Washington, White House.

The White House is a white neoclassical sandstone building located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., where the President of the United States resides and offices.

The National Floor, which is accessed from the main entrance, consists of five main rooms, from west to east: the State Banquet Room, the Red Room, the Blue Room, the Green Room, and the East Room. The East Room is the largest room in the White House that can accommodate up to 300 guests and is mainly used for large receptions, balls and celebrations of various commemorative ceremonies.

The red and green rooms on the left and right sides of the Blue Room are small reception rooms, decorated in different tones and used for different purposes.

The East Wing of the White House was presided over by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and was completed in 1941.

The main of these rooms is the oval presidential office on the inside of the west wing, which is spacious and bright, with a large blue carpet woven in the center of the carpet with the gold emblem of the President of the United States: 50 stars arranged in a circle, surrounded by an eagle.

At the back of the office, the American flag and the presidential flag are erected on either side, and on the front wall is an awe-inspiring oil portrait of Washington in military uniform, flanked by two elegant ancient Chinese porcelain vases.

And today President Roosevelt sat in the presidential office, waiting for MacArthur and Nimitz and Marshall.

The current Roosevelt is no longer the Roosevelt of his youth, not only does he not have a vigorous complexion, but he is also full of tiredness, his energy is also very weak, and his eyes are a little dim.

The reason why this is not the case is not because of the fact that there have been many defeats on the eastern and western fronts, as well as in the Pacific war recently, which consumed a lot of his energy to deal with it, and even worried.

But even so, President Roosevelt made important decisions, and things that many people couldn't.

Therefore, even MacArthur, who is proud and complacent and likes to pretend to be coercive, can't help but praise the other party: he is a respectable president! ”

"It's really unexpected, Hitler, you are hiding so deeply! It really caught me off guard that I had so many new weapons and equipment! ”

Roosevelt sat alone in his office, lost in thought.

At this time, MacArthur and his adjutant Blake had already left the cruiser and landed in the port of Tuckmar in Seattle, where they were on a transport plane and rushed to the White House.

As for Marshall and other high-ranking generals, Admiral Nimitz, and Admiral Lehi have also arrived at the White House in open-top cars, and under the salute of the officers and men in the procession, they have entered the White House to meet President Roosevelt.

Soon President Roosevelt met with them and had a meal in the hall, but they waited until MacArthur arrived to eat each other a few snacks and fruits, and to make jokes a little more lively.

And later, MacArthur also arrived, and took his seat.

"The current situation on the Western Front is not very good! I think you all already know about the Battle of Sicily, we have lost, the Germans have won the victory in a surprising way, and we have caused heavy casualties to our troops, and we are now withdrawing to places like Tunisia and Africa. ”

When everyone's atmosphere was relaxed, President Roosevelt sat in his wheelchair and said with a slightly heavy face.

"Yes! We all already know that! ”

Before MacArthur and Nimitz could speak, Marshall replied with a solemn expression.

"Eisenhower and Malta's troops are fine! Did the German bombing stop? ”

After listening, President Roosevelt asked worriedly.

"Eisenhower is fine, but our troops still suffered a lot of casualties, but before we entered the meeting here, the sudden bombardment of the German army had stopped, and it was safe for the time being, and our aviation unit also shot down some of the German planes while they were fighting back!"

Marshall replied awkwardly.

Because Eisenhower was the candidate he highly recommended, but now he was defeated by the Germans one after another, so he now feels that there is no brilliance on his face, and he is very humiliated.

"Hmmm! It seems that things are still better in Malta than I expected! ”

President Roosevelt nodded and replied wearily.

"I'm sorry! Your Excellency, it was my misuse of people that made it so easy for the Germans to defeat us! Please punish me! ”

Marshall's face was solemn and ashamed.

It was the first time in Marshall's life that he apologized, and it was a heartfelt apology to the president.
