On the second day of the weapons acceptance and test firing, Zhao Zhi received a telegram from Old Rhodes in Florida, saying that the US military had sent people to the Rockman family's arsenal, along with an order for weapons from the US military. This is indeed good news, no less than Zhao Zhi's joy at learning that Joey's armored division has taken Sukhothai, which shows that the scene played for Roger and them yesterday has worked.

A large number of arms sales can bring huge benefits to the Rockman family and Zhao Zhi, and perhaps not only that, but at the same time, the Rockman family can obtain a higher status and opportunity to expand its power in the United States, and Zhao Zhi can also obtain friendship from the US military. The good news makes Zhao Zhi feel good today, if it weren't for the telegram from China, maybe Zhao Zhi's good mood would have lasted until he went to bed at night.

With the recovery of Shanxi and the advance of 200,000 Burmese mercenaries to Shandong and Henan, the Japanese army also immediately made troop adjustments, but with the landing of American troops in South Asia, the Japanese troops in China had to make a move to stick to the existing occupied areas, because they had to transfer a number of troops to support the South Asian theater.

It was not only Zhao Zhi and various anti-Japanese forces who paid attention to the movements of the Japanese army, but also a US military coordination group that entered China with US military aid, and in order to reduce the pressure on the US military in South Asia, they have been urging the Nationalist Government to carry out a major counteroffensive. ", just give weapons and equipment that can arm 2 divisions and make a big counteroffensive, do these Americans know how many Japanese troops there are in China? Unless those mechanics are sharpshooters who can kill a Japanese soldier with a single bullet. Yan Wudao grumbled angrily, and even the eyes that looked at Roger with him were much colder.

"Man, it's not my fault, you can't look at me like that." Roger looked at Yan Wudao with very innocent eyes, the interaction with the mercenaries in the past few days has made the relationship between Roger and Yan Wudao no longer stalemate, Roger's familiarity with various weapons and understanding of positional warfare has made him gain a trace of favor from the mercenaries, if he is given more time and opportunities, Roger may be able to get more information about Thunder from the mercenaries.

"Okay, I know it's okay with you, but can you send a telegram to your stupid companions, the big counteroffensive is not as simple as they think, it can't be done with weapons and ammunition alone, and you need to wait for a suitable time, otherwise everything is just empty talk." Zhao Zhi also glanced at Roger, this foreign devil has been very prosperous in the past few days, Zhao Zhi is a little disliked that Roger is too close to his mercenaries.

In response to Zhao Zhi's suggestions and questions, Roger was somewhat perfunctory in containing and attracting Japanese troops in the Chinese theater, which was a quid pro quo for the United States to provide military aid to the Nationalist Government. If the US military wants to land in Europe and fight without losing control of South Asia, it will become imperative to win over China, because only China's anti-Japanese armed forces can contain the possibility of a large number of Japanese troops moving south, and Roger is only a lieutenant colonel, and he cannot refute the decisions that Congress has already made.

"Sir, what shall we do now?" Seeing that Roger did not directly answer and express his position, Yan Wudao asked urgently, the telegram of the Nationalist Government mentioned the intention of wanting Thunder to return to China to resist the war, Yan Wudao knew that Zhao Zhi had a good personal relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, but now is not the time to talk about personal relations, the future development of this non-commissioned officer Thunder and everyone's future. "Joey's armored division continues to move south after taking Sukhothai, and if we withdraw at this time, the good situation that everyone has worked so hard for many days will be in vain."

"Did I say I'm going to withdraw?" Zhao Zhi gave Yan Wudao a roll of his eyes, "You are already the commander in command of the mercenaries, you can calm down when you want to learn to deal with problems, the telegram of the Ministry of Military Affairs only has this meaning, but they did not clearly put forward the intention of asking us to return to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, I think their original intention should just be to ask us to help make some suggestions, not to participate in it, there is only so much meat in the bowl, there are more people who eat meat, everyone will not be full." ”

"I understand" Zhao Zhi's last sentence made Yan Wudao have an epiphany, when he attacked Taiyuan City at night, didn't Thunder suffer such a loss? There are many factions in the national army, and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek has devoted his whole life to recovering power from the central government, but it is a pity that the bigwigs of all parties who hold military power refuse to lose the power in their hands, and if all the forces can really achieve unity, the Japanese army that invaded China may have been driven out of China long ago, and there is still a need for the Americans to come and point fingers.

"Order, one squadron of fighters and one squadron of bombers to immediately transfer to Qinglongping, let Dazhi transfer all the 120,000 Burmese who have recently trained to Shanxi for training, and let Mo Lun seize the time to transport the weapons and ammunition we have captured from the Thai army to Shanxi to equip the Burmese troops. Thunder's direct troops can't be mobilized, but we can increase the number of Burmese mercenary troops participating in the war, and I don't think the bigwigs of the national army will run to Xiao Ziyun because of these Burmese troops. After a little consideration, Zhao Zhi finally made a decision.

The telegram of the Ministry of Military Affairs only slightly mentioned the intention of wanting Thunder to return to China to participate in the war, but it was not directly expressed, they meant that they were simply refusing Thunder to return to China. Zhao Zhi is not a stupid person, he can naturally see what those guys in the Ministry of Military Affairs mean, the first batch of military aid provided by the US army this time can only equip two divisions, and Chiang Kai-shek has all been used by the descendant troops, and the bigwigs from all walks of life have not even fished for a hair, and the fairies and Americans are urging a big counteroffensive, and they naturally want to wait to see Chiang Kai-shek's embarrassment.

What is the combat power of Thunder, these military bigwigs all know it, and they also know that Zhao Zhi has a very good personal relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, if they want to get a piece of the pie in the follow-up military aid, it is only their first step to prevent Thunder from returning to China to help the war, maybe they will try their best to restrict the actions of the American mechanic in the next time. If you win, you will lose, this is an indisputable fact of the current war of resistance against the enemy, Zhao Zhi will not offend those military forces on the surface, but he can send more Burmese troops into China to help the war of resistance, I think those bigwigs will not turn against the thunder for the sake of some Burmese.

The number of Burmese mercenaries under the control of Xiao Ziyun and others has increased to 180,000, and with the 120,000 Burmese soldiers trained by Yu Dazhi in Mandalay, the number of Burmese mercenaries entering the Chinese theater will reach 300,000. According to the scale of the A division in the national army, the 300,000 Burmese mercenaries already have almost 15 divisions, which is just the size of three group armies, and Thunder can provide them with weapons and ammunition that can equip 200,000 soldiers at most.

"Tell Joey to give some of the Japanese artillery he has hoarded to Mo Lun and transport it away, so that Xiao Ziyun's firepower is too weak." Zhao Zhike had heard many complaints from the Jewish troops cleaning the battlefield, and every time they cleaned the battlefield, the machine guns and heavy weapons of the Japanese and Thai troops were gone. Moren searched for a long time and found that these heavy weapons were all in Joey's armored division, all loaded in the trucks that transported the infantry escort for the armored division, and Joey also said that it was to strengthen the ground assault firepower of the armored division, but made Moren laugh at Joey for being more greedy for money than him.

Zhao Zhi did not want to obstruct the major counteroffensive plan proposed by the US Coordination Group, he just thought that it was not yet the best time, and although the Thunder Infiltrator plan had lowered the level of military production in Japan to the lowest point, Japan had established military production plants of various sizes in South Asian countries, not to mention that the Japanese army in China had exceeded one million. Relying only on four American mechanics and various anti-Japanese armed forces using bolt-action rifles to contain and defeat the Japanese army at home, I am afraid it will not be so easy, and the slightest carelessness will lose the current good situation.

With Roger present, Zhao Zhi's other arrangements were not said in person, and it was not as simple as more than 120,000 Burmese mercenaries and fighter planes that Zhao Zhi transferred to the Chinese theater. When Zhao Zhi returned to Burma from Europe, he not only brought back a large number of ready-to-install European-style tanks and armored vehicles, but also a large number of damaged artillery tanks, which have been stored in the armored factory warehouse of the Kunming base, and a large number of Jewish technicians have been trying their best to repair these heavy equipment, so far, the armored base in Kunming has repaired more than 40 European-style tanks, although they are slightly worse than the performance of the new factory, but it is more than enough to deal with the Japanese tanks.

Joey's armored division trained a group of armored soldiers for Chiang Kai-shek, and just happened to follow these European tanks back to China to participate in the war, and Zhao Zhi planned to hand over all these European tanks to the armored forces that Chiang Kai-shek was preparing to form. Counting the heavy machine gun armored vehicles that have been produced at the Kunming base, the number of combat vehicles owned by Chiang Kai-shek's armored force will reach 70, and an armored force of this scale should not be easily defeated by the Japanese army.

"Go and prepare, let Mo Lun start transporting supplies to Shanxi immediately." Ignoring Roger's words, Zhao Zhi left the headquarters with the escort mercenaries and Yan Wudao, and the next arrangements and arrangements were Thunder's secrets, and Roger, an outsider, was not qualified to participate in it. After glancing at Mary, Roger went to Morun's logistics camp under the pretext of getting the specific numbers of material transportation, and it was not difficult for Roger to figure out the content of Thunder's next move.
