During this period, the weapons of the US military, although not the most advanced in the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, crushing the weapon of Xiao Ri * Ben, that is no problem at all. If the United States can meet Qin Shou's request and provide him with these weapons, he can smoothly reorganize 4 infantry divisions and 6 brigades. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army undoubtedly had the power to protect itself on the battlefield in Burma.

Of course, Qin Shou didn't know. The Japanese Southern Army has ordered the formation of the Burma Front. Four divisions and three independent mixed brigades will join the Burma battlefield. This will further enhance the Japanese military strength in Burma. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army wanted to defeat the Japanese army on the battlefield in Burma, which was undoubtedly more difficult.

"Commander Qin, I have a proposal for those soldiers that your army lacks." Major Steven said.

"Oh? What proposal? Qin Shou was very interested in this.

"China still has the largest population in the world so far. Although the physical fitness of the Chinese is very poor, it is not difficult to select enough soldiers from them. If you can get in touch with the Chongqing Nationalist Government, you will not be short of soldiers. Major Steven smiled.

Qin Shou shook his head: "Your Excellency Steven, since I changed the name of the unit to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, we and the Chongqing National Government have not been all the way. At the beginning, the expeditionary force was defeated, of course, there was treachery by the British. But in the same way, there are also reasons for the indiscriminate command of the top level of the expeditionary force. There was even Chairman Chiang's direct intervention in the command of the front. These are the main reasons why the expeditionary force and even the Chinese* army will fail on the battlefield.

When we were left behind, as outcasts, to serve as the task of blocking the enemy. We have nothing to do with the expeditionary force. From now on, we will fight only for ourselves! Of course, it would be best if the U.S. government could help us solve some of the problems with the soldiers, and we are very grateful. ”

Qin Shou's words undoubtedly showed his attitude. There are many reasons why Qin Shou made such a decision. On the one hand, Qin Shou wanted to grasp the military power and prevent the Chongqing Nationalist Government from interfering in the command of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. On the other hand, Qin Shou didn't want to be asked to return to China to fight a civil war after they defeated Ri* himself. Therefore, Qin Shou wanted to be based in Nanyang and no longer care about domestic affairs.

Major Steven smiled, and then said, "Commander Qin, I'll think of a way." The performance of the Chongqing Nationalist Government in this war was indeed a little worse. They have wasted too many troops. If these troops were under the command of Commander Qin, they might play a greater role. ”

At present, the Nationalist Government is asking the Americans to obtain a large amount of weapons and equipment and other assistance from the United States. If the Americans can help the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and get some soldiers from China, it is entirely possible. Of course, it depends on whether the US government is willing to help the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Although the strength of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is not very strong. However, they already have the rudiments of a powerful army. If this army is not controlled by the Nationalist Government and is pro-American, it will be of great benefit to the United States.

Most of Southeast Asia was a British colony. With the exception of the Philippines, the United States has little influence in Southeast Asia. If Qin Shou and the army he led can establish a pro-American regime in Southeast Asia, the influence of the United States in Southeast Asia will be greatly increased.

Although, Britain is now an ally of the United States. However, the United States is also planning for the post-war period. The goal of the Americans, however, was to completely pull the British off the throne of world hegemony through this war.

In the "Atlantic Charter" signed last year, the ambitions of the Americans were also revealed. They hoped that the people of the colonies would be able to determine the future of their peoples through national self-determination. This is undoubtedly a blatant digging into the corners of the British, hoping to make the colonial system that the British have worked so hard to maintain completely collapse. In that case, the British would no longer have the strength to compete with the United States for world hegemony.

"Your Excellency Steven, there are also many Chinese in the United States. If we can, we hope that the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army will be able to recruit among the Chinese in the United States. In this way, we will be stronger. Qin Shou proposed.

Now there are more than 100,000 Chinese in each. It is entirely possible to recruit 20,000 people from them. Qin Shou has seen a statistic from later generations, during World War II, there were 13,000 Chinese Americans serving in the American* army, 15,000 people. If these troops can join the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, then it will be enough for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to form another infantry division.

In addition, these Chinese Americans have a relatively high level of education and can occupy more important positions. For example, the Air Force, Navy, Artillery, Armored Corps, and so on.

"Commander Qin, this is a good idea. I'll talk to General Stilwell about this when I meet him. I believe that the US government should agree to this. Major Steven's eyes lit up.

Until now, the United States is still implementing the "Chinese Exclusion Act", which makes it impossible for many Chinese living in the United States to become American citizens. There are only more than 100,000 Chinese with American nationality. There are more Chinese without nationality.

If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can recruit troops from among those Chinese, it will undoubtedly solve many problems. On the one hand, the strength of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will be even stronger, which will contribute to the war situation in Southeast Asia. On the other hand, the ties between the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and the United States will also be even closer. It is even conducive to the United States to find a way to control the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in the future.

"Your Excellency Steven, in addition to weapons and equipment, we need an emergency assistance from the U.S. government. It is used to pay the military pay of the troops. In order to unite the combat effectiveness of the troops, the salaries of the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army are now half of those of the US military. That is, an infantryman, who is paid twenty-five dollars per month. But even then, a monthly military salary alone costs a million dollars. If you add in food and other expenses, it will cost at least two million dollars a month. So, I hope that the U.S. government will provide us with a $10 million in emergency assistance. ”

"Emergency assistance? Or ten million dollars? Steven couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

Although, now the United States has a lot of money. A lot of assistance was provided to the entire anti-fascist League. However, Qin Shou asked for 10 million US dollars when he opened his mouth, and it was really a bit of a lion who opened his mouth.

However, Major Steven also knew that the salary of the troops was indeed a big problem. Especially when the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army had no source of income.
