Chapter 1655 No choice
After a moment, Zhong Yi and Stilwell walked in together.
Stilwell said: "General Alexander, it's a pity that the situation in Malaysia will become like this."
"Oh, is that?" Alexander immediately retorted, "I am very sorry that the situation in the Philippines will deteriorate sharply in such a short period of time."
Stilwell's face immediately collapsed.
The British army performed very poorly in the Malaysian Peninsula, but the US army did not perform much better in the Philippines.
The 14th Army of the Southern Army led by Masaharu Honma launched an attack on the US troops stationed in the Philippines almost at the same time.
The Philippine army commanded by MacArthur was defeated by Honma Masaharu's 14th Army as soon as he joined the battle. Now, after retreating to the Bataan Peninsula, he was about to be made into dumplings by the Japanese army.
Stilwell said: "General Alexander, I didn't mean to make fun of me just now."
"I don't mean to cancel, either." Alexander said with his hands spread out, "I sincerely express my regret to you and regret the misfortune suffered by the US military in the Philippines."
Stilwell's face froze, he wanted to have an attack but he held it back.
Damn British, sensitive and fragile heart, ho.
Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "General Alexander, you must have seen how serious the situation in Southeast Asia is, so I hope you can carefully consider our previous suggestions."
"It is impossible to merge command! It is absolutely impossible!" Alexander flatly refused, "Since you both have said this, I might as well tell you both. Our bottom line is to defend India. As long as India can defend it, it is no big deal to lose Southeast Asia or even Myanmar."
Zhong Yi's face collapsed. This was really a stone in the pit, smelly and hard.
But then again, Alexander didn't say nonsense this time, this is really the bottom line of the British government.
In another time and space, Alexander not only said that, but also did so. At the critical moment when the Japanese army fought fiercely with the Chinese Expeditionary Force, this guy actually retreated to India with the British and Burmese troops. This eventually led to the disastrous defeat of the Expeditionary Force. Forty thousand soldiers of the National Army were buried in the tropical rainforest of the Wild Man Mountain, and their bodies remained.
Seeing that Zhong Yi and Stilwell stopped talking, Alexander thought he had taken the two.
Alexander said again: "However, there is something you are right. The situation in Southeast Asia is indeed very serious. Although the bottom line of our British government is to defend India, if possible, I still hope to defend Myanmar. Therefore, I can allow the Chinese army to enter Myanmar and are willing to cooperate with the Chinese army to fight against the Japanese army entering Myanmar. However, it is impossible to merge commands and commands. The British army will never be given to others for command. I don't want to command your Chinese or American troops, that's it."
"If this happens, there is nothing we can do." Zhong Yi sighed helplessly.
Stilwell also said: "Yes, we have no choice if that happens."
"No choice?" Alexander immediately became alert and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"
From Zhong Yi and Stilwell's weird tone, Alexander had some very bad premonition.
However, Alexander still didn't believe that Zhong Yi and Stilwell dared to do anything extraordinary to him. In any case, this is the British-Burma Army Command and this is his territory!
Just shout, the guards can rush in and capture them both.
Stilwell said: "General Alexander, for the benefit of the Allies, I can only exercise the powers granted to me by the International Anti-*** Alliance and remove your command!"
Although Stilwell is only the deputy commander of the Myanmar War Theater and Zhong Yi is the commander, Stilwell has a power granted by the headquarters of the International Anti-*** Alliance that even Zhong Yi does not have. This power is that he has the right to remove the command of Zhong Yi or Alexander at a critical moment!
The US government can understand this consideration.
Nowadays, whoever has money is the boss!
"Oh, you said you want to remove my command?"
Alexander was stunned when he heard this, and then burst into laughter again.
"Stilwell, are you kicked in the head by a donkey?" Alexander said with a smile, "The power granted to you by the International Anti-*** Alliance is just a clause written on paper, and it does not have any legal effect at all. Do you take it seriously? I am really sorry, I will not hand over the command authority of the British and Burmese army."
"I'm afraid you can't help it." Stilwell said hard.
"I can't help me? Really?" Alexander felt that Stilwell must have gained and lost his heart.
In his British-Burma Army headquarters, Stilwell, the outsider, actually threatened him!
After pausing, Alexander said again: "Stilwell, believe it or not, I will let the guards arrest you now?"
"I don't believe it." Before Stilwell could speak, Zhong Yi smiled and said, "You might as well let your guards come in and see if they have the courage to arrest us."
Alexander looked back at Zhong Yi.
Looking at the contemptuous smile on the corner of Zhong Yi's mouth, Alexander was immediately angry.
"Come!" The next moment, Alexander yelled, and a team of guards with live ammunition rushed in.
But before the guards raised the rifle in their hands, Zhong Yi slid behind Alexander, took out the Bronning pistol and pushed Alexander's head.
"Back back, all of them." Zhong Yi said coldly, "Otherwise, you will kill him!"
Alexander was so scared that his face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "No, don't listen to him!"
After a pause, Alexander roared at Zhong Yi again: "If you have the ability, just shoot me. If you kill me, don't even think about going out alive, you two will die!"
After saying that, Alexander said to Stilwell again: "Stilwell, do you want to cause diplomatic disputes between the United States and Britain? Don't think that you have the highest ruling authority granted by the headquarters of the International Anti-*** Alliance, and you can do whatever you want in Myanmar. Once I have a good life, the British government will never give up!"
"Is that?" Stilwell said coldly, "Why is it unwilling to give up the law? Announces severance of diplomatic relations with the United States? Or declares war on the United States? Do you think the British government will cut off diplomatic relations with the United States or even declare war on the United States for the command of the British and Burmese army? Or do I understand what I said, do you Britain still have the ability to declare war on the United States now?"
"Farke, without our American aid, you Britain can't even hold on for a day now!"
"So, wake up! You better recognize the reality. Now we are the boss! You UK are already yesterday's yellow flowers. From now on, you'd better listen to me, Oukai?"
