Chapter 2087 Threats and Advice

"No, no, I object! The British army is fully capable of defending Burma from Japanese occupation, and all your troops must withdraw from Burma!" Churchill yelled, waving his cigar with a red face, refusing to budge.

Ouyang Yun was smoking a cigarette in a gentlemanly way, as if he didn't hear him.And as he expected, Roosevelt could no longer remain silent.Roosevelt looked at Churchill sternly and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, facts have proved that the cadet army has played an irreplaceable role in stabilizing the Allied defenses in Southeast Asia, so I suggest that you take back the proposal just now."

Ouyang Yun dared to make concessions on this matter because he concluded that Roosevelt would never agree to Churchill's proposal.Just kidding, what will happen to the American army on Mindanao if the cadet army walks away?Not to mention whether the U.S. military can withstand the Japanese attack, if the cadet army takes the opportunity to stop airdropping supplies, the Japanese will be able to trap them to death.Furthermore, the poor performance of the British army in Malaysia and Singapore made the Americans doubt that they could withstand the Japanese attack.Finally, if the situation in Australia deteriorates further, the Americans are still counting on the cadet army to help those in need.The most important point is that Ouyang Yun knew that the Americans had long intended to turn Southeast Asia into a dumping ground for American goods, so for them, it was in the interests of the United States to expel Britain from Southeast Asia.To sum up, even though the Americans have realized that the army of soldiers in Southeast Asia will inevitably form a situation that cannot be lost, they can only show support.

Roosevelt's blatant denial made Churchill feel embarrassed. He could hardly bear to ask Roosevelt on the spot: Britain or China, who is the hard-core ally of the United States.Fortunately, he has not completely lost his mind, so he said rascally: "We will not recognize the Far East Allied Command. Burma is a colony of the British Empire. The British army will defend the interests of the British Empire to the death!"

Roosevelt frowned deeply and looked displeased—Churchill was stunned, ignoring the current war situation, but obsessed with protecting Britain's colonial interests in Southeast Asia. Didn't he know that the decisive role in the current war against Japan and Germany is the It was the Chinese and the Soviet Russians. Britain could be defeated, but neither of these two countries could be defeated. Otherwise, no matter if the Japanese army and the German army spared their hands, the war of the century would inevitably end with the axis of evil winning.

Ouyang Yun expected Churchill's attitude. Seeing that Roosevelt frowned and said nothing, he puffed out a puff of smoke and said slowly: "The Chinese Expeditionary Force can withdraw from Burma—"

"Oh?!" Churchill was overjoyed.Roosevelt looked at Ouyang Yun, his brows furrowed even tighter.

"However," Ouyang Yun continued.

The joy on Churchill's face turned into confusion, while Roosevelt's eyes showed anticipation.

Ouyang Yun still said unhurriedly: "Our country set up an expeditionary force to enter the Indochina Peninsula to fight. It was originally at the request of the allies, and it was a difficult decision made when the domestic war situation was not optimistic. In order to alleviate the crisis of the allied forces in Southeast Asia, Regardless of the imminent battle in Changsha, the Chinese government resolutely mobilized the main force to form an expeditionary force, which is a huge sacrifice for the overall situation of the Allied resistance against Japan. President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill, do you have any objection to this point?"

Churchill felt something was wrong, and was about to deny it, but Roosevelt rushed ahead of him and said: "The sacrifices and contributions made by the Chinese government and people to the cause of the Allied Forces are deeply admired by the governments and people of the United Kingdom and the United States. We will always remember the Chinese government This selfless contribution to the people."

Roosevelt directly represented the governments and peoples of the United Kingdom and the United States. Churchill couldn't object. He smoked his cigar depressedly, and at the same time his ears pricked up, not wanting to let go of every letter that Ouyang Yun wrote next.

"OK!" Ouyang Yun said, and then reached out to take a stack of documents from Jiang Huangyong, handed it to Roosevelt and said, "Mr. President, this is the list of casualties and material losses of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Southeast Asia. The Chinese Expeditionary Force can withdraw from Myanmar or even Southeast Asia, but Young Marshal Zhang and I must give an explanation to the fallen soldiers and the Chinese people who provided funds and materials for this expedition.” He turned to Churchill and said seriously: “Mr. The expeditionary army blocked the Japanese army in the southeast of Myanmar. Since you insist that Myanmar is a colony of your country and must be guarded by your country, well, your country will bear the pensions of the soldiers killed in the Chinese expeditionary army and the loss of our materials. Already—Mr. President, my request is not too much, is it?"

Roosevelt couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect Ouyang Yun's move at all, holding the stack of documents full of numbers, he suddenly felt a little dizzy and couldn't keep up with Ouyang Yun's thinking.As for Churchill, his face was flushed with anger, and he waved a cigar and shouted: "General Ouyang Yun, you are blackmailing! Japan is our common enemy. As a member of the allies, the Chinese government and military have the obligation to undertake the mission of fighting against Japan." !"

"We have this obligation, but the primary obligation of the Chinese government and military is to drive the Japanese invaders out of the country, and then we can consider other things. Our government and people have made such great sacrifices to help the Allied forces defend the Burmese defense line, but Now it has to be handed over to a government and army that has no determination and strength to fight against Japan, and this may put our government and people in a dilemma. Prime Minister Churchill, do you think that we Chinese are all fools? Or Do you think we Chinese are easy to bully?!" Ouyang Yun also roared back.

"Gentlemen, please calm down. We are in the same camp now, and we can discuss anything," Roosevelt hurriedly smoothed things over.

"No! Mr. President, I can't keep calm. It is because of my call that the Chinese boys went to fight in foreign countries. I must explain to their parents!" Ouyang Yun continued to roar, without the previous demeanor .

Churchill also yelled: "We will never accept this condition. The Chinese army must withdraw from Burma. Burma is a colony of the British Empire. The British Empire's troops will not hesitate to fight for it!"

"Really? Then I don't mind turning Myanmar into another Singapore!" Ouyang Yun sneered contemptuously.

Churchill became more and more annoyed, glaring at him and shouting: "Are you threatening me? Are you threatening the Prime Minister of the British Empire?!"

"Threat?! No, I take it as a piece of advice! Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if any of you have heard of the Battle of Prome. What I want to tell you is that in this battle, when our heroic Chinese When the soldiers were fighting fiercely with the Japanese army and the so-called Indonesian National Independence Army on the front line of Prome, the British, our allies, abandoned their positions without saying hello and retreated to India. Ladies and gentlemen! This is What kind of attitude should an ally have? Ladies and gentlemen, for such an ally and such an army, how can you let me trust them?!"
