"I ...... I know this, but the British side ......."

The British side also knows this. I understand. ”

Stilwell stammered to plead. The Pan-Western Pacific Theater includes the China Theater and the Southeast Asian Theater. And Southeast Asia, how can it be missing Malaya and Myanmar? Therefore, as the chief of staff of the Western Pacific Theater, he should and has the power to intervene in the war in Malaya and Burma. Although Malaya and Burma were forcibly pulled out of the Southeast Asian theater by the British because of their previous relationship with the British, they really ran into trouble, and they couldn't really ignore these two places. He also wanted to tell Qin Wei and He Jinhan that the British side actually knew what he had done and acquiesced in his actions. So he didn't overstep his authority. But after stammering for a long time, he still couldn't finish it all. Because Stilwell understood that he could assume that the British agreed to his intervention in the war between the two places, but Qin Wei and He Jinhan couldn't. Therefore, he was easily interrupted by He Jinhan again:

"General, if the British really need our support, why don't they directly request our government? We are allies, what can't be said? Do you have to be a third person walking around in it? Does this mean that if our army enters Burma and helps them repel the Japanese attack, they can quickly turn their backs and expel us on the grounds that Burma is not part of the Southeast Asian theater of operations? ”

"No, no, no, how is this possible? I don't think the British government will do that. Stilwell said with a wave of his hands.

"You believe it?" Qin Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Stilwell will ...... Forget it, I'll call you Joseph. Joseph, do you think the word 'I believe' has any value in intercourse between nations? ”

...... Stilwell was silent. I believe"? Not to mention countries, but between slightly larger groups. All three words could become a joke at any time.

"Joseph, you actually know the plans of the British, don't you?" Seeing that Stilwell didn't speak, Qin Wei asked again.

"General, the British government will not do what you say. And, if they really had such intentions, how could they possibly tell me? Stilwell said.

"You still haven't been able to figure out what I mean, Joseph," Qin Wei sighed, "I said 'you know the plans of the British'. That is to say, you would rather let China take the risk of doing something that is not flattering, or even profitable, than to make the British show any sincerity...... How do you make us trust you? Or, like the British, too. Think we Chinese are fools who can be teased by you? ”

"General, I deny everything you say." Stilwell had already reacted at this point. He took a deep breath. Stabilized his excitement: "My purpose is just to stabilize the situation in Southeast Asia, so that the whole world can see the efforts of the allies to fight against fascism. ”

"I believe you do have this idea, but I also believe that you are doing it for your own military exploits!" Qin Wei looked at him. There was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes: "Because with your identity, status, and talent as General Stilwell, it is impossible not to figure out such a simple question, and it is even more impossible not to see the true thoughts of the British, but you deliberately chose to ignore it...... You're just letting us China shoot people. And then make a bunch of empty promises, but won't give us a little insurance! Did you do that when you were at the Pentagon? ”

"General, you're slandering ......" Stilwell couldn't say anything. There are things that can be said and done, some things that can be said but not done, and still things that can be done but not said...... What he is doing now is actually what he can do but not say. Qin Wei is right, he is jumping up and down in China these days, and the main purpose is actually for himself. Of course, under the big goal of "Wei Guangzheng", there is no problem with his private goal. But the problem is that he doesn't do things properly. He has been persuading and threatening all these times, but in fact, he has not even made any substantive promises to China. This kind of thing, even an ordinary person can find out that something is wrong, let alone a government? But why did he dare to do this, and he was happy to do it? Although he didn't want to admit it, Stilwell understood that he was actually like Qin Wei said, and seemed to regard himself as a "master" a little bit! Although he didn't feel that he was at fault...... Who called China poor? Who said that China is facing a great threat from Japan? Who told China that it needs U.S. support? Since it needs the support of the United States, then, in the face of him, the representative of the US military, China should show the posture of a "beggar"! But these thoughts can only be buried in the heart, and cannot be said openly. If he speaks out publicly, he will become the laughing stock of the whole world, and he will lose all his future with it.

"It doesn't matter if I'm slanderous or not. But I want to tell you one thing," Qin Wei said again, "Joseph, your behavior has caused dissatisfaction in our government, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has officially lodged a protest with the White House and the Pentagon...... Your actions and practices show that you do not treat every ally fairly and lack the mentality of true equality and cooperation. In our opinion, you are a destabilizing factor in this theater of operations. So...... The Pan-Western Pacific Theater doesn't need you! ”

“……”

……

"Chief Qin, just let him go?"

Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence. After Qin Wei finished speaking, Stilwell took a few breaths of breath, then turned around and left without saying a word, but He Jinhan stayed. Moreover, it was as if a friend who had known each other for many years, and after watching the car leave with Stilwell, he said to Qin Wei again.

"If you don't let him go, will it be difficult to leave him behind? He didn't pay for food, so why should I care about his food? Qin Wei said with a smile.

"But I don't understand anything." He Zhenhan smiled.

"Say."

Qin Wei raised his head, looked at the river, and beckoned to the three women not far away, and walked up by the river with He Jinhan.

"You just ...... Well, in fact, it's not just you, when he was in Chongqing, Chief He's attitude towards Stilwell was also very bad, and it can even be said to be very different...... Although I also know that this is because Stilwell is not doing things right, is it not good to be so direct, crisp, and even fiercely opposed to the US military? He Jinhan asked cautiously, as if he was a little worried.

"Brother Junshan, with what you know about your Teacher He, what kind of person is he?" Qin Wei asked with a smile.

"Hehe," He Zhenhan laughed twice: "This...... I'm sure you should be very clear, Sir Qin. ”

"Hehe," Qin Wei also smiled, "That's right, everyone knows that he is 'Granny He'." So, even such a 'mother-in-law' began to blackface Stilwell, so what else do we have to be afraid of? No, our eyes can be better than his Chief? ”

"That's the truth, but you still haven't answered me." He Zhenhan smiled and said worriedly: "And our attitude towards Stilwell is so blunt, even bad, he will definitely report it to China." The U.S. government can judge, but they certainly prefer to trust their own people. Again, I think we're ignoring a very important issue right now. ”

"What?" Qin Wei asked.

"Britain!" "What if, before the U.S. government officially speaks, Stilwell convinces the British in Burma to agree to invite us into Burma...... Then we accuse him of being biased and impartial, and failing to treat allies fairly and fairly, and other crimes, I am afraid it will be difficult to establish. On the contrary, he will be regarded as an outstanding person who really cares about the situation of the war and is willing to contribute to the anti-fascist cause. ”

"You're right," Qin Wei nodded, "and I can tell you that before you came to me, Wang Shijie, who was next to the chairman, conveyed to me the meaning of the Chongqing side, and they hoped that I could persuade Stilwell to contact the British first, so that before the British made a decision, the relationship between us would not be too stiff." ”

"But what if the British make a quick decision and are willing to invite us into Burma?" He Jinhan asked rhetorically: "Do we send troops?" ”

"So, I didn't do what Chongqing said." Qin Wei said, "Although we are allies with Britain and the United States, and we are poor and weak, we are the weakest side of the allies, why should we act according to their faces? Like you just said, 'American politicians prefer to trust their own people'...... Do they believe that their own people have anything to do with us? Could it be that we need to judge whether what we are doing is right or wrong? ”

“……”

"And I insist that there are things that need to be cut out quickly. What are you doing here with such a-stirring stick? Not to mention the energy involved, it also makes everyone uncomfortable. Qin Wei said again, "So, after Stilwell came, I didn't give him a chance to speak at length, directly revealed his true purpose, and put everything on the table...... Because I'm not in the mood and I don't have time to dwell on him. ”

"But in case ......" He Jinhan didn't expect Qin Wei to say such a thing. But he had to admit that Qin Wei's words sounded really uplifting...... Why should we Chinese do things with the feelings of others? When you Stilwell did those things, thinking about using us as cannon fodder, did you care about the feelings of our Chinese? However, after all, he had not been in contact with Qin Wei before, and he still had some worries about this approach.

"No whatever!" Qin Wei said: "I'll tell you the truth, Brother Junshan, even if the British reach an agreement with Stilwell, we will not send troops." We just want to sit back and watch the Japanese drive them out of Southeast Asia. ”

"For ...... For what? ”

"It's not for anything, it's just that it's not nice to look at them." Qin Wei smiled, "And Lao He sent you here to find me, in fact, it was precisely because of our plan." (To be continued......)
