Chapter 981: The Americans Are Still Coming
"The landing on the Japanese mainland cannot be delayed any longer!" Roosevelt said directly and forcefully with a calm face. ,!
His body was up and down. Perhaps there was something else to his death, but the disease also influenced many of his decisions.
However, this did not prevent him from winning the November 7 election and being re-elected president of the United States.
MacArthur had long been eager to land on Japanese soil. But the previous U.S. election made Roosevelt not dare to take risks.
He already has the foundation of three presidents, and as long as there are no accidents, he can still hold the new president in his hands, but if there is a problem in the matter of landing in Japan, and if he encounters the problem of turning his face in Japan or turning his face with China, it will directly affect his election.
The forces that advocate Europe first and then Asia, as well as some forces in China and Japan lobbying the United States, have caused the Americans to delay their actions.
Now that he has once again assumed the presidency of the most powerful country on earth, Roosevelt can use his will to determine the direction of the United States.
This may be one of the reasons why he died in less than half a year, but in some cases where the fundamental interests of many American capital predators are not involved, Roosevelt's decisions are often very effective, and they can directly suppress many opposing voices.
Just like this time, on the day he was elected president, Roosevelt gave new instructions on things in Asia.
If you say that you still had the idea of watching China and Japan lose, but the recent sweep of China has made Americans have to consider entering early. Moreover, as the advantages of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union over the Germans began to become apparent, the Americans also needed to think more about Asian problems in advance.
His proposal was quickly adopted.
On 9 November, MacArthur, who had already been prepared, sent a brigade and a regiment of Marines to sail from the Philippines to the Japanese mainland under the pressure of the USS Enterprise.
……
"The Americans are still coming!" Meng Xiang sighed.
Although he has made all kinds of preparations, after all, he wants to change the history he already knows, and he is singled out with the world's number one power, and the pressure on Meng Xiang is still very great. Subconsciously. Meng Xiang still hopes that the time of this duel will continue to drag on. But when the news came that the Americans were really coming, Meng Xiang was like letting go of a big stone in his heart and relaxed.
"The Japanese allowed the Americans to be stationed in the Shizuoka area. So to speak, as long as we lay Hamamatsu. After attacking the Tianlong River, it is necessary to directly face the Americans. Fan Chong frowned, despite making a series of plans, he still had no bottom in his heart. But when it comes to the end, he still won't back down.
Perhaps public opinion in society still has different views on confrontation with the United States, but the entire Chinese army, with the vanguard army created by Meng Xiang as the backbone, has long been unified.
For so many years. The successive victories around China have allowed the Chinese army to regain the confidence not to fear any opponent.
"Lao Maozi was beaten down by us, and now the little devil's nest is served by us, what about the Americans?" This is the opinion of many people in the Chinese army, including some middle and high-ranking generals.
Although he was a little arrogant, Meng Xiang did not suppress it. The army should have the domineering spirit of despising everything. Meng Xiang just tried his best to let more people know about the specific military strength of the Americans.
Strategically it is possible to defy the Americans, but tactically it must be taken seriously.
Although the Americans did not have the ability to fight bayonets, the powerful firepower of the Americans was not comparable to that of the earlier Soviet Russians and the Japanese. There is no need for the Chinese army's firepower to suppress poorly, and even some places are even extravagant, and it is easy to cause large casualties to the Chinese army if you are not careful.
"If you don't fight. That's it! Zhou Bai sighed lightly beside him, "There are still a few good projects and some emerging technologies in the United States, but I'm afraid I won't be able to learn them." ”
In recent years, Huaxia has indeed found a lot of good things from the United States.
The United States is very simple, as long as you are willing to pay, you can exchange a lot of machinery and equipment and technology. Especially with the consolidation of China's basic industry and the need to go to a higher level, the United States, as an industrial leader, has a lot to learn from.
Even though there are a large number of students sent to the United States and technology introduction, they are faced with the miracle created by industrial civilization on the other side of the ocean. It still gives people a pity for the lack of management.
Zhou Bai also complained, and the understanding of Sino-US relations in the top echelons of the vanguard army had already reached a clear understanding and reached a consensus under the repeated influence of Meng Xiang.
"If we unite with the Americans to divide Japan equally, maybe we will ease relations between the two countries!" Zhou Bai had fantasized about the United States before, but was woken up by Meng Xiang's words.
"If we say that we are in China in previous years. Maybe we can achieve a win-win situation with the Americans! But now, as Chinese exports continue to crowd out the market for American goods, don't you feel that Americans' attitudes are constantly changing? Meng Xiang pointed directly to the economic field.
In later generations, China and the United States had a win-win situation for many years, which was based on the fact that Americans' industry was greatly reduced due to the increase in labor costs and other factors, and capital poured into the high-tech and financial capital markets with more huge profits, which led to the harmonious win-win situation between China and the United States and even Europe by relying on primary industrial processing.
People develop at a high level, and they are unable and disdainful to develop those low-level primary industrial developments. Even if Huaxia has become the world's factory, it still can't escape the life of a wage earner.
Capital has evolved into a financial freak in the digital game, and an economic crisis and a financial storm have swept away the hard-earned money of the real economy for more than ten years.
The scope of capital exploitation has expanded to the whole world, and the state has become the focus of exploitation. Even if China becomes the middle class, it will not escape exploitation at the top of the capital pyramid.
If the unwilling China wanted to climb up, it gradually involved high-tech and financial profiteering, and was immediately suppressed by the United States.
The contradictions between China and the United States in later generations, among which there are many reasons for this kind of attack on competitors, where do you still shout the slogan of win-win?
In this era, the Americans were the world's factories, and the industrial production that relied on labor and a large amount of capital was the strength of the Americans, and when they were preparing knives and forks to take advantage of the war to divide the global market due to the decline of Europe, all kinds of industrial products printed with Chinese manufacturing rushed to the world like a tide, freezing the Americans' dream of monopolizing the global market.
Huaxia is relying on the advantage of labor to rise a larger global factory ahead of schedule, which is seen as the most threatening competitor by Americans, who still have the vast majority of capital invested in industrial entities rather than financial games.
When the United States no longer favors China's vast market and complains that China's products are crowding out their orders, the U.S. government, which is the vane of capital, needs to take a stand.
"Perhaps, throwing away some of Japan's local wealth, we can get along with the United States for a few years, but how long can we last for a few years?" Meng Xiang asked Zhou Bai rhetorically.
If there are no other external factors, Meng Xiang also hopes to exchange Japan's fat for a longer development time in China. As long as there is enough time for development, Huaxia, which has been accelerating its development, will rely on its own strength without fear of any opponent.
However, many time periods in the base urged Meng Xiang to solve the external troubles in advance. Even he couldn't confirm what would happen to the base in 49 years.
Meng Xiang had only reconciled relations with the Americans 49 years ago, even before the Americans, who had repeatedly delayed the development of nuclear bombs, had created nuclear bombs.
"If we go to war with the Americans, how much of a threat will the United States, which occupies part of the territory of Japan, pose to us?" Meng Xiang continued to ask rhetorically.
Even Zhou Bai, who is not familiar with military affairs, understands what it means to let a superpower like the United States sleep soundly on his side.
If the Americans reach out to Huaxia, there will be an infinite hidden danger, and the security and national defense expenditures paid to eliminate this hidden danger alone will also be a large astronomical amount of expenditure.
"Lose the east, harvest the mulberry! Because of Southeast Asia and Australia, our relationship with Britain and the United States is irretrievable, but we can harvest the friendship of the Germans! The Germans are the ones who control the industrial elite of Europe! Meng Xiang's words completely convinced Zhou Bai.
In this era, Europe is still the center of industrial civilization and the center of science and technology. What you can't get from the Americans, you can get it from the Germans.
Zhou Bai, who was deeply influenced by American industrial civilization, only regretted that he did not take more good things from the Americans, but it did not mean that he did not know that the Germans had good goods in their hands. It's just that just as the Americans tightened their technological restrictions on China, the Germans also had reservations about China.
"The Germans have given us more permissions, some of the technology and equipment are even better than the Americans!" Pharmacist Tang next to him said with a smile.
Meng Xiang smiled beside him.
He laid out the layout for so long, and even risked the fact that the Germans would compromise prematurely in the end, and Huaxia would fight the entire Allied army alone, and finally removed the door panel of the Germans' restrictions on China.
The wealth of Japan itself is only an appetizer before a meal, and the countless riches of Europe are the main goal of Mengxiang.
When the Germans, who were unfavorable in the war, lowered their arrogant heads, did not hesitate to make all kinds of compromises, and promised China all kinds of promises to harvest European interests, China and the United States would have to fight.
In order to occupy more moral initiative, Meng Xiang has not swallowed Japan quickly, keeping part of Japanese territory, and waiting for the Americans to jump into this big pit by themselves.
