Wang Xuexin said "Oh" and asked, "Did Stilwell see it?"

Sun Erwei nodded and handed the telegram to Wang Xuexin, but took it back halfway.

"Sorry!" Sun Erwei said: "I haven't translated it yet."

Wang Xuexin smiled and expressed his understanding.

In fact, Wang Xuexin doesn’t have to read the telegram and knows what’s going on.

The reason why Stilwell in history failed to discover the sinister intention of the sun never set is because they placed all their hopes on the sun never set, so they had an obsession: "We can only choose to believe that the sun never set, otherwise everything will be over!"

Under this obsession, Stilwell and even the entire Hawkshop government believed without reservation that the sun would not set the army, just like falling into the trap of pyramid schemes, almost all they believed in whatever Alexander said.

But with Wang Xuexin's reminder, Stilwell went to see the army with suspicion.

It's easy to see the problem:

Why did the army withdrew its mobile troops to the second line before the war?

Shouldn’t these troops be laid on the front line and ready for counterattack at any time?

Unless you plan to retreat from the beginning, worrying that these mobile troops will be dragged or surrounded by the enemy!

Why did the officer who kept setting the sun secretly move the command backward?

Aren't they very confident that they can block the enemy's attack?

Unless they lie, they don’t think they can hold on or even want to hold on!

Why didn't the artillery be transferred to the front line when the sun was not set?

The further the artillery attacks, isn’t it more beneficial to the army that does not set?

Unless Alexander knew early on that it was a meaningless battle!

Stilwell scolded "Fuck it," and immediately contacted the Chinese Expeditionary Force, reminding them to be careful of their flanks. The army will likely retreat early if the sun does not set.

Then he sent a telegram to Sun Erwei, saying: "His judgment is correct, but we can't seem to change anything!"

Things are indeed as Stilwell said, and this battle does not change anything.

Even if Stilwell had prepared before, it was no exception.

The reason is very simple. The entire west is a station where the sun never sets. The army will retreat all the way and give the position to the enemy. Then this battle is destined to have no hope of victory from the beginning.

Wang Xuexin called back: "I just hope to minimize the losses of the Chinese army!"

Stilwell replied: "I do my best!"

Indeed, he could only do his best. This battle was not something that Stilwell, the name commander, could not control it, and the battlefield was changing rapidly, and no one dared to say that he could "control".

"We are too optimistic about this battle!" Sun Erwei sat in front of Wang Xuexin with some frustration and said, "Wang, if this is the case, did you not expect the consequences it would have?"

"The consequences?" Wang Xuexin was stunned, and then realized what Sun Erwei said: "Are you saying that the Yunnan-Burma Highway has been completely blocked?"

Because this has happened in history, and even so, China did not perish because of this, so Wang Xuexin acted very calm.

This surprised Sun Erwei. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, of course it's this! Wang, although this is a battle between the stubborn army, you can't be so vague, right? The blockade of the Yunnan-Burma Highway is likely to cause the stubborn army to collapse completely, and the stubborn army to collapse completely, and the Eighth Route Army will be unable to support it. You Chinese people have a saying..."

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold?"

"Yes, it's just that my lips are gone and my teeth are cold!" Sun Erwei deserves to be an intelligence officer who has been in China for many years, and he actually knows several idioms.

"So!" Sun Erwei said: "Don't you do anything?"

"What can we do?" Wang Xuexin asked back.

This stopped Sun Erwei.

Wang Xuexin is right. The Eighth Route Army is mainly distributed in Shanxi and Hebei, and it relies on the mountains to deal with the Japanese. It is 108,000 miles away from the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and there is a stubborn army in the middle... Even if you want to do something, you can't help it.

"Okay!" Sun Erwei said helplessly: "Then do you have any plans? I mean, the Yunnan-Burma Highway is about to be blocked!"

"Of course!" Wang Xuexin said: "Transfer the 10 million US dollars of food as soon as possible, and..."

Wang Xuexin suddenly remembered the Independent Group's "do it yourself and get enough food and clothing", so he said: "Sun Erwei, I want to import a few looms, look..."

"Loom?" Sun Erwei stared at Wang Xuexin in surprise.

At this critical moment, others were rushing to transport guns, cannons, and ammunition, while Wang Xuexin was either thinking about food or looms... This made people feel that Wang Xuexin was not fighting, but was more like a businessman.

But how could Sun Erwei, who has been under the superior conditions of Eagle Sauce all year round, understand the sufferings of the Chinese?

Wang Xuexin believes that when a truly visionary person is difficult to enter China when the external channels are blocked, his most important needs are often not guns and bullets or equipment, but people's basic needs.

The basic needs of people are ultimately four words: "eating, clothing, housing, and transportation".

In fact, what is related to survival is food and clothing.

The "food and clothing" that people often say refers to these two things... If the food and clothing problem is not solved, it will be a death, and they are the basis for continuing to fight against the enemy.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin bought grain without any hesitation.

These grain reserves, coupled with the Eighth Route Army organizing land reclamation and farming everywhere, at least the Eighth Route Army will not have too many problems in the next few years, even if the Henan disaster is serious.

The problem of fullness is solved, and the rest is the problem of "warmness".

Although the winters in Shanxi and Hebei are not as cold as those in Northeast China, it is still common for people to freeze to death.

The Eighth Route Army organized land cultivation and planting cotton... This was the suggestion Wang Xuexin gave before when issuing border currency. The Eighth Route Army used tax cuts, subsidies, small loans and other methods to encourage the people to grow cotton. At this time, cotton had already reached a small scale.

The problem is that the efficiency of hand-spun cotton weaving cloth for the people is too low, and the clothes made of cloth that consume a lot of manpower and time are only enough for a few people in the family to wear... Will there be problems if the disaster in Henan breaks out?

From this general perspective, Wang Xuexin believed that the Eighth Route Army needed a loom at this time.

To be precise, it is not "needed", but "urgently needed", but others have not seen this crisis.

Of course, Wang Xuexin, a person who has traveled through modern times, should be forward-looking.

From a small perspective, if the independent group had several looms... wouldn't it be a channel to make money?

What else will Li Yunlong worry about then?

As long as you take out the woven fabric and sell it, will the money flow in?

Thinking of this, Wang Xuexin nodded firmly and said, "Yes, it's just a loom! If possible, I plan to buy ten units!"
