My own war game

Chapter 222 Their respective ambitions

When the two men came out, Colonel Evans Carlson announced that He Chi was a special person sent by the British allies to assist the US military.

Although He Chi's identity was not directly stated, the colonel asked others in the base to give He Chi the same respect and treatment as he did.

The few surrendered Japanese soldiers were directly assigned to He Chi's management by the colonel, and no other American soldiers were allowed to interfere. Although this caused some dissatisfaction within a small atmosphere, there were only more than 1,000 American troops at the Midway base, and Colonel Carlson was currently the highest-ranking person here. In addition, he had a special warrant from the president, so no one directly stood up to express objection.

That night, the Japanese were in a separate lounge. The soldiers who had been beaten during the day lay dejectedly on their beds, and faint sounds of crying could be heard in the darkness.

Click~ The lights in the room were turned on, and Iida Kojiro, wearing an American lieutenant uniform without a collar, walked in radiantly. Seeing the remaining people, he couldn't help but be furious.
"Baka! Why do you all look so dejected? Where is the decorum of the Japanese people?!" The former private shouted in the tone of an officer.

"Can we traitors really be considered Japanese citizens..." murmured Ikeda, the oldest soldier among them. Already forty years old, he was more attached to his family. He surrendered only because he couldn't bear to leave his toddler daughter at home, but what happened in the cafeteria today had a great impact on him.

They were already traitors to Japan, but the Americans did not trust them either. The road ahead was dark and he could hardly see a future in which he would be reunited with his daughter, Midori.

"Traitors?! Who? Us?! Stop kidding!" Kojiro suddenly became very excited, jumping up and down and shouting, "The reactionary military that fooled the people are the real traitors. They are the ones without a future!" (Kojiro still had some sense and did not take the emperor as a target)

"Everyone, think about it!" Kojiro gestured with exaggerated hands, "The industrial capacity of Britain and the United States is several times that of ours, and their resources are more than ten times that of ours, not to mention other countries that are still resisting fiercely."

Then Kojiro brought up the theory he had heard from He Chi during the day.

"Even though the Japanese army has won temporarily, the United States can lose once, ten times, or even a dozen times, but if Japan suffers a major defeat just once, the situation will take a sharp turn for the worse!"

"Think about it, everyone." The former full-body apprentice put his hands on the table and said in a bewitching tone, "If all Japanese men die in this war, then does the Yamato nation still have a future?!"

At this point, the soldiers who were originally dejected raised their heads, and everyone felt that what Kojiro said made some sense. (In fact, traitors are always looking for excuses for their actions, and Kojiro's words just fit their mentality.)
"Everyone, we are the real patriots. We have a historical mission. We must rescue the Japanese people from the hands of the reactionary military." The way Kojiro waved his fist at this time began to resemble that of a crazy national leader.

"Minasan, when the reactionary military government is overthrown, we will stand beside the victors and return home as heroes."

At this point, the other soldiers' eyes began to light up, but Ikeda's expression suddenly dimmed again. "But the Americans won't trust us either..."

"Who said we should stand by those short-sighted Americans?!" Kojiro sneered and waved his hands again, "We must follow Master He Chi closely!"

"Lord He Chi is a senior overseas official of the British Empire!" Kojiro reported the shocking news.

Then the former private lowered his voice and said, "I just heard a rumor that Lord He is a close minister of the British royal family, the kind who can go to the palace with a sword and shoes! Those minions here can't be compared with Lord He at all."

"You have also seen the adults' abilities. The small Gufeng fell into the adults' hands in the blink of an eye. As long as we follow the adults' footsteps, we will be able to rise to prominence and become the best of the best!"

At this point, Kojiro stood up straight to show the others his new officer uniform, then took out a stack of bills from his pocket and threw them on the table. "See, these are all rewards from Lord He Chi. Although only I got the official position, everyone of you has a share of the bills."

"Look, this is the US dollar, a hard currency that is as valuable as gold, not the military notes issued by the Japanese government that are worse than straw paper!"

"Otani, have you ever seen so much money when you were fishing in Hokkaido before joining the army?!" Kojiro grabbed a handful of banknotes and looked at the young lookout, who shook his head vigorously, his eyes fixed on the cash.

"This is just the beginning. We will have more wealth and a better status in the future! Everyone, follow me, follow His Highness He Chi, and let's seek wealth and honor for the rest of our lives!"

The inflammatory words made the other soldiers' blood boil, and after they put aside the burden of being traitors, the morale of these people reached its highest point in these days.

"Well, if you want to live a good life, we have to behave better in front of the adults. Now we have a great opportunity..."

At the same time, in the U.S. military dormitory, the second lieutenant tore off the gauze on his face and was fiddling with an M1911 pistol viciously.

The door opened and Franklin Roosevelt Jr. walked into the room and sat on the bed nearby.

"John, are you planning to take revenge?" Roosevelt went straight to the point. After all, both families were "scene-makers" in the American political and business circles, and they knew each other too well.

The other party had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Roosevelt sighed and said, "I advise you to give up. The other party is not someone you can afford to offend now."

"Why! Is he Churchill's confidant?! And the son-in-law of the King of England?!" the young lieutenant asked excitedly, his emotions bursting out.

"Well... although it is unconfirmed news, you may be right..." Roosevelt continued to consider

"And even if you seek revenge, you may not get anything good. If the rumors are true, the number of Germans he killed is as high as an entire air force brigade and a reinforced tank battalion."

"It's just a rumor used to fool people." The lieutenant still refused to accept it.

Roosevelt sighed and said, "Well, even if these are all false, the colonel and the senior officers have an important plan that needs his help to execute. No one will let you provoke them at this time."

"what's the plan?"

"Sorry, it's top secret. I can't disclose it to you for the time being." Roosevelt refused and patted the other party on the shoulder. "Don't think too much. Return home safely after completing your service. Politics is the place for people like you and me."

Little Franklin Roosevelt left, and the lieutenant's nails turned white as he gripped the pistol. He groaned softly.
"I, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, hereby swear that I will never be insulted like this again in my life!"
