Chapter 50 Interests
"The reason is simple!" Zhang Chi said: "The British have always remembered that Burma is their colony, and the Burmese Independence Volunteer Army is fighting for the independence of Burma, and the contradictions between them are irreconcilable, and there may even be conflicts." So, if the British let it know, we might have a lot of trouble in the future! ”
"That's right!" Stilwell on the other end of the phone couldn't help but nod secretly.
Stilwell has never had a good impression of the British, and the interest of the United States is to unite all the forces that can be combined to consume the Japanese army to the greatest extent, and the Burma Independence Volunteer Army is undoubtedly a force that can be united, and it is a powerful force...... It's not that this force is very combative, but this force is all Burmese, it is a Burmese force, they are everywhere in Burma, and winning them means winning the support of the Burmese people, which will provide them with a lot of valuable intelligence and unexpected opportunities.
Stilwell saw what the British did in the First Battle of Burma, so Stilwell believed that the British would not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the Sino-American coalition forces to protect the interests of the British, which would naturally bring a lot of trouble to the future battles.
Thinking of this, Stilwell replied firmly, "You're right, Zhang ...... But I have to say that it's not because I don't want the British to know, but because this information needs to be kept secret, so I won't let a third person know, understand? ”
"Understood!" Zhang Chi smiled knowingly.
Stilwell had made an excuse for the first time, and when the British asked about it, he only had to spread his hands: "Sorry, it's just because this information needs to be kept secret!" Otherwise, there is a high risk that it will bring unnecessary risks to the plan! ”
Therefore, countries talk about interests between countries, and even allies such as Britain and the United States may not necessarily be of the same mind in the face of different interests.
"Do you need to speak to General Stilwell?" Zhang Chi asked Nila beside him.
Zhang Chi is trying to win Nila's trust, after all, the rank of one of his company commanders is too low, and he is not qualified to negotiate with the Burmese Independence Volunteers.
But by this time Nila had already believed it. The reason was that she could understand part of the Chinese, but Zhang Chi's call with Stilwell was in Chinese, so she understood the content of the conversation.
"General!" As she took the microphone, Neela said in stiff Chinese.
"Hmm!" Stilwell obviously didn't expect the Burmese representative to be a woman, but he quickly reacted and said, "Madam, I salute you for your brave deeds, and welcome you to join our team, we will definitely help you drive the Japanese out and take back your homeland." Other than that. You can trust this captain in front of you, he is my right-hand man. You can also leave your contact information, and I'll send someone to contact you later! ”
With Stilwell's words, Nila naturally believed in Zhang Chi.
"What do we need to do?" After putting down the microphone, Nila asked Zhang Chi.
"You didn't come to be discovered by the Japanese!" Zhang Chi asked.
"Nope!" Neela replied.
"Good!" Zhang Chi replied: "What you need now is to go back and do what you have to do!" Then gather some of the intel we need to prepare for our attack. ”
"Is it okay to help the Japanese even fight the Chinese army?" Neela asked.
At this time, Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned, but quickly nodded and said, "Of course!" ”
The war is brutal, and although this decision will put the Burmese Independence Volunteers at odds with the Chinese army, the intelligence provided by the Burmese Independence Volunteers may save more people and achieve greater victories.
"That's right!" Then Zhang Chi asked again: "Do the Japanese have warehouses in Mandalay or Bamo?" ”
"Yes!" Without thinking, Nila replied, "They have been stockpiling ammunition and food since the beginning of the rainy season, and although there are not many of them, they have very little ration for their soldiers. So they've been stockpiling up some supplies for the past few months. ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Chi nodded, and another plan quickly took shape in his mind.
What happened next went smoothly, and Stilwell had Bai Ping and several other members of the military command quickly contact Nila, and then a powerful intelligence agency soon spread out in the rear of the Japanese army.
So. Stilwell easily got the location of the Japanese depot in Bamo and Mandalay, and under the reconnaissance of the Burmese Independence Volunteers, this information even detailed the number of Japanese troops, their location and what the rules were, and where to break through and where to escape.
Stilwell is going to do it. It was just a matter of relaying this information to the Chindit forces.
This could not help but surprise the Chindit forces: you must know that the Chindit forces were the ones who had infiltrated Burma, and how could the Americans get more detailed information than they did?!
In the end, I couldn't figure it out, so I could only attribute it to some kind of high-tech or secret army of the Americans.
After receiving such detailed information, the Chindit troops. Soon two teams were dispatched to attack the Japanese warehouses in Bamo and Mandalay.
At this time, the Japanese army was concentrating on the front line and the logistics supply lines that were bombed by the U.S. air force and were a mess due to the rainy season, who would have thought that the Chindit troops would sneak into their warehouses, so the Chindit forces achieved great success, and they succeeded in blowing up two Japanese warehouses at a very small cost.
After getting the good news, Stilwell called Zhang Chi with a phone call and said, "Zhang, we have succeeded, and you have made another great contribution!" ”
"I feel it too, General!" Zhang Chi replied: "The morale of the Japanese seems to have dropped suddenly, I think this must have something to do with the fact that they knew that the warehouse was attacked!" ”
"Of course!" Stilwell laughed and said, "Of course they won't be happy when they know they're going to go hungry!" But...... You must feed them with bullets! ”
"Yes, General!" Zhang Chi responded.
At this time, Zhang Chi felt that it was quite pleasant to cooperate with Stilwell, at least Stilwell would not be as conceited as other American instructors, let alone as shameless as the British.
Of course, Zhang Chi also knew that Stilwell was from the standpoint of the United States and proceeded from the interests of the United States, and these decisions were also in the interests of both China.
From this, Zhang Chi also realized that in the future, we should firmly grasp the common interests of China and the United States, only in this way can we leave the selfish British aside, and only in this way can we protect China's interests as much as possible. (To be continued.) )
