Roosevelt said: "What about the long-term goals?"
Stilwell said: "The long-term goal is to counterattack China and even Japan!"
Roosevelt said: "The Chinese did not perform very well in previous wars. Can they do it?"
Stilwell said: "It depends on who leads the army. If it is someone else, I don't know, but if the general leading this army is Zhong Yi, then I believe he can do it!"
"Zhong Yi?" Roosevelt narrowed his eyes and said, "I have an impression of him."
"Yes." Stilwell said with a smile, "He has been to the United States and even visited the White House."
"He is also a best-selling author and has made a lot of money from us." Roosevelt chuckled, and then his expression became extremely serious again and said, "General Stilwell, I must remind you that this next The decision may very well determine the life or death of the United States. Do you really think Zhong Yi can shoulder the burden of holding Japan back?"
"Yes." Stilwell said without hesitation, "As long as we give him enough assistance, he can do it!"
"Okay." Roosevelt nodded and said, "So, what kind of assistance do we need?"
Marshall said: "What Stilwell means is that it is best for us to bear the logistics of this army!"
"The United States will be responsible for the logistics of this army?" Roosevelt asked. "How many troops will this army have? If it exceeds 500,000 people, it may be very difficult. You know, our Pacific Fleet has been wiped out. From now on, To transport military supplies from the United States to Southeast Asia, we need to go around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa and across the Indian Ocean. The distance is too long, not only time-consuming, but also vulnerable to attack by the Japanese navy."
Stilwell frowned and said: "I'm afraid we still need half a million troops."
"That would be a bit troublesome." Roosevelt said, "It is difficult for us to guarantee the logistics of such a large army. No, if this army is in the United States or in Europe, this is not a problem at all, but if it is on the battlefield in Southeast Asia, It will become very difficult, what can I do?¡±
At this time, Marshall said: "Then let's reduce our troops first. How about 200,000?"
"If the logistics of an army of 200,000 people are ensured, then it won't be a big problem." Roosevelt nodded and said, "Then let's inform the National Government in this way. I remember, isn't their foreign minister in New York? Tell him Minister Song, the United States can assist China through the Lend-Lease Act, but we have a condition."
¡¡
Almost at the same time, Principal Chang was also holding a meeting.
The theme of the meeting is the next changes in the world situation and how the National Government should respond.
Zhong Yi was also considered one of the senior generals of the government at this time, so he was honored to attend such a staff meeting.
At the door of Yunxiu Tower, Zhong Yi just jumped out of the car and met an old acquaintance, Feng Yuxiang. The two had good cooperation during the Wuhan Battle.
¡°Zi Ren, it¡¯s really not easy to meet you.¡±
Feng Yuxiang came up and gave Zhong Yi a big bear hug.
Zhong Yi could only return the same bear hug and patted Feng Yuxiang on the shoulder.
¡°Maybe it¡¯s because he has been idle for many years, but now Feng Yuxiang has long lost the majesty he once had as the leader of the Northwest Army, and looks like the most ordinary fat old man.
But from the following conversation, it can be seen that this man still has ambitions.
"Zi Ren, do you know? The US government has responded and agreed to assist."
"But the Americans put forward another condition, asking us to send troops to Burma."
"The Yankees not only asked us to send troops to Burma, but also made it clear that the number of troops should not be less than 200,000. Damn it, this Yankee's hand has been stretched too far."
"Twenty thousand people, that's a war zone."
¡°The Yankees also seem to want to form a Myanmar theater and accept the command of the Chinese theater.¡±
"The implication is that China will provide people, the United States will provide money and food, and the two families will work together to fight the Japanese!"
"Oh, by the way, Ziren, you are now a serious general, and your military exploits are brilliant enough. If you intend to compete for the commander-in-chief of this Myanmar theater, I will support you, brother!"
From what Feng Yuxiang said, it can be seen that this man is obviously testing.
To put it bluntly, this old guy also wants to compete for the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Theater. Not only that, this guy also wants him to serve as his chief of staff for the theater just like he did during the Wuhan War.
ChangeOnce it is done, it will naturally be accepted.
But this time the situation is different from before.
The reason why Feng Yuxiang raised this issue this time was obviously because he had some ideas.
¡°Obviously, if Feng Yuxiang serves as the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar theater this time, he may not be able to obey him as the chief of staff like he did during the Wuhan battle. If not, the two people will start fighting.
Therefore, Zhong Yi will never put a mother-in-law on his head again this time.
This is not for personal official addiction, nor does it mean not trusting others, but except for him, a time traveler, no one else really can shoulder this important task!
Because the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar theater is really not that easy to be!
On the surface, the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar theater can be said to have both sides. Not only can he obtain manpower from the country, he can also obtain weapons, equipment and military supplies from the United States, and even the United Kingdom will provide them with assistance. However, in actual operation, it is not that way at all. Something happened.
In another time and space, the Chinese Expeditionary Force¡¯s first expedition to Myanmar suffered a disastrous defeat because of this!
In this time and space, if the Chinese Expeditionary Force does not want to repeat this mistake, it must be tough, not only tough on Japan, but also tough on the US and British troops!
??In addition to being tough, you can¡¯t break your face!
The scale of this is really difficult to grasp.
So, it¡¯s not that Zhong Yi looks down on Feng Yuxiang, but that the old warlord really doesn¡¯t know how to measure it.
He thought so in his heart, but Zhong Yi did not say it clearly, but said with a smile: "Okay, since the old officer is interested, I will naturally support him with both hands!"
Although I don¡¯t agree with Feng Yuxiang, I don¡¯t need him to be the villain.
Because Principal Chang was wary of Feng Yuxiang, he was not even inferior to him.
Therefore, no matter who Principal Chang appoints to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar theater, it is impossible for him to appoint Feng Yuxiang.
Feng Yuxiang thought that Zhong Yi was really supportive, so he patted Zhong Yi on the shoulder vigorously, and then the two of them walked into the conference room one after another.
But unexpectedly, Principal Chang had already arrived early.
Seeing Zhong Yi and Feng Yuxiang coming in hand in hand, Principal Chang's expression turned gloomy.
Needless to say, Principal Chang has a list in his heart, and Feng Yuxiang has always been at the top of this list. Although Zhong Yi is a rising star, his rise has been extremely fast. He has now entered the top five, or even the top three, of this list. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
