"And the Soviets knew that Patton wanted to be transferred to the Pacific "

That may be after it became apparent that we did not have the resolve to stop the Russian invasion of eastern europe.

But he lobbied heavily to stand firm against the Russians but was denied.

Apparently you do not know the dispositions of forces in Europe at the end of WWII. There was no way we could have forced the Soviets back no competent military analyst would back up that wet dream. Patton would not have been up against any lightweight in Zukov either. Such speculation is beyond silly.
