An hour later, at the Anglo-Burmese Army Headquarters in Ringanqiang, a handover ceremony was held in the presence of General Stilwell, Lieutenant General Slim, Lieutenant General Scott, Brigadier General Lores, commander of the 7th Armoured Brigade of the British Army, Brigadier General Montero, commander of the 63rd Brigade of the British and Australian Forces, and heads of various departments of the headquarters......

Hutton stepped down, Elwin took office, and the Anglo-Burmese army entered a new stage.

As soon as the handover ceremony ended, Stilwell, Hutton, and Slim were invited out of the conference room, citing the need for secrecy to study the next battle plan.

This reason made the three of them angry, what is this, using them as spies? But the situation is stronger than people, and the three of them have no choice. So, the three of them packed their things and rushed directly to the airport with their guards.

After saying goodbye at the airport, Hutton and Slim flew to India on the same plane that Alvin had taken when he arrived; Stilwell flew straight to Tonggu, and he wanted to go to Pan Sen and see what he thought about the matter! ——

On the morning of this day, there was something that made Li Junhao happy, the three division commanders of the Fifth Army of the Expeditionary Force, Dai Anlan, Liao Yaoxiang, and Yu Shao, jointly came to visit him. Seeing these three famous anti-Japanese generals, he was very excited.

In the history of his previous life, Dai Anlan died on the way back to China due to the defeat of the expeditionary force (Savage Mountain), Liao Yaoxiang was captured in the three-year war and entered the war criminal study class, and Yu Shao was basically at home after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War; But these three people have one thing in common, that is, they all performed prominently in the Battle of Kunlun Pass and the First Expeditionary Force's entry into Burma, and made their own contributions to the War of Resistance, which is worthy of respect.

In the command tent, he took out the Anhui flower tea from General Dai Anlan's hometown (Wuwei County, WH City, Anhui Province) (I just found it in the inventory of the magnificent materials in the carry-on space not long ago, and I don't know which British general's private collection) entertained the three generals, and said with a smile that if he had known that General Liao (Shaoyang, Hunan) and General Yu (Pingjiang County, YY City, Hunan) were coming, he would have prepared Kung Fu black tea and Junshan silver needles to entertain guests.

Li Junhao's words moved and surprised the three generals, thinking to themselves, this young American general is so powerful, he actually knows their hometown, it seems that it is not out of nothing that he can be appointed by the US Congress as an observer for the Far East! As a result, the little contempt in my heart that arose because of my age vanished.

While the three of them were talking happily, Dai Anlan's adjutant came to report that he had just received a report from the Yongkegang military airfield that a US plane had arrived, and it was said that General Stilwell, the commander of the Allied Indo-Burma Theater, had arrived, and that he was now arriving by car to see General Pansen.

When the three Chinese generals heard this, they thought that there was some urgent incident in the United States, so General Stilwell wanted to come to see Li Junhao, so they wanted to leave.

Who knows, Li Junhao smiled bitterly, continued to pour tea for the three of them, and said, "Generals, let's wait for General Stilwell to arrive!" I think this matter has something to do with the situation in the Indo-Burma theater. He guessed in his heart that the British army must have made another mess!

Although the three generals did not understand why he said this, they still stayed, and they did not have in their hearts to judge the purpose of the young American general's strategic vision.

——

Twenty minutes later, Stilwell arrived, he jumped out of the jeep quickly, saw the four people coming out of the door, immediately laughed and took two steps forward, hugged Li Junhao, and said happily: "Og, good friend, I finally see you!" ”

Li Junhao smiled and hugged him, and said, "Joseph, how are you doing as a commander?" Is it ever popular with the British? ”

After letting go of his hand, Stilwell patted Li Junhao's shoulder again, and said with emotion: "It's not all your fault, pushing me to this position, I am a leisurely observer, hurry up and take office, I really can't stand it!" ”

"Haha! Well, I'll talk about it later. Kerry patted him on the shoulder and signaled that there were three more Chinese generals waiting!

The three division commanders of the expeditionary force were extremely surprised at this time, they had met Stilwell several times before and after entering Burma, and knew his identity, but they did not expect him to be so familiar with the American observers!

At this time, the Chinese interpreter next to him briefly told them the content of the conversation between the two American generals, and they suddenly realized that the young American general was far more than just an observer.

Stilwell and the three exchanged military salutes, and said in fluent Chinese: "General Dai, General Liao, General Yu, hello! We meet again, how are the troops changing their outfits? ”

The three major generals of the expeditionary force immediately returned the salute and said, "Hello General Stilwell, welcome to Tonggu." The troops have been re-equipped and are getting acquainted with the new equipment...... Thank you to the general for all this for them! ”

Stilwell waved his hand and smiled: "Don't thank me for this, you should thank General Pan Sen, he planned this before and after, I'm just an executor!" ”

Seeing that the three division commanders had to ask again, Li Junhao smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about it when we go in!" Joseph, taste the tea I brought. ”

The five of them entered the command tent and sat down at the table, and Xiaoyu and Shui Jingyun changed new tea for everyone.

Stilwell greeted with a smile: "Xiaoyu, you also came to Myanmar, how is it, are you still used to it?" ”

Xiaoyu smiled: "Hello General Stilwell, of course I have to follow Chief Pan Sen, otherwise he won't be able to take care of himself!" It's rudimentary here in Myanmar, but I can get used to it. ”

"Haha!" Stilwell laughed, from Huhai to Washington, and then to this Burma, he was very happy to see an acquaintance, and turned to say hello to Nick at the door of the tent.

Xiaoyu knew that they were going to talk about things, so they were going to leave with Shui Jingyun, but Li Junhao said, "Xiaoyu, you and Jingyun stay and listen to it too." ”

Xiaoyu agreed, pulled Shui Jingyun to sit down at another marching folding table, took out a notebook and pencil, and prepared to take notes.

After taking a sip of tea, Stilwell put away his smile and said in Chinese: "Og, there is a big problem on the part of the British army!" ”

"I guessed it!" Li Junhao said, "Is it that Commander Hutton is injured again and can no longer command the troops, or is that India's 'Emperor' Sir Wavell out of a demon again?" ”

Hearing this, Stilwell was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have to say, Auger, it's not wrong that you are called a 'military prophet'!" That's right, it's Sir Wavell...... Oh, out of the witch! ”

The three generals of the Chinese Expeditionary Force were a little confused, but they could hear that Li Junhao's judgment was correct again!
