Chapter 440: Denial of it
If Qin Shou hadn't been informed by Lieutenant Colonel Steven before, he might have been really frightened by Lieutenant General Stilwell's fierce threat. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info However, now it is naturally completely different. He knew that Lieutenant General Stilwell had no evidence at all. Although he doubts whether he has a motive to harm the interests of the United States, he can only scare himself without real evidence.
Qin Shou pretended to be stunned, and then said, "General, what do you mean by this?" With the support of the US government, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army finally gained its current strength. We and the United States are our most sincere allies. We all have a common enemy, Japan. If you don't defeat the day* yourself, you will never give up. Both I and the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army cherish our alliance with the United States. ”
Lieutenant General Stilwell glanced at Qin Shou suspiciously, and then said, "Qin, some people suspect that you deliberately let go of the 'Xianghe' aircraft carrier. How do you explain this? ”
"General, this is a great injustice! I am our enemy, so how could I deliberately let go of the aircraft carrier "Xianghe"? If I could sink it, I'd love to sink it. However, we did lose the trace of the aircraft carrier "Xianghe". After all, our air force and carrier-based aircraft units have been formed for too short a time. Although the combat effectiveness is not bad. However, in many ways, there are still shortcomings. It is precisely because of this that there are so many mistakes in the battle. Qin Shou immediately shirked the responsibility.
After all, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is an armed force that has just been established. In particular, the air force and carrier-based aircraft units have not been formed for a long time. It is already very rare for them to be able to exert such a strong combat power. As for letting go of the aircraft carrier 'Shozuru' by mistake, it is inevitable. Naturally, no one wants such a result.
Besides, even the powerful US Navy often delays its fighters? Otherwise, there would be no Pearl Harbor. Even the Americans themselves would make such a mistake, so it is no wonder that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is no wonder.
"General, this is just hearsay from those fellows in the Navy. They simply couldn't see the victory of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army on the battlefield, so they deliberately spread rumors. Lieutenant Colonel Steven also said on the side.
After all, Lieutenant Colonel Steven got so many benefits from the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. At the critical moment, it is natural to speak for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Otherwise, once something happens to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, where will he find so much income in the future!
Lieutenant General Stilwell nodded, and he also admitted that Lieutenant Colonel Steven had a point. Reasonably, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army did not have any reason to let go of Ri* himself. He also believed that Qin Shou would not have the courage to harm the interests of the United States. The current Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, although very strong. However, the foundation of all this is in the hands of the Americans. Although, Qin Shou had already realized this and started their industrial development. However, it is not possible to establish a sound industrial system in a short period of time.
Therefore, it is not difficult for the United States to destroy the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. It only needs to cut off their support, and this is enough to make the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army lose its development potential. It is precisely because of this that Lieutenant General Stilwell believes that Qin Shou will not be so stupid.
As for Lieutenant Colonel Steven's statement that the Navy is deliberately spreading rumors, this is entirely possible. The contradictions between the US Army and the Navy, although not very acute. But it's not nothing. In order to compete for more military spending and resources, the contradictions between the two armies will not be small. In particular, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army performed well on the Nanyang battlefield, annihilating hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops. Then, in comparison, the counterattack of the Navy in the Pacific Ocean seems to be a little insufficient. Under such circumstances, there is a complete reason why the Navy would be jealous of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
Another point is that Lieutenant General Steven is very satisfied with the performance of the Japanese National Salvation Army. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has become the most successful thing he has done during his tenure. President Roosevelt has even said that he will be promoted to general as soon as possible. Lieutenant General Stilwell knew that a large part of the reason for this was the performance of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. If it weren't for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, he didn't know how long it would be before he would have this opportunity. Under such circumstances, he naturally would not think of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in the worst way.
"Qin, if this is not something you did on purpose, then it is naturally the best. The U.S. government's support for the National Salvation Army against Japan has always been great. I hope that the friendly relations between the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the US Government will continue forever. Lieutenant General Stilwell said.
Qin Shou immediately stated that he and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would never forget the support and help of the US government, and would never be an enemy of the United States. In the war against Japan, it will fully cooperate with the United States and so on.
Regarding Qin Shou's statement, Lieutenant General Stilwell was very satisfied. In his opinion, this is Qin Shou's fear of the strength of the United States, which is an excellent thing.
Of course, being able to make a young general commanding hundreds of thousands of elite troops bow down to him also makes Lieutenant General Stilwell very satisfied.
"Qin, Bangkok has been knocked down by you. The Japanese army in Thailand and those who cooperated with the Japanese* themselves were also wiped out by you. The whole of Thailand, you will soon be in your hands. The U.S. government wants to know what kind of policies you plan to implement in Thailand. Lieutenant General Stilwell asked.
Qin Shou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. He knew that the previous incident had been passed safely. Lieutenant General Stilwell is not pursuing the case now, which also means that the US government will not pursue it again.
However, this can also be regarded as a warning to him. Although the U.S. government is fully supporting him. However, if he wants to make some small moves, the Americans will not agree.
What's more, the current Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is still too weak. In particular, the Americans held the life and death of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. This also made Qin Shou desperately hope that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army could be further strengthened. And to be able to gradually stand on their own feet, freed from the control of the Americans. In this way, we will be able to truly avoid being threatened by the Americans.
"General, the government institutions and social order in Thailand have been destroyed in this war. So, the next step is to rebuild the government institutions and social order here. I plan to establish a Thai* military junta, modeled on Burma. Qin Shou said.
