"So... Next, I have to rely on you to continue the counterattack in southern Burma, and it is best to enter Malaysia before the end of the year, but if there are any requirements, I can meet your team and try to meet them. ”

Hearing this, Liao Mingyu's eyes immediately lit up, hehe... Waiting is your words.

"General, you know, the amount of weapons and equipment needed by my troops is not small, and the logistics and ammunition alone are astronomical."

"Don't worry, I will be responsible for all the military expenses of your department, including the expenses of the armored forces and the air force, and the Indian Twentieth Air Force will also become your strong backing."

As expected, Stilwell generously gave a promise, although the overall equipment strength of the 88th Army has far surpassed that of other units, and even much stronger than some division-level units of their Marine Corps, but fortunately, the number is not too much.

After all, Mr. President has decided to focus on supporting, and the future transportation of materials will vigorously flow to this side, and it is not difficult to focus on arming an elite army compared to the entire Southeast Asian theater, you must know that there are not many Allied troops that Stilwell can take out by himself, except for the Air Force, there are only more than 50,000 Chinese Expeditionary Force New 88th Army, and the combat effectiveness of the British is almost negligible.

The other party's generosity caught Liao Mingyu unexpectedly, and he suddenly didn't know how to speak, thinking that it was another bargain.

"Of course, the investment I have made needs to see a return, and your troops must also be responsible for me, and you must always obey the command and arrangement of the theater command, otherwise..."

"General rest assured, our department will obey the arrangement, but in terms of logistical details... Do we have to add it up again? It's not that I don't believe you, but there are mainly situations that you may not know much about... Here's the schedule I just made two days ago, you see..."

Liao Mingyu hurriedly made a guarantee with a smile on his face, no matter what he said, he would agree to come down and then talk about it, the big deal was that he would listen to the tune or not listen to the announcement, as long as the military power of the army was in hand, it would not be easy for anyone to come.

However, in this regard, the Yankees are much more real than Lao Jiang, and they say that good things will at least be fulfilled, although they are all purposeful, but it is also better than Principal Jiang, who can only pay lip service.

Stilwell took the plan and glanced at it suspiciously, he didn't know if he didn't know it, he was startled when he saw it, just what was written in front of him instantly made him feel the urge to hit someone:

“what the hell ！？ You need 200 guns of all kinds in a company, fuck! Is this still an infantry company? And the number of rifles, are you going to arm an army group!? ”

"Eh, General, don't you know, the losses of our army in Mandalay are quite large, more than half of the casualties of each unit, and the lost and damaged weapons and equipment are countless, I don't believe you go to my field hospital to see, there are wounded everywhere and can't be crowded, alas..."

On the kung fu of pulling calves, Liao Mingyu can also do it without blushing and heartbeat, anyway, the troops have the final say, and these things can't be verified, take a step back and say that the other party really goes to investigate, then he also has a way to hide it.

Although there is an arsenal now that can achieve self-sufficiency, it also requires resources, so why not more than this kind of Yankee can give for nothing?

Besides, now that the Yunnan-Burma Highway has been opened early, international aid will only continue to be sent to Myanmar, and now with the full support of the president, Stilwell has absolute control over these materials, even if the part sent to China is deducted, there will be a lot of materials left in Southeast Asia, who doesn't know the logistics of the Americans, that is the existence of front-line soldiers who can drink Coke and eat ice cream.

So the two made an in-depth exchange on the next policy of supply of military supplies, and the two sides did not give in to each other, just like the gangsters in the market, just for the number of more zeros or less single digits.

Everything is a trivial matter, and the reason why Stilwell suddenly became a deduction and search is that he knows that he can't give too much food at once, and if he feeds the other party too much, he will lose his authority, and it will be even more difficult to speak in the future.

Liao Mingyu also knew that this old guy was thoughtful, so he asked for as much as he could in terms of materials, showing a greedy look, making the other party think that he was the kind of person who was insatiable, so as to paralyze the other party's sense of vigilance.

It wasn't until late in the evening that the two ended their meeting and walked out of the office after Liao Mingyu had drained a pack of cigarettes and Stilwell had almost burned his pipe.

However, both sides of this conversation were still quite satisfied, the Yankees deserved to be wealthy, and in terms of light weapons, they agreed to provide 50,000 Garand rifles, 15,000 .45 caliber submachine guns, M1919 heavy machine guns and M2 old godmothers, a total of 2,000 units, a number of 60-80mm mortars, and a large number of rocket launchers, grenades, mines, explosives, etc. Ammunition is measured in 10,000 tons.

In addition, hundreds of wheeled trucks of various tonnages were provided as means of transport for the front-line troops, which also made road construction an even more important issue.

However, in terms of heavy weapons, Stilwell was reluctant to let go, and a large number of shells were replenished, but only 8 105mm howitzers were given, none 155mm howitzers were given, and tanks and armored vehicles were not mentioned.

In the end, under Liao Mingyu's strong request, he reluctantly agreed to give five short-barreled 75-gun Sherman and ten Greyhound armored vehicles, but he also gave more than 200 US military advisers, requiring them to serve as deputy or sergeant in the grassroots level of the 88th Army, preferably with a sergeant major in each company, which is called to train and guide soldiers in combat, but its real purpose is self-evident.

Although Liao Mingyu agreed on the surface, he didn't care in his heart, the big deal was that the people came and slowly asked the boys under his command to find a way to get rid of them, and if they couldn't leave, they were transferred to the maintenance department where Master Mai and the whole people were in charge of helping, and honestly became a gunsmith or military consultant, and wanted to install a prison guard in my grassroots troops? Dream about it.

In addition to the military supplies in the early stage, the Allied side also promised to bear a certain amount of food and medical supplies, and the Merrill commando team will be temporarily merged into the 88th Army, under the direct command of Liao Mingyu.

The follow-up supplies will also be continuously supplied, anyway, it basically means that the United States will pay for the goods, and the 88th Army will work hard to attack Japan and enter Malaysia together.

To say that Stilwell's position in the US military is already very embarrassing, the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Theater and the general staff of the Huaxia Theater, at first glance, they heard that they were, but in fact, everyone knew that it was just a resounding name, in fact, it was wearing silk and eating coarse chaff... Surface light.

Since the Indian troops were transferred back to China, there were not many troops in the entire Southeast Asian theater that could really be commanded by Stilwell, except for the few logistics battalions in India, there were less than 3,000 wheat detachments left, and the new 88th Army of the expeditionary force was barely one.

In addition, the 2nd Army and the 72nd Army of the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force stationed on the Sino-Burmese border are not able to shake the thunder, and they don't dare to dick him at all, and the British only listen to their orders from General Mountbatten.

In this situation... Liao Mingyu is the only one who hopes to be able to fight and win the war, and the young man and his troops in front of him are just like Sun Liren and the army stationed in India at the beginning.

Although Liao Mingyu is more shrewd and difficult, judging from the record... His personal ability and military strength of the army are also superior, and the most important point is that this guy is completely out of the orders of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, and the "peanut" in Chongqing can't reach out his hand, which is the most important place.

So Stilwell slowly began to see them as his own, and tried to build them into an unstoppable army. In this way, his subordinates can have such a capable army and realize their lofty ambitions, so why not?

Stilwell couldn't help but think... If he can really recapture Malaysia and the Philippine Islands, he will have a place among the domestic five-star generals!
