"Should I call you Your Excellency the Commander, or should I be a junior?" Lieutenant General Stilwell looked at Qin Shou with a smile on his face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Senior, it's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for your help. Qin Shou immediately climbed up the pole. He was a graduate of West Point, as was Lieutenant General Stilwell. However, Lieutenant General Stilwell graduated from West Point in 1904, more than 30 years before him.

"Haha! I am very happy to have such an outstanding student as you. After all, in the whole of the United States, no one has become the commander of a force of more than 100,000 people at the age of twenty-two. You're definitely the only one of all West Point graduates! Lieutenant General Stilwell laughed. It can be seen that he admires Qin Shou very much. Although, among the graduates of the West Point Military Academy, there are many bulls, including many senior generals of the US Army. However, Qin Shou is definitely the only one who has such a great achievement at a young age.

With this relationship between the senior and the junior, the relationship between Qin Shou and Lieutenant General Stilwell can't help but get a lot closer.

Next, Qin Shou led Lieutenant General Stilwell to observe the various units of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army that were being trained. After a few days of refitting and training, most of these troops were replaced with American-style equipment and began to train in a proper manner. It's just that because there are too many recruits, it will take a long time to form combat effectiveness.

"Are these heroic soldiers the warriors who wiped out two Japanese divisions?" Lieutenant General Stilwell asked.

"Seniors, most of these fighters are recruits. At the beginning, the 33rd Division and the 55th Division of the Japanese Army were destroyed by the main regiments of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. However, the troops were expanded, and several of the main regiments were scattered. Although, now the combat effectiveness of the troops has not yet been formed. But I believe that soon they will be an elite force. And because of the change to more advanced American equipment, the combat effectiveness will be stronger. Qin Shou is naturally full of confidence in his troops.

Lieutenant General Stilwell nodded, the force in front of him, although it looked a little green. However, in the eyes of those soldiers, he could see bravery and perseverance. This is undoubtedly an important condition for becoming a powerful force. He was not able to see this in many other units. He had to admit that this young junior was really good at leading troops.

Now, Lieutenant General Stilwell has gathered more information from all sides, and knows more about the achievements of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army on the battlefield in Burma. Although, every time the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army fought more and less. But he was very clear about the ferocity of the Japanese army. In the previous battles, the British army and the Chinese expeditionary force combined were far superior to the Japanese army in terms of strength. However, in the end, they were defeated.

However, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was able to continuously win victories, and even broke the record, encircling and annihilating two divisions of the Japanese army in one fell swoop. This undoubtedly shows the combat effectiveness of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Lieutenant General Stilwell also believes that in the future, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will definitely shine on the battlefield in Burma. And the situation in Myanmar and even in Southeast Asia will change because of this.

The 4 main infantry divisions and 6 brigades under the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, Qin Shou took Lieutenant General Stilwell to see them. Although there are still various problems, it is clear to everyone that this is inevitable at a time of large-scale expansion of the troops. It is already very commendable that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can achieve such an extent.

At noon, I was at the headquarters and had a simple lunch. Although the conditions are simple, everyone is a soldier and does not care about this.

After that, Lieutenant General Stilwell rested for an hour and held a meeting with Qin Shou and Liu Shiquan.

"Junior brother, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, this brand-new unit, gave me a great shock. I really can't believe that such a newly formed army can defeat the Japanese army on the battlefield in Burma and achieve a huge victory. However, I am confident that you will achieve more and greater victories in the future. Lieutenant General Stilwell smiled.

"Senior, I am our common enemy, and we are also our enemies. We won't stop until we defeat them. However, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is still very weak, and it is almost impossible to defeat the Japanese * himself with our own strength. So, we need help from the United States. Qin Shou said sincerely.

At present, the United States is the backbone of the entire anti-fascist alliance, and almost all the battlefields are receiving US assistance. Otherwise, you won't be able to hold on at all.

Lieutenant General Stilwell nodded, of course he knew Qin Shou's purpose. It's just that supporting the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will also be of great benefit to the United States. Especially when the war situation in Southeast Asia as a whole has been eroded.

"The United States will provide the weapons, equipment, and supplies that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army needs in the future. However, the transportation conditions from India to Myanmar are too bad, which seriously restricts the transportation of materials. Lieutenant General Stilwell said with a frown.

Qin Shou nodded, the traffic problem is indeed a big problem.

"Senior, after the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army completes its reorganization, we will launch a new round of attacks against the Japanese army. This time, we are trying to attack south and take the coast of southern Burma. Capture at least one seaport. In this case, the United States can directly hand over the supplies to us by sea. However, the Japanese navy still has a lot of strength in the Indian Ocean, and this is a huge threat. ”

For this point, Qin Shou has also considered it for a long time. Without a port, if you rely only on land transportation, the supply of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will become a big problem. Especially after the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army became more and more developed and strengthened, the weapons and ammunition required for each war were astronomical. If the supply is not smooth, this will seriously limit their combat effectiveness. If a seaport could be obtained in southern Myanmar, all problems would be solved.

"The Japanese Navy is indeed a threat. Soon, however, they will lose interest in the Indian Ocean. The U.S. Navy will launch a decisive battle against the Japanese Navy on Kuah Island. We are in the Pacific Ocean, and we will also launch a full-scale counteroffensive. The Japanese navy, on the other hand, is the main target of our counterattack. When the time comes, they will definitely shrink in full force and will not deploy too much force in the Indian Ocean. The U.S. Navy can also send a fleet to the Indian Ocean to remove the threat from the Japanese navy. Lieutenant General Stilwell said.

Qin Shou nodded, if it could be like this, it would naturally be the best. However, the U.S. Navy's launch of the Kuah Island Campaign also gave Qin Shou a sense of urgency. Because, after the US army won the battle of Kuah Island, it will have a full-scale counteroffensive. If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army wants to seize the entire South Seas, it must speed up.
