Chapter 402: It's Time for a Change

"Alright, let's eat first! Let's try the daily meals of our observer group. Li Junhao said, "There is no need to refuse, we are waiting for the news from the front line while eating, if it is really as we expected, then several generals will be busy after that!" ”

Hearing his words, several people thought about it for a while, and then they understood what it meantβ€”yes! No matter how bastard the British army was, even if the Chinese Expeditionary Force was for the sake of China and the overall interests of the Allies, it could not ignore the next actions of the Japanese army, and could not even retreat.

Come to think of it, this is one of the reasons why the British government has no fear!

Xiaoyu recorded all of Li Junhao's words, and sighed in his heart at the same time, it turned out that Brother Jun was thinking about the major events of these countries every day, and it was so complicated......

Shui Jingyun, another recorder next to her, immediately got up and ran out after writing the last stroke in the shorthand book, preparing lunch for the captain and several generals, but the captain's words were still echoing in her mind - is this the true face of international politics?

As early as when she was studying international politics at the University of Singapore, Shui Jingyun heard a sentence, "There are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests", which is the famous saying of former British Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader Benjamin Disraeli (Earl of Beaconsfield, term: 1868.2-1868.12, 1874.2-1880.4), which was later quoted by many politicians and regarded as the true foundation of politics.

At this time, Li Junhao was thanking the system - after the victory of Dragone, he was rewarded with "mastery of international politics", and looking at the actions of the British army in Burma from a new perspective, it was like watching the fire!

β€”β€”

Because there was something in mind, everyone ate lunch quickly, and the meal was completed in less than 20 minutes, and after eating, everyone only felt that the meal was very good, but as for what they ate, they didn't even remember.

Just after lunch, Dai Anlan's adjutant rushed over and reported that the two armored reconnaissance teams had sent back reports that the 17th Division of the British and Indian Army, which was originally stationed in Degon, and the 36th Indian Infantry Division stationed in Mengzhen were being evacuated on a large scale!

Several people glanced at each other, and they all saw the anger in each other's eyes.

Liao Yaoxiang immediately got up and said, "I'll go and report to the military department!" ”

"It's useless, neither Chief Luo (Luo Zhuoying) nor Chief Du (Du Yuming) has the right to give orders to the Anglo-Burmese army." Dai Anlan shook his head. Yu Shao and Stilwell nodded in agreement.

"What then? Are we just waiting here? Or do we retreat too? Liao Yaoxiang stomped his feet impatiently.

"No, you can't withdraw!" Hearing this, Stilwell immediately couldn't sit still.

Yu Shao said at this time: "General Stilwell, you are the commander of the Allied Indo-Burma Theater, you should have the right to give orders, right?" ”

"It's useless, the British won't listen." Stilwell shook his head.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Li Junhao was starting to contradict again at this time.

"Og, what can you do? Say it! Stilwell stared at Li Junhao's eyes and said.

The same goes for the three Chinese generals.

"If I were in the position of a general, I would immediately give an order to the Chinese Expeditionary Force to send strong troops to occupy the key points of the Japanese army's attack on northern Burma in advance, such as the important town of Bei Mu in central and western Myanmar, and the Tonggu station of the Burma-central node of the Yangman Railway." Li Junhao said.

The four generals immediately walked to the map of Burma hanging next to them, looked at the terrain and traffic signs on it, and immediately determined that as long as these two nodes were blocked, not to mention the Japanese army, even the British and Indian troops of these two divisions would not be able to pass, but ......

"Mr. Observer, are you saying that we are going to use force against the Anglo-Indian army?" Yu Shao couldn't help but use honorifics to Li Junhao, who was only half his age, at this time.

"Then it depends on the courage of General Stilwell, the courage of General Luo Zhuoying and General Du Yuming, and the execution of you division commanders! I can't help with that. Li Junhao spread his hands and said.

At this moment, all four of them were dumbfounded! Yes, this kind of thing, General Pansen, as an observer of the United States, can completely stay out of it, and there is no need to wade into this troubled water.

Yu Shao said a little frustratedly: "Let's report to the military department!" It's not something we can decide. In this regard, Dai Anlan and Liao Yaoxiang were also helpless, so they could only nod in agreement.

At this time, Stilwell suddenly said in English: "Ogy, I think it's time to announce your official position, and you should assume the responsibility of commanding!" With that, he stood up, his expression serious.

"Joseph, are you sure?" Li Junhao also looked stunned and stood up and said.

"Yes, I'm sure that only you have the ability to change the current predicament." Stilwell straightened up and said, "I will immediately inform General Alwin, the commander of the Anglo-Burmese Army, General Luo Zhuoying, the commander of the First Route Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and General Du Yuming, the deputy commander and commander of the Fifth Army, and ask them to fly to Tonggu immediately to convene the highest meeting of the Allied Indo-Burma Theater and announce your official duties!" ”

Li Junhao looked at his serious expression and couldn't help but smile and said, "Joseph, you have to think about it, once I take office, what will it mean to you, don't regret it in the future!" ”

"No, it won't." Stilwell said firmly, "I am very sure that everything you will do and will do in the Indo-Burma theater will lay the foundation for me as a commander, and I am very happy to sit back and enjoy it!" Speaking of the back, he laughed to himself.

"Yes, Joseph, that's what you think!" Li Junhao smiled even more happily, he admitted that the other party saw it very accurately, and he was afraid that he would not stay here for long; But this is also good, the other side understands and knows that the two sides will not have conflicts because of the issue of command.

The three Chinese division commanders heard that the two American generals were racing English again, and that they had already driven out the interpreters because they were discussing the British army, and they had no idea what the two were talking about, and then they saw them laughing heartily, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

β€”β€”

Subsequently, Li Junhao personally took Stilwell to the communication tent and asked the telegraph operator to send him a telegram.

After the two left the command tent, the three Chinese generals began to talk.

Liao Yaoxiang said: "Brother Shuyu, Brother Yangong, this American observer is so powerful!" What do you think he and General Stilwell are going to do? ”

Dai Anlan said: "I think I should have sent a telegram, maybe I want to ask them for something in China!" ”

Yu Shao said: "This observer is really powerful, he has long seen through the conspiracy of the British, if he hadn't made it clear, I still don't know that the British mentality is like this!" If you're not careful, you'll be killed by them! ”
