Sure enough, it didn't take long to turn around in the west of the city when I saw more than a dozen military vehicles full of supplies turning around the street corner and driving away.

"Drive in the direction they're coming from!" Zhang Chi ordered.

"Yes!" The extremely poor student responded, and only then did he understand Zhang Chi's purpose of asking him to go to the west of the city to go around.

Looking down the street, Zhang Chi and the others really found the location of the warehouse, but what they saw made them very disappointed: a huge warehouse was empty at this time, only a pile of rags and dozens of boxes of ammunition were piled up at the door, and more than a dozen British soldiers were slowly moving to the car.

"Hey, dude!" A British soldier led by Zhang Chi and the others grinned: "You guys are late!" ”

Zhang Chi smiled bitterly, these British people can't fight, but they are very good at calculating friends.

But he wasn't angry either...... This time on the battlefield has taught him that negative emotions such as anger, regret, and complaining will not help anything but make things worse, and here you can only face reality.

Zhang Chi walked up and casually handed a cigarette to the British soldier, who was also a second lieutenant, and scolded: "This damn war, we should have had breakfast at home with our families!" ”

Zhang Chi was not complaining, but trying to resonate with the British soldier and get something of value.

"That's right!" A hint of nostalgia flashed in the British soldier's eyes, and he scolded: "This damn war! ”

But after thinking about it, he smiled again: "But it's because of this damn war that we can go home!" ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile bitterly again, the British lieutenant in front of him obviously sensed the intention of his superiors to withdraw from Burma, so he was looking forward to it now.

"You ......" Zhang Chi raised his head towards the empty warehouse and asked, "When did you start moving?" ”

"Three days ago!" The British lieutenant replied without thinking about it.

Damn, Zhang Chi scolded in his heart, this British guy also said that there was no gasoline and no ammunition, and only this warehouse let them move for three days!

"You ...... Doesn't it mean that there is a shortage of gasoline? Zhang Chi asked pretending to be puzzled.

The British lieutenant couldn't help laughing, he patted his flabby shoulder and shook his head, "They're kidding you, those despicable Englishmen!" ”

"Are you Scottish?" Zhang Chi asked.

Zhang Chi knows that there are many Scots who do not want to call themselves British for historical reasons, and even hate the British.

"Yes!" The British second lieutenant spread his hands, looked around helplessly and said, "That's why we were arranged here to do the finishing work!" ”

"Hmm!" At this time, the British second lieutenant noticed that Zhang Chi was also carrying Enfield on his back, and it was Enfield with a scope.

"This was paid from the Japanese?" The British second lieutenant asked.

"From the Burmese Volunteers!" Zhang Chi replied: "They are as pervasive as rats!" ”

"It's as annoying as a rat!" The second lieutenant of the British army agreed.

Since he knew that this British second lieutenant was a Scottish, Zhang Chi asked bluntly: "I want to know why those English would rather leave ammunition, gasoline and even tanks and heavy artillery to the Japanese than us Chinese!" ”

"Dude!" The British lieutenant smiled, took a puff of smoke, and then replied: "You don't know the cunning Englishmen too well." He is known as the British Empire, the empire on which the sun never sets, if you think about it, they were beaten by the Japanese in Rangoon, but you defeated the Japanese, so how can the British Empire gain a foothold in the world? ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but suddenly realize.

He always thought that the British retreated without a fight because they were timid, that they did not give ammunition or gasoline because they were stingy, and that they threw tanks, heavy artillery and other strategic materials to the Japanese because they were helpless...... Now it seems that they still have very sinister ulterior motives.

"What's more......," the British second lieutenant continued, "Burma is a colony of the British Empire, and if Burma falls into the hands of the Japanese, it doesn't matter, one day the Allies defeat the fascists, and Burma will be returned to the British." But if today Chinese drove away the Japanese and took control of Burma...... Do you have to come back? ”

Don't look at the fascist countries of Germany, Japan, and Italy are in the limelight now, but with Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and pushed the United States, an industrial power, into the front line of the Allies, the final outcome of this war can almost be said to be without suspense.

As a result, Britain had its own long-term plan for the Burma battlefield.

"I'll admit, it's a shame!" The second lieutenant of the British army said: "Although I am not English, I am ashamed of what they have done!" I don't know what to comfort you, all I can say is ...... Fuck the politics! ”

"Fuck politics!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but scold.

In the final analysis, this is a disgusting scandal done for the so-called political and national interests: the British not only used the squadron tactically, but also strategically, and they intended to sacrifice the lives of many soldiers of the squadron from the beginning to protect their interests in Burma.

Where is the gentlemanly demeanor of the British at this time? Where is humanitarianism?!

Later, Zhang Chi felt that his idea was a little ridiculous, only about interests between countries, who would talk about humanitarianism and gentlemanly demeanor.

The reality now is that in order to keep the main artery of the China-Burma Highway, the Chinese side can only be used by the British and have no other way to go.

In fact, what Zhang Chi and others don't know is that London has a more insidious intention: at this time, the United States has prepared a large number of military supplies to reinforce Burma, including guns, gasoline, tanks, aircraft, etc., if the battle in Burma is quickly defeated, then this batch of reinforcements will not need to be put into the Burma battlefield, and this batch of strategic materials will of course be transferred to Britain, the closest ally of the United States.

In fact, this batch of strategic materials that should have reinforced Burma in history was finally thrown into the El Alamein campaign led by the British army, so there was the victory of the El Alamein campaign.

"Dude!" Finally, the British second lieutenant pointed to the remaining dozens of boxes of ammunition and said: "We will leave these ammunition to you, you need them more than us, good luck!" ”

Looking at the British lieutenant who climbed into the car and waved goodbye to him, Zhang Chi couldn't help but sigh, now they really need good luck!
