Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2089 True Allies

Ouyang Yun's current performance was completely different from that of the daytime, which made McIntyre and Stilwell, who were used to his tough posture, very uncomfortable.At this time, the gap between them and Roosevelt can be seen. Roosevelt seemed to have expected this scene, and followed Ouyang Yun's intention, but they sat on the side with stiff expressions, for a long time They couldn't adjust their mentality.

After some hypocrisy, Ouyang Yun got to the point: "Mr. President, you should feel that we don't trust the British. Regardless of the combat effectiveness of the British army, we are now allies and comrades in the same trench. But, you I see, they actually directly rejected our request for Hong Kong. Mr. President, this is not the attitude that allies should have. Compared with the British, I think the American government and people are like this—” he said. Thumbs up: "The action of returning the boxer indemnity made us feel the goodwill of the American government and people. Mr. President, Prime Minister Churchill should learn from you. A gentleman should have a broad and compassionate mind. The vision that a big country should have when dealing with world affairs..."

Ouyang Yun seemed to be chattering, but Roosevelt was very patient, while McIntyre and Stilwell couldn't sit still. "What does the Chinese general want to do?" Both of them had such thoughts in their hearts, and they were worried.After these few days of communication, they had a certain understanding of Ouyang Yun's way of handling things, and they became more and more convinced that he had ruthless means against the British behind him, and they couldn't help worrying about whether the president could withstand the pressure.

Sure enough, about a quarter of an hour later, the meat scene came—"...I don't agree with Prime Minister Churchill's plan. If the Japanese army loses, they can retreat to the Denver defense line. I stick to my previous judgment. The key to the Japanese army's attack on the Indochina Peninsula It is to open up the western front against our country. Now our army of more than [-] is blocking its front, and it is impossible for the Japanese army to achieve this goal. In this case, they will not send reinforcements from Australia as Prime Minister Churchill envisioned. Mr. President, There is one sentence that I don’t know whether to say or not,” Ouyang Yun stopped talking and looked at Roosevelt.

"General Ouyang Yun, you don't have to be shy at all. I personally and the US government trust you and the Xuebing Army very much. We are very happy to become friends with you—"

Ouyang Yun smiled, and said with shame on his face: "It seems that I miscalculated the relationship between us. This is my responsibility. Then from the standpoint of a friend, I must give you advice, even if it is what Prime Minister Churchill wants , establish the Allied Army Southeast Asia Command in Myanmar, then I don’t think they will really launch a counterattack-although war is a matter at the national level, the executors are the army and the soldiers. Mr. President, please forgive me, just Judging from what I saw and heard during the time I stayed in Indochina and India, the degree of control of the British over their Far East colonies is far from that of their fingers. I thought that if they insisted on going their own way in this matter If you don’t, you’re bound to stumble.”

Because of the close relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, Roosevelt could not express a clear-cut view on this topic. He just said vaguely: "I will remind Prime Minister Churchill to pay attention. This century war will definitely change a lot of things. They should be psychologically Get ready." Then, with a straight expression, he asked Ouyang Yun: "General, do you have any good suggestions on how to ease the situation in Australia? You are much more expert in military affairs than I am."

"Reinforcement is a must. If what Prime Minister Churchill said is true, then it is impossible for the Japanese army to make another major breakthrough in Australia in a short period of time. I think that with this buffer period, your country's army should be able to provide reinforcements in place."

Ouyang Yun didn't mention the Philippines at all. In Roosevelt's view, he didn't say anything, which made him a little disappointed.But he changed his mind, since Ouyang Yun came to the door on his own initiative, it meant that he was aware of the problem, so he gritted his teeth and said, "We won't count on the British fleet, General, you may not know that the Queen's government is preparing to withdraw from the British peninsula." , this fleet should be used by them to escort the evacuation fleet."

Ouyang Yun seldom cared about the war situation in Europe. First, it was too far away from China. Second, because he was familiar with this period of war history, he took it for granted that the British would be able to hold on to their homeland and persist until the Allied forces began their major counterattack.After listening to Roosevelt's words, "the power of butterflies" instantly popped into his mind, and he couldn't help feeling both excited and worried.Excited, this time gives China a broader stage; worry is that I don’t know whether it will play with fire and set itself on fire, bringing World War II to another ending.And if all the other fronts of the allies failed—he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

Roosevelt thought he was shocked by the news of the bombing, and sighed: "General, you don't have to worry, the British peninsula has lost the meaning of holding on under the indiscriminate bombing of the Germans. Open up new fronts elsewhere. Perhaps we can strike first in North Africa."

Ouyang Yun stared at him as if he didn't hear what he said and asked an irrelevant question: "President Roosevelt, please give me an approval letter, how long will it take for your country's Pacific Fleet to complete the reconstruction?"

This question was quite unexpected, and Roosevelt was stunned for a while before deciding to answer truthfully, saying, "It will take at least a year."

"Can Australia last a year?"

Roosevelt smiled bitterly: "General MacArthur said that according to the current development of the war, they can only last for three months at most."

Ouyang Yun stood up, frowned and walked up and down.Suddenly, he stopped and looked at Roosevelt and said, "Mr. President, I think we should continue the next meeting with the attitude of true allies."

"I have always regarded your army and your country's government as true allies." Roosevelt looked at him with sincerity in his eyes: "In Australia, we need your army's help, general, the Philippines has no need to hold on. I hope you can help us withdraw the Philippine sector to Australia. There is also our military in Taiwan, and Australia cannot do without them now."

"Why not send reinforcements from the mainland? Mr. President, with all due respect, the Philippine sector of your country is already exhausted."

Stilwell was listening quietly at first, and at this moment he couldn't help frowning and was about to stand up, but McIntyre pulled him back at the right time, and shook his head resolutely at him.

If it weren't for Guo Kui's student expedition to the Second Army, the American Filipino troops would have indeed run out of ink at this time.Of course, out of military honor, Stilwell would never admit this.

Roosevelt was still very sincere, and he said slowly: "General, after the Pacific Fleet was attacked, our country no longer has the ability to deliver long-distance in the Pacific Ocean. Moreover, our general reported that after your army's training, the Philippine department's The combat effectiveness has been qualitatively improved, and Australia needs a combat-experienced force."
