。 Qb (5), COM \ (зZcncom) According to the agreement reached between Mrs. and the government of your country, the reorganization of the ** team by you, I don't know what your plans are Bai Chongxi knows that the real purpose of Chen Cheng and He Yingqin is not Chennault, they are more concerned about the reorganization.

According to general estimates, the troops should welcome the reorganization, because after the reorganization, the troops will be redressed according to the US military establishment, but they did not expect that when the news of Chen Cheng presiding over the reorganization came, the commanders of all theaters invariably adopted a passive attitude of resistance. In addition to the generals of the civil engineering department and some generals of the Central Army, such as Song Xiyuan, Hu Zongnan, Wang Jingjiu, and Qiu Qingquan, who are considered descendants of Chiang Kai-shek, clearly expressed their willingness to reorganize, and other generals refused to reorganize, especially the generals of the miscellaneous army, and Chen Cheng was unwilling to reorganize the Gui troops who were willing to carry out the reorganization.

So, so far, the reorganization is still loud and rainy; Not even a single army has yet to be determined, Chen Cheng is simply a little anxious, and Chiang Kai-shek is also very dissatisfied, so today is to summon them to discuss...... It depends on how much power the Chairman gives me. Shi Qiwei said very bluntly, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi scolded in their hearts almost at the same time, but Chen Cheng appreciated it more, if this is a Chinese general, he will not mention it at all, even if he wants to say it, it will be very tactful.

"The squadron must be reorganized. Especially the senior officers, they must change their thinking and have a stronger offensive spirit Shi Qiwei's tone was indignant, but He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi pouted in their hearts almost at the same time. Stilwell's words are obvious, but the Battle of Lashio proved that Shi Qiwei's ability to grasp the battlefield was far inferior to Zhuang Jihua, and it was the latter's astuteness that avoided a major defeat and won a big victory.

"So what do you mean?" He Yingqin asked thoughtfully, his eyes flickering, as if he was worried.

"I ask for the power to appoint senior officers, and besides, the reorganized troops must be under my command"! Stilwell didn't hesitate to throw out his idea.

After Bai Chongxi heard this, a trace of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth, but soon this trace of mockery disappeared. He understood Shi Qiwei's purpose, but Shi Qiwei did not understand China. I don't understand Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek can't hand over this power to someone else, even Chen Cheng won't.

It seems that the reorganization is not so easy, Bai Chongxi no longer said anything, there is nothing to ask, but He Yingqin smiled and said: "General Shi Qiwei." It is the duty of the Ministry of Military Affairs to appoint the commander of the troops, and I am afraid that no country will give such power to anyone else. ”

Shi Qiwei shook his head, with a resolute look on his face: "General He, I know that this involves the power of some departments of your country, but I am the chief of staff of the Chinese Theater, and I think I should have such power." ”

He Yingqin shook his head slightly, if Shi Qiwei wants to do this, the whole army will definitely have another twist and turn. Chen Cheng also shook his head slightly after hearing this. Shi Qiwei saw that the three Chinese generals did not agree. So he raised his head with some pride and refused to say anything more.

The atmosphere in the waiting room became a little awkward, but Xiao Zanyu soon appeared at the door and invited them to Chiang Kai-shek's office together.

As soon as Stilwell got off the plane, he went to the Huangshan Mansion. This came as a bit of a surprise to Chiang Kai-shek, but the reorganization of the army was the most important thing at present, and Stilwell was the candidate proposed by the American side, and many things had to be discussed with him and his opinions had to be listened to.

But after Shi Qiwei made his request, Chiang Kai-shek was surprised: "General Stilwell." The reintegration of the troops is an agreement reached between China and the United States. I would like to know what specific ideas you have, and as for the powers, I will give you the right powers. However, the authority to select commanders can only be unceremoniously taken over by the Chinese government: "Mr. Chairman, I think that many Chinese generals are not suitable to be commanders, they have no enterprising spirit, and the Chinese soldiers are heroic, but their commanders have failed their bravery. Mr. Chairman, we should select those good commanders with an offensive spirit and remove those who are timid and cowardly. ”

Looking at the slightly excited Stilwell little Chiang Kai-shek's brows furrowed, he wanted to get angry a little, but in the end he suppressed it, he snorted kissing, and asked in a slow tone: "General Shi Qiwei, I don't know." How did you come to the conclusion that our generals have what you call that they are not aggressive, that they do not have initiative? ”

"It's simple, Burma battlefield." Without the slightest reservation, Shi Qiwei blurted out: "After the great victory of Lashio, if we take advantage of the victory and counterattack, I think we have recaptured Yangon, but it is a pity that the sacrifice of the Chinese troops was wasted by their cowardly commanders." ”

No, Chiang Kai-shek shook his head resolutely: "The great victory of Lashio and the elimination of 100,000 Japanese troops were obtained under the command of General Zhuang Jihua, and it is impossible for a cowardly general to achieve such a brilliant victory." What do you say?

Stilwell was speechless, but then he retorted: "Chairman, the great victory of Lashio is very fortuitous, and I can't explain anything. ”

Zi Chongxi chuckled lightly, and retorted a little meanly: "General Shi Qiwei, we are all clear before and after the First World War in Burma, and I am afraid that it is not an accident that Baige is victorious. The results speak for themselves

A flash of red flashed on Stilwell's face, but he stubbornly raised his head and said loudly: "The gains and losses of the Burma battle still need to be discussed, in fact, if we defeat the main force of the Japanese army in Mandalay, the Japanese army interspersed with Lashio will be in a desperate situation."

"War is not if". He Yingqin also interjected: "In fact, the British army failed at Ren'anqiang, and the left flank of Mandalay was already broken by the Japanese army

Chen Cheng also joined the condemnation: "General Shi Qiwei, you think that Lashio should be counterattacked immediately after the victory, but you did not take into account the situation of our army, in fact, our army does not have the conditions for a counterattack. And the victory in Lashio has stabilized the situation in Myanmar and bought us time, and now every day passes. Japan will be weak, and we will be stronger; This is the principle of using soldiers to make peace and win with wonder. ”

The three Chinese generals fought back against Stilwell at the same time, and Stilwell felt a little lonely, and the feeling he had when he was in Lashio came back to him, and that great victory shook his position in the hearts of Chinese generals, unquestionable.

Chiang Kai-shek came out at this time, and he said to Shi Qiwei with a gentle demeanor: "General Shi Qiwei, I will give you a lot of power, but you must tell me your specific plan."

Stilwell was very disappointed, but he was still very tenacious: "Mr. Chairman, what happened to Myanmar has made me understand that your authority is not so strong, you don't have enough power, I will do nothing in China, and according to the agreement between China and the United States, I have the right to command all squadrons."

"No one denies your power, Chiang Kai-shek is a little angry, what do you Stilwell look at the Chinese government? Do you want to put the Chinese government under your command to be satisfied: "Don't forget, however, that you are only my chief of staff. I am the commander of the Chinese theater of operations

However, Chairman of the Committee, according to the Sino-US agreement, I am in charge of reorganizing the squadron, and I must have the authority to complete this work Stilwell regretted it very much, and there was a hint of threat in his tone: "If there is not enough power. All I can say is that I don't have the confidence to do the job, and I can only report to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Ask them to choose another talent. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was furious when he heard this, and he wanted to tell Shi Qiwei that if you don't do it, we can find another person, but when he thought of Stilwell's right to distribute US aid materials in his hands, he had to suppress the anger in his heart, but the only enthusiasm on his face had disappeared without a trace: "General Shi Qiwei, I want you to be cautious, President Roosevelt and General Marshall are very appreciative of our country's strategy, but to implement this strategy, it is necessary to organize at least one million troops." The work is arduous and urgent. It has to start right away. So be it. I give you the right to recommend. However, the right to appoint must and can only be the Ministry of Military Affairs of the National Government

Stilwell was silent, he heard the unhappiness in Chiang Kai-shek's tone, but what happened to Burma made him unforgettable, and the Chinese generals in the expeditionary force simply regarded him as nothing, and if such a situation occurred again in the reorganization, then he could no longer stay in China, and could only return home with shame.

Now Chiang Kai-shek's attitude is clear. If he insists, then it can only be reported to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the two sides will resolve it at the political level. But this is what he does not want. After a moment of contemplation, Shi Qiwei decided to take a step back for the time being. He looked up at Chiang Kai-shek: "Well, I will submit a report to you as soon as possible."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded lightly, he thought for a while and asked: "General Shi Qiwei, at present, the US aid materials can reach 10,000 tons per month, and once the reorganization begins, these materials will not be able to guarantee the reorganization of the troops." So I hope to increase it to 40,000 tons as soon as possible, and I hope to open up the China-India highway as soon as possible

With the loss of Rangoon and the interruption of US aid supplies for a time, the Chinese side quickly mobilized transportation forces and opened up a material transportation route through the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. However, the United States and Britain, especially Britain, made many difficulties, and it was not until Roosevelt intervened that Britain reluctantly agreed to a transportation route through India, but the British used the excuse of counterattacking Burma to intercept most of the materials allocated to China, so that the supplies entering China were greatly reduced, which made Chiang Kai-shek very worried.

Stilwell knew that U.S. aid was his biggest support. If this satisfies China's needs, it will be more difficult for him to gain China's trust.

"Please rest assured, Chairman of the Committee, General Marshall has sent me a letter to increase the share of supplies on the Chinese side to 50,000 tons per month, but the problem is that the Sichuan-Tibet Highway alone is thousands of kilometers long, and it takes a month to make a round trip, and to reach 50,000 tons per month, at least 2,000 trucks are needed, and we are currently providing only 600 trucks. Less than a third of what is needed. I think the best way to increase supplies is to reclaim Rangoon and reopen the Yunnan-Burma road. ”
