Chapter 258: The Perfunctory of the Americans
"Commander, the British have sent liaison officers over, and they are going to surrender. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Chief of Staff Liu Shiquan was excited.
The British have always been on top! Even though their combat effectiveness is very poor, they look great in front of the Chinese, and I really don't know where their confidence comes from.
Now, the British are actually going to surrender to them, which naturally makes Liu Shiquan very unimaginable.
"Surrender? Hum! Damn the British, how could they be so cunning. Qin Shou couldn't help but scold.
He knew very well what the British were calculating. It's nothing more than wanting to surrender, then plead with the Americans, and then let the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army release them. If the Americans really made such a request, there was really no way for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to refuse. After all, the assistance provided by the Americans to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in the past six months is already very amazing. It is impossible for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to reject the Americans because of these trivial things. In that case, it will be very unfavorable to the future cooperation between the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the United States.
"What's wrong? Commander, is there a problem? Liu Shiquan asked with some concern.
"Nothing was a problem! If the British want to surrender, then accept theirs. However, remember that all the weapons and equipment of the British were confiscated. Nothing else can be left to them at all. Qin Lifetime ordered.
Now that Qin Shou has already guessed, even if he captures these British, there is no way to take them. Then, then he has to desperately find a way to save losses.
"Okay, Commander." Liu Shiquan nodded. Although he was a little incomprehensible to Qin Shou's order. However, this did not prevent him from fully carrying out Qin Shou's orders. This also makes the cooperation between the two of them almost no problem. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was able to develop rapidly as a result.
On the morning of November 26, British Lieutenant General Slim led more than 28,000 British troops in the encirclement to surrender to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. And this made this conflict between the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the British Army come to an end.
After that, the British, who had been beaten, did not dare to easily provoke the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. And the main enemy of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army is Ri* himself, and before defeating Ri* himself, Qin Shou does not want to grudge with another world power.
Imphal, Lieutenant General Stilwell's office. Because of the victory of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army on the battlefield in Burma, the war situation in Southeast Asia can be completely handed over to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. So, Lieutenant General Stilwell is about to leave Imphal and return to China. After all, now he is still the chief of staff of the Chinese theater of operations. However, the anti-Japanese situation in the Chinese theater of operations is still not optimistic.
It's just that when he was about to leave Imphal, Lieutenant General Stilwell came here with an uninvited guest. This person was none other than the commander of the British forces in India, General Wavell.
"Hello, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Stilwell, with a smile on his face. He knew what Admiral Wavell was trying to do. However, he was very happy about this. He also looked down on the British. They did very badly on the battlefield, but when it came to fighting for aid, they jumped very high and were very strong. If they had used the momentum they had fought for aid against the Japanese themselves, they would not have lost so badly on the battlefield in Burma.
"Hello, Chief of Staff." Admiral Wavell's face was not very good-looking. This time, he came to Lieutenant General Stilwell to help him release the captured British soldiers from the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. This also means that he has to bow to Lieutenant General Stilwell. This is undoubtedly something that makes him very uncomfortable. If he could, he would never have done it. However, it involved more than 20,000 British troops, many of whom were noble British officers, which made him have to put down his face for the time being.
"You may be seated, Your Excellency, Commander." Seeing Admiral Wavell's appearance, Lieutenant General Stilwell's heart blossomed.
After a brief pleasantries, the conversation between the two got to the point.
"Your Excellency, the British Empire and the United States of America are close allies. However, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army you supported brazenly attacked the troops of the British Empire. This is definitely a provocation to the British Empire. I ask you to order the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army to release the captured officers and soldiers of the British Empire at once, and to arrest the commander of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and hand them over to the British Empire. Admiral Wavell looked furious.
The smile on Lieutenant General Stilwell's face suddenly disappeared. Before, he also wanted to see Admiral Wavell's jokes. However, for the sake of the relationship between the two countries as allies, he will still find a way to help them. But I didn't expect that Admiral Wavell's request would be like this.
The Anti-Japanese Salvation Army has become a powerful force for the United States in Southeast Asia against the Japanese, and it is also a useful pawn for the British to contain the British after the war. The United States is also very satisfied with the performance of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. think that their investment in the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army is not in vain. Now, the British want to arrest the commander of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, how is that possible? This is something that Lieutenant General Stilwell absolutely cannot accept.
"Your Excellency, the United States of America has always supported all anti-Japanese armed forces. However, we do not have the right to command the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. If you want to contact the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, I'm afraid you'll need to go to them yourself. Lieutenant General Stilwell said with a cold face, and immediately wiped out the relationship between the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and the United States.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, then I ask that the support for the National Salvation Army against Japan be stopped." Admiral Wavell was furious.
"I'm sorry, but it was not up to me to provide support to the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, but to the U.S. government. I would not be able to make such a decision unless I was authorized by the U.S. government. "Lieutenant General Stilwell was very resolute.
"Your Excellency, Commander, perhaps you can go to the Chinese government. After all, the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army are all Chinese. Lieutenant General Stilwell suggested.
"That's useless! The Yamashiro government claimed that they had no command power over the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. "Admiral Wavell has already tried this effort. However, there was still no response. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is getting stronger and stronger, and has even mastered the assistance channel of the Yamashiro government, which makes the Yamashiro government, although very dissatisfied with the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, has no way to counteract it, and can only turn a blind eye.
"In that case, then I can't help it." Lieutenant General Stilwell shrugged, looking helpless.
