"What?"
Grace was stunned and looked at the man in confusion.
George ignored the girl and turned to walk towards the roulette table. Grace followed him.
When she arrived at the table, she saw the man staring at the roulette wheel, as if calculating something. After the others had gambled several rounds, he said.
"Bet on the corners."
"What?"
"Bet on the corners."
Grace looked at the corners and bet on a few chips.
When the dealer turned the beads, everything was as expected. Really... won!
When the dealer pushed the winning chips over, Grace hadn't reacted yet.
She looked at the man in surprise and said.
"This, I won?"
"Soulless gambling..."
After that, George turned and left, leaving the woman a little confused.
Looking at the man leaving, Grace's blue eyes widened, and she murmured as she looked at the man's background.
"He just left like that..."
He didn't even ask my name!
Looking at the figure that had already gone away, Grace had only one thought in her mind - doubting her life!
No, wasn't he looking at her just now?
His eyes weren't on her... Looking down at the bulge between her V-neck, her confidence was hit again.
"This stinky man... He was just looking at my necklace!"
Just at this moment, another blonde woman came to her side and asked.
"How is it, Grace, are you having fun?"
If George was here at this time, he would definitely say - what a coincidence, the blonde beauty who came was none other than the woman he had passed by in Havana and was given a girlfriend on the train to Washington.
After leaving the VIP room of the casino, Peggy went to the lobby to find her sister, and happened to see her sister standing at the door, pouting angrily.
After looking at the entrance with some resentment, her eyes fell on her sister's neck, and then Grace said
"Sister, tell me, between me and diamonds, what would a man choose?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Peggy laugh.
"Haha, Grace, my sister, any man knows that choosing you is equivalent to owning diamonds. Do you still need to ask this question?"
Peggy said while holding her sister's hand.
"When I got married last year, my father gave me a dowry of one million dollars. Since then, everyone has called us "the million-dollar baby of the Kelly family". Honey, why do you ask such a question?"
Their father, Jack Kelly, was a three-time Olympic gold medalist. He started a business with a loan of 7,000 US dollars and eventually built a construction company worth tens of millions of assets. As a multimillionaire, he never stingy with his children. A dowry of one million US dollars is definitely a big deal in the United States today. This also made Peggy on the headlines and gave them the nickname "million-dollar baby".
"I..."
Grace looked at the entrance of the casino and said with some resentment.
"I was just saying it casually."
Peggy was stunned by her sister's resentful eyes. She looked at her little sister with a smile and said.
"Grace, have you met a man who makes your heart beat?"
Heart beat?
Hearing this, Grace's eyes widened and she waved her hands repeatedly.
"How is it possible? It's impossible. How can I be attracted to him?"
"Him?"
Instantly, the smile on Peggy's face became thicker, and the woman's gossip immediately surged into her heart.
"Who is he? Tell me, Grace, dear... Tell me what kind of person he is..."
"How could he be..."
"You just said it..."
When the two sisters were laughing and making noise at the entrance of the casino, George, who had returned to the room, had no idea how much of a blow he had caused to others, which made them doubt their lives.
At this time, he was holding a telegram in his hand, which was sent by the hotel front desk.
Although the content of the telegram was very simple, George was a little uneasy in the face of this telegram with only a few words.
"Want to go to Tokyo?"
The telegram was sent by Truman. What did this telegram mean?
Looking at the telegram in his hand, George couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Go to Tokyo!
It must be to bomb Tokyo!
In fact, just as in history, the B29 fleet flew from the airport in Chengdu to the Japanese mainland in June and bombed Kyushu. After all, the airport was paid for by the United States - $400 million.
In history, China advanced more than 50 billion French francs to the United States during the Anti-Japanese War. After the war, the United States kept delaying and refusing to settle the accounts with various excuses. In 1946, it had to settle the accounts with the severely devalued currency. Finally, it used the surplus materials on the Pacific islands worth more than hundreds of millions of dollars to settle the accounts like beggars.
This time, in order to calm public opinion, Roosevelt, who was "backstabbed", personally issued a presidential order to ask the Ministry of Finance to settle the advance payments. After the calculation, it was simply heartbreaking. From July 1943 to May 1944, including the purchase of tungsten and other materials by the United States, as well as the military expenses of the US military in China and the construction of airports, China advanced as much as 45 billion yuan! Equivalent to 2.25 billion US dollars, while at the same time, China actually received less than 200 million US dollars in materials from the United States.
Public opinion was immediately ignited. Previously, it was just Dewey's one-sided statement, but now it was written in black and white. It turned out that this was the way the White House fought the Japanese devils - draining the wealth of China that was fighting Japan, and then using it to aid the British and Russians.
Faced with the public's accusations, Roosevelt quickly instructed the Ministry of Finance to settle the advance immediately and required that the advance be paid monthly in the future.
This was also a good thing. At least the hard-earned money of the Chinese people was not withdrawn by the so-called ally. With more than 2 billion US dollars in hard currency, the country was able to recover the over-issued currency from the market, thereby ensuring the stability of the currency value.
The largest single expenditure of that money was the 400 million US dollars spent on building the airport. Since so much money was spent, there must be a response. So, as in history, dozens of B29s set off from Chengdu and bombed the Japanese mainland.
Two years later, the report of the bombing of the Japanese mainland again immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the Americans, and finally let Roosevelt barely pass. But... Roosevelt wanted to defeat Dewey and enter the White House for the fourth time, so he had to do something big!
What was his big thing?
It was to bomb Tokyo. Ever since he showed Roosevelt and others aerial refueling in the movie screening room of the White House that day and told them that Tokyo could be bombed through aerial refueling, Roosevelt became interested in this matter. After all, the bombers taking off from Chengdu could not fly to Tokyo, and what the Americans wanted to see was... Tokyo being razed to the ground!
Truman's telegram was obviously telling him that they were ready!
