Chapter 167 Go home, master of Borneo (fourth update, please subscribe)

While the wings of butterflies were flapping in the European continent, Li Yi'an, the instigator, had already returned to New York by plane, and then in Chapter 167, go home. I went to Washington for a while and didn't even return home.

The reason why we were in such a hurry was because of Truman’s urgent telegram.

It’s not because he got promoted.

Luo Laizi is still alive, not dead.

Truman, who was already the Vice President, had to wait a little longer if he wanted to be promoted, but the words in Truman's telegram - "Are you ready to go home?"

Go home!

Where is home in Truman’s telegram?

No need to ask, it must be Borneo!

Can you not be excited to go back to Borneo?

We look forward to the stars and the moon, but we have been looking forward to this day!

The President of the United States lives in the White House. In order to facilitate communication or discussion of state affairs, although the Vice President does not live in the White House, his office is certainly in the White House, only a few rooms away from the President's Oval Office.

When he arrived at the White House again, Truman personally stepped forward to greet him with a smile in the center of the office.

"Ah, Li, we finally meet again, please come in."

In fact, God can testify that he really misses this guy. Because every time I chat with him, I get some inspiration and inspiration.

"Long time no see, Mr. Vice President."

Li Yian smiled and said when the staff behind him closed the door.

"Harry..."

"Sit down first..."

Before Li Yian could speak, Truman made a gesture to him and asked him to sit on the sofa. , this sofa is very comfortable to sit on, and people will sink into the deerskin cushions as soon as they sit on it. Truman walked toward the wall and opened two doors, revealing a wine cabinet.

"How about a drink, Lee? I think we should have some champagne on this day, what do you think?"

"Okay, Harry, then - just some champagne!"

It can be seen that Truman seems very happy.

But why?

It's for him.

Or for him?

No matter what it is for, one thing is certain: Truman is definitely a 100% politician. In the eyes of these people, interests always come before everything else.

However, it is also the operating rules of this world.

Soon, Truman brought the champagne glass and handed Li Yian a glass of wine. After they toasted each other, sipped the champagne and chatted like all old friends reunited after a long separation. Li Yian was still waiting for the conversation to begin. Truman noticed this and glanced at him.

“Actually, in the past few days, I have been thinking about how to send you home!”

Finally, Truman said:

“I have been looking for a suitable opportunity to send you home, but you know that the White House almost never gets involved in specific military deployments, so if you want to get this done, It’s really very difficult. It’s not like a ship. It only takes a phone call. It involves the Pentagon and all other aspects.”

I have to say that Truman is very reliable. Before he left New York last time, he passed the call. While congratulating him on the phone as vice president, he briefly mentioned the Liberty Ship matter. Soon the Material Distribution Committee notified the company that the handover could be handled.

Freedom in Europe can wait, Boss Li’s affairs must be done well!

Is there anyone in the DPRK who can do things easily?

"Thank you, Harry."

"That's what I should do, Lee."

Truman smiled.

“Actually, in the end, you solved the problem by yourself.”

“I solved the problem by myself?”

Li Yian was puzzled.

"Yes, just rely on yourself, Bastogne!"

Truman said in surprise. "I really didn't expect that you were an outstanding military commander, and that you and your people could persist in the German offensive for so long. You know, I have been paying attention to the situation there and caring about it in those days. Your safety. But in the end you won, and you won beautifully, and because of this, the whole world noticed your victory."

Although I didn't know about it. Nirvana has nothing to do with it, but Li Yian still said politely.

"Harry, you know I'm just luckier than the average person."

"Yes, yes, Lee, you are such a lucky guy."

Truman said with a smile.

“So, someone noticed you and your troops, and this gives you a chance!”

Me and my troops!

Li Yian's brows raised slightly, as if he understood something. The room was very warm, the chairs were very comfortable, and it was pleasant to chat with old friends. With a smile on his face, Li Yian was thinking about the price of going home!

"It seems that I have to pay a price if I go home."

"You are so right, my friend."

Truman is serious said,

"You know, before this, I have told you that only by becoming a participant on the gambling table can you be qualified to enjoy the fruits. Of course, as a participant, you must be There is a price to pay. The world is always fair, but it is worth it.”

When Truman said the word "worth it", he waved his hands to emphasize his tone.

“Now you have an opportunity to be a part of it.”

Truman continued,

“This opportunity is something you created for yourself, and I’m just telling you about it. , it is up to you to decide whether to seize this opportunity, and what I can tell you is that if you refuse, I will still do my best to help you go home in the future."

Truman! How true is the promise?

Li Yian didn't know, but he knew that Truman invited him here just to tell him that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Harry, tell me, what kind of opportunity is it."

"Australia!"

Truman looked at Li Yian and said.

“Now, we have won a comprehensive advantage in the Pacific. MacArthur has landed on Luzon Island. The defeat of the Japanese army in the Philippines is only a matter of time. In order to completely defeat the Japanese army in Southeast Asia, Mike formulated a combat plan. This operational plan was to recover the Dutch East Indies, southern Philippines and northern British Borneo, and eliminate the local Japanese troops, and ultimately use the coastal strongholds in Borneo as a springboard into Indochina and the Malay Peninsula.”

Does this have anything to do with me?

Li Yian couldn't help but feel a little confused.

“But because the main force of the US military will be invested in Japan, the implementation of this plan needs to rely on the Australian Imperial Army. You know, in this war, Australia is our most important in the Pacific Allies, they have been cooperating with the US military from the Guinea Islands to Guadalcanal, but what about the Australians? The Australians are not very interested in this plan, because the Australians joined this war to follow the British. Not interested at all!”

He is indeed very Australian and will always be Britain’s most loyal lackey!

“So, after Mike proposed this combat plan, he was opposed by the top brass of the Imperial Army and Australian politicians. They believed that implementing this plan was meaningless and a waste of soldiers’ lives. The most important thing now is It is to attack the Japanese mainland. As long as the Japanese are defeated on the mainland, Southeast Asia will be defeated without a fight.”

The Australians are right!

"But Mike doesn't think so. Of course, the president also believes that we should liberate Southeast Asia and eliminate the local Japanese. However, this is not important. The important thing is..."

The corners of Truman's mouth rose, and a smile appeared on his face.

“The important thing is that your opportunity has come. Because of the outstanding performance of your Borneo garrison in Bastogne, the Australians have taken your mind. Some generals on the Imperial Army Staff believe that , since it is the liberation of Borneo, it should be carried out by the troops of Borneo, not the Imperial Army, so they made this suggestion to Mike."

"That's it!"

Truman repeated Li Yian's words with a smile. He smiled, stood up, walked to the window, looked out the window, and said.

"Li, this is your opportunity, seize this opportunity, and you can go home! The real way to go home is not to rely on the strength of others, but to rely on your own strength!"
< br>Looking back, Truman stared at Li Yian and said.

"In this way, after the war, no matter what changes occur, no matter whether anyone will promote colonial independence, you will have enough reasons to stand on that land, because you are the liberator of that land ”

"This name does require a price."

Li Yian, who was sitting on the sofa, said that his cup was already empty.

"But...as you said, it is worth it. After all, sometimes justice is really important!"
