Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Faced with Yang Zhen's rejection, Pearson was unwilling to continue his desperate persuasion: "You have to understand that with the current limited defense power of the Dutch East Indies, if the British abandon Malaya, there will be no way.  Although the U.S. government has tried to strengthen the defense of the Dutch East Indies, the small number of Dutch troops there is no match for the Japanese army as you said. "

    "If we want to defend the Dutch East Indies and prevent the Japanese from obtaining the resources they desperately need, we must defend Malaya. But again, what we lack most at the moment is enough defensive troops. This is also what the British  The reason for being so generous even under difficult circumstances.¡±

    "Yang, the war situation in Southeast Asia is a whole, not scattered in various places. If we follow the current defensive strength of British Southeast Asia and the Dutch East Indies, we simply cannot defend these places. If we are asked to give up voluntarily, then the US government originally  Why impose sanctions on Japan and export oil directly to them? Isn¡¯t it possible to obtain a certain amount of funds and avoid unpleasant things with a modern powerful country?¡±

    "As for Chongqing, to be honest, I don't have high hopes for them. Although, perhaps for their own reasons, they have expressed a high interest in assisting in the defense of Southeast Asia and stated that they will send the best troops if the British need it.  Elite troops help defend Myanmar.¡±

    "But with their most elite troops currently fighting the Japanese in Hunan and Hubei, as well as in Henan and Shaanxi to defend their final areas of control, it is very difficult to see how much combat effectiveness the troops they can send will have.  It was doubtful, so the British did not put their hope in them.¡±

    "Although the person in Chongqing agreed to send troops to Burma when necessary, he was really open-minded about the prerequisites for sending troops. Some of the conditions he offered were unbearable for the United States, including a large dollar loan and dozens of dollars.  No other country would agree to these conditions, which in the eyes of the United States, can be called blackmail.¡±

    "Since according to the U.S. plan, the assistance you will receive in the future will be greater than that from Chongqing, the U.S. also believes that you have an obligation to assist the allies and cut off the most urgently needed oil sources for the Japanese, at least to deal with the Japanese and weaken their war.  In terms of potential, we are still one, right?"

    Regarding the British doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Chongqing army, Yang Zhen laughed it off. In Yang Zhen's view, the Chongqing army, no matter how bad its combat effectiveness is, is much stronger than the so-called British Empire Army. The British Army is actually  The combat effectiveness on the battlefield is just that.

    Not to mention compared with the Anti-Japanese Alliance trained by themselves, even compared with the National Army, it is only second-rate at best. If the British are allowed to use the equipment of the National Army to fight the Japanese army, let alone Nanjing and Wuhan, I am afraid that now  The Japanese menstrual flag is flying over Chongqing.

    The British Army, apart from being blind and arrogant, has almost no real skills. They are only suitable in North Africa to bully the Italians who are more ambitious but more incompetent than them. If they change the army of any country, as long as they are not mentally retarded  Even if you are mentally retarded, you can beat them to pieces, not to mention such a tough opponent as the Japanese.

    They are not worried about the combat effectiveness of the Chongqing army. What they are worried about is that the Chinese will take this opportunity to intervene in Burma, a British colony, and India, which they call the most gorgeous jewel in the Queen's crown, and use certain opportunities to intervene in other countries.  They create territorial disputes within the country and try every means to seize it. Isn¡¯t this what the British did in their hundreds of years of colonial history?

    They are now worried about the Chinese. They want to give them a way to return the favor. Once the Chinese stay in Myanmar and refuse to leave, Myanmar will probably fall into the hands of the Chinese due to insufficient military strength.  Once Myanmar is lost, Britain's most precious colony, India, will also be in danger.

    You know, Myanmar is connected with China's Yunnan mountains and rivers. The Chinese are backed by their own rear and have no need for any supplies from the British. The British have no choice but to give up the North African battlefield and move  The most elite troops currently concentrated in North Africa were mobilized to put pressure on the Chinese army.

    What the British value about the Anti-Alliance is not only the combat effectiveness currently displayed by the Anti-Alliance forces, but the most important thing is that once the Anti-Alliance joins the battlefield in Southeast Asia, whether it is British Malaya or British Burma, they will be thousands of miles away from their rear areas.  In addition, although Myanmar is backed by China, Chongqing will never give it any supplies due to China's internal party strife.

    Once the Anti-Japanese Alliance joins the war, all supplies can only be provided by the United States and Britain. In other words, the Anti-Union troops going south can only rely on the British to survive and fight. Without the supplies of the British, the Anti-Japanese Alliance will not even have food.They may not be able to eat, so they are sure to control the Anti-Japanese Alliance and not give the Chinese a chance to interfere in their colonies.

    If the Anti-Japanese Alliance stays in Burma after the war, or makes some small moves during the war, privately agitating for the independence of Burma and Malaya, as long as the United States and Britain cut off their logistical supplies, they will not even have food.  Without food, the Resistance Alliance, which could only rely on the British to survive, had no power at all to fight against the British Indian army.

    As for whether the Americans will side with the British in this situation, they are quite confident. Everyone is white. Although the American colonies are far less large than the British, they also have their own colonies in the Far East.  The Philippines, if the British colony was unstable, then the Americans' Philippines would not be any better.

    At the same time, on the European battlefield, Americans who are thousands of miles away from the battlefield also rely on the British to cooperate with them. Therefore, the British are still quite sure whether the Americans will be on their side. The British have their own wishful thinking.  It was very sophisticated. It not only asked the Chinese to send troops to protect their colonies, but also put a lot of effort into guarding against Chinese interference.

    It's a pity that no matter how good the abacus is, it will be of no use if Yang Zhen doesn't fall for their fool. As for the British's little thinking, Yang Zhen can guess it without thinking carefully. Otherwise, the controlled area and Myanmar  Chongqing, which is connected by mountains and rivers, would be a better target.

    This suggestion put forward by the British is just like the large number of small landowners in rural China. They are not only calculating the cost carefully, fearing that the Chinese will take advantage of them, but also asking the Chinese to work for them for free as much as possible.  Lei Feng, it's a pity that Yang Zhen will not be mean to the United States and Britain for a little help.

    Moreover, Yang Zhen was even more worried that the British efforts to win over themselves might not only be based on their superficial willingness. They might also use the Anti-Alliance to exert pressure on Chongqing in order to obtain more information in Tibet or other aspects.  Among the big interests, the main one is territory.

    The British not only have many territorial disputes with their so-called Burma colony, but also with China's Yunnan. They have also been peeping at Tibet for a long time. Of course, these territorial disputes are caused by the British's good appetite for colonies.  In Tibet, they also adopted a step-by-step approach, annexing Tibetan territory bit by bit.

    And they continue to use small favors to win over the Tibetan local government to break away from China and join the so-called British India. Of course, the banner they are flying now is to help the Communist Party, but once Tibet truly becomes independent from China, they will reveal their hidden secrets.  The long-standing fangs and bloody mouth swallowed up Tibet, which had no ability to fight against them. By annexing Tibet, they obtained a commanding height to peer into the entire interior of China and a starting point for the attack.

    As for the little tricks the British made behind the back of the Chinese on the Asian battlefield of World War II, Yang Zhen naturally knew very well that the British, when they had no time to take care of themselves, still wanted to attack their allies in Tibet and Burma, and borrowed the help of China  In times of embarrassment, it is a common tactic used by the British to put pressure on China to achieve their own goals on territorial issues.

    And Yang Zhen is even more aware that in this matter, once it involves a struggle between political parties, Chongqing is very likely to compromise, just like a few years later, on the issue of Vietnam and Hong Kong, if he really wants to  With so little equipment, if you agree to the British's request, you may even become the sinner of the entire nation.

    Not only can he not become the scapegoat of the British because of a small profit, but he cannot become a chess piece of the British and a means of pressure to encroach on his own territory. Yang Zhen is still very clear about this, let alone  The British gave them so little equipment. No matter whether the British's true purpose was what they expected, they could never agree to it.

    But for Yang Zhen, it is better to speak out some words in front of this Pearson. As for the lawsuit, as long as he has done the Americans' job well, it is better to let the Americans fight with them.  Go ahead and fight, that's all the British do, make your words clear, express your attitude, and just ignore them.

    After thinking about the words, Yang Zhen said: "Pearson, in your eyes, Chongqing's army may lack combat effectiveness, as well as problems of this and that, but although we may become opponents in the future, after all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, it's not that we don't have it.  Tolerance means that people look down on us and treat us mercilessly. "

    "Whether it is us or them, the guarantees we are making now can only be made under the condition of fighting Japan. As for what kind of situation will happen after the war, none of us know. Judging from their attitude towards us,  Look, the possibility of a big fight is very high.¡±

    "But there is one thing??, Pearson, I can responsibly tell you that political opinions may differ, but one thing is the same between us, that is, the determination to fight against Japan is the same, to completely expel the Japanese pirates who occupy our land from China.  The beliefs of the earth are all the same.  "

    "This army does have some problems of one kind or another, and there are also quite a few problems in training. There are also some problems such as cooperation in combat, there are many internal factions, and the situation of mutual strife is quite serious, but they do not lack the skills that a soldier should have.  A passion for serving the country.¡±

    "In the face of powerful enemies dozens of times stronger than themselves, most of them have no fear, let alone the slightest hesitation. They are still indomitable fighters with poor equipment. Pearson, you know that since ancient times,  In all wars so far, victory or defeat has never been determined by the number of troops. "

    "What kind of an army will it face when it faces a powerful enemy armed to the teeth with modern industry, let alone the level of World War I? Even the equipment level of your army during the battle with Spain is far from the level you met during the war with Spain.  The result is very clear to you."
