Chapter 586: Exceeding Authority

"General Qin, I don't know what you're talking about...... China is a member of the Allies, do you want to deny this fact? ”

It took Stilwell a long time to hold back these few words. After meeting Qin Wei, Qin Wei's attitude made him have illusions for a while...... This guy doesn't seem to be as difficult to talk as He Yingqin. But as it turned out, he was wrong, and he was wrong. He Yingqin was no longer polite to him, no matter how unwilling he was to accept his plan, at least he did not dare to deny that China was a member of the Allied Powers, and at most he was just talking about the trilateral agreement. But this one is good, and even the identity of China's allies has been denied.

"Don't be angry, it's a big deal!" Qin Wei smiled, "General, I did not deny that China is a member of the allies. I actually mean to ask you...... Do Britain and the United States really regard China as their allies? ”

"This ...... Of course! Stilwell replied casually.

"The look in your eyes tells me you're just perfunctory." Qin Wei took the fishing rod from Zheng Pingru's hand, turned around and walked towards the river. Seeing him like this, Stilwell and He Jinhan had to follow closely, and at the same time listened to his chatter: "Britain and the United States are very powerful, no one can deny this." But you also cannot deny that without China, you will be very dangerous...... If we were to make peace with the Japanese, or to cease the war for a while, there would be a good chance that the British would lose their outside support, and if they did, they would soon be defeated in the battle against the Germans. And as long as Britain surrenders, the United States will lose its forward positions in the European theater......"

"What does this have to do with the Asian theater?" Stilwell asked with a frown.

"It really doesn't matter." Qin Wei hung an earthworm on the fishhook, and then shook it out vigorously, "But I have always wanted to ask Roosevelt, or Marshall, if the Germans achieve the most difficult victory in the European theater, with Hitler's character." Will he let the United States of America roam the North American continent alone? Especially when the United States has already declared war on Germany. ”

"......," Stilwell was silent.

"If it were me, I wouldn't." He Jinhan interjected on the side, "The so-called cutting grass without removing the roots will cause endless troubles." The United States is the world's No. 1 industrial power, and it is too dangerous to keep such an enemy hiding on the American continent. ”

"yes." Qin Wei smiled at He Zhenhan, "What's more, even if Hitler defeats the enemies of all Europe, it is impossible for him to let the whole of Europe completely fall under his feet. Everywhere there will be a force for resistance. Moreover, European countries have their own cultural heritages and languages, and it is difficult to integrate together. So. If the United States, the world's largest industrial power, fanned the flames on the side and secretly funded these resistance forces, his life would be very difficult. Rather than this, it is better to directly wave the troops and fight over. Of course, the most important. The Japanese had already performed for him once. It's not safe across the Pacific Ocean, let alone the narrower Atlantic Ocean. Isn't it? ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Stilwell asked in a deep voice.

"General. I think what Chief Qin meant was that Britain and the United States should not ignore the existence of China. He Jinhan explained.

"We didn't neglect. Otherwise, how can we form an alliance with China? Stilwell retorted.

"You didn't neglect it in name, but what about in action?" Qin Wei smiled, "I think Roosevelt and Churchill both regarded us as wronged leaders who could be called at any time, right?" Of course. And that includes you, Joseph. General Stilwell! ”

"General Qin, you are responsible for what you said. You're creating a rift between the Allies! Stilwell said angrily.

"Cracks are cracks. Anyway, Britain and the United States do not regard China as equal partners! From Roosevelt and Churchill's previous performance to support us, we always pushed back. Then you can clearly understand your true attitude towards us...... When Roosevelt came to Churchill's aid, he sent more than fifty destroyers without blinking an eye. Isn't it? Qin Wei looked at Jiang Mian with a smile on his face, as if he was telling something irrelevant.

"That's different!" Stilwell argued, "And we did aid China." Not before, but now...... Large quantities of military supplies are being transported from the Indian Ocean to Myanmar. Can you deny this fact? ”

"I don't think that was sent to us." Qin Wei replied disdainfully.

"General, that batch of supplies is to support the battlefield in Southeast Asia." Stilwell exclaimed.

"Really?" Qin Wei glanced back at him, "Then why do you want to drive us to the battlefield before the aid arrives?" Don't you want us to help you block or even repel the Japanese and stabilize the war situation in Southeast Asia, and then detain this batch of supplies and use this as a threat to let our soldiers die for you? ”

"You...... How could we do that? General Qin, what the hell are you thinking? How can you be so hostile to your allies? Stilwell looked at him in surprise, and although he was questioning, his eyes were visibly wandering.

"General Stilwell, this is not hostility, but vigilance! A wariness of those so-called allies who are always hostile to us! Qin Wei said, "Do you dare to say that you really regard China as your ally?" ”

"Of course!"

"You're fartingβ€”"

"You ......"

Stilwell was once again shocked by Qin Wei's words. Fart? This guy actually said he farted? He should have been furious, but after seeing Qin Wei's cold eyes, his anger was held in his heart and couldn't be released.

"The difference between a fool and a smart person is that a fool always thinks he is smarter than everyone else." Qin Wei glared at Stilwell: "Do you think your performance after arriving in China gives us the feeling that we can be trusted?" You are wrong, Stilwell, we are poor and weak in China, but we do not lack smart people...... Your performance only shows one thing: you are treating yourself as masters and us as your minions! ”

"I ...... I don't know what you're talking about. Inexplicably, Stilwell was a little weak-hearted. He tried to pull his legs away, but those legs were like lead, and they couldn't move. Because he knew very well that if he really left like this, then Qin Wei's words would be recognized by everyone. If that's the case, no one can save him. Roosevelt could only recall him back home. He won't even have the opportunity to cooperate with others on other battlefields...... Who would want to work with a guy who thinks they are masters at every turn?

"What does it mean to cooperate? Cooperation is the achievement of a common goal between individuals and groups. A joint action that works with each other. Cooperation is for win-win cooperation! Qin Wei sighed again, turned his head and continued to look at the river, but his voice continued to rage in the ears of the others: "Stilwell, what did China win in your plan?" ”

"Huh? Middle...... China has won space for the outside world. Stilwell thought for a moment, "You can avoid a total blockade by Japan, you can get ......"

"You can win a lot of praise, you can win the reputation of the whole world......" Qin Wei looked at him mockingly, "But our soldiers will sacrifice their lives." ”

"On the battlefield, no one can guarantee that they will never die." Stilwell Road. "General Qin, I know that I may be too anxious, but I am indeed thinking about the war situation in the entire Southeast Asia. I had absolutely no thought of sacrificing the lives of Chinese soldiers for the benefit of the British. ”

"How about a bet?" Qin Wei asked suddenly.

"Bet?" Stilwell was stunned.

"Yes." Qin Wei nodded, "As soon as the Japanese attack Burma, we will send troops to help the British." But I promise. The British will betray us in the ensuing war, and they will use us as their cannon fodder......"

"It can't be. The British wouldn't do that. Stilwell shook his head.

"But I think they're going to do it." Qin Weidao. "So. Let's make such a bet! …… If the British do so, I ask for the power to dispose of them, including the power to deal with their commanders by military law; And if they don't, then, congratulations, General Stilwell. Because you will have the full support of many people, including me, you will be given command of the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, as well as the Fourth Theater of Operations, Guangxi and most of the forces of the Indochina Peninsula. The total strength of these troops is 500,000 or 600,000, of which at least 200,000 are mobile. What do you think. Do you dare to bet it? ”

"......" Stilwell stared at him for a long time, and then took a deep breath: "Why don't I dare?" ”

"Do you really dare?" Qin Wei looked at him as if he had just heard a funny joke.

"Of course." Stilwell shrugged, "As Chief of Staff for the Pan-Western Pacific Theater, I think I have that power. ”

"Ha Lu Ha ......" Qin Wei suddenly laughed, shook his hand and threw the fishing rod into the river: "General Stilwell, do you know the way?" A wonderful person of yours, really a wonderful person! ”

"General Qin, I don't understand what you mean. Don't you want to make this bet? Stilwell asked with a frown.

"General Stilwell, if you refuse to make this bet, then we may believe in your sincerity, but you agreed...... So, you don't have the slightest bit of sincerity. On the contrary, your actions also show your grave contempt for our senior Chinese military generals. He Jinhan's face was as cold as ice and snow at this time, and he now understood a little bit that He Yingqin owed Stilwell a good impression of him at the beginning, and he didn't even bother to say a few good words: "Although we have formed an alliance with Britain and the United States and established a nominal headquarters, in fact, whether it is our Chairman Chiang or you, the chief of staff, they are just a name. We, you, and the British, until now, are only fighting on our own! In this case, not to mention you, even our Chairman Chiang is not capable of directly court-martialing their officers beyond the British government...... I'm sure President Roosevelt did the same. And what qualifications do you have to agree to Chief Qin's conditions? Chief Qin's words just now are not wrong, you are taking us all for fools. ”

"I didn'tβ€”" Stilwell snapped, "and since I agreed, I could do it." If you don't believe me, I can immediately send a telegram to Washington and report it to them. ”

"What's the use of that?" He Zhen looked at him teasingly, "General Stilwell, in fact, there is a sentence I have always wanted to tell you, but unfortunately there is always no chance. But for now, I want you to hear it. ”

"What?"

"The Pan-Western Pacific theater of operations, according to the demands of the British, does not include Burma and Malaya! So, you're not in a position to dictate the fighting there...... You're overstepping your authority! (To be continued......)
