Sure enough, not long after I walked west of the city, I saw more than a dozen military vehicles turning around from the corner with supplies.
"Drive in the direction they are coming!" Zhang Chi ordered.
"Yes!" The extremely poor student responded, and then he understood the purpose of Zhang Chi's request to come to the west of the city to circle.
Looking down along the street, Zhang Chi and others found the location of the warehouse, but what they saw disappointed them: the huge warehouse was empty at this time, leaving only a pile of rags and dozens of boxes of ammunition piled up at the door, and more than a dozen British troops were slowly moving to the car.
"Hey, brother!" A British army led by the army grinned at Zhang Chi and others: "You are late!"
Zhang Chi smiled bitterly. These British people were not good at fighting, but they were very smart in calculating friendly countries.
But he was not angry either... During this period of time on the battlefield, he learned a little: negative emotions such as being angry, regret, and complaining will not help except make things worse. Here, you can only face reality.
Zhang Chi walked up and handed a cigarette to the British army who was also the rank of lieutenant, cursing: "This damn war, we should have enjoyed breakfast with our family at home!"
Zhang Chi is not complaining, but trying to resonate with the British army and bring something valuable.
"It's right!" A trace of nostalgia flashed in the British army's eyes, and then cursed: "This damn war!"
But after thinking about it, he smiled and said, "But it is precisely because of this damn war that we can go home!"
Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile bitterly again. The British lieutenant in front of him obviously felt the intention of his superiors to withdraw from Myanmar, so he was a little looking forward to it now.
"You..." Zhang Chi raised his head to the empty warehouse and asked, "When did you start moving?"
"Three days ago!" The British lieutenant replied without thinking.
Damn, Zhang Chi cursed in his heart. The British man said there was no gasoline or ammunition, and they had to move this warehouse for three days!
"Didn't you... say gasoline is short?" Zhang Chi asked pretended to be puzzled.
The British lieutenant couldn't help laughing. He patted Zhang Chi's shoulder and shook his head and said, "They are you playing tricks on you, those despicable Englishmen!"
"Are you Scots?" Zhang Chi asked.
Zhang Chi knew that many Scots were reluctant to call themselves British due to historical reasons, and they even hated British people.
"Yes!" The British lieutenant spread his hands, looked around helplessly and said, "That's why we were arranged to do the finishing work here!"
"Well!" At this time, the British lieutenant noticed that Zhang Chi was also carrying Enfield on his back, and he also held Enfield with a scope.
"Is this paid from the Japanese?" asked the British lieutenant.
"Since from the Burmese Volunteers!" Zhang Chi replied: "They are as omnipresent as mice!"
"It's also as annoying as a mouse!" The British second lieutenant agreed.
Since he knew that the British lieutenant was a Scot, Zhang Chi asked bluntly: "I want to know why those Englishmen would rather leave ammunition, gasoline, or even tanks and heavy artillery to the Japanese than to us Chinese!"
"Brother!" The British lieutenant smiled, spat a mouthful of smoke and replied: "You don't know the cunning English. He is the British Empire, known as the Sun-Don't Setting Empire. Think about it, they were beaten to the Japanese in Yangon and ran away in a hurry, but you defeated the Japanese. How could the British Empire gain a foothold in the international community?"
"Oh!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but realize it.
He always thought that the British retreated without fighting because they were timid, that they did not give ammunition or gasoline because they were stingy, that they threw strategic supplies such as tanks and heavy artillery to the Japanese because they were helpless... Now it seems that they still have very sinister ulterior motives.
"What's more,..." The British lieutenant continued: "Myanmar is a colony of the British Empire. If Myanmar falls into the hands of the Japanese, it doesn't matter. One day, if the Allies defeat the fascism, Myanmar will be returned to Britain. But if the Chinese drive away the Japanese and control Myanmar today... will they still have to come back?"
Zhang Chi was completely enlightened now. The British lieutenant said this. Although the fascist countries in Germany, Japan and Italy are in full swing now, as Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States, an industrial power, and the final victory or defeat of this war is almost without suspense.
Therefore, Britain had its own long-term plans in the Myanmar battlefield.
"I have to admit that this is indeed a shameful thing!" said the British lieutenant: "Although I am not an English, they will feel shameful about what they do! I don't know what to comfort you, I can only say... Fuck politics!"
"Fuck the politics!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but curse.
In the final analysis, this is a disgusting scandal for the so-called political and national interests: the British not only used the Chinese army tactically, but also strategically. They planned to sacrifice the lives of many soldiers in the Chinese army from the beginning to protect their interests in Myanmar.
Where is the gentlemanly demeanor of the British at this time? Where is humanitarianism?!
Then Zhang Chi felt that his thoughts were ridiculous. Only interests were discussed between countries, and who would talk about humanitarianism and gentlemanly demeanor?
The reality now is that in order to protect the main artery of the China-Myanmar Highway, China has only been used by the British and has no other way to go.
In fact, what Zhang Chi and others don’t know is that London has a more sinister intention: at this time, the United States has prepared a large number of military supplies to reinforce Myanmar, including guns, gasoline, tanks, aircraft, etc. If Myanmar’s battle is quickly defeated, then this batch of reinforcements will no longer need to be invested in the Myanmar battlefield, and of course this batch of strategic supplies will be transferred to the United States’ closest ally, Britain.
This is true. In history, this batch of strategic materials that should have reinforced Myanmar were finally invested in the Battle of Alahman led by the British army, and thus the victory of the Battle of Alahman was achieved.
"Brother!" Finally, the British lieutenant pointed to the remaining dozens of boxes of ammunition and said, "We will leave these ammunition for you. You need them more than we do. Good luck!"
