Upon hearing this, Wavell's eyes immediately showed a vigilant look.
"General Gao, these materials belong to the property of the British Empire. How to deal with them is our business. It seems that you don't need to ask, right?"
"Fuck..."
Seeing that this British guy was still showing a condescending attitude, Gao Hongming had already been mentally prepared and had an unhappy look on his face.
He stared at Wavell's face and said word for word: "Governor Wavell, if you still talk to us with this attitude, I think there is no need for our two armies to cooperate again.
I will immediately report to Commander Luo Zhuoying and immediately order the Chinese Expeditionary Force to get out of the way and let the Japanese 55th Division pass.
I believe that your brave soldiers will be very happy to have a fair showdown between samurai and the Japanese!"
Now it was the always proud Wavell's turn that he couldn't stand it anymore.
In the education and worldview he received since childhood, any person of color in this world is an inferior person and is born to serve the noble white people.
Furthermore, since he took office as the British Governor in Burma, no one has ever dared to speak to him in such a tone, let alone such an undisguised direct threat in front of him.
"General Gao, do you know what you are talking about?"
Wavell spoke so slowly that Gao Hongming could even hear the friction between his teeth.
"Of course I know what I'm talking about." Gao Hongming snorted, the disdain on his face rising.
It is different from the mentality of Chinese people in this era who maintain awe of Britain, the hegemon that has dominated the world for more than a hundred years.
The era before Gao Hongming traveled through time was a period when China's national power was continuously growing. It can be said that except for the United States, no country in the world can be regarded by the Chinese people.
Britain, the former empire on which the sun never sets, has declined even more. Although the navy nominally has two 60,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, it seems to be doing pretty well.
But in fact, the entire UK can no longer gather a formation capable of escorting two aircraft carriers.
The funniest thing is that the two 60,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carriers only have a total of thirty-five fighters on board, and they have to be shared with the Air Force. This can be regarded as a first for the world's military.
Not only that, because the UK no longer has the ability to develop its own advanced fighter aircraft, if it wants to buy a carrier-based aircraft, it can only lose face and buy the F35 from the United States.
For the sake of national defense and security, Britain can only completely tie itself to the United States and place its own security on the United States, its former little cousin.
Let me ask, how can such a country be respected?
Therefore, in the era when Gao Hongming traveled back in time, this country gave most people the impression that it was a country that had fallen into such a state of decline that it had to rely on the protection of its former little cousin, but it still maintained the airs of the old aristocracy.
Of course, except for those Hong Kong young losers who would rather die than kneel and lick the British. In the hearts of these people, they feel that even the poop produced by foreign adults is delicious.

"Your Majesty the Governor, I am now officially informing you. In view of the current critical situation, the expeditionary force is in urgent need of a large amount of weapons, ammunition, military uniforms, bedding and other items. We need to requisition the supplies provided by the United States to your country.
If your country is unwilling to hand over these supplies, we will have to regret that we will no longer assume the responsibility of protecting your military and civilians in Myanmar."
"you……"
Wavell felt his eyes go dark, his whole body shook, and he almost fainted.
The reason for this is not that he is in poor health, but because he is angry.
Listen...what do people say?
“We will no longer have the responsibility to protect your military and civilians in Myanmar?”
He felt that he was probably the first governor-general in the British Empire to be so humiliated in two hundred years, right?
"You...don't even think about it. Even if I die, I will never hand over the property of the British Empire to you."
"Yeah!"
Gao Hongming smiled coldly. He didn't talk nonsense. He turned around and walked towards the jeep behind him, saying as he walked:
"Immediately report to Commander Luo that the British government would rather burn the supplies supported by the United States than hand them over to the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
As a result, the Chinese Expeditionary Force did not have enough supplies to resist the Japanese invaders, so it had to make a strategic retreat, and the British government would be responsible for the consequences.
By the way, remember to notify General Stilwell of this matter and ask him to report it to the White House, so that the evil people in the British government will not complain first in the future."
Listen...what do people say?
Wavell discovered for the first time that there were actually more rogue people in the world than the British government.
It’s just a matter of robbing things, but you actually want evil people to complain first. What’s going on in this world? Why does God allow such evil people to exist in the world?
Seeing Gao Hongming getting back into the jeep, Wavell really wanted to take out the pistol from his waist and pull the trigger on that bitch, but he didn't dare.
In full view of the public, the governor of a country personally shot and killed a general of an allied country. Unless he wanted to die with the other party, no one with an above-average IQ would do this.
"Your Majesty the Governor, what are we going to do?" Colonel Petyr asked with a worried look, "Do we still want to burn those supplies?"
"Burn...burn your ass!"
Wavell cursed angrily. Although he looked down on the Chinese people in his heart, there were many things in this world that could only be done but not said.
If what happened today really reaches the ears of the US government and the British media, it will definitely cause an uproar.
You, Wavell, would rather burn the supplies aided by the United States than send them to your allies to resist the Japanese attack. What a stupid person you have to be to do this.
If this matter really breaks out, his governor should stop doing it. He will definitely be recalled to the country as soon as possible to receive consultation from the lords in the parliament.
"Forget it...just give them the supplies!"
Despite all the reluctance in my heart, my reason finally defeated my inner demons.
It was satisfying to burn the supplies, but the consequences were something he couldn't afford...
------------------
"Sir, the British have agreed to hand over the supplies to us!"
At the expeditionary force headquarters, Du Yuming immediately reported the good news to Luo Zhuoying after receiving the news.
"Do you have a supply list?"
"some!"
Du Yuming excitedly took out a list and read: "There are 75,600 sets of autumn military uniforms and 36,000 blankets.
There are 13,000 American M1 Garand rifles and 6 million rifle bullets, and 7,900 Thompson submachine guns and bullets..."
Listening to the list Du Yuming read, Luo Zhuoying couldn't help but punched the table, "Okay... with these supplies, coupled with our air force, if this counterattack cannot be won, I will find a piece of tofu."
