What surprised Wang Xuexin was not this, but that along with the equipment came a group of twelve Yingjiang soldiers.
Sun Erwei brought them to Wang Xuexin and introduced: "Wang, this is Major Thomas, a military adviser sent from the country!"
"Military advisor?" Wang Xuexin was a little confused. He looked at Sun Erwei and asked, "I remember that we didn't ask your country to send military advisors!"
Sun Erwei explained with some embarrassment: "That's right, you are using M1 rifles and machine guns... They think they need at least some guidance from military advisers..."
Before Sun Erwei finished speaking, Major Thomas interrupted him. He said in fluent Chinese: "I don't think this needs explanation. This is our experiment. We can only train you to be like us."
Only then can we find the problem!”
Wang Xuexin felt a little unhappy when he heard Thomas's tone, and objected coldly: "I'm sorry, Major Thomas. What do you mean by your experiment?"
"Isn't it?" Major Thomas spread his hands and replied: "Our equipment is provided for free. Do you know how much these equipment and ammunition are worth?"
When he said this, Major Thomas pointed his finger at Wang Xuexin's chest in an arrogant manner.
Wang Xuexin looked at Sun Erwei, and then laughed: "Sorry! The cooperation ends here, you can leave with your equipment and people!"
Major Thomas seemed not to believe what he heard. He turned to look at Sun Erwei and asked, "What the hell? What is he talking about?"
Sun Erwei ignored Major Thomas, but stepped forward and said to Wang Xuexin: "No, Wang! You can't do this. You don't know how hard we worked to transport these equipment and ammunition here. You can't stop this with just one sentence."
project……"
"I'm not saying to terminate this project!" Wang Xuexin replied.
"Then what did you just say?" Sun Erwei asked doubtfully.
"What I'm saying is...terminate all projects!" Wang Xuexin emphasized word by word: "All of them!"
"You..." Sun Erwei's face flushed instantly: "You are acting out of anger, and this is not something you can decide..."
"This is what I can decide!" Wang Xuexin interrupted Sun Erwei and retorted: "Do you think our leader will be willing to give people to your command because of equipment?"
"We have no such plan..."
"Then what are your plans?"
Sun Erwei was speechless.
Wang Xuexin saw clearly that Major Thomas's words "This is our experiment" exposed the purpose of the Yingjiang project... They wanted to completely control this thousand-man team through equipment assistance, and even the command authority.
Just like Thomas said, only by training these people to be like hawks can we find out their combat problems.
This may sound like just training, but if the fighting style is like Yingjiang, does the command also need to be like Yingjiang?
Then Yingjiang only needed to exchange a few rifles for the elite Eighth Route Army. How can such a beautiful thing happen in the world?
In fact, this is not the first time Yingjiang has done this... In fact, it can be said to be the first time.
The reason why Wang Xuexin was able to see through it at a glance was because they had also had such an attempt on the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
That was when the expeditionary force was defeated and retreated to Asana. Yingjiang sent out equipment, supplies and provided training, while Huaxia sent out people to transport the country's elite and even educated student soldiers to Asana via the hump route.
Then as he practiced, Yingjiang was competing for the command... Yingjiang planned to get used to it, because Yingjiang officers and soldiers all exist as instructors. They usually order the Chinese soldiers to do this and that, and direct them in battles.
It's just natural.
If the Yingjiang officers and soldiers had half the courage of the Chinese army, this move would probably be successful.
The problem is that Yingjiang is accustomed to using ammunition to pile up ammunition, and then sending infantry to fight for positions.
As shown in the command of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Instructor Yingjiang always hides behind the Chinese army and shouts, and then jumps out to claim credit after the war.
Does such a team of instructors still want to compete for command?
That was so whimsical that the entire Chinese Expeditionary Force went on a hunger strike, and in the end Yingjiang had no choice but to return the command to China.
At this time, Major Thomas obviously knew that he did not have that much time... The Eighth Route Army's battle was imminent, and they had no time to take their time with sugar-coated shells, so they had to fight for control from the start.
On the surface, it is about training the mountain troops into Eagle Sauce mode, but in fact it is about controlling this army.
Wang Xuexin knew that he could not give in at this time.
When dealing with "businessmen" like Yingjiang, there must be no concessions from the beginning, otherwise they will press forward step by step in a "sausage-slicing" mode, and finally look back and realize that the entire army is no longer theirs.
Sun Erwei invited Major Thomas aside and asked with a very ugly face: "God, is this really your plan? I mean to use the equipment to control this army?"
"Is there anything wrong?" Major Thomas asked doubtfully: "Isn't this in their interests? Although they have men, many of them have no equipment or ammunition. We gave them equipment and ammunition, and taught them to defeat the enemy.
tactics..."
Sun Erwei shook his head helplessly: "You actually think you can teach them tactics to defeat the enemy?"
Only then did Sun Erwei realize that there was too little communication with the army in China.
It turns out that this was the Yingjiang Army’s own initiative.
Yingjiang handed this project over to the Infantry Combat Section of the research institute because it also included modifications to the use of rifle grenades.
The institute simply notified the Army of the project and asked them to send a troop to China as a consultant.
The Army took it for granted that they could control the situation with these free equipment, hence Major Thomas's words and ideas.
"I hope you understand, Major!" Sun Erwei said to Major Thomas: "We are here to learn their tactics, not to teach them anything. So, put away your ideas!"
"What?" Major Thomas still couldn't believe it. He looked at Wang Xuexin, then turned back to Sun Erwei with disdainful eyes: "You mean, just them? What can they teach us?"
Just as Sun Erwei was about to leave, he turned around when he heard these words, emphasized his tone and pointed his finger at Thomas's chest: "You will know later, Major! First of all, you have to know that the person you look down on was killed not long ago.
It was he who saved Yingchan and allowed us to turn defeat into victory on the Pacific battlefield! So, put away your arrogance! Or just like what he said, pack your bags and go back!"
With that said, Sun Erwei left Major Thomas alone in a daze, thinking about how to apologize for this!
Wang Xuexin had known that this would happen, and what he was thinking in his mind was that the ammunition Li Yunlong requested should be available.
