Chapter 611 The Burmese Storm (5)
International politics is undoubtedly extremely dirty. Gao Fei looked at Stilwell who looked unhappy. Historically, when the US military started its strategic counteroffensive in the Pacific battlefield, Japan still had 64% of its army and 48 divisions.
regiment, twenty-four independent mixed brigades and 47 percent
Seventy-five squadrons of the army and navy's aviation forces were pinned down on the Chinese battlefield, while the Japanese Army's strength on the Pacific battlefield was less than 22% of the total strength. Even at its peak, it had less than 20 divisions. The aviation force was
The force accounts for 29% of the total army, navy and aviation force.
Historically, the U.S. Army Department also stipulated that military aid to China could not affect the needs of the U.S. military and the United Kingdom. Therefore, aid to China always gave way to the needs of other countries, such as the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. Aid materials to China were often misappropriated, so the total amount obtained was
is an insignificant part. Almost from the beginning, the U.S. mainland
The Army and the Ministry of Finance required strict control and supervision of the leasing materials to aid China. The distribution of leasing materials was controlled by the Arms Distribution Committee of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United Kingdom and the United States. China was not allowed to send representatives to participate. The so-called bureaucratic corruption in the country of leasing materials was actually the largest
If you can't even see the lies, how can you get rid of corruption?
In the second Washington Conference held during Churchill's visit to the United States, China was not invited to participate, which was a clear discrimination against China. In addition, the United Kingdom and the United States also rejected China's request to participate in the Joint Chiefs of Staff Conference, and the reason for the reply was simply to keep confidentiality.
In this regard, Chiang Kai-shek was extremely dissatisfied and complained to Roosevelt that if the Anglo-American Joint Chiefs of Staff and the material distribution organization could not be expanded to allow China to participate, China would be just a tool in this war. The United Kingdom and the United States have so far not allowed China to participate in the war.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff Conference is an example. What happened to us at the post-war peace conference if we had already suffered in the war? Chiang Kai-shek's anger only remained at the level of anger.
Stilwell did help a lot on these issues, including not allowing China to enter the Joint Chiefs of Staff? It can be said that Stilwell, a friend of the Chinese people, is quite interesting. He does not look down on Chinese soldiers at all, but only regards them as
It is just a tool for his military career promotion. For Chinese soldiers, being excluded from the command organization is undoubtedly a huge insult. Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice to Mountains and Rivers 611
Now the international situation has reversed, and history has deviated from its original track. Gao Fei sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and looks at Stilwell. The interests of the nation and the country cannot be interfered with by anyone under any excuse. In Gao Fei's eyes, Stilwell is almost at his wits' end.
Well, that’s how the U.S. government is. When it uses you, it’s good for everything, but when it doesn’t use you, it can turn around and betray you. Tata in history
During the meeting, China was betrayed by the United States, the United States and the Soviet Union collaborated, and China's territory was divided. Therefore, the United States' aid to China must be viewed from a different perspective. If you are useful, Americans will naturally be humble to you. When you are useless, the U.S. government will
I will abandon you mercilessly. As a profit supremacist who was ruthless to his own people, Roosevelt only had interests in his eyes and nothing else.
Stilwell seemed to have made an unprecedented concession because Chiang Kai-shek promised that he could command the Chinese Expeditionary Force. In fact, Stilwell knew that he could not command even a single soldier without Gao Fei's approval. However, this was obvious.
It's better to resist on the surface than to stumble secretly. Regarding Goofy, Stilwell believes that actually
Following Chiang Kai-shek's command, Chiang Kai-shek actually had a hard time talking about many things. It was inappropriate for Chiang Kai-shek to directly confront Stilwell, who controlled the distribution of US aid supplies.
There must be a buffer space, and this space is Goofy.
Gao Fei knew that before the meeting with him, Stilwell had a fruitful meeting with Alexander, the new commander of the British Army in Burma. His predecessor, Wavell, was transferred to the Commander of the British Army in India and had no way to interfere in the affairs of Burma, which led to
In order to prevent Gao Fei from doing whatever he wanted in Burma, the British tried their best to save face and convinced Stilwell that the British army would transfer troops with poor combat effectiveness and unreliability back to India, and transfer the elite British divisions with the British Indian divisions.
Come to Burma to join the war.
Obviously, even a blind person can see that the British have completely given up on Burma. The supplies and weapons they shipped previously were just to show their determination to defend Burma and to appease the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the scapegoat who took over the defense. As a result, the Chinese Expedition was flying high.
The military seized the transshipment of British troops everywhere
The materials and weapons hoarded by the army, and even the equipment of the 7th Armored Brigade and the 2nd Royal Heavy Artillery Brigade, were detained under the pretext. Alexander was here to clean up the mess, so even if the British were robbed by Goofy, they were speechless.
One goal, to evacuate to the safety of India.
Alexander had a very happy talk with Stilwell at Memyo. Stilwell was preparing to counterattack with four to five divisions, while Alexander was preparing to cooperate with the British-Burmese 17th Division and the 7th Armored Brigade. Stilwell was the hand
There was not a single soldier left, Alexander was in a hurry, the 17th British-Indian Division had been wiped out by the Japanese, and the 7th Armored Brigade had all its equipment seized by Gao Fei, but the British did not admit it.
At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the 7th Armored Brigade have arrived in India safely. It doesn't matter if their weapons and equipment are lost, or the completely destroyed roads cannot be used for the armored troops to retreat. The British troops walked back with both feet, and many soldiers were injured.
With only one pair of pants, leaving the weapons to the Chinese may be the right decision.
However, when Stilwell faced Gao Fei again, he still felt lack of confidence. In several meetings with Gao Fei, Stilwell felt a strong hostility, or interpreted it as distrust. The Japanese landing was about to be completed.
Yes, it is estimated that once the attack starts, it will be like a storm.
Steve looked at Gao Fei. He didn't know why among the Chinese generals he knew, only Gao Fei was so unruly and unruly.
Stilwell hesitated and said: "The Japanese Sixth Division attacked Nanjing and massacred the Chinese, the Eighteenth Division attacked Shanghai, the Thirty-third Division occupied Hangzhou, and the Fifty-fifth Division captured
In East China, the 56th Division was transferred from South China. If the results are good on the battlefield, why fight in Burma?"
Stilwell's words changed the expressions of Gao Fei, Cai Wenzhi, and Shen Yingxiong. Gao Fei responded unceremoniously: "The Japanese army's strategic purpose is to cut off the lifeline of material assistance to China. If you had provided assistance earlier,
, why do the Japanese dare to get involved in the Far East and
Southeast Asia? We can even counterattack North Korea and the Japanese mainland. The Japanese army is arrogant and rampant. That is because they have not met our young army. Under the city of Nanchang, I used a division of troops to defeat the Japanese army of 150,000. We held on to the isolated city until we ran out of ammunition and food. The Japanese army
