my bright sword career

Chapter 675
"Shet!"

Stilwell couldn't help letting out a low curse, he still couldn't accept that a glorious general of the United States of America actually wanted to obey the orders of a Chinese.

"Okay Joseph."

Doolittle patted Stilwell on the shoulder, "You don't have to do this, those young men and I owe General Gao a favor.

It was he who personally sent the plane to rescue all the boys who were scattered everywhere. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid we would have to stay in a foreign country forever. "

"Well, since you are voluntary and have been approved by His Excellency the President, what can I say." Stilwell shrugged.

"By the way, Claire will also lead his Flying Tigers over later. I hope you can cooperate well."

"Claire? The Flying Tigers?"

Doolittle was stunned for a moment. Of course, Doolittle knew about Chennault and his Flying Tigers, but one of them was in the southwestern part of China, and the other was far away in Shanxi. others.

"Yes."

Thinking of Chennault's arrival, Stilwell's smile became even wider. With Chennault's Flying Tigers and such a powerful fleet led by Doolittle, the good days when Japanese planes raged over Burma and China would be over. Gone forever.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao said.

As soon as Chennault was mentioned, the control tower sent someone to report that the Flying Tigers led by Chennault had arrived in Yangon and would land in more than ten minutes.

Then there was a flurry of flying and jumping, and the ground crew desperately began to clean up the tarmac and runway of the airport. All of this must be completed within ten minutes, otherwise Chennault and his Flying Tigers would have to land at the airport. In the rice fields. .

After finally clearing the runway, there was another roar in the sky, and the Flying Tigers led by Chennault arrived.

Fortunately, there were not many Flying Tigers planes coming this time, only more than 20. Even so, when all the Flying Tigers' planes landed, the entire airport was already full of planes.

Looking at the overcrowded airport, Doolittle frowned, and he found Stilwell, "Joseph, Yangon Airport is still too small, and it's too dangerous for so many of our planes to stop here.

If a Japanese plane suddenly launched a sneak attack on us, think about the consequences? "

Stilwell also came back to his senses, looking at the crowded plane in front of him, and thinking of what Dolittle said, he was also startled.

He nodded immediately: "Jimmy, you are right. I will discuss it with General Luo later, and let the engineers build a few more field airfields as soon as possible."

"Hurry up!" Doolittle reminded: "Otherwise, if it is attacked by Japanese planes, the consequences will be disastrous. I can't explain to General Gao either!"

While the two were talking, a middle-aged man with a firm face and a big nose came over, wearing a flight jacket.

He walked up to the two of them, put his legs together, and saluted Stilwell, who was wearing the rank of lieutenant general, and said in a loud voice, "Brigadier General Claire Lee Chennault, captain of the Huaxia Volunteer Flying Tigers, was ordered to report to duty. Commander, please instruct."

"Relax." Stilwell looked at Chennault who was standing upright, nodded in satisfaction, and pointed at Doolittle again.

"Claire, let me introduce you. This is Major General Jimmy Doolittle, who is also the commander of the bombing squadron of the Huaxia Liantai Civilian Flying Corps.

From now on, you will fight side by side together, I hope you can cooperate well. "

Chennault looked at Doolittle and the major general rank on his shoulders, and gave another military salute: "Hello, sir!"

"Hi Claire, I hope we can have a good cooperation!"

After the group exchanged pleasantries, Stilwell introduced Luo Zhuoying, Du Yuming and other generals of the expeditionary army to the two of them.

Afterwards, everyone returned to the headquarters under the escort of the guards.

After the guards brought coffee to everyone, Stilwell walked to the map hanging on the wall first, glanced at everyone, and then said angrily:
"Gentlemen! First of all, let us give warm applause to welcome the arrival of the two generals Chennault and Doolittle. Their arrival also means that the days when the Japanese acted recklessly over Burma will be gone forever!"

"Crash..."

As Stilwell's words fell, there was a burst of warm applause in the headquarters.

Stilwell said again: "In view of the arrival of the two generals Doolittle and Chennault, I think it is necessary for us to readjust the command of the expeditionary force."

Speaking of this, Stilwell paid special attention to a group of Chinese generals, and as expected, he saw a slight change in the expressions of Luo Zhuoying, Du Yuming and others.

But he didn't pay attention to it, but stretched out a finger: "There is an old Chinese saying that a snake can't do without a head. I think this sentence is very reasonable. An army can only have one voice and one commander.

The current command system of the expeditionary force is too chaotic, which is very detrimental to the expeditionary force, so I request to temporarily take over the command of the expeditionary force, do you agree? "

At this time, Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming's expressions were no longer ugly, but angry.

The more than [-] expeditionary troops who went abroad this time are the elite of the national army. How could they hand him over to an American? The chairman was the first to spare them when he found out.

"General Stilwell, I disagree with your proposal." Du Yuming stood up on the spot.

With a straight temper, he said bluntly: "If I remember correctly, you are only the chief of staff of the Huaxia Theater, and Chairman Jiang is the commander-in-chief of the Huaxia Theater.

Moreover, Generalissimo Jiang did not hand over the command of the army to you, so it is impossible for us to agree to your request. "

Luo Zhuoying also said with a sullen face: "General Stilwell, if you want the command of the expeditionary force, it is not impossible. We will send a report to the chairman now. As long as the chairman agrees, I will give you the command right away. "

Chennault and Doolittle watched in amazement. None of them thought that they would see such a scene of grabbing the class and seizing power when they first arrived in Yangon.

Stilwell also did not expect Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming's reaction to be so intense.

As the saying goes, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.

The same... A general who doesn't want to be a leader is not a good general.

As the top leader of the US government in China, Stilwell was of course not reconciled to just playing the role of a transportation captain.

In his view, the food and clothing expenses of more than [-] people in the expeditionary force were all provided by the US government, and it was only natural to listen to their command.

It's just that he is not stupid. He didn't have a single soldier in his hand before, so he naturally didn't speak hard.

But it was different now. With the arrival of Chennault and Doolittle, his strength also skyrocketed, which gave him the confidence to seize power.
