Coming out of Huairentang, Comax and Peters went to the British Embassy, and then, the two were relatively silent.

The Black God Army is a group of bandits, but this is a negotiation between countries, and they didn't do it, but the Black God Army did this, and they really didn't have a way.

For the UK, India cannot afford to lose, and the same is true for the US.

The British colonized India for nearly 200 years, and all aspects have matured, and the amount of materials produced each year is extremely huge, and if the British occupy India, it will greatly enhance the war potential of the capital.

Moreover, India's strategic position is also extremely important, and once it occupies India, it will be able to dominate the Indian Ocean by virtue of its land superiority, and its significance is self-evident.

In addition, the Indians were fighting for reading power under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, and if the Zoben invaded India, even if the Hindu eventually failed, it would seriously shake the British rule in India.

There was no way, they tried their best to avoid the Black God Army borrowing from Yunnan, but the Yunnan needle could not be inserted, not only at the top level, but also at the middle and lower levels.

The eyes of the Black God Army are poisonous without exception, so they can only bow their heads, and they can't help but bow their heads.

"What is this called?" ”

In the room, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Zhang Qun, Song Ziwen, Kong Xiangxi, Chen Guofu, Chen Lifu, Dai Li and others were all indignant.

Chiang Kai-shek's face was even more difficult to see.

The conditions that the Americans and the British promised him are not comparable to the conditions that they promised to the Black God Army, the United States and Britain only promised him some economic benefits, and what promised the Black God Army was land.

What's more, it's just economic, they can't be compared with the Black God Army, it's far behind, compared with the Black God Army, they call Hanako for food.

Moreover, the Black God Army just moved its mouth and asked Long Yun to make way, but it was they who fought desperately with him!

Especially at the beginning, I thought I had taken a big advantage.

This is ridiculous!

However, no matter how ridiculous it is, no matter how indignant it is, there is nothing to be done now, and if you want to survive, you must follow the Americans.

A businessman, if you have milk, you are a mother, this is the businessman's surname.

The Jiangsu-Zhejiang chaebol was originally his foundation, but now, the foundation has begun to loosen, and the scope is not small, which is also the deep reason why he has to move closer to the Americans.

On his own, he is powerless to fight against the Black God Army and [***].

That's the reality.

After everyone shouted for a while, they lost their temper and went to their respective jobs.

Chiang Kai-shek left Dai Li alone.

"Yunong, how are things going?" Glancing at Dai Li, Chiang Kai-shek asked.

"Headmaster, according to your instructions, starting from the grassroots level, there are now seventy-three people, all of them are elites, including twenty-one people in Yunnan, nineteen people in Guangxi, and thirteen people in Guangdong......"

After Dai Li's report, Chiang Kai-shek encouraged Dai Li, and then sent Dai Li.

After Dai Li's departure, Chiang Kai-shek closed his eyes and pondered.

Now, the situation is already obvious, he is inseparable from the Black God Army, [***], and he is at an absolute disadvantage.

If there is no countermeasure, the Black God Army doesn't have to do anything, just throw the bones out one by one, and they can bring him down.

Relying on the United States is necessary, but relying on the United States alone is far from enough.

-- On 23 February 1942, just after 9 a.m., Du Yuming's special plane landed at Kunming Airport.

Du Yuming came to Kunming to meet with Yunnan Provincial Chairman Long Yun.

Du Yuming is the front-line commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and Yunnan is the rear of the Expeditionary Force, so it is necessary for Du Yuming to visit Long Yun before setting out on the expedition.

Although Du Yuming is twenty years younger than Long Yun, but somehow, Long Yun looks at Du Yuming very pleasantly, and the personal relationship between the two has always been good, which is one of the reasons why Chiang Kai-shek chose Du Yuming as the front-line commander of the expeditionary force.

Getting off the special plane, Du Yuming was in high spirits.

As a soldier, especially a young soldier who is full of enthusiasm, who doesn't want to fight on the battlefield with little devils? However, the Black God Army was born, the country quickly settled down, and the only one who had the opportunity to fight the little devils in the future was the Northeast, but, as Chiang Kai-shek's descendant general, Du Yuming was bound to be excluded.

Unexpectedly, the expeditionary force would suddenly be formed, and he turned out to be the front-line commander of the expeditionary force.

In fact, Du Yuming, the front-line commander of the expeditionary force, is the commander of the expeditionary force, and Chen Cheng, the nominal commander of the expeditionary force, is only a name.

After getting the confirmed news, Du Yuming was excited and couldn't sleep all night.

As soon as he poked his head out of the cabin door, Du Yuming saw Long Yun, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Long Yun really gave him face!

Regardless of status or age, Long Yun had no reason to come to pick him up.

Du Yuming hurriedly walked down the suspension ladder and walked quickly towards Long Yun.

"Chairman Long, why are you here in person? It's time to kill the Light Pavilion! When he got closer, Du Yuming hurriedly said.

Looking at Du Yuming, Long Yun sighed in his heart, he came to pick up Du Yuming because he pitied Du Yuming and the soldiers of the expeditionary force.

From the meeting to the end of the reception, Du Yuming never had the opportunity to talk to Long Yun in detail.

After the luncheon, Long Yun invited Du Yuming into his study.

In the study, the fragrance of tea overflows, wafting the unique fragrance of the best Yunnan Pu'er.

After sitting down, Du Yuming picked up the teacup, put it on the end of his nose and sniffed, and said, "It's so fragrant!" ”

Long Yun smiled silently.

After taking a sip and putting down the teacup, Du Yuming said: "Chairman Long, Guangting and hundreds of thousands of soldiers will rely on you vigorously in the future." ”

Long Yun said: "You don't have to worry about materials, but the price is a bit high." ”

Du Yuming smiled, he really learned from someone, Long Yun got close to the Black God Army, and also learned to pluck the goose, especially this "goose" is a foreigner.

Du Yuming said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, Americans have money." ”

After pondering for a moment, Long Yun asked, "Guangting, how do you want to fight this battle?" ”

After a pause, Du Yuming asked, "Chairman Long, what do you mean?" ”

Long Yun said: "Guangting, let's be straight, Mr. Han asked me to give you a word." ”

Du Yuming's expression immediately became solemn, and he asked, "Chairman Long, what did Mr. Han ask you to give me?" ”

Long Yun said: "If the British resist, you will resist; The British run, and you run. ”

After bowing his head and pondering for a long time, Du Yuming raised his head, looked at Long Yun, and asked, "Chairman Long, what does Mr. Han mean by this?" ”

Sighing softly, Long Yun said, "Guangting, do you know the reason for forming an expeditionary force?" ”

Du Yuming was silent, of course he knew the reason for forming the expeditionary force, which can be said to be an extremely depressing thing.

From the point of view of the country as a whole, the expeditionary force certainly has its great significance, but from the point of view of their small group, it is extremely humiliating.

Chiang Kai-shek formed an expeditionary force not for the country, but to hug the thighs of the Americans, so they shed blood and sweat, while the Black God Army did not pull out a dime, but they took the greatest benefits.

Even, even in the supply of materials, it is necessary to scrape a layer of skin.

The more unscrupulous the Black God Army is, the more they appear to be incompetent and shameless.

Seeing that Du Yuming didn't speak, after waiting for a while, Long Yun said again: "Guangting, from Mr. Han's point of view, the expeditionary force is going to be sacrificed. ”

Du Yuming was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Long Yun meant, what Long Yun meant was that once they encountered danger, the Black God Army, that is, the Dian Army, would not come to the rescue.

Angry and sneering, Du Yuming said, "Chairman Long, it's not just their Black God Army who can fight. ”

With a wry smile, Long Yun said: "Guangting, don't be angry, this is not a battle of will. ”

Knowing that he was impulsive, he took a deep breath, and Du Yuming said, "Chairman Long, what do you mean by the Black God Army?" ”

Long Yun said: "The Black God Army hopes that the deeper the foundation is trapped, the better. ”

Du Yuming's anger disappeared all of a sudden, he realized that his pattern was always too small, and he did not look at this problem from the standpoint of the country and the nation.

Obviously, the deeper the Ben is trapped in Southeast Asia, the greater the consumption, and the less resistance it will encounter in the future war to recover the Northeast.

If you want to go deeper, it is naturally best to attack India.

It is said that Ben's invasion of India, whether it is to fight to the death with the British, or to control India after defeating the British, requires great strength.

Using the power of the British to consume the capital to the maximum is undoubtedly the option to maximize the national interest.

With a slight frown, Du Yuming asked, "Chairman Long, what does the Black God Army want us to do?" ”

Slightly raising his head, he sighed softly, and Long Yun said: "Guangting, the only hope of the Black God Army is the sentence that Mr. Han asked me to give you, the expeditionary force is not to cover the escape of the British." ”

Du Yuming's heart hurts, the Black God Army doesn't need them to do anything at all, they are chess pieces in the eyes of the Black God Army, their fate is already doomed, the only thing the Black God Army hopes is that they don't be too cowardly, too stupid, and embarrass the Chinese [***] people.

After a long time, Du Yuming asked with some difficulty: "Chairman Long, is the Black God Army really so optimistic about us?" ”

If they hold Burma, they will not be able to threaten India, and if they cannot threaten India, they will not be able to achieve the deeper goal of trapping India.

Since the Black God Army ignores them, it means that the Black God Army is not optimistic that they can hold Myanmar at all, which makes Du Yuming a little difficult to accept, but the Black God Army's record is there, and the prestige of the Black God Army is not something that he Du Yuming can challenge.

After a deep sigh, Long Yun said: "If it were only us, the possible surname of the person who defended Myanmar would be very large, but with the addition of the British, this possible surname would be very small." ”

It was only at this time that Du Yuming suddenly realized that whether he wanted to or not, the words that the Black God Army asked Long Yun to give him almost collapsed the defense line of Myanmar in advance.

Awesome!

This is the first time Du Yuming has dealt with the Black God Army, and it is an indirect deal, but it is enough to realize how powerful the Black God Army is.

At this time, Long Yun said again: "Guangting, our legions on the front line of Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia will soon retreat. ”

Du Yuming was completely speechless.

The retreat of the legions on the front line of Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia has no military significance, and the significance it embodies is political.

Through this action, the Black God Army made it clear that it would not attack the Northeast, and that it could have safely transferred the army into Southeast Asia.

Of course, he will not be reassured, but this helps them understand the intentions of the Black God Army, and the intention of the Black God Army is to hope that the Black God Army will fight the British.

Under normal circumstances, this doesn't make much sense, but once the military is tight, it will be useful.

Principal Jiang can't compare with Han Lihong, and the Kuomintang can't compare with the Black God Army.

Du Yuming closed his eyes.

After thinking for more than ten minutes, Du Yuming opened his eyes, looked at Long Yun, and asked with a solemn expression: "Chairman Long, if Yueben succeeds in occupying India, then with the material output of such a huge area, Yueben's national strength may grow rapidly. ”

Du Yuming asked this question, Long Yun couldn't help nodding secretly, Du Yuming is a soldier, but he has a certain political acumen, which is not simple.

Shen Shen, Long Yun said: "Guangting, I also asked Mr. Han this question. ”

Du Yuming said: "What did Mr. Han say? ”

Long Yun said: "There are three reasons to ensure that there will be no self-defeating situation. ”

Du Yuming listened quietly.

Long Yun continued: "First, the national strength of the United States is several times that of the previous one, and at most two years, the United States will gain maritime superiority. ”

Du Yuming nodded, he recognized this reason.

Long Yun added: "The second reason is that Ben lacks the colonial experience and administrative ability of the European powers, and they will only use military power to implement harsh military rule. This method of governance is both inefficient and inevitably provokes local revolt, and the combination of the two would have limited access to supplies. ”

"Third, if the first two factors fail to prevent Yuben from increasing his national strength, then the Black God Army will send troops."

"Ugh." Du Yuming couldn't help sighing.

-- Meimiao Mountain, between Lashio and Mandalay, is picturesque and has a warm climate, and is a favorite summer resort for the British, who have built a typical colonial-style summer manor here.

In the manor, with its carpeted lawns and red brick buildings nestled in greenery, the Governor's Palace Flagpole Building is the most striking building in the manor, and the British Army Headquarters is now located in this building.

On 1 March, Allied Commander Stilwell and generals such as Du Yuming, Sun Liren, and Dai Anlan rushed here.

With his back to the building, surrounded by a group of heroic staff officers, the commander of the British army, General Alexander, watched the group of soldiers who got out of the jeep.

Seeing this luxurious scene, everyone was stunned, and in the eyes of General Alexander, everyone felt that they had become called Hanako.

After reacting, Du Yuming shook his head unconsciously.

This Alexander general was famous, and was known as an invincible heroic general during the Dunkirk retreat, so at this time of crisis, he was appointed by Churchill as the patron saint of Burma.

But now, the patron saint of Myanmar is not at all a battle-hardened general, but an all-eyed Royal Guard officer.

Looking at Alexander, Stilwell was even more tired, and under the gaze of this Alexander's general, he felt as if he had just crawled out from under the stones.

With the arrival of Stilwell, the British command became the Allied command.

In the palatial conference room, the first Allied military conference was held under the chairmanship of Stilwell.

Stilwell, who had crawled out from under the rocks, sat at the first place, and on the right side of the long table sat the British generals headed by Alexander the Guardsmen, and on the left sat the Chinese generals led by Du Yuming.

Stilwell's face was solemn.

At the end of January, 18,000 Japanese troops defeated 30,000 well-armed British troops, allowing them to easily capture Mawlamyine, Burma's second-largest port city.

Immediately, the army divided into two routes, all the way to Yangon, the capital of Myanmar, and all the way to Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar.

Only then did the British get in a hurry.

Churchill will not turn to the Americans unless it is absolutely necessary, because the Chinese are the guns in the hands of the Americans, and letting the Chinese in is equivalent to letting the Americans in.

It is easy to please God, but it is difficult to send God.

However, Churchill overestimated the bravery of the soldiers of the British Empire, and in the face of the facts, he could not afford not to lower the arrogant braincase of the rooster.

Myanmar is important, India is a hundred times more important than Myanmar.

At the beginning of the meeting, a handsome British staff officer introduced the battle situation, and when the staff officer finished introducing the recent battle situation, Stilwell glanced at the generals on both sides and said: "Now the battle situation is like this, everyone has any ideas, talk about it." ”

"General Stilwell, we don't have enough troops, and we need to rest now." General Alexander said in a subdued tone.

The crowd was impressed.

The demeanor of this Royal Guard officer seemed to be talking about the invincible majesty of the British Empire, and when he said this, he didn't even look at Du Yuming on the other side.

The meaning of Alexander's words was nothing more than to let the Chinese go up, they withdrew, the corners of Stilwell's mouth pouted, he did not say anything about Alexander's words, looked at Du Yuming, and asked: "General Du, what do you think?" ”

Alexander was arrogant, and Du Yuming looked down on the British.

If the Black God Army hadn't been born, at this time, although Du Yuming looked down on Alexander, his confidence would still be insufficient, but now, it's different, Du Yuming's confidence is very strong.

In the face of the Black God Army, Du Yuming has mixed tastes, but in the face of the British, Du Yuming is a simple Chinese, and the glory of the Black God Army is also his glory, without a trace of impurities.

Du Yuming said: "General Stilwell, I agree with what General Alexander said, in that case, the British army will be in charge of the west road, and we will be in charge of the middle and east roads. ”

Nodding slightly, Stilwell looked at Alexander and asked, "General Alexander, what do you see?" ”

What else to watch? Alexander only nodded.

At the meeting, Du Yuming did not relay Han Lihong's "If the British resist, you will resist; The British run, you also run".

Du Yuming didn't say it, but deep down in his heart he had agreed with Han Lihong's proposition: let Yueben invade India and trap Yueben in India.

If he did, he might force the British to fight to the death with him.

That's how it is to fight a war, it depends on one breath, and the equipment of the British is not inferior to that of the British, and once the morale of the British is out, it is difficult to say the result.

What's more, to say such things is to ask for trouble, not only for President Jiang, but also for himself.

This kind of thing, boiling dumplings in a teapot, just know it in your heart.
