Shadow Spy

Chapter 399 Three Expeditionary Force Generals

An hour later, at the British-Burmese military headquarters in Ren'anqiang, General Stilwell, Lieutenant General Slim, Lieutenant General Scott, Brigadier General Lores, commander of the British 7th Armored Brigade, and British-Australian Witnessed by Brigadier General Montero, commander of the 63rd Brigade of the Army, and heads of departments of the headquarters, the handover ceremony of command was held...

Hutton resigned and Alvin took up his new post, and the British-Burmese Army entered a new stage.

As soon as the handover ceremony was over, Stilwell, Hutton, and Slim were invited out of the conference room on the grounds that they needed to keep the next battle plan confidential.

This reason made the three of them angry. What is this? Are they being treated as spies?But the situation is stronger than the people, and there is nothing the three of them can do.So, the three of them packed up their things and rushed directly to the airport with their guards.

After saying goodbye at the airport, Hutton and Slim took the special plane that Alvin had taken to fly to India; Stilwell flew directly to Tonggu. He wanted to find Panson and see what his opponent was. What do you think about this matter? ——
This morning, there was something that made Li Junhao happy. Three division commanders of the Fifth Army of the Expeditionary Force, Dai Anlan, Liao Yaoxiang, and Yu Shao, came to visit him.He was very excited to see these three famous anti-Japanese generals.

In the history of his previous life, Dai Anlan died due to war injuries on the way back to China after the expeditionary force was defeated (Barbarian Mountain), Liao Yaoxiang was captured during the three-year war and entered a war criminals class, and Yu Shao was basically idle at home after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. But these three people all have one thing in common, that is, they all performed outstandingly in the Battle of Kunlun Pass and the First Expedition into Myanmar, and made their own contributions to the Anti-Japanese War. This is worthy of respect.

In the command tent, he took out the Anhui scented tea from General Dai Anlan's hometown (Wuwei County, WH City, Anhui Province) (just found it in the inventory of the huge supplies in the portable space not long ago, and he didn't know which British general it was. private collection) entertained the three generals, and also joked that if he had known about the arrival of General Liao (Shaoyang, Hunan) and General Yu (Pingjiang County, YY City, Hunan), he would have prepared Kung Fu Black Tea and Junshan Silver Needles to entertain the guests.

Li Junhao's words moved and surprised the three generals. They thought, this young American general is so powerful. He actually knows their hometown. It seems that being appointed by the U.S. Congress as a Far East observer is not without purpose!Therefore, the slightest contempt in my heart due to my age disappeared.

Just as the three of them were talking happily, Dai Anlan's adjutant came to report that he had just received a report from the Yongkegang Military Airport that a US military plane had arrived. It was said that General Stilwell, the commander of the Allied India-Burma Theater, had arrived. He is coming by car now, saying he wants to see General Panson.

When the three Chinese generals heard this, they thought it was an emergency within the United States, so General Stilwell was coming to see Li Junhao, so they wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, Li Junhao smiled bitterly, continued to pour tea to the three of them, and said: "Generals, let's wait for the arrival of General Stilwell! I think this matter has something to do with the situation in the India-Burma war zone." In his mind My guess is that the British army must have caused trouble again!
Although the three generals did not understand why he said this, they still stayed, not without the purpose of judging the strategic vision of the young American general.

Ten minutes later, Stilwell arrived. He quickly jumped out of the jeep. When he saw the four people coming out of the door, he immediately laughed and took two steps forward. He hugged Li Junhao and said happily: "Oger, okay. My friend, I finally see you!"

Li Junhao laughed and hugged him, and said, "Joseph, how are you doing as commander? Are you popular with the British?"

After letting go of his hand, Stilwell patted Li Junhao's shoulder again and said with emotion: "It's not all your fault for pushing me to this position. I am just a leisurely observer. Come and take up my post as soon as possible. I I really can’t stand it anymore!”

"Haha! That's easy. Let's talk about this later." Kerry patted him on the shoulder and signaled that there were three more Chinese generals waiting!
The three division commanders of the expeditionary force were extremely surprised at this time. They had met Stilwell several times before and after entering Myanmar and knew his identity, but they did not expect that he was so familiar with the American observers!
At this time, the Chinese translator next to them briefly told them the content of the conversation between the two American generals, and they suddenly realized that this young American general was much more than an observer.

Stilwell and the three men exchanged military salutes and said in fluent Chinese: "General Dai, General Liao, and General Yu, hello! We meet again. How is the uniform change of the troops?" The three expeditionary force members The major general stood at attention and returned the greeting: "Hello, General Stilwell, welcome to Tonggu. The troops have been redressed and are getting familiar with the new equipment...Thank you, General, for all you have done for them!"

But Stilwell waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't thank me for this, you should thank General Panson. He planned the whole thing, I'm just the executor!"

Seeing that the three division commanders wanted to ask more questions, Li Junhao said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk after we go in! Joseph, try the tea I brought."

The five people entered the command tent and sat down at the table. Xiao Yu and Shui Jingyun gave everyone new tea.

Stilwell greeted with a smile: "Xiao Yu, you also came to Myanmar. How is it? Are you still used to it?"

Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Hello, General Stilwell, of course I have to follow Commander Panson, otherwise he won't be able to take care of himself! Although Myanmar is rough here, I can adapt to it."

"Haha!" Stilwell laughed. From Shanghai to Washington, and then to Myanmar, he was very happy to see acquaintances, and turned to say hello to Nick at the door of the tent.

Xiaoyu knew that they wanted to talk about something and wanted to leave with Shui Jingyun, but Li Junhao said: "Xiaoyu, you and Jingyun stay here and listen."

Xiaoyu agreed and pulled Shui Jingyun to sit in front of another folding table, took out a notebook and pencil, and prepared to take notes.

After taking a sip of tea, Stilwell put away his smile and said in Chinese: "Ogg, there is a big problem with the British army!"

"I guessed it!" Li Junhao said, "Did Commander Hutton suffer a repeated injury and can no longer command the troops, or did Sir Wavell, the 'Top Emperor' of India, become a demon again?"

Hearing this, Stilwell was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have to say, Ogg, you are right to be called a 'military prophet'! That's right, it was Sir Wavell who came out... oh, came out You’re a witch!”

The three generals of the Chinese Expeditionary Force were a little confused, but they could tell that Li Junhao's judgment was correct again!
