Chapter VII Expedition to Burma Section 1 Sending Troops (6)

It only took more than a month for Kahunzan Yuhai to return to the attendant's room, but now he has this frozen world. He thought that the years in the future would be spent in the remote mountains of Panzhihua. However, he did not expect that a command would completely change his fate and he returned to the core of power. Every day he heard about the fate of millions of people. Every day he saw those high officials and nobles who were gathering high. All these changes were so fast...

When he came back from the office in awe, Chiang Kai-shek made a special trip to meet him. He always remembered what Chiang Kai-shek said to him, "You are a classmate in the first class, my student, you made a mistake. I, as a teacher, should bear half of the responsibility. In recent years, you have suffered a lot and suffered a lot in Panzhihua, but jade cannot be made into a weapon, which will be of great benefit to you in the future."

He didn't remember how he answered at that time. He only remembered that he was crying and didn't know how to repay the principal's love and trust.

The meeting in the conference room has been open for two hours. The British didn't know that they would not give in, and Zhuang Wenge might have been impatient in western Yunnan.

There is also Bai Sitong who has a similar feeling to Xiao Zanyu. Bai Sitong didn't understand why Chiang Kai-shek transferred him to the newly established third place of the attendant room. After Wang Jingwei left, he thought he would be neglected. But he didn't expect that he would become successful. He first returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as the director of the Soviet Department of the Soviet Union and now he was transferred to the third place of the attendant room as the chief clerk. He was responsible for diplomatic affairs.

"We agree that your country will send an army into Myanmar. Wewell, who is responsible for the defense of Mandalay in central Myanmar, was very disdainful. If the British Empire could not stop the Japanese attack, how could the humble Chinese stop it? China just wanted to extend their hands to Myanmar and into the British Empire's pocket.

"How much is the part?" Magrud asked immediately.

"One division, squadron only needs to provide one division. The transportation in the Sino-Myanmar border area is inconvenient and the logistics of too many troops is difficult to support, and one division is enough. In addition, we hope that China can give part of the materials in Yangon to our troops." Weiville said calmly.

He Yingqin couldn't help but snorted. The British were so good at planning. What did a division do in the past? He had to send some American aid to them. He was so beautiful.

"How many troops do your country have in Myanmar?" He Yingqin asked.

"There are two divisions, and we are transferring a tank brigade from the Middle East and two divisions from Australia. In this way, our country has 100,000 people in Myanmar, which is completely enough to block the Japanese army." Weiville said.

"Oh?" He Yingqin smiled coldly: "Since that's the case, why should we send this division there? Since your country can defend Myanmar, we don't need to worry about it.

"There is also the case, Mr. Chairman. What do you think?" Weiville turned to Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek thought for a little while and said: "Based on the information we have received, the Japanese army is attacking a large-scale attack in Cego, Hunan, and we also urgently need materials. We can no longer provide support to you. It is better to do so. We sent an army to take over the defense in northern Myanmar and share part of the responsibility for your country.

"Chairman, we hope that your country will send at least five troops to Myanmar to fight." Magrud hurriedly interrupted: "As far as I know, your country's Forty-ninth Army has been resting in Hubei for a year. We hope that your country will send the most elite troops, not the new troops established by the Internet.

He Yingqin couldn't help but interrupt him: "General Gong Grud, defeating the Japanese invaders is our consistent insistence, and we are willing to enter Myanmar to fight, but" he spread his hands: "General Weiville believes that they can defend Myanmar and do not need us. We respect the British government, so we will not enter Myanmar without their consent.

"General Weiville" Magrud couldn't, so he turned his target to Weiville: "I hope you should consider it carefully and consider it with the honor of soldiers. If Myanmar cannot defend it, how do you explain to your government?"

"It's my thing, Wewell is unmoved: "I believe my team can completely block the Japanese attack."

This is the difference between the British tradition and China, the United States and the Soviet Union. In the Sino-US army, orders are orders and must be executed without any discounts. However, Britain is different, and the superior's orders are more of suggestions. Commanders can consider implementing or not implementing them according to the situation, and the superiors know that there is nothing they can do.

"Myanmar is not just your country's business. Myanmar's gains and losses are related to the development of the Southeast Asian war situation. If the Japanese army occupy Myanmar, they can attack India when they advance westward. They can attack Yunnan when they go north; if Myanmar is in our hands, we can use this to counterattack the Malay Peninsula, or counterattack Thailand and Indochina. Its strategic position is very important. Magrud suppresses his anger. He believes more in the judgment made by Simmons, and the Chinese want to defend Northern Myanmar. In order to preserve his cheap dignity, the British sacrificed the entire Southeast Asian war situation.

Weiville hesitated, and he argued in silence: "Didn't General Magrud just now say that the troops gathered in western Yunnan are all newly established troops? The combat effectiveness of these troops is completely unsure."

"His Excellency Chairman, I received a notice from the Joint Chiefs of Staff that I hope your country can send the Forty-nine Army to fight like Myanmar," said Magrud.

Chiang Kai-shek was very proud in his heart. The reputation of the Forty-Nine Army had risen far to the United States and Britain. The Pacific War broke out to the present. There were many defeats in various places. No strong countries like the United States and Britain achieved a victory. Only China has won several victories against Japan in the past. This is a kind of supreme glory, which makes him proud and proud.

"The Forty-Nine Army has three armies under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of as many as 140,000. It will take at least three months to be transferred to western Yunnan. Will the Japanese give us such a long time?" Before Chiang Kai-shek could answer, He Yingqin first raised the question.

"Air Freight" Magrud proposed a solution without hesitation: "I know that your country once airlifted a division to Jiangsu, and this time it could also airlift a group army to western Yunnan." "Let's do this." Chiang Kai-shek remembered what Zhuang Jihua said, no matter what the British were like, they could not withstand the United States' request in the end, and China still had to send troops to Myanmar, so he did not insist: "It is difficult for the entire group army to airlift to western Yunnan. We have already assembled four armies in western Yunnan, and then airlifted one army to airlift the 103 army to western Yunnan. There are five armies, more than 200,000, and it is enough to defend Myanmar.

"The 103rd Army participated in the Battle of Xuzhou. They defeated the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army in Linyi and were one of the main forces of the Zaoyang counterattack. In the defense of Wuhan, they fought bloody battles in Fujinshan and were one of the most combat-capable armies in our country.

By the way, General Sun Liren, the commander of the 103rd Army, was a Bi of West Point Military Academy in your country, He Yingqin, saw that Magrud was still a little unfair, and Gu Xuan explained that Magrud was a little surprised. He did not expect that there were even generals from West Point Military Academy in the squadron, but He Yingqin was not finished yet: "In addition, General Zhuang Jihua, who commanded this army, graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, and was also admitted to the German school. He once commanded the Nanjing Defense War, Xuzhou Counterattack War, and Zaoyang Counterattack War, and defeated almost all the Japanese generals."

"I have long heard of General Zhuang Jihua's record from Ambassador Jensen. I believe he can command the squadron, defeat the Japanese army, and defend Myanmar." Magrud said: "I understand your country's sincerity, and I will report to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the President."

"General Weiville. The Joint Chiefs of Staff believes that it is difficult to defend Myanmar with your team alone. For this reason, the Joint Chiefs of Staff authorized me to notify you that if Myanmar is lost due to your reasons, we will cancel the 300 tanks, 50,000 carbines and 100 Mustang fighters originally scheduled to be sent to India, and these materials will be transferred to China. In addition, the materials transferred to the Middle East will be reduced by 40%, and these materials will be used on the Chinese battlefield and the Soviet Russian battlefield.

"Magrud used the killer bronze. This was the authorization that the Joint Chiefs of Staff had urgently discussed with Roosevelt yesterday and won for him.

Weiville had to face it. Magrude's warning was very strict. Sixty percent of the British supplies came from the United States. If the United States really did this, the British army would scold him from London to Cairo. If London was to investigate, Weiville could not bear this responsibility.

Weiville finally gave in and agreed to China's dispatch of troops to Myanmar, but asked to put the squadron under the command of the British army and be commanded by Lieutenant General Hu Dun, the commander of the British army in Myanmar. Chiang Kai-shek was about to agree, but He Yingqin raised an objection: "We cannot agree with this request. On the contrary, I think your army should fight under the command of General Zhuang Jihua. In terms of military rank, General Hu Dun is a lieutenant general, but General Zhuang Jihua is a lieutenant general. Lieutenant general commands may only happen in your team. From the resume, General Zhuang defeated the Japanese army three times and eliminated hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops. General Hu Dun may not have fought with the Japanese army. So from that perspective, General Zhuang Jihua should be the commander-in-chief of the coalition."

When He Yingqin spoke, Magrud nodded frequently. It was obvious that the British should be under the command of the Chinese by just relying on their military rank, not to mention that there are still military achievements there.

Weiville couldn't accept it: "This is absolutely not possible. The British army can only be commanded by the generals of Great Britain." "So, General Stilwell is about to arrive." Chiang Kai-shek didn't want to get entangled in this issue. He began to get mixed up with it: "I suggest that General Stilwell be the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar coalition."

This suggestion is temporarily accepted by those attending the meeting. Weiville felt that it was not ashamed. Chiang Kai-shek believed that with Zhuang Jihua's ability, Shi Mawei would definitely do it according to his plan.

After the meeting concluded, Chiang Kai-shek held his waist with his hands. He swung his waist gently. After being injured in Xi'an, his waist could not support him and could not sit upright for a long time.

Seeing this, Soong Mei-ling brought a cushion, placed it behind his waist, and then brought him a cup of warm water. She was also at the venue just now, acting as Chiang Kai-shek's translator.

"There's a result at last." Soong Mei-ling sighed softly: "But, Da Ling, do you feel that the United States attaches more importance to the European battlefield and the supplies given to us are far from the UK and the Soviet Union."

"In their eyes, the European battlefield is more important, and Germany is more important than Japan." Chiang Kai-shek said with a squinted eyes. To be honest, he was very dissatisfied with this result, but he had no choice.

"I want to go to the United States again." Soong Mei-ling said: "I asked Beaton's opinion, and he also thought I should go to the United States again and persuade Roosevelt to strengthen its aid to the Chinese battlefield."

"Please come with Bai Si." Chiang Kai-shek called the guards in and ordered.

After Bai Siran came in, Chiang Kai-shek asked straight to the point: "Do you think your wife should go to the United States now?"

"Yes," Bai Sitong replied: "Last time my wife went to the United States, the isolationist sentiment in the United States was still very high, but now it's different. I think my wife will definitely achieve unprecedented success this time."

Chiang Kai-shek was still very confident in Soong Mei-ling's charm. He was impressed by her charm back then, but the last time Soong Mei-ling visited the United States did not achieve the expected results. What about this time? He was undecided.

"Da Ling, Mr. Bai is right." Soong Mei-ling knew that he was a little moved, but he was still hesitating, so he spoke: "The United States is completely different now than a year ago, not to mention that we have restrained more than one million Japanese troops. President Roosevelt fully understands the importance of the Chinese battlefield. I think my visit to the United States will definitely be successful."

"Okay, you'll be ready." Chiang Kai-shek nodded and agreed, then turned his head to ask Belarus: "I have read your diplomatic analysis of Britain and the United States. It's very good."

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Belarus and his colleagues wrote a memorandum in all aspects. In the memorandum, he analyzed the future diplomatic trends of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, believing that China's international prestige and international status will be greatly improved due to the persistence of the War of Resistance. The allies will recognize the importance of China. Therefore, they proposed to use this war to carry out active diplomacy with the United States, Britain and the Netherlands, and demanded that all unequal treaties signed by various countries and China be abolished, concessions, extraterritorial legal power, Boxer Indemnity, etc. His boldest suggestion was to take advantage of the Soviet Union's plight and demand that the Soviet Union recognize Mongolia as China's territory and return Mongolia to our country after the war ended.

"The abolition of the unequal treaty was the Prime Minister's lifelong wish, but unfortunately it was not realized until his death." Chiang Kai-shek sighed and looked up at the statue of Zhongshan on the wall. In the officialdom of the Republic of China, he was the only one who hung the statue of Zhongshan, and everyone else hung his statue.

"Chairman, now is an opportunity. As long as Roosevelt is convinced, he will come forward to persuade Britain. The matter will be halfway, which is also one of the reasons why I advocate Mrs. visiting the United States." Baisitong said.

"Yeah," Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly, his eyes still stayed on the statue of Zhongshan. Bai Sitong was a little nervous. This was an opportunity to leave a name in history, and he wanted to participate. But he went to the attendant's room and made such a request, which was probably inappropriate.

"You discuss with Wang Chonghui." As soon as Chiang Kai-shek said, Bai Sitong was a little disappointed: "I have formulated a strategy and put it forward to President Roosevelt after his wife goes to the United States."
