Chapter 119: U.S. Army Liaison Officer (Merry Christmas)
"Senior, the current power of the United States is mainly contained in Europe and the Pacific, and the forces that can be invested in the battlefields in Myanmar and Southeast Asia are very small. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Even if they support the supply of the National Salvation Army against Japan, there will be various problems because of the long distance. Therefore, I hope that after we defeat Japan*, the United States will support us in developing our industry in Burma, especially building up a military industry. Qin Shou did not hide this request of his own.
Lieutenant General Stilwell glanced at Qin Shou meaningfully, he knew very well Qin Shou's intention to do this, that is, to occupy Burma.
"Senior brother, Burma is a colony of the British, don't you plan to return it to the British after you occupy Burma?"
"Sir, Burma was indeed a British colony in the past. However, after the Japanese themselves called, they had already abandoned Burma on their own initiative. If, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army recovers Burma, it will be captured by us with great sacrifices. If the British want to take it back, it is simply impossible. Besides, Britain's colonies were too vast, and after this world war, Britain was no longer the British Empire that dominated the world. In the future, the world pattern will not allow Britain to have such vast colonies again. ”
Lieutenant General Stilwell nodded, Britain, with its vast colonies, is also a great threat to the United States, which is trying to dominate the world. The world colonial system that the United States wished Britain had established fell apart in this war. Qin Shou and they want to occupy Burma, which is not a problem.
"Junior, I want to know the future development plan of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army." The expression on Lieutenant General Stilwell's face became solemn. He felt that Qin Shou's ambition was great, beyond his expectations.
"Senior, our plan, of course, is to continue to attack the Japanese army, defeat them, defeat the entire Japan, and it is best to be able to land on the Japanese mainland and make them pay the price for this war." Qin Shou said.
"What about later? After defeating Japan*Ben, do you plan to stay in Nanyang or return to China? "It's this question that Lieutenant General Stilwell cares about the most. If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army developed into a powerful force, it also occupied part of the territory of the South Seas. Once they return to China, won't these territories also belong to China? This is also a threat to the interests of the United States.
Qin Shou was silent, and after a while before he said, "Senior, we don't want to go back to China." On the one hand, when we were abandoned, we had nothing to do with the national government. On the other hand, the chaotic situation in the country, the conquest between partisans, and the infighting between governments are very frustrating. Rather than that, it is better to stay in Nanyang. ”
Lieutenant General Stilwell was quite satisfied with Qin Shou's answer. In this way, even if the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is really strong, China will not be strengthened because of this. The interests of the United States will not be greatly affected.
"Okay, junior, you want to develop industry, that's fine. If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army could be self-sufficient, it would undoubtedly be able to defeat the Japanese army more effectively. I'll find a way to help you. Lieutenant General Stilwell spoke.
"Thank you, senior!" Qin Shou was immediately overjoyed. Industry is the foundation of a country's strong development, and the industry of Nanyang is almost in a blank. If the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army can build a strong industry and achieve self-sufficiency, it will be able to truly get rid of the United States in the future.
"That's right, senior. I am afraid that the military expenses needed by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will still need to be raised by the United States. In order to save military spending, I have set the soldiers' salaries at half of those of the American soldiers. I believe that with the brave fighting of the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, they are fully qualified to receive such a salary. Qin Shou continued.
"Of course, there is no problem with that. The United States is responsible for the salaries of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Lieutenant General Stilwell said generously.
At present, the United States has a lot of money, and the materials and funds it provides to other countries every year are a large amount of money, and if it leaks a little, it will be able to support the operation of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
"Thank you, senior." Qin Shou hurriedly thanked.
I have to say that the meeting between the two sides this time was very successful. Between Qin Shou and Lieutenant General Stilwell, not only did they have a more intimate connection, but at the same time, the two sides also got what they wanted.
Qin Shou wanted to use the United States to become strong and realize his ambition to dominate the South Seas. The Americans, on the other hand, want to pay for guns and let the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army work for them, so that Americans will die less.
At 3 p.m., Lieutenant General Stilwell and Major Steven left Morey and returned to Imphal.
Qin Shou and Liu Shiquan personally sent Lieutenant General Stilwell and Major Steven to the car. After watching the car drive away, the two walked back.
"Commander, I really didn't expect that the Americans were so easy to talk to, and they agreed to all of our conditions, except for the navy. Soon, our Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will soar into the sky. Liu Shiquan looked very excited.
When Qin Shou and Stilwell talked before, they were all in English, and Liu Shiquan couldn't understand them. However, the final result, Qin Shou had already told him, which made him very satisfied.
"We and the Americans are cooperating for mutual benefit, or rather, using each other. The Americans supported us because they wanted us to go and fight with Japan himself. So, don't think too much of them. They're not a good thing either.
In addition, we want to build a navy, didn't they also refuse us? ”
"Commander, isn't our stall too big?" Liu Shiquan was a little worried.
"Don't worry, I'm in control." Qin Shou said with a smile.
On the way back to Imphal, Lieutenant General Stilwell and Major Steven were also talking.
"Steven, it can be seen that Qin Shou's ambition is very big! He actually wanted to establish his own country in Nanyang. Lieutenant General Stilwell sighed.
"So, General, is this a threat to the interests of the United States?"
Lieutenant General Stilwell shook his head: "Not really. They are too weak relative to the United States. The United States can support them to be strong, or it can destroy them at any time. ”
Indeed, in front of the United States, the current Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is as weak as an ant.
"By the way, Steven, what are you going to do next?" Lieutenant General Stilwell asked.
A hint of confusion flashed in Major Steven's eyes. After he was captured, General Stilwell had re-elected an adjutant, and the lad did a good job. Therefore, there is no place for him next to Lieutenant General Stilwell.
After hesitating for a moment, Major Steven made a choice: "General, let me be the liaison officer of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army!" ”
