Chapter 470: Confrontation

A large number of British troops in India left the camp and gathered towards the Indo-Burmese border. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This kind of action can't be hidden from others at all. The Americans reacted first, and Lieutenant General Stilwell flew to Calcutta and asked Admiral Wavell what the British troops in India were planning to do, and whether they were going to wage war against the Japanese National Salvation Army.

Admiral Wavell, of course, would not admit that the British troops in India wanted to go to war with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. He said that this was nothing more than normal training for the British troops in India. Moreover, all the operations of the British Army in India were carried out on Indian soil, and they would not pose a threat to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Lieutenant General Stilwell is not a fool, so he can naturally guess that this is a retaliatory action launched by the British against the Japanese National Salvation Army after the British asked the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army for Thailand to no avail.

Although, I don't know if the British have the courage to provoke a conflict with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army again. However, Lieutenant General Stilwell knew that the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army had to be cautious. Otherwise, if the British really dared to attack in the face of the world's condemnation, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would be caught off guard and suffer heavy losses.

Lieutenant General Stilwell warned the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army on the one hand, and reported to China on the other, hoping to use the influence of the United States to make the British stop this death-seeking behavior.

Siam, Ayutthaya, the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Lieutenant Colonel Steven, the representative of the US Army stationed in the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, rushed to the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in a hurry. He rushed directly into Qin Shou's office without being informed. Or rather, there was no time to be informed.

At that time, Qin Shou was discussing with Lieutenant General Liu Shiquan about the replenishment of weapons and ammunition for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. In particular, the situation of Myanmar's military-industrial supporting enterprises. Qin Shou knew that their honeymoon period with the Americans might not last long. Therefore, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army must complete its own industrialization construction as much as possible before the Americans turn their backs. In particular, the industrialization of the military industry. In this way, you will not be choked by the Americans.

Lieutenant Colonel Steven suddenly broke in, and Qin Shou was a little unhappy. However, he did not show the slightest on the surface.

"Steven, what's wrong? In such a hurry? Qin Shou asked quietly.

"I'm sorry, Qin, something is wrong." Lieutenant Colonel Steven said.

"What's the matter? Is the sky falling? Qin Shou said with a smile. For the current Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, there is little to worry him about. After all, big fists are the last word. The fist of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army may not be the largest. However, in the case of the whole of Nanyang, it is enough to protect its own interests.

"Qin, if you don't do it well, the sky will really collapse." Steven said a little speechlessly.

Hearing Lieutenant Colonel Steven say this, Qin Shou also had to face it squarely.

"The British are mobilizing their troops. A large number of troops are gathering on the India-Burma border, and it looks like an attack on Burma. Once you go to war with the British, it's a big problem. If the time comes* and I intervene again, the consequences will be even more serious. Even with the current Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist. Lieutenant Colonel Steven said.

Qin Shou's face suddenly became very ugly.

"Damn, could it be that the British and the Japanese themselves have colluded? How could they have the audacity? Liu Shiquan's face was incredible. Even between the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and the British, there are deep contradictions. However, as Britain was a major member of the anti-fascist alliance, the canal should never have cooperated with Japan itself at this time. In that case, Britain would be the target of public criticism. If nothing else, the Americans would never let the British do it.

"There is no evidence yet that the British would cooperate with the Japanese. However, we have to rule out this possibility. Lieutenant Colonel Steven said helplessly. Although that possibility is very small, if such a thing happens, the consequences will be very serious. When the time comes, the involvement will be quite large, and it will be quite troublesome.

"Order the 2nd Army to stop its advance towards Siam. Instead, they assembled on the Indo-Burmese border. Qin Shou gave the order with a cold face.

Although, this will disrupt their operational deployment. However, Qin Shouque had to do this. Originally, it was already planned for the 2nd Army to go to Siam. Then an attack was launched from Siam to the colony of Indochina. In one fell swoop, the Japanese army entrenched there, occupied the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula, and advanced to the South China Sea.

However, now that the British jumped out, Qin Shou had to give up this plan for the time being. For the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, the importance of Myanmar is beyond doubt. Among other things, Myanmar's ongoing industrialization is something they cannot give up. Qin Shouke hopes that with the help of the Americans, Myanmar will basically achieve industrialization. Even if it was a small initial industrialization, it was a seed after all. As long as there is continuous investment, Qin Shou believes that soon this seed will be able to take root and grow into a towering tree.

Therefore, in this process, Myanmar's security must be guaranteed. At the very least, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army must ensure the security of Burma before industrialization in Siam and elsewhere in the South Seas begins. This is related to the future development of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Yes, Commander." Liu Shiquan nodded, he knew that he had to do this, there was no way to do it.

"In addition, order the 4th Army to speed up its formation." Qin Shou added.

Although the 2nd Army has formed a fighting force, it has also participated in many battles against the Burmese natives. However, after all, there is a lack of experience in fighting the regular army. Although the combat effectiveness of the British troops stationed in India is not very good, it must be treated with caution. If the 4th Army can be formed in time, Burma will be much safer.

"Okay, Commander." Lieutenant General Liu Shiquan nodded.

"Qin, you and the British, there won't really be a war. In that case, the good situation in Nanyang will be gone. Lieutenant Colonel Steven was a little worried.

"It's not something we provoked. I will order the troops, take care to exercise restraint. As long as the British don't fire the first shot, we won't take the initiative to attack. But if the British shot first, then we are no wonder. Qin Shou said coldly.

Lieutenant Colonel Steven nodded, he knew that this was indeed no wonder to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. This time, it was clearly provoked by the British.

When the British troops stationed in India were assembling on the India-Burma border, the 2nd Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army also began to move towards the border. Hundreds of thousands of people on both sides began to confront each other along the border, and the situation became very critical.
