After thinking about it for a long time, Stilwell felt that this approach had many benefits.

First of all, because Myanmar is allowed to become independent politically and economically, it can also be militarily independent if Myanmar wants to...... Of course, this is just nonsense.

Therefore, the relationship between the Sino-US coalition forces and Burma is not that of colonization and colonization, and even the newly established Burmese government and the Burmese people will completely turn to the Sino-US coalition because the Sino-US coalition forces have given Myanmar so much freedom. As a result, Myanmar's internal problems have been well resolved...... The Burmese people will not only not confront the Sino-US coalition forces, but will also regard the Sino-US coalition forces as benefactors to liberate Burma and support Myanmar's independence.

In dealing with foreign enemies, because the Sino-US coalition forces are not colonizers but protectors in the hearts of the Burmese people, it is natural that the Burmese people, including the Burmese government, will not only not restrain the Sino-US coalition forces from confronting foreign enemies, but will do their best and even be willing to provide funds for the Sino-US coalition forces' operations.

The benefits of the U.S.-China coalition are not limited to these, such as the fact that control of Myanmar's military gives it a natural political and economic priority...... Whoever has a hard fist has the right to speak, and this will never change in the international community.

Militarily, will Myanmar sit on its own and throw off the Sino-US coalition forces...... At this time, Myanmar's military is fundamentally inseparable from the Sino-US coalition forces, and militarily abandoning the Sino-US coalition forces, it will undoubtedly mean that Myanmar will fall again. In the long run, if Burma's military is built up with American-style equipment, there will be no ability to break away from American control.

While thinking about Stilwell, he nodded, and then he happily said to Zhang Chi, "That's amazing, Zhang!" Maybe you don't believe it, but your words have solved a piece of heart that has plagued me for days and nights! You can't see that you not only fight wars, but also study politics! ”

"The general has won the prize!" Zhang Chi was a little embarrassed.

It's not that this is self-humility, because it's really not Zhang's own idea...... In the future, the United States will do just that, for example, in the form of stationing troops in Japan and South Korea. To put it bluntly, this is another form of colonization in the new era.

This is a bit like the development of social stages, at first from the development of primitive society to the slave society, the slave society oppressed the slaves to the point that they could not live, and the slaves rose up one after another, so the ruling class had to change the policy and relax the policy of enslavement to the people, and then there was the feudal society, and the slaves became peasants. When it reached a certain point, the peasants were oppressed to the point that they could not survive and rebelled, and the ruling class had to change its policy, so it developed into a capitalist society. Convert large numbers of peasants into workers working in factories.

The same is true of colonial policy, the colonial policy of the British Empire, the colonized countries and the people are all inferior, and there is basically no room for speech and bargaining. However, with the development of science and changes in the international situation, this kind of colonial policy is becoming more and more unable to adapt to the world. Just as Stilwell feared, if the old way of colonization was continued, there would be both internal and external pressures, and this pressure would not last long if it could be suppressed for a while, so there was a more relaxed and more profitable "American-style colonial policy".

"I wish there was still time!" Stilwell looked at his watch and said, "Actually. Every time I talk to you, I always solve many of my problems. It's just a pity that time doesn't allow! And I can't wait to report your proposal for Myanmar to Washington! So...... Goodbye! ”

"Goodbye, General!" Zhang Chi stood up, shook Stilwell's hand, and sent him outside.

"Good job, Zhang!" When you get into the jeep. Stilwell patted Zhang Chi on the shoulder: "I have always believed that Chinese soldiers and American equipment are an invincible army, and the facts have proved my thoughts." So ...... It is quite possible that our war will no longer be confined to Burma. Do you understand? You will have a future! ”

"Yes, General!" Zhang Chi replied.

Zhang Chi knew what Stilwell meant by this, this is a world where there is no justice and evil, only the balance of power. Having an invincible team means power and future.

As for the war, it may no longer be confined to Burma...... Stilwell wanted to bring the Chinese army to the Pacific to fight the Japanese.

Zhang Chi was not surprised by this, because the historical expeditionary force was ready to go to the Pacific to fight the Japanese army after defeating the Japanese army in Burma.

This is not only because the U.S. armed Chinese military has rich experience in jungle warfare and has been tested in actual combat, but also because it is in the interests of both China and the United States to do so.

Needless to say, in line with the interests of the United States, the Pacific Theater was a direct confrontation between the US military and the Japanese army, and objectively speaking, the US Army was extremely unsuitable for a war on the islands in the Pacific Ocean, and most of the reason why they were able to gnaw down those islands was to use planes and artillery to pile them up. So much so that at the end of World War II, the U.S. military used this battle loss ratio to estimate the cost of conquering the Japanese mainland, which was about 2 million U.S. casualties...... This eventually led the United States to abandon its offensive and choose to drop two atomic bombs on Japan.

If the Chinese Expeditionary Force is used, it will be different, on the one hand, of course, even if it is sacrificed, it is not at the expense of the Americans, and on the other hand, the Chinese army also has the spirit of enduring hardships and standing hard work, which is much better than the US military breaking down at every turn and fighting for a few months and then returning to recuperate. What is more important is that the Chinese army can chase the Japanese in the jungle, so the cooperation between China and the United States can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the US military in jungle warfare.

However, in fact, the so-called "improvement of the combat effectiveness of the US military in jungle warfare" is only very limited, because the combat effectiveness of jungle warfare does not mean that it is enough to know a certain tactic or understand a certain theory, and more importantly, the vast majority of soldiers can adapt to the hard life in the jungle and maintain strong energy and physical strength...... This is the basis for the troops to fight in the jungle, and without this basis to say that the rest is basically nonsense, which is one of the reasons why the Yankees have repeatedly stumbled in the jungle and never learned to fight jungle warfare.

As for being in China's interest, that's pretty straightforward.

The faster and worse the defeat of the Japanese army in the Pacific direction, the more the Japanese troops in China will be transferred to the Pacific, which will undoubtedly reduce the pressure on China at home, and more importantly, ...... Once the U.S. military defeated the Japanese army in the Pacific Ocean and even hit the Japanese mainland, then the Japanese army could no longer increase its troops to China, and even had to transfer its troops back to defend the homeland and the emperor.
