"I didn't think about what you said...... Chu Tingchang said.

"Master, how can you not want to? In this world, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden. The mountain here is high and the emperor is far away, Lao Jiang wants to reach out to you, where is it so easy? If you resist it, tens of thousands of people will be mechanized in the future, but it will be yours. If you go back in the future, even if you hand over the military power, you can at least change to a big official. Now let it go, cheapen outsiders for nothing? ”

"But it's hard to resist."

"What bullshit, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake, leave this matter to me, I will contact the brothers, no matter who comes, come first and let him get out of the way. Master, you don't have to do it yourself, just sit on the side and pretend to be a good person. ”

"This is a bad statement, how can you pretend to be a good person?" Chu Tingchang was slightly dissatisfied, "However, you can give it a try." If we can drive the people away, it will be the best, if we can't get rid of them, we can't let him interfere with the command, let him stay behind, take care of logistics and the handover between the United States and Britain, and be a virtual army commander. ”

"Well, that's what I mean, most of these brothers under the account are affectionate and righteous, and this little thing makes sense, but that Tao Mingzhang talks about some big truths all day long, not like a moral, I don't know if Lao Zhou is sure, you see how it is facing that Director Guo now, I think there must be a backbone in the back of my head. We'll have to guard against him. ”

Chu Tingchang knew that Zhou Youfu was taking the opportunity to sow discord again, but at this moment, he could indeed send a big henchman, so he was left to talk nonsense.

"Sun Liren is asking someone to help, so I will let Tao Mingzhang go with the favor, so as not to make it difficult for him. I said Lao Zhou, what do you think, how is Director Guo? ”

"This person, it seems that he still knows each other, every time we have a military meeting, he doesn't interject or speak, just watch, but people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows what they think in their hearts. In my old Zhou's feeling, this person is not simple. ”

"Oh, why isn't it easy?"

"At that time, I came back from Tingjiang with him, and I spent a few days with him on the train, and I saw that the suitcase he was carrying was torn, and the socks were all mended, so I really didn't look like a big man."

"You know how to mend socks."

"You look at my Lao Zhou like a rough man, but in fact, he is meticulous, Tao Mingzhang peeks at those forbidden books that teach people to learn bad things, and he can't hide it from my eyes. So I think that this Director Guo and Tao Mingzhang are like each other, so it is not surprising that they are so close to each other. ”

"Bad learning?"

"Of course, our country has been in the limelight since ancient times, and those books are to teach people to disobey the heavens and the earth, and to rebel against the landlords and the squires for the peasants, and to incite the workers to strike and the students to march, so that everyone will not be uneasy about their duties and commit rebellion. Think about it, if these people are successful, they won't smash the Jade Emperor God main card? ”

"Oh."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, our division won't be able to hide the Communist Party."

"That's for you."

The two of them soon arrived at the headquarters, and the rest of them were already there, Zhou Youfu followed Chu Tingchang in, with an angry look on his face, obviously after talking just now, his relationship with the division was closer again.

Chu Tingchang walked to the conference table, looked around at everyone, and found that Guo Rugui did not come.

"Where's Director Guo?"

"Oh, Director Guo, I'm going to the other side of the river on the American liaison plane. He said that since we have won here, it is better to investigate the attack of Sun Liren's army. He's interested in Slim's new jungle raid. Tao Mingzhang said.

"It's okay, Director Guo is not here, and they are all my own people here. I'll give you a briefing first, our unit will soon be expanded into the 5th Army. ”

For the soldiers, the resumption of the 5th Army meant that the opportunity to counterattack northern Burma was a shameful one, and of course it was also an excellent opportunity for personal promotion.

"Above, I feel that dealing with Britain and the United States needs an old and serious military commander, and I am afraid that someone Chu will not be able to carry this burden, so I have to send a military commander."

Chu Tingchang said a word, and there was a dead silence below. Everyone was stunned and overwhelmed.

"Isn't that nonsense?" Zhou Youfu was the first to slap the table and jumped out, as if he was also unprepared to hear that a military commander was coming.

"Brothers, this is obviously to empty our master's seat, but it is not moral, if we allow Chongqing to send someone to be the commander of this army, in the future, we must not let anyone ride on our necks?"

Chu Tingchang watched coldly, and he noticed that Zhou Youfu's so-called ethics or morality was actually a mixture of a set of feudal ethics and rules of the rivers and lakes.

Zhou Youfu took the lead in attacking, and sure enough, it led to the atmosphere, and the people behind him began to vie with each other to speak.

"Yes, we all came all the way from northern Myanmar, without Chu Shizuo, he would have been killed by Du Yuming a long time ago, this matter must not be messed up with above, and the newcomer must be driven away."

"That is, it is Master Chu who took us from birth to death, how can a random person take away the military power? If a blind commander comes, won't he drag down the dead brothers? ”

"I felt that the foxes in the nearby fields were wailing for the past two days, and there was really something ominous."

"In the morning, I was on the construction site of the Wusheng Temple, and I dug up a stone man, with a nose and eyes, do you say that the evil door is not an evil door? I don't know which dynasty and which generation left it, and the bulldozer can't push it. Lao Tzu felt that something was wrong. Later, the sappers blew it up. ”

Chu Tingchang didn't say a word, carefully observing everyone's performance, only Tao Mingzhang sat there calmly, without saying a word, and didn't seem to be in a hurry to show his loyalty.

"Okay, okay, all quiet." Chu Tingchang saw that the fire was almost over, and got up to invite everyone to quiet down, "Today's military meeting, I won't discuss this." I am wholeheartedly committed to resisting and serving the country, and I have no desire for personal status. ”

With a very high attitude, he calmed down the argument. Of course, I already have a bottom in my heart, and no matter who comes, I can drive it away.

"The second thing, Sisun Liren called, saying that the remnants of the enemy near Chittagong may flee east into the forest area, and he said that our 200th division has left northern Myanmar and fought in the jungle for a long time, or we can send an army across the river to cooperate with him and Slim in pursuit, and it can also be used as a warm-up for the counteroffensive in northern Burma."

"This Sun Liren can't even say a kind word, and if he asks us to help, he will say the same as lifting us." Zhou Youfu was blessed, and muttered again.

"But it's not rough." Tao Mingzhang finally spoke, "I heard that Slim's Anglo-Burmese coalition army has just won a battle in northern Burma and ambushed two Japanese engineer brigades, which shows that its combat strength has improved rapidly. Their set of tactics of combining airdrops in the forest with guerrilla warfare in the jungle has almost taken shape. It doesn't hurt us to learn more. ”

"What the name seal said is true, I am intending to let you take the troops on a trip. The newly arrived battalions were all recruited by Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou, and they can fight in the mountains and endure hardships, so you can take them to train the soldiers. ”

"Yes!"

"Slim has a fierce general named Wingate, in fact, you and I have a relationship with him, and he is a ruthless character, remember not to lose to him."

"Rest assured."

"By the way, I have a sergeant here, I captured Pu Jie alive a few days ago, saying that he was born in Orion, the gun is extremely accurate, and he has the ability to track in the jungle, I asked him to report to you, you can investigate. What about us here, meritocracy, not background. ”

"Yes!"

"Also, yesterday American reporters photographed our army robbing the mansion of a wealthy Indian businessman, and it is rumored that they also used tanks to push the Indian temple...... Why bother, tell me what's going on? Fortunately, I have some connections in the United States and Britain, so I have pressed it down. ”

"Boss, these Indians are rich and unkind, colluding with the Japanese to oppose us, it is said that they are all guilty of shooting, don't we want to build a martial temple but gold? The day before yesterday, I sent someone to tell the local big family and the abbot of the temple, saying that we should ask Master Guan here to protect the peace of the party, and let them each donate gold, which is considered atonement. Most of them were handed over, but there were a few that were against us, especially the big temple in the east of the city that was dedicated to the elephant spirit of Lion Camel Mountain, and the people who beat me because of the large number of people, then we were not ambiguous, so we bulldozed his temple. This is also fair to those who have paid the money. Do you say? ”

"You seem to have some truth in this nonsense," Chu Tingchang nodded, he needed to buy people's hearts now, and he shouldn't embarrass his subordinates, "But how did you let the reporter take pictures?" Won't you send troops to ban the nearby streets first? ”

"I was negligent, next time ......"

"Listen, this place used to be the opium distribution center of the East India Company, and the opium that came to China was loaded here, so I asked the local big families to donate, not only to collude with the Japanese to compensate, but also to atone for their ancestors. But...... Military discipline must be rectified, and it is absolutely impossible to set up for robbery. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce is also here, and it is best to let them let them out of the local gems, timber, medicine, and inland waterway shipping business. ”

Except for Tao Mingzhang, who bowed his head and wrote hard, the rest of the people couldn't stop nodding.

"The last thing, Vivier is going to do a joint city-entry style. Early tomorrow morning, drive all the locals into the streets, hand them small flags of China, Britain and the United States, and let them welcome them, and tell them that whoever dares to throw the flag or cry with a sad face, the Allies have a way to deal with them. ”

The No. 419 submarine has also quietly docked at a small island in the Bay of Bengal at this time, allowing the sailors to go ashore to broadcast it, and at the same time, because the war has stopped for a while, they have to take back the drone for maintenance.

The island was the place where the submarines were finally found after careful observation, and the RAF had recently become more and more active, constantly crossing the sea to reconnoiter Sittwe, searching for the last battleship near Chittagong, so it was necessary to avoid these routes so as not to be seen from the air.

The trio on board continued to discuss their next steps. Judging from the current situation, the counteroffensive in northern Myanmar will have to wait until September at the earliest, that is, there will be no major fighting except for the jungle war in northern Myanmar, which may start early. Then 419 will have a golden opportunity to get out of here and track down the Japanese traverser. From the analysis of the various intelligence intercepted, Asano may be in Burma, but it is a target that can be solved nearby, but at present, it seems that Asano's influence on the battle situation is becoming smaller and smaller, and Makino, who is proficient in technology, is indeed an extremely dangerous existence. Not only can he design guided weapon systems for the Japanese Empire, but he also has basic concepts for other types of technology, which can avoid detours in a short period of time, especially in the purification of nuclear materials, and can even give advice to the top nuclear physicists of our time.
