In fact, at this point, Kawabe Shozo's worries are not necessary at all.

The reason is that Stilwell is now also in a false agreement with the British, and he will not really attack the Japanese troops stationed in the Arakan Mountains.

This is because Stilwell wants to better control Burma and maximize the interests of the U.S.-China coalition in Burma.

As mentioned earlier, Stilwell has accepted Zhang's suggestion and decided to support Burma's independence and give Burma political and economic freedom, with only military control.

The key lies in military control...... Whether or not it can be controlled militarily, or to what extent, depends on whether Myanmar is in danger.

If Burma is not in danger, then Burma will not need the protection of the Sino-US coalition forces, so the new Burmese regime will prefer to drive out the Sino-US coalition forces and establish its own army, which is the actual sense of independence.

But if Myanmar is in danger...... If Burma still hopes that the actual independence will drive the Sino-American coalition forces away, then the only thing that awaits them is to be occupied by the Japanese again.

Stilwell wasn't a fool, he certainly knew it, so he couldn't do his best to flank or even wipe out the Japanese troops stationed in the Arakan Mountains with the British, at best, just to put on a show...... Because when the Japanese army is eliminated, it seems to mean that it is time for the Sino-American coalition to leave Burma.

This is also the reason why the Yankees in modern times always act as the world's policeman on the one hand, and constantly provoke disputes between various countries on the other...... Only by messing up other countries can the United States, the world policeman, intervene and gain benefits from it.

Of course, Kawabe Shozo couldn't think of this, so he used a strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", hoping to weaken the strength of the Chinese army stationed in Burma.

Kawabe Shozo's strategy did work, and Principal Jiang couldn't help but be shocked under Okamura Ninji's attack...... At the same time, he felt that the Burmese side did not need to garrison so many troops now, so he immediately sent a telegram to Stilwell, hoping that Stilwell could transfer some troops back to fight the Japanese army.

When he received this telegram, Stilwell's face was very ugly.

He certainly didn't want to be trained for a short time. At this time, the troops that came in handy were about to be transferred back to the country by the "peanut rice". Not to mention that these troops were all carefully cultivated and trained by him with a large number of American-style equipment and American-style tactical armament, and he also plans to let them play a role in the Pacific theater in the future.

But here's the problem...... Stilwell was very good, and although the army in his command was under his command, the vast majority of them were Chinese.

Most of the reason why these Chinese are willing to obey their orders is because the war they are fighting now is in the interests of both China and the United States. And on some issues of principle, such as having "peanuts" and giving them orders at the same time, then most of them will still listen to "peanuts", especially those Chinese officers who were later sent from Chongqing.

"General!" At this point, Colonel Hill suggested to Stilwell, "Maybe that's a good thing!" ”

"What do you mean......"

"Isn't the general going to drive a group of disobedient Chinese officers back home?" Colonel Hill said, "Well, now is the time!" ”

"If peanuts are just officers. Then I will not hesitate to give it to him! Stilwell replied distressedly, "But he also has to ...... And what we lack now is also soldiers! ”

"......No," replied Colonel Hill, "we are not short of soldiers. ”

Stilwell looked at Colonel Hill quizzically.

"As long as we have the equipment!" Colonel Hill spread his hands and said, "Then Peanuts will send soldiers at any time!" ”

Stilwell thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "You may be right...... Although some of the soldiers we train will be transferred away from Peanut, as long as we train fast enough and have enough equipment, then we will have enough troops! ”

"That's right!" Colonel Hill replied, "And we can also negotiate terms with Peanut, such as ...... Allow us to transfer Chinese troops to the Pacific theater, otherwise we will no longer provide them with such services! ”

"You're right!" Stilwell couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this, and at the same time, his head quickly wondered if it was time to form a special army...... Most of this particular force was made up of Chinese officers who did not obey commands. And then send it back to China.

None of this naturally needs to be cared for.

The next day, Pete received Zhang Chi's appointment document, and he excitedly raised the document to Zhang Chi and said, "Hey, Zhang...... You're the head of the regiment now! I've also become a lieutenant colonel! ”

Zhang Chi had known about this for a long time, so there were not many surprises. He just smiled at Pete: "Happy cooperation!" ”

"Of course!" Pete patted Zhang Chi on the shoulder in a friendly way, and joked: "Of course our cooperation is very pleasant, especially when the promotion is so fast, what do you say?" I'm thinking. On the day I get home, I might be a colonel! Dude, thanks to your ......"

"Uh......" Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but ask Pete, "Speaking of going home." Don't you American soldiers go home in three months? It's time for you to go home! ”

"Yes!" Pete smiled, "I was supposed to go home last week, but General Stilwell asked me to stay in the troop, and I agreed!" ”

"Why?" Zhang Chi asked strangely.

Zhang Chi knew that the holidays were important to the American GIs, because it meant that they could go back and enjoy themselves for a while.

"This aspect is the general's request!" Pete replied, "He thinks I'm working well with you, so I don't want someone else to disrupt the situation." But in fact...... I didn't do anything. More important ......"

Pete opened two bottles of beer and handed them to Zhang Chi, took a sip and looked around, and said, "You don't believe it, I fell in love here, maybe I can also say it...... I'm in love with this war! ”

"Are you kidding?" Zhang Chi couldn't help laughing.

"No!" Pete replied, "Do you know what I was doing before I came here?" I was a street thug and often had to live on my wife. Because I committed something, the judge asked me if I would go to jail or go to war...... I chose the latter! ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Chi remembered that when the United States was short of troops, it seemed that it had indeed adopted the method of joining the army to resist punishment for a period of time.

"You know what?" Pete raised the wine bottle towards Zhang Chi and said, "I have found my place here, thanks to you...... If it weren't for you, I think I might have found my place in heaven! ”
