"Yes, on land!" The more Ernest thought about it, the more confident he became, and he pointed to the map and said, "Mr. President, as we know...... The Japanese moved a large number of troops deployed in Manchukuo to Okinawa, and the troops at the front were fighting against the Chinese troops, which left the rear very empty......"

"But what's the use of that?" Roosevelt said, "We don't have the extra forces to attack!" Then at least a hundred thousand troops are needed! ”

"So...... Why didn't we turn to the USSR for help? Ernest replied. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The Soviet Union?" Roosevelt's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the Soviet Union won't want to join this war." The first is that they signed the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty with Japan, and the second is that it will not do the USSR any good by doing so......"

Hearing this, Ernest couldn't help but be silent, the former that Roosevelt said was nothing, because what treaties and agreements in this era were signed to tear them up. But the latter is key...... If there is no interest, why should the Soviet Union use troops against Japan? It would not only consume ammunition but also kill people, knowing that the Soviet Union at this time was so demoralized in order to resist the German attack that the ratio of men and women was seriously imbalanced after the war.

"But...... We can try to negotiate with the USSR! "After all, we have a common enemy, Germany, and on the other hand, Japan is an ally of Germany, and they have tried to flank the Soviet Union before, and even fought a war between the Soviet Union and Japan at Nomenkan......"

Roosevelt couldn't help but nod when he heard this, if he could pull the Soviet Union into the Allies, it would undoubtedly give the Allies a great advantage, especially in the Pacific theater...... The Soviet Union only needed to send troops into Northeast China to cut off the ties between Japan and China, which was undoubtedly the best news for the United States.

Thinking of this, Roosevelt no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered: "Draw up a plan at once and prepare to go to the Soviet Union!" ”

For this matter, if it wasn't for Halsey casually mentioning it, Zhang Chi wouldn't know anything, so he couldn't interfere.

However, on this day, when Halsey went to Iwo Jima to inspect, he couldn't help but say happily when he saw Zhang Chi taking care of Iwo Jima in a good manner: "Colonel, I know that you and your subordinates have been very worried about the war situation in the country, what I want to say is...... You should rest assured about this, because we have a plan that will most likely change the situation on the Chinese battlefield soon! ”

"What? What is the plan? Zhang Chi asked.

"I can't say much about the specific plan!" Halsey patted Zhang Chi on the shoulder and said confidently, "But I can tell you that once this plan succeeds, we will be able to defeat the Japanese in no time!" ”

As he spoke, Halsey waved his hand at Zhang Chi and stepped onto the return plane.

Zhang Chi stood in place and thought about it, but he couldn't think of what plan Halsey was talking about.

Could it be the Manhattan Project, the atomic bomb?

Unlikely, this thing could have defeated the Japanese quickly, but it was still a few years before the atomic bomb was developed, and the plan was a top secret, and it was impossible for anyone of Halsey's level to know about it.

Then it should be in terms of conventional warfare.

At this time, what can be done to make the devil quickly rout? You know, you haven't even fought the Battle of Okinawa yet!

With a stomach full of doubts, Zhang Chi returned to the headquarters in a daze.

He recalled Halsey's words over and over again in his mind, and thought that Halsey said that this plan would affect the situation in China, so he set his sights on China.

This look made Zhang Chi's mouth open wide and he couldn't close it for a long time...... He knew what the Yankees were thinking about right now.

This is known in history as the "Yalta Agreement", that is, in order to win the Soviet Union to participate in the Pacific war against Japan, and to curry favor with the Soviet Union to protect its own interests, Roosevelt actually betrayed China's interests and forcibly demanded that President Chiang cede land.

You must know that China is a member of the Allied and victorious powers, and it has also made considerable contributions to the war of the Allied powers, but Roosevelt took China's land as an exchange of interests without the consent of the Nationalist Government or even without the knowledge of the Nationalist Government, as if he used China's land as a bargaining chip in his hands.

It is said that later President Chiang also sent ******, who had studied in the Soviet Union, to negotiate with Stalin in the Soviet Union with Song Ziwen.

But Stalin's answer was: "You see, today I don't want you to help, but you want me to help." If your own country had the strength to fight Japan on your own, I would naturally not ask for it. Today, you don't have the power to say these things, it's tantamount to nonsense! ”

It's not that Zhang Chi didn't know about it, but he didn't expect it to be in advance...... This was supposed to happen when Japan was about to surrender, but unexpectedly, it happened early because the conditions were ripe.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi immediately called Halsey.

The person who answered the phone was one of Halsey's staff officers, and Zhang Chi was told that Halsey had not returned to the command headquarters.

About half an hour later, Halsey's call came.

"Colonel!" Halsey joked humorously: "I just came from you, and the call has already arrived before anyone arrives!" ”

"General!" Zhang Chi said straight to the point: "I want to see President Roosevelt, can you arrange it?" ”

"What's the matter?" Halsey replied, "You can just tell me ......"

"No, there is something very important!" Zhang Chi replied: "I have to tell the president in person!" ”

Halsey replied with some embarrassment, "You know, Mr. President, it's been very busy......

Hearing this, Zhang Chi's heart was half relieved, at least he knew that Roosevelt had not yet rushed to the Soviet Union, and if he arrived at that time, he was afraid that it would be useless to say anything.

"General!" Zhang Chi said seriously: "As I was told just now, you have a plan that is likely to be related to whether or not you can defeat the Japanese. What I'm going to talk about is also about whether or not we can defeat the Japanese! ”

Halsey couldn't help but be silent, he knew that Zhang Chi was not a talkative person, and from Zhang Chi's performance for such a time, Halsey also believed what Zhang Chi said.

So he nodded and said, "All right, Colonel! I'll get you in touch, but would you like to see you, Mr. President...... I can't guarantee it! ”

"Thank you, General!" Zhang Chi replied.

Of course, Zhang Chi knew that this president was not something he could see if he wanted to, so he ...... It's up to you to see if you're lucky! (To be continued.) )
