Four hundred and twentieth chapters scolding the street
At this moment, everyone in the conference room looked at the young officer, mixed with curiosity, doubt, and even jealousy, but no one expected that he would dare to stand up and refute Chief Chen first.
Although Liao Mingyu is already thirty years old this year, compared with most officers who have passed their forties or even fifty years old, he is indeed a younger generation.
"Oh? You are Liao Mingyu, right?"
Chen Cheng was not angry because his words were interrupted, but asked curiously.
"Yes, sir!"
"I have always paid attention to the war reports of western Yunnan and Myanmar. Even the heroic performance of you and your subordinates has been praised by the head of state. It is really a blessing for our party and the pride of the nation." Chen Cheng praised.
Liao Mingyu stood straight and said modestly: "Sir Miao Zan, how can he be worthy of such a title? All the victory is the result of the joint efforts of all the seniors here..."
Good boy, you don’t have to be proud of yourself, and you must be proud of others. It’s really rare. It’s not in vain that I’ve spoken so many times for you in front of the Head of State. Chen Cheng’s smile became even stronger, and he had the intention to pull Liao Mingyu into his faction.
"You don't have to be polite. Your credit is obvious to everyone, but what is the current urgent matter you just mentioned?"
Liao Mingyu glanced at Sun Liren, adjusted his thoughts a little, and said calmly: "Myanmar's Lashio area has always been defending. Two days ago, we did find signs of the Japanese army moving toward this place. Coupled with the information obtained by General Sun just now, the Japanese army is likely to launch a counterattack against northern Myanmar."
Chen Cheng touched his chin and fell into deep thought. No one here is mediocre. He can quickly analyze the probability and consequences of this matter. However, most people have never been to northern Myanmar and do not understand the specific situation. It is difficult to believe that the Japanese can react so quickly.
"The Japanese have just lost five divisions in Myitkyina. Are they able to counterattack so quickly? Boy, you are too alarmist." Before Chen Cheng could speak, a questioning voice appeared next to him.
Liao Mingyu looked closely and saw that it was not someone else's speaking, but Huo Kuizhang, commander-in-chief of the 20th Army.
"First of all, northern Myanmar is very important to our China, and the same is true for the Japanese."
Liao Mingyu walked to the front of the map with a blank expression, introducing the situation in northern Myanmar, while explaining the problems to everyone:
"At present, the Yunnan-Burma Highway and the India-Burma branch are being rebuilt, and it is only a matter of time before opening to traffic. The Japanese are very clear that if this life transportation line cannot be restrained, our China military power will only become stronger and stronger over time, which is very unfavorable to the Japanese army on the domestic battlefield."
"Once we withdraw from Myanmar, they are likely to take this opportunity to make a comeback. All this effort will be burned and will even re-threaten in western Yunnan."
In fact, Liao Mingyu did not exaggerate. In history, the expeditionary forces counterattacked Myanmar began half a year later than now, and the final time from the recovery of Myitkyina to the end of Lashio was at the end of 44 years. The current results of the battle were nearly a year earlier than history.
Because at that time, the Japanese army drew too many troops to deal with the US military in the Pacific, resulting in the gradual decrease of military forces in China and Southeast Asia. As the national strength sets and the overall decline in soldiers' quality, their combat effectiveness also began to decline sharply. After the Expeditionary Force captured northern Myanmar, they were unable to launch a counterattack at all.
Now the Japanese military forces in Southeast Asia have not been completely wiped out by the Pacific battlefield. They still have considerable troops deployed in central Myanmar and the Malay Islands. It is not impossible to fight back.
Even the Japanese may increase their military investment in Southeast Asia, which may ease the Pacific battlefield, but it will definitely turn Myanmar into a more chaotic battlefield.
This is also the consequence of the flapping of the wings of Liao Mingyu, which shared the pressure that the Americans in the Pacific should have been borne by.
But it is too late to say anything now. In order not to let the overall situation get out of control, and for the future retreat of my brothers, I can't transfer anything back to China.
Who doesn’t know what Chiang Chiang did? As long as you go back, you must never stay in the original army. Are there few examples of being drained from the underworld? Liao Mingyu would not be such a fool.
"This is all your guess. Maybe the Japanese are just afraid that we will continue to move south and mislead us with bluffs? I don't believe it anymore, and tens of thousands of people were destroyed. Where did those bastards get the ability to launch a counterattack?"
Huo Kuizhang leaned back on the chair casually, his tone full of doubts and disdain, and he did not take the other party's words seriously.
"You just underestimate the determination and perseverance of the Japanese." Liao Mingyu responded indifferently. He felt that saying a word was a waste for such a person who was not very clear-headed.
"So as you say... we not only cannot withdraw our troops, but we will continue to send people to Myanmar? Humph! It's simply alarmist!" Huo Kuizhang continued to confront each other, his sarcastic attitude was full of hostility.
It’s not that he can’t understand the interests, but he just simply doesn’t like it. Who told someone to make him look ugly last time?
"Don't Commander Huo usually pays attention to the enemy's dynamics? The Japanese still retain at least five to seven divisions in Myanmar, and there are several divisions in Siam next to them. I think as long as you are a smart person, you should understand the truth." Liao Mingyu spread his hands and said with a slight sarcasm.
"A bullshit deputy army dares to show off in front of our commander, right?" Before Huo Kuizhang could speak, a major general and commander next to him actually jumped out to cheer for their commanders.
"The face is not given by others, but earned by yourself. I am afraid that only useless waste will need to give face to others." Liao Mingyu sneered and retorted without hesitation.
I didn't want to cause trouble, but if there was a ungrateful guy who asked me to scold me, I couldn't blame him.
"I'm sorry for your mother in the house!"
Huo Kuizhang was so angry that he was full of eyebrows and eyes. He even said the words from his hometown were sarcastic. He was mocked by a junior in public. Where did he put his face?
"Fatty Huo, are you afraid you took the wrong medicine? What's the point of being okay?"
Song Xilian, who was sitting not far away, was not happy. No matter how much Liao Mingyu was nominally his subordinate, so you can scold him casually? Treat me as a decoration?
"Well, this kid scolds me, don't I get angry?! Song Xilian, isn't you the one who protects your baby like this?"
"Haha, it took nearly three months for more than 80,000 troops to fight Tengchong. What is it that it is not a waste?" Song Xilian smiled slightly and said sarcastically.
"You fucking..."
"Enough!"
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder in the conference room was getting heavier, Chen Cheng slapped the table and shouted loudly.
His cold eyes shaved hard on everyone's face like a blade, and the aura of the superior quickly spread throughout the room.
Seeing that his elders were angry, Huo Kuizhang and Song Xilian did not dare to act rashly, so they snorted coldly and turned their heads away.
"Well, Mr. Minister, the crisis we are facing has not been resolved. If you, China, insist on withdrawing troops, then you will have to bear the consequences of this wrong decision next! Is this... what your head of state expects?"
