As Churchill said, "There is no eternal enemy, no eternal friend, only eternal benefit", that is, having milk is the mother.

On the battlefield in Myanmar, as Churchill said, the British also formulated a strategy of "abandoning Myanmar and protecting India" from the beginning. The so-called "China-British Joint Defense of the Yunnan-British Road" was just an excuse for the British to drag Chinese troops into Myanmar to delay the attacks of the Japanese to cover up their retreat.

The final result of the first expeditionary force going abroad was the same. The British army was focused on quickly withdrawing from India, without any intention of cooperating with each other, and completely ignored the lives and death of allies, resulting in the 100,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force who were unknown to the Japanese siege and intercepting them.

Although the failure of the Expeditionary Force was not only caused by the British, but also mixed with many factors in intelligence, routes, environment and command, in the final analysis, more than 70,000 Chinese soldiers were buried in that primitive jungle, which is a fact that can never be changed.

With this lesson, Chiang Kai-shek also learned to be smart. While eating "international relief food", he was as stable as an old dog. How could he listen to your white-skinned ghost guy's deception. He could protect himself and never do anything reckless again.

The reason why I agreed to a full-scale counterattack some time ago was that on the one hand, the pressure exerted by the international alliance and the United States was entirely due to the fact that Liao Mingyu and his friends were advancing all the way and drove the Japanese out of the border, there was only one enemy in Tengchong in western Yunnan, and they would definitely beat the dogs in the water.

Otherwise, he would not have promised to sound the counterattack horn so quickly, but this was the victory that was earned at an extremely painful price.

Now that the country has been liberated, the Japanese have also withdrew. In Myitkyina, five Japanese divisions have been severely damaged, almost annihilated more than 60,000 people. China has done what it should not do, and it is almost time to take care of its own affairs.

Stilwell's face became extremely ugly. He knew very well that if the Chinese did not send troops to Southeast Asia, there would be no way to compete with the Japanese. No matter how advanced the equipment was, it would have to be used to become a weapon of killing. Otherwise, it would be a pile of scrap iron, and the air force alone would not be able to regain the lost land.

Liao Mingyu also looked ugly. After finally reaching Myanmar, the last thing he wanted to see was to be transferred back to China, so that all the previous efforts would be vain.

What can I do if I return to China? I followed the large army until the end of the 45th year of the War of Resistance, and was then transferred to the north by Chiang Kai-shek to "defeat the bandits"?

Then there are only two ways, either you will continue to work but not work hard, and finally follow Lao Jiang to Baodao with regrets and never think about returning to China for the rest of your life, or you will wait for a chance to revolt like Meng Fan, and you will basically see through the two endings.

The first one is definitely negative. No matter how, Liao Mingyu cannot fight against his compatriots, and it is even more impossible to use the system-produced weapons on his compatriots, so that he will be uneasy in his life. As for the second one... there is some gambling element in it.

My identity has been portrayed very much by the system. Can I get any good results after the uprising? I am afraid that if I don’t get the Gongde Forest, I will be afraid that I will be able to get the Gongde Forest by then.

Even if you don’t want to be alone in your heart and only for national reunification, you will probably die miserably after the chaotic ten years. Liao Mingyu doesn’t have the confidence to compete with the great times by his own strength.

In those unreasonable years, nothing was useful. The best result was to escape overseas early, but what should I do with my own brothers? I may not be able to live out a few of them.

Therefore, the only way is to stay in Southeast Asia to seek survival. Only by relying on the advantages of the system can we become bigger and stronger, and we will not be afraid of any external influence. Perhaps we can also complement the New China and resist foreign enemies.

The picture changed, and the thrilling meeting continued. What Chen Cheng said basically determined the direction of all the troops present. Everyone knew the temper of the slim head of state. At that time, there would definitely be another large wave of personnel transfers, and it would be almost impossible to survive alone.

"Mr. Minister, can I understand this way that your heads of state are preparing to give up Southeast Asia, regardless of the position of allies, and at the same time give up all military aid from the United States?" Stilwell asked with a cold look in his eyes.

As the first person in charge of military aid in Southeast Asia, Stilwell's biggest reliance is the right to distribute materials in his hands, which is also one of the reasons why the bald man hated him so much that he might have some rights. Perhaps Smith is now distributing some rights, but it still does not affect his confidence in saying this.

"No, I think you've misunderstood. The head of state never said that he would abandon his allies and ignore them. It's just that the situation in China is getting worse and worse. You should know that the Japanese attacked heavily in Hunan and Guangxi. One-third of China's land has fallen into the hands of the invaders. If you can think from our perspective, you might understand."

"And we Chinese have sacrificed enough in Myanmar. We have done everything we shouldn't do. Most of the 100,000 dead souls are still cold! They will never be able to go home in their lives. And the survivors are feeling war-weary. You ask everyone here, who does not want to go home, and even if they die, they have to die on their own land?"

Chen Cheng is worthy of being an old politician, with rich expressions and tears in his eyes. He first explained the reason and then moved the emotions. He could not see any falsehood or artificiality. Even the officers began to agree with what he said.

“but…”

Stilwell was about to speak, but Chen Cheng stopped talking:

"But then again, regarding international aid... Our head of state and your president have reached a consensus long ago, and it cannot be lifted by others in just a few words. There is another point..."

Chen Cheng suddenly put away his smile, and his expression gradually became decisive and tough:

"This is China, and the soldiers of China are fighting for you. They have paid enough. They have the right and freedom to return to their own country to defend their land. This is also the political idea that you Americans have always advocated, right?"

"Yes, it's almost OK. Do you know how many people we died in Myanmar!?"

"I want the Chinese to keep playing cattle and horses for you and regain your lost land? What about us?"

For a moment, the crowd was infuriated, and Chen Cheng's words resonated with many Chinese officers, and they began to question and indignate.

Stilwell was speechless and racked his brains to find any words to refute this eloquent Chinese senior official.

Yes, what they are saying is the truth. China has lost more than 100,000 yuan in two consecutive battles in Myanmar, and the war has been won. Strictly speaking, the primary goal of opening up the Yunnan-Burma Highway has been completed, and there is no reason to ask them to do more.

Alas... Even Liao Mingyu has to admit that from the perspective of the nation, what Chen Cheng said is nothing wrong. The only problem is this country and the party...
