Chapter 61, The Anger of the Great Commander (Part 2)
In fact, if we examine it further, the explanation of the so-called "Russians selling kidneys to aid Japan" has more to ponder.
For example, even if Stalin could make the Soviet arsenal produce Japanese weapons and ammunition according to the drawing process of Japanese engineers. But those "little things" such as tanks and planes are nothing more than that. What about the suddenly extra Yamato-class battleships? In Vladivostok, which is frozen for half the year every year, there would be no giant shipyard that is technologically advanced enough to build seven or eight Yamato ships at the same time, right?
If the ships were built in the industrial cities in Europe, not to mention that the Soviet Union's own Red Navy does not seem to have such a large tonnage of giant battleships, even if they can be built, then how can these giant ships be used by no one? Under such circumstances, how about repeating the route of Tsarist Russia’s Second Pacific Fleet, traveling all the way from the Baltic Sea or the Black Sea to the Japanese Archipelago on the other side of the world to join the war? Don’t forget, this is a war period when relations between various countries are highly tense. With such an obvious fleet movement, the US and British intelligence agencies will not turn a blind eye no matter how much they neglect their duties, right?
——Unless the intelligence agencies of the United States and the United Kingdom have been completely infiltrated by the Soviets and turned into the semicolon of the Communist International, or they are purely signs of defrauding funds and spending too much money, with amateur novelists sitting in the office making up intelligence from top to bottom. , otherwise it would be impossible not to discover such an obvious thing.
However, now that the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies have gone rogue to kill this one, Truman, who was born with insufficient power, could only choke and roll his eyes.
——Whether you believe it or not, they all believe it anyway. So what can you do as a president with no background and no background who came to power by making money from dead people?
(Truman did not come to power through election, but was appointed as Vice President by Roosevelt as a prop to balance the cabinet. Truman had only met Roosevelt twice before. As a result, Roosevelt died suddenly during his term less than half a year after being elected for the fourth time. , so the presidential throne went to Truman)

Of course, roll your eyes and roll your eyes. Regarding the increasingly eroding war situation in East Asia, we still need to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.
So, after rolling his eyes and showing off for a while, President Truman had no choice but to continue discussing the war with Chief of Staff Marshall.
In general, the entire Western Pacific war situation led by the United States is currently in an embarrassing decline. The unlucky King's Division of the United States of America was not only defeated on the main battlefield in the Japanese archipelago, but also on several other secondary battlefields. Recently, there has been a series of bad news, which makes people scratch their heads.
First of all, after holding on to Seoul tenaciously for half a year with a small amount of sporadic assistance provided by the U.S. Pacific Fleet, facing an overwhelming siege by the North Korean Bolsheviks, the ragtag group of Park Chung-hee, Rhee Syngman, and Kim Koo came to power in the old city. The "Government of the Republic of Korea" established in Seoul, the royal capital, was finally defeated and destroyed last month, and the Korean Peninsula was basically dyed red.
Although Mr. Park Chung-hee, the self-proclaimed generalissimo, was not killed or captured in Seoul, but successfully broke out of the encirclement with a group of cronies and continued to incite the gentry and capitalists to launch an armed rebellion, but no matter how you look at it, it is just a desperate struggle. , I guess it won’t last long.
However, the United States has long expected the ultimate failure of the "freedom camp" on the Korean Peninsula: after all, the Korean Peninsula directly borders the Soviet Far East on land, and the red camp has provided a steady stream of human and material assistance to the Korean Bolsheviks. Absolutely. And before Japan has been conquered, the United States wants to send something to the "Government of the Republic of Korea". This is really more difficult than having transport planes carry aid supplies for Chairman Chiang Kai-shek to fly over the Himalayas on the "Hump Route". Much more difficult and dangerous - throughout the Korean Civil War, the United States dispatched a total of sixteen cargo ships loaded with arms and fuel to smuggle aid supplies to the "Republic of Korea Government" of Park Chung-hee, Rhee Syngman, and Kim Koo. But only nine cargo ships successfully arrived at North Korea's Incheon Port or Gunsan Port, and the rest were sunk by the Japanese or Soviet navy midway. Even among the nine cargo ships that successfully arrived in North Korea, one was blown up on the dock by enemy planes, three were sunk on the way back, and only five were able to escape completely.
Therefore, President Truman and the Pentagon generals treated the "Government of the Republic of Korea" as a waste of time, and did not expect it to survive the red torrent sweeping across Northeast Asia. These North Korean sticks have been able to struggle all the way up to now with such scarce aid, and will even continue to cause trouble for the Soviet Union for some time to come. This is far worth the price of admission.
Then, on the more important battlefield in China, the arrogant Chairman Chiang and his Nationalist Government were still unable to build a wall. Each front was defeated one after another, and all the land north of the Yangtze River had been lost. , only a few provinces along the southeastern coast remain in the territory south of the Yangtze River. On the other hand, the Chinese Red Army successfully stabilized the chaotic situation in Manchuria and incorporated this heavy industrial production base left by the Japanese into its own system, thus greatly enhancing their originally weak logistical support and continuous combat capabilities, giving them a strategic advantage becomes more obvious. Its vanguard troops heading south have swept through the four provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Guangxi, and are currently engaged in a fierce battle with Chairman Chiang's government troops in Guangzhou.
In order to save this unlucky ally, the U.S. military has done its best to squeeze out various military supplies from Pearl Harbor and the Japanese front line where the fierce fighting is going on, and transport them ship after ship to various ports in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong. , providing logistical supplies for Chairman Chiang’s useless army. General Stilwell was even asked to lead a 5,000-man volunteer force composed of Americans and Canadians to directly join the bloody offensive and defensive battle in Guangzhou City.
If Stalin was really "selling his kidneys to aid Japan," then Truman was almost at the point of "selling his kidneys to aid Chiang Kai-shek."
——There is no other way. Although the White House has long known that Chairman Chiang's younger brother is incompetent, disobedient, and a cheater, in order to stop the fierce red trend sweeping the world, they can only pinch their noses and accept their fate. They also have to work hard to transfuse and wipe his blood. Butt... Otherwise, once the whole of China changes color completely and the socialist camp increases its population equivalent to that of the entire Europe, the situation in East Asia will be even more unimaginable... Looking around the entire East Asia, only the US military in the Philippine battlefield has good news. General MacArthur, who had escaped from danger, finally realized his shame and became brave again. With only three divisions and combined with the pro-American armed forces of the Philippines, he successfully regained the capital Manila and then controlled all the major areas of Luzon Island. The port city reestablished a pro-American government of the Republic of the Philippines. However, although the "Hook" red guerrillas of the Communist Party of the Philippines suffered heavy losses, they still entrenched themselves in the inland mountainous areas of Luzon Island and continued to resist stubbornly with Baguio as their base. There is also Mindanao in the southern Philippines, which is also home to a variety of national rebel armies and religious armed forces. If the US military wants to truly wipe out the entire Philippines, it will have to invest a lot more capital.
