Chapter 260: Compensation

"Qin, no matter what, the British Empire is an ally of the American Republic. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info You are the same, you all belong to the anti-fascist alliance. Therefore, it is better for this conflict between you and the British to end immediately. We have a common enemy, the Japanese themselves, and if you fight hard with the British, won't that mean that you have given the Japanese themselves a good chance? Lieutenant General Stilwell advised.

He knew that if he wanted the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army to release those British prisoners, he had to convince Qin Shou. If Qin Shou didn't nod, everything would be empty talk. Of course, Lieutenant General Stilwell can also directly use the United States' aid to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to put pressure on Qin Shou, in that case, Qin Shou has no choice if he disagrees. However, this will undoubtedly cause a huge rift between the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the United States. This will be very detrimental to their future strategy. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Lieutenant General Stilwell will not use that method.

"General Stilwell, it's not us who provoke the British, it's them who are attacking us. All the fighting took place in Burma. We are just a passive defense in the face of the invasion of the British. "Qin Shou is not willing to take the responsibility of provoking conflict.

"That's true. But, after all, Burma was a colony of the British. Although you have already occupied Burma. However, the British will not recognize this. Although, the U.S. government is willing to recognize your upcoming military junta. However, there are many things that cannot be put on the table. Lieutenant General Stilwell said.

Although the U.S. government supported the establishment of a military government by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, it was only a private act. Ostensibly, the U.S. government still had to abide by the alliance between them and the British.

Qin Shou nodded, of course he knew this. The Americans also had to rely on the British to hold off the Germans in Europe. If the British can't stop it, the Germans will dominate the whole of Europe, which is definitely not a good thing for the Americans.

"General Stilwell, in order to destroy the invading British, our troops have paid a lot of losses. If the British prisoners are released in this way, I am afraid I will not be able to give an account to the brethren. Qin Shou said.

Lieutenant General Stilwell came forward, and Qin Shou knew that the release of those British prisoners of war was inevitable. However, he did not want to release those British prisoners of war in vain. He had to find a way to get more out of it. Otherwise, it's not his character to suffer.

"Qin, do you still want the British to pay the ransom? How is this possible? In this war, the British have already smashed the pot and sold iron. For this, they also owe the United States a huge foreign debt. Lieutenant General Stilwell smiled as if he were rejoicing at the decline of Britain.

Qin Shou also understands this situation. The two world wars depleted the wealth that the British had accumulated over hundreds of years, and they owed the Americans a lot of money. In order to pay off their debts, they even transferred those colonies in the Caribbean to the Americans. The Americans, on the other hand, took advantage of these two world wars to make a fortune from the war. This makes the United States the world's largest creditor country in one fell swoop. And in this way, they completed their counterattack, replacing Britain in one fell swoop and becoming the world hegemon.

"Besides, Qin, you may not know about the other conditions proposed by the British. They also demanded that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army must withdraw from Burma and return Burma to them. At the same time, they will hand you over to them. The U.S. government, of course, rejected these demands of the British. The Anti-Japanese Salvation Army is an important ally of ours, how could we agree to such conditions to the British? Lieutenant General Stilwell said righteously. It looks like the U.S. government is taking good care of the little brother of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. At the same time, it is also a disguised pressure on the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. said that they had done their best, and the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army also needed to make some concessions.

"All right, General Stilwell. I know that the U.S. government has stepped in. Then we have to release the British prisoners. But you can't just leave us with no compensation, right? In order to win this battle, the price we have to pay is not small. And, if we hadn't defeated the British, you would have known what would have happened. Qin Shou looked aggrieved.

Indeed, if the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army had not defeated the British in this battle, then they would have lost all of Burma. Even the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will cease to exist. The consequences will be severe.

"Qin, what compensation do you want?" Lieutenant General Stilwell asked.

He also knew that it was really unfair for the US government to let the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army release those British prisoners with one order. However, in this world, there is no fairness, and some just depend on whose fist is bigger. A big fist means truth.

"General, you should know that in the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, there are still a lot of Japanese* Type 92 infantry guns and grenadiers. These two weapons are not equipped by the US * army. However, in jungle warfare and mountain warfare, these two light weapons are very suitable. We hope that the United States will be able to hand over to us the equipment and technology for the production of these two weapons. In this way, at least these two weapons, we can be self-sufficient. Qin Shou said.

Although, the US army was not armed with Type 92 infantry guns and grenadiers. However, with the scientific and technological strength of the United States, there will be no problem at all in replicating these two weapons.

Lieutenant General Stilwell thought for a moment, then nodded and accepted the condition.

Anyway, in the agreement between the U.S. government and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the U.S. government wanted to help the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army establish an ordnance system. At that time, in addition to tanks, armored vehicles, and airplanes, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will have to make its own weapons. Even for tanks, armored vehicles and airplanes, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would obtain key equipment from the United States and assemble it itself. So, adding two more weapons and equipment, this is nothing at all.

"In addition, General, we hope that the US government's industrial assistance to us will begin as soon as possible. In January next year, and at the latest in February, we will resume the offensive against the Japanese themselves. When the time comes, we will need more war materials. Qin Shou said.

"Okay, that's no problem, I'll rush the country." Lieutenant General Stilwell nodded, it wasn't a big deal.

"In that case, General Stilwell, then we won't have a problem." Qin Shou said with satisfaction.
