Chapter 448: The Plan
Of course, Roosevelt couldn't have imagined that Zhang Chi knew much more than he imagined, and even Zhang Chi knew what Roosevelt himself didn't know. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, Zhang Chi can only pretend not to know about this information, otherwise Zhang Chi is afraid that he will soon be asked how he knows these confidential information and even be arrested.
After thinking about it, Zhang Chi replied straight to the point: "Mr. President, I can't hide it, I asked to see you because I thought of a battle plan......
Roosevelt's expression was not surprised, he spread his hands and said, "If you can finish it in ten minutes......
"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied.
Because there was no map in the living room, Zhang Chi had to pick up a notepad and pencil beside him, and said while quickly tracing a rough map of China's coastal areas in the notebook...... The current situation is that Japan's troops have been transferred to Okinawa in large quantities from northeastern China, and on the other hand, dozens of its divisions and regiments are fighting deep into the hinterland of China, which has left Japan's rear extremely empty......"
"I know that!" Roosevelt got a little impatient.
Zhang Chi added a few last strokes to the map, then handed the notebook to Roosevelt and said, "Look...... As depicted on the picture, General Stilwell trained a large number of elite soldiers with American equipment in Burma, and they were never transferred to the Pacific but to the country......"
"Yes!" Roosevelt replied, "I'll have to ask your headmaster, it's his idea!" ”
Zhang Chi knew what Roosevelt was talking about...... The U.S. has long hoped that ****** will redeploy Stilwell's Chinese troops trained in Burma to fight in the Pacific, especially after seeing the performance of the new 1st and 50th Divisions. However, this was rejected by President Jiang on various grounds such as the tense situation in the domestic war.
The reason is simple...... The troops transferred to the Pacific turned out to be out of control, and they were disobedient when they said that the soil points were disobedient, and even if they were obedient, they were using their own soldiers to help the Americans fight, and President Chiang would be a fool if he wanted to.
"I understand!" Zhang Chi replied: "But the point I said is not this, the point is ...... Why don't we go around the Burmese garrison through the warships and transport units of the US military and transfer them to the northeast of China for landing, and go straight to the empty rear of Japan?! ”
Roosevelt couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this at all.
Zhang Chi continued: "Mr. President, you know that...... The Chinese army under Stilwell's training is very different from the ordinary Chinese army, just like our new 1st Division and 50th Division, the combat effectiveness of these units is obvious to all, and the results of the battlefield in Burma are also a clear proof! ”
Roosevelt nodded, then as if remembering something, frowned and asked, "But...... With all due respect, will your President Jiang agree? ”
"Mr. President!" Zhang Chi said with a smile: "At this time and that time, the situation on the battlefield in China was relatively stable in the past, and at that time, if you want to transfer President Jiang's troops to fight in the Pacific Ocean, of course he does not agree. But now, the war situation in China has shown signs of a major rout, and even Chongqing is in crisis, at this time you just ask President Chiang to transfer the troops to the rear of the Japanese, which is tantamount to saving Principal Chiang's life, how can he not agree? ”
Roosevelt nodded again, Zhang Chi was reasonable, this was beneficial to Principal Jiang, and Principal Jiang had no reason not to agree.
"Mr. President!" At this time, the staff officer reminded: "It's been more than ten minutes!" ”
"Forget that...... Roosevelt waved his hand to the staff officer impatiently, and said to Zhang Chi while looking at the sketch drawn by Zhang Chi: "To be honest, except for the new 1st Division and the 50th Division, I still don't believe in the combat effectiveness of other Chinese troops. ”
Zhang Chi nodded to show his understanding, the performance of the Chinese troops in World War II was indeed unsatisfactory, as I said before, more than a dozen Japanese cavalry occupied a Chinese city from time to time, similar things have long been spread abroad, so foreign countries have formed a stereotype of "Chinese troops will not fight if they are not united", and even until the battlefield after World War II, the whole world, including MacArthur, held such a view, this kind of arrogance and self-esteem led by the United States **** capsized in the gutterThis made the world really look at China with admiration, and it was also the reason why the Chinese people believed that the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a battle that really made China stand up.
After this battle, Mr. Peng said something like this: "Gone are the days when Western colonizers could occupy a country by erecting a few cannons on a coastline in the East for hundreds of years!" ”
This sentence is a true portrayal of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Therefore, Zhang Chi fully understood Roosevelt's current thoughts...... The new 1st and 50th divisions are just an exception to the Chinese army, and the rest of the Chinese army knows what is going on.
"This problem is easy to solve!" Zhang Chi said: "Mr. President, I am honored that the new 1st Division and the 50th Division can gain your trust. If necessary, we can transfer Chinese troops from Burma to replace the new 1st and 50th Divisions, and let the new 1st and 50th Divisions lead other Chinese troops into Northeast China! ”
Roosevelt couldn't help but nod slightly, the combat effectiveness of the new 1st Division and the 50th Division was something he had seen with his own eyes, which did not allow him not to believe it.
Seeing that Roosevelt had been moved by his own words, Zhang Chi continued: "You must know that most of the Japanese industries are in the Northeast, such as steel mills, military factories, etc., if we enter the Northeast and occupy these factories, it will undoubtedly cut off the logistics supply of the Japanese, which will deal a fatal blow to the Japanese......
Roosevelt raised his hand to signal Zhang Chi to stop, Zhang Chi was a little puzzled by this, but he still accepted the following words.
Roosevelt thought for a moment and looked at Ernest beside him, who nodded slightly.
Then Roosevelt said to Zhang Chi: "Colonel, don't hide it...... We're going to do that too, but ...... Our plan was not to transfer Chinese troops to the northeast, but to ask the Soviet Union to send troops! ”
Although Zhang Chi had known about this for a long time, he was still stunned for a while, and then with some incredible expressions, he said: "The Soviet Union?!" They...... How can you do that? It's not good for them! ”
Hearing this, Roosevelt's face was a little embarrassed, he spread his hands and said, "We'll explain this later." I hope you understand that there are national interests involved, and some things may not be what you and I want, but from the standpoint of the country, we have to make this decision! ”
"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied.
"Good!" Roosevelt nodded: "Then we need to choose between China and the Soviet Union, and I hope you can convince me and my generals!" ”
