If there is time for the 4th Marine Division to continue to train so slowly, then the situation may be fine, because over time, the American GIs will gradually learn some practical experience in their exchanges with the expeditionary force and in training. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But the problem is that the battlefield waits for no one......

Less than a month later, Major General Jack received an order from Halsey to send a regiment of the U.S. Marine Division to the Marshall Islands to help clear out the Japanese army.

The reason why Halsey is in such a hurry is partly because there are so many islands in the Marshall Islands...... More than 1,000 islands, coupled with the fact that the Chinese troops that were originally the main force were transferred for political reasons, led to a serious shortage of U.S. troops in the Marshall Islands to search and clear the troops.

On the other hand, it is Halsey who also knows that what is learned on the training ground is still not as good as the real battlefield. At this time, the clean-up of the Marshall Islands can be said to be low-intensity battles...... Air and sea supremacy are all in the hands of the US military, and the Japanese troops on the islands are still surrounded by the US military.

This is a characteristic of island warfare, and whoever has air and sea supremacy will have the initiative in logistics in an all-round way...... The Japanese army is stationed on the islands, and it is impossible for reinforcements to swim from other islands, and ammunition and supplies cannot be conjured out of thin air, and the sea water is a natural wall around the island.

These objective factors led to the weakness of the Japanese soldiers in the Marshall Islands, and because the quality of the 61st garrison of the Japanese army stationed in the Marshall Islands was not high, a large number of Japanese troops surrendered on each island, and even because the Japanese army was very cruel to the natives living in this area in peacetime, the natives were helping the U.S. military to find out the Japanese.

From this aspect, it can also be seen that Americans do not actually talk about "democracy, freedom, and equality" as they themselves proclaim...... The Marshall Islands has indigenous life, and there are still a lot of indigenous people living in this area, and it has never been the territory of the United States, but the United States turned this place into a test ground for their nuclear explosion after the war, according to statistics, the United States detonated a total of 61 nuclear bombs in the Marshall Islands, which caused a large area of marine pollution, not to mention, but also made many islands nuclear radiation exceeds the standard until modern times are not suitable for human habitation.

It is ironic that a country that has caused such serious environmental pollution has repeatedly accused China of destroying the environment...... The construction of a hydropower station is accused of destroying the ecological environment, and the construction of a factory is saying that it is destroying vegetation or pollution from waste gas and wastewater.

You must know that any human behavior can be said to destroy the environment, and walking a few steps may kill a few ants and trample a few grasses!

The real reason behind this is that in 2013, China surpassed the United States for the first time in terms of industrial scale to become the world's largest industrial country...... This is the first time that the United States has been pulled down from the throne of the largest industrial country since the founding of the country, so it wants to limit China's industrial development in every possible way, and it is environmental protection and global warming, and what carbon emissions are there.

For this reason, the United States does not hesitate to weave one scam after another...... Many scientific studies have found that there is no direct connection between global warming and atmospheric pollution, because in ancient times, there were several times when the earth's temperature was much higher than it is now, but not during the pollution period, but during the pollution period, such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires, the temperature was lower.

But the U.S.-manipulated organization arbitrarily altered the data, and as a result, emails were exposed...... It has become a major scandal on the issue of global warming.

Its intentions are self-explanatory...... The developed countries have completed the industrial revolution, their industries have been successfully transformed from labor-intensive to technology-intensive industries, and the era of large amounts of wastewater and waste gas emissions has passed, but developing countries need to discharge a large amount of waste water and waste gas because of economic development.

At this point, there are many people on the modern Internet who blindly follow the trend and condemn it...... Of course, this is not to say that environmental pollution is good, but a considerable number of Chinese people were psychologically defeated by European and American countries after World War I and World War II, believing that China's economic development is at the cost of destroying the environment.

But the truth is......

Economic development and industrial development are inevitably accompanied by a certain degree of environmental damage, and it is no exaggeration to say that China's environmental pollution caused by economic development is nothing compared with that of the United States and European countries...... In the United Kingdom, because of industrial exhaust emissions, the capital London has become a fog capital, and the lights must be turned on on the streets during the day; German industrial wastewater turned the entire Rhine into a black, smelly ditch; In the United States, it is even more exaggerated, because of the excessive emission of toxic gases, there was a case of 20 deaths and more than 6,000 illnesses in a small town.

China, which is only following the path that developed countries have taken, and the level of pollution is undoubtedly much smaller than that of these old industrial countries, because it has learned from the experience of environmental pollution in these countries, and at the same time has learned their environmental control technology, but it has been condemned, questioned and suppressed......

Gossip aside.

To put it simply, Halsey's purpose in issuing this order was to use the low-intensity war in the Marshall Islands to better train the US Fourth Marine Division, or to bring it into a state of war more quickly, so that it could perform better in future battles.

Major General Jack also felt that this was not a big problem...... It's just that some remnants of the Japanese army were wiped out, and maybe as soon as the American troops landed, the Japanese would raise their hands and surrender.

So he confidently sent a regiment up, and he still stayed in Rabaul to organize the so-called "joint training".

But within a few days, Halsey made a phone call and scolded Jack......

"Jack!" Halsey asked: "I heard that you did not let the Chinese train your troops, I hope this is not true!" ”

"General!" Jack replied, "In fact, we've been learning from Chinese all the time......"

"But it's not enough!" Halsey on the other end of the phone roared angrily: "I think I have made my meaning clear, although it is 'joint training', you must be trained by the Chinese troops!" ”

"General!" Jack replied: "I think my troops will be able to ......"

"Do you think your troops are up to the envelope in the upcoming battle?" Halsey interrupted Jack: "God! You should really come here to check it out...... Your troops suffered hundreds of casualties in a Japanese attack last night, and most of these casualties were caused by themselves! Because they only faced a dozen enemies! ”

Hearing this, Jack couldn't help but open his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time.
