It's just that Yang Zhen won't tell all these facts. The negotiating table is like a battlefield, and it is the real and the false that can confuse your opponent. If you tell the truth, I'm afraid you won't know how to lose just like you lose on the battlefield. It is impossible for him to expose all his hole cards, without any concealment, to his opponent at once.

However, he did not exaggerate too much, but slightly magnified the crisis in some aspects. It's a bit much, but it's not too much. After all, he wants to ask for help, and there are some things that can be added with some water, but in the case of a-stirring stick, adding too much water is easy to backfire.

Moreover, no one dares to guarantee when those battle-damaged tanks and tanks that cannot participate in the battle for a short time due to malfunctions will be repaired. If those tanks are not repaired for a day, they cannot be regarded as complete equipment, cannot be listed on the list of equipment strength of the troops, and cannot be included in the combat structure. So when he said this, it was barely a limited amount of water added.

That's right, Yang Zhen didn't say anything about the American Major General Stilwell on the surface, but he always called it a-stirring stick in his heart. He hated this American major general, who would serve as chief of staff in the Chinese theater in a few months, and would be fully responsible for the distribution of American supplies to China, almost more disgusted than he hated the British. If it weren't for the need, he wouldn't want to say a word to this guy.

Yuan Zhiruo's English level is very high, and as for Chinese, the level is not comparable to that of the English translator who speaks Cantonese. She was extremely accurate, and even said that she did not miss a word, and translated Yang Zhen's words completely and clearly to the entire British delegation. Even Pearson, the guy, secretly gave him a thumbs up when he wasn't looking.

It's just that after listening to Yang Zhen's words, except for General Wavell, who seemed very silent, and Major General Slim, chief of staff of the Anglo-Burmese Army, all the British generals present shook their heads, looking very disapproving, and some even involuntarily let out a trace of contemptuous laughter. Obviously, none of them listened to Yang Zhen's last warning.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of the senior officers of the British army present, after giving Yuan Zhiruo, who was the translator, an appreciative look, Yang Zhen shook his head. Yang Zhen didn't want to say anything about the contempt of these Western officers for the Japanese army and even the entire yellow race.

The British people's contempt for the Eastern armies exuded from their bones is not something that can be changed in a moment, nor is it something that can be changed by two things. Especially at present, the afterglow of the British Empire is still there, and the national strength behind them is still quite strong, which makes these British officers even more arrogant.

These British officers believed that although they had lost the battle in Europe, they had been driven out of the continent by the Germans. But in the face of Asian armies, their British Empire still had an absolute advantage. I am afraid that this rather arrogant view of the British will be difficult to completely change without suffering a few big losses.

As an "ally", I have been reminded of what I should have been reminded of, and I have been warned of what I should have warned, and it can be said that I have fulfilled my obligations as an "ally". For these British officers, who were blind and arrogant, and looked down on anyone but whites, it was better to go to the battlefield and let the Japanese katana, artillery, and Zero Battle teach them a lesson.

After they really suffered a few more big losses on the battlefield and were beaten off half of their teeth by the fierce Japanese army, these arrogant British officers would change their views of underestimating the enemy without anyone saying that they did. It's just a pity that even if their protector Cromwell is reborn at that time, I am afraid it will be difficult to save the tide of the war.

However, compared to other British generals who did not listen to Yang Zhen's last persuasion, General Wavell and Major General Slim, the current chief of staff of the Anglo-Burmese Army, the expressions of the two people who were always strict made Yang Zhen frown without a trace.

It was obvious that others didn't think of what he said, but these two people listened to it, and they listened very carefully. Moreover, Yang Zhen also noticed that when he was talking about the battle before, only the two of them listened the most carefully and read the map the most.

Especially that Major General Slim, since Yang Zhen began to explain the course of this battle, he has been constantly recording something in his notebook. And after Yang Zhen issued that warning, the brows of the Major General Slim never relaxed, and his eyes did not leave the combat map. Compared with other British generals who laughed and whispered, he was always in deep thought.

Looking at this veteran who had an unusually stern expression after hearing his last warning, and didn't know what he was thinking, and Major General Slim, whose brows were twisted and fell into deep thought, Yang Zhen's heart couldn't help but move. I kept asking myself in my heart, would this warning be a little too much?

In fact, Yang Zhen knows very well that in the Southeast Asian battlefield early next year, the more the United States and Britain lose and the more places they lose, the more in line with the interests of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. If Britain can withstand the Japanese offensive and hold Burma and even Malaya and Singapore, then it will have an extremely adverse impact on the Anti-Japanese Union.

In Yang Zhen's heart, he always believed that if the British lost even India, it would be in China's best interests. Even if the last passage to the sea is lost, it may have a temporary adverse impact. But it is also in this way that the United States and Britain need more Chinese, whether it is against the United Nations or against Chongqing, will shed more blood.

If the British should heed their warnings and increase their forces in Southeast Asia at any cost, then it will definitely not be a good thing for the Anti-Union and China. Because if Americans think that the Chinese have no use value, they will not pluck a hair.

Major General Slim is currently only the chief of staff of the Anglo-Burmese army, and he is still quite far from the decision-making level of the British army in the Far East. Among those present was his immediate superior, the Commander-in-Chief of the Anglo-Burmese Army. And Lieutenant General Hutton was obviously a little dismissive of Yang Zhen's warning. No matter what kind of vigilance he produces, he can't influence the decision-making of the upper echelons.

But the commander-in-chief of the British forces in the Far East, who was about to take over, was not comparable to Admiral Wavell in terms of influence and decision-making. Although this guy has a very bad relationship with the British prime minister, the prime minister can still listen to this guy's words.

If the British admiral really heeded his advice, he would adjust his deployment when he returned. Mobilize more elite troops from the mainland and the North African battlefield to Southeast Asia, and greatly increase the navy and air force in the Far East and the Indian Ocean, strengthen the defense of Southeast Asia at any cost, and slow down or even resist the Japanese offensive.

Then it is definitely not a beneficial thing for the future development of itself and the Anti-United Nations. If the British army alone can withstand the Japanese army's three-plate axe, because the battle line is too long, there is not much follow-up combat ability to attack. Then whether it is the Americans or the British, I am afraid that a big son will not be helping the Anti-Japanese Union.

Once this situation occurs, then their painstaking planning and operation will become a bunch of vanity. For the real Americans and British, once they have a solution for themselves, or think they can do it, then they will never pay even a penny of additional price.

However, Yang Zhen's worry lasted for a short moment, and he immediately let go of this worry. Because he knew that the British wanted to greatly increase the military strength of Southeast Asia under the current situation, they might not be able to do so. Unless they were willing to risk weakening the British forces in the fiercely fought North African theater and changing their overall strategy in the European theater, they could only do so on the defensive footing.

And it is basically impossible for the British to do this. Europe is the root of the British, and the North African theater is an important part of the entire European battlefield. Don't look at the North African battlefield, which is not on the European continent, but it is covering the flank of the entire European battlefield. At the same time, it was also the weakest and softest belly that could directly face the Germans in all spheres of influence in the whole of Europe.

The loss of North Africa not only meant that the entire African continent was open to Germany. Moreover, the Soviets on the Eastern Front will also have to face the German troops rushing from West Asia. To make matters worse, once the Italian navy controls the entire Mediterranean Sea and the Suez Canal, it will cut off the shortest bridge and link between the British and Eurasia.

At that time, the British, who could only make a detour to the Cape of Good Hope, had no time to take care of the two major theaters of war in Europe and Asia. If reinforcements were needed on the Asian side, for the British, whose lines of communication had stretched tens of thousands of kilometers at once, the daylily would have been cold by the time their reinforcements arrived.

Keeping North Africa would allow the British to attack Italy at any time and gain a foothold to re-enter the European continent while the main German forces were still trapped in the Soviet-German battlefield. Although Italy was a little far from the German core, it was still a counterattack into the European continent.

With these points, both from the perspective of the overall strategic situation and their own needs, the British, who have basically lost all their foothold on the European continent, cannot give up North Africa under any circumstances. At least for quite some time, their entire strategic focus will be on the North African theater.

Not to mention that the Americans have not yet begun any mobilization, and there is no expansion of the army. Even now, mobilization has begun, but when the Americans have trained enough soldiers to be put into the battlefield, I am afraid it will be until the end of next year. That is to say, the Americans will not be able to give much assistance to the British in terms of troops until the end of next year.

The British themselves did not have a sufficient number of land forces to support the two major battlefields at the same time under the premise of ensuring the defense of the homeland. As for their colonial armies in Southeast Asia, no matter how they expanded, they were third-rate armies. With this premise, my own worries are still purely superfluous, and they are somewhat groundless.

Without this worry, Yang Zhen's mood became relatively relaxed in an instant. As for the outcome of these British generals who are really facing the Japanese soldiers in a few months, it is not something he should and can worry about. Even if these guys spent the rest of the war in the Japanese prisoner of war camps, they had nothing to do with him.

Just looking at these British generals who didn't care about their warnings, Yang Zhen was just a little sorry that a few months later, he would almost certainly appear on the battlefield in Burma, and the Chinese expeditionary force that was doomed to death by the bastards in front of him and the shit-stirring stick in front of him.

Compared with Yang Zhen, who has turned so many thoughts in a short period of time. Admiral Wavell, who got the answer he wanted, fell silent, and his attachés, after listening to Yang Zhen's warning, were still whispering about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese and what the real situation was like.
