Chapter 212 Mainland Lines of Communication III


The strong combat effectiveness of the National Army, especially their outburst of hatred in the face of the Japanese, made them burst out fearlessly and amazingly fighting in the face of the Japanese.

The United States needs an ally like China, and the situation of the anti-fascist war in the world also needs China to play a greater role, and playing a role means a huge sacrifice, sacrifice is an obligation and a right, and Roosevelt believed that President Chiang would certainly not reject his initial idea.

MacArthur finally got his wish to meet Roosevelt, and it was a high-profile formal meeting, and he had recently been fighting Nimitz for command of the Pacific theater, and now the president's summons came too timely.

Roosevelt did not have any courtesy, and directly entered the theme with MacArthur, in order to hold back the momentum of the Japanese army in the Pacific, the Chinese battlefield must be put into a counteroffensive in order to contain more Japanese troops in China, and the Chinese battlefield into a counteroffensive will first be put into a counteroffensive to open up the lifeline from India to Burma, the squadron is disdainful, but for his own rights and interests, as well as the strategy of "Asia first and then Europe" he proposed, he must let the Chinese army play a very important role, although this is extremely unwilling for him.

MacArthur's promotion of the strategy of "Asia before Europe" to Roosevelt stemmed from seeking greater rights for himself, and Roosevelt was very clear about this: Within the national ideology of the United States, patriots have a close relationship with the interests of the national interest consortium, and interests are always the ultimate embodiment of what the United States pursues.

In the evening, after the talks, Roosevelt sent a long telegram to Chiang Kai-shek on the other side of the ocean, expounding on many points of view between the two sides, and revealing to Chiang Kai-shek in the telegram that China should play a greater role in the world, but in the telegram Roosevelt still had some concerns about changing the American strategy he had previously formulated.

This famous telegram was the "turning point" of later generations on a par with the "Cairo Declaration" Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed by Roosevelt's telegram, which was the most exciting news since the Cairo Conference, and Chiang Kai-shek had been preparing for a whole night to reply to President Roosevelt's telegram.

In the end, Chiang Kai-shek decided to recruit Song Ziwen, Song Yuhang and others as staff officers, and Roosevelt's telegram also pleased Song Ziwen and Song Yuhang.

Soong Ziwen evaluated the US strategy of "Europe first and then Asia" from the perspectives of the economy, the world pattern, and post-war diplomacy.

Although Song Yuhang's assertion does not have as many bases and theories as Song Ziwen.

But it's refreshing.

Song Yuhang pointed out directly.

Britain was no longer able to play the important role it should have played as a key member of the Allies.

As we all know, there are many unknown variables in war.

Then the United States should adjust the direction of the country's strategic tilt according to the actual situation.

First, Japan's threat to the U.S. homeland should be lifted.

From the post-war world pattern and the division of forces.

Song Yuhang boldly envisioned that the Soviet army would finally defeat the German army in the European theater.

And carry out a strategic counteroffensive.

Then, after the war, the Soviet Red Empire will inevitably form a bipolar confrontation and differentiation pattern with the United States.

This is by no means fair to the United States, which made great sacrifices and supplies in the Second World War.

Maintain the status quo in the UK.

Use the German army to deplete the overall strength of the Soviet Union.

After addressing the Japanese threat to the U.S. homeland.

In the beginning of the march into the European theater.

We will strive to build a strategic system of globalization centered on the United States in the post-war period.

Although Britain is the only remaining ally of the United States in Europe.

Due to the blockade and bombardment by the Germans.

Its industrial strength no longer exists.

The Britain's last remaining forces had to defend their homeland in case of a German landing.

It also had to support multiple overseas colonies.

It has long been out of use.

For the United States, Britain, an ally that exists in name only, brings only a burden to the United States.

And in Song Yuhang's opinion.

Britain, the former outrageous boss, still puts on an old-fashioned style.

Compete with the United States at every turn, both militarily and diplomatically.

This is also what annoys most American politicians and generals.

Chiang Kai-shek synthesized many views of Song Ziwen and Song Yuhangdi.

Reply to Roosevelt's telegram.

Chiang Kai-shek's telegram back made Roosevelt finally make up his mind.

Chiang Kai-shek's strategy of globalization struck him.

The United States only needs to prop up a few allies around the world.

You can enjoy the material and political resources of globalization at any time.

This is simply the ideal state of the highest national interest of the United States.

Obviously, Song Yuhang plagiarized the international political and military system that the United States has been striving to build in later generations, and the last thing the United States wants to see is a bipolar regional, military, and political confrontation, especially the Soviet Union, a team with a completely different political style from the United States, could not even protect its own capital, which was an extremely resounding slap in the face to the Japanese who were intoxicated with aggression and expansion, and because of the bombing, His Majesty the panicked Emperor also fell and injured the dragon's body, which was simply an unforgivable mistake.

In the end, Major General Kawashima Shida, who was in charge of Tokyo's air defense, had no choice but to commit suicide by caesarean section in the face of tremendous pressure The huge bomb load and flight altitude of the new US bombers, as well as the dense firepower of the aircraft group, have made it impossible for the Japanese army and naval aviation, which are accustomed to conducting tactical sorties in single or twin planes, to adapt to it.

When the news reached China, the commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hata and Yuichi Yokoyama, were sincerely frightened and determined to fight a war to deal with the US bombers deployed at airfields in southwest China The expressionless Yokoyama put his hand on the strategic map of the southwest and said firmly: "Since we can't destroy them in the air, let's destroy them on the ground."

Contrary to the Japanese generals who were strong and anxious about the comfort of their homeland and the victory or defeat of the war, the generals of the Chinese Ninth Theater were relaxed at this time.

In the two years from January 1942 to the beginning of 1944, except for assisting the Sixth Theater in the Battle of Changde, no fighting above the division level broke out in the Ninth Theater.

During the Battle of Changde, the battlefield was close to the jurisdiction of the Ninth Theater of Operations, and a senior staff member surnamed Lu once reminded Xue Yue to deploy in advance to prevent the Japanese army from suddenly turning its head to attack Changsha and falling into passivity, but Xue Yue was very impatient and sent Lu Gao Shen to say: "Why do you think the Japanese still have the courage to teach me the Heavenly Furnace Tactics?"

Later, the First Mechanized Army broke through the remaining troops of the Japanese Third Division on the south bank of the Nguyen River, destroyed the Japanese supplies, and forced the Japanese army to retreat.

Victory is a glass of wine, but drinking too much wine can be intoxicating, and an insider in the Ninth War Zone Governor's Department revealed that the venue that loves to read maps very much has a lot less time to look at maps after the third victory in northern Xiangbei.

Wu Yizhi, chief of staff of the Ninth Theater, was also extremely unbearable after winning the battle, and while keeping the affairs of the theater in mind and looking at the motherland, he became concerned about the overall international situation in the world, so he wrote a written opinion on strengthening operations in the Asian theater, in which he incisively analyzed the situation in the Asian theater and its position in the world strategic pattern, the significance and possibility of strengthening the intensity of operations in the Asian theater at the beginning, and put forward a specific strategic concept.

After writing the article, Wu Yizhi was really happy with himself, and then submitted it to the Allied side through his brother-in-law who worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and soon this strategic idea really appeared on the desk of US President Roosevelt in the White House.
