Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although letting the Japanese army enter Siam in advance and publicly break up with the United States and Britain as early as possible in order to be more proactive in seeking American aid for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, this was a plan that I had planned and implemented as early as the beginning of the year.  But Yang Zhen didn't know whether the Japanese army's move had any effect on his original plan.

    Because so far, he has not received any relevant report from the intelligence department.  You must know that although the action plan has been issued, Yang Zhen's personal approval must be obtained to initiate the anti-league operation of placing moles in the Japanese army.  If the Japanese army's move was really their plan that was successfully implemented, Yang Zhen would definitely not know about it.

    Before receiving a similar report from the Intelligence Ministry, Yang Zhen was not sure whether the Japanese army's move was related to his plan.  He was even less sure how much role the mole he had placed in the army, which had been transferred to the Southern Army, played in it.

    However, although he was a little surprised, for Yang Zhen, no matter what the Japanese army did in Southeast Asia, how the British would react to the aggressive posture of the Japanese army was not what Yang Zhen wanted to consider.  For him, how many colonies the British lost and how many British people died had nothing to do with him or the resistance.

    On the contrary, the more the Japanese army makes troubles in Southeast Asia, the greater the pressure it will bring to the United States and Britain, and the more beneficial it will be to the Anti-Japanese Alliance and even the entire Chinese War of Resistance.  The more trouble the Japanese army makes in Southeast Asia, the more the Americans and British need the Chinese.  As the Resistance Alliance has contained the largest heavily armed group of the Japanese army at present, there will be more opportunities for model fish among them.

    ¡°However, there is another negative impact of the Japanese army¡¯s move that he cannot consider.  The Japanese army's entry into Siam and Laos certainly posed a great threat to British Burma and even British India.  However, he is very worried about the threat of the Burma Highway, China's only main artery for import and export of materials, and the subsequent impact of this threat.

    Although he also knew the fragility of the Burma Highway and its importance to China as a whole in persisting in the war of resistance, and even its decisive influence on whether China could persist in the war against Japan, he was destined to be defeated after the Japanese publicly broke up with the British.  It will be the key target of the first wave.

    Not only for Myanmar's oil and mineral products, but also to cut off China's only lifeline to the outside world, it will also cause the Japanese army to attack British Myanmar as soon as the Pacific War begins. This Britain is not stable in the first place. Most of the residents except those  All non-Europeans hate the British with gnashing teeth.

    Yang Zhen believes that it is not his turn to worry about how the British will be beaten.  In fact, Yang Zhen has no good impression of the British, who have always been selfish and greedy, neither now nor in future generations.  Yang Zhen didn't care how much they lost under the Japanese attack.  Even the greater the British losses, the happier Yang Zhen will be.

    But for Yang Zhen, what he was more worried about was that once the Japanese army launched an attack on British Burma, the British would definitely ask for their own troops.  They have actually mentioned this suggestion.  The Nationalist Government in Chongqing would never agree.  But what about after the failure of the first expeditionary force into Burma?  Will the Nationalist Government, eager to open up a lifeline, agree to this damaging idea proposed by the British?

    If Chongqing cannot withstand the joint pressure of the United States and Britain and asks the central government to send troops to the Anti-Japanese War, what will the central government do?  During the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, after repeatedly asking for cooperation from the North China troops to no avail, the Chongqing side ignored the actual combat capabilities of the internal troops and publicized the central government's unwillingness to save the country.  In terms of public opinion, it has caused considerable passivity for the central government.

    ??And this war in Yunnan and Burma is related to China's destiny, especially under the current situation of whether China can guarantee the last external channel.  Will Chongqing, which is in a hurry, agree to the suggestions of the United States and Britain and join forces with the United States and Britain to put tremendous pressure on the central government?  Will the central government finally agree to send troops in order to calm the pressure from domestic public opinion?

    Once the central government agrees to send troops, how much impact it will have on his future strategy is a question that Yang Zhen has to consider.  If he was still too far away from Chongqing before, now that the situation in Southeast Asia has undergone extremely adverse changes, Yang Zhen feels that this distance has suddenly been narrowed.

    Yang Zhen knew very well that the British military delegation¡¯s request for the Anti-Japanese Alliance to send troops to help defend its Southeast Asian colonies when necessary was definitely not an isolated one.  It's not just the wishful thinking of the British, it must also be mixed with American meanings.  It's even possible that this idea came from the Americans.

    ¡°Maybe the United States and Britain have reached a certain secret agreement in private, behind the backs of the Chinese.  Using aid supplies as a bargaining chip, they force themselves to send troops to Southeast Asia at their request when necessary to defend their so-called crown and jewel colonies.

      Although this proposal from the United States and Britain is certain to encounter firm opposition from Chongqing.  Not only are their hearts at odds with each other, but they can no longer maintain their appearance on the surface.  It's just that now, under the pressure of a powerful enemy, both sides still have some scruples, and they still barely maintain their position without publicly breaking out. However, after defeating Japan, they will definitely become their opponents' armies. No one in their core control areas will be willing to do this.  made.

    And from a political propaganda point of view, Chongqing will not agree easily.  It is no longer the past three, seven or eight years when, despite repeated defeats, each other exaggerated and publicized each other's achievements in order to stabilize people's hearts and show unity within China.  At present, Chongqing has begun to suppress Yan'an in various ways.

    ¡°If one¡¯s old rivals are allowed to outperform oneself on the battlefield, it will be difficult for Chongqing to ignore, and it will also cause instability among the people.  It will make the people in the Kuomintang-controlled areas think that the National Government is even more incompetent.  Therefore, Yang Zhen believed that in the early days of the Japanese invasion of Myanmar, Chongqing would never allow the Anti-Japanese Alliance to fight in Myanmar through the hinterland of the Kuomintang-controlled area.

    ¡°But under the pressing situation, especially when the line of life and death is cut off, Chongqing will not be able to care about anything by then.  Especially once the United States and Britain join forces, there is almost no possibility that Chongqing can withstand the pressure.  Once Chongqing's first expeditionary force fails, asking Yan'an to send troops will be a very likely and inevitable choice for Chongqing.

    From the analysis of the character of the British and the importance of the British in various colonies in Asia, Yang Zhen could hardly see that the outcome of the Chongqing expeditionary force's first entry into Myanmar would be different from the period of history he was familiar with.  What a change.  Therefore, Yang Zhen had to consider the consecutive events that this incident would cause and the subsequent impact on himself.

    Although Yang Zhen was never afraid of the Japanese army.  But if the central government really agreed to mobilize the Anti-Resistance League to Southeast Asia, Yang Zhen would be extremely reluctant.  Let¡¯s not talk about the impact of geography and climate on combat.  Just based on what he knew about history, the expeditionary force trapped a half-dead British, an extremely unreliable ally, was enough for Yang Zhen to firmly oppose it.

    The British sent the expeditionary force into Burma to fight, not to protect Burma, nor to ensure the smooth flow of China¡¯s last external channel so as to provide better and more assistance to the Chinese.  Instead, they let the Chinese act as scapegoats for them to buy time for them to protect British India, the most important British colony.

    When the expeditionary force first entered Burma, the British not only failed to cooperate, but also restricted and disrupted everything.  They even openly plundered the supplies of the expeditionary force and shipped them to India for their own use.  Not only were the aid given to China by the Americans plundered, but even the materials imported by the Chinese and hoarded at the ports of Burma were taken away by the British. Everything that could not be taken away was blown up or simply thrown away.  To the Japanese.

    Even if the British treat Chongqing like this, they will probably not treat the Anti-Japanese Alliance any better.  Even if it can't be said to be a secret attempt to cause trouble, it is certain that everything is being constrained.  Even if the British really provided full cooperation, with the poor command level of the British Army, Yang Zhen would not leave his troops under their command.

    The most important thing is what the British call comprehensive cooperation.  According to their national characteristics of caring about their own interests and never caring about the life and death of others, no matter how good they say it, it is basically impossible.  The so-called credibility of the British Empire among the British people can be said to be worthless in Yang Zhen's eyes.

    With such an ally who has different dreams, no one can see the slightest hope of victory.  Not to mention stopping the Japanese offensive, it would be great not to be betrayed by these guys by then.  Let Yang Zhen cooperate with the British to fight, he would rather fight the Japanese army directly with bayonets.

    This is not because Yang Zhen has any prejudice against the British, but the countless historical events that have happened have proven countless times that the British are not reliable at all, let alone a trustworthy ally.  In Yang Zhen's opinion, the British guarantee was less loyal than a dog.

    ¡°Despite what the British are saying now, the British are responsible for all supplies to Southeast Asia for the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  I am afraid that by then, in addition to asking the Chinese to work for them, these arrogant but stingy British people will be very good if they can implement 10% of their previous guarantees.

    It is quite possible that the British are not even rich.  Yang Zhen did not believe 200% of these British people.  Even if the Americans guarantee it, he will not believe any promises made by these British people.  For Yang Zhen, he did not want to repeat the mistakes of the National Government.

    ??And Southeast Asia is almost thousands of miles away from the Northeast, and there is no direct railway line in the middle.  Not only was the entire supply line long, it also passed through areas controlled by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.  Not only is it extremely unreliable, it's even more unsafe.  Huge difference in ammunition caliberUnder such circumstances, how will the logistics be ensured when the Anti-Alliance Forces are dispatched to fight in Southeast Asia?  Especially the most consuming light weapons ammunition, how to ensure it?

    The most important thing is that the three allies are already scheming against each other and sharing different dreams. Coupled with their own involvement, I am afraid that the situation there will become even more chaotic.  Moreover, Chongqing will never let the Communist Party shine in front of its so-called friendly countries, and will definitely send troops into Myanmar at the same time.

    Just like the tragic Chinese Expeditionary Force that I know, Chongqing sent the most elite troops to defend Myanmar, China¡¯s last lifeline.  At that time, how will the Kuomintang and the Communist armies cooperate?  Is there constant internal fighting, or is it united against the outside world?  In Yang Zhen's opinion, the first possibility should be greater.

    The time now is not the period when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, when the Nationalist government was almost crazy hungry for all the armed forces that could be brought to the battlefield, let alone the three or eight years when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated most closely.  I'm afraid that both sides are more wary of each other than they are of fighting together.

    With the messy relations between the three countries and the four parties, coupled with the estrangement between them, if such a battle is not fought, it will actually be lost.  Under such circumstances, it was simply unnecessary for the Anti-Japanese Alliance to send troops to Southeast Asia.  Moreover, Kang Lian, whose body was not strong enough, could not bear such a loss.
