Three hundred and sixtieth eight chapters incompetent roar
"goddannit! Liao, do you know what you are doing? You are instigating our pilots to treason!"
In the Nankan headquarters... Liao Mingyu tilted his head to the side helplessly, and the angry roar coming from the microphone made his eardrums almost explode.
"Haha, how can it be so serious? This is just a normal support operation. Doesn't Colonel Hertelling think that we are not allies? Or does it mean that my third division is not worthy?" Liao Mingyu changed the topic and asked wittily.
"No shit, I'm referring to the actual situation. Please don't confuse the situation. Even Chennault is furious now. I will report it to the top of your headquarters. Just wait and see. We must definitely deal with this kind of behavior that does not follow orders and acts without permission."
Severe punishment!"
"Oh... That's up to you, but I will borrow your pilots and fighter planes for a few more days. Jamie and the others have approved of this. Don't worry, those fighter planes will be returned to you when everything is over."
"oh...fuck!are you..."
Toot toot toot…
Liao Mingyu chuckled and hung up the phone without hesitation. Hertelin's threats obviously had no effect on him.
Don't ask him, when did Mr. Liao give in? How many times did he disobey orders? Not to mention reporting this trivial matter to Wei Lihuang, even if it was reported to the bald head of state, nothing would happen.
"Um... Jamie, is this really okay? Will there be trouble if you don't go back?" Liao Mingyu raised his head and asked. Although it doesn't matter if he is not afraid, he still needs to seek the opinions of the person involved.
It turned out that Jamie was sitting across from the desk, and he basically listened to what Heltling said on the phone just now, word for word.
"Don't worry, my friend, I am a free man, including Wesker and the others. If I really want to leave, no one can stop me."
Jamie looked calm and not anxious at all. Instead, he crossed his legs and continued nonchalantly:
"Although we received training from General Chennault in Kunming when we came to China, we basically signed an employment contract with your country. Now that the Flying Tigers have been disbanded, our country has sent a large number of professional air forces to fight in China, and the original team members
A large number of them chose to return home and quit the fighting order."
"It's just that the few assassins like us who didn't leave were also incorporated into the air force and continued to receive wages as mercenaries. So strictly speaking, our boss is your Chongqing government, not Chennault."
"If I insist on leaving... at most it will be treated as a breach of contract. Going to a military court is of no use to me. Besides, if there is really trouble, won't I have a big tree like you to look after me? Haha..."
Liao Mingyu was relieved. No wonder Helterin kept getting angry at him, but he didn't mention Jamie and the others at all. He was basically a worker if he was unhappy. If he was unhappy, he could just resign.
Although Jamie said it lightly, Liao Mingyu also knew how difficult it was. In addition, they also brought six fighter planes and five pilots over. It is really difficult to describe this feeling in words.
"But... I have to say... Although there is an airport and airplanes in Nankan now, you don't have any logistics at all. We can temporarily provide ground maintenance, but there is no way to solve the ammunition problem."
Jamie also showed a worried look as he spoke. Although they have been flying in combat in the past few days, the ground attack weapons of each fighter plane are only four M2 heavy machine guns. If there were not many troops with 12.7 caliber bullets, these six P40Cs would probably
It's really going to be "bare metal".
But there are no more aerial bombs and maintenance equipment. You must know that the daily maintenance of a fighter plane is not simple, and they cannot return to Baoshan to replenish ammunition, otherwise they will definitely never return.
These problems may not be a big deal in the short term, but they will definitely become apparent over time.
Ring ring ring ring…
Just as Liao Mingyu was deep in thought, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
"Hello?"
"Oh my god...my dear Commander, I really admire your courage." The voice of that old fox Smith came from the other end of the phone.
"Haha, Colonel Smith, I don't know what you want from me?"
"Stop pretending. Now you are considered a popular figure on the Allied side. According to you Chinese people, you are poaching General Chennault."
Liao Mingyu's expression changed slightly. It seemed that this matter had spread a lot. Within a short time, two high-ranking allied forces called him one after another.
"There is no such thing as poaching or not. This is just normal military assistance. If someone insists on saying this, then wouldn't the materials you strongly support me be criticized as a secret operation?"
He is such a sharp-tongued boy. He has already experienced Liao Mingyu's sharp tongue. Smith smiled without taking it seriously, and then said seriously: "Well, well... I won't talk nonsense. I didn't call because of that.
I just want to ask you Chinese people about keeping your promises, aren't you? Then why do you keep putting off what you promised me?"
"Oh? What do you mean?" Liao Mingyu asked knowingly.
"Shit...it's so hard to talk to you Chinese people." Smith couldn't help complaining, and then asked: "You clearly promised me that you would send all your troops to attack Myitkyina after receiving the supplies, but why are you focusing all your attention now?
Put it in the south?”
Liao Mingyu chuckled and spoke slowly: "I think you have misunderstood. I did send troops to attack Myitkyina, but the Japanese defense was too tight, so there has been no progress."
How could Smith agree to such excuses? He immediately retorted: "orge on! I didn't see your troops fighting with the Japanese troops in the north at all. They just ran to glare at others. Could it be that this
Is this your sincerity?”
I didn't expect this old guy to be so concerned about the war situation in northern Myanmar. Liao Mingyu was a little embarrassed after being exposed.
Indeed... due to the urgent situation in Lashio two days ago, his thoughts were entirely focused on Long Wenwen. If Wei Lihuang hadn't sent a telegram, he wouldn't have bothered with the trivial matters in the north.
Under Liao Mingyu's instructions, the second main force sent out did not fight the Japanese army in Myitkyina. They did not even attack the town of Bhamo, the gateway to the south of Myitkyina. The reason was that Xing Fuquan did not use all his strength.
It was originally planned to wait until the Lashio problem was solved before seriously facing the northern war situation, but now that the southern battle had just ended and there was no time to spare, Smith decided to launch an attack at this time, and Liao Mingyu couldn't find a good explanation for a while.
.
"This... you have to listen to my explanation. In the entire battle situation, my third division is in the middle, and the Wa State area in the south is like our back yard. What will happen if I don't care about the end?"
Seeing that the bullshit was not going to work, Liao Mingyu turned to the practical truth with metaphors:
"The Japanese will be like an unreasonable cucumber stuck in your ass hole. Even if I achieve great results in Myitkyina, they will be gone in an instant. By then, won't all your investments be gone?"
Is it all in vain? I am doing this to live up to your hard work, do you understand?"
"This...well, I have reservations about the comparison with you, but the situation seems to be exactly what you said, but can we just drag on in northern Myanmar? The troops stationed in India are fighting with Japan in the Hukang Valley.
The people are so indistinguishable from each other."
How could Smith, who is always paying attention to the war situation in northern Myanmar, fail to understand the truth, but he understands that he also wants his investment to be fruitful.
Despite the stalemate in the Hukang River Valley, where a full regiment was in danger of being besieged by the Japanese, Liao Mingyu was familiar with history. Although this battle lasted more than a month, the final result would still end with the victory of the New Army.
The Japanese army would suffer heavy losses in this battle, and would be chased away by Sun Liren in the subsequent major counterattack, and then lose the entire northern Burma.
Although the Japanese army in northern Myanmar is now stronger, they probably cannot stop the troops stationed in India who have been trained and armed by the Americans. It may only be a matter of time before they retreat.
"Don't worry, Smith. The problem on the Lashio side has been solved. Now I will definitely focus on the situation in the north, but... you also know that my regiment has been almost wiped out..."
"No way! No more! I gave you so much supplies and now you want to ask me for them. Do you think I am a bank? To tell you the truth, because of the intense war, it is impossible for supplies to be sent to China in the short term. You have to understand
I have already given you the supplies that were originally meant for an army. Is it easy to save such a small amount of stuff? It’s not like you don’t know how much cargo the Hump Line can transport at one time. Unless you can connect the entire Yunnan and Burma to India, you won’t even need a bullet.
You want to take it from me again!!”
Before Liao Mingyu finished speaking, Smith, who thought he was about to "reach out for food" again, went into a rage on the spot, roaring and complaining about everything at a very fast speed, which made the former's head grow bigger.
"Ok, ok, calm down! Calm down, okay?" Liao Mingyu held his forehead and had a headache. He didn't realize that this old boy's lung capacity was very good. He could shout a lot of words without gasping for breath.
"I'm not short of supplies right now, I just want to ask you for a small favor."
"What's the rush?"
"I need a group of ground staff and aircraft technicians. There is already an airport in Nankan, and six P40s are parked here. If the airport facilities can be improved, I will be sure to capture Bhamo in a short time and go straight to Myitkyina."
"Haha... Why don't I let Chennault serve under you?" Smith's sneer came from the other end of the phone: "You think too highly of me, how about I give you a few more fighter jets?"
Faced with the other party's sarcasm, Liao Mingyu not only did not get angry but explained more patiently:
"I only need a few technicians who can repair fighter jets. I will figure out whether the equipment is there or not. As for ground staff, it is easier to find them. It is not your job to transfer a group from the hundreds of ground staff at Baoshan Airport."
Just one sentence?"
In fact, Liao Mingyu had entrusted Yu Sifan to investigate Smith's background a few days ago. Logically speaking, it is impossible for such a wealthy US military logistics officer to have no one to support him.
