These days, of course, Zhang Chi doesn't have the heart to pay attention to the war on Peleliuu Island, he only cares about China, China!

However, no matter how many telegrams Zhang Chi sent back, there was no news as if a stone had sunk into the sea, and Zhang Chi even had some doubts about whether the United States had deliberately cut off the contact between the expeditionary force and the country, after all, the contact between the expeditionary force and the country was established with the help of the US military. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is true that there are some difficulties in communication, but it is not intentional on the part of the United States, but a radio relay station set up by the US military in Austria was attacked by the Japanese army, and there were typhoons in some places, so there were indeed many telegrams that were not sent to China.

But that's not the main reason...... Several of Zhang Chi's telegrams were successfully sent to China, but as Zhang Chi had guessed before, this did not attract enough attention from the ****** authorities.

Because the Battle of Changde had just ended not long ago, the battle lasted for 65 days, and the Chinese army repelled the Japanese attack at the cost of more than 50,000 casualties, and the Japanese army suffered more than 40,000 casualties.

Although the casualties of the Chinese army were still higher than those of the Japanese army, such a casualty ratio could already be said to be a great victory, not to mention that China also thwarted the strategic intentions of the Japanese army.

Coupled with the successive victories of the United States in the Pacific theater, the Chinese troops at this time had a psychology of underestimating the enemy from top to bottom...... Many Chinese generals thought that the end of the Japanese army was approaching, and it would not be long before China organized a counteroffensive to defeat the Japanese army.

Therefore, many Chinese generals even referred to the Battle of Changde as the Battle of Stalingrad in China, the meaning of which is...... After this battle, the Chinese army will enter a strategic counteroffensive like the Soviet Union did against Germany.

As a result, no one in China took Zhang Chi's warning to heart.

Principal Jiang actually saw Zhang Chi's telegram, and he was more cautious, so he sent a telegram to ask the US intelligence department...... Of course, the reply of the US intelligence services must have been "there is no such thing, it is purely unfounded speculation".

The matter was over, and no matter how many telegrams Zhang Chi sent, they were automatically ignored by Principal Jiang's staff and not sent to Principal Jiang.

Zhang Chi, who is still on Kwajalein Island, is a little helpless, he can't fly back to China to have a big quarrel with Principal Jiang and the others! If you really do this, then the biggest possibility is that you will be put under house arrest by Principal Jiang and don't even think about going anywhere.

Therefore, Zhang Chi could only smoke one cigarette after another, and the entire command headquarters was shrouded in smoke, appearing depressed and silent.

Sometimes Zhang Chi even thinks, "Fucking Yankee!" You don't fight Japan, Lao Tzu himself leads an expeditionary force to fight Japan! ”

But on second thought...... The logistical supply of the expeditionary force is all in the hands of the US military, and if it tries to jump out of the strategic framework of the US military, the US military only needs to stop the supply, and the expeditionary force will not be able to fight anywhere.

Therefore, the current reality is that whatever you do, it must conform to the interests of the United States, or more precisely, find a way to find common ground between the interests of China and the United States.

But now, the interest of the United States is to shift the focus of its attack to the Philippines, so what can it endure?

"Master!" At this time, a communications soldier reported: "General Halsey asks to see you!" ”

"Nope!" Zhang Chi replied without thinking about it.

At this time, Zhang Chi is annoyed, what does he care about Halsey and Haldong.

"Colonel!" Halsey walked in and said with a wry smile, "I flew back from the front, you can't just send me away so casually!" ”

Zhang Chi leaned back in his chair and said, "Tell me, General!" What's the point of us fighting a war here? ”

Halsey was stunned when he heard this, and then pretended to be confused and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about!" ”

Zhang Chi replied: "You should know that we are fighting here to solve the domestic dilemma...... Yes, I also know that there is only a matter of interests between countries, but the question is ...... Where are our interests? The Chinese Expeditionary Force always rushed to the front line on the battlefield and always fought in the most dangerous places, but in the end it could not stop the large-scale Japanese attack on China. So does it still make sense for us to fight to the death? ”

"Is that what you think?" Halsey found a chair in front of Zhang Chi and sat down.

"Otherwise, what do you think I should think?" Zhang Chi asked rhetorically.

"Forget about it!" "You know, it wasn't my idea, and I'm not in favor of it!" ”

"Of course I do!" "But this could mean hundreds of thousands of casualties among Chinese troops, as well as the suffering of countless civilians," Zhang said. ”

"Why do you think that?" Halsey asked, confused, "I mean...... We don't even know if the Japanese are really launching a counteroffensive as you say, are they? And you are so sure that you even know that the Chinese troops will lose? ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned, and then replied casually: "I guess!" ”

"That's why I don't think you should think so!" Halsey spread his hands: "Now nothing has happened, but you have guessed things so badly, maybe it is still the defeat of the Japanese by the Chinese troops?" You must know that we have recently increased our US aid to China, Burma's roads have been opened for some time, and China's equipment and supply situation are improving. ”

Zhang Chi could only smile bitterly.

Halsey didn't know the situation in China, but Zhang Chi did...... Of course, there are problems with equipment and supplies for the poor combat effectiveness of the Chinese troops, but the most fundamental problem is the chilling command system of the first army.

"So ......," Halsey then persuaded, "listen to me, Colonel! Putting that thing aside, is that okay? The Chinese and American militaries are still allies, and we are still friends! ”

"General!" Zhang Chi asked, "Didn't you come here to do this!" ”

"Of course not!" Halsey replied with some embarrassment: "We are in trouble on the island of Peleliu, and Major General Rupertus hopes that you can help them!" ”

"Can I say no?" Zhang Chi asked.

"That's not a smart thing to do!" Halsey replied, "Although I also think it's excusable. Also, I would like to say...... It's your old friend who is in trouble. ”

"Old friends?"

"Marine Corps!" Halsey said, "Fighting alongside you on Guadalcanal, remember Regiment Commander Clifton?" ”

"Oh!" Zhang Chi nodded.

"You'll agree!" Halsey asked.

After hesitating, Zhang Chi suddenly had an idea, so he nodded and said, "I will agree, but I also have a request!" (To be continued.) )
