Chapter 1813 Pessimism

Marshall said seriously: "His Excellency President, although I am willing to believe in the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army and the command ability of General Zhong Yi from personal perspective, the reality is cruel. I am pessimistic about the prospects of the Chinese army in the Battle of Mandalay. Perhaps, our aid to northern Myanmar is a bit too hasty."

After a pause, Marshall said: "We listened too much to Stilwell's opinion, so that our judgment was affected by his remarks. It was a bad decision to decide to build a large industrial area in northern Myanmar."

Hearing this, Roosevelt's face became more and more embarrassing, because the aid to the northern Myanmar industrial zone had been fully launched.

The machinery, equipment and engineering and technical personnel required for hundreds of aid projects have been sent to Myanmar in batches, and infrastructure projects in Myanmar have also been fully launched.

Thinking about it now, it is really as Marshall said, which is a bit too hasty.

"It's really damn." Roosevelt murmured, "I had known it, I should have considered it carefully."

"But fortunately, most of the aid projects in northern Myanmar have just been launched," Marshall said. "It is still affordable to stop at this time."

After pausing, Marshall said again: "His Excellency President, do you need to stop?"

At this time, Roosevelt's vision as the only president in American history to be re-elected for four terms.

"No, you can't stop at this time!" Roosevelt shook his head flatly and said, "If the aid to the northern Myanmar industrial zone is stopped at this time, it will directly cast a vote of distrust against the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Myanmar, which will undoubtedly greatly dampen the morale of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. If the Chinese Expeditionary Force had a little chance of winning the war, but after our US government cast a vote of distrust, they would have lost even the last trace of possible."

"Okay, then," Marshall shrugged, "You are the president, you have the final say."

After thinking for a while, Roosevelt ordered his secretary to say, "Draw a telegram immediately and send it to the Myanmar War Zone in an expedited manner, which means that the US government and people will always be with them, and that they firmly believe that they will definitely win this battle!"

"Yes, Your Excellency President." The beautiful female secretary agreed and turned around and hurried away.

Watching the female secret's back disappear, Roosevelt rubbed his forehead and murmured: "God, the Chinese Expeditionary Force must not lose, must win, otherwise..."

Otherwise, Roosevelt didn't say anything.

But Marshall could guess it.

...

10 Downing Street, Westminster, London.

Churchill walked into the conference room with a crutch, and the senior British generals who attended the meeting stood up one after another.

"Please sit down, everyone." Churchill waved his hand to everyone to sit down, and then walked to the main seat and sat down, and said, "Is Washington urging us to open up a second battlefield in Western Europe as soon as possible?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister," replied a British general. "The U.S. government can't wait to open a second battlefield on the west coast of Europe to relieve the pressure from the Soviet Union."

"Don't pay attention to them." Churchill waved his hand and said coldly, "The Americans are too stupid. They will never see through the nature of the Slavs. The Slavs are the most greedy and untrustworthy nation in the world, no doubt! So, before the Soviet Union sheds the last drop of blood, the British government will never agree to open a second battlefield in Europe. Yes, that's it, we will never agree."

After a pause, Churchill said: "What's more, Germany has added 100 troops to Africa to two million troops, and the pressure on the African battlefield has increased sharply. Therefore, under the premise that the Allied forces' resources are tilted toward the African battlefield, we cannot draw out more resources to open up the second battlefield in Europe!"

Speaking of this, Churchill asked again: "By the way, how is the situation on the battlefield in Africa?"

"The situation on the battlefield in Africa is not optimistic, Prime Minister." Another senior general replied, "After receiving reinforcements, Rommel strengthened the offensive. Now the British 8th Army and the US 7th Army are under great pressure. Before obtaining another increase in troops, they may be unable to launch a counterattack."

"Then let's increase your troops again!" Churchill frowned.

"But, Prime Minister, there are no soldiers to adjust in the British Empire." Another senior general spread his hands and said, "The local military sources have long been exhausted, and Australia has been mostly fallen. Although India and Canada have not yet been affected by the war, Canada is vast and sparsely populated, and the Indians are too lazy, which is really embarrassing."

"Farke! Then let the Americans increase their troops!" Churchill was furious.

Another senior general shrugged and said, "The United States has enough troops, but the weapons and equipment they have recently produced have all been assisted by the Myanmar War Zone, so they cannot arm more troops before they have obtained more weapons and equipment, so they cannot send additional reinforcements to the African battlefield!"

"Oh? Myanmar battlefield?" Churchill waved his fat arms and roared hysterically, "This is an extremely stupid decision. I have said earlier that any aid to the Myanmar war zone is stupid and a waste of resources! Even the British Empire's army is not an opponent of the Japanese army, so it is even more impossible for the Chinese army to defeat the Japanese army!"

"But, Your Excellency, the Chinese army won the first Battle of Mandalay." A clerk sitting next to him was unable to hold back and whispered.

"Shit, that's a lucky chance!" Churchill scolded him sternly, "Shut up, who told you to speak?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Churchill yelled angrily: "What do you think of me like this? Isn't it true that what I said? The last time the Chinese army won the Battle of Mandalay was just a lucky chance, but this time Japan mobilized 500,000 troops, and the Chinese army had no chance at all!"

"You all wait and see. The Japanese army will cut butter like a knife, and wipe it out all the Chinese army. Then the Yunnan-Burma Highway will be cut off, and the Chinese government will lose all aid, and then it will not hold on and surrender to Japan. Yes, they will surrender soon."

"The British Empire is the mainstay of this war!"

"Only by relying on the British Empire can Americans win this war!"

"Relying on those cowardly and incompetent Chinese people is the stupidest decision!"

"Fake, oh yes, there is no more stupid decision than this! Go!"

The senior generals at the meeting looked at each other and had no idea why the Prime Minister was furious.

Although the Prime Minister has not had a good impression of the Chinese, especially the Chief of the Myanmar War Theater Zhong Yi, he has not been so intense.

What's wrong with your Excellency Prime Minister today?
