Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

In fact, no one knows better than the chairman that Jiang Haoran is the most suitable candidate for the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force. If Jiang Haoran had been appointed as the commander-in-chief from the very beginning, perhaps the current predicament of the expeditionary force and the cutoff of the Burma Highway would not have occurred. Serious consequences. Even at this time, the chairman of the committee thinks that if Jiang Haoran goes to Burma immediately, it is possible to reverse the current defeat and turn decay into magic. Jiang Haoran has created too many miracles.

However, it is precisely because of these "miracles" that the chairman feels uneasy. If Jiang Haoran, who is already so powerful, hands over the expeditionary force to him, then he will have 60 soldiers in his hands. It is said that there are 800 million troops, but in fact the maximum is 500 million, but the chairman really controls only a million of the 500 million troops, and the rest are in the hands of warlords everywhere. It seems that the Military Commission is in control of the overall situation, but the chairman knows clearly Quite likely, it was because the Japanese were causing trouble, so these warlords were temporarily twisted together. Once the War of Resistance Against Japan is over, China’s civil war will definitely resume. Jiang Haoran’s strength can completely promote him to be the new warlord with the most potential to compete in the Central Plains. There really was a day when the chairman didn't even think he had a chance of winning.

However, during this period of time, Jiang Haoran's performance was satisfactory to the Chairman. After being imprisoned for more than three months, Jiang Haoran did not take any action. There was no excessive behavior, and the army dutifully stuck to its own line of defense.In particular, the special warfare division stationed in Baoshan took the initiative to assume the responsibility of guarding the southwest gate in the face of a strong enemy's invasion. According to the news from the front, they have repelled at least ten Japanese attacks.

Even "there" showed no signs of standing up for Jiang Haoran, which made the chairman especially gratified, which showed that Jiang Haoran had no problem at least in terms of political orientation.Although the Chairman has not visited Jiang Haoran during the past three months, Dai Li has a detailed report on what Jiang Haoran does every day. It is said that Jiang Haoran has become a "Jiang Carpenter" in the past few months. The trees near the mansion were almost cut down by the agents of the military command he ordered, and he only said that he was making toys for his future son in his free time.Although Dai Li reminded the chairman more than once that Jiang Haoran was learning from Gou Jian, the king of Yue, and implying that the chairman must not be fooled by his illusion, but the chairman didn't think so, he felt that Jiang Haoran was still a little childish. It's just that he is too stubborn, otherwise he wouldn't have asked to see himself after so long. The real ones who are willing to try their best will definitely have to make compromises in order to get out of trouble.

Just as the chairman was thinking far away, Wang Shihe, the chief guard of the national government, came in a hurry and told Chen Chen and Bai Chongxi to ask to see the chairman, and they were waiting in the living room.

The chairman was taken aback, as if he understood the purpose of the two people's visit. Politically, the two had always been at odds with each other, but when it came to Jiang Haoran's issue, the two had always been on the same page. The chairman also knew that they both I value Jiang Haoran very much, and they are trying hard to bring Jiang Haoran into their sphere of influence, just like my wife, who has been making efforts in this area, but they are impossible to succeed. Jiang Haoran is arrogant, or he is dedicated to For the party-state to become its most powerful general, or it really has the idea of ​​competing in the Central Plains, so it is impossible for him to become someone else's vassal, which the Chairman always believes.

As soon as the chairman entered the living room, Chen Chen and Bai Chongxi immediately stood up and saluted. After the salute, Chen Chen said first: "Your seat, the U.S. embassy in Chongqing just sent a telegram of reprimand from the U.S. side, complaining that the Chinese expeditionary force did not obey Stilwell. The general's order, Du Yuming's command ability is low, and he can't control the overall situation at all, and there are also big problems within the expeditionary force. The armies and divisions are suspicious of each other, and there is no spirit of coordination at all, and they can't be twisted together at all. , Even if there is no immediate defeat, it is impossible to compete with the Japanese army in Burma, and the defeat in the Southeast Asian battlefield cannot be changed??????"

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense!" Before Chen Chen finished speaking, the Chairman began to scold angrily, "This must be Stilwell's fault. According to him, the Expeditionary Force should be in command of him. The lives of my 10,000+ good men should be handed over to them Yankees and let them be cannon fodder? Du Yuming's command is not effective? I think the only way to lose is worse if I hand it over to him? Also, how did they Not to mention the British army, the 10,000+ British army retreated to India in one breath, and also used various deceptive means to deceive my expeditionary force to cover their retreat. Otherwise, how could there be an immediate defeat? It's on my expeditionary force, do they still want to face it?"

The chairman danced and danced, obviously extremely angry, so Chen Chen and Bai Chongxi dared not answer his words, until the chairman asked them what else did they say?Bai Chongxi went on to say: "However, the Americans still have high hopes for us. They are going to provide another thirty to fifty divisions with all-American equipment, on the condition that ??????"

"Fifty mechanic?" The chairman interrupted Bai Chongxi again and exclaimed, but this time his face was obviously much better. The temptation of 5000 mechanic is not insignificant, the only reason is that the fighting power is low , To a large extent, they have suffered from equipment losses. If these fifty divisions are calculated according to the standard of 75 people in the US Army, that is a 75 army with [-] US equipment. Excited the chairman, it seems insignificant in front of any conditions, but the chairman still asked anxiously: "What is their condition?"

Bai Chongxi continued: "Their condition is that the Chinese expeditionary force cannot retreat back to the country, and at least must retreat to Imphal to rest and actively prepare for the counterattack against Myanmar. At the same time, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force will be replaced by Jiang Haoran. The United States has repeatedly emphasized , this is the common expectation of all American citizens, please carefully consider the Chairman."

"Mother Xipi, this is a threat, Chiguoguodi threat! Mother Xipi, are Americans still qualified to negotiate terms with us now? I just don't agree, let's see what they can do?"

The chairman is very clear in his heart that the Americans are also going to the doctor in an emergency, so they generously took out fifty divisions of American equipment?That's because the situation in Europe is already very dangerous. The Germans' crazy attack made the U.S. military dare not transfer its troops to the Southeast Asian battlefield. It could only rely on the Chinese army to contain the Japanese army. It is possible to shift the focus to the Pacific battlefield, and then the nightmare of the United States will begin to come.

This is also the root cause of the Americans' insistence on not allowing the expeditionary force to withdraw to the country, because it will take at least two months for the expeditionary force to retreat back to the country, and then reorganize into Burma, and may not be able to enter the state of counterattacking Burma within half a year .
