It doesn't matter whether the crying child gets milk or not.
What's important is that troublemakers always need to be comforted, especially when they need it.
Besides, when others use this troublemaker as a knife.
Soon, a news story was published in major newspapers in Washington, New York and other places.
"In order to aid the European battlefield, the Allied Command ordered that resources be tilted to Europe as much as possible, resulting in the suspension of construction of the airport used to bomb Tokyo due to insufficient funds."
This seemingly insignificant news immediately stimulated the hearts of the American people. You know, the reason why they joined World War II was entirely to fight the Japanese devils and to avenge the attack on Zhenqiu Harbor.
In recent years, it has been either Europe or Russia.
Few people mentioned the Pacific Ocean, and the people have long been dissatisfied. Now even the airport for bombing Tokyo has been suspended because of lack of money. You know, bombing Tokyo is the simplest and most direct wish of the American people. Not to mention that you have given a lot of resources to Britain and Russia, even such a small wish is going to be strangled. How can the people be willing?
In the midst of the uproar in public opinion, Dewey, as Roosevelt's rival, immediately stabbed Roosevelt in the back, accusing the government of the "Europe First" policy through various channels, and accusing Roosevelt of playing with the patriotism of Americans. The United States joined World War II because of Japan's sneak attack on "Pearl Harbor", but the government provided tens of billions of dollars of supplies to Britain and Russia, and even France, which had lost its country, received tens of billions of dollars of supplies, while China, which had fought with Japan for twelve years in Asia, only received tens of millions of dollars of supplies.
Not only that, even the Marines fighting the Japanese devils in the Pacific were using the old-fashioned rifles and the faulty Leixing submachine guns from the last war, because Europe was first. As a result, the US troops in Britain basked in the sun with semi-automatic rifles, and the Marines in the Pacific fought desperately with the Japanese devils with the weapons and jammed submachine guns that their fathers used in the trenches in France.
"British blood is blood, Russian blood is blood, isn't the blood of our boys precious? They shed blood in the Pacific Ocean!"
As a competitor, Dewey stabbed directly at the vital point. At the same time, someone handed him another knife - in the past two years, only 1,000 rifles were actually delivered to China!
The remaining guns were actually detained and not shipped to China!
"I don't care about the victory or defeat in the Chinese battlefield. What I care about is Europe! Only Europe!"
Such naked words in Marshall's telegram caused an uproar in public opinion, because the Chinese battlefield was fought against - the Japanese devils!
So there was a voice of accusation from top to bottom in the United States. It turned out that this is how we fought the Japanese devils. The posters were all propaganda for killing the Japanese devils. As a result, you fucking tell me - you don't care about the Japanese devils at all!
The hard-earned money of the people was thrown to Europe.
Dewey's knife was sharp and the data was detailed. In short, "The White House pursues "Europe First" and has no intention of killing the Japanese devils!"
One knife after another was inserted into the White House and Luo Quezi. Unlike the accusations in the past, this time Dewey really produced real evidence.
"Who stabbed me in the back!"
Although Luo Quezi was extremely angry that Du Wei was able to get the Pentagon's documents, he was no longer angry at this time and could solve the problem.
So much so that he had to throw the Pentagon as a scapegoat, saying that Marshall's opinion was a personal opinion and did not represent the White House. He also explained that the allocation of materials under the Concession Act was calculated by the Pentagon based on the intensity of the war, and tried every means to find excuses for himself.
In response, Dewey naturally refuted that Charles de Gaulle, who was basking in the sun in the UK, did nothing and got more than a billion dollars a year, while China, which was fighting the Japanese devils every day, only got tens of millions of dollars, and only delivered a thousand rifles to China!
Is this fighting the Japanese devils?
It's clearly helping the Japanese devils fight their own allies!
Not only did they withhold supplies from China, but last year they even directly transferred a large amount of supplies to North Africa.
Dewey's sharp attack made Roosevelt exhausted. In order to calm public opinion, he used the Pentagon as a scapegoat and ordered the replacement of the chief of staff of the theater. He even directly sent the supplies originally intended for aiding Britain and Russia to India, and told the Americans through a press conference that we transported another 1,000 tons of supplies to Kunming and Chengdu through the Hump Route today!
Of course, they would not say that half of those supplies were transported by Chinese people! They used Italian pilots, and the supplies transported were not American supplies.
They just told everyone that they were aiding China.
As for the suspension of the construction of the airport, that was even more untrue. It was not that the money was spent in Europe, but a problem of communication between the two sides.
Soon, under Roosevelt's direct intervention, the gold loan agreement was finally implemented, and even turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The United States promised to provide no less than $1.5 billion in aid to support China's war of resistance in 1944, and guaranteed that $1.5 billion in materials would be shipped to China, unlike in the past, when it was considered aid to China when it was shipped to India.
That is, when American public opinion was in an uproar and Roosevelt and Dewey were arguing over the topic of "Europe First", news of the "Great Victory in Central Henan" came from Asia.
"... Hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Japanese troops in central Henan fought fiercely with nearly 200,000 Japanese troops for more than 30 days, and finally defeated the Japanese army's attempt to open up the Pinghan Railway. The enemy in front was caught in the general attack of the Chinese and Japanese troops on the evening of the 30th. ... In this battle, the Japanese army suffered more than 30,000 casualties, lost more than 240 tanks and more than 150 cannons... This is an unprecedented victory in China's war of resistance..."
Looking at the news in the newspaper, George seemed particularly calm. All this was both expected and unexpected. It was expected because there was an example in another world - just a few months after the disastrous defeat in Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, the Chinese and Japanese troops launched the "Xiangxi Campaign". At that time, the Yunnan-Burma Highway was opened, and a large amount of American aid materials were imported into China, so that the army's equipment could be updated and its combat effectiveness could be enhanced. This led to the later "Xiangxi Victory". The subsequent counterattack also proved that as long as there were sufficient ammunition and supplies, the Chinese could defeat the Japanese army.
As long as there were ammunition and supplies... the patriotism and passion of the Chinese were enough to defeat the Japanese devils. Because the Chinese have survived for seven years with their flesh and blood!
In the past three months, as many as 70,000 tons of supplies have been delivered to the country, which is more than ten times the amount of supplies delivered during the same period in history. The troops that were originally seriously short of weapons and ammunition have been replenished, and the previous defeat has turned into a great victory. Although the casualties are still tragic, it is at least a tragic victory, but a tragic victory is also a victory!
"This is the real change, right?"
For the first time, George found that he had changed the course of history by his own strength. Although it was only a victory in a battle, he did change a lot.
"Well, the war of resistance may be easier in the future."
This Japanese offensive was the largest offensive since the Meiji Restoration. Their defeat also meant that the Japanese army lost its offensive advantage on the mainland, and the initiative of the war in the future would not be in their hands.
Thinking of this, George couldn't help but smile. This smile was from the heart, and the smile was very bright, because this was the first step to bury the small life.
After sighing, George cast his eyes into the distance. Standing on the Empire State Building, he gazed at Manhattan and the skyscrapers around him. This was the most prosperous metropolis in the 20th century.
Although prosperous, it did not belong to him. However, on the other side of the ocean, there was a piece of land waiting for its owner to return.
Thinking of this, George's lips curled up slightly, and he even whistled softly in pride, talking to himself.
"Give me 20 years, and I will give you a miraculous Borneo!"
At this moment, his ambition was no longer North Borneo, but the whole Borneo!
After all, people's ambitions will always expand!
