.The situation has come to this point. Even the old racist General Wavell, who has never taken the Asian army seriously, has clearly realized that the pitiful ground forces stationed in Chittagong and the dozen old warships that are far older than the average age of the crew who manipulated them cannot prevent a new round of tragedy. Although the general was still urging the British troops to go south and then south with an astonishing frequency of one or two telegrams an hour. However, from the marching routes and assembly areas he set for his subordinates, it is obvious that he has focused his military deployment on how to curb the expansion of the Japanese Indian Front, which will inevitably increase after opening up the sea route. Of course, how could the British, who are used to being the master, let the Expeditionary Forces go south and go south at such a tense moment?

So, a written document from the Chinese army who was invited to India rushed to Kumila, the southern gate of the Ganges Plain, was airdropped to Lieutenant General Hu Dun who followed the Westward Advance Corps. Cheng Jiaji's answer to Lieutenant General Hu Dun who visited was that according to the relevant details of the same agreement, the obligations of the Westward Advance Corps were limited to assisting in the clearing of Japanese troops and local thugs in the Ailzao area, which exceeded the scope of the agreement. If he did not receive a clear order from Yangon and Chongqing, Cheng Jiaji would definitely not do it.

Faced with the sudden turn of Cheng Jiaji, who had been pursuing the Japanese army in the Central Plains a few days ago, Lieutenant General Hu Dun was slightly surprised and felt relieved. In his opinion, this was just an excuse for greedy Chinese officials to seek bribes. If that were the case, it would be simple. The British had a long tradition of bribing government officials in other countries for national interests, and there was no such hypocritical gentleman who would be ashamed of this.

"General Cheng is a professional soldier. I understand your caution. But I think your unit's diplomatic negotiations with the two countries can be carried out simultaneously. If your army is willing to dispatch immediately, we will not only be responsible for all military expenses. The pensions for the casualties of your army will be paid according to the standards of our local army, and all of this will be paid in gold. Even if the general and your officers under your command, the British Empire will definitely be grateful to the general and the officers under your command." It should be said that if you know the participation of the elite Chinese troops of these divisions, Hu Dun, is still quite generous in whether Britain can continue to maintain its rule in India.

"The British devils are the same again! Isn't it just gold? I have land now, gold! Xiao Ma. Mobile phone novels, do you lack gold? Or, I'll give you a golden statue?" Wen Songyuan sat beside him and whispered to Ma Siyuan beside him. Although Ma Siyuan did not answer his friend's questions in a positive direction, his shy facial expression with a little guilty expression revealed the truth. In fact, now in the Westward Advance Corps, it is not only Wen, but Ma.

The suitcases of senior officers were filled with golden artworks that were pounding kilograms. Even the lower-level officers and soldiers were more or less worried about gold beans and nuggets. There is no way! Who said that in this good place in India, no matter how rich or poor, almost every family has a fine tradition of collecting gold for generations. In order to gain an unforgivable reputation, they entered the treasure mountain and returned empty-handed. Cheng Jiaji could not forgive him! The highest officials are like this, so you can imagine it below.

"General Hu Dun's sincerity touched us. There is still room for flexibility in sending troops." Qian Shen, who had a tacit understanding with Cheng Jiaji, took over the conversation.

This is not the first time Hu Dun and Qian Shen have dealt with each other. Past lessons told Hu Dun that it is difficult for him to gain a little advantage from the Chief of Staff, whose actual power is far beyond the normal scope of power. But at this time, Hu Dun was willing to give up on China's attitude, which seemed to be a great opportunity to relax.

"General Qian, what else do you have to ask? Please tell me." Lieutenant General Hu Dun, who was further extorted by this extremely cunning Chinese general, asked with a gritty question.

"General Hu Dun, isn't your army stationed in the Yidang area with multiple divisions?" Qian Shen's attention to Yidang made Hu Dun's heart unforgettable.

"If there are troops who can replace the garrison in Idgang, you can transfer these 20,000 troops across the west, so as to ensure that Kumila is foolproof without affecting the overall situation!"

"General Qian means that your troops are stationed in Idgang? No! No! No! Gentlemen, this is impossible, General Weiwei will not agree!" Hu Dun, who finally understood the other party's intention, rejected Qian Shen's kindness. Hu Dun's answer was actually not arbitrary. You must know that the Idgang area between Chittagong and Myanmar's Rakhine State and the state of Yan State was a crucial outpost for Britain to prevent the offense of China, a new neighbor. If the Chinese army was allowed to control this area, the Chinese forces could easily penetrate into the hinterland of India. For Britain, the harm was not much smaller than that of being pushed up the Ganges by the Japanese army. Otherwise, as early as the beginning of the Japanese army's large-scale southward, New Delhi would have let this force assist in the defense of Chittagong, and there would be no such crisis now.

"General Hu Dun, please report to New Delhi and London immediately! We have patience. I firmly believe that between getting a strong friendly army and the Japanese army defeated them due to the dispersion of troops, General Weiwei, your government will make a wise choice. Regarding the specific amount of military expenditure and pension, if your country agrees to our plan, Chief of Staff Qian will negotiate with you again. However, since each person takes the needs, he will give you a 10% discount when paying!" While emphasizing the serious gains and losses in this regard, Cheng Jiaji also spares no effort to safeguard the economic interests of his side. Of course, the reason why Cheng Jiaji dares to be so greedy is because the British who have the desire to do so will not be petty about this little money.

"General Cheng, your army will try every means to prevent the Japanese army from entering Myanmar from Idgang. This is not to be said. But how can we believe that your army will launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese army." Hu Dun, who had quickly calmed down, retorted in a daze.

"Please rest assured by Lieutenant General. At this stage, our two sides are undoubtedly needed by each other." The forces penetrated into the hinterland of India." Hu Dun understood the subtext in Qian Shen's words, which is equivalent to exchange. This means that the intensity of the attack on the Japanese Indian front of the Westward Army depends on the air support of the Royal Air Force to the Myanmar battlefield. Although the latter has been clearly stipulated in the agreement with the ancient times, there are any agreements between countries during the war. Just like the private friendship of the heads of state of different countries in peacetime, there are countless profound variables and mystery hidden. But in this way, British pilots are afraid that they will not be able to work overtime without cheering up.

"General Cheng and General Qian, please rest assured. As the general liaison officer of the headquarters of the Indian Army, I will convey the suggestions of the two to New Delhi as soon as possible. As for whether this matter is to be reported to our government, let the general Weiwei decide in the future. Gentlemen, please disturb me." Hu Dun's smile on his face. It's so sincere that people have such an illusion. It seems that this lieutenant general has just received a group of free aid from China on behalf of his motherland.

Looking at Hu Dun who withdrew politely, his body was as straight and upright as when he came. Cheng Jiaji sighed in his heart. He is worthy of being the commander-in-chief of the British and Burmese Army. His outstanding demeanor and cultivation, let alone being unable to say three words to others, Scherwei, who would spit out a gun and dagger from his mouth, could not compare with him. Even among British generals who are very skilled in their shop, is the first. However, a general who should be the favorite of his life on the battlefield, has a standard diplomatic temperament, but it is hard to say that it is a good thing.

"Boss Cheng, will these British guys dance according to the circles we draw?" Wen Songyuan's tone was unconcealedly doubtful.

"Wen Lao Er, you are too worried. That guy in the Central Plains will help us solve this problem." When it comes to the rules of the Central Plains, Wen Songyuan, who has a gloomy personality, became a gloomy mouth-silent gourd. Although the tragic and tortuous battle in the wasteland outside Mandalay ended in panic in the end, the New Twenty Army also suffered no heavy damage since the founding of the army. Especially the New 448th Regiment of the New 152nd Division fought the worst. The regiment, which had 2,600 people before joining the war, had less than 400 people, including the minor wounded people after the war, which was only one step away from the destruction of the entire army. On that day, he endured the Japanese army's great power.

The other regiments of the half-strength New 152nd Division were all lost more than half of their troops. So much so that the second-class main division in the New 20th Army, which was second only to the New 100th Division, has been resting in Mandalay City. The most thought was that it was his mistake in command that led to the defeat in this battle. Wen Songyuan, who was heartbroken, was the death of Ning Jingyu, the chief of staff of the New 152nd Division, who had always admired very much. Over the past few years, one after another, and a large battle of corpses and blood were fought at every turn. Wen Songyuan had already seen life and death very thoroughly, and was even a little indifferent.

But Ning Jingyu is an exception, which is closely related to the unusually tragic and tragic death! The indiscriminate fierce artillery bombardment carried out by the crazy Japanese army, and the hundreds of warriors who blocked the gap at the most critical moment of the battle led by Ning Jingyu were spared. That day, when the sporadic battle was still in progress, the officers and soldiers of the New 152nd Division, who were usually harsh on the army, were crying with stray bullets flying everywhere, shouting and searching for the huge gap. In the end, they only found a chest talisman with half burned half of his name and position.

, coupled with the annual blood debt of Liu Yicheng's troops on the Qin River, how could you not forget Wen Songyuan? But in the New Twenty Army, there were no thousands or hundreds of people! It is no exaggeration to say that since the Battle of Mandalay, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from the New Twenty Army, all of whom had taken Zhong Yuangui and the troops he led were mortal enemies and would have to kill him. There were tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers who were annihilated in the Battle of the Wastelands, but even a severely injured and dying Japanese captured was not born, which is a strong proof of this strong revenge.

Of course, the opposite is true. For thousands of years, in the war between the Easterners, the expression of mutual appreciation between real soldiers has only one way to give the glory of death to the opponent for thousands of years!

"Military seat, attend the seat. There is something unknown. In order to eliminate thousands of remaining enemies, the New 28th Division, the Japanese Peace Army, two very combat-effective troops, were left in Ailzao. What is the secret of this?" Speaking of this, Liu Zutang looked at Cheng Jiaji's face. Seeing that there was no obvious displeasure on his face, Fang continued: "Military is mainly worried. With the three infantry divisions that have not been supplemented with the new 20th Army, one cavalry brigade, and two divisions in each sense, they are actually powerful and only more than eight thousand Burmese security forces. I want to complete the arduous task of consolidating our facts in the Idgang area, and cooperating with the British army to remove the poisonous fangs that the Japanese placed behind Myanmar, isn't the power too thin?"

The faint sense of alienation that Liu Zutang inadvertently revealed in his words made Cheng Jiaji frown slightly. To be honest, for a large number of genuine officers from the Central Army represented by Liu Zutang, who was promoted by himself (Ma Siyuan, Zheng Chong and other old men who have been independent for a long time are not listed here). He just regards the New Twenty Army as a springboard for rapid promotion, and he is as insightful as to see the fire. However, the troops have been expanding step by step in the war in recent years.

The officers who have received regular and systematic professional training are always in a state of shortage of supply, but they can only be both useful and defensive to these people. Of course, the necessity that must be caused by internal cleaning is also one of the important reasons why Cheng Jiaji tolerate these people. After all, today's New Twenty Army is not only in that respect, but only four or five thousand men were independent of one hundred brigades. The bigger the stall, the more places they are afraid of!

"Teacher Liu, Ailzao and Idgang are to become barriers to protect Myanmar. Whether it is the Japanese or anyone else, they have to attack Myanmar under our control, they must seize these two regions. This is a top secret. If there is any leakage, they should be engaged in it according to military law." The idea explained by Qian Shen is exactly the two-headed snake plan formulated by Cheng Jiaji. In fact, he only said half of his words. To put it completely, the function of this two-headed snake is undoubtedly both offensive and defensive.

Liu Zutang, who knew that Cheng Jiaji could always intervene in the highest level of strategic decisions, immediately regretted his talkative words!
