Chapter 1786 Exciting

At this time, it was late at night in the White House in Washington, USA.

"Garbage, all are garbage, waste, all are waste!"

President Roosevelt angrily threw a thick stack of briefs into the trash can.

These briefings are the latest battle reports summarized and fed back to the White House by the Allied battlefields.

Unfortunately, these war reports are all bad news without exception, and there is no pleasant good news. Among them, what made Roosevelt feel particularly troubled was British Prime Minister Churchill.

"This fat man, his eyes can only see a little distance." Roosevelt stretched out his right thumb and index finger to compare a short distance, and said angrily, "He only saw that every day the Soviet Union and Germany consumed, Britain could retain one more point in strength. When the international order was rebuilt after the war, they could fight for one more point in profit, but they didn't see. What would happen if the Soviet Union really allowed Germany to defeat him?"

"He didn't think about what serious consequences would it lead to once the Soviet Union was defeated and once the surrender was announced?"

"He doesn't think about it. Once Germany transfers hundreds of elite divisions from the Eastern Front to the Western Front, what desperate situation will the US and British Allied forces face?"

"At that time, I still want to counterattack Europe? Have his dream!"

"At that time, it will be God's blessing to be able to defend the British islands!"

Roosevelt roared angrily in a wheelchair, while Secretary of State Hull remained silent.

There is only one reason why Roosevelt is so angry, that is Churchill’s little calculation in his heart.

In order to consume more of the national strength of the Soviet Union and Germany, Churchill insisted on opposing direct landing in Europe. The reason for advance was extremely high-sounding, saying that even when Germany was at the most tense of the Eastern Front, it always retained more than 200 divisions on the Western Front. If the Allies landed in Europe and opened up a second battlefield, they would inevitably be hit by the German army head-on. Not to mention, it may also lead to Germany adjusting its center of gravity to the Western Front.

At that time, the United States and Britain were under the main military pressure of Germany.

The Soviet Union may not share Germany's military pressure at such a critical moment.

These are nonsense. To put it bluntly, Churchill wanted to use this to consume the Soviet Union's national strength so that he could maintain the strong political status of the world's only superpower after the war ended.

Churchill's thought made the Allies very passive in various battlefields.

On the Eastern Front battlefield in Europe, the Soviet Red Army was already in a desperate situation. Not long ago, in the just-concluded Battle of Kiev, more than 2 million Soviet troops were surrounded and annihilated.

The Soviet Union's troops were almost exhausted.

The only thing that is thankful is that the Japanese government is so short-sighted that at this time, it is still making a small plan and trying to use the Soviet Union to consume Germany's strength. Therefore, the Soviet Union was able to free up its hands and transfer elite troops from the Far East to the European battlefield. It is precisely because of the troops transferred from the Far East that barely blocked the German offensive.

But if reinforcements are not received for a long time, the defeat of the Soviet Union is also destined.

Because in terms of comprehensive national strength, there is a huge gap between the Soviet Union and Germany, which integrates almost the entire Europe.

Another is the African battlefield. Because Churchill firmly opposes direct landing in Europe, the Allies can only choose to open a second battlefield in North Africa.

However, the combat operations in North Africa were not very smooth.

Due to various constraints such as distance, weather, and terrain, the 8th British Army retreating to Egypt and the 7th US Army that had just landed in Morocco were unable to form a joint force.

In a just-concluded battle in Alahman, the British army was defeated again.

Not only that, Alexander, commander-in-chief of the Allied African Army, also shot a target and put the responsibility for defeat on the Americans, believing that the 7th Army of the US commanded by Patton was unable to restrain the German and Italian coalition forces, which led to the defeat of the British army in Alamein, and thus made the situation on the entire African battlefield in jeopardy.

In Australia, the British and Australian troops have now been defeated by the Japanese army.

From the current perspective, the fall of Australia is an inevitable result.

The British and Australian governments have even organized herders to prepare for guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army.

Thinking of this, Roosevelt suddenly felt his temples rushing. What's the matter?

At this moment, the female secretary Lehand quickly stepped in, put a telegram on Roosevelt's lap, and said in surprise: "His Excellency President, this is the good news that General Roosevelt had just sent back from the battlefield in Myanmar."

Hearing the word "good news", Secretary of State Hull next to him suddenly felt refreshed.

Roosevelt was also energetic. He took the telegram and cheered when he saw it.

"Yes, after seeing so much bad news, there was finally a thrilling good news." Roosevelt waved his fist vigorously and said, "Myanmar War Zone is doing beautifully!"

Hull seized the opportunity and said: "His President, has there been a critical turning point in the Myanmar War Zone?"

"No, this one." Roosevelt shook his head and then said, "But it should be soon."

After saying that, Roosevelt handed the telegram to Hull, and continued: "This victory of the Allies in the Battle of Mandalay on the Myanmar battlefield has actually curbed the Japanese offensive in Myanmar. Next, it is our Allies' turn to launch a counterattack. Damn it, finally, the Allies on the battlefield are about to enter a combat counterattack! I have had enough defense and defense, and blindly defending. It is time for our Allies to launch a strategic counterattack!"

...

Chongqing, Yunxiu Tower.

Because of the battle of Yinjiang, Principal Chang suffered another day.

Don’t worry, it’s okay. Under the fierce attack of the four Japanese divisions, Yinjiang is like an isolated island under the stormy waves, and there is a possibility of sinking at any time.

Fortunately, Zhong Yi chose a good commander for Yin Jiang.

General Wang Yao did not disappoint Zhong Yi's expectations and performed very well.

As of the evening, the 10th Army had repelled three large-scale attacks from the 13th Japanese Army.

The Japanese army left no less than 10,000 corpses outside Yinjiang City, but even the outer defense line of the 10th Army was unable to break through. Yinjiang city and Yinxi industrial parks were still firmly in the hands of the National Army.

It was not until seven o'clock in the evening that after receiving a telegram from the 10th Army, President Chang's heart finally fell to his feet.

After a whole day of work, once he relaxed, he felt particularly tired. When Principal Chang was about to take a break, Zhang Zhizhong suddenly walked into the study excitedly.

"Principal, the Battle of Mandalay has been won!" Zhang Zhizhong said.

"What?" President Chang was stunned when he heard this, "Have you won the Battle of Mandalay?"
