China's first offshore fleet

Negotiations continued, and Admiral Stilwell pointed to a huge map of the world and told Liu Hua about the different outcomes of the Pacific War that would have different implications for the whole of China. Liu Hua's thoughts have already been put into his own hands on how to get all the heavy industries in Myanmar out of the hands of the United States.

"Commander-in-Chief Liu, it is conceivable that if the Japanese government finally gets the shengli of the Pacific War. Then, the entire Pacific region will become the backyard of the Japanese Navy. At that time, the Japanese army, which has no opponent, will inevitably redirect its forces to China, which has just been at peace for a short time, after a period of development and growth. At that time, the whole of China will face an even more fierce attack by the Japanese army...."

"In order for your country to never again be invaded, and for your country to be able to enjoy peace forever, you must support the Allies and achieve the shengli of the entire Pacific War. And if you want to win the Shengli of the Pacific War, the elite of the 600,000 Japanese troops on the Chinese battlefield must not go to the Pacific Ocean....Therefore, Commander-in-Chief Liu, I implore you to cancel the negotiations with the Japanese government and continue to gather forces to destroy the remaining 600,000 Japanese troops on the Chinese battlefield. ”

After some reasoned explanations, Admiral Stilwell quickly brought the topic to the topic of the negotiation. looked at Liu Hua in front of him and said sincerely.

In the face of Admiral Stilwell's insightful insights, Liu Hua, who came from later generations, had to admire his in-depth insights. However, it is one thing to agree in your heart, and quite another to say it in your mouth.

He knew very well that the ultimate goal of this negotiation was not to really release the 600,000 elite Japanese troops on the Chinese battlefield. Because, at this moment, not only himself, but all the Chinese people, will not agree to let these 600,000 executioners stained with the blood of the Chinese people go out of China safely.

And if you want to achieve the ultimate goal of the negotiation... Take advantage of the delicate situation in the Pacific theater to get the maximum benefit from the United States and Japan. You have to make your opponent feel that the weight in your hands is invincible. Let the opponent feel that if he does not agree to his demands, he has only one way to perish.

So, Liu Hua had to speak against his will:

"General Stilwell, I have to admit that your opinion is very reasonable. However, I can also see that if the entire Pacific War ends with the Japanese shengli. Then, it is not only China itself that will be attacked again by the Japanese army. Even your own country will be attacked by the Japanese army. When the time comes, your country will be faced with the armies of the two fascist powers, Japan and Germany, at the same time....I believe that such an outcome is definitely not what your country and its president want to see. ”

Liu Hua's answer was very sharp, like a loud slap in the face, and it hit Stilwell hard. However, even so, Admiral Stilwell could not say a word, because, in his opinion, what Liu Hua said was almost not false....

A few minutes later, under the gaze of Liu Hua's eyes that could almost see through people's hearts. General Stilwell had to nod his head and acquiesce to what Liu Hua said. Then, with a long sigh, he spoke.

"Commander-in-Chief Liu, I have to reiterate once again that you are worthy of being an excellent negotiator....In that case, please ask Commander-in-Chief Liu to speak clearly. What kind of conditions and demands are needed for your government to agree to our request and terminate negotiations with Japan? At the same time, continue to send troops to wipe out the remnants of the 600,000 Japanese troops in China..."

In the face of Admiral Stilwell's directness, Liu Hua did not hesitate and spoke directly. ..., "In that case, General Stilwell, you should also be aware of the current situation between our and our armies. In the next battle, if our army wants to completely annihilate the 600,000 Japanese elites, it must launch one siege battle after another. In order to attack the city, it is necessary to use a large number of heavy artillery and aircraft. And you know the equipment of my squadron. Therefore, I hope that your country will provide our army with sufficient support of heavy artillery, aircraft and corresponding ammunition ...."

"Of course, according to the current strength of my ** team, the entire battle will last at least half a year. In order to ensure that our team will have sufficient heavy weapons and ammunition within half a year, I would like to ask the government of your country to donate all the arsenals and heavy industrial factories in Myanmar to our country free of charge in the shortest possible time. Of course, all the technicians in the factory will also serve us for a certain amount of time until our own technicians have mastered all the production technology..."

These arsenals, for the current China, are behemoths. However, for the United States, it is a drop in the bucket. After less than five seconds of thought, General Stilwell replied very firmly:

'Commander-in-Chief Liu, on behalf of the United States Government, I agree with your first suggestion. Once the negotiations are concluded, your country can send personnel to Myanmar to move these equipment and factories. In addition, I will once again make my own decisions, and all kinds of weapons and ammunition stored in the major arsenals will also be sent to your country, hoping that your country can use these weapons and ammunition to kill more enemies on the battlefield..."

"Then thank you, General Stilwell," Liu Hua replied affirmatively.

"Commander-in-Chief Liu, I have promised the first one. So, please tell me about your next conditions. Admiral Stilwell asked.

"Admiral Stilwell, you should be aware that our navy has existed in name only since the beginning of the war. It is safe to say that even if our first team completely annihilates the remaining 600,000 Japanese troops in the territory, we will not have enough navy to protect our country's long coastline. Therefore, I hope that your government can support some of our ships, help our country, and form our country's first offshore fleet to protect our country's long coastline..."

"The formation of the offshore fleet ... Commander-in-Chief Liu, I have to say that you, as an army general who has never set foot in the navy, are still very new to the navy. You must know that in order for a fleet to truly form combat effectiveness, it not only needs enough ships and naval officers and sailors, but also needs a large number of supporting facilities, such as military ports, ship repair plants, and ammunition production plants..."

"Of course, as for the supporting facilities, I believe that after your ** team completely annihilates all the Japanese troops in China, it will definitely receive a lot from the Japanese army. However, I am a little worried about the indispensable naval personnel....After many years of war, I wonder if your government can still raise enough naval personnel to drive this offshore fleet...."As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, General Stilwell asked with a proud face.

"General Stilwell, you mean. As long as our country is able to raise enough naval personnel, your government will agree to unconditionally support our country and form our country's first modern coastal fleet...."Following General Stilwell's words, Liu Hua hurriedly asked as if he had grasped a handle.

"Of course, with the current productivity of our country, it will only take a month at most to raise all the ships of an offshore fleet. I am sure that President Roosevelt will agree to this not too harsh condition of your government? General Stilwell replied in the affirmative. Then, staring closely at Liu Hua in front of him, he seemed to be ready to see a joke.

As a general who has lived in China for several years, he knows very well the huge casualties paid by the squadron in this war.

In his eyes, the Chinese government might be able to raise these naval personnel before the war of resistance broke out. However, with the loss of a large number of naval officers and sailors in several years of war, and the loss of all naval vessels by the Chinese government, no further thought was made of replenishing naval officers and men. Admiral Stilwell believed that the Chinese government at this moment, even if it had searched through the whole of China, would not be able to find a few naval officers and men. ..., however, what he didn't expect was that others may not attach so much importance to this special branch of the navy, but as Liu Hua from later generations, he knows very well how important a strong navy is to China, which has a long coastline.

Therefore, after the troops entered the northeast and had just captured Dalian and Lushun, under his orders, they began to use captured gunboats and old warships to continuously train China's own naval officers and men...

Just before the start of the negotiations, after Liu Hua's understanding, two years of training, plus the naval officers and soldiers found by the central government from the former Kuomintang army. The Chinese government can raise a naval force of 8,000 men in at least a month and report to itself...

Thinking of this, a smile that had succeeded in his trick appeared on Liu Hua's face. Then, before General Stilwell could react, Liu Hua took out the document he had prepared and spoke.

"On behalf of me and my Government, General Stilwell, please thank your country and your President for your generosity. Thank you for helping our country to form our first offshore fleet, so that we can have a truly modern navy...."

Under Stilwell's stunned and puzzled gaze in front of him, Liu Hua directly handed over the document in his hand, and said with a smile: "General Stilwell, you don't have to worry about the officers and soldiers of the Navy at all. Two years ago, China began to train naval officers and men using some discarded warships. So far, we definitely have enough naval officers and sailors to receive your country's support for our first offshore fleet......"

It was not until this moment, after carefully reading the documents in his hand, that General Stilwell realized that invisibly, he had once again walked into the trap that Liu Hua had already laid for himself.

For a moment, a look of helplessness appeared on Stilwell's face. Immediately, he said: "Commander-in-Chief Liu, the U.S. government has always been the most credible government, and since your government has been able to raise so many naval officers and men, then, on behalf of the U.S. government, I agree to your second condition." All ships will be delivered within three months, and the place of delivery will be determined by your government..."
