"What? Show me!"

Before the secretary and the lady finished speaking, President Roosevelt couldn't wait to catch the telegram and read it at a glance.

"You guys can take a look!"

After reading the message, President Roosevelt immediately handed the message to General Marshall, Secretary Hull, who was full of curiosity and inquisitiveness.

Marshall glanced at it, but found that President Roosevelt looked gloomy and it was hard to see whether he was happy or worried.

Indeed, President Roosevelt is now mixed and can't figure out whether this is good news or bad news for a while.

In recent times, many cities on the west coast of the United States have been attacked by Japanese combined fleets and air force many times. The local American people have caused panic and rumors are everywhere, and it is said that the Japanese army is about to land on the North American continent and will launch a ground war against the United States.

President Roosevelt and the American people who felt the deep pain were indeed very angry and hated. The Japanese really wanted to get the place back immediately.

But it is obvious that anger alone cannot solve the problem. The United States, with strong economic strength, has extremely terrible potential for war, but the current strength of the navy, army, air and military forces is far inferior to that of the Japanese Empire in its heyday.

Needless to say, the Navy is not weak, but it is far from an opponent of the Japanese Joint Fleet, and it also needs to carry out arduous and arduous escort missions.

Most of the army are newly expanded new troops. How can a group of new recruits who have not experienced the war beat Japanese veterans who have experienced many battles?

Moreover, due to the severe economic crisis in the 1930s, the current young generation in the United States generally have poor physical fitness, and a large number of people cannot meet the basic conditions for recruiting soldiers, making it difficult for large-scale recruitment in the United States.

As for the Air Force, there are many combat aircraft and can be continuously supplemented and consumed, but the current mainstream fighter jets in the United States cannot cope with Japanese Zero fighter jets.

Coupled with the serious lack of understanding and understanding of Zero fighters, the US Air Force and the Japanese Air Force were completely at a disadvantage in the battle.

In recent several large-scale air battles, the US Air Force suffered a great loss and lost several times in large scores.

President Roosevelt lost his temper at all, the navy could not defeat it, and the air force was completely at a disadvantage. Faced with the continuous harassment and attrition of the Japanese army, President Roosevelt felt deeply powerless.

If this stalemate continues, not only will the many industrial cities on the West Coast be difficult to operate normally, but the US Air Force will also become weaker and weaker.

Even if the aircraft can be replenished continuously, pilots with rich combat experience cannot produce large-scale products like industrial products!

Japan's large-scale increase in troops to Myanmar is good for the United States that Japan will not land in North America in the short term and will carry out ground combat on the United States.

In this way, the Americans will not have the most deadly direct threat. Even if the port cities and industrial cities on the west coast of the United States are blown up, the Americans can still operate industrial machines at full speed in the hinterland and the east coast with their vast territory and deep industrial foundation.

What Roosevelt was deeply anxious about the two was that Myanmar was no longer the poor and poor Burma before, but an industrial base that was about to rise and a crucial front-line battlefield in Southeast Asia!

The Japanese gathered their superior forces to attack Myanmar this time, and their intentions and determination were very obvious. Myanmar will inevitably suffer unprecedented tests and severe damage.

If one is not done well, not only will the Myanmar war zone collapse completely, but the Chinese Expeditionary Force suffered a catastrophe, but the industrial base built by the US government with great difficulty in manpower, financial and material assistance will also be destroyed, or even fall into the enemy's hands.

In that case, it will undoubtedly be a huge bad news for the Asian battlefield!

"His Excellency President, the matter is extremely serious! We must make a decision as soon as possible!"

Just when President Roosevelt was in a state of uneasy fighting, Marshall said seriously:

"His Excellency the President, although I am willing to believe in the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army and the command ability of General Yang Fan from personal emotions, the reality is cruel!

I am pessimistic about the prospect of the upcoming final battle in Myanmar. Perhaps our aid to northern Myanmar is a bit too hasty."

Hull nodded and said, "The Japanese not only gathered 500,000 most elite army troops, but also mobilized two flight divisions to more than 2,000 combat aircraft, and also had a huge task force!

I really can't think of any way the Chinese army can use to deal with and resolve this crisis. I think we were too optimistic about the situation in Myanmar before!"

"Yes, we have listened to Stilwell's opinions and reports too much, so that our judgment was affected by his remarks!"

Marshall simply turned the blame and said with a sad expression: "I have to say that it was a bad decision to decide to vigorously assist in the construction of a large industrial zone in northern Myanmar. We thought the Japanese too simply and Yang Fan and the Chinese Expeditionary Force too strong."

"Yes, the Japanese are so powerful now!"

Hull sighed weakly!

Recently, a series of bad news on various battlefields and the West Coast of the United States has deeply hit every American's confidence and pride.

The madness, cruelty and strength of the Japanese army have become an indelible nightmare for Americans!

Even a senior official like Marshall and Hull would not be spared, and he was full of deep pessimism and panic about the entire world situation!

“…”

Seeing Marshall and Hull sighing and looking desperate, Roosevelt's face became increasingly ugly!

The machinery, equipment and engineering and technical personnel required for hundreds of aid projects have been sent to Myanmar in batches, and infrastructure projects in Myanmar have also been fully launched.

It’s not just that you can just press the pause button to stop!

"It's really damn! I had known that I should have considered it more carefully, and I shouldn't be so blind and confident!"

After carefully thinking about the past, President Roosevelt had to admit that, as Marshall said, it was indeed a bit too optimistic and hasty to make that decision.

Thinking of this, Roosevelt, who felt that the clay Buddha could not protect himself from crossing the river, was really regretful at this moment!

If he had known that the Japanese would be so crazy and bold, he would have come to the door directly and destroyed more than ten most important port cities and industrial bases on the West Coast.

If he had known that the Japanese army was so powerful and expanded so quickly...

He would not be so happy and generous in his killing, and he would agree to build a northern Myanmar industrial base!

"But fortunately, most of the aid projects in the industrial base in northern Myanmar have just been launched."

Marshall turned his head to look at Roosevelt and said in a deep voice, "Stop at this time, the loss is still affordable. Even if you lose some money, it is much better than losing all your money! Do you need to stop immediately?"
