Such a meeting was equivalent to setting the strategy. Except for the British special envoy, Roosevelt and Mrs. Song were very satisfied with the outcome of the meeting. The United States was now extremely angry because of the attack on Pearl Harbor, but Roosevelt clearly saw that the U.S. military did not

Too much experience fighting the Japanese army.

At this time, the National Defense Forces sent their navy and air force that had fought against the Japanese army. This was undoubtedly a gesture and the best support for the United States. Veterans who have experienced the war are very precious.

Of course, Roosevelt did not completely say that he ignored Britain's interests. He had already said that he would convene a tripartite meeting at the appropriate time to coordinate the strategic cooperation between them.

Under these words, the special envoy could only keep his mouth shut. Even if he had some ideas and the President of the United States had already made a statement, he would not be able to chase after him.

No matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only hold his nose and admit it. Then there was nothing more to do with the special envoy. This was a matter of military coordination between the United States and the coalition government. The special envoy could not interrupt.

In fact, the special envoy also hopes that the National Defense Force can send some humanitarian troops to the United Kingdom to assist in defense, but this is obviously impossible. Not to mention that the two places are far apart, and the relationship between the United Kingdom and the coalition government has not reached that level.

So he could only watch helplessly as Mrs. Song and Roosevelt identified more than 6,000 naval volunteers and 200 air force support teams while joking.

The high-level talks were very pleasant, but there were different voices in the US military.

"I don't welcome those damn yellow-skinned monkeys at all! If those Japanese guys didn't attack by surprise, they wouldn't even be able to get even half a step closer to Pearl Harbor!" Admiral Kimmel, the former commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet who was demoted to reserve rear admiral, said in his own words

growled lowly in the study room.

Although he has left the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet and even left the active military, his many years of military career have allowed him to accumulate a lot of contacts.

He became the most trusted general among these people, so the general got the news as soon as the White House made the decision.

"We can no longer make judgments on these things, Kimmel..." Lieutenant General Walter Short, the former commander of the Hawaii ground forces, said with a wry smile: "Don't you see it?! We have become the ones who have been eliminated.

, we no longer have a say in the military..."

Kimmel's face turned blue and white. He was speechless. He knew that Walter Short was telling the truth, and even Short himself might be forced to retire in two months.

They really have no say in the war, because they are now losers and the culprits who caused the attack on Pearl Harbor due to negligence. No one dares to speak for them, and even if they get the information, it is only because of the conservatives in the US military.

The US military did not want the Chinese to intervene and sent them this message.

There are two doctrines prevalent in the United States today, one is isolationism and the other is conservatism. Isolationism means that the United States will not intervene in any war that is not directed against the United States and avoid immersing itself in a war to ensure

own safety.

The most extreme form of conservatism is white supremacy. The less extreme form is the exclusion of people of color to a certain extent. This includes management, key departments and highly influential institutions. This is especially true in the current US military.

.

"Blacks are mentally retarded, and because of their submissive nature and cowardice in the face of danger, they are not suitable for war." This was a 1925 research report by the U.S. Army War College.

It was also this report that laid the foundation for the already loud "apartheid system" in the US military. This system was not resolved until the middle and late stages of World War II under Roosevelt's strong protests and demands.

Therefore, it is normal for the US military to refuse entry to Chinese nationals.

"They can come, but it's up to us whether we need them or not!" A US military officer shouted loudly at the party: "I will tell those yellow-skinned monkeys how the war should be fought! Their methods are outdated!"

Of course, it was impossible for Roosevelt not to hear these words, but he had nothing to do. Although he was the president of the United States, he could not interfere in everything. The military had military methods. As long as they did not violate federal laws and did not harm federal interests.

Roosevelt couldn't do anything to them.

Politics has never been about arbitrary actions. Politics is more about balance and compromise. Within your own principles, do your best to reach common interests with the other party.

Those dissatisfactions also reached Gun Ye's ears, but unfortunately, no one dared to show off in front of Gun Ye. Perhaps the experience Colt told was too scary, and no one thought he could fight better than a bear.

It may also be that his son once killed more than ten assassins with his bare hands in Germany. This record was too terrifying, and no one wanted to try whether they would become a hand-torn chicken in the hands of this uncle.

"Tell our people, forget about the warships. Let the Americans prepare them for us. We will bring the planes ourselves!" Gun Ye coldly snorted and ordered to his adjutant: "Ground staff and security personnel are all important. Those Americans are not

Do you look down on us?! Then don’t touch our plane!”

"The kid who comes over here should play nice for me. If anyone wants to disgrace our National Defense Force, I will skin him!"

The gunman was very unhappy that these white guys doubted the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Force, so he decided to teach these guys a lesson. So a report was placed on Marshall's desk, which made Marshall smile bitterly.

"Your Excellency, I think we are in big trouble." Marshall didn't think much. He could only hand the report to Roosevelt: "I didn't know that the talkative fool went to find this general.

The trouble has led to him now requesting a confrontational exercise with us."

Roosevelt was also in a daze while holding the report. The report was typed up by the gunman. Of course, he himself must not be able to write English. This was done by a gunman.

The report was very polite. The U.S. military is about to fight the Japanese army now. Then the National Defense Forces, which have fought with the Japanese army, will conduct a simulation exercise with the U.S. military. On the one hand, it can enhance mutual trust between the two sides, and on the other hand, it can also let the U.S. military understand the Japanese army.

combat methods and tactical arrangements.

It seems that this is a request that cannot be refuted, and it is very reasonable. But both Roosevelt and Marshall knew that if the gunman really did this, there was no telling what this extremely angry general would do.

"That's fine, our soldiers are too arrogant. We should let them know what our opponents are like." Roosevelt thought for a while before saying: "After all, soon, we will directly face the Japanese army.

If you still don’t know anything about them at this time, you will have to risk your life in exchange for these experiences when you go to the battlefield..."

Marshall smiled bitterly, and after a while he said to Roosevelt: "Mr. President, if it is just a confrontation exercise, I have no objection. But it is obvious that the general has been stimulated, and I am afraid that he will do something outrageous. This

It is not beneficial to the relationship between the two countries..."

Roosevelt sighed helplessly. Racism is now very prevalent in the U.S. military. This has resulted in serious discrimination being commonplace in the U.S. military.

In fact, this is true even in today's American society. It's just that in the military, this kind of discrimination is more obvious. This gave Roosevelt a headache. There are not a few black people in the United States.

It is certainly impossible not to allow them to join the war, but if this kind of discrimination exists on the battlefield, no one can be sure that they will not choose to join the enemy's side.

"I agree with his report..." In the end, Roosevelt chose to do this: "I will personally talk to the general about specific issues..."

Marshall nodded in agreement. Since the president has made a decision, all he can do is execute it.

"Chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp... Boom! Boom! Boom..." Countless artillery shells fell like raindrops on the northern part of Corregidor Island in the Philippines. The entire Corregidor land was shaking, and the Japanese artillery fire was raging.

The tree was shattered by artillery fire and burned.

The American troops in the temporary fortifications could not help but tremble. They had no support and many of them even escaped. Under the stormy bombardment of the Japanese army, they felt like a small boat in the stormy waves...

At 11:10 p.m., the left wing of the Japanese Fourth Division, including the 61st Infantry Regiment, the 7th Tank Regiment and two squadrons of mountain artillery units, began the landing operation on Corregidor.

"Thud, tug, tug..." The US troops on the position launched an extremely fierce resistance. They knew that this was their last position. If they lost this place, they would have no choice but to jump into the sea.

It is a pity that the Japanese army not only had artillery support but also tanks to clear the way. Although the US military, which lacked anti-tank weapons, resisted extremely bravely, they only ended up retreating steadily.

The tanks quickly crushed the U.S. beachhead, and then the infantry that rushed up began to clear the battlefield under the cover of the tanks. Seeing that they had lost their advantage, the U.S. troops on the position could only withdraw from the beachhead unwillingly.

After the beachhead was established, a large number of Japanese troops swarmed forward, and the balance of forces on Corregidor Island suddenly changed drastically.

"We are isolated, Jonathan, and you know that." Wainwright remembered what MacArthur said to him before leaving.

"You know if I go to Australia, I will come back here as soon as possible with as many things as possible. In the meantime, you must keep this place!"

"As long as I live, I will always hold on to Bataan! I swear!" Wainwright remembered what he said to MacArthur. But now he didn't know if he could continue to hold on.

Wainwright stroked the pack of cigars beside him, which MacArthur gave to him before he left. Two large cans of shaving cream were also given to him at the time.
