Du Yuming finally understood. You must know that before the battle with the Japanese army, Zhou Weiguo said more than once that the British were unreliable! As a result, when they arrived in Yangon, they finally thought they could hold it, but they were still tricked by the British.
Got it!
Now Du Yuming also understands what Zhou Weiguo means. If the British are allowed to guard the Western Front, then the back of the expeditionary force will be handed over to them. If something happens to the British, it will be a disaster for the expeditionary force.
!
"I agree with the commander-in-chief's proposal!" Du Yuming stood up. As the deputy commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Du Yuming's proposal still has a certain status and weight. "General Alexander, it's not that we don't trust your army, we just have more troops.
We can also be more prepared."
Alexander was angry, "You Chinese just don't like to tell the truth! You just don't trust our warriors of the British Empire!"
As a result, the atmosphere in the conference room became tense.
All the generals on the Chinese side think that Zhou Weiguo's words are reasonable. Let the British defend the west? What if they fail to defend? Wouldn't it cost their lives? If they fail to defend, the consequences will be too serious! This so-called Mander
The Battle of Le was simply aborted! Moreover, the expeditionary force would also be in a dangerous situation!
Seeing this, Stilwell had to come out to smooth things over, "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, Staff Officer Zhou, Deputy Commander Du, I believe in the brave men of the British Empire!" Then Stilwell turned to Alexander, "Harold, don't be excited, Mr. Commander-in-Chief
They’re just playing it safe!”
Alexander snorted and sat down, "In short, since the meeting decided that our British Empire troops will defend the Western Front, we will defend it! No other people's intervention or help is needed!"
Zhou Weiguo knew that mentioning it directly would irritate the fragile facial nerves of these people. Shouldn't he mention it? If the expedition failed and tens of thousands of expeditionary soldiers left Savage Mountain, who would be responsible for this?
As for the British army during World War II, or the British army stationed in Myanmar, they were not strong in the first place and were really unreliable! Zhou Weiguo did not want to see them at all! If Zhou Weiguo was the commander-in-chief, he would definitely arrange for the British army to shout 666 from behind, which is better than them
It's good to come out and trick people.
After hearing Alexander's words, Lao Jiang felt helpless, "Well, let's make arrangements according to the results of the meeting."
Then he glanced at Zhou Weiguo and Du Yuming, "You two, follow me!"
Du Yuming and Zhou Weiguo looked at each other, then stood up and followed Lao Jiang.
Others in the headquarters looked at each other a little bit, but they were quite satisfied that the British were so angry. You know, neither Stilwell nor Alexander were popular with the generals of the national army. Especially after a few days.
By now, Du Yuming and Stilwell had accumulated quite a lot of conflicts.
…
After following Lao Jiang into a room, Lao Jiang found a place to sit down by himself.
Du Yuming and Zhou Weiguo were embarrassed to sit down.
"Humph." Lao Jiang snorted. Although it was a snort, it was not very angry. He just felt that Zhou Weiguo and Du Yuming's behavior had caused him some trouble, and they had not greeted him beforehand.
If Zhou Weiguo and Du Yuming knew what Chiang Kai-shek was thinking, they would definitely say, "You have this meeting right after you get off the plane. Who has the time to say hello to you?"
"Have a seat." Du Yuming stood up straight and saluted Chiang Kai-shek.
"Hello, Chairman!" Zhou Weiguo also imitated Du Yuming's actions.
Lao Jiang twitched his lips and said, "Forget it, everyone, please sit down."
So, Du Yuming and Zhou Weiguo sat down.
"Are you two deliberately trying to embarrass me with your behavior today?" Lao Jiang spoke first and looked at the two of them.
"How can you not appoint a seat!" Du Yuming first complained, "In fact, the British are really unreliable!"
Zhou Weiguo nodded aside.
"Before I was in Yangon, I thought that our Fifth Army would be able to stop the Japanese when they arrived in Yangon. However, the original good defense was destroyed by the British!" Du Yuming expressed his bitterness, "Originally, that was a good defense.
There will be no 5,000 casualties! If it is true as said at the meeting that we will completely hand over the Western Front to the British, based on the performance of the British, it is too mysterious! What's more, before we came, if the British
If you can guard yourself, you won’t beg us for help!”
"That's right." Zhou Weiguo stood aside and gave Du Yuming appropriate assistance. After all, he and Chiang Kai-shek had already had a rift.
"Hmph!" Lao Jiang frowned, "Even so, why didn't you bring it up when the meeting was agreed upon? You had to wait until the meeting was over to bring it up? That would be a slap in the face to the British and Americans, you know?"
At this point, Zhou Weiguo was also a little helpless. During the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek, Stilwell, and Alexander were discussing happily without anyone else around, and no one else could get in the way. By the time the other one got in, they had already discussed.
The result is out, "How can the British and Americans get their dignity under the hands of the Japanese?"
"Ahem!" Du Yuming just took a sip of tea and almost spit it out, choking himself instead. But after thinking about it, Zhou Weiguo's words were indeed true.
"The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and attack Hong Kong, Malaya, and the Philippines, which one of them is not a slap in the face of the British and Americans? The problem is, face is not given by others, it is earned by oneself! They did not earn it at all.
Such shame! Look at the current situation of the Japanese in Southeast Asia!" Zhou Weiguo had no choice but to complain, "Look, if we hadn't come, what would the situation in Myanmar be like? Yangon was lost, and the British until now,
The supplies haven’t been delivered to us yet! Can you trust such an ally?”
After listening to Zhou Weiguo's words, Chiang Kai-shek also began to think deeply. Indeed, at the beginning, he took it for granted that the British should be able to defend compared with the Japanese. However, after Zhou Weiguo reminded him, no one thought that the British could defend.
"I'm not looking down on the British." Zhou Weiguo thought for a moment and explained, "The army stationed in Myanmar doesn't have many British people. Most of them are local people in Myanmar. Not only do their training fail to keep up, but their equipment is also compared with the British army.
It is also impossible to keep up. And, the most important thing is that in the eyes of the Burmese people, the devils came to liberate them! In the case of Yangon, if it were not for the help of the Burmese people, the devils would not have taken it so smoothly. Britain and the United States
Southeast Asia has been colonized for nearly a hundred years. Over the past hundred years, how much blood of Southeast Asian people has been shed on this land? The people of Southeast Asia are eager to get rid of colonization! Therefore, they want to use the power of the devils! Although they are seeking skin from tigers, for us,
It’s ultimately disadvantageous!”
Lao Jiang nodded. No one can imagine how much wealth Britain and the United States have plundered here in the past hundred years of colonization. Without Southeast Asia, whether Britain and the United States would still have their current status is a matter of two opinions.
