Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 3185 Wartime National Management System
As soon as the mighty Wudao Tianwang aircraft carrier fleet sailed out of Hainan Island, it was detected by American reconnaissance planes.When the news reached the White House, Truman panicked.If the target of the Chinese fleet this time is the Philippines, it will definitely affect his intention to send troops to Europe.To this day, even if the Americans still talk about being brave, they don't think that China's naval power is enough to threaten the interests of the United States in the Pacific.But in private, the Chinese Pacific Fleet has actually become their confidant, the generals of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I don’t know how many times they have fantasized about completely burying this emerging fleet through a decisive naval battle. However, in the end, in view of The current status of the U.S. Navy, but no one dared to really bring it up.

The U.S. Pacific Fleet has been wiped out three times in a row. The lost ships are certainly heartbreaking for the Americans, but this is not the key point.What really makes the Americans unbearable is the casualties of frontline officers and soldiers of the navy.Unlike the army, the navy is more professional, so it is extremely difficult to develop officers.The three consecutive annihilations of the entire army have almost exhausted the active and reserve naval officers of the US Pacific Fleet.In this way, although the Americans still have the ability to quickly build more aircraft carriers and re-build the Pacific Fleet, they lack front-line commanders with rich practical experience. Even a layman like Truman knows it. It is still possible for the Chinese to deliver food.

This is also the main reason why the Americans strongly urged the British to intervene in the Pacific naval battle.The British ocean-going fleet has just been formed, and before entering the Pacific Ocean, the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet sailed towards the Philippines.Without a navy that can compete, the Americans don't think that the army alone can resist the Chinese attack.And if the Philippines retreats again, will the United States have a chance to do it again?China is not Japan!

"Suspend Palau's offensive and defend Luzon Island with all our strength. If the Chinese dare to launch a landing, no matter how much sacrifice they make, they must be blocked in the eastern part of Luzon Island. As long as we can withstand the Chinese attack for more than two months , I have a way to persuade the British and Japanese to launch a war of encirclement and annihilation against the Chinese. Yes, we must use a war of encirclement and annihilation to damage the morale of the Chinese. Generals, don’t you think that the Chinese are too aggressive now? Is it okay..."

During this period of time, because the international situation in the United States was unprecedentedly bad, Truman obviously added some military common sense.After speaking these words, although there is a lack of details, the general direction has been grasped.

Since the rise of the Xuebing Army, it is really appropriate to describe China as "Taishun".Not to mention the domestic battlefield, since the Xuebing Army entered Guangzhou, the Japanese have been unable to move.When the Xuebing army took Fujian and Zhejiang into their pockets, the Japanese were constantly suppressed and beaten, and eventually had to withdraw from most of China and retreat to the three northeastern provinces.The Xuebing Army has not only maintained a state of suppression of the Japanese army on the domestic battlefield, but also on foreign battlefields.Thinking about it carefully, no matter it was the war in the Indochina Peninsula, the Malay Peninsula, or even the battle in Australia, as long as the Chinese army appeared, the Japanese army was defeated one by one.

The "Tai Shun" of the Chinese army can also be reflected in the battle to aid the Soviet Union and the South American battle.It is worth mentioning that the change in the situation on the Soviet-Russian battlefield came just after the Chinese Far East Expeditionary Force joined the battlefield.As for the South American War, it was a collective pain for the Americans. Just like Truman, every time he thinks about it, he can't help but feel his heart tremble for a while, and at the same time, he hates MacArthur more and more.

With the South American war happening to this point, the Meissen mercenaries have become a joke.However, those who are familiar with the situation like Truman are very clear that although the Meissen mercenaries bear the name of mercenaries, in fact their combat power is no less than that of regular troops.What made the Americans even more dissatisfied was that the Meissen mercenaries were fighting on the mainland in South America, but they were chased like dogs by the Chinese, unable to fight back.South America has always been regarded by the United States as its own backyard. Based on this concept, South American countries are their natural little brothers in the hearts of Americans.Americans more or less uphold the gentleman personality of the British, and may not beat and scold these little brothers frequently, but they still enjoy the respectful attitude of these little brothers in front of their own family.However, since last year, this situation can only happen in the imagination.After the failure of the intervention in the Brazilian war, the United States seemed to have been stripped of its tiger skin. Although it has not been reduced to the point where sheepmen can be bullied, it is no longer possible to maintain its status as a big brother in front of South American countries.

"Is it still necessary to continue to send troops to the Philippines? According to your suggestion in the previous meeting, these troops would have been used in the European theater," Secretary of Defense Marshall asked.

After all, Europe is the "hometown" of the vast majority of Americans, and unlike those mercenary capitalists, as soldiers, their emotions are relatively simple, so they can better understand Truman's intention to send troops to Europe when it comes to European issues.

"I insist on sending troops to Europe. Have you noticed? The Germans have just completed their visit to China, and the Chinese sent a large fleet to attack the Philippines. I think this should be a request from Germany. Obviously, the Germans have detected us. They hope that China will exert pressure in the Philippines to force us to abandon this plan. What the enemy has worked hard to promote is exactly what we want to resolutely destroy. The more this is the case, the more determined we should be to send troops to Europe. Now, I'm only worried about those congressmen holding us back! Maybe we should restore the wartime national management system established by President Roosevelt at that time!"

Speaking of which, Truman is a very sweet president.Because his prestige was far inferior to that of his predecessor, shortly after he came to power, both houses of the Senate passed a bill to abolish the wartime state management system.As a result, he no longer has the qualifications of Roosevelt to make a promise on many major issues, so he has to spend a lot of energy lobbying between the two houses.This not only affected the decision-making efficiency of the White House, what Truman couldn't bear was that he had to make concessions on some major issues in many cases.

Truman has long been determined to restore the wartime national management system, but the generals here are more or less shadowed by plutocrats, so it’s okay for them to complain, but once they get real, they immediately become saws. gourd.

This is not the first time Truman has raised this question, nor is it the first time he has encountered this situation. The difference is that, in his mind, this matter has reached the point where it cannot be delayed, so he did not directly skip it as usual. He went on to say: "The United States has reached the most critical moment. As the president, I must obtain greater authorization! Generals, you are the pillars of the country, please express your opinions!"
