For example, in the case of leaks, Shen Chenyou did not mention that Zhang Chi and others had guessed that it was Principal Jiang's side that caused the problem, but instead said that they suspected the Yankees of leaking secrets, especially on the issue of the next battle, and they were very unhappy with the Yankees...... It is true that Zhang Chi refused to participate in the war again and again in the meeting, and finally reluctantly made a reserve force, and these words reached Principal Jiang, which naturally made Principal Jiang happy.

There are three aspects to this "Dragon Face Joy":

First, if the Chinese Expeditionary Force does not have a harmonious relationship with the US military, then it will naturally be more on the side of President Chiang, which is beneficial to President Chiang's control of the expeditionary force.

The second is that the Chinese Expeditionary Force refused to fight, which shows that Zhang Chi and others are willing to obey President Jiang's orders, so President Jiang wants to ...... Whether it will work if they are given official positions, I don't know that the reason why Zhang Chi refused to fight was entirely because of tactical rather than political considerations.

Third, the refusal to play is completely in line with President Jiang's intentions...... Preserve your strength, the Japanese will always solve it, what are the Americans worried about?!

Therefore, President Chiang even verbally praised the New Seventh Army in a telegram, and the relationship eased a little.

This also made Zhang Chi realize one point: politics cannot be completely tilted to one side.

For example, now, although the New Seventh Army has a lot of modern equipment and is an invincible force, it is just an army politically, and it is powerless to challenge the United States and President Chiang...... The New Seventh Army is like standing between the United States and President Chiang, becoming a bargaining chip for both sides.

For the New Seventh Army, once it completely falls to one side, the result will not only attract retaliation and suppression from the other side, but at the same time, the victorious side will also have the courage not to take you seriously.

For example, if the New Seventh Army completely falls to the United States, then President Chiang will definitely be furious and use all his strength to counterattack, and at the same time, the United States will also stand in front of the New Seventh Army as a victor...... Your New Seventh Army has no other choice but to rely on the United States, so the United States has to do whatever it tells you to do!

If the New Seventh Army completely fell to President Chiang, then the result would be similar, and the United States would certainly not provide equipment and assistance to a force that was completely obedient to President Chiang's orders and had little use value.

So it's a matter of playing balance, standing in the middle and not offending at both ends, so that you can ask for benefits at both ends, if you don't give benefits...... Just make a gesture and lean to the other side.

Zhang Chi didn't know about this, but apparently he had done one thing right by accident before, that is, he did not fall to President Jiang or the United States, and even had a little trouble with Halsey because of the Tarawa Atoll...... This may seem like a bad thing, but it's actually a good thing.

Even Halsey later realized that he had made a mistake...... He is a little presumptuous in the C47, which is likely to push the New Seventh Army, which is willing to cooperate with the US military and can play a huge role in the Pacific theater, to the side of President Chiang, which is obviously not in the interests of the United States.

Because of this, Halsey sent a telegram to Wang Mazi afterwards, apologizing for the negligence of forgetting to replace the C47, and was glad to hear the news that Wang Mazi and Zhang Chi had arrived safely in Rabaul.

So Zhang Chi realized that the day had come to ask for benefits from both sides, but Zhang Chi didn't know what benefits to ask for for a while? There is no shortage of equipment, supplies, etc., what more could you want?!

On the other hand, Zhang Chi also knew that this kind of playing balance was tantamount to playing with fire, and if he was not careful, he would set himself on fire, so he also reminded himself in his heart to be cautious in his words and deeds, and a poor consideration could lead the New Seventh Army to the bottomless abyss.

When I think of this Zhang Chi, I don't think there is anything about fighting Zhang Chi, after all, it is to save my life, whether it is to save the lives of my subordinates or to protect my own lives, I ask myself to do everything I can to solve the problem. But politics is ...... How does it seem to be more dangerous than the battlefield!

At this moment, I saw Staff Officer Liang running in and said to Zhang Chi: "Shizuo, a group of people have just been transported from China......

"What?" Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but be a little puzzled, since the Shen Chenyou incident, the US warships have not been willing to transport Chinese officers, how can anyone still come?

"They're soldiers!" Staff Officer Liang explained: "It is said that it is a batch of reinforcements, and the American side let them go without much thought!" ”

"Oh!" Zhang Chi responded.

This is not surprising, and the New Seventh Army does need to be replenished.

"It is said that these additional troops are all from the new 28th Division!" Staff Officer Liang added.

"Oh!" Zhang Chi replied absentmindedly, his mind still thinking about how to play balance.

But in the next second, he jumped up from his chair and glared at Staff Officer Liang, "What did you say?" New 28th Division?! ”

"Yes!"

"Liu Bolong's troops?" Zhang Chi asked.

"Yes!" Staff Officer Liang nodded again.

Of course, Zhang Chi remembered this unit, the new 28th Division gave up several important heights to the Japanese without firing a single shot during the Burma Campaign, so that the Japanese airborne troops easily blocked the road from Mandalay to Lashio, making the new 22nd Division unable to reinforce Lashio, which had a very bad impact on the Burma Campaign.

However, these are not the main points, the point is that the new 28th Division was reorganized by the special agents of the military command, but now it is being supplemented to the New Seventh Army as a supplementary army...... What the intention is is that it does not need to be stated at all.

At this time, Shen Chenyou hurriedly walked into Zhang Chi's headquarters, handed Zhang Chi a telegram and said, "Division, the chairman's order...... It is the new batch of reinforcements, we can disperse them to supplement the troops, among which there are also some communication troops, translators, service soldiers, etc., which can be assigned to commanders at all levels! ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help gritting his teeth, and secretly said that this Principal Jiang really has a set, and the plan to send officers to control the New Seventh Army failed, so he sent the military commander spies over, if this matter really wants him to get his wish, then every move of the New Seventh Army in the future will not be able to escape from Principal Jiang's Five Finger Mountain.

At this time, the phone rang, and as soon as Zhang Chi picked up the phone, he heard Wang Mazi's voice: "What now?" Why don't you just go hard?! ”

Zhang Chi knew what Wang Mazi meant, and what he came to be tough was to drive all these military commanders back like before.

Zhang Chi may have really done this before, but now Zhang Chi is different.

"Throne!" Zhang Chi replied: "If it is hard...... The chairman's side will definitely be unhappy, and if it is tough, it will not be too interesting? They came all the way here to sacrifice their lives for the country, how can we live up to their heart of serving the country?! ”
