The United States and the Soviet Union talked back and forth, and there was no progress after several talks...... What the United States means is that it hopes that the Soviet Union will put the overall situation of world peace first and will not ask for any interests and selflessly send troops to help China defeat the Japanese army.

The Soviet side was extremely puzzled: "This is taking me for a fool!" ”

So it didn't take long for the talks to fall apart.

This also played into Roosevelt's hands...... It was your own refusal, not my fault.

Roosevelt gained an excellent reputation for protecting China's interests and standing on the side of justice and peace to firmly defend China's sovereignty. This move has also won the support of the American people, and the international image of the United States has been enhanced.

The most important thing is that Roosevelt has one more chance of winning the election.

Of course, these things were still military secrets at this time, and they had not yet been made public.

Not to mention on the Chinese side......

President Chiang was grateful to Roosevelt for defending China's sovereignty, and he did not hesitate to send troops from Burma to Northeast China with the help of the U.S. military...... This is a very good thing for China, as it will not only turn the tide of collapse in the present, but also potentially crush Japan and drive the Japanese army out of China in one fell swoop...... Principal Jiang felt that happiness had come too suddenly, and the god of fate had finally favored him.

When these things were settled, Roosevelt handed the matter over to Nimitz...... For the U.S. military, the vast majority of those who can participate in this plan are the Navy, so it is inevitable that it will be handed over to the Navy to complete it.

In fact, it was not so much to hand over to Nimitz as to Halsey and Zhang Chi, because Nimitz let Halsey and Zhang Chi "discuss the big plan" together......

Everything was fine when they talked about it in Hawaii, but when it came to actually making a battle plan, it made Zhang Chi and Halsey's heads big.

First of all, there is the issue of transportation.

"It's a big project!" Halsey looked at the map and said: "The Japanese have occupied most of the countries and cities along the Strait of Malacca, and it is definitely not possible to transport troops from the Strait of Malacca, which will be intercepted by the Japanese army...... Then you have to take a detour through Australia and pass through the Solomon Islands via New Guinea...... Oh, my God! That's pretty much the way we've got! ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help frowning, walking like this is going around in a big circle, how many transport ships, how many warships and fighters to escort it can be enough to send enough troops to the Japanese puppet Manchukuo.

At this time, most of the US transport ships, warships, and warplanes were stuck in the quagmire of the Philippines and could not get out, and only a few fleets could provide transportation and protection for the Chinese troops.

As Halsey said, "It's almost impossible to do it, with so few warships and transports to transport troops and supplies...... I'm afraid that I won't be able to meet the requirements even if it is shipped for a year! ”

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi said: "Maybe we can use the method of ants moving, that is, the Japanese transportation method on Iwo Jima!" ”

"Ants moving?" Hearing this, Halsey couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied: "The Japanese projected troops and materials to Iwo Jima by using small islands to set up several transit stations between the starting point and the target point, and then used fishing boats or even small boats to continuously transport ...... between several transit stations."

"Oh!" Hearing this, Halsey couldn't help but nodded.

The benefits of this approach are numerous, starting with the fact that there is basically no need for escorts...... During this period, even if a Japanese submarine or even a warplane found these fishing boats transporting troops or supplies, they would not attack them.

The reason is very simple, how many soldiers and supplies can a fishing boat or small boat have, is it worth the Japanese army to dive down with a torpedo or fighter plane to strafe it? How many people can be killed if you fight like this? Especially at this time, the Japanese army was still in a state of shortage of materials.

Secondly, the means of transport can be in place very quickly...... It's all fishing boats or small boats, and you can collect them from the local people, and you can exchange them for dollars or pounds (note: at this time, there are British colonies everywhere, and the British pound is better than the dollar), and the United States is the country that is not short of money, so a large number of fishing boats can be collected in a short time.

Again, in this way, it is possible to establish a non-stop transportation line around the clock.

The same group of small boats or fishing boats, transported by this group of crew during the day, and changed a group of people at night, just like ants moving, forming a long transportation line that goes back and forth, it seems that there are not many people on each boat, and the transportation volume is not large, but the final effect of a long time is very amazing.

Like this method, only Zhang Chi would think of emulating Halsey, as an American...... He's used to that "high-up" way.

However, after being woken up by Zhang Chi, Halsey quickly understood, and immediately ordered: "That's right! In this way, given the time constraints, we had to set up this transport line immediately! ”

So Halsey quickly got the task down.

At this time, two American fleets and five transport fleets were arranged for transportation in the hands of Halsey and Zhang Chi...... Their role is no longer to transport people and supplies from Myanmar.

The fleet was immediately dispersed along the entire route, carrying large quantities of pounds and supplies to collect fishing boats...... Some of the islands are inhabited by natives, who don't even recognize the British pound, so they can use the "barter" method to recruit their transportation forces.

On the other hand, reconnaissance detachments were dispatched to collect data and establish transit stations.

Setting up a transit station is easier said than done, but it is quite difficult to do...... For example, there can not be too far distance between the transfer station and the transfer station, too far for small boats and fishing boats to reach, really inaccessible, for example, there is no suitable island between two points, then this section of the transfer should be arranged to be responsible for large-scale transportation.

Another example is the establishment of supply points and necessary anti-aircraft fortifications at transit stations. Otherwise, if people arrive on the island in batches without food or fresh water, there will probably be problems, and fishing boats and the like will need fuel or parts maintenance.

In short, there are a variety of issues involved.

But fortunately, there is nothing to say about the industrial capacity of the US military...... Once the transfer station is confirmed, a few bulldozers or excavators are immediately transported, and a base is set up in a few "booms", and then batches of supplies and parts are transported to the island.

Of course, the help of residents on this line is also indispensable...... This is still related to the atrocities of the Japanese, where the Japanese army walked, almost all the people hated them to the core, so when they heard that they were going to fight the Japanese, they didn't say it, many people took the initiative to help the Americans without pay.
