in times of need!
"You are still too young."
Just as Alex was looking around, trying to resonate, General Philip finally spoke calmly.
Alex and Haydn said unconvinced: "Then I would like to hear General Philip's opinion."
Philip said calmly: "Don't take your opinions seriously, and you are all elites in each department. In terms of tactics and strategy, you are not inferior to our seniors. It's just that your vision is too short-sighted and you have not seen the essence of the matter.
I quote a Chinese saying to sum it up: It is better to add icing on the cake than to provide help when the time is right! "
Alex retorted: "I have heard of these two idioms. The icing on the cake refers to adding flowers to the beautiful brocade fabric. The metaphor is slightly modified to make the beauty more beautiful, and the extended metaphor is to further build on the original achievement. Complete.
Giving charcoal in the snow means giving charcoal to someone to keep warm on a snowy day, which is a metaphor for giving material or spiritual help to others when they are in urgent need.
But I feel that providing help in times of need is not as good as adding icing on the cake.
If we help the Japanese win this war, I am afraid we will only have to pay a very small price. There is no need to even pay any price, we only need to support the Japanese in name.
But what do we get? But it is a huge benefit, and it can even divide China with the Japanese. The Japanese occupy the northeastern part of China, while we Americans can hold the emperor hostage and order the princes to defend the southwest.
Only in this way can the interests of the empire be maximized.
Instead, what if we need to provide help in times of need? Not only will it offend Japan, which has just emerged as the Asian hegemon, but it will also invest a lot of financial and material resources into the bottomless pit of China. And China will still fail, so what is the point of us doing this? "
"Colonel Alex is right."
Haydn echoed at this time, and Alex's words resonated with many people, including many members of the military advisory group on General Philip's side.
They have been in China for a long time and have witnessed with their own eyes the steady retreat of the Chinese army. So for Alex, we have to consider it.
But they thought General Philip followed suit, so they did not express their opinions.
But General Philip had already noticed that there was something strange about these people.
This is very bad, because if someone in the military advisory group changes sides, then this military aid operation may be cancelled. And those high-level officials in the United States will also place their hopes on Japan.
But in General Philip's view, this was very dangerous, because he had analyzed this matter with Duanwu before.
The Japanese are too ambitious. How can a China satisfy their appetite?
However, just when General Philip was about to say something, the door of the venue was pushed open, and Duan Wu walked in with a high head.
Duanwu said with a smile: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm a little late."
General Philip, Tom and others looked happy, because as long as the Dragon Boat Festival came, Alex and others would soon be speechless.
General Phillip had witnessed Dragon Boat Festival's sophistry ability with his own eyes. At least at the beginning, he was rendered speechless by the argument. But at this moment, Alex was the first to ask: "Is this Mr. Dragon Boat Festival? In fact, it doesn't matter whether you come or not, because we have read your country's battle plan and battle report. It can be said that China The army was at a complete disadvantage in this battle. For example, in the battle in the Songhu area, the number of casualties suffered by your army was more than three times that of Japan. They were also soldiers fighting with guns, and the combat quality of Chinese soldiers was simply too poor. He is the worst soldier I have ever seen!"
Duanwu kept listening silently, and then didn't say anything, just walked up to Alex.
Alex said in surprise: "What do you want to do?"
Bang!
Before Alex finished speaking, Dragon Boat Festival kicked Alex in the abdomen with lightning speed, sending Alex flying out and hitting the wall of the conference room before stopping. Come down.
Blood oozed from the corner of Alex's mouth and he glared at Dragon Boat Festival. At this time, Dragon Boat Festival said: "This kick is for the Chinese soldiers who died in the Battle of Songhu. They used their own flesh and blood to resist the Japanese in the Songhu area. My aircraft, artillery, and ship attacks. Their casualties are of course higher than those of the Japanese. So please be careful with your words next time you speak."
At this point, Duan Wu turned around to leave, but after thinking about it, he suddenly turned around and said: "Chinese soldiers are not weak at all. At least you, I can fight ten at a time."
After that, Dragon Boat Festival left, but not one of the American young officers dared to say anything.
Because the moment Duanwu took action, everyone present felt the murderous aura in Duanwu.
That kind of murderous aura can only be accumulated after killing many people. It is more than the total number of colonels like them.
But Alex didn't seem to feel it. He was kicked by Dragon Boat Festival and hit the wall again, feeling a little dazed.
And when he calmed down, Duanwu was about to leave.
Alex roared angrily and rushed towards Duanwu, but Duanwu seemed to have eyes behind him. He kicked Alex in the chest with a back kick and kicked Alex away again.
But this time, Alex stopped moving after hitting the wall. He was knocked out of breath by Dragon Boat Festival's kick.
The officer who followed him saw this and quickly rescued him.
At this time, Duanwu didn't care about Alex's life and death, but still returned to his seat.
The indifference on Duanwu's face inevitably made a look of fear appear on the faces of everyone present. Because judging from Duanwu's performance, he did dare to kill people. And never looked down upon them, the United States of America.
After a moment, Alex was rescued, screaming loudly that he was going to protest.
But Duanwu didn't pay attention to him at all, but said: "This gentleman just said that the quality of Chinese soldiers is not good. I just discussed with him. Everyone here should have no objections, right?"
"・・・"
Everyone was speechless and thought to themselves: Are you having a sparring match? You almost killed someone, right?
But Duanwu ignored everyone's gaze and continued: "Then, I will speak next to clarify the doubts of the officer corps and military advisory group present, why in this war, the United States must stand China's side.
I'm telling you, you have no choice. The Japanese ambitions are not just in Asia and Southeast Asia. They want the entire Pacific and all the interests of the United States in Southeast Asia.
And only if we hold the Japanese back on the Chinese battlefield can these interests of yours be preserved. Otherwise, you Americans will be completely driven out of the Pacific region by the Japanese! "
