The extremely brutal battle to land on the island was turned into a game of whack-a-mole by Gao Jianwu.
The Allies did not expect that the war could become so interesting. They soon felt like falling in love with this kind of game. The morale that was originally affected by the tragic capture of the island suddenly improved.
Start rushing to conquer the remaining islands!
Such a change made General Mike dumbfounded. What is going on? !
The number of casualties is plummeting, morale is getting higher and higher with each fight, and except for the sharp increase in the consumption of shells and explosives, there are almost no other problems!
This makes General Mike's previous tactical arrangements stupid.
More importantly, rumors began to spread among the Allied forces that if he had not insisted on not agreeing to the deal with Gao Jianwu, all this would have happened long ago, and the Allied forces would have suffered tens of thousands fewer casualties.
More than 10,000 people were killed by General Mike! The Allied forces originally thought that there was nothing wrong with the previous war, and that all this could have been avoided once contacted, but it was abruptly ruined by General Mike.
Then this matter cannot be tolerated.
The relatives and friends of more than 10,000 people began to turn their sorrow into anger and transferred it to General Mike.
As a result, General Mike's reputation among the Allied forces suddenly collapsed.
When the subordinates of the big-headed soldier saw him, they naturally did not dare to say anything, but the generals did not have too many scruples. They would not discuss the matter in front of General Mike, but each of them had their own bases, and some started Colleagues at the headquarters started chatting about this incident.
General Smith, who originally stayed at Gao Jianwu's staff headquarters, accidentally mentioned this matter when he contacted his colleagues one day, which made Smith understand that such a situation still existed in the army.
All of a sudden, General Smith's mind started to work.
General Smith followed General Steven, so he naturally has a factional foundation. I remembered that Gao Jianwu also had something to do with the White House. When he was opening an aviation industry company in America, General Smith heard that Gao Jianwu and a man named Situ from North America were opening the door to the White House's deputy.
Is this an opportunity?
...
"Gao, you have your own business in America and have a very good relationship with the Huabang, and the Huabang has an excellent relationship with the big guys in the White House. I wonder if you can do us a favor?"
General Smith thought for a long time and felt that there seemed to be a slight chance in this matter. So when General Smith returned to Gao Jianwu's headquarters, he found Gao Jianwu alone and talked to Gao Jianwu straight to the point to prepare for the operation.
"John, what's wrong? Do you want to upgrade again?" Gao Jianwu was a little strange when he heard Smith's topic. After being stunned for a moment, Gao Jianwu replied with a smile.
"No, no, no, it's not me," General Smith shook his head, "I heard that your friend in America is a very capable person. If possible, let's try hard to see if we can take down that guy Mike. , and then send General Steven up. To be honest, everyone can’t stand that old guy Mike. It’s been more than a day or two.”
General Smith did not hide his thoughts about Gao Jianwu at all.
Based on Smith's understanding of Gao Jianwu, there is no need to talk in circles with Gao Jianwu when talking about things. It is best to be straightforward.
When Gao Jianwu heard General Smith's idea, he was so shocked that he almost squirted out a mouthful of water!
Good guy, really good guy!
Smith, this upright boy, seems to be quite honest, but he never thought that he would dare to rebel against his boss!
And he’s really straightforward with himself.
There are quite a lot of stories in the Allied Forces. I am an outsider, but now I have encountered them all.
Not only are there disputes among the mountains within the Allied Forces, there are also many stabs in the back at critical moments. Sure enough, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this is true both at home and abroad.
You see, Smith, who is close to General Steven, has now learned to take the initiative to promote his superiors.
This time I came to Ryukyu to earn some extra money and build two destroyers. Before the matter was over, it might have triggered an internal fight between them?
Gao Jianwu said that he was unjust and a little confused. To be honest, Gao Jianwu didn't understand the whole story at all.
He was even more afraid to rashly agree to intervene in this matter, even though he was unaware of the personnel disputes in the Allied Forces.
"John, this happened so suddenly. Can you tell me what's going on first? Frankly speaking, my friend has some influence in America, but not a big one. If possible, how can we help you connect people? The thing is that there is no big problem, I really can’t guarantee whether it can be done or not.”
"As long as you are willing to help, that's fine. Let's work hard to promote the rest. If we can do it, it will be good. If we can't, there will be no loss for us." General Smith said happily. Gao Jianwu does not reject help. This is a good one. beginning.
"This is what happened..." Smith then slowly told Gao Jianwu the cause and effect of the matter.
Gao Jianwu was a little dumbfounded after hearing this. With his intervention like this, a small-minded Supreme Emperor might be killed by him in advance?
According to the current situation, even if Gao Jianwu does not play politics, he has little knowledge in this regard.
But for a commander who is full of complaints, if a group of people below say that it can't work, if the top management can find a capable person to put the needle and work on it, maybe it can really work.
What's more, General Smith and General Steven were able to get into this situation without a big shot standing behind them.
Thinking of this, Gao Jianwu felt a little shaken in his heart and got involved in this matter.
Maybe it's an opportunity to change major historical events.
Although he was passively involved this time, to put it bluntly, he obviously had a decisive influence on this matter.
If you can participate, you have to make good use of this matter. For the time being, this matter is done well. Let the upper-level Generals Steven and General Smith be connected with Situ and the others. It will obviously be very promising for Situ and their American operations in the future. Beneficial.
But the bigger the matter gets, the less Gao Jianwu can make the decision without authorization. Thinking of this, Gao Jianwu said to Smith.
"John, I am definitely on your side on this matter, but frankly speaking, I am an outsider. Just because my friends are influential in the White House does not mean that I am capable, so I have to discuss it with my friends and listen. They can only answer you after giving their opinions.”
"Gao, I can understand. This matter is not trivial. I also think that this matter is an opportunity. There is no doubt that General Steven has a tendency for you and me. If there is an opportunity to help General Steven, I will I think we will all have more opportunities in the future.”
General Smith became a lieutenant general. Although it was said that he followed Gao Jianwu to gain military exploits, he was not a fool. After all, he had actually climbed to the position of colonel as General Steven's assistant with his own strength in the early days.
These two are secretly planning this matter. Now General Smith has not even communicated with General Steven. In his opinion, he can only discuss this matter with General Steven after he has an idea.
After Gao Jianwu finished his meeting with General Smith, he sorted out his thoughts and then briefly described the incident in a top-secret manner before sending a confidential telegram to the country.
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with the Eighth Route Headquarters. In Gao Jianwu's view, no one knows better than those two gentlemen about doing this kind of thing. They can definitely analyze from a more comprehensive perspective whether they should do this kind of thing. .
At the same time, Gao Jianwu also sorted out a list of several well-known figures involved in these matters, and sent a telegram to Mr. Situ to inquire about their relationships and factions, especially the relationship with the current president of the White House. This group of people almost He is a top figure in the American military and political circles. Now that he is confused, he does not dare to take action rashly.
...
"Full assistance!" The reply from the mainland was simple and clear.
Gao Jianwu suddenly had a clear direction.
In contrast, Mr. Situ's call back was much more detailed.
The relationship between General Steven and General Mike is clearly understood.
After reading this reply, Gao Jianwu suddenly felt confident.
There are a lot of stories in the co-authorship. These two aspects are not ordinary people. No wonder General Smith asked for his help. He valued his relationship with the White House deputy and wanted to have one more person in the evenly matched civil war. Chance to win.
Obviously, for the current White House leader, General Mike and General Maher are both right-hand men. Even though he was stabbed in the back by General Mike once, they are old friends for two generations, and they can easily become friends. It's hard to shake.
If there is no strong third-party influence to break this balance, there is really no good way to shake it.
...
"John, my friend thinks that what you said is very promising." Gao Jianwu met Smith again, "If you need help here, I can ask our friends to contact the deputy White House, and you can act as a bridge to let Maher General and General Steven develop a personal relationship with Harry.
I know it will be difficult to convince General Maher to do this. The relationship between General Maher and the deputy in the White House has not been that strong, and they are somewhat distant.
Not even many heavyweights in your military circles have a personal relationship with Harry.
But I personally think it's time for a change.
It would be best for you, General Steven, and General Maher to strengthen their relationships with the White House deputy alone.
Mr. Harry is a very capable person, and he will be very helpful to the things you are trying to promote now. "Gao Jianwu stopped and said.
After all, the guy in the white house probably won't last long. Although Gao Jianwu doesn't know exactly when, he has the impression that it will be this year.
"Gao, thank you for being so willing to help. We will do what you said seriously. Then we will start to promote this matter." Smith did not expect Gao Jianwu's friends to decide to help him so quickly. Obviously this was because For Gao Jianwu's sake.
Although their backer, General Maher, has a good relationship with the current White House leader, General Mike is not a vegetarian. He has a deep foundation and has connections all over the top. If General Maher is simply asked to arm-wrestle with General Mike, General Maher is really missing. Gotta be able to win against General Mike.
Now that Gao Jianwu's friends can help push it forward, that would be a good thing.
Everyone really doesn't pay attention to Harry in the White House. After all, as we all know, he is a mascot-like existence.
But since Gao Jianwu said this, General Smith also listened to the advice. He had worked with Gao Jianwu for so long and knew that Gao Jianwu never joked when he talked about business.
"Let's work together. This matter doesn't look that easy. If there is something we need to pay attention to, then I suggest that it doesn't involve General Steven in advance. Now John, just keep it secret and promote it. Find someone I will go to Washington when I have the opportunity, and then communicate with Maher and Bai Fangfang respectively, and act accordingly. We cannot make this matter a fuss at the beginning, which is not conducive to the development of the work. We must make this matter a matter of course, so that it will naturally Okay." Since he wanted to help Smith succeed, Gao Jianwu also thought of some details.
"Now, the most important thing is to collect the feedback from colleagues and soldiers and feed it back to the top management truthfully, so that General Maher can do things smoothly."
...
After the two men conspired, sure enough, taking advantage of the gap that had just been taken over Ryukyu, Smith returned home by coordinating bombers to bomb the Japanese mainland through Ryukyu, and began to collect the opinions of the Allied forces that were very unfavorable to General Mike. Return to the country.
Following Gao Jianwu's instructions, he and Mr. Situ visited the deputy of the White House together. The two hit it off and met happily. Harry was naturally very interested in getting close to important figures in the military. As a spare mascot, Harry didn't know The opportunity for a great job will come soon.
In his plan, An Anwen will be a good mascot for this term, and at the same time accumulate good connections in the political, economic and military circles, so that after the current incumbent leaves office, he will have the opportunity to take a chance and see what he can do. Can't get on top.
General Mike's attitude towards Harry was very clear to him. This person would never have a chance to be brought into his camp, or even become an opponent!
Harry had not forgotten that General Mike had just jumped out to compete with them.
If he didn't defeat General Mike and let him achieve great achievements and gain such a great reputation, Harry couldn't guarantee that he would still be able to beat him in future competitions.
If there is a chance, it is better to let this veteran go home to retire. Speaking of which, this veteran is now in his 60s and has gone to his 70s.
Harry naturally began to use all his strength to promote this matter, while General Maher was shocked by some of the feedback brought back by General Smith. He did not expect General Mike to be so unpopular with the military now.
However, General Maher also understood that the old guy Mike really had no sympathy for his subordinates. If he had not strongly opposed this Ryukyu battle and brought Gao Jianwu, the god of war, over earlier, the Allied forces would not have suffered such heavy casualties.
It can be seen that in terms of combat command, General Mike and the Chinese named Gao Jianwu are not at the same level at all. Moreover, General Mike is also stubborn and often ignores the opinions of General Steven and other subordinates.
In the Western Pacific Theater, General Mike can be said to have dominated the sky with one hand, so much so that the people below him are now so explosive and rebounding. Before General Smith returned, General Maher had received some rumors and feedback, but at that time Maher thought it was just some grievances from some subordinates.
The information brought back by General Smith now shows that this is no longer the grievances of individual subordinates, but a sentiment that is gathering throughout the entire theater.
At the critical moment of conquering the small local area, such an abnormal situation occurred. Maher believed that this was not a trivial matter.
