Zhang Chi and Roosevelt walked into a conference room not far away, and the conference room was full of Navy and Army generals, including Nimitz, MacArthur, and Halsey. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The generals were surprised to see Zhang Chi appear in the conference room...... They had already made a unified statement before, and this meeting could not be known to Zhang Chi, because of course Zhang Chi was a Chinese and they were preparing to make a decision that would harm China's interests.

It can also be seen from this that the exchange of China's interests for the Soviet Union's entry into the war was approved by almost everyone...... The US generals have once again interpreted the truth that "there are only interests between countries and no allies" with their practical actions.

"Gentlemen!" Looking at the generals with puzzled faces, Roosevelt explained in a deep voice: "Just now, I talked with Colonel Zhang Chi for a while...... Colonel Zhang Chi has an interesting plan, and I want you to hear about it too! ”

As he spoke, Roosevelt nodded at Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi understood and said his thoughts again on the map hanging on the wall.

Of course, unlike before, Zhang Chi said more professionally and in detail this time, after all, this time he was facing the US Navy and Army generals with rich military knowledge.

After Zhang Chi finished speaking, the conference room was surprisingly quiet, and no one agreed or objected.

After a long time, MacArthur asked Roosevelt, "Mr. President, I want to know how much the Colonel knows about us?" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Roosevelt replied, "He knows enough that you can speak your mind!" ”

Then Roosevelt turned to Zhang Chi and said, "Colonel, we are discussing the conditions of the Soviet Union!" ”

"You ...... Have you already been in contact with the Soviet side? Zhang Chi was a little stunned, this was not pretending, he thought that Roosevelt had not had time to contact the Soviet side.

"Yes!" Roosevelt nodded.

"So...... What are the conditions? Zhang Chi deliberately embarrassed Roosevelt and others.

"This ......," Roosevelt shrugged his shoulders and said with some embarrassment, "They demanded that part of the land of the Nationalist Government maintain the status quo, that the Russian naval base in the port of Dalian Arthur be leased and that the Sino-Soviet railway be operated and that the priority interests of the Soviet Union be protected; In addition, the sovereignty of the USSR over the Kuril Islands was claimed! ”

Zhang Chi nodded, smiled and asked everyone present, "So...... Mr. President, Generals, what do you think? Are you planning to sell China's interests by agreeing to this condition of the Soviet Union? Know that China is your ally! Is this how you treat your allies? ”

Nimitz, Halsey, and the other admirals all had a slightly unnatural look on their faces...... They cooperated most closely with the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and they can be said to be comrades-in-arms with the Chinese troops, and even the Chinese troops have rescued American troops on the battlefield several times, but now, they ......

But MacArthur replied calmly: "Colonel, you must know that this is not only for the interests of the United States, but also for the interests of China!" ”

"How?"

MacArthur raised the map in his hand with his pipe in his mouth and said, "You also know the situation on the battlefield in China, and your troops are about to collapse under the fierce attack of the Japanese. If the war continues to develop like this, not to mention that part of China's land remains as it is or one or two ports, I am afraid that the whole of China will fall into the hands of the Japanese! ”

"It's called a 'stop loss' in the U.S., you know?" MacArthur took off his pipe and looked at Zhang Chi, and Tian shamelessly explained: "It means that before the greater loss appears, protect more interests by paying a small part of the benefits!" ”

"Then I would like to thank you on behalf of the Chinese government!" Zhang Chi couldn't help laughing, he really didn't expect MacArthur to make such an explanation, and he didn't expect them to talk about such a conspiracy so high-sounding.

"But...... General MacArthur! Zhang Chi replied: "Don't forget, these are China's lands and ports, and as Americans, you don't seem to have the right to exchange them, as for whether it is a 'stop loss'...... I think everyone here knows very well in their hearts that if the war continues like this, it will not be the collapse of the Chinese army or the occupation of the whole territory of China by Japan, as you said, on the contrary, Japan is more likely to collapse! ”

The generals in the conference room couldn't help but be speechless, because now everyone knew that the end of Japan was near, and this large-scale attack launched by the Japanese army in China was nothing more than a dying struggle at the end of the crossbow...... If this kind of desperate and trapped beast fight can also occupy the entire territory of China, then China is afraid that China will be destroyed by Japan long ago. So MacArthur didn't believe even a three-year-old child.

In the final analysis, the United States is not willing to pay too much sacrifice and would rather trade China's interests for it.

"Gentlemen!" Roosevelt said, "This is not the time to discuss this. Colonel ......"

Then Roosevelt said to Zhang Chi: "I hope you can understand, as I said before, there are some things that you and I do not want, but from the standpoint of the country...... Sometimes we have to make a choice. The Colonel is a smart man, I think you'll understand! ”

"Of course!" Zhang Chi nodded.

Of course, Zhang Chi knew that if it were not for the fact that the plan he proposed might make the United States pay a smaller price and risk to obtain the same benefits, this meeting would not have had any right to speak for itself.

So, now is really not the time to be immediate.

"So!" Then Roosevelt asked, "Gentlemen, what do you think...... Did you choose the colonel's plan, or did you choose to agree to the conditions of the USSR? ”

"No doubt, Mr. President!" MacArthur replied: "I think we should agree to the conditions of the Soviet Union!" ”

"Why?"

"It's obvious!" MacArthur explained: "The Soviet army was much stronger than the Chinese army, and if they had entered the war, they would have been able to crush the Japanese." And the price we pay...... IMHO, those are not a price for us! ”

This finally spoke MacArthur's heart.

"On the contrary!" Then MacArthur said, "If we use Colonel Zhang's plan...... First of all, we have to provide these Chinese troops with a large number of ships and supplies, in addition to a large number of warships and warplanes to escort them, and even provide reinforcements for their landing. It is conceivable that, in doing this, our fleet would have to risk being attacked by Japanese suicide fighters. More importantly...... After all of this, we won't be able to win! ”

"So!" As he spoke, MacArthur spread his hands: "Why did we choose this plan?" ”
