    After being teased or reminded by several women, Qin Wei immediately thought of MacArthur's weakness.  As mentioned before, MacArthur had a common problem among Americans: the hero complex, or the savior complex.  In the original history, this guy commanded the US military to break through Japan's defense line in the Pacific, and eventually led the troops to occupy Japan.  But not long after that, he began to consider the interests of the Japanese people because he saw the difficult life of the Japanese people after the war.  In addition, MacArthur is also a very vindictive person.  According to the original historical trajectory, he was defeated by Masaharu Honma in the Philippines in an extremely clumsy way and almost committed suicide.  The U.S. government did not want such a general to be captured by the Japanese and sent a submarine to pick him up. He refused to do anything and finally put forward the condition that he must preside over the war against the Japanese. As a result, Roosevelt and others were forced to answer  Yun, this led to his later glory.  After he fought back, he killed Masaharu Honma in Manila without waiting for the formal trial to begin.  Apart from these two points, MacArthur also has two great weaknesses: desire for power and desire for expression!  MacArthur has always wanted to be the President of the United States, but unfortunately no matter how he "performed", he could not qualify as a presidential candidate, which made him extremely depressed.  Now, Roosevelt wants him to go to Egypt to "cooperate" with the British This is definitely not in line with MacArthur's wishes.  Because the United States has not yet begun to send troops to Britain on a large scale, MacArthur can only command his 30,000 defeated troops, plus at most the 230,000 British troops in Egypt.  Of course, if they just needed time to wait, MacArthur would certainly not care about such a small amount of time, but the problem was that they were about to attack Libya and seize the Axis powers' oil base.  This was definitely an extremely important battle for the entire war.  MacArthur certainly would not allow himself to play a supporting role in such an important battle.  But he had just lost the battle, and his military strength was only a fraction of others If he didn't play a supporting role, who would play a supporting role?  Even if the US government could help him seize command of the entire campaign, he would still be a supporting role.  But MacArthur now had no choice.  The U.S. government has made up its mind to focus on Europe first and Asia later, and it must obey this grand strategy.  The country needs him to go to the Egyptian site, to show the American presence there, and he must go.  Unless he has a more solid reason to object to all this.  But obviously he didn't.  So Qin Wei decided to give him one.  ¡­ ¡°Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in the Asian Theater of Operations?¡± Upon hearing Qin Wei¡¯s words, MacArthur¡¯s hand trembled and he almost threw the microphone to the ground.  But after all, he is a big shot and has weathered many storms.  He immediately calmed down and said, "General Qin, your joke is not funny." If you want to tease me, find a suitable reason.  Don't you know that you Chinese have always wanted to command the Allied forces in Asia?  At this time, he suddenly said that he would nominate me for this position. Do you think the person named "MacArthur" is a fool, or do you think that there will be no chance to fool me in the future, and you want to seize the time to fool me a few more times?  MacArthur was secretly angry.  But he also clearly felt the beating of his heart.  This made him a little ashamed and a little worriedfor someone in his sixties.  It's easy to have problems with your heart beating so fast.  slow down.  Slow down, slow down "Do I dare to joke about this kind of thing?" Qin Wei's laughter came from the microphone, "General, you don't have to doubt the accuracy of this matter at all. Of course.  , We are just asking you if you are willing to do this. If you are not willing, just pretend that I have said nothing. " But the order I received is to go to Egypt to fight the Italians.  "MacArthur hesitated for a while before speaking slowly.  "How big is Libya?" Qin Wei chuckled, "The Asian battlefield includes the entire Siberia, China, Southeast Asia, and even South Asia, of course. Considering that the United States is currently working hard in Australia to build a defense line to deal with the Japanese, we can expand the scope of the theater again  Expansion, after all, it's all about the Japanese Don't you think so?" "That's true, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with me." This guy is testing me, for sure.  But what's the use of testing these?  MacArthur was so preoccupied with his thoughts that he didn't even pay attention to Wainwright, who looked at him nervously because he heard such a sensitive title as "Commander-in-Chief of Allied Forces in the Asian Theater".  "How big is the area of ??the entire Europe? It's just over 10 million square kilometers." Qin Wei continued, "But the Asian theater we envisioned, or the 'Western Pacific and Indian Ocean theater', has a total area of ??more than 4,000 square kilometers."  How many people are there in Europe? How many people are there in our theater? How many troops will the Allied forces in Europe have now??, nearly eight million!  These forces must take orders from the Asian Theater Command!  " "" Eight million!? MacArthur couldn't help but licked his tongue. Although he knew very well that there was a lot of water in Qin Wei's words, but that was eight million. Even half of it would still be four million.  . What's more, this is only the number of squadrons. If you count it like this "This is not a beautiful era, but for real soldiers, this is a rare era to show their abilities.  "Qin Wei sighed, "General, I believe that since the founding of the United States of America, no one has had the opportunity to command so many soldiers Even the person who will serve as the commander-in-chief of the European Allied Forces in the future will never have the opportunity to lead such a military force.  A huge team.  " "What do you want to say?  "MacArthur didn't understand China, not at all. He came to Guilin to "mediate" because of the occupation of French Indochina by China. Other than that, the China in his impression was just a legendary one.  A country where everyone wore long robes and mandarin jackets with pig tails. But that was just before. After being rescued by the Chinese from the Japanese encirclement in Manila, he "really" saw the Chinese soldiers It can be said that except for the equipment.  They are far inferior to the US military, and their military uniforms are not as handsome as the US soldiers. The Chinese soldiers are no worse than their American soldiers in other aspects. To be honest, the troops he values ??most, based on the quality of their soldiers, are not.  It is much stronger than the US military. For example, the troops we saw on Hainan Island who were training to seize the beach gave him a very iron-blooded feeling. Even during training, their murderous aura was extremely strong, far exceeding that of the troops he led.  All troops. This is why after he saw that army, he immediately ran to Qin Wei to ask for command Who among the generals wouldn't want to command such a strong army?  Paired with American equipment, it's simply But obviously, that unit is also the trump card of the Chinese. After sensing his "ambition", the Chinese even vigilantly dispersed his unit directly to avoid  He made unreasonable demands again, but MacArthur still couldn't forget that troop. He even believed that if he had such a troop in hand when he was in the Philippines, he would definitely not be in the situation he is in today, even if he could not save the Philippines.  , he could retreat calmly instead of being rescued in humiliation like now. Except for the powerful force designated as the 58th Division, he also valued the force that conducted military exercises with his men and was unfortunately defeated.  5th Army. Wainwright told him that the unit was not simple, and he believed in his partner's vision. In this way, the Chinese Army was far from being as bad as the outside world said Think about it, after many years of training by him.  , even the proud troops were quickly defeated under the Japanese attack. The Chinese lacked everything. It is said that even the military uniforms were not neatly put together. The soldiers did not even have bullets for practice shooting, so they could only "train" on the battlefield.  , it is not easy to be able to persist under the attack of the Japanese until now. If the so-called eight million Chinese people have the same quality Although they are still trying to keep their tone calm,  But MacArthur felt that his heart was about to beat out of his chest. ¡°General, we are not convinced!  "Qin Wei sighed again, "So, we hope to compete with you again" "Another competition?  "MacArthur's expression tightened, and a kind of anger at being fooled suddenly emerged. His voice raised several times unconsciously: "So, you are planning to use the position of commander-in-chief of the Asian Allied Forces to seduce me and make me agree to your promise.  ask?  " "There is indeed a reason for this.  Qin Wei smiled, "But this is not comprehensive Our consideration is all-round."  It is actually beneficial to us to have you serve as the supreme commander of this Asian theater, but it just cannot maximize our interests.  But now, because both Britain and the United States are clinging to our small failure in the previous small exercise to make a fuss about it, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, and at the same time, in order to continue to retain the opportunity to fight for the greatest interests, we have proposed this  gambling.  If you win, you may become the general with the most powerful troops and the widest range of war zones in human history. But if you loseafter you arrive in Egypt, you will be even less able to compete with the British for military command.  " "What if I don't agree to your request?  "MacArthur said solemnly. "You will never be able to return to Asia, at least not until the end of the war.  And in this way, you will naturally not be able to regain the Philippines that was lost in your hands.  "Qin Wei replied. "You have many reasons, but they are still not sufficient!  "MacArthur said. "Isn't it sufficient?  We have officially proposed this 'bet' to President Roosevelt I believe that if you refuse, it won't be long before the entire United States will know your choice.  "Qin Wei said with a smile, "I wonder what the citizens of the United States will do when the time comes.How would you evaluate your decision?  " "You are the thickest-skinned guy I have ever seen.  MacArthur sneered: "But what if it is the government, not me personally, who refuses?"  How could the people of America think that I was giving in?  They would all just think that I was a sad soldier who followed orders.  "That's true," Qin Wei nodded, "but will your government refuse?"  "    "they will!  " "They won't.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
