Chapter 184: Aid for Troop Changers
"General Stilwell, the number of Chinese in Burma is small, but there are a large number of Chinese in Caiyun Province, which is not far away, and the three southwestern provinces of China. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf the U.S. side is willing to help us, it is entirely possible to recruit enough troops from China. Qin Shou laid out his plan and discernment.
"Conscription from China?" Lieutenant General Stilwell frowned. Although, he had to admit that it was a good solution to the problem. However, will Yamashiro agree? You don't have to think about it to know that it's unlikely. In addition, Lieutenant General Stilwell is also Chairman Chiang, and now they are on the same page. I want Chairman Chiang to agree to the conscription of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, unless the sun comes out in the west.
"Yes, General, this is the only way we can solve the problem of soldiers."
"I know, but, Chairman Jiang of Shancheng, I'm afraid he won't agree." Lieutenant General Stilwell said.
"I believe that the U.S. side will definitely get Chairman Chiang to agree. If we can recruit enough troops from China, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army will add two infantry divisions. All these units will be reorganized into the 1st Group Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. After that, a 2nd Army of the same size was formed. At that time, it is entirely possible to leave one army group to train in Burma, and another army group to launch an attack on Thailand and the Malay Peninsula. Further end of the day * of my reign in the South Seas. Qin Shou began to draw a blueprint for Lieutenant General Stilwell's future.
Lieutenant General Stilwell was undoubtedly attracted, and if the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army could develop to two or three group armies and hundreds of thousands of people, it would be able to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese Southern Army. Help the United States in the Pacific Ocean and completely defeat the Japanese * himself.
"The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army really needs to develop and grow. However, as far as I know, Chairman Chiang is a very stubborn person. It's really hard to get him to nod. Although Lieutenant General Stilwell hoped that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would develop and grow as soon as possible, it would take on the main task of resisting the Japanese army in the Nanyang region. However, he was not at all sure how to convince Chairman Chiang.
"General, northern Burma is about to be under our control. The Yunnan-Burma Highway will be reopened. All the supplies destined for China have to pass through here. If Chairman Chiang agrees to our terms, we can provide them with supplies. On the other hand, if you don't agree, you can cut off the supply of materials. Qin Shou said.
Although, it's a bit unorthodox. However, in order to develop and grow, Qin Shou can only make this decision.
Lieutenant General Stilwell nodded. Indeed, the power to distribute aid is in his hands. If he had asked Chairman Chiang to allow the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to recruit troops in the country on this condition, Chairman Chiang would have no choice but to refuse.
As the Japanese offensive became more and more fierce, the pressure on the mountain castle side also increased. U.S. assistance is becoming more and more important to Yamashiro.
"Okay, Qin, I'll get in touch with Shancheng in this regard. I will try my best to get Chairman Chiang to agree. Lieutenant General Stilwell said.
"Thank you very much, General." Qin Shou hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"During this time, I will lead the army to attack south, defeat the Japanese army entrenched in southern Burma, and seize the whole of Burma." Qin Shou continued.
He knew that what the Americans wanted to see was undoubtedly that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would continue to attack the Japanese army, and then let the Japanese army put its main force into the battle against the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, so as to reduce the pressure on the American army.
Lieutenant General Stilwell nodded: "It is indeed very important to conquer southern Burma. If you can have a port, American aid can reach you directly by sea. This kind of supply will be more convenient. In addition, the heavy equipment you need, as well as the equipment needed for the development of the military industry, can also be shipped. Otherwise, even if the United States agrees to support you, it will not be able to do so due to the constraints of transportation conditions. ”
Qin Shou deeply thought that a port was too important for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
In the afternoon, Lieutenant General Stilwell left Mandalay. He also had to go to China to force Chairman Chiang to provide more soldiers. And this has nothing to do with Qin Shou. He continued to lead the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and defeating the Japanese army was the most important thing.
As Qin Shou expected, Chairman Chiang sternly rejected Lieutenant General Stilwell's proposal.
Although, now there are a large number of refugees in the three southwestern provinces. The mountain city government has no way to deal with these refugees. However, Chairman Chiang would rather these refugees starve to death than let them join the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
General Stilwell tried many ways, but Chairman Chiang could not get any of them. With no choice but to order all aid from the mountain city government, Lieutenant General Stilwell had no choice but to cut off all aid from the mountain city government.
This time, Chairman Jiang was immediately blinded. On the frontal battlefield, they were attacked by the Japanese and suffered heavy losses, and they were preparing to wait for the opening of the Yunnan-Burma Highway to get more aid from the Americans in order to rearmament. However, he did not expect Lieutenant General Stilwell to directly cut off the aid, which undoubtedly frustrated Chairman Chiang's plan.
As a result, the official residence remembered Chairman Jiang's angry scolding of 'Niang Xipi'. But even then, they can't do anything about it.
Even Chairman Chiang contacted the U.S. government to complain about Lieutenant General Stilwell's actions. But Lieutenant General Stilwell had already been in contact with the country. Because it involves the development and growth of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army supported by the US military, it is related to whether they can defeat the Japanese army in the Pacific theater as soon as possible. Therefore, the US government did not pay attention to Chairman Chiang on this issue.
This also made Chairman Chiang see clearly that the Americans were not on his side at all.
In desperation, Chairman Chiang had no choice but to convene high-ranking officials of the government and military to discuss countermeasures.
In this regard, the senior officials have no other way. The Americans are now biting to death, and if the Yamashiro government does not provide soldiers to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it will not give them assistance. To put it bluntly, it is to help exchange soldiers. If the Yamashiro government agrees, that's good for everyone. If you don't agree, then split it up.
After the defeat of the expeditionary force, Lieutenant General Stilwell also asked the Yamashiro government to recruit more soldiers, expand the expeditionary force, and prepare to continue fighting in Burma at an appropriate time.
But later, after the rise of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, Lieutenant General Stilwell's eyes were on the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Those newly recruited soldiers of the expeditionary force will not be needed for a while. Chairman Chiang was also happy to prepare to organize these soldiers into his own troops. But now it seems that in exchange for the assistance of the Americans, these troops still have to be sent out! (To be continued.) )
