Shadow Spy

Chapter 462 Why compromise?

Of course, Li Junhao can also simply ignore the reactions of Roosevelt, Truman and others, just grasp the power he has now and control the CIA and the land and sea. I believe no one will dare to touch him in a short time!

In addition, the secret files left by Edgar Hoover are also one of his trump cards. Even if political figures do not like him, he can still control most of them!

When the need arises, he can control many people. He may not be able to completely oust the president, but there is absolutely no problem in keeping his position. If necessary, he can even directly oust the president with great confidence.

Also, although Truman spoke ill of himself in front of Roosevelt and was an anti-communist himself, he knew that in previous lives, after taking over as president, this man did pretty well in politics, people's livelihood and other aspects. It's just that the relationship between the military and the disarmament issue is not very good, but there is nothing we can do about it. After the war, the country cannot retain tens of millions of troops!

If I plan ahead, can I cooperate with Truman?

Thinking of this, he felt like he had some idea in his mind. He stood up and walked to the window and looked in the direction of the White House. In fact, there were many buildings blocking it and the distance was quite far. He couldn't see there at all...

After smoking two cigarettes in a row, he made a decision: find an opportunity to talk to Roosevelt as soon as possible and make a last-ditch effort! It depends on whether it is worth accepting your kindness?
-

On August 8, at the White House advisory meeting on Wednesday, Li Junhao unexpectedly discovered that the president was actually present!

It could be seen that Roosevelt must have put on a certain amount of makeup and even applied blush to cover up his too-gray complexion, but even so, he still looked very haggard.

Today's advisory meeting is mainly to study the Allied Summit. As the actual leader of the Western countries, the United States actually makes the arrangements completely, but there is an important ally that refuses to cooperate - the Soviet Union!

I don’t know what the Soviet leader was thinking, but he just refused to cooperate with the arrangements of the United States, whether it was the time or location of the meeting. The United States asked the Soviet Union to make its own demands, but the other party actually said that the meeting would be held in the Soviet Union. , the reason is that the leader’s ears will hurt when flying!

However, how could Roosevelt still be able to travel long distances to the Soviet Union for meetings?

As a result, things become a deadlock!

To this end, the White House Advisory Council has held no fewer than five meetings on this matter since July. They all happened to be during the time when Li Junhao was commanding the landing campaign in Europe, so this was his first time to participate in the discussion on this issue.

He was not prepared to speak at first, but then he couldn't stand to listen any more. Roosevelt and his advisers had nothing to do about the Soviet Union's lack of cooperation. They just accommodated and gave in, and they even began to tend to let Roosevelt drag his illness to the Soviet Union!

"Gentlemen, I would like to say a few words..." Li Junhao said, "The Allies were jointly established by all anti-fascist countries. The four most important countries are the United States, Britain, China, and the Soviet Union, and the latter three countries The war is supported by our military aid from the United States... In this case, shouldn't we take the lead? Why should we compromise with the Soviet Union step by step?"

Hearing this, everyone in the meeting was stunned. General Leahy said subconsciously: "Of course it's because the Soviet Union controls 70% of Germany's troops on the Eastern Front, which greatly eases the pressure on the Allied forces on the Western Front..."

"No, this statement is wrong!" Li Junhao said, "First of all, we must make it clear that the German army took the initiative to attack the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union was the invaded party!

"After losing half of the country, the Soviet Union reacted and desperately fight against aggression ... During the period, my country provided a lot of assistance to it, and now it has even surpassed the sum of Britain and China!" Why? It is because many people hold the view that the Soviet Union held back most of the German troops, so the United States must support it, just like it supported China's war of resistance and Japan!

“But everyone has forgotten that the Soviet Union and China are different!

"China is the first and hardest-working country in the world to fight against fascist aggression, but its military industry is extremely weak and does not have the ability to copy or manufacture large-scale weapons and equipment. It basically relies on imports of weapons and equipment, and later on our military assistance. They get Weapons and equipment can only be used and consumed...

"The Soviet Union is a completely different situation. It has a very complete military industrial chain. Because of our attention, the amount of military aid it receives is dozens or hundreds of times that of China. On the other hand, it uses military aid to equip its own troops. At the same time, we are actively carrying out counterfeiting, including our new fighter planes, tanks, artillery, etc...

“Intelligence shows that the Soviet Union’s military industrial production capacity is now able to supply more than seven million troops!

"On the other hand, the Soviet army has now begun to enter the counterattack stage. They are suppressing the German army and fighting. This is no longer a matter of holding back the German army, but the German army cannot withdraw even if they want to! In other words, the German and Soviet forces are fighting The hatred between them made the German army dare not retreat at all!

“I don’t know if you have thought about it. The war has started so far, Italy has surrendered, and only Germany and Japan are the core of the Axis powers. How long can they last?

"I think, at most one year! So what about one year later? What will the world look like?" At this point, he stopped, and let these people think about the rest! Can you please understand that he is not responsible for explaining!

Of course, if he talks about this and there are still people who can't figure it out, there is only one possibility - he is pretending to be stupid, or he is a Soviet spy himself!

For example, Harry Hopkins was an ardent advocate of comprehensive assistance to the Soviet Union from beginning to end. He was also the contact between Roosevelt and Stalin and a good friend of both.

At the end of the meeting, Li Junhao paid special attention to the color of Roosevelt's light spot. It was not bad and did not continue to change. He wondered if he knew that he had participated in his "forced treatment", so he had some thoughts in his mind. Variety? If his attitude changes a little bit in a better direction, he will decide to save him! ——

When he returned to the office, Ayers followed him and expressed concern about what he just said. It was not that he thought what he said was wrong, but that such remarks were contrary to Roosevelt and Harry's long-standing attitude towards the Soviet Union. He was worried that these two people would I have opinions on Li Junhao.

Li Junhao said he didn't care, but he said in his heart: I have had an opinion for a long time, but I haven't expressed it yet! But he said: "Nelson, when discussing important issues, there must be someone who is the opposition, right?"
