Under a waning moon, the boatswain drove a small motor boat to send five members of the special team ashore, this time Lin's team will carry a lot of extra equipment, as well as two members of the team who do not come ashore often - Qin Xiaosu, a ghost listener, and He Ming, a skillful hand. He Ming is an expert in forgery and camouflage, good at making fake documents and bills, of course, repairing equipment, building communication networks, and camouflage large-scale facilities, when 419 stopped in Hangzhou Bay, he was responsible for designing camouflage facilities, and Japanese planes flew several times without finding it; In addition to fighting, this is his shortcoming. According to Lin's plan, once the communication station is completed, the two of them will be in charge of the operation of the facility.

If it weren't for Lu Qingshan and Shu Ping who needed to perform other important tasks, Lin Xiuxuan would also take them. The task he faced was too difficult, and he needed to bring everyone who could use it.

Wearing night vision devices, the group could clearly see in the distance that British cargo ships that did not dare to turn on their lights were quietly approaching the port of Rakhine, and now the British had to compete with the Japanese for transport capacity, and a well-equipped brigade of the British army, which was being transported from North Africa, was Alexander's main bet to turn the tide. But time was more favorable to the Japanese, and once the war in Singapore was decided, the Japanese would quickly reinforce the 15th Army in the direction of Burma.

They arrived at the selected landing site, which was a shoal, and there was an unmanned barracks 1 km behind, and the drone observed that the gate had been blocked, and the vines had obscured the main building, apparently abandoned for a long time, this was exactly where Lin wanted, and every time he landed, he had to find a building near the sea and no one approached it as a base, especially this time, carrying too much equipment.

Everyone disembarked, carrying heavy equipment on their backs, crackling and treading on the water to make their way forward.

While the task force was making a difficult landing on the west coast of Myanmar, Jingdong, a small town with beautiful scenery on the border between China and Myanmar, was 700 kilometers away. Chu Aiyun was driving a jeep to Chiang Kai-shek's temporary residence with his superiors...... The best mountain villa in Jingdong.

Chiang and his wife held a banquet tonight to entertain high-ranking military officials, and there were no British and American people in attendance, and it seemed that they had something to say to their soldiers in private. There were not many people invited, and the personnel of the 6th Army and the 66th Army, which were scheduled to enter Burma, were not invited, and several division commanders of the 5th Army were invited. It seems that this leader is still very concerned about the difference between relatives and relatives, the 5th Army is naturally the descendant of the Central Army, and most of the officers are from the Whampoa department and are his students, so what I want to discuss today is a matter that may not be confidential but very confidant.

As for Chu Aiyun, pollution is not a descendant of Huangpu, and the level is far from there, but it has also won this honor, which can be listed among them. He didn't know what to talk about, but Du Yuming had reminded him that if the president asked about the war situation, it was best to talk more about the reasons why he couldn't fight, and it was obvious that Du still knew his principal.

The car circled around the mountains until it finally reached the bottom of the high wall, where the guard force was half a battalion, the periphery was a 200th division special service company, and the internal guard was a guard unit trusted by Chiang, a total of three posts.

The two cars arrived at the door, and Du Yuming and the following people got out of the car, and now they registered at the door to hand in their pistols, and then went upstairs accompanied by guards.

Chiang Kai-shek was already waiting in the dining room, and unlike the noon uniform, he was wearing a long gown and looked more casual, and he looked quite old among the soldiers in military uniform.

Luo Zhuoying, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, had already arrived first and was seated, and the rest of the generals of the 5th Army were seated one after another. Chu Aiyun also stood on the edge of the table, of course, because it was a round table, the dignity was not obvious, but he still stood at the farthest position from the president, but he was facing Lao Jiang, and he could see his beard clearly when he looked up.

He peeked at the chairman of the committee opposite, and his expression was very good, and he didn't know if the British had a request and said a lot of good things.

"Don't be informal, feel free."

Jiang said that he took the lead and sat down, followed by Madame, and then the generals sat down slowly, poor Chu Aiyun waited until the end to sit down quietly, his emotional intelligence is not low, and these things are basically self-taught.

"Have you heard about today's big news?" As soon as the chairman sat down, he raised his voice and asked.

"No, the Soviet ......," Luo Zhuoying asked respectfully as he turned sideways.

"That's it." Jiang Han smiled and nodded, "Come, have a drink first, and then talk about business." As he spoke, he raised his glass, and a circle of people quickly stood up.

Lao Jiang craned his neck and did it first as a respect.

"I don't drink alcohol on weekdays, but today is different, I have to make an exception, I have to make an exception."

Everyone didn't know what to mean, so they also toasted and waited for the following.

"Yesterday afternoon, Soviet Ambassador Pan Youxin transmitted a telegram from Marshal Stalin, informing us that Moscow would be abandoned for a short time...... The letter also said that it is necessary to pay close attention to the progress of the Japanese in oil exploitation in Manchuria and to make a decision as soon as possible......," Chiang Kai-shek said proudly.

"In the telegram, Stalin called the chairman the most tenacious leader of the war, who would surely dominate the turn of the war." Madame Chiang added, "Actually, there is more to it than that, in the letter of Prime Minister Churchill forwarded by Marshal Alexander today, you are also called an indispensable defender of the democratic world. And President Roosevelt, too, sent a telegram saying......"

"Hey, there's no need to mention this, I don't value these high hats, and I won't eat this set." Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and interrupted his wife, but what should have been said was actually said.

"The headmaster is wise." Du Yuming said.

"Do you know why they compliment me? Actually, not for me personally, but to compliment you...... You are the backbone of my country, and you are where my courage lies......" He seemed to be moved by emotion, leaving his seat with his hands behind his back and walking to the balcony alone, "Moscow is lost, Singapore is in danger." Manila is on the horizon...... How can such a dilemma be turned? Where is the world looking now? Where to look? ”

He asked both sides where to look.

"Yes, now the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union are going to rely on us." Luo Zhuoying felt some essentials and inserted a mouthful.

"Yes, we have held out for 4 and a half years, what are those former powers doing? France died in March, and the Soviet Union fought like this for half a year. Two months after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the United States and Britain also lost their armor, and the current situation can be said to be in danger for the allies. Hey......"

Du Yuming seemed to hear some bad signs, Chu Aiyun found that his brows were tightened, obviously he heard that the principal was preparing to come out at the most difficult time of the world anti-fascist war, which was what he had been worried about.

"So far, that's true. The Axis side is going well, it's crazy, and the Allies really need to win a battle to boost the morale of the people...... In my opinion......" Luo Zhuoying said.

"What about the aid of the Americans?" Du Yuming interrupted Luo Zhuoying, and of course it was inevitable to interrupt the principal's interest.

"Well, Chennault gave me a plan, and Stilwell said it would work, just wait for Stimson's approval. Their aid would be disembarked at Indian ports, transported by rail to Assam in the north, and then transported by American transport planes to Kunming. ”

"Cross-border Hengduan Mountain air transport? The losses will be huge, right? ”

"Stilwell complained to me that the damage must be huge, so much so that Chennault said that this was the duty of the American allies, and he calculated that the loss would not be greater than the proportion of the sinking of German submarines on the Atlantic route."

Du Yuming didn't ask more, he didn't want to ask too much in front of the principal, it would be too unorthodox, he wanted to remind the principal of the current difficulties flexibly, of course, to the point.

Seeing that the atmosphere was dull and no one spoke, Chiang Kai-shek simply continued.

"This afternoon, General Alexander and I talked about plans to jointly expel the Japanese troops in Burma and restore the Yangman Railway. He assured me that as long as we worked together to drive out the Japanese, the Royal Navy would be back in a few months to secure supplies to Rangoon. At that time, the main artery of the Yunnan-Burma Highway can also be restored. Stilwell also agrees with such a plan, and the Americans will support it as much as possible. ”

Things finally developed in the direction that Du Yuming was worried about, and the principal still didn't block the sugar-coated cannonball of Britain and the United States, and seemed to be ready to let it go.

"Well, it's a good time for the international community to look at us." Luo Zhuoying hurriedly added that every word he said spoke to Chiang Kai-shek's heart, probably because he did not participate in the inspection delegation and did not know much about the situation in southern Burma.

"With all due respect." Liao Yaoxiang stood up suddenly, "War does not only depend on the time of day, such as today is in my hands, but the location is favorable and the people are in the hands of the enemy. Next to him, Du Yuming hurriedly nodded in agreement, but Chu Aiyun noticed that Dai Anlan, the commander of the 200th Division, did not nod in agreement, and his brows tightened as if he had other ideas.

"How do you talk about this location, people?" Chiang Kai-shek asked tepidly, looking very generous.

"With all due respect. In the battle in southern Burma, the enemy relied on the superior navy, which could be replenished near the port, while our side only had a narrow-gauge railway, which had a difficult road through the mountains and had no air supremacy, so it could be blown up by the Japanese at any time. The local natives of Burma have always hated the British and regarded the Japanese as liberators, and the southern organs have been operating for a long time, and they have cultivated thousands of ways to sit and explore, which is a human and insufficient. With these two things, I'm afraid I can't fight. ”

"That's right, what Jian Chu said, every sentence is to the point, soldiers, the major affairs of the country, and the way of survival in the land of death and life must be investigated," Chiang Kai-shek nodded in affirmation, "It was General Stilwell who talked to me about the Japanese invaders who were greedy and reckless in the South Seas, and now the troops are scattered, and now there are only two disqualified Division B divisions ashore in Burma, with no more than 30,000 soldiers and no more than 100 guns. ”

"Headmaster, based on the observations made by the students before the fall of Mawlamyine, there are more than a hundred artillery pieces taken from the British alone. The ammunition that was stolen had at least a dozen bases. There are also countless vehicles, horses, and grains. Now the British have long lost their courage, and they are afraid that they will suffer from it. Liao Yaoxiang dared to speak more than Du Yuming, and he was not afraid of sweeping away Lao Jiang's prosperity.

"Yes, what Jian Chu said is not an exaggeration, and it is also a student who has seen it in the past two months. The British are already in a state of collapse in Burma, and they cannot be entrusted to the flanks. Du Yuming hurriedly vouched for Liao Yaoxiang.

General Alexander did not mention this. He only said that most of the British troops that had suffered repeated defeats in Nanyang were colonial regiments, and the proportion of British soldiers was very low, and their weapons were insufficient. However, the 7th Brigade, which was about to be transferred, was actually a strong force to defeat Rommel. If they join forces with our armored forces, they may be able to drive the Japanese army into the sea in one fell swoop. ”

Of course, it is fair to say that the war itself serves politics, and Chiang's focus on opening up the Yunnan-Burma Highway and insisting on making a turn in the anti-fascist camp to improve the status of the Chinese battlefield is also a strategic vision.

"Yan Gong, what do you think?" Chiang Kai-shek turned to Dai Anlan.

Dai Anlan, who had not spoken, suddenly raised his head and drank a glass of white wine, and slammed the cup on the table.

"Although it is a little reluctant, it is not impossible to fight, if you really want to fight, my 200th division can take the lead."
