Chapter 62: The situation is good

The vanguard of the Independent Army pursued the Japanese army reluctantly, and kept pushing the 1st Independent Division to press Donghu, and Zhuo Fei reported the summarized battle situation in Burma to Chongqing. It took only 10 days to fight from Lashio to Donghu, and the high-ranking people in Chongqing were very surprised by the combat effectiveness of the independent army. Knowing that the Independence Army had actually controlled the entire northern Burma, the British army, which had been cowering in India, learned that the Chinese army had blocked the Japanese army on the Rangoon line, and hurriedly prepared to return to Burma, but the British did not get Zhuo Fei's permission.

Also in a hurry are the US Government ambassador in Chongqing, and the Southern Advance Corps commanded by Yamashita Fengwen has already entered the Philippines, and the US troops deployed in the Philippines are in dire straits. The American and British ambassadors both believed that the performance of the Chinese troops in Burma was acceptable, and they hoped that the Nationalist Government would continue to increase troops in Burma in order to coerce other Japanese troops in South Asia and force Yamashita Fumi's troops to turn back to meet the battle.

How could the top leaders in Chongqing not see the wishful thinking of Britain and the United States, but within the coalition government, there were also some people who thought that this matter was not easy to offend the United States and Britain, so Zhuo Fei was summoned back to Chongqing again. "Shijiazhuang has been taken?" Goodbye to the high-level government officials, Zhuo Fei only asked one sentence, and then shut up those pro-European factions. The purpose of using the independence army to go south to Burma to meet the Japanese army was to free up more troops to fight at home, and even the Japanese army at home was not cleaned, so they were anxious to help outsiders to fight, not because they didn't want their own family to be good or something.

"The Jews are not stupid, and if there is no benefit, who can help us fight the war in vain. The Japanese have all gone to the United States, and the British are bombed by the Germans every day, and we can't get their help now, so why should we be polite to them? We are now the Republic of China, not the Manchu era, there is no need to look at the faces of Europeans to live, I personally think, it is better to sweep the snow in front of the door, our own domestic Japanese army has not been resolved, what does the United States and Britain have to do with us. ”

Zhuo Fei's answer is very clear, that is, he doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, and besides, the Independence Army is an independent armed force belonging to the umbrella company and is not under the command of the national government. "There are only a few troops that we can fight, and the most important thing now is to seize the right time to solve the Japanese army in the country first, the Americans and the British are now just playing with words, only saying good things but not getting actual benefits, and when the time comes, the benefits they said are all taken, and then we will discuss the matter of increasing troops to the south."

Zhuo Fei's words were already a bit explicit, and naturally some people in the top level expressed dissatisfaction with Zhuo Fei's attitude, but Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong did not express their position, and no matter how much others said, Zhuo Fei chose to ignore it. Zhuo Fei's ultimate plan was only told to a few people in the upper echelons, and there were still many people in the upper echelons who did not know the inside story about why they were using Jews to fight south, but they also knew that the government could not draw extra troops to the south to increase its troops now.

The ambassadors of the United States and Britain anxiously awaited the reply of the Nationalist Government, but unfortunately what they were waiting for was a bolt from the blue, and the Nationalist Government not only did not increase its troops to Burma, but would also send troops from the south to Burma to fight back to China in the near future. The Americans did not have much hope for the Nationalist Government, and they came to join in the fun, that is, to see if there were dates or not, but the British were not happy. Seeing that the Chinese army was already about to drive the Japanese out of Burma, how could the Nationalist Government withdraw its troops at such a critical juncture?

"Why can't we withdraw our troops? At present, the situation of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in our country has reached an existential critical juncture, and if we continue to increase the number of troops on the front line, we may be able to completely reverse the situation of the War of Resistance against Japan. The British ambassador hurried to the official residence on the south bank, but he did not want to be received by Chiang Kai-shek, who was only met by a secretary in the chairman's residence, and the opinion of the Nationalist Government was clearly expressed in his words.

Looking at the depressed back of the British ambassador, Zhuo Fei, who was standing by the window of Chiang Kai-shek's study, couldn't help laughing, when the British ambassador came to the official residence to ask to see Chiang Kai-shek, Zhuo Fei happened to be in Chiang Kai-shek's study, and the two of them watched the British ambassador leave in frustration without blinking like watching a monkey show. "The British are like ducks in a steamer, the meat on their bodies has been cooked, but the mouth will not rot, when has it been, and they still put on a lofty face."

Relying on the intelligence network deployed by the military commanders in Europe and the underground forces of the umbrella company in Europe, Chiang Kai-shek could receive the latest war situation in Europe every day, and Zhuo Fei was recalled to Chongqing this time to learn about the latest war in Europe. The strength of the German army has been proven once again, and after France surrendered to Germany, a puppet government was set up, and the resistance forces in France have long since disappeared after the German army has been cleaned up several times.

After the failure of the generator plan, the British mainland has long been overstretched, and the only thing the British government can still rely on now is their navy, if it were not for the navy stronger than Germany, it may not need Germany to carry out landing operations at all, just daily daily attrition, can completely drag down the British Isles. The British were now drawing troops from their colonies to the mainland and were actively liaising with the Soviets in an attempt to provoke a war between the Soviet Union and Germany.

"There will definitely be a war between the USSR and Germany, and it will not be too far off." Regarding Chiang Kai-shek's question, Zhuo Fei gave an affirmative answer. Chiang Kai-shek can be regarded as a qualified politician, but not a good military strategist, from the last time he heard that Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union held a meeting, Zhuo Fei had already judged that Britain and the United States were instigating relations between the Soviet Union and Germany, but Chiang Kai-shek still showed hesitation. "Chairman, in Europe, there has never been an unbreakable alliance, the Europeans only talk about interests, as long as there are enough interests, the Americans will betray Britain as well."

"Since the Soviet Union and Germany carved up Poland in partnership, the Soviet Union and Germany have been allies on the surface, and they have secretly signed non-aggression pacties between them. But at that moment, the current situation in Europe was completely chaotic, and Germany was too strong for the Soviets to be able to defend against Germany. Having only received a third of Poland and being limited in its chances of continuing its advance into Europe, this was not what the Soviets wanted, especially since the Slavs had always been greedy. ”

"Germany has superior weapons and equipment than European countries, and has a perfect military supply system, and after the forced surrender of France, Germany has another source of military supplies that can be obtained at any time. In terms of land area, Germany was inferior to the Soviet Union, but when it came to the combat effectiveness of the troops, the Soviets were probably no match for the German army. Seeing that the rise of Germany is unstoppable, Britain and the United States will definitely try their best to lobby the Soviet Union to enter the war, after all, the Soviet Union has a large population and several times the number of troops that of Germany. ”

When Zhuo Fei said this, Chiang Kai-shek could be regarded as completely understood, and couldn't help nodding and praised, "This is the so-called reason that the Americans pay for guns and money, and the Soviets send troops." Chiang Kai-shek's remarks came from a series of benefits offered to the Nationalist Government by the British ambassador to the South Bank Villa. According to Zhuo Fei's explanation just now, the British originally fought this idea, with the British government sending guns and money, and the Chinese government sending troops to fight in the south, but in Zhuo Fei's mouth, it was replaced by the Soviets sending troops to fight.

"I'm afraid now that the Soviets don't enter the war, Europe will be completely in a pot of porridge, which is the most beneficial to our ultimate plan." Only then did Zhuo Fei tell Chiang Kai-shek that he had ordered the Burmese indigenous troops to enter Thailand. "Now is a good opportunity for us, and I hope that the US military in the Philippines can hold out for a longer time, so that we can take Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, as long as they are connected with Myanmar, and we have already controlled 30% of the whole of South Asia."

"Most of the Japanese maritime forces were busy transporting ground troops to the continental United States, and I received information that the three divisions of the Japanese landing on the west coast of the United States, with the cooperation of Mexican forces, had taken control of several cities and had begun to produce weapons and ammunition using local industrial facilities. The Japanese cabinet has been blinded by the war on the American mainland, and they even believe that this is the best time for Japan to integrate into Europe, so they have repeatedly increased the number of troops against the United States in an effort to control more cities and territories. ”

The huge world map was placed on the table, and Zhuo Fei grabbed a brush and pointed on the map to explain to Chiang Kai-shek. "My Independence Army has taken control of Taungoo and opened a passage into Thai territory from Pasang, and the Japanese troops who are currently blocked by the Independence Army on the front line of Rangoon can be released first. I will first urge a large number of Burmese indigenous troops to enter Thailand from Pasang to clear the way, and then send two independent divisions to follow. As soon as the mechanized units of the Independence Army can enter Thailand through Pasan, the Independence Army will take advantage of the situation to launch a full-scale attack in Thailand. ”

The brush in Zhuo Fei's hand drew a circle on the map, and in this circle he drew there were not only Myanmar and Thailand, but also small countries such as Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. "By the time Yamashita has cleaned up the Philippine U.S. forces, the Independence Army has already completed its assault on these countries, and then we will have one or two battles with Yamashita Fumi. I can say with certainty that with the current combat effectiveness and weaponry of the Independence Army, Yamashita Fengwen's Southern Advance Corps will not be an opponent at all. ”
