Chapter 1665: Expedition to the Middle East
Although the two of them were reasonable, well-founded and sincere, Stilwell was still skeptical, but he knew that when it came to this, there was basically no hope for this matter, and after a period of silence, Stilwell said: "We won't talk about nuclear weapons for the time being, we still have a plan, you must cooperate with us." ”
Jiang Haoran said: "You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely cooperate." ”
Stilwell gritted his teeth and said: "Send troops to the Middle East as quickly as possible, attack the rear of the German army, and relieve pressure on the Allies." ”
There was silence in the room, Huang Jie and Leng Rushuang's eyes flashed with strange light, but Jiang Haoran looked extremely painful, as if he was very embarrassed.
Stilwell was obviously a little flustered, in the Suez crisis a year ago, he made the same request, but Jiang Haoran refused, looking at his expression at this time, he was really worried that Jiang Haoran would still be the same, and said hurriedly: "Child, at this time, the German army in the Middle East at this time is completely on the defensive, and their troops are all transferred to France, the threat to you is not very great, but your dispatch of troops is very critical to the Allies, although it cannot be directly resolved, at least the German army wants to keep the fruits of victory in the Middle East, Heavy reinforcements will inevitably be drawn to give the Allied forces in the encirclement a chance to breathe, so you must promise me. ”
Jiang Haoran scratched his head and sighed for a long time before gritting his teeth and said: "Old man, this matter is you and Linda, I will not agree to anyone, for your sake, I promise you." ”
"Huh." Linda immediately cheered.
The two-eyed Stilwell finally sat down in his chair, but then straightened his waist and said eagerly, "When can you start moving?" ”
"Since it has been decided to send troops, of course, it is without delay. However, before that, there is one thing I must figure out, I can solve it by myself in terms of weapons and troops, but who will be responsible for logistics, supplies, and military expenses? ”
Jiang Haoran will never give up any opportunity to stretch out his hand, the Middle East oil in front of him is still a shadowless thing, the value has not been fully reflected, Mi Ying can never imagine that he has long coveted the Middle East, according to the current situation of the Chinese, of course, it is to stabilize the existing territory, concentrate troops to eliminate the island country, ideologically speaking, he is willing to send troops, it really seems that he is completely to save the allies, for the world to spare no effort to fight fascism.
Stilwell seemed to be prepared, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, these are all ours, as long as you send troops, the supplies will be transported to Chittagong immediately, and the military expenses will be distributed soon." ”
"Okay, in that case...... If it was frosty, he immediately sent a telegram to Tang Enbo and Chen Mianwu, ordering the Far Fifth Group Army and the Far Fourth Group Army to immediately set off for an expedition to the Middle East. ”
"Yes, Chief." Leng Rushuang got up and agreed, and quickly walked out of the conference room.
Huang Jie got up and leaned in front of Jiang Haoran, and said in a low voice: "Boss, do you still have to think about this matter, you see, now we have nineteen infantry divisions and four tank divisions in the three countries of Afghanistan, and the German army's rear defense line cannot be empty, once we attack, we will inevitably transfer troops and reinforcements, so the strength is definitely insufficient, to form a momentum of heavy troops, at least we have to add the newly formed Sino-Arab coalition army and the Sino-Pakistani coalition army, so logistics materials and military expenses can not only be distributed according to 23 divisions, at least not less than 50 divisions." ”
When Jiang Haoran heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter, Huang Jie's goods are now getting more and more yin and his appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Jiang Haoran didn't need any brewing to fight this kind of cooperation, he immediately looked solemn, his eyes were erratic, and his wavering thoughts were already written on his face.
Stilwell sat next to Jiang Haoran, and he listened to Huang Jie's words word for word, and when he saw Jiang Haoran's expression, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Jiang, don't worry, fifty divisions are fifty divisions, provided that you have to be fast." ”
Jiang Haoran said: "You can rest assured of this, the four main divisions and two tank divisions of our Far Fourth Army are at the forefront, and they can be pulled out tomorrow or even tonight, there is no main force of the German army in Afghanistan, we can hit Iran in one day, and the German army must urgently return if it wants to ensure the security of the Middle East." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for good news." Stilwell got up and stretched out his right hand to Jiang Haoran, and then said: "You send a telegram to Tang Enbo, I will rush to New Delhi now, I must keep abreast of their attack plan and speed." ”
"Ah, it's so urgent, isn't this just here, I haven't had a drink with you yet?" Jiang Haoran held Stilwell's hand and refused to let go, but it really seemed like he was a little reluctant.
Stilwell patted the back of Jiang Haoran's hand and said, "If you have a chance, when the Anti-Japanese War is won, I will definitely accompany you to drink for three days and three nights." ”
"The general spared no effort to fight against the fascists, and peace-loving people all over the world will always remember you, in this case, I will not keep it, go, I will personally send you to the airport."
"It's serious." Stilwell laughed, then suddenly thought, "Oh, wait, it's not us, Linda stays for the time being, this is the meaning of the Allied General Command, and she is in charge of the liaison officer for this campaign." ”
"That's right." Jiang Haoran glanced back at Linda, who was full of excitement, and said with a smile: "Then I will be wronged by Miss Linda." ”
"No grievance, no grievance." Linda puffed up her beautiful big eyes, waved her hands excitedly, and suddenly caused a room of laughter, the laughter was more ambiguous, Linda's thoughts about Jiang Haoran were all known to everyone present, and "grievances" were naturally impossible to talk about.
……
When Jiang Haoran returned from the airport, Huang Jie and Leng Rushuang were still waiting in his office.
As soon as he entered the door, Huang Jie couldn't wait to say, "Boss, don't you think it's strange?" ”
"What's weird?" Jiang Haoran was puzzled.
Huang Jie said: "Even if we sweep the Middle East, the war situation in Europe will not change much, why should the people of the United States pay such a high price and rush to let us advance into the Middle East, will there be a conspiracy?" ”
Leng Rushuang also said: "Also, from Iran to Turkey, a journey of thousands of kilometers, even if we have enough ability to sweep away the German army, no matter how fast it is, it will take ten or twenty days, and with this time, the Allied forces trapped in France have long run out of ammunition and food, and maybe they will be annihilated a long time ago. ”
Jiang Haoran smiled indifferently, was not in a hurry to answer, sat down on the chair slowly, lit a cigarette and spit out a few puffs of smoke, whetted the appetite of the two, and then said slowly: "Don't worry, where do they still have the heart to calculate us now, and besides, it is not only us who want the German army to attack, there must also be the Soviets, and now the main force of the German army is moving westward, it is an excellent time for a large-scale counteroffensive, and Stalin will not let go of this opportunity." But these are not the main ones, the main ones are ......"
