Alexander's trickiness seems to be the only reason for today's situation in Burma, which depends on Tang Qiuli, among them, there is no lack of reflection of Tang Qiuli, taking advantage of the opportunity of the British army's defeat in India, seizing the territory of the British, and first detaining the big hat of immorality, taking advantage of people's danger, and grabbing the interests of allies.

Tang Qiuli replied very skillfully, without mentioning the agreement, his attitude was very clear, his feet are on you British yourself, as long as you think you have the ability to kill the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops of Iyan Saburo, even if you return to Burma, no one will stop you, and besides, I will welcome you with both hands.

This is Alexander's weakness, at the beginning, with the military strength of the British army in the heyday of the Indochina Peninsula, it was still beaten by the Japanese to the bones and tendons, and the fart was boiling, and today's Anglo-Burmese army has long existed in name only, dying, how to fight back to Burma? Alexander's current identity is just an almost idle civil official, who has no military power in his hands, what to fight?

With an unwilling heart, or is it a colonial idea inherent in the mind? And the British governor in India had no interest in returning Burma, if it weren't for the fact that he was an old friend of Alexander, even India would not have a foothold for this defeated general, and no one would have much interest in taking in the lost dog, and Alexander's chance of returning to Burma was not at all possible.

Alexander was speechless, MacArthur glanced at this old friend dissatisfied, blaming him for being extraneous and troublesome, because it was about to involve the issue of sending troops, which was good, and gave Tang Qiuli a high-sounding excuse to face the Japanese army under Ito's department. It was very difficult, but what did MacArthur do so hard for, isn't it to let the Chinese send troops and fight the Japanese in Burma?

How MacArthur wished. Tang Qiuli was impulsive and took the initiative to stand up, "Your Excellency, your Excellency, the task of destroying the Japanese army in Burma will be entrusted to me, right?" There is no need to bother with the other Allied troops, "What a wonderful thing this should be, but looking at Tang Qiuli's smiling and not smiling, MacArthur tried to dispel it from his mind. Unrealistic fantasies.

This Chinese, if he does not give him benefits, he will definitely not make efforts, but let him open his mouth like this. directly picked out the intention, but he was not willing, his eyes turned to Yang Yongtai, who was sitting on his left hand, looking at his nose and nose, like an old monk who was settled. I also hope that Yang Yongtai will stand up, comprehend the direct intention, and say impassionedly: "Your Excellency General, such a task. Leave it to our squadron! ”

Things will also be much simpler, whether it is Tang Qiu's departure from the army. Or Jiang Zhengfu in Chongqing sent troops, that's your Chinese own business. According to MacArthur's understanding, Chairman Chiang also had great strength in his hands, and in addition, he received a large amount of equipment from the United States, and he had the strength to fight with Ito.

Yang Yongtai, an old fox, how could he not feel MacArthur's ardent expectant gaze, his mind was thinking sharply, to let Chairman Chiang send troops to Burma to fight with the Japanese, that is absolutely impossible, before he came to Manila, the old man summoned himself to the official residence, and the first thing he said was, "As long as you don't use ** soldier and don't go to Burma to fight with the Japanese, you can agree to anything instead of me." ”

The only thing Yang Yongtai needs to consider is how not to offend MacArthur, and he can't let him see that he is deliberately shirking, he originally made up his mind to be a very plain listener, with only ears and no mouth, but MacArthur looked at his eyes, as if he had been in prison for ten years, and when he was just released, he suddenly saw a naked beauty with anticipation and eagerness.

Yang Yongtai knew that he couldn't hide, he first nodded slightly towards Tang Qiuli, and then, getting up, took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped his glasses, and said in a consistently calm tone: "General MacArthur, generals, as the special representative of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China, completely and unconditionally support any decision of the Allied Headquarters. ”

"General MacArthur is eloquent, well-commanded, understands all the situations in Southeast Asia, about that force, responsible for clearing local hidden dangers, must have a conclusion in his heart, Yang naturally can't get an axe, but I can say that as long as it is any order from the Allied headquarters, we will strictly implement it and support it unconditionally!"

Yang Yongtai sat down with a calm face, a veteran of officialdom, skillfully using Chinese Tai Chi Kung Fu, a thousand pounds of four or two, and easily kicked this problem back to MacArthur, "You want me to put my head and act as a villain, this kind of small means, in front of me Yang Yongtai, is too pediatric, don't look at you MacArthur is a lot of age, he has fought for decades, in front of me Yang Yongtai, he is like a babbling baby, if you talk about tricks, I Yang Yongtai is the ancestor of your Yankee!" ”

Yang Yongtai is an old fox, MacArthur is not a fuel-efficient lamp, how could he not see Yang Yongtai's sleekness and cunning, extremely disappointed, a little good impression of Yang Yongtai, at that time was greatly discounted, Alexander was depressed, Brooks had nothing to do with himself, Stilwell spoke, and the effect was the same as what he said, and no one could help him.

MacArthur had to go into battle in person, this time, he was not ready to take a forced way to force Tang Qiuli to send troops, at last night's drinking party, he had already seen the toughness of this Chinese, don't be bored, or cleverly put this thankless errand on Tang Qiuli's body, besides, besides, except for him, there is no suitable candidate.

MacArthur had even made up his mind that he would give in or pay some affordable price in exchange for his attempt to be realized, and at this moment, Tang Qiuli, who had been silent, suddenly said: "General MacArthur, I have a question, I still don't understand, and I want the general to explain." ”

MacArthur was overjoyed, it was so cool, you jumped out by yourself, saving me a lot of thought and brain cells, and hurriedly asked with a smile on his face: "I don't know General Tang, if there is anything I don't understand, as long as I can answer it, the general will say it's okay!" ”

Tang Qiuli asked: "Just now, in his analysis of the situation in Southeast Asia, the general repeatedly mentioned that there are dangers and unstable factors in this region, and I want to know. Which aspect is the general, or that force? Only when this point is clarified can we enter the specific operational stage, and let the generals present at the meeting. Have a clear goal. ”

MacArthur's heart, not to mention how greasy it was, isn't this an obvious thing? A few people who are doing it, except for those stupid generals of small Asian countries who are pulling in to make up the numbers, the one who is not like a mirror in his heart, and still needs you to ask questions?

The core strategy of the United States is to avoid any kind of conflict with the Japanese in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. MacArthur was an active supporter and implementer of this strategy, otherwise, the US military would have sent troops a long time ago, and how could the Indochina Peninsula fall into the hands of you Tang Qiuli? None of them are fools. That piece of land, with its natural resources and mineral deposits, is enough to drive anyone crazy.

Not mentioning the Japanese at all, just so as not to anger the fierce little fighting dog and prevent the Japanese from noticing. This was the real intention of the United States, otherwise, General MacArthur did not mind, at this meeting. Greatly demonize the Japanese, if it is about creating public opinion and smearing opponents. He considers himself a veteran of it.

But Tang Qiuli had already put the question on the table, and he couldn't allow him to hold the pipa and half-cover his face. Concealing and engaging in some tricks that we all know, but not to say, MacArthur pondered for a moment and said: "General Tang's question is also a doubt in everyone's hearts, and I think, with your rich experience, it is not difficult to judge that the root cause of this unstable factor is the Japanese entrenched in south-central Burma, to be precise, the Japanese army under Ito Yanzaburo, the Japanese army sent to Southeast Asia. ”

Tang Qiuli suddenly realized, and said succinctly: "Oh, I know," of course it's clear, you Americans want to watch the fire from across the strait, use the lives of Chinese soldiers, and eliminate hidden dangers in the future for you Americans, and you don't get a little bit of blood, in the world, there is such a cheap thing, dragging you Americans into the water, that's the purpose of my coming to Manila, otherwise, why am I so idle?" ”

MacArthur was unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity, and hurriedly said: "General Tang, the situation in Southeast Asia is very delicate, General Alexander's troops need to recover, and General Brooks's troops are facing the same problem as our American ** team, that is, the difficulty of transporting troops, separated by the natural obstacles of the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea, the difficulties are difficult to solve. ”

"Therefore, at present, the most advantageous position is the general's brave and good fighting force, and then the Japanese are terrified, in the name of the Allied Headquarters, I hand over this arduous task to the general's troops, presumably, the general will not let everyone here down, right?"

"Yes, dealing with our common enemy, the Japanese invading army, is the unshirkable responsibility of our North China Independent Division," Tang Qiuli agreed unusually happily, so cheerful that these people thought it was an illusion, MacArthur never thought that in his opinion, this was the theme of the whole meeting, and it was the only problem that needed to be solved, and it was an extremely difficult thing.

He originally prepared a language as beautiful as diplomatic rhetoric to persuade Tang Qiuli to comply, but Tang Qiuli agreed without hesitation, MacArthur swallowed the words that came to his mouth and swallowed them back into his stomach, choking him, and hurriedly asked in an unbelievable tone: "So, General Tang, do you have any requirements?" ”

After that, MacArthur was ready to be slaughtered, this young Chinese who gave him an extreme headache was not a good talker, so he fell into his own calculations so happily, among them, there may be some difficult conditions to meet.

Tang Qiuli said indifferently: "There are only two requirements, one is that my troops, in the process of fighting against the Japanese army, will not accept the command of the Allied Headquarters, and the second requirement is that this meeting must form an agreement, and it is an agreement open to the whole world, in order to show the attitude of our Allied forces towards the Japanese," After speaking, Tang Qiuli quietly looked at MacArthur.
