Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2076 Farouk

How can Roosevelt, who is a delicate person, not be able to figure out the real reason why Churchill's attitude changed drastically before and after.

When the Chinese Expeditionary Force entered Southeast Asia, the British government and the Xuebing Army made many transactions, and these transactions more or less had the shadow of the American government. At that time, Roosevelt wondered why the British, who had always been proud and arrogant, Why did they suddenly change their nature, and tolerate the Xuebing Army without principle in their traditional sphere of influence?The United States used to be one of the British colonies, so Roosevelt knew too well the nature of the British. The empire on which the sun never sets regarded colonies as taboos. He did not think that the influence of the United States could make the British give up this insistence.After discussing with military leaders such as Marshall and Knox, he finally understood the mystery of the situation. He knew that the British were really cornered in Asia, so he had to lower his status to make a deal with the cadet army.Now that Churchill's attitude has suddenly become unprecedentedly tough, the mystery behind this is actually not difficult to see through. In the final analysis, the Japanese army has shifted the direction of attack, and Burma and India seem to have suddenly become safer.

Knowing this, Roosevelt sighed unceasingly—the British were too short-sighted. They dared to abandon their allies and do double-faced things for a little profit in front of them. Don't they know that if Australia falls, then the Japanese army will Attack Burma and India again, then, what will the British use to hold on?
There is a difference only when there is a comparison. Compared with Churchill, Ouyang Yun's performance just now is perfect, of course, this is based on his age group.Roosevelt actually hoped that Ouyang Yun could act immature, even if it was a little weak, which was in the interests of the United States, but Churchill's "self-righteous" and "selfish" behavior made him more and more aware that the British could not be counted on in Asia. Yes, so he forced himself to suppress some complicated thoughts based on the national level, and admitted that Ouyang Yun had passed the test.

Churchill's attitude was too tough, and Roosevelt realized that words alone might not be able to change his mind. He changed the subject and said, "Mr. Prime Minister, if Germany seeks to land on the British Peninsula? Will your government withdraw to India? Or, the Middle East? Good choice?"

This was a topic that made Churchill extremely discouraged, and his momentum was immediately frustrated. He took two puffs of his cigar and said, "We will never give up our homeland——" At this point, he noticed Roosevelt's mouth overflowing. Smiling, knowing that there is no way to fool the Americans on this matter, he decided it would be better to tell the truth, so he changed his tone and said: "Mr. President, the German 'V2 rocket' is too evil, our troops There are also industrial facilities that suffered a lot from the indiscriminate bombing of the Germans. Our cabinet once discussed that it is better to move the military industrial facilities to a safe place as soon as possible instead of being passively attacked at home, so that it can be preserved for Great Britain. A little vitality can also reduce the demand for your country's supplies. Of course, if your country's army can enter the war as soon as possible, I believe it can defend the mainland."

In Europe now, all countries and regions except Britain have been surrendered by Germany. Britain can struggle to support it, on the one hand, thanks to the natural moat of the English Channel and its powerful navy.Furthermore, because of the support of the United States, the British Air Force was able to defend the airspace of the British Peninsula, which protected the military industry in the rear and gave the British army the material guarantee to persevere.However, with the debut of the "V2 rocket", Britain's air superiority no longer exists, military industrial facilities are no longer safe, and even the army dare not stay in one place all the time, so many people in Churchill's cabinet proposed to use the powerful The naval power transferred these industrial facilities, like the French to fight the Germans in the colonies, and save energy to wait for the counterattack.

Churchill's cabinet had very different attitudes towards the cadet army. The shift of the Japanese army's offensive direction to Australia was a factor, and the most important thing was that once the British government moved to Asia, they urgently needed absolute control over India and Burma.

The British government wanted the U.S. military to directly participate in the European war. It was not the first time that Churchill appealed to Roosevelt, but like the previous few times, Roosevelt still refused with "the U.S. military is not ready yet."

Is the U.S. military really not ready yet?This is of course an excuse.In terms of the navy, although the Pacific Fleet and the Midway Island submarine force are exhausted, the Americans still have the Atlantic Fleet, and the American war machine operating at full capacity is very terrifying.In terms of shipbuilding capacity alone, its shipbuilding capacity is equivalent to five times that of Japan. That is to say, when Japan launches an aircraft carrier, the United States has launched five aircraft carriers.This is still under the circumstances that both the United States and Japan have sufficient resources.In terms of the army, the United States was expanding its National Guard as early as the beginning of the war in Europe. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the enthusiasm of American youths to join the army was unprecedentedly high. Now the US military has no shortage of soldiers.

The reason why the U.S. military has not joined the European battlefield is that the objective factor is that the recruits have not yet completed a series of training, and the subjective factor is that many people in the United States still hope to join the battlefield when all countries are exhausted like they did during World War I. , to reap the greatest benefit at the least cost.

Churchill's expression suddenly became lonely. He thought for a while and said, "Then Mr. President, we can only prepare to withdraw from the British Peninsula. It is impossible for Britain to surrender, but we are now unable to persist in fighting on the mainland." Then his expression became more and more depressed, and he habitually put his left hand into his bosom, trying to take out his pocket watch to check the time. "Hey! Where's my watch?" He suddenly exclaimed.Then he stood up and turned around to search on the sofa.

At this time, Ouyang Yun was leading Farouk, Stilwell, Werville and other British and American officers to discuss the war in Asia. His face exuded strong confidence. When talking about the US Philippine department, he said to Stilwell even more firmly: "General Guo Kui is a fierce general in our Xuebing Army. Under his training, the combat effectiveness of your country's Filipino troops will definitely have a qualitative leap-what? You question our training methods? No, no, Xuebing The military’s training methods are the most advanced, otherwise how can we explain that we were able to rescue your country’s officers and soldiers from the Cavite prisoner-of-war camp among the tens of thousands of elite Japanese troops——Faruk, what are you doing?” Suddenly, his eyebrows raised , pinched his left trouser pocket with his right hand - Farouk's right middle finger and index finger were stretched out in his trouser pocket, and when he pinched it hard, he screamed in pain.

"Please forgive me, this is a little eccentricity of His Majesty the King," his middle-aged entourage immediately came over and said to Ouyang Yun apologetically.

Still not clear about what happened, Stilwell and Waver looked at each other.But the British and Americans who stayed in Cairo for a while immediately understood what happened, and their interest was immediately raised.

Ouyang Yun's expression returned to calm, but his tone was icy cold. He looked into Farouk's eyes and said, "Farouk, is this how you treat your friends?"

Farouk's chubby face was covered with sweat. He knew he had met a master, so he smiled awkwardly and flattered him, "General Ouyang, I just wanted to make a joke with you—"

Gu Lianyun was talking to Hull at this moment, when she saw this, she said sorry to Hull and walked over.Lu Hanni was originally discussing something with several Egyptian ladies, at this moment she exclaimed "God", and then lifted her skirt and rushed over.Liu Kui and You Xiaolian have been cruising beside Ouyang Yun. The two of them took two steps forward, one left and one right, and surrounded Farouk and the middle-aged man in the middle.Chen Shichang was talking with an American military officer at this time, and when he saw this, he immediately left the American military officer and came over, while Guo Jianxiang was keenly aware that something terrible had happened, and immediately ran away from the reporter circle.

Liu Kui and You Xiaolian were filled with righteous indignation for the British and Americans' contempt for Ouyang Yun. Now that the Egyptians dared to provoke their commander-in-chief, the two looked at each other and prepared for the worst.
