Chapter 497 Embarrassing and aggressive
Since the Second World War has reached this point, the European part, regardless of the Asian part, the relevant countries are actually very embarrassed.
Needless to say, the Soviet Union seemed strong, but first fell into a small fall in Finland. As soon as he recovered, he fell into a big fall in the Japanese. Until Temuxingo with his troops retreated into Kazakhstan, Moscow was a little confused about why he failed. But no matter what, if he lost, he would lose. He lost 12.76 million square kilometers of Siberia, Outer Mongolia, almost all his interests in Asia, and the efforts of Saber, Russia and the Soviet Union for more than 200 years. The only thing they could comfort themselves was: if they would not have to go far to fight again.
The United States followed the Soviet Union.
The world's largest industrial power has always watched other countries fight there, but he acted like a fisherman, and he made a fortune while waiting for the price. As a result, he was watching the show, but he was suddenly attacked by the "actor". Not to mention the heavy losses, he could only watch tens of thousands of American soldiers hiding alone in the Philippines, counting down silently, waiting for the powerful enemy to come to the door, but they themselves were basically helpless and had to be robbed by others.
And after the United States, it is Japan.
According to the superficial phenomenon, Japan was actually the winner at this time. It occupied Siberia first, and then beat the United States hard. As long as China can be removed, the entire East Asia and even Asia may be its own. But Japan has no way to say anything. If possible, it would not want to go to war with the Americans at this time. Even those Japanese officers who do not understand strategies and tactics and only know how to rush forward with the "Emperor's Board" also know what the consequences will be if they provoke the three largest countries in the world at the same time. But they had to do so. Because, after occupying Siberia, they not only had enough troops, but also had basically bottomed out. If they did not go to war with Britain, the United States and the Netherlands.
If they did not enter the South China Sea, they would continue to work with China. Even if they brought all the nearly one million troops in Siberia into the Chinese battlefield, they would soon face the situation of exhausting ammunition and food. Moreover, they finally managed to capture such a large piece of land. How could the Japanese people who were tired of living in the island country easily give up? But even if they were sparsely populated, they would need at least hundreds of thousands of troops to defend. Otherwise, relying solely on the "labor reform" army that rebeled the Soviet Union could not stop the Soviet Red Army. Therefore, for resources, in order to continue the war, and in order to make Japan go further in this war, they must be cruel to Britain and the United States. As for the consequences, let's talk about it afterwards.
Apart from the Soviet Union, the United States and Japan, the most embarrassing thing belongs to China. However, China has been embarrassing for almost a hundred years. It doesn’t care about a little bit of face. On the contrary, if you can get a little bit of money in the process of continuously losing face, everyone will feel quite comfortable.
...
"Your country will drag things around like this, which is not only unfavorable to the solution of the matter, but also unfavorable to your soldiers on the front line. They will even pay the price of your life for your hesitation and hesitation today."
Yan Huiqing, sitting opposite Hull, looked serious and bluntly accused the US of dragging the US. Just because the Japanese had been dragging the ground and never launched an attack on the Philippines. Even Wake Island and Guam did not attack the U.S. bases in the Pacific Ocean, they thought things had a turnaround, they thought that the Japanese war machine had failed, they thought that the guy MacArthur, who could only speak big, could rely on that little force to protect the Philippines... Then based on these, they tried to reverse the Chinese army, demanded them to lower them, and even simply took back the previous conditions. How could these people be so ridiculous?
"Mr. Ambassador, according to our information, Japan's situation is very bad now." Hull looked at Yan Huiqing with a smile. Since receiving a call from Henry Morgansso in the Oval Office that day, he knew that the Chinese were planning to take the opportunity to blackmail the United States, he had been waiting for this opportunity, waiting to see the Chinese people's angry look. And now, he felt that he had seen, "The Japanese left more than 500,000 troops in Siberia, which is the minimum requirement, otherwise they would not be able to deter the Soviets at all, even if they had nearly 300,000 troops.
The help of the Soviet rebels. In addition, we should thank China. It is precisely because of the outstanding performance of the Chinese team on the battlefield that the Japanese had to strengthen their military strength in mainland China, which forced them to reduce their troops to Southeast Asia again. We have 120,000 troops in the Philippines, well-trained, well-equipped, and occupy favorable terrain, familiar with the local terrain, and receive a large amount of assistance from the Philippines and from the United States. Therefore, we can completely block the Japanese before Luzon."
"Secretary of State, I wonder what kind of support the US government can provide to the Philippine defenders now?" Lu Xiaojia was wearing a professional attire from the 1940s and had a pair of big glasses on her face. Her eyes were full of sarcasm, "Is it spiritual support? Or is it guarantee that they can receive medals from Congress in the end?"
"Little girl, do you know what war is?" Minister of War Henry Stinson looked at Lu Xiaojia with interest. At this age, he could almost be his granddaughter. "We have 120,000 defenders, only 200,000 Japanese; we are defending, and they are attacking; we have complete fortifications and sufficient logistics reserves, and various support from the Philippines, but the Japanese can only rely on their navy to transport a little bit behind... we will not lose!"
"That's because you haven't seen the crazy Japanese army yet." Lu Xiaojia sneered, "And, can a group of so-called 'elite soldiers' who have not fought in decades really deal with strong soldiers who have been tempered on the battlefield for several years? Simple data comparisons can actually make you, the Minister of War, so confident?"
"Miss, my confidence comes from the strength of the US team." Henry Stimson smiled, "General MacArthur is the best general in the United States. Since he firmly told us that he could drive the Japanese out of the Pacific Ocean, he would definitely be able to do it."
"My teacher told me in the telegram that Douglas MacArthur is indeed one of the best generals of the present..." Looking at the smiles on the corners of the mouths of several Americans, Lu Xiaojia also had a malicious smile on his face. "But he also told me that the best part of MacArthur is not his military level, but his ability to know shame and be brave. In other words, at the beginning of each war, MacArthur will be the party that loses or even fails, but his strong will will make him quickly calm down and then turn the situation back with the strong industrial strength of the United States of America. Among them, he has one of the biggest advantages, that is, he can make the US government agree to let him continue to lead the army like a failed general."
"Who is your teacher?" Henry Stimson frowned, "He is so rude."
"My teacher is a member of the National People's Congress Committee, commander-in-chief of the Air Force, first-class general... General Qin Wei!" Lu Xiaojia raised her delicate chin, and even had a strong arrogance on her face, "He is 32 years old this year!"
"...I know that guy." Hull twisted his butt so that he could sit in the seat more comfortably. "Although he was very awesome to get the rank of general at a young age, I still want to say...this is not the capital he can despise a general of the United States."
"Isn't MacArthur a Lieutenant General?" Yan Huiqing sat on the side with Song Ziwen. As the true representative of the Chinese government and the special envoy of Chiang Kai-shek, he worked very hard to get enough loans from the Americans, hoping to get enough loans from the Americans. However, the Japanese's slow movements also made the Americans more and more confident. He waited in Washington for nearly a month before being received by Roosevelt. The reception process was also very boring, and the time was short. In less than an hour, he was "driven" out of the White House. During the entire reception process, he actually just chatted with Rose's witness and discussed the situation in Southeast Asia. As for the cooperation between the two sides.
There is no chance to mention things like mutual support. He doesn't care about this... China is a weak country, and he comes to borrow money, and he still wants to make a fortune. He also chooses to attack the United States. It is a bit like taking advantage of the situation, and it is normal to be treated coldly. But he did not expect that when he was planning to use the power of his family in the United States to gradually open the door to contact the US government, Yan Huiqing actually submitted an ultimatum to the US State Department, demanding that both sides negotiate. If the US refuses, then he, the Chinese ambassador, will perform the sacred duty of a national civil servant: take a vacation!
This is the first time Song Ziwen has seen such a thing. When can Chinese even throw tantrums at Americans? He scolded Yan Huiqing at the beginning, but Yan Huiqing had not spoken yet. The little girl who claimed to be a student of Qin Wei was dissatisfied and told him that all this was a domestic arrangement... Song Ziwen certainly didn't believe it. The domestic arrangements could bypass him, the chairman envoy? A little girl film, who pulled Qin Wei's skin and wanted to fool him, the uncle? Song Ziwen is not Kong Xiangxi! Then, the two sides made a big fuss. Yan Huiqing did not sell his uncle's face, so he naturally had no interest in respecting the elderly. As a result, the two sides became more and more fierce. He almost sent a telegram to return to China to demand the removal of Yan Huiqing, the ambassador to the United States.
However, things soon made him, the uncle who claimed to be good at dealing with Americans, blushed: the Americans actually agreed to the negotiations. Not only that, after the negotiations began, the US's attitude has always been pretty good, but they have been aggressive from the beginning...
