Chapter 150: Waiting for the Price to Sell
"My lord, it's time to get up for breakfast, don't go to sleep" Rowling, who smiled like a smile, reached out and pinched Zhao Zhi's nose and pulled Zhao Zhi, who was pretending to be asleep, up from the bed. How could Zhao Zhi suffer this loss, he pressed Rowling on the bed and bullied her, and then got up and dressed to temporarily let go of Rowling, who had refused to surrender.
"Grandpa sent a telegram from there, saying that Chief of Staff Marshall had taken someone to the manor, and they wanted us to continue the melee with the Japanese army, and try to delay the Japanese army's action of transferring troops from the Chinese battlefield to the Pacific theater, I guess this was President Roosevelt's idea" Rowling arranged Zhao Zhi's collar while analyzing Marshall's move to Florida in a low voice.
"Is it possible" Zhao Zhi handed the towel to Rowling and sat down at the table with a smile, "They saw that the Japanese army took the initiative to withdraw from Burma and couldn't sit still, and the U.S. troops on the Philippine side were just able to take a few breaths, and now they have to continue to drill into the forest, they should not be able to sit still" Regarding this reaction of the United States, Zhao Zhi has obviously already considered it, so he will speak lightly, and there is nothing new.
"Then how is Grandpa's reply from there?" Rowling didn't go as far as Zhao Zhi thought.
Zhao Zhi took a big bite of the omelette, and then said slowly, "Don't worry, old Rhodes knows how to reply to those politicians, as for our answer, it is very simple, we need to rest after the war, let them be anxious for a few more days, and we will not suffer if we negotiate the price" The Japanese troops in Burma have withdrawn, and the Burmese guerrillas who are not fighting with the thunder have all been transferred to repair roads and railways, and the main towns along the Yunnan-Burma Highway are all guarded by Jewish troops and mercenaries, and the clouds of war seem to have left Burma, At this time, Zhao Zhi was completely an aristocratic lord, and he only traveled all day long.
Rowling, who obeyed Zhao Zhiyan, saw that her men said this, so she naturally forgot about the matter, which made the United States on the other side of the ocean anxious. "Bob, you go to contact the Lockman family, just say that I will go to Florida tomorrow to stay for a few days, I hope old Rod can accompany me to dinner" Roosevelt in the wheelchair was a little haggard, and the Rockman family did not reply for a long time, which made Roosevelt a little anxious, and simply chose to use Florida to inspect the shipyard as an excuse to take the opportunity to meet the head of the Lockman family, Old Rod.
The president's office immediately notified the Florida government and the Rockman family on Roosevelt's orders, and early the next morning, Roosevelt boarded a plane to Florida, this time with Chief of Staff Marshall and some military personnel. As for what Roosevelt and old Rod said in the garden, no one knows except for the two parties, anyway, when Roosevelt left the Rockman family's manor, he left with a smile on his face, and old Rode's face was not bad.
"Inform the officers above the regimental level to come to me for a meeting, the officers of the recruit training camp must also attend the meeting, and the mercenary unit will be on normal alert and training" received a telegram from the United States, and Zhao Zhi, who had been lazy for several days, was unusually going to hold a meeting, and Xiao Ziyun and they were transferred to the regiment instructed by Zhao Zhi. The tense atmosphere began to envelop the entire command headquarters, and the combat staff officers were busy, and no one knew what Zhao Zhi wanted to do with this move, but they guessed that Thunder was going to make a big move again.
Jeeps with yellow dust in their tails drove into Zhao Zhi's headquarters, and the officers who came to the meeting began to greet acquaintances, and Joey, the commander of the armored division, was also one of them. "Yan, what did the boss call us for? Is it going to be a war with the Japanese monkeys again? Pretending to be mysterious, Joey held half of Yan Wudao's shoulders and put on a familiar face to find out the news from Yan Wudao.
"Don't ask me, I was called back for a meeting when I was training in the mountains with my troops, I don't know anything, or you can ask Mr. directly" Yan Wudao smiled and pushed Joey, who was covered in sweat, and touched the whole pack of cigarettes in Joey's jacket pocket. "Old Joe, I guess you can ask Chrissie, that little lady has been following Madame, she must know what Mr. is doing when he summons us back."
Chrissy is the captain of Rowling's female guards, and she is also the best blue one among the female soldiers, but Joey has suffered under her, so as soon as Yan Wudao mentioned Chrissy, the smug Joey immediately became a good baby, and no longer pestered Yan Wudao to inquire about the news. "Are you all here?" Zhao Zhiren arrived before the voice arrived, and the chaotic conference room immediately quieted down, and the officers who were talking and laughing sat up straight one by one, and Zhao Zhi, who was dressed in military uniform, entered the conference room.
"Yes, it seems that everyone's complexion is good, and they have had a good rest these days" Looking around, looking at the full complexion of the officers, Zhao Zhi nodded with some satisfaction. "The Japanese army has been withdrawn from the whole territory of Burma, and the whole of Burma has come under our thunder control, but we can't rest yet, because we are mercenaries, and we have accepted the mercenary of the United States, so we still have to fight and know that this war is over"
Luo Ying, who was standing behind Zhao Zhi, unfolded the large map on the wide table, Zhao Zhi pointed to the map on the table with his baton, "The U.S. military has been entangled with the Japanese combined fleet in the naval battle, and the U.S. military in the South Asian theater is retreating, and the Japanese army does not want to be entangled with the U.S. military for too long, and they intend to want to draw troops from the Chinese battlefield to support the ground forces that completely defeat the U.S. army in the Pacific theater." So our job came, and the U.S. government hired us to continue to fight the main forces of the Japanese army in the Chinese theater, and to delay as much as possible the Japanese army's operation to withdraw troops to support the Pacific theater."
"But we can't do it in vain? The military aid that the United States said to us last time is still half short, and if you want us to send troops, you can ask them to give us what they owed us last time."
"You're just a little kid" Zhao Zhi glared at Mo Lun fiercely, reprimanded a few words, and forced Mo Lun to shut up. "Weapons and equipment, we don't lack it at all now, just the weapons and equipment left behind when the Japanese army evacuated are enough for us to arm another 150,000 troops, not to mention the materials in the secret warehouse of the British army, even without American military aid, our own materials are enough to maintain all the troops of Thunder for half a year of fighting, and the conditions offered by the United States are not small."
The baton in Zhao Zhi's hand moved on the map, and finally landed in a place that no one expected, "This place belongs to North Korea, called Jeju Island, and is now occupied by Japan, with an area of about 2,000 square kilometers, and it is a place where spring is like spring all year round. It takes less than 2 hours to fly from Jeju Island to Japan, and it only takes 5 hours to enter Japan's territorial waters by boat, and Jeju Island is not only close to the Korean mainland, but also close to the coast of China, so it is a good place."
Listening to Zhao Zhi's long list of introductions, Joey, who was quite bored, was a little anxious, "Boss, what does it have to do with this hellish island that you called us to a meeting?" Could it be that the North Koreans will give us this small island as a holiday beach? Joey's words drew laughter from the foreign officers, and Westerners love beach vacations, and these Jews are no exception.
"Yes, as long as we accept the employment of the United States, this Jeju Island is ours" Zhao Zhi did not stop the officers from laughing, but just took out a cigar and clamped it in his hand. "Unlike Myanmar, Jeju Island will be completely owned by our thunder, unless we don't want it, even North Korea can't take it back, which is a prerequisite for us to accept the United States' employment" Zhao Zhi's words made the officers in the conference room instantly fall into madness, especially Yan Wudao and the Chinese officers.
For thousands of years, the Chinese have regarded land as the foundation, which of the Chinese with a little money in their hands did not buy land first, and the Chinese mercenaries who followed Zhao Zhinan's expedition to the north were not just to fight devils, they still had a dream of land in their hearts, and everyone wanted to wait for the war to go home and buy hundreds of acres of land to be a big rich man in a down-to-earth manner. Now, as soon as my husband made a move, he got back an island with an area of 2,000 square kilometers, and the anxious Yan Wudao was already pulling Qiao Yi to calculate how many acres of land the 2,000-square-meter highway was.
"Jeju Island is only part of the remuneration paid to us by the United States, in addition, we can also get a batch of large transport planes, bombers and fighter planes free of charge, the number of fighters is enough for us to equip three more flight groups" Zhao Zhi held a long list in his hand, which was densely recorded with the supplies that the United States had promised to aid the Thunder.
The meeting lasted all morning, and Zhao Zhi and his officers discussed many plans, and finally discussed three sets of plans. First, it is better to give full play to the tactical tactics that Thunder is good at, and turn the Chinese battlefield to fight with the Japanese army. Second, the fighter plane unit went north to directly parachute into Korea through the Soviet Union, taking advantage of Korea's geographical location across the sea to threaten the Japanese mainland and force the Japanese army to send troops back to Korea. Third, along the Yunnan-Guichuan River eastward into the coast of Fujian and Guangdong, looking for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army and attract the attention of the Japanese army.
Zhao Zhi thought about it for a long time, and finally decided that the troops should be ready to be deployed at any time, but he did not issue a specific plan. "Don't worry, Thunder is now a delicious steak to be sold at a price, Roosevelt wants to eat my steak, so naturally he must be prepared to pay a big price, before the price is negotiated, this steak does not belong to anyone" Zhao Zhi's original words to Rowling compared Thunder to a steak to be sold at a price, which caused Rowling to laugh non-stop, but the current situation is really like this.
