Chapter 745 Four Requirements

Stilwell nodded and said, "That's true, Mr. President, that's why I came to the White House to report to you as soon as possible."

"Only those with ability will have the confidence to offer high conditions. As long as he is willing to send troops to ensure the safety of Myanmar, no matter how high the requirements are, it will not be a problem!"

Roosevelt nodded and smiled, "So, just speak up if you have anything to say, don't be scruples!"

"Okay, Mr. President!"

Stilwell said: "The first request made by General Yang is that he will take over the Myanmar military base, transportation network and government functional agencies. The British troops stationed in Myanmar will either disarm and evacuate them all to India, or the British army must completely obey the command and dispatch of the commander-in-chief of the Indian-Myanmar War Zone!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Roosevelt's indifferent smile instantly froze, and he glared at Stilwell and said, "What does this mean? Does he look down on the British troops stationed in Burma at all?"

Stilwell smiled bitterly and said, "Although the British Empire has become increasingly weak, they do not recognize reality in their bones, and are still full of arrogance and prejudice.

There is an old Chinese saying, "Father and son are in battle, brothers are fighting tigers." I think General Yang is worried about the arrogance and prejudice in the bones of the British army, so that they will not cooperate with the Chinese army, and will even play a counter-effect, so they are unwilling to fight the Japanese army with them."

Roosevelt asked, "Do you think so?"

Stilwell replied tactfully: "From the current performance of the British Marine Corps, whether it is the European battlefield, or the ongoing battlefields such as Hong Kong and Malay Peninsula, the combat effectiveness of the British army is indeed not satisfactory.

However, the British are still immersed in the afterglow of the Sun Never Setting Empire and cannot see the status quo. They look down on the Chinese people at all. Even our America is just a group of nouveau riche in their eyes.

Therefore, what General Yang is worried about is also the thing I am most worried about now. If the British and Chinese troops cannot work together, they will lose half of the battle before the battle starts!"

"If that's the case, this requirement is worth considering!"

Roosevelt nodded, then changed the subject: "However, Britain is now the most determined and powerful ally of the United States. We must consider their feelings. Myanmar is the territory of the British after all, and I have to talk to Churchill first before making a decision."

"OK!"

Stilwell continued: “General Yang’s second requirement is to fight for air supremacy.

General Yang mentioned that they will send at least 150 combat aircraft to Myanmar, and also asked us to assist enough combat aircraft to Myanmar as soon as possible, and send a group of outstanding pilots to assist their air force in obtaining air supremacy on the Myanmar battlefield!"

Roosevelt nodded and said, "This is no problem. Air supremacy is indeed very important. To protect the Myanmar and Burma Highways, a strong air force must be used as a guarantee!"

"That's good!"

Stilwell nodded and smiled, then said: "General Yang's third request is to ask us to make a request to the National Government to send at least 10 elite troops to Myanmar to fight, and to recruit 200,000 strong men from China to sleep to assist in the construction of fortifications!"

"This is completely free. As long as we make a request to the National Government, they have absolutely no reason to object!"

Roosevelt nodded confidently. The National Government has been looking at American aid, looking at the military alliance with the United States, and making efforts to defend Myanmar, which is naturally a matter of duty!

"OK!"

Stilwell then said: "General Yang's last request is to let me set out as quickly as possible to arrive in Yangon, Myanmar, and meet him, and immediately start implementing the Myanmar defense combat plan!"

"This is not a problem! The Japanese have begun to attack Malaysia and the Philippines. The situation in Southeast Asia is extremely urgent. The faster the battle in Myanmar, the better!"

After a pause, Roosevelt said in a deep voice: "The only difficult problem is the British army stationed in Myanmar and the jurisdiction of Myanmar. Strictly speaking, this is not a big problem.

Myanmar is just an inconspicuous piece of the many colonies of the British Empire. It is absolutely fine if we open our mouths to borrow this land.

However, before this, you must have a serious talk with Churchill! This way, I'll call Churchill now, you can wait here first!"

"Okay, Mr. President!"

Stilwell immediately stood up and watched Roosevelt's secretary push Roosevelt out of the office.

On the morning of December 27, at 9 o'clock, the conference room of the Gaomi Huben Army Command.

According to Yang Fan's request, 92 officers above the military level were present, and the stars were flashing in the room, making it very lively for a while.

Such high-level military conferences only last five or six times a year, and being able to attend the conferences is the core force of the Hu Ben Army. This not only has identity and glory, but also has heavy responsibilities.

It was almost nine o'clock, and Yang Fan walked into the conference room "late" afterwards.

"stand up!"

"salute!"

As soon as Yang Fan showed up, everyone in the conference room stood up and saluted Yang Fan in awe!

The Hu Ben Army was able to develop to its current scale with the pressure of the Japanese, and the fact that everyone can enjoy the current glory and status can be said to be entirely thanks to Yang Fan.

So there is no doubt that Yang Fan is already the only faith in the eyes of everyone, and the supreme leader with absolute authority!

"Please sit down everyone!"

Yang Fan returned the greeting, then took off his military cap and placed it on the table. After taking a seat, he first exchanged greetings with everyone and then changed the subject: "Okay, everyone is quiet, and the meeting is officially held now.

Before talking about the serious business, I would like to let Director Huang tell you the latest information and changes in the international situation!”

"OK!"

Huang Hong nodded immediately and said loudly: "On the morning of December 25, the Japanese special fleet attacked Pearl Harbor..."

According to the written manuscript, Huang Hong carefully told everyone about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and destroyed the US Pacific Fleet, and then took the opportunity to attack Midway Island, Wake Island, Johnston Island, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

"No way, Japan is so powerful?"

"Oh my god? Is this true?"

"Is the little Japanese navy so powerful?"

"Good, what should we do next?"

Just as Li Shuchun, Miao Dadong and others reacted yesterday, the senior officers were shocked. They really didn't expect that in their eyes, the country would really dare to provoke Americans, and beat Americans so miserably.

Especially after hearing the analysis of Japan's next expansion action, everyone took a deep breath.
