In fact, Zhang Chi is one of them, so he is a little too worried. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Principal Jiang on the other side is actually more troublesome than Zhang Chi......

President Chiang's original intention of sending this army to the northeast was to force Okamura Ningji's troops back, but he didn't expect that Okamura Ningci's guy went all the way to the black, not only did not go back, but also attacked more frantically and quickly, and finally captured the Japanese division of Guangxi and Vietnam in one go.

For President Jiang, this is tantamount to "stealing chickens does not make rice"...... The strategic goal was not achieved, but the troops of three armies were sent out in vain, and two of them were elite divisions equipped with American-style equipment.

However, Principal Jiang knew in his heart that this was not all bad for him.

One: These three armies are now rooted in the northeast, and the command is still in their own hands, so they are not "lost".

2. The Japanese have a large number of industrial and mineral deposits in Northeast China, and this blow of the expeditionary force can be regarded as hitting the vital point of the Japanese and greatly damaging the vitality of the Japanese army. Not to mention the rest, the planes, artillery, tanks and even guns in the hands of the Japanese army were difficult to get enough replenishment.

Three: This will make the Japanese army invading China face a two-sided attack, and as long as Chongqing and the northeast cooperate properly, it will be difficult for Okamura Ningji, who is caught in the middle, to take care of both front and back.

The only problem with this is...... At this time, the expeditionary force was almost under his command.

Thinking of this, Principal Jiang couldn't help frowning...... Who is this Zhang Chi, and why can't he find out his details by all means? Where he was born, when he joined the army, who his parents were, etc., nothing can be found, as if they appeared out of thin air.

But this is such a person, but in Burma to turn the tide, with the remnants of the expeditionary force defeated more and more courageous, not only drove the Japanese out of Burma to open the China-Burma highway, but also led the expeditionary force all the way to fight in the Pacific. Not to mention his repeated victories, he now even fought the Japanese with only more than 100,000 troops and recovered the northeast.

"Incredible!" Principal Jiang spit out the word to himself.

He had investigated every battle Zhang Chi commanded in detail through the intelligence unit...... This is not difficult for Principal Jiang, after all, the national army, including the expeditionary force, has Principal Jiang's eyeliner.

Judging from Zhang Chi's command, President Jiang felt that this Zhang Chi was simply a military genius, who could do anything about guerrilla warfare, siege warfare, movement warfare, air warfare, and naval warfare, and now there was even a "blitzkrieg".

If such a talent can be used by me, it would be a good thing!

But Principal Jiang knew that Zhang Chi was not willing to obey his command...... Even his own means of seizing power have completely pushed it to the opposite side.

So what's next? Continue to send people to the northeast to seize power?

I'm afraid that this trick won't work, not to mention that Zhang Chi has been on guard, with Zhang Chi's current prestige in the expeditionary force and even in the national army, seizing power will only trap himself in unkindness, injustice and severely damage the morale of the army.

Let the three armies of the Northeast raise troops?

This will only end up chaotic in the Northeast, and if I occupy the Northeast again, then Chongqing will be in danger.

Worse still, if it does, it is likely to upset Americans......

The reason why President Jiang can sit on the ground and raise prices with the United States, such as asking the United States to provide more military aid, is that the United States has only one choice if it wants to let Chinese troops drag the Japanese on the battlefield in China, and that is to cooperate with President Jiang.

So, at that time, President Chiang was not too worried about "Americans being unhappy".

But now, since the Battle of Yuxianggui, President Chiang has clearly felt that the United States is unhappy...... This is due to the fact that the US military's support for the national army is completely disproportionate to the results of the national army.

Even President Jiang had a feeling that the United States was going to abandon him and give full support to Zhang Chi...... Although Zhang Chi is also President Chiang's troops on the surface, anyone with a discerning eye can see that President Chiang has lost control of him, which means that the United States has another choice, and it seems to be a better choice.

As a result, President Chiang had to worry about whether the Americans would be happy.

In case it annoys the Americans who really support Zhang Chi with all their might, then it's all over.

After careful consideration, President Chiang sent a telegram to the Northeast through the communication network established by the Americans......

The telegram was finally conveyed to Zhang Chi by Halsey.

While Zhang Chi was still guessing what Principal Jiang would do, Halsey said to Zhang Chi in the telegram:

"Colonel, congratulations...... He was promoted to major general, and became the deputy commander of the Second Route Army of the Expeditionary Force! ”

"Major General? Deputy Commander-in-Chief? "I don't know why.

"Yes!" Halsey called back and said: "We have just received a telegram that President Chiang has decided to promote you to major general and appoint you as the commander of the New Seventh Army and the deputy commander of the Second Route Army, and the commander is Wang Ninghang!" ”

Zhang Chi didn't call back for a long time, and the news surprised him too much.

"Don't you have a word?" Halsey asked, "Or was you too excited to call back?" Tell you, no matter what, a meal is indispensable! ”

"Of course, General!" Zhang Chi replied.

Then the 6th Army, the 53rd Army, and the 54th Army called one after another, congratulating Zhang Chi on his promotion to deputy commander of the Second Route Army, and expressing his obedience to Zhang Chi's command.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw these telegrams, although this "obedience" was an obedience in quotation marks, because once Zhang Chi's order conflicted with Principal Jiang's order, who would they listen to?

Zhang Chi believed that they would still listen to Principal Jiang.

But even so, after all, it is stable in front of him, and Zhang Chi believes that it will not take long for these troops to be truly controlled by himself in his own hands, and in time...... Even if there were still cases where Principal Jiang conflicted with his own orders, they would choose themselves instead of Principal Jiang.

So......

At this time, Zhang Chi was a little puzzled, why is this President Jiang? With his cleverness and almost paranoid control of military power, it is impossible not to know this.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi understood why.

I am afraid that this is more due to the pressure of the United States, which at this time is already very dissatisfied with President Jiang...... At this time in history, it was precisely because President Chiang's troops were quickly defeated in the Battle of "Yuxianggui" that the United States decided to let the Soviet Union send troops to attack the northeast...... If the United States believed that President Chiang was capable of repelling the Japanese army, it would not have let the Soviet Union intervene.

I am afraid that this is precisely the reason why President Chiang intends to send this telegram through the American network, and he actually wants the American side to know.
