Chapter 181: The Americans' Shock

United States, Washington, Army Staff. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since the Japanese naval attack on Pearl Harbor gave the United States the opportunity to join the world war, it has become the busiest place for the American military. Now the United States has transformed its powerful industrial capacity into war power. They can be considered to have survived the most difficult time. In particular, after the victory in the Battle of Midway, the United States had stopped its decline in the Pacific Ocean and began to switch from defense to offense.

In the office of General Marshall, chief of staff of the US military, a debriefing is underway. Lieutenant General Stilwell, who had returned from the East, was reporting to Admiral Marshall on the situation in the Far East and Southeast Asia.

Frankly speaking, the Far Eastern Battlefield and the Southeast Asian Theater did not have any shining points at all. There are defeats everywhere, and the tide of battle has completely eroded. However, the sudden rise of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army gave Lieutenant General Stilwell hope. The reason why they chose to support the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army unreservedly was in the hope that they would be able to open up the situation on the battlefield in Burma. Fortunately, Lieutenant General Stilwell won the bet this time, and the performance of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was very good, allowing him to straighten his waist and return to the United States to report on his work.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, judging from the current situation, the Japanese themselves still have an absolute advantage in the Chinese battlefield and the battlefield in Southeast Asia. But, on the other hand, our allies are growing in strength. The war situation in Burma, in particular, has now developed in our favor. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which we support, is engaged in a decisive battle with the Japanese Burmese Front. By the time I left, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army had gained the upper hand. If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can win this decisive battle, perhaps we will be able to snatch Burma from the hands of the Japanese themselves. "Lieutenant General Stilwell is undoubtedly very optimistic about the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Stilwell, I'm very happy that the war in Myanmar is going to work in our favor. Originally, I thought that we would no longer be able to resist the Japanese in Myanmar. But once again, you surprised me. Admiral Marshall smiled.

Admiral Marshall and Lieutenant General Stilwell had a very good personal relationship, and the two were very good friends. In other respects, Admiral Marshall naturally did not hesitate to give more support to Lieutenant General Stilwell.

"Yes, Your Excellency Chief of Staff. In my opinion, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is undoubtedly a gift from God to the American Republic. If the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army can further develop and strengthen itself, marching from Burma to Thailand and the Malay Peninsula, and the United States from the Pacific Ocean, we will soon be able to defeat the Japanese themselves. Lieutenant General Stilwell said excitedly.

"Stilwell, it seems that you are very optimistic about the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. I also hope that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will be able to shoulder more responsibilities in future wars. Admiral Marshall nodded.

It was at this time that a staff officer walked in.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, there is an update." Staff officer reported.

"What's the situation?" Admiral Marshall asked.

"On the battlefield in Burma, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army completely annihilated the Japanese Burmese Front." Staff officer reported.

"What?" Admiral Marshall was amazed.

"So fast? Well done, I didn't expect them to win so quickly. Lieutenant General Stilwell smiled. Although, he had long expected that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would win. However, they did not expect to be able to achieve victory so quickly.

"Very good, very good. This news should also be known to His Excellency the President. Admiral Marshall said, then asking the officer to report the news to the White House.

Lieutenant General Stilwell was equally overjoyed, and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army grew with his support. The Anti-Japanese Salvation Army won the battle, and he also has credit!

"Stilwell, it seems that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is indeed worthy of our support. If we can eliminate more Japanese troops in Southeast Asia, then we will have much less pressure. "Admiral Marshall is in a good mood.

The strategy that the United States is now pursuing is to put Europe first and then Asia. That is, to help the allies in Europe to take out Germany first, and then to deal with Japan. As a result, the military supplies aided by the United States are given priority to Europe. There are very few who can get to Asia. This also makes it impossible for the US military to have an overwhelming advantage over Japan in the Pacific. If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can destroy more Japanese troops, the United States will be able to gain a greater advantage in the Pacific.

"Yes, Your Excellency Chief of Staff. However, the young general of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was a very greedy little guy. By the way, he also graduated from West Point. Lieutenant General Stilwell said.

"Oh? He has a big appetite? Admiral Marshall asked.

"Yes, his appetite is bigger than you think. When the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had just taken Myitkyina, he dared to open his mouth and ask for weapons and equipment sufficient to equip more than 100,000 people. And all of them are the standard equipment of the US Army, not the emasculated American mechanics like the Chinese Expeditionary Force. After he grew stronger, he wanted to build a strong air force, and even the navy. Lieutenant General Stilwell said.

Qin Shou's greed made Lieutenant General Stilwell a little displeased. If it weren't for the fact that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was very capable of fighting, and the United States urgently needed the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to open up the situation in Burma, he would definitely not agree to Qin Shou's almost blackmail request.

"Be greedy, there's nothing. As long as they can bring greater benefits to the United States. It is better for them to deal with the day * himself than for us to deal with the day * himself. American boys, you can't die too much in the Pacific. Admiral Marshall seemed unconcerned about this.

America's great industrial power has been transformed into war power, which has allowed them to manufacture a large number of weapons and equipment. The need of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was nothing to them.

What's more, compared with the British, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is undoubtedly much better on the battlefield in Southeast Asia. The British took so much aid from the United States, but they couldn't do anything. The U.S. aid was completely wasted. Rather than wasting it, it is better to give it to those who can really fight against the Japanese * himself.

Lieutenant General Stilwell nodded, and he thought the same thing. Therefore, when he distributed American aid, he would favor the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"By the way, Your Excellency Chief of Staff. Qin Shou, the young general of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, revealed his intention to occupy Burma. Do we want to support this? Lieutenant General Stilwell said suddenly. (To be continued.) )
