At this moment, everyone's eyes in the conference room were on this young officer, mixed with curiosity, doubt, and even jealousy, but no one expected that he would be the first to stand up and refute Chief Chen.

Although Liao Mingyu is in his thirties this year, compared with most officers who have passed the age of no confusion or even half a hundred, he is indeed a younger generation.

"Oh? You're Liao Mingyu, right? ”

Chen Cheng didn't get angry because his words were interrupted, but asked with some curiosity.

"Yes, sir!"

"I have always paid attention to the war reports in western Yunnan and Burma, and the heroic performance of you and your subordinates is even full of praise from the head of state, which is really the luck of our party and the pride of the nation." Chen Cheng praised.

Liao Mingyu stood with a straight face and said modestly: "Commander Miao, how can he be worthy of such a title, all victories are the result of the joint efforts of all the seniors here..."

Good boy, you are not proud of your achievements, you must be proud, it is really commendable, and it is not in vain that I have spoken so many good words for you in front of the head of state, Chen Cheng smiled even more, and he had the intention of pulling Liao Mingyu into his faction.

"You're welcome, your credit is obvious to all, but what is the urgency of the moment you just said?"

Liao Mingyu glanced at Sun Liren, straightened out his thoughts a little, and said calmly: "The Lashio area of Burma has always been on the defense of our department, and two days ago, we did detect signs of the movement of the Japanese army to this place, coupled with the information that General Sun got just now, the Japanese army is very likely to launch a counteroffensive in northern Burma. ”

Chen Cheng touched his chin and fell into deep thought, everyone here is not a mediocre person, and he will soon be able to analyze the probability and consequences of this matter, but most of them have never been to northern Myanmar and do not know the specific situation, it is hard to believe that the Japanese can react so quickly.

"The little devils have only lost five divisions in Myitkyina, are they capable of counterattacking so quickly? Boy, you're too alarmist. Before Chen Cheng could speak, a questioning voice came from next to him.

Liao Mingyu looked at it fixedly, and it was none other than Huo Yuzhang, commander-in-chief of the 20th Group Army, who spoke.

"First of all, northern Myanmar is very important to us in China, and the same is true for the Japanese."

Liao Mingyu walked to the front of the map with a blank face, and while introducing the situation in northern Myanmar, he explained the problem to everyone:

"At present, the Yunnan-Burma Highway and the India-Burma branch line are being rebuilt, and it is only a matter of time before they are opened to traffic, and the Japanese know very well that if this life transportation line cannot be choked, our military strength in China will only become stronger and stronger over time, which is very unfavorable to the Japanese army on the domestic battlefield."

"Once we withdraw from Burma, there is a good chance that they will take advantage of this opportunity to make a comeback, and all these efforts will be burned to the ground, and they will even re-threaten the western Yunnan region."

In fact, Liao Mingyu was not alarmist, in history, the expeditionary force's counterattack on Burma began more than half a year later than now, and the final time from the recovery of Myitkyina to the arrival of the troops in Lashio was the end of 44 years, and the current results are nearly a year ahead of history.

Because at that time, the Japanese army deployed too many troops to deal with the American forces in the Pacific, which led to the gradual reduction of military strength in China and Southeast Asia, and due to the sunset of national strength and the overall decline in the quality of soldiers, its combat effectiveness also began to decrease sharply, and when the expeditionary force took northern Burma, they had no ability to launch a counteroffensive at all.

And now the Japanese military power in Southeast Asia has not been completely exhausted by the Pacific theater, and they still have a considerable number of troops deployed in central Burma and the Malay Archipelago, and it is not impossible to counterattack if they really do.

Even the Japanese might increase their military investment in Southeast Asia, which might ease the Pacific theater, but it would definitely turn Burma into a more chaotic theater.

This is also the consequence of Liao Mingyu's butterfly flapping its wings, sharing the pressure that should belong to the Yankees in the Pacific.

But it's too late to say anything now, in order not to let the overall situation get out of control, and for the sake of the future retreat of himself and his brothers, he can't say anything and can't be transferred back to China.

Who doesn't know Lao Jiang's means? As long as you go back, don't want to stay in the original army, are there fewer examples of being paid by him? Liao Mingyu would not be so stupid. Gu Xuan

"This is all your speculation, maybe the Japanese are just afraid that we will continue to go south and bluff to mislead us? I still don't believe it, but tens of thousands of people have been wiped out, where did those bastards have the ability to launch a counterattack? ”

Huo Yuzhang leaned back in his chair with a grin, his tone was full of doubt and disdain, and he didn't take the other party's words seriously at all.

"You're just underestimating the determination and perseverance of the Japanese." Liao Mingyu replied lightly with an expressionless face, he felt that it was a waste to say half a word more for this kind of person who was not very clear-headed.

"So what you say... Instead of withdrawing our troops, we will continue to send people to Burma. Hum! It's just alarmist! Huo Yuzhang continued to fight-for-tat, and his cynical attitude was full of hostility.

It's not that he can't understand what's at stake, it's just that he's just a little unaccustomed to it, who told someone to make him look ugly last time.

"Isn't Commander Huo usually paying attention to the enemy's movements? The Japanese still had at least five or seven divisions in Burma, and there were a few divisions in Siam next to it, and I think anyone who was smart would have understood that. Liao Mingyu spread his hands and stabbed back with words.

"A bullshit deputy dares to pose in front of our commander, giving you face, right!?" Without waiting for Huo Yuzhang to speak, a major general and division commander next to him actually jumped out to cheer for their commander.

"Face is not given by others, it is earned by yourself, I am afraid that only useless waste needs to be given face by others." Liao Mingyu sneered and unceremoniously slammed back.

I didn't want to cause trouble, but I can't blame him unless there is a guy who doesn't know what to do.

"You are the mother in the house!"

Huo Yuzhang was so angry that he raised his eyebrows, and even his hometown words soared out, and he was ridiculed by a junior in public, where did he put his face?

"Huo Fatty, I'm afraid you're taking the wrong medicine, right? What is it called? ”

Song Xilian, who was sitting not far away, was not happy, no matter how Liao Mingyu was nominally his subordinate, he was scolded by you casually? Treat Lao Tzu as an ornament?

"Allow this kid to scold me, don't let Lao Tzu get angry?! Song Xilian, you didn't protect the calf like this, right? ”

"Hehe, a group army, a full 80,000 people fought a Tengchong for nearly three months, isn't it waste?" Song Xilian smiled slightly and sneered casually.

"What the..."

"Enough!"

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder in the conference room was getting heavier and heavier, Chen Cheng took the case and shouted loudly.

His cold eyes slammed into everyone's face like a blade, and the aura of the superior soon spread throughout the room.

Seeing that their old chiefs were angry, Huo Yuzhang and Song Xilian didn't dare to make a mistake, and snorted coldly.

"Well, Mr. Minister, the crisis we are facing has not been resolved, if you Huaxia insist on withdrawing your troops, then you will have to bear the consequences of this wrong decision! Don't... This is what your Führer expects? ”

Stilwell suddenly interjected at this time, like a hammer exploding in Chen Cheng's heart.
