The sudden international situation made China the biggest winner. 2c Both the United States and the United Kingdom felt the threat of Japan's aggressiveness. The United States also began to defend the Philippines' troops stationed in the Far East. The British Far East Fleet began to transport troops from India and Myanmar to the country. One was busy withdrawing and the other was busy intervening. It can be said that the consequences of the US government condoning Japan and supporting Japan began to show that Japan had to pay as much as 40 million US dollars in interest to the United States every year. This money was the so-called financial purchase proposal that the United States continued to lend to Japan since 1928. It was also the hundreds of millions of dollars in machine tools, scrap steel, aircraft engines, refined oil, finished aluminum, lead, copper, etc. that support Japan's war of aggression against China.

Obviously, the big cakes that Americans painted to the Japanese before could no longer meet the increasingly dissatisfied needs of the Japanese. The dominance of the Great Japanese Empire and the Third German Empire of Germany and Italy on an axis has seriously threatened the international strategy of the United States' global layout. The United States, which has super industrial and economic strength, is also intending to seek absolute dominance as a political power, changing the European situation that Britain and France have jointly dominated since World War One.

American strategic analysts have made amazing predictions that Japan will eventually challenge the United States in the Pacific. The United States, which has barriers to the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, has not dropped shells from foreign countries for two hundred years. The Americans feel good, and even say it is very good. At least they don’t have to kill like European countries. The French’s strong middle and foreign powers disappoint the Americans. Germany, like Japan, is a small and strong country. The difference is that Germany has a strong army and Japan has a very strong naval force. It is very rare for a European country to pursue the same governance policy and ideology as an Asian country, and it also indicates that cooperation between the two countries will be unprecedented.

Therefore, the US government began to gradually replenish new destroyers and cruisers for the Pacific Fleet. The design industry of large aircraft carriers was on the agenda. The Army also proposed to Congress through the Joint Chiefs of Staff to ensure the security of the United States and the colonies. It was planned to expand the US Army into 36 divisions, a total of 500,000 people by 1942, and to form two to five light and heavy armored divisions, train 200,000 well-trained professional non-commissioned officers and sergeants, and complete the training of five million National Police.

While Roosevelt was working to increase troops to the Philippines, he also made a request to the Chinese government through a senior military staff observation team, requesting that China send a small force with rich combat experience to the Philippines' US military as instructor. The US military observation team led by Brigadier General Wakes finally arrived in Chongqing in mid-November 1940. More than 160 people from Brigadier General Wakes in Chongqing were warmly welcomed.

It should be noted that Marshall, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, has only the rank of major general. The origin of the US military's two rank systems of peace and war has to be traced back to the British occupation. The status of military personnel in the United States was not high or even very low. This was closely related to the US government, the War of Independence, Civil War, and the main three large-scale wars after World War I. The US government broke its promise without exception. Not only did it not fulfill the pensions of the soldiers, but it also waved the butcher knife to the veterans, leaving them to be forgotten regardless of whether they were asked. Therefore, when the country needed it, no American youth was willing to stand up and serve the country.

The overall situation in the United States at this moment is not like the movies of later generations. Young people join the army enthusiastically, and recruitment is not dared to go on a big role in the United States. Many cities and towns have to go on a secret and close to sneaking. Not only are young people of appropriate age unwilling to join the army, but even their parents and families are very opposed, because the US government has long lost trust in the people. The patriotism promoted in later generations does not exist in reality. In the US military, no matter whether the officers and soldiers are not proud of the country, they are fighting for their own robes and brothers and teams, and the honor also comes from this.

If Japan hadn't been crazy about attacking the US Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, the United States would not have been inspiring to unite all over the country, and the collision between national interests and national interests is fully demonstrated here.

Brigadier General Wicks was welcomed and arranged by Chiang Kai-shek at the highest standards, which made Brigadier General Wicks, who were used to big scenes in the United States, and others felt incredible. If the backward countries were hungry, the army lacked weapons and necessary ammunition, but their officials lived a life of luxury like an emperor. Their dance partners were so charming that they could even meet all the requirements they made. Although their English was not standard, they were extremely surprised.

However, Brigadier General Wax was not interested in comparing in Chongqing. The purpose of Wix's trip was very clear. The US government was not good at the overall situation of the Chinese government's resistance, otherwise there would not be a mere $5 million medical loan, so that the tung oil loan matters under negotiation and the current lease bill are the manifestation of the US government's gradual confirmation of the will and determination of the Chinese National Government to resist.

Brigadier General Wicks' more than 160 people on this trip were divided into seven inspection teams. They were to inspect military affairs, military preparations, military industry, armed forces, logistics supplies, staff system, etc., and made quick and accurate evaluations of the military entities of the National Government in order to ensure that the US government can provide the weapons and materials that China needs to use the normal benchmark for use.

Brigadier General Wicks came to the new camp outside Kunming City for inspection. Gao Fei led the deputy commander-in-chief of the Youth Army, Cai Wenzhi, Chief of Staff Shen Yingxiong and others to welcome Brigadier General Wicks and his party at the gate of the camp. He also took great pains to welcome Gao Fei. In addition to the ceremonial guards, Gao Fei did not inspect the unit number safely. This surprised the US officers of Brigadier General Wicks and his party, because the number name of the Chinese Expeditionary Force was still in a top secret state at this time, and they were all called the Chinese Youth Army.

The Youth Army has ten reorganized divisions and six brigades under the jurisdiction of the New First Army. Now some troops are the old foundation of the New First Army, so Gao Fei is not afraid of Americans' random inspections at all. Moreover, the New First Army is a full-name unit, so the Americans decide to go to the army to inspect. As the head of the army, he will not accompany him, so as not to be suspected of supervising fraud.
