Chapter 1016 The aftermath continues
"What, you made up the Hump Route by chance?"
Stilwell's face turned dark and said angrily, "Can you communicate with me in advance before you make a fool of yourself next time?"
I was so scared that I thought the US government was not satisfied with my work and was preparing to send a new commander-in-chief of the theater to Myanmar to replace me.”
The Hump Route was in the original history. After the Japanese army cut off the Yunnan-Burma Highway, a large amount of aid supplies were unable to be transported into China.
Faced with such a severe war situation, in order to ensure the military supplies for combating Japan on the Asian battlefield in World War II, China and the United States jointly opened up new international transportation lines.
While Myanmar has not been lost at present, the Yunnan-Burma Highway is still firmly in the hands of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the Hump Route has naturally not been put on the agenda.
This is simply a shadowless thing, where does Stilwell know?
Stilwell was a pure soldier, a veteran who experienced World War I and World War II, and an American who loved his motherland and China.
At present, many countries, including China, are being deeply invaded and trampled by fascism. Even the United States is suffering from severe disasters, and the world security situation is in jeopardy.
Stilwell naturally had a firm position and strong fighting spirit, and stood firmly on the side of the anti-fascist alliance, determined to contribute all his strength to the victory of the anti-fascist war.
The Myanmar War Zone where he participated is at a critical moment. Stilwell is absolutely unwilling to give up halfway, and he must start and end well!
"My friend, you're really thinking too much!"
Of course, Yang Fan could understand Stilwell's mood, and patted Stilwell intimately and said:
"General Stilwell, your work in Myanmar is excellent, and our cooperation is even more pleasant. I will not accept anyone coming to Myanmar to partner with me except you!
I believe President Roosevelt will not make decisions that are unfavorable to unity, and I also have the confidence and strength to maintain a pleasant cooperation between us until we win this world war together!”
"I'm so great! My friend, thank you very much for your affirmation. It is really a great honor to be able to fight with you in this life to resist fascist invasion!"
Stilwell smiled at Yang Fan happily, and then continued: "But then, the Hump Route you mentioned is not completely nonsense, and it is still very feasible to think about it carefully.
Well, if Myanmar is really lost, maybe that will be the only choice in the end, right?"
Yang Fan smiled and waved his hand and said, "If you want the Japanese to believe it, you can't really be nonsense. But you still think too much. The Hump route is simply a capillary that cannot be thinner than the Yunnan-Burma Highway.
Not only does it consume a lot of money, but it also has a drop in the bucket! How could I easily give up the Yunnan-Burma Highway?
In short, Myanmar will never allow complete fall. At least the northern Myanmar industrial base and the Yunnan-Burma Highway must be firmly in our hands!”
"That's good! That's good!"
Stilwell laughed happily again, although he didn't know where Yang Fan's confidence and courage came from while the frontal battlefield was gradually retreating!
The Myanmar War Zone is currently the core focus of Asia. Yang Fan held a press conference and released the news in advance, so all forces who received the news and were concerned about the Myanmar war would listen to the radio as soon as possible.
Among them are senior Japanese government officials including Japanese Emperor Hirohito, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, Army Minister Shunro Hata, Navy Minister Shinro Kawako, and Internal Affairs Minister Hei Yuasakura.
"Sodesna! Tojo-kun, Hata-kun, Kawako-kun, Yuasa-kun, have you all heard it?"
After listening to the radio, Hirohito slapped the table with a smile and said:
"Yang Fan is already shirking responsibility and finding reasons for Myanmar's loss!
This not only reveals that Americans are playing with balance techniques, but also that there are irreconcilable contradictions between Yang Fan and the US government and the National Government.
Further, this is enough to show that the Chinese Expeditionary Force has ended its limits and has no ability to stop the Imperial Army from attacking. In other words, the Myanmar condemnation army will soon win the Battle of Myanmar, haha!"
"Your Majesty is wise! This is indeed a great thing to be happy about."
Hideki Tojo immediately flattered at the right time, then nodded and said, "All tricks are futile in the face of absolute strength. Can the Burmese condemnation army win this war? Isn't it always in the planning of His Majesty?"
"Yes, this result has long been in my plan."
Hirohito nodded in a good mood, then said with a bitter face: "However, I really didn't expect that the Myanmar war would be so difficult and would delay it until today.
Alas, the Empire was really a trick at the beginning, and it took too much attention to the British, which made Yang Fan take advantage of the opportunity, otherwise why would this be!
Fortunately, the great god Amaterasu blessed, and the Japanese Empire was finally victorious. After conquering Myanmar, the Japanese Empire could force the surrender of the Chinese government, and it is expected to end the Chinese incident in the short term!"
"His Majesty the Emperor is wise! The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"
Hearing this, Tojo Hideki and others immediately sang a hymn with joy.
"Yo Xi!"
Hirohito waved his hand and said, "Yang Fan also mentioned the Hump Route on the radio. Is this true? When did the Chinese and American governments have such an idea? Why do we have no news at all?"
"Your Majesty, this is the first time I have heard of this situation today! It is difficult for me to confirm whether it is true or false."
Minister of Internal Affairs Yuasakura Hei shook his head and said, "However, based on past experience, it is difficult for Yang Fan to judge things according to common sense, and he can always do something unexpected.
So the Hump Route may be true, and Yang Fan really has enough energy to raise enough transport planes to open this route to maintain the National Government's potential for war of resistance."
Hideki Tojo waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "It is not that easy to open a hump route from the Himalayas. The consumption is material and the loss of the aircraft is an unbearable astronomical figure.
Moreover, after the Empire occupied Myanmar, the scope of the Imperial Air Force's activities will be greatly expanded. How can we ignore it?
Even if they open the Hump route in the future, it will be just a symbolic supply line and will not play any substantial role. Therefore, as long as the Yunnan-Burma Highway is cut off, China will be completely locked by the empire!”
"Soga! What Tojo-kun said is extremely true, I can rest assured."
Hirohito nodded with great joy, then his eyes turned cold and said, "Then generate electricity for Umejinjun, let him let go, and be sure to win this war cleanly!"
Chapter completed!
