Chapter 424

As Churchill said, "There are no permanent enemies, nor permanent friends, only permanent interests", that is to say, whoever has milk is a mother.

On the Burmese battlefield, the British, as Churchill said, formulated a strategy of "abandoning Burma and keeping India" from the very beginning.The so-called "Sino-British Joint Defense Agreement on the Burma Road" was just an excuse for the British to drag the Chinese army into Burma to cover their retreat in order to delay the Japanese attack.

The same is true of the final result of the first expeditionary force going abroad. The British army was only thinking about quickly withdrawing to India. People are chasing and blocking.

Although the failure of the expeditionary force was not caused solely by the British, and was also mixed with many factors in terms of intelligence, routes, environment, and command, in the final analysis, more than 7 Chinese soldiers were buried in that primitive jungle, which will change forever. no fact.

With this lesson, Lao Jiang has also learned to be smart. While eating "international relief food", he is as steady as an old dog. Do reckless things.

Some time ago, the reason why they agreed to counterattack across the board was due to the pressure exerted by the international alliance and the United States on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was entirely because Liao Mingyu and the others made great strides all the way and drove the Japanese out of the border. When you are in the enemy's army, you must beat the dog in the water.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to blow the horn of counterattack so quickly, but this was a victory that came at an extremely painful price.

But right now, the country has been restored, and the Japanese have also withdrawn. In Myitkyina, five divisions of the Japanese army have been severely damaged, almost annihilating more than 6 people. China has done what should be done and what should not be done, and it is almost reasonable. Take care of your own business.

Stilwell's face became extremely ugly. He knew very well that Southeast Asia would not be able to compete with the Japanese without the Chinese sending troops. No matter how advanced the equipment is, it must be used by someone to turn it into a murderous weapon, otherwise it will be a bunch of Scrap iron, the air force alone cannot regain the lost land.

Liao Mingyu, who also had an ugly face, finally made it to Myanmar. The last thing he wanted to see was to be transferred back to China, so that all the previous efforts would be in vain.

What can I do when I return home?Mixed with the big troops until the end of the Anti-Japanese War in 45, and then was transferred to the north by Lao Jiang to "hand over the bandits"?
Then there are only two paths, either continue to work without any effort, and finally follow the head of state to retreat to the treasure island with regret, or wait for an opportunity to rebel like Meng Fanle, the two endings are basically clear at a glance.

The first one is definitely negative. No matter what, Liao Mingyu can't fight his fellow countrymen with swordsmen, let alone use the weapons produced by the system on his compatriots, otherwise he will have a bad conscience for the rest of his life.As for the second article...then there is some element of gambling in it.

My own identity has been portrayed by the system as being very Kuomintang-like. It is hard to predict what will happen in the future, and decades later... forget it... don't mention it, Liao Mingyu doesn't have the confidence to stand up to the big era by himself. contend.

Therefore, the only way is to stay in Southeast Asia to seek a way out. Only by relying on the advantages of the system to become bigger and stronger can we not be afraid of any external influence, and maybe it can complement New China to resist overseas threats.

The scene changed, and the thrilling meeting was still going on. What Chen Cheng said basically determined the direction of all the troops present. Everyone knew the temper of the narrow-minded head of state. There would definitely be another wave of personnel transfers, and it was almost impossible to be alone.

"Mr. Minister, can I understand that your head of state is planning to abandon Southeast Asia, regardless of the position of allies, and at the same time give up all military aid from the United States?" Stilwell asked with cold eyes.

As the number one person in charge of military aid in Southeast Asia, Stilwell's greatest strength is the right to distribute materials in his hands. This is one of the reasons why the bald head hates him so much. Maybe Smith has given away some rights now, but it still doesn't matter. Affect his confidence to say this.

"No, no, I think you misunderstood. The head of state never said to abandon allies and ignore them. It's just that the war situation in China is becoming more and more unfavorable. You should know that the Japanese are attacking Hunan and Guangxi. China has already One-third of the land fell to the invaders, if you can think from our perspective, maybe you can understand."

"Besides, we Huaxia people in Myanmar have already sacrificed enough. We have done what we should and shouldn't do. Most of the [-] dead souls are still dead! They will never go home for the rest of their lives. And the survivors are war-weary Gao Gao, ask everyone here, which of the soldiers under their command doesn't want to go home, even if they die, they have to die on their own land, right?"

As expected of an old politician, Chen Cheng burst into tears with a rich expression, first with reason and then with emotion, without any falsehood or affectation, and even the officers began to agree with what he said.

"But..."

Just as Stilwell wanted to speak, Chen Cheng stopped him:

"But then again, regarding the matter of international aid... our head of state and the president of your country have already reached a consensus, and it cannot be resolved by others in a few words. One more thing..."

Chen Cheng suddenly put away his smile, and his expression gradually became determined and tough:
"This is Huaxia, and the soldiers of Huaxia are fighting for you. They have paid enough. They have the right and freedom to return to their own country to defend their own land. This is the political idea that you Americans have always advocated, isn't it? ?”

"Yeah, it's almost done, do you know how many people we died in Myanmar!?"

"Do you want the Huaxia people to continue to be your cows and horses, and regain your lost ground for you? What about us?"

For a while, the crowd was furious, and Chen Cheng's words resonated with many Chinese military officers, who began to question and indignantly.

Stilwell was already speechless, and racked his brains but couldn't find any words to refute this eloquent senior Chinese official.

Yes, what they said is true. China has lost more than [-] yuan in the two consecutive battles in Burma, and the battle has been won. Strictly speaking, the primary goal of opening the Burma Road has been completed. There is no reason to ask them do more.

Alas... even Liao Mingyu had to admit that from the standpoint of the nation, what Chen Cheng said was not wrong, the problem was only with the country and the party...

"Report to the minister, no matter what we do in the future, at least solve the current problem first, otherwise the good situation may fall apart..."
