You must know that Montgomery was respected by the British as a "military genius", but now he is said to be "lacking military common sense...... This was a great disgrace for Montgomery. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

So Montgomery could not hold it, and immediately blushed and roared: "Watch your words, Major General! How dare you speak to your chief like that?! ”

"Isn't it?" Zhang Chi sneered: "General, I only ask you, if I obey your orders to defend in Maherama, then can I still stand here and talk to you now?" Will my men survive? And the British army in Maherama and even the 1st Panzer Regiment! ”

Montgomery couldn't help but be speechless, although what Zhang Chi said was just a hypothesis, but he had to admit that he had no confidence in being able to defend Maherama from the beginning, and he sent the Chinese army to Maherama even with the mentality of "a dead horse as a live horse doctor".

"General!" Zhang Chi continued: "I don't know what your British army is like, but our Chinese Expeditionary Force is the first goal of survival and the lives of our subordinates!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Chi hung up the phone.

Although this can be regarded as a confrontation with his superiors, Zhang Chi does not regret it at all, and even feels that he is not scolded hard enough.

Because Zhang Chi has always had hatred in his heart, hating these British devils for only treating themselves as human beings and not taking other people's lives seriously, just like in Burma, how many Chinese officers and soldiers have been pushed into the fire pit because the British have a little calculation in their hearts...... And it is these British people who are full of "benevolence, righteousness, morality" and "humanitarianism".

Now that they have arrived at the North African battlefield, the British still want to play this trick, and they still want to push the Chinese army into the fire pit...... Can't fucking do it!

A hint of murder flashed in Zhang Chi's eyes, and he made up his mind: if these guys annoyed him, he would leave it alone and return to Okinawa, regardless of whether his history would change or not affect the battlefield in Southeast Asia, he would rather fight with the enemy than be sold by these hypocrites and count the money for them.

Montgomery's lungs on the other end exploded, and he slammed the microphone and scolded: "Fuck, I really don't understand how the Americans can stand this pretentious guy!" ”

"General!" Ramsden wanted to say something, but soon realized that if he told the truth, he would probably add fuel to the fire, so he swallowed the next sentence back.

"No way!" After thinking about it, Montgomery said to Ramsden: "Send a telegram to General Nimitz......"

"General!" Ramsden cautiously persuaded: "We need commanders like Zhang Chi, and we also need Chinese troops!" ”

"God!" Montgomery said, "Don't you understand? Yes, the Chinese army did win a battle, but that doesn't mean anything! If this Chinese commander continues to flout the command of his superiors, our entire army will soon lose its cohesion and become a mess! I will not give up an entire army for the sake of one division! ”

It should be said that Montgomery's idea is still reasonable, and in fact, Zhang Chi has challenged Montgomery's authority. What's more, the British army is still composed of many countries and different ethnic groups, Australia, India, etc., if the Chinese army can do this on its own, does that mean that other troops can also do the same?

Of course, there is an essential difference between this, the Australian and Indian armies are British colonial armies, while the Chinese army is an ally of the British army, and the Chinese army itself should be treated differently, but Montgomery did not fully recognize this.

So it is understandable for Zhang Chi to do this...... Damn, Lao Tzu is fighting here to save the lives of the British, not only do you not thank you but also point fingers at the Chinese army and don't treat the Chinese army as a human being, which onion are you?!

A telegram from Montgomery was soon delivered to Nimitz.

Most of the missions of the US Navy in Southeast Asia have ended, and the Japanese mainland only needs to divide a fleet to train the Chinese Navy to sit back and relax, and the Japanese army in the direction of Southeast Asia has no shipbuilding capacity, so it is impossible for the Japanese Navy to make a comeback, and the rest is MacArthur and the army fighting hard in that area.

As a result, the navy gradually shifted its main forces to the European theater of operations to cooperate with the British army.

Nimitz took the telegram and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning, it was all written that Zhang Chi's disobedience to orders and unauthorized actions had caused a very bad impact on the Allied forces.

Nimitz put the telegram aside, and while picking up his coffee, he asked his assistant Colonel Anderson: "I heard that the Chinese army won a big victory in North Africa, didn't I?" They repelled the Germans with the strength of an armored regiment a division? ”

"Yes!" Anderson replied: "The detailed result is that nearly 200 tanks of the German Panzer Division were destroyed!" This is more than twice as many tanks as the Chinese armored regiment, while the Chinese armored regiment lost only more than thirty tanks! ”

"Well done!" Nimitz couldn't help but praise.

After thinking about it, he continued: "The British just do this kind of foolish thing, or can it be said that ...... They have ruled too many colonial armies for too long and are accustomed to others obeying their orders rather than listening to others' opinions! ”

"I've heard ......," Anderson added, "Major General Zhang Chi of the Chinese army, who once asked Halsey for equipment!" ”

"Huh?" Nimitz raised his eyebrows: "Equipment? ”

Nimitz felt a little strange, this Chinese elite was specially sent by him, and such a unit would still lack equipment?

"Yes!" Anderson replied: "The British have given priority to the British in all the tanks and weapons we have given them, and the rest of the troops, including the Chinese army, are short of equipment. ”

"So...... And what about the Chinese armored regiments? Nimitz asked: "Where did their tanks come from?" ”

"It was urgently equipped in Mahairama!" Anderson replied: "The day before, the Chinese army only had rifles in their hands, and they didn't even have bullets!" ”

Nimitz looked at Anderson in disbelief: "What you said is true?" ”

Anderson nodded: "I also heard about it not long ago, do you need me to check it out?" ”

Nimitz shook his head and glanced at Montgomery's telegram...... In fact, there is no need to verify it at all, this telegram and the results of the Chinese army can tell the story, in any case, it is a mistake to be so eager to drive out an army that has just established meritorious service.

Disobedience to orders does affect the cohesion of the army, but merit is not rewarded, but it is repulsive...... And how can it not chill the soldiers?

So, Nimitz felt that it was Montgomery who really needed to reflect on it.
