Chapter 1968 Chinese Navy
"We know that after the Japanese captured the Philippines, their next target must be Taiwan. I think this is the reason why Ouyang Yun agreed to send troops to the Philippines so readily—rather than letting the fighting happen in Taiwan, it is better to resist in the Philippines. The damage to Taiwan will be much less. Moreover, we still have Filipinos who will not only send people and guns, but also be grateful to Dade, right? It’s really killing three birds with one stone!" Marshall said with a gloomy face, completely forgetting that the US government at that time In order for the cadets to send troops, how sincerely did they make a sincere request and vowed to spread the friendship between the US government and the cadets all over the world.

Among several high-ranking Americans, Roosevelt had a far-sighted vision and a much broader mind than others, while Hull had the most contact with military personnel and had a good personal friendship with Gu Lianyun, so he looked at this Things are much more optimistic.Hull frowned slightly and said, "It's not that serious, is it? If possible, we must protect the Philippines. It should be a win-win move for the student army to send troops to the Philippines—"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by you Knox, who stood up and said aggressively: "Sir, I think you are fascinated by Chinese women. Excuse me, are you the Secretary of State of the United States or a student soldier?" Secretary of State?"

Hull's face turned red all of a sudden, and he glared at Knox angrily and said, "Knox, whose fault is it that the country has become like this? If the Pacific Fleet is still there, would the Japanese dare to be so rampant?" The reason why the country is in such a predicament today is caused by the incompetence of the army. Such a huge fleet sank into the Pacific Ocean without a single bubble, and you still have the face to make irresponsible remarks here... "As the Secretary of State in charge of foreign affairs, Hull's lips turned faster than Knox's. Before he finished speaking, Knox's face turned red, white and red again, and his lips trembled. Very angry.

"Okay, don't complain to each other. The correct way for us now is to work together to overcome difficulties," Roosevelt couldn't stand it any longer, and interrupted. When everyone looked at him, his eyes fell on Marshall, and asked : "Did Sharpe, Parker, and Wainwright IV know about this? What did they say in the telegram?"

Marshall's expression became even more difficult, and he said: "Bojia and Wainwright IV are leading their troops to retreat to Mindanao, and Sharp called to say that they are receiving training from the Army of Soldiers—Sharp, bastard, they completely misunderstood our plan." It means that we let him serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Far East Allied Forces. We asked him to contain Guo Kui of the student army. Fortunately, he listened to Guo Kui in everything. Mr. President, I have asked MacArthur to send a liaison officer to Mindanao, If Sharp hasn’t improved yet, then let Bai Jia or Wainwright IV replace him.” After saying this, he looked at Knox and said, “Knox, how long will it take for Admiral Kim to reorganize the Pacific Fleet? We must withdraw all Philippine departments to Australia as soon as possible, otherwise, the Chinese will turn them all into cannon fodder."

Knox was about to answer this question when he heard Roosevelt ask, "Are the Philippines sure to lose it?"

Everyone was startled, Marshall asked: "Mr. President, do you mean to stick to the Philippines?"

Roosevelt nodded.

"Why? In that case, our boys in the Philippines and Taiwan will, will die!"

Roosevelt sighed and said: "Britain and Australia need our help, so the Pacific Allied Command must be established, and we must be in charge. Gentlemen, take a long-term view. After the end of this world war , The world structure will definitely undergo new changes. Needless to say, if you fail, human civilization will go back hundreds of years. What about victory? First of all, Europe, Germany, France, and Italy will definitely decline from now on, and Britain will become the leader. Looking at Asia again, even if the Soviet Union wins in the end, it will definitely lose its vitality, and Japan—” Roosevelt snorted coldly at this point: “Its fate will only be worse than that of Germany. In that case, China will take advantage of the situation. In fact, with the existence of the Xuebing Army, China’s rise is already unstoppable. So what should we do? It’s okay for Europe, the United Kingdom is our traditional ally after all, what about Asia? Should we just let China alone dominate? No, it’s not It is in our interest. So, we have to prepare for the rainy day and prepare now. Gentlemen, do you understand?"

"Is it necessary to stick to the Philippines? But what if the student army withdraws early?" Hull asked.

"Didn't Chief Marshall analyze it just now? The Cadet Army won't quit easily."

"Mr. President, do you mean that even if the cadet army uses our Philippine department as cannon fodder, we can only choose to stick to it?" Knox asked with a frown.

Roosevelt looked at him with deep eyes: "That's why we need to establish a unified command of the Pacific Allied Forces, and we also need the friendship of the apprentice army."

"In that case, the initiative will be in the hands of the student army! What if the student army does not approve?" Marshall asked.

"Bring the Chongqing government in, if necessary, I will propose to hold a meeting at the head of state level," Roosevelt thought for a while and replied.

"But the Chongqing government has no binding force on the cadet army," Knox said.

Roosevelt: "But the cadet army has never intended to stand on its own. This shows that Ouyang Yun still has the overall situation in mind."

"I agree with the judgment of Your Excellency the President," Hull added: "Madame Jiang's visit was facilitated by Gu Lianyun. You have also seen that during this visit, Gu Lianyun has always respected Madam Jiang, and in diplomatic activities It is also dominated by her everywhere.”

Knox and Marshall looked at each other, with suspicion in their eyes.

"At present, we have three main tasks. The first is to prepare for the establishment of the Pacific Allied Command, the second is to establish a large-scale aviation force in Australia as soon as possible, and the third is to speed up the reconstruction of the Pacific Fleet," Roosevelt said finally.

This conversation, which was not considered a meeting but was somewhat formal, lasted for four and a half hours, until the last telegram from Midway Island arrived—the U.S. Air Force on Midway Island took the initiative to attack, but it turned out that the P-47 was not a Type Zero ship at all. The opponent who exploded was defeated and lost.The destruction of the aviation unit is equivalent to the death sentence of Midway Island.In subsequent naval battles, although the U.S. submarine force resisted desperately, it was no match for the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet. Under the indiscriminate bombing of the Japanese naval forces, Midway Island was directly turned into ruins, and the conditions for building an airport were no longer available.And the U.S. submarine force has also been severely damaged. After losing the supply station of Midway Island, it is very likely that the next day will become a floating ship due to exhaustion of fuel. the arrangement of the day.

This is naturally an extremely heavy blow to the Americans, and the victories achieved by the cadet army in the Green Island naval battle are particularly dazzling.It happened that Mrs. Chiang was in need of a domestic victory to help her prove to the Americans that the Chinese boys were fighting to the death against the Japanese invaders, so after the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, the name of the Chinese Navy finally appeared in Western newspapers——

The winner is the king and the loser is Kou, the Chinese navy has finally made the headlines of the American newspapers with a positive image because of the reason of the cadet army!
