Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 548 Attitude
Stilwell took a look at the telegram at the headquarters, smiled disdainfully and threw it aside.

Wilson must have suffered something good to speak up for the Chinese people. He seems to have forgotten how the Chinese army ran away when they saw the devils on the domestic battlefield!

The most extreme situation is that a few ghost cavalry can occupy a city. With such an experience, do you still hope to make him have confidence in the Chinese army?

What about the relationship of interest.

Don't devils have any interests in fighting in China?

Isn't it a life and death war?

Wilson didn't even think about it, the Chinese army couldn't resist the devil's attack in their own country, so how could they fight the enemy for a road here?

On the contrary, it is the army that the sun never sets, they blocked Hans' attack in Africa, and there is a huge human and material base in Asana, there is no reason not to believe that the sun never sets but the Chinese army.

Just then, General Alexander, Commander of the Never Set Sun, walked into Stilwell's office.

"Joe!" Alexander spread out a map in front of Stilwell, pointed to one of the lines and said, "This is my battle plan. I plan to use this railway line as the boundary. The east of the railway will be defended by the Chinese army. The west is defended by the army on which the sun never sets, plans to retreat to the second-line area in an orderly manner, and then encircle and annihilate the enemy, what do you think?"

Stilwell couldn't help but move when he heard this plan, and remembered the last telegram from Wilson: "Let the sun never set and the Chinese army station a single line of defense instead of coordinating left and right."

Why not try it?
With a thought in mind, Stilwell pretended to look at the map, and then said: "Harold, I have a doubt, why do you want to cooperate with the Chinese army to defend left and right instead of front and back? You have always looked down on the Chinese army If you think that their combat effectiveness is poor and their morale is low, why do you still feel relieved to hand over the flanks to the Chinese army?"

"Oh, Joe!" Alexander laughed: "If it is a front and rear defense, it means that we have to show our back and safety in front of the Chinese people, and I have no confidence!"

Stilwell didn't smile, he looked up at Alexander with a straight face, and said seriously: "Are you kidding? You suspect that your friendly forces will be against you, so they shouldn't be allowed to cooperate with you in fighting."

Alexander was a little embarrassed by these words, and just about to explain, Stilwell interrupted him again.

"There is a saying in Huaxia, 'you don't have to be suspicious of someone who is suspicious'!" Stilwell said: "This means that if we plan to cooperate with it, we should not be suspicious of it, it will only be a bad thing. What's more, I don't think there is any difference between showing your back in front of them and showing your flanks in front of them!"

There's nothing wrong with that.

If the Huaxia army would attack the army on which the sun never sets, there would be almost no difference between attacking from the flanks and attacking from the back.

What's more, the Huaxia Army has no reason to do so.

"I know, I know!" Alexander replied: "It's just a joke! I just think that handing over the east to the Huaxia army for defense is closer to China, which is more beneficial to their supplies and reinforcements!"

There is some truth to this statement, because Huaxia's supply line is to the east.

But Stilwell immediately denied Alexander's statement: "You may have forgotten that whether it is the never-setting sun or the Chinese army, the supplies are all provided by us, and it comes from the west instead of the east. What's more, when the devils don't When we hit the center, all the supplies and reinforcements came from north to south and not from east to west. Do you mean by that, you are planning for the enemy to hit the center?"

Alexander was stunned speechless.

Then Stilwell threw out his thoughts: "I think that although we strive to cooperate with the Chinese army and the Sun Never Sets army to fight against the enemy, there is a gap between the ideal and the reality. If the same line of defense is stationed by two armies, There are likely to be problems in communication and coordination. There are also weaknesses in the strategy. For example, China's combat effectiveness is poor and its equipment is backward. Why doesn't the enemy concentrate its superior forces to attack the defense line of the Huaxia army? If the defense line of the Huaxia army collapses, then the flanks on which the sun never sets would be exposed, does that mean our defenses are pointless?"

Alexander objected: "Then what else can we do, Joe? Let our army fight the enemy in the front, while the Huaxia army watches from the rear?"

Stilwell immediately objected: "When you retreated, didn't you watch from the rear, while the Chinese army was fighting the enemy at the front?"

Stilwell was a little speechless. It was not a good thing for such internal conflicts to arise before the battle started.

Even more surprising to Stilwell, he realized that Wilson might be right.

Stilwell, for all his bitterness, was not stupid.

He knew that if Alexander believed that his army could defeat the enemy and that the Chinese army was just icing on the cake, then he shouldn't have said the phrase "we are fighting the enemy in the front while the Chinese army is watching from behind".

At this time, Alexander should have said confidently, "No problem, let those Chinese people see what war is."

This kind of tone is called confidence, and only the appearance of the most powerful country is the attitude of winning the battle.

What Alexander said now shows that he is completely "preserving strength" mentality, so he is not reconciled to fighting the enemy in the front while the Chinese army is preparing in the rear.

Another way to say "preserve strength" is to give up, run away, or even...

Stilwell didn't dare to think about it anymore, he found that he seemed to have jumped into a deception, he found that he was sent to command a battle that could not be won at all, and he found that he had become a tool that the sun never sets!
In the end, Stilwell also failed to win Alexander.

The reason is that the task of Stilwell, the commander, is not to command operations, but to unite the two forces... Ying Jiang always played such a role in World War II, such as Allied Commander Eisenhower, he also has no combat experience, and his task is not to command Allied forces fight but try to unite all parts, in other words, hold meetings, mobilize, do ideological work, balance the interests of all countries, and so on.

Stilwell had no experience in commanding operations, and he didn't have much say in this aspect, so he could only let it go in the end.

But there is still a difference.

The difference was that Stilwell read Alexander's mind from his attitude, and understood that he had never intended to win the battle from the start.

This is not in the interests of the eagle sauce.

So……

Stilwell thought for a while, then sent a telegram to Wilson, and asked cryptically on the phone: "If what you said is true, what are you going to do?"
