Jiang Haoran looked at Lin Long calmly, silent, and didn't say anything for a long time, which made Lin Long very surprised, originally thought that Jiang Haoran would inevitably have a thunderous rage, but the too big contrast couldn't help but make Lin Long suspicious: "What, are you going to cover him?" ”

Jiang Haoran was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Cover-up? Don't worry, I'm going to clean him up, it's too bad, and he'll have to be punished. By the way, did Tapa beat it? ”

Although Jiang Haoran's words were convincing, Lin Long didn't feel much meaning of punishment from his expression and words, it was clear that he was preparing to raise the board high and fall gently, Lin Long directly ignored Jiang Haoran's question, and continued to ask: "How are you going to punish him?" This kind of bad behavior will cause the whole army to go up and down, and even affect the entire expeditionary force. Mistreatment and killing of prisoners will undoubtedly stimulate the enemy's desperate resistance, which is not conducive to the war of resistance, and the Chinese have always paid attention to the soldiers who surrender without a fight? Also, why can't he, Liu Dakun, accept the peaceful settlement of the armed forces, instead of using the casualties of the soldiers to achieve this victory? ”

Lin Long spoke very fast, Jiang Haoran opened his mouth several times and failed to interject, so he simply took out a chair and sat down, lit a cigarette, and listened to her long speech.

It has to be said that Yan'an's preferential treatment of prisoners is not wrong, and the ancient Chinese art of war is cloudy, "besieging three queyi", that is to say, the siege of the city should give the enemy a passage to break through, so that the enemy will not fight to the end. "Preferential treatment of prisoners" is also the essence of this art of war, which makes the enemy lose the determination to fight to the end.

At the same time, preferential treatment of prisoners can soften the will of the prisoners and enable them to provide favorable information, and it can also attract a large number of prisoners who have been trained and mastered combat skills to join our ranks and use them to replenish our troops. In particular, those with technical skills can bring about an improvement in the overall quality of our army.

In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in fact, many prisoners of the island army finally joined our army after being brainwashed by political work cadres, and played a great role. Some of them participated in the work of persuading the enemy to surrender, teaching our army how to use grenadiers, fighting bayonets, making munitions, providing medical care, and so on.

But in Jiang Haoran's eyes and heart, these are nothing at all, especially the enemies who have committed serious crimes against their own people, he has never been merciful, and the so-called prohibition on killing prisoners is completely for the purpose of obtaining free labor.

Of course, benevolence and righteousness have to be talked about, but it depends on who it is, whether it is his own countrymen or the enemy who has not caused serious harm, he can reluctantly talk about it, in addition, he advocates blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and violent conquest by force.

In his view, the evildoers must be punished, and the murderers must be killed.

The strength of a country is by no means based on humanitarianism, but the blood and sharpness in the bones of this nation, which makes any coveted enemy fearful and awe-inspiring.

Of course, this is just Jiang Haoran's true thoughts in his heart, since Zhou Gong took office as the general political commissar, all this is actually up to Zhou Gong, how to punish Liu Dakun, strictly speaking, there is no need to go through Jiang Haoran at all, but this matter is related to Jiang Haoran's generals, and it is estimated that Zhou Gong explored Jiang Haoran's tone through Lin Long.

Jiang Haoran did not refute Lin Long's words, but only suggested that Liu Dakun be punished with a demerit, and if he felt that it was too light, he could suspend his salary for half a year.

Lin Long couldn't accept this result, and said unrelentingly that Jiang Haoran was clearly shielding, he lowered his hands to generals, such as Liu Dakun, Su Peng, Chu Zhongtian, etc., who didn't carry a large stack of demerits on their bodies, this is simply a formality, as for the suspension of salaries, it is even more outrageous, who would care about those small sums of money in a group army commander, although Jiang Haoran is strict in governing the army and will not be greedy for ink, but these people have been winning battles, and the seizures in the hands of little devils alone are a huge number, Almost none of this money has ever been handed over, who is not rich in their hands?

"Then what do you think should be done, kill him or withdraw? Now is the time to employ people, you go to lead a group army? Lin Long's chatter also made Jiang Haoran angry.

"You ......"

At this moment, Liu He hurriedly walked out of the telecommunications room and shouted: "Commander, I just received news that the Mi army has withdrawn from the Dutch East Indies. ”

"What, they withdrew? Are the sources reliable? Jiang Haoran ejected from Division B, obviously a little difficult to accept this result, which means that the island army has almost no pressure in the Pacific Ocean.

"Infallible, it's a message from Stilwell." As he spoke, Liu He handed a telegram to Jiang Haoran.

Jiang Haoran hurriedly browsed, and immediately began to pace in the house, and the telegram declared that the German army was overly active in the western Pacific, which had threatened the security of the British Isles and even the United States itself, and that the United States had to send the Pacific Fleet back to help, and at the same time, it was also preparing for the recapture of the Suez Canal.

Jiang Haoran knows that this is simply a pretext from the United States, the United States also has the Western Pacific Fleet, and it is not a problem at all to ensure the security of the British Isles and the mainland, as for the Suez Canal, they will not consider this problem at all in the short term, the most important thing is that the current German army will definitely increase troops in this area and confront the German army head-on, the United States has no chance of winning at all, and they will not take this risk.

The key reason is also that the failure of Jiang Haoran's Guangxi campaign made the United States unable to see the prospect of destroying the combined fleet of the island army in the short term, and the United States people have begun to prepare for the Normandy landing, which is the fundamental solution to the situation in Europe, so the United States people began to shift their strategic focus to the European battlefield.

As for the Pacific theater, since Jiang Haoran took control of the situation in Southeast Asia, it no longer poses any threat to the United States, and the Chinese navy is growing in wings, although it is not enough to confront the island army and the combined fleet on a large scale, but there is absolutely no problem in ensuring the smooth passage of the sea and ensuring the security of the existing territory.

Jiang Haoran has been working hard to push the Mi army to the forefront of the Pacific War, and the Mi people know it, but in order to fight against the common enemy, they have spared no effort, and now the threat of the island country to them has been basically lifted, so they decisively handed over this mess to Jiang Haoran to deal with.

At the same time, the rise of the Chinese navy and the series of actions of the Chinese army in Southeast Asia have made the American people feel the crisis, and they hope that the Chinese can resist and defeat the island army, but they never want the Chinese to rise in the war and become the hegemon of Asia.

Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that they have the conspiracy idea of taking advantage of this opportunity to weaken China's strength by the hands of the island army.
