Shadow Spy

Chapter 402 It’s time to change

"Okay, let's eat first! Let's try the daily food of our observer team." Li Junhao said, "No need to refuse, we will eat while waiting for news from the front line. If it is as we expected, then several generals will Some are busy!”

After hearing his words, several people thought about it and realized what he meant - yes!No matter how badass the British army is, even if the Chinese Expeditionary Force is for China and the overall interests of the Allies, they cannot ignore the Japanese army's next actions, and they cannot even retreat.

Come to think of it, this is one of the reasons why the British government is so confident!
Xiaoyu recorded all Li Junhao's words and sighed in her heart. It turns out that Brother Jun is thinking about these major national affairs every day, and they are so complicated...

Shui Jingyun, another recorder next to her, immediately stood up and ran out after writing the last stroke in her shorthand notebook to prepare lunch for the captain and several generals, but the captain's words were still echoing in her mind - Is this the true face of international politics?
As early as when she was studying international politics at the University of Singapore, Shui Jingyun heard a saying, "There are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends, only eternal interests." This is the saying of Benjamin Dee, the former British Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party. The famous saying of Sraley (Earl of Beaconsfield, term: 1868.2-1868.12, 1874.2-1880.4) was later quoted by many politicians and regarded as political truth.

At this time, Li Junhao was thanking the system - after the victory of Degong, the reward he received was "proficiency in international politics". Looking at the British army's actions in Myanmar from a new perspective, he gained a clear understanding!
-
Because there was something on their mind, everyone ate lunch quickly and finished the meal in less than 10 minutes. After eating, everyone felt that the food was very good. As for what they ate, they didn’t even remember.

Just after lunch, Dai Anlan's adjutant rushed over and reported that the two armored reconnaissance teams had sent back reports. The 17th Division of the British and Indian Army originally stationed in Degong and the 36th Division of the British and Indian Army stationed in Meng Town. The Indian Infantry Division is undergoing a large-scale evacuation!
Several people looked at each other and saw the anger in each other's eyes.

Liao Yaoxiang immediately stood up and said: "I will report to the military headquarters!"

"It's useless. Neither Chief Luo (Luo Zhuoying) nor Chief Du (Du Yuming) has the right to issue orders to the British and Burmese troops." Dai Anlan shook his head.Yu Shao and Stilwell nodded in agreement.

"Then what should we do? Should we just wait here? Or should we also retreat?" Liao Yaoxiang stamped his feet impatiently.

"No, you can't withdraw!" Upon hearing this, Stilwell couldn't sit still.

Yu Shao said at this time: "General Stilwell, you are the commander of the Allied India-Burma Theater. You should have the right to issue orders, right?"

"It's useless, the British won't listen." Stilwell shook his head.

"How will you know if you don't try?" Li Junhao started to sing the opposite tune at this time.

"Ogg, what can you do? Tell me!" Stilwell stared into Li Junhao's eyes and said.

So did three Chinese generals.

"If I were in the position of General You, I would immediately order the Chinese Expeditionary Force to send powerful troops to occupy the transportation points where the Japanese army attacks northern Burma in advance, such as the important town of Pyai in the western part of Burma and the central Burma node of the Yang-Man Railway. Ancient station." Li Junhao said.

The four generals immediately walked to the map of Myanmar hanging next to them, looked at the terrain and traffic signs on it, and immediately determined that as long as these two nodes were blocked, not to mention the Japanese army, it would be the British and Indian troops of these two divisions. The army couldn't get through, but... "Mr. Observer, are you saying that we are going to use force against the British and Indian troops?" At this time, Yu Shao couldn't help but use honorifics to Li Junhao, who was only half his age.

"Then it depends on the courage of General Stilwell, the courage of General Luo Zhuoying and General Du Yuming, and the execution ability of you division commanders! I can't help with this." Li Junhao spread his hands.

Now, all four of them were dumbfounded!Yes, General Panson, as an American observer, can completely stay out of this kind of thing. There is no need to wade through this muddy water.

Yu Shao said with some frustration: "We'd better report it to the military! This is no longer something we can decide." In this regard, Dai Anlan and Liao Yaoxiang were helpless and could only nod in agreement.

At this time, Stilwell suddenly said in English: "Ogg, I think it's time to announce your official position, and you should take on the responsibility of command!" As he said that, he stood up with a serious expression.

"Joseph, are you sure?" Li Junhao also looked stunned and stood up.

"Yes, I am sure that only you have the ability to change the current predicament." Stilwell stood at attention and said, "I will immediately notify the commander of the British and Burmese forces, General Alvin, and the First Route Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Commander-in-chief General Luo Zhuoying, deputy commander-in-chief and commander of the Fifth Army General Du Yuming, ask them to fly to Tonggu immediately to convene the Supreme Allied India-Burma Theater Conference to announce your official position!"

Li Junhao looked at his serious expression and couldn't help but smile: "Joseph, you have to think about what it will mean to you once I take office. Don't regret it in the future!"

"No." Stilwell said firmly, "One thing I am sure of is that everything you have to do and will do in the India-Burma Theater will lay the foundation for me as commander. I am very happy to sit back and enjoy the results!" After saying this, he himself laughed.

"Okay, Joseph, so that's what you think!" Li Junhao smiled even more cheerfully. He admitted that the other party was right, and he probably wouldn't stay here for a long time; but that's okay, the other party understands, and he knows that both sides There will be no conflicts over the issue of command authority.

The three Chinese division commanders heard the two American generals talking in English again. They had already kicked the translator out because they were discussing the British army. At this time, they had no idea what the two were talking about. Then they saw them laughing. They were very happy and couldn't help but look at each other.
-
Later, Li Junhao personally took Stilwell to the communications tent and asked the operator to send him a telegram.

After the two left the command tent, the three Chinese generals started talking.

Liao Yaoxiang said: "Brother Shu Yu, Brother Yan Gong, this American observer is so powerful! What do you think he and General Stilwell are doing?"

Dai Anlan said: "I think I should have sent a telegram. Maybe I want to ask them for instructions back home!"

Yu Shao said: "This observer is really powerful. He has seen through the British conspiracy a long time ago. If he hadn't explained it clearly, I still don't know what the British mentality is like! If you are not careful, you will be tricked to death by them!"
