    In Washington, USA, the White House.

    Roosevelt urgently summoned Secretary of State Hull, Army Chief of Staff Marshall, Navy Chief of Staff Stark, and Army and Navy Chief of Staff Leahy to discuss countermeasures.

    "Everyone, I don't need to say more about how dangerous the current situation is."

    ¡°Although the capitulation remarks made by some British media do not represent the attitude of the British government, we should probably pay enough attention to it.¡±

    ¡°Once the military pressure faced by the British government exceeds the final critical point, anything is possible and no situation will be unexpected.¡±

    "There is also the battlefield on the Eastern Front in Europe."

    ¡°The situation of the Soviet Union is already extremely dangerous.¡±

    "Because of the weather, the Soviet army has temporarily stabilized the situation."

    "But when the weather gets warmer next year and the Germans launch another round of offensive, there will probably be a big question mark as to whether the Soviet army can withstand it."

    ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m not being alarmist.¡±

    ¡°With the current situation, it is really possible that the World Anti-Japanese Alliance will collapse across the board!¡±

    ¡°So, we have called everyone here today just for one thing: how the United States should deal with the current severe situation!¡±

    A brief opening statement instantly lowered the temperature in the small conference room. Although the fireplace was burning in the small conference room, the chiefs of staff still felt a bone-chilling chill.

    It¡¯s already chilly in Washington in December.

    After Roosevelt finished speaking, the small conference room fell into a long silence.

    After waiting for several minutes, no one was willing to speak, so Roosevelt could only name him: "Hull?"

    Hull sighed softly and said: "Hegel's dialectics tells us that we must learn to grasp the main contradiction of things."

    "Although the current world situation is extremely serious, among all crises, there is definitely a major crisis."

    "So, as long as we find this main crisis and find a way to solve it, the crises in other battlefields will be easily solved."

    Roosevelt nodded and said: "Then what is the main crisis?"

    Hull said: "It will definitely not be the Australian battlefield, because the Australian battlefield cannot be worse than it is now."

    Army Chief of Staff Marshall then said: "It cannot be the battlefield in Southeast Asia, because the Chinese Expeditionary Force has won the battle of Burma, which is even the only bright spot on the world's anti-Japanese battlefield."

    Leahy, Chief of the General Staff of the Army and Navy, said: "I'm afraid it won't be the Eastern Front battlefield in Europe. Although the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front battlefield in Europe is in a difficult situation, at least until May, there won't be much danger."

    Hull nodded and continued: "Then there are only two directions left, the African battlefield and the Pacific battlefield!"

    Roosevelt said: "Let's talk about the Pacific battlefield first. What should the U.S. Navy do to reverse the unfavorable situation?"

    Chief of Naval Staff Stark said: "Your Excellency, I think our navy should abandon the current refueling tactics and decisively give up sea control in the Pacific."

    "Because the situation now is obvious."

    "Japan has a huge navy with rich combat experience!"

    "They have more than 20 aircraft carriers and hundreds of warships!"

    "Although our U.S. shipbuilding capabilities are strong and can refit and produce more than 50 aircraft carriers within a year, due to our current strategy of continuous investment, each aircraft carrier is put into the Pacific battlefield as soon as it is produced.  The result was that they were quickly wiped out by the Japanese navy."

    ¡°If this continues, it will be difficult for us to take advantage of our strong manufacturing industry.¡±

    ¡°On the contrary, it will only waste valuable human and material resources.¡±

    Roosevelt said: "So your opinion is to abandon the Pacific Ocean first and accumulate strength?"

    "Yes." Stark said, "Wait until you have accumulated enough strength to fight the Japanese Navy, and then launch the Pacific Campaign to regain control of the Pacific Ocean!"

    Roosevelt said: "But have you ever thought about it?"

    "If we completely give up sea control, will the Japanese navy appear on the west coast of the United States and launch attacks on coastal ports such as Los Angeles and San Francisco?"

    ¡°In this way, industrial production in the United States will be severely disrupted.¡±

    "I don't think the problem is big," Stark said, "because the heavy industry of the United States has always been on the east coast, and the Japanese navy wants to invade the west coast of the United States and invade the west coast of the United States.not easy.  "

    ¡°Because there are hundreds of airports on the West Coast of the United States.¡±

    ¡°We have also installed hundreds of radar stations on the West Coast.¡±

    "The Japanese Navy's bomber group will be discovered just a few hundred kilometers away."

    ¡°Then fighter jets from various airports on our West Coast can take off quickly to intercept it.¡±

    "With all due respect, if the battle were to be fought on the west coast of the United States, the Japanese navy's battle losses would far exceed the loss of personnel and material suffered on the west coast of the United States."

    Roosevelt said: "You mean to actually attract the Japanese navy to the west coast, and then use the large fleet of land-based aviation to swamp them, is that right?"

    "Yes, Mr. President," Stark said.

    "Well, that makes sense." Roosevelt turned to the others and asked, "What do you think?"

    Hull and the other two chiefs of staff shrugged and said they had no objection at all.

    "Well, let's settle this matter." Roosevelt said, "The Navy will be responsible."

    After a pause, Roosevelt continued: "Now, let's discuss how to deal with the African battlefield?"

    Leahy, Chief of the General Staff of the Army and Navy, said: "As for the African battlefield, it is meaningless to continue to increase troops to the Alamein region. I think a second battlefield should be opened on the Western Front in Europe."

    Hull shrugged and said: "But Britain firmly does not agree to open a second battlefield in Europe."

    "No matter what they think." Leahy snorted, "From now on, the war should be led by the United States, and should no longer be led by the British Empire."

    Roosevelt waved his hand and said: "No, we still need to take into account the feelings of the British at this time."

    At this time, Army Chief of Staff Marshall suddenly said: "The problem on the African battlefield is not actually that the Allied troops are insufficient, nor that the Allied weapons and equipment are not as sophisticated as the German and Italian coalition forces, but entirely because the Allied forces' combat experience and fighting will are not as good as those of the Allied forces."  The German-Italian forces, or to be more precise, are obviously inferior to the German army!"

    Roosevelt said: "So, what do you want to say?"

    Marshall said: "Your Excellency, what I want to say is that it is useless to send more reinforcements to Africa. Instead, we should send an elite force with rich combat experience and tenacious fighting will, such as the Chinese Expeditionary Force!"

    "Send the Chinese Expeditionary Force to Africa?" Roosevelt frowned, "Will Zhong Yi agree?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
