Chapter 741: An Unexpected Invitation
Dongxing Trading Company Headquarters, New York, USA.
"I had known for a long time that the Japanese would sooner or later become enemies of the United States, but I really didn't expect that the Japanese would be so despicable and shameless, so bold and reckless.
My old friend, to be honest, America suffered all the shame and heavy damage before, the Pacific Fleet was wiped out, and the Hawaiian Islands fell into the hands of the Japanese.
For a long time, the United States will not only be unable to launch a counterattack against the Japanese on the Pacific battlefield, but also face the threat of the Japanese fleet and even harassing and bombing!”
Stilwell's tone was a low voice and roughly told the current situation of the United States, and then his eyes were fixed and his tone was full of solemnity and said to Meng Wuan:
"But we in the United States must recover this blood debt, and we must punish this despicable and evil fascist empire the most severely!"
Meng Wuan nodded and said, "I believe in this. Since ancient times, evil has not defeated the righteous. Although Japan has temporarily won a tactical victory through sneak attacks, it will soon recover the lost first-hand advantage with the powerful American industrial machinery."
"That's right!"
Stilwell nodded lightly, then stared at Meng Wuan with sincere eyes and said, "Last night, the President had decided to provide full military assistance to China, and launch a counterattack and decisive battle with the Japanese army based on the Southeast Asian battlefield!"
Meng Wuan smiled and said, "That's OK. I believe the Chinese National Government will be happy to cooperate with Britain and the United States to fight against the Japanese devils together!"
Stilwell shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't have much confidence in President Chiang's Republic of China government. If he were really a talented and strategic leader, how could the vast Chinese country have fallen to its present level?
To be precise, I do not doubt the combat effectiveness and will of the Chinese army, but I am deeply suspicious of President Chiang’s ability to command!”
Hearing this, Meng Wuan roughly understood Stilwell's intention to visit the door early in the morning, but he still pretended to be confused and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense, but I believe that as long as the weapons and equipment are not at a disadvantage, the national army can still compete with the Japanese army!"
Seeing that Meng Wuan always refused to call, Stilwell was a little anxious and said directly: "Old friend, I will soon become the Chief of Staff of the China War Zone and also serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the India-Myanmar War Zone!
I really hope that General Yang can send an expeditionary force to fight in Myanmar. I will recommend him to be the deputy commander-in-chief of the Indian-Myanmar War Zone. I really hope that he can fight side by side with Commander Yang to fight the brutal and despicable Japanese!
It is for both the national independence and liberation of China and for world peace and stability!”
"Ahem! Are you talking about letting our chief officer go to India and Myanmar to fight in person?"
Meng Wuan was really thundered. He thought this guy wanted him to follow him to Myanmar to fight, but he didn't expect that Stilwell didn't even look at him and directly asked his boss to take action!
"Why is this not possible?"
Seeing Meng Wu'an's strange expression, Stilwell explained seriously: "I have studied General Yang's many battles. I think General Yang is very powerful in both strategic vision and tactical methods.
As long as he is willing to take action, he will definitely lead the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the British and American Allied Forces to defeat the Japanese, preserve the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and maintain the lifeline of aid to China.
In this way, the Chinese armed forces and war potential will be infinitely amplified, and the Japanese Empire will surely perish step by step!
On the other hand, if the Japanese firmly occupy Southeast Asia or even occupy Australia, they will gain extremely rich war resources. Within five years, the Japanese will expand to an extremely terrible level.
At that time, China will definitely suffer an unprecedented catastrophe, and the outcome of this world war will be unpredictable!"
Stilwell was still very self-aware. Although President Roosevelt and Chief of General Staff of Marshall both valued him and put him in an extremely important strategic position, he was very clear about his weight and also knew the characteristics of Chairman Chiang's always like long-arm jurisdiction.
Yang Fan not only has superb command skills, but also has mysterious powers that are hard to understand, so Stilwell planned to pull Yang Fan in from the beginning.
Even Stilwell made up his mind that as long as Yang Fan was willing to lead an elite army to expedition to Myanmar, he would definitely try his best to make Yang Fan the actual commander-in-chief of Burma and India, and he would only be responsible for logistics support!
"Well, I really can't make the decision, but I can report your suggestions to the chief executive as soon as possible!"
After listening to Stilwell's careful explanation and sincere invitation, Meng Wuan couldn't help but be moved. If Yang Fan really wanted to lead his troops to Myanmar, wouldn't he be able to go to Myanmar to fight?
Thinking of this, Meng Wuan was so excited that he quickly said to Stilwell: "However, I have a condition. If the chief executive really wants to go, then you must bring me with you too!"
Stilwell smiled happily and said, "If that's the case, I'm not going to ask for anything! I'm just afraid that the United States cannot do without you. There must be someone who can make the decision for such a large company?"
Meng Wuan waved his hand and said, "A man is ambitious and I have been here for a long time. It's time to go out and fight the Japanese with real swords and guns! As for this place, there is no need to worry at all, all aspects are on the right track!"
"That's good! Please contact General Yang as soon as possible!"
Stilwell laughed so hard that he couldn't stop. Looking at Meng Wuan's anxious look, he knew that things were going to be done!
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll send a telegram now!"
Meng Wuan immediately stood up and went directly to the company's intelligence department to send a telegram.
Due to the time difference, Yang Fan received the telegram at 8:25 pm.
"What? There is such a thing?"
When he first received the telegram, Yang Fan felt a little surprised because he had no plan to form an expeditionary force to fight the Japanese abroad from the beginning.
First of all, I am not short of supplies and do not need US military assistance at all. I also know that even if Myanmar falls and breaks the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the Hump route and the China-India Highway will soon appear.
Secondly, Yang Fan knew that the British army in India and Myanmar was simply a group of pig teammates. Fighting side by side with them was purely looking for abuse!
Yang Fan didn't want to bring a group of passionate men to be cannon fodder for foreigners, and compete with the Japanese on the road with the right time, place, people and people!
But when she thought about it, Yang Fan was also a little moved. As long as Stilwell could calm the ground and handle the command of the British and the Chinese Expeditionary Force, there was no room for operation.
And there is another factor that forced Yang Fan to consider, that is, the historical trajectory has undergone a serious deviation. If the Japanese even captured India, it would be ruined.
At that time, the Japanese devils will become unprecedentedly powerful. Even if they have full firepower, they will never have to fight the Japanese devils with a steady stream of war resources and the strongest troops can reach tens of millions.
