Chapter 102 The Axis Attack (12)

Everyone smiled bitterly. The president was completely disgusted by the SS US Army. Fortunately, the British were still a bit moral and did not hand over the more than 100,000 US troops in Britain to Germany, otherwise they could have organized two US troops. The situation in South Africa is also very tense now. Many of the German troops retreated from the Eastern Front are moving to Africa, and the South African battle is on the verge of the arrow. But the United States is now unable to take care of itself, and even the matter in South America is not even settled, so how can they still have the energy to take care of South Africa? Unfortunately, the 100,000 troops in South Africa will be completely destroyed in the end, and many people will inevitably continue to enter the prisoner-of-war camp.

This is also the reason why the London government withdrew from the alliance and even colluded with Japan to do some business. The United States did not strongly oppose it, annoyed Edward VIII. What should he do if he handed over the 100,000 US troops?

"General MacArthur finally made a personal suggestion. Can we consider making peace with the European side?" Ike whispered and repeated another MacArthur telegram, "He believes that it is unimaginable to defeat Japan and Germany at the same time in the current situation of being attacked on both sides. He suggests facing the reality and asking the European side of peace through a third country, even if it is a temporary ceasefire, it is better than being attacked on both sides!"

MacArthur and General Kim were the swearers who advocated first Asia and then Europe. They were suppressed by Roosevelt and then to implement the policy of first Europe and then Asia. Now they are no longer considering who first and who will come, but trying to find a way to stabilize one of them.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, because Truman made it clear that it was impossible to sign a ceasefire agreement during his term.

After a long time, Turner spoke: "I am actually very reluctant to make peace with the Germans. We have many more officers and soldiers who died in Germany than in Japan! But now the country is in crisis and must put down what we could not put down before. I personally agree to talk. And if the negotiation is completed at the beginning of next year, the Atlantic Fleet's 5 aircraft carriers and 4 battleships/large cruisers can reinforce the Falkland Islands to reinforce the Pacific..."

Truman was speechless for a while, and finally squeezed out a sentence weakly: "You can consider a peace talk, the key is, who should I send?"

Li Hai gave him an idea: "Mr. Dewey has always advocated peace against Germany. **. Since you are ready to announce your withdrawal from the election, the probability of Mr. Dewey winning the next general election is more than 95%. Why not let Mr. Dewey use this transition period to fulfill some presidential rights in advance and lead a secret peace against Germany?"

Truman secretly exclaimed: Li Hai is worthy of being the chief of staff whom President Roosevelt valued, and is full of insights (bad waters)! There are many benefits to sending Dewey to take the lead in peace talks:

If the terms of the German contract are humiliated, Dewey will slap himself in the face, because Truman will definitely delay Congressional deliberation and final signature until the new president takes office, this word must be signed by Dewey rather than others;

If the conditions of the German contract are tolerant, then Truman sends Dewey to negotiate in advance, which means he has great wisdom and foresight, and is an image display of politicians who can bend and stretch;

If Dewey refuses this task, then his opinion that "peace towards Germany is **" during the campaign is obviously a lie, and Truman will have a chance to make a comeback in the future.

So Truman was not worried that Dewey would not take over this task, even if the other party knew that he had bad intentions, he had to grit his teeth and take over the task.

As for Dewey's attack on Truman's "governance and leadership is unfavorable", Truman has accepted it completely: "Yes, it's all my fault. I have declared to withdraw from the election. What are you going to do? Why don't I announce my early resignation and let you take over as president in advance?"

For the Democrats, putting Dewey in such an embarrassing situation will also help avenge the Wallace incident.

The others remained silent after hearing Li Hai's words. Everyone knew very well that Li Hai and Turner were ready to resign. Turner even declared that "It's nothing great to be in prison in the future. People always have to pay the price for their choice!" When they thought of his energetic plan A, B, plan, and even + plan to attack Azores, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

"Sir, the Americans sent a medical ship to pick up the prisoners of war. To express their gratitude, they also sent us a batch of medicines, even some more valuable special medicines. I heard from them that it is worth at least $3 million!"

Tsukahara Misuzo nodded with a smile: "There are no other Americans, they are rich. Put them away and use them for the soldiers. Don't be too stingy. It's important to treat diseases and save people."

Halsey and Ingram gritted their teeth and took out this batch of medicine. In this situation, delivering medicine is like a reward for enemies, but Tsukahara Nishiso San was sure to take them: he knew that the US military could not provide the same wounded or prisoners to exchange, and could only exchange other things for them. Although the 3 million US dollar medicine was precious, it was just a matter of a transport plane flying.

More importantly, Americans must give it. Not giving it is not morally unreasonable, but also exposes their shortcomings of insufficient supplies. Although Tsukahara does not believe this; secondly, the United Fleet released people openly, but the US military shivered and said nothing, and was at a disadvantage in psychological warfare. So after asking Washington for advice, Ingram decisively agreed that it would be okay to send medicines to lose, but it shouldn't be lost.

Moreover, the two were also worried that if they did not express this time, the Japanese army would encounter US prisoners of war, especially injured prisoners of war, next time they would "tumbling" directly. Don't think that the Japanese couldn't do it!

Kusou Ryunosuke smiled and said, "Your business is beginning to move closer to the superior."

"Where is still far from the superior, what are Kakuda's gains?"

"The harvest is not big. The US military already knows that we are breaking the diplomatic relations, and the fleet has all retracted to the local area. The sea surface is cleaner than ever."

"Very good, this is a good phenomenon. It's good that American ships don't come out and sway around." Tsukahara Nishiso San looked at the map, "Have the fleet's fuel supply been done?"

"All of them are completed, and more than half of the attached tankers have been empty, and they have returned one after another."

"Okay, prepare to head northeast."

"Are you going to go to the West Coast?"

"I declare to go to the West Coast to see what the Americans react. I can follow the chief's method of attacking the East Coast and send a notice to the Americans. If the fleet of Pearl Harbor comes out, I will cooperate with Kakuta to eat him."

"What if the enemy doesn't come out? Are you still going to fight the West Coast?"
