"You think that by dispatching 200,000 workers, you have made a huge contribution to the victory over the Allies, is that true?"
Many people were unhappy when they saw what Gao Hongming said. Why did their parents turn their elbows outward?
Xiao Zhankui couldn't help but said: "Isn't it true? Many workers died for this war."
Gao Hongming shook his head and looked at Xiao Zhankui: "Old Xiao, let me ask you. Your Second Battalion has produced many combat heroes in recent years. If I remember correctly, there are at least dozens of them who have meritorious service and received awards, right?"
"Yes!" Xiao Zhankui nodded proudly.
"Then why have I never seen you award medals to the cooks and civilians who transported ammunition? Didn't they contribute to the victory?"
"this……"
Xiao Zhankui was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Medal is only qualified for the brave. If even cooks and porters can receive medals, then the medals are too worthless, right?"
"You also know that only the brave are eligible to receive medals, right?" Gao Hongming's voice became colder: "Even you yourself are not willing to give them medals, so why do you think that the Western powers will treat our nobles?
Have a look."
At this point, his voice became louder: "What is labor? To put it bluntly, it is a group of coolies. If it were you, would you think that a group of coolies are qualified to be compared with those soldiers fighting on the front line?
"
Gao Hongming's words mercilessly tore away the fig leaf that no one wanted to mention. Workers are workers. People may lament their hard work, but they will never worship or admire a group of coolies. This is the reality.
"We did not fight in the trenches with the Germans for the victory of World War I. Why should the Western powers share the fruits of victory with you, just because you endure hardship and stand hard work?"
The biggest difference between Gao Hongming, who came from a later generation, and people of this era is that he looks at problems from a different perspective. He can jump out of historical limitations to the greatest extent and analyze and look at it from a more objective and comprehensive perspective.
After leaving everyone speechless, Gao Hongming finally said: "Many of you think that the Americans have bad intentions in letting us send troops and let us die for them.
Yes, I admit that what you said does make sense. This is what the Americans mean, and they have no intention of hiding it.
But what I want to say is that this world is very fair. You have to pay for what you want. Otherwise, why should the Americans let us share the territory they have conquered with the blood and lives of countless American soldiers? Why?
Is it just because of your big face?"
There are also some things that Gao Hongming did not say. If this matter were to happen in future generations, if the Americans really agreed to give Okinawa a territory of more than 200 square kilometers to China, and even allowed the Chinese army to garrison in Japan, not to mention how many people would have been lost.
There are already a thousand people, and we won’t frown if we add another zero.
You can imagine that if China has bases and troops stationed in Okinawa and Japan, you see, the Japanese government still dares to show its teeth to us. Then we can do whatever we want to do with them, and the entire Asian structure will change because of this.
It's just that Gao Hongming can only keep these things in his heart. He can't say that in the future, the Americans will arrange three chains around China in an attempt to lock China tightly. Countless Chinese soldiers and scientific researchers have almost racked their brains for this, until
In the two years since he traveled back in time, the first chain began to loosen.
If we had stationed troops in Okinawa and Japan from the beginning, how could China be so passive? As long as the Japanese dared to say no, our troops would be able to teach them how to behave in minutes.

"Sir Gao is here!"
Following the shouts of the duty officer, the officers in the noisy joint operations command hall stood up one after another.
Gao Hongming, wearing a 36 German military uniform, walked into the war room. His eyes scanned the officers and staff in the war room, and finally landed on Yang Aiyuan, Sun Chu, Commander Liu and Political Commissar Ping who were standing not far away.
Seeing Gao Hongming coming, Sun Chu took the lead to greet him and said to him with a smile: "Brother Gao, you are really good. You actually asked the US Ambassador to China to come to you to discuss things in person, but you kept it secret even from us.
What you did was not honest."
Gao Hongming smiled modestly, "It's not a big deal, not worth showing off. Thanks to all the officers, Hong Ming is so frightened."
Although Gao Hongming said it very modestly, no one present took it seriously.
As the most economically powerful country in the world today, its ambassadors stationed in other countries represent its face, but not everyone is qualified to have a country's ambassador travel thousands of miles to meet him.
Sun Chu asked curiously: "Brother Gao, can you tell me what Ambassador Gao Si wants to do with you? Of course, if it's a matter of confidentiality, there's no need to tell you."
"There's nothing bad to say about that."
Gao Hongming smiled faintly: "Two months ago, the U.S. Navy and the Japanese Combined Fleet fought a battle at Midway Island.
The Japanese were severely defeated, losing 4 aircraft carriers, a heavy cruiser, 332 aircraft and hundreds of the most elite naval pilots.
Although this battle was small in scale, it was a turning point in the Pacific War. From then on, Japan changed from offensive to defensive in the Pacific, and the Americans also took the opportunity to weaken the scope of Japanese activities in the Pacific.
The Guadalcanal Campaign launched last month was the Americans' initial attempt, but this attempt was not very successful. In just over half a month, the Americans lost nearly 10,000 people. Roosevelt was afraid of arousing the resentment of the American people, so he decided to
Hit me."
Who among the people present is not a human being? He understood what Gao Hongming said. Sun Chu blurted out: "The Americans want you to send troops to Guadalcanal?"
Gao Hongming nodded and held out five fingers, "He wants me to send out five thousand men, and he will make up for the loss as much as possible, until the Japanese surrender."
As soon as this statement came out, even Yang Aiyuan couldn't help shouting: "Are Americans crazy? How is this possible?"
Commander Liu couldn't help but advise: "Commander Gao, you have to pay attention, this is a bottomless pit. Once you agree to this clause, no matter how many troops you have, it won't be enough to fill it, and the Americans will definitely put you there."
Use it to death."
Seeing everyone's persuasion, Gao Hongming felt excited, "Everyone, listen to me, there is a reason for me to do this, because I have reached an agreement with the US government through Ambassador Gao Si before.
"
"protocol?"
"What agreement?"
Gao Hongming looked at everyone with piercing eyes and said word for word: "The U.S. government promised me that once I agree to send troops to help the U.S. in its war in the Pacific, after defeating Japan, the U.S. government can demarcate a piece of land on Okinawa.
Give me a place less than 200 square kilometers, and I can also get one or two military bases in Japan, and I can garrison this military base."
"hiss……"
After Gao Hongming finished speaking, there was a gasp of air from around him.
