Chapter 194 New 28 Division
For example, Chen Chenyou did not mention that Zhang Chi and others had guessed that it was a problem that was caused by Principal Jiang. Instead, it was said that it was a suspicion of the Americans leaking the secret, especially when it came to the next battle, they were very unhappy with the Americans... It is true that Zhang Chi refused to participate in the war again and again during the meeting, and finally barely became a reserve force. When these words came to Principal Jiang, they would naturally make Principal Jiang very happy.
There are three aspects of this "longyan joy":
First, if the Chinese Expeditionary Force has a disagreement with the US military, it will naturally be more inclined toward Principal Jiang, which is beneficial to Principal Jiang's control of the Expeditionary Force.
Second, the Chinese Expeditionary Force refused to fight, which shows that Zhang Chi and others were willing to obey Principal Jiang's orders, so Principal Jiang thought... if it would be effective if they were given an official position, they didn't know that the reason why Zhang Chi refused to fight was entirely due to tactical rather than political considerations.
Third, it is completely in line with Principal Jiang’s intention... To preserve his strength, the Japanese will always solve it. What are the Americans worried about?!
Therefore, Principal Jiang even verbally commended the New Seventh Army in the telegram, and the relationship eased a little.
This also made Zhang Chi realize one thing: politics cannot completely turn to any side.
For example, now, although the New Seventh Army has a lot of modern equipment that is an invincible force, it is just an army in politics. It is unable to challenge the United States and also unable to challenge Principal Jiang... The New Seventh Army is like standing between the United States and Principal Jiang, becoming a bargaining chip for both sides to compete.
For the New Seventh Army, once it completely falls to one side, the result will not only lead to revenge and suppression from the other side, but also the winning side will be fearless and take you seriously.
For example, if the New Seventh Army completely turns to the United States, then Principal Jiang will be furious and use all his strength to counterattack. At the same time, the United States will also stand in front of the New Seventh Army as a winner... Your New Seventh Army has no other choice, you can only rely on the United States, so what the United States asks you to do!
If the New Seventh Army completely turned toward Principal Chiang, the result would be similar. Of course, the United States will not provide equipment and assistance to a force that completely obeys Principal Chiang's orders without much use.
So you have to play balance, stand in the middle and don’t offend both ends, so that you can get benefits on both ends. If you don’t give benefits... just take a gesture and turn to the other side.
Zhang Chi didn't know about these things at first, but obviously he did something wrong before, that is, he did not turn to Principal Jiang or the United States, and even had a little unhappy with Halsey because of the Tarava Atoll... This seems to be a bad thing, but it is actually a good thing.
Even Halsey later realized that he had made a mistake... He was a little impatient in the 47th aspect, which would likely push the New Seventh Army, which is willing to cooperate with the US military and can play a huge role in the Pacific battlefield, to President Chiang, which is obviously not in the interests of the United States.
Because of this, Halsey sent a telegram to Wang Mazi afterwards, sorry for the negligence of forgetting to replace 47. He was very happy to hear the news that Wang Mazi and Zhang Chi arrived at Labaoer safely.
So Zhang Chi realized that the day of seeking benefits from both sides was coming, but Zhang Chi didn't know what benefits to get for a while? There was no shortage of equipment and supplies, so what else could he need?!
On the other hand, Zhang Chi also knew that playing with balance is like playing with fire. If you are not careful, you will cause fire. So he also reminded himself to be careful in his words and actions. If he is not careful in his consideration, he may lead the New Seven Army to the bottomless abyss.
When Zhang Chi thinks of this, he is one of the top two. If you want to talk about war, Zhang Chi doesn’t think anything is there. After all, it is to save his life. Whether it is to save his subordinates or his own life, he asks him to do everything he can to solve the problem. But politics... seems to be more dangerous than the battlefield!
At this moment, Staff Liang ran in and said to Zhang Chi, "The teacher's seat has just transported a group of people from China..."
"What?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but wonder. Since the Chen Chenyou incident, the US ships have been unwilling to be transported to the official position. Why would anyone come?
"They are soldiers!" Chief Staff Liang explained: "It is said that they are criticizing the supplementary soldiers, and the United States has not thought about it and let it go!"
"Oh!" Zhang Chi replied.
This is not surprising, and the New Seventh Army does need to be replenished.
"It is said that these supplementary soldiers are from the newly formed 28th Division!" Staff Liang added.
"Oh!" Zhang Chi responded absent-mindedly, and he was still thinking about how to play balance.
But the next second he jumped up from the chair, stared at Staff Liang and said, "What did you say? The new 28th Division?"
"Yes!"
"Liu Bolong's troops?" Zhang Chi asked.
"Yes!" Chief Liang nodded again.
Of course, Zhang Chi remembered this unit. The newly formed 28th Division gave up several important high grounds to the Japanese without a single shot during the Myanmar Battle, allowing the Japanese airborne troops to easily block the road from Mandalay to Lashio, which made the new 22nd Division unable to reinforce Lashio, which had a very bad impact on the Myanmar Battle.
But these are not the key points. The key point is that the new 28th Division was adapted from the Military Intelligence Bureau spies, but is now being used as a supplementary army to supplement the New Seventh Army... What is the intention?
At this time, Chen Chenyou hurriedly walked into Zhang Chi's command center and handed a telegram to Zhang Chi, saying: "The division seat, the chairman's order... is the new batch of supplementary soldiers. We can distribute them to various troops, including some communication soldiers, translators, order soldiers, etc., which can be assigned to commanders at all levels!"
Zhang Chi couldn't help but gritted his teeth and thought that Principal Jiang really had a trick. The plan to send officers to control the New Seventh Army was failed, so he sent the Military Affairs Bureau spies over. If this matter really made him come true, then every move of the New Seventh Army in the future would not be able to escape Principal Jiang's Wuzhishan.
At this time, the phone rang. As soon as Zhang Chi answered the phone, he heard Wang Mazi's voice: "What should I do now? Why don't you just be tough?!"
Zhang Chi knew what Wang Mazi meant, and the one who came to the forefront was to drive all the people from the Military Control Commission back like before.
Zhang Chi might have done this before, but Zhang Chi is different now.
"Standar!" Zhang Chi replied: "If you are tough,... the Chairman will definitely be unhappy. Moreover, if you are tough, it will be not too insignificant. They ran here from afar to sacrifice their lives for the country. How can we let down their desire to serve the country?!"
