    It¡¯s just that Yang Zhen will not tell all these truths. The negotiation table is like a battlefield. Only the truth and the false can confuse your opponent. If you tell the truth, I am afraid that you will lose like on the battlefield without knowing how. He  It is impossible to expose all your trump cards to your opponent at once without any hidden secrets.

    However, he did not exaggerate too much. He only slightly expanded the crisis in some aspects. Although this was a bit much, it was not too much. After all, he wanted to win assistance, and some things could be added.  Moisture, but when there is a stir stick, adding too much moisture can easily backfire.

    Moreover, no one can guarantee when those battle-damaged tanks and tanks that cannot participate in the war for a short period of time due to malfunctions will be repaired. If those tanks are not repaired in a day, they cannot be considered complete equipment and cannot be listed on the troop equipment strength list.  , cannot be counted into the combat structure, so what he said can barely be regarded as a limited amount of water added.

    That's right, Yang Zhen didn't say anything to the American Major General Stilwell on the surface, but he always called him a troublemaker in his heart. He would serve as the chief of staff of the Chinese theater in a few months and be fully responsible for American aid.  He hates the American major general who distributes supplies to China almost more than he hates the British. If it is not necessary, he is not willing to say a word to this guy.

    Yuan Zhiruo's English level is very high, and her Chinese level is not comparable to that of the British translator who speaks Cantonese. She is extremely accurate, and can even translate Yang Zhen's words completely and clearly without missing a word.  It was given to the entire British delegation, and it was so accurate that even Pearson secretly gave him a thumbs up when no one was paying attention.

    After listening to Yang Zhen's words, except for General Wavell, who seemed very silent, and Major General Slim, the chief of staff of the British and Burmese forces, all the British generals present shook their heads and seemed very disapproving.  Some people couldn't help but let out a scornful laugh. It was obvious that 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, Yang Zhen shook his head after giving Yuan Zhiruo, who served as the translator, an appreciative look. For these Western officers, they faced the Japanese army and even the entire yellow race.  Looking down on it, Yang Zhen didn¡¯t want to say anything.

    The British people's disdain for the Eastern Army, which emanates from their bones, cannot be changed in a short while, nor can it be changed by one or two things, especially now that the afterglow of the British Empire is still there, and the national power behind them is still considerable.  The wealth made these British officers even more proud and arrogant.

    These British officers believed that although they were defeated on the European battlefield and were driven out of the European continent by the German army, their British Empire still had an absolute advantage when facing the Asian army. This kind of arrogance of the British  I'm afraid it's difficult to completely change your perspective without suffering a few big losses.

    As an "ally", I have been reminded of those who need to be reminded and warned of those who need to be warned. It can be said that I have fulfilled my obligations as an "ally". For this group of blind, arrogant and arrogant British people who look down on anyone except white people.  Officers, it's better to go to the battlefield and let the Japanese samurai swords, cannons, and zero warfare teach them a lesson.

    It is a pity that these arrogant British officers will change their view of underestimating the enemy after they really suffered a few more big losses on the battlefield and were beaten half of their teeth by the fierce Japanese army.  Yes, even if Cromwell, their protector of the country, is reborn by then, it may be difficult to restore the situation of the war.

    However, compared to the other British generals who did not listen to Yang Zhen's last words of persuasion, General Wavell and the current Chief of Staff of the British and Burmese Army, Major General Slim, the serious expressions of the two people were surprising.  Yang Zhen frowned without any trace.

    It was obvious that others did not take his words seriously, but these two people listened, and listened very carefully. Moreover, Yang Zhen also noticed that when he was telling the story of the battle, all the heroes present listened.  Among the military generals, they were the only two who listened the most carefully and read the map most carefully.

    Especially Major General Slim. Ever since Yang Zhen started explaining the battle, he has been recording something in his notebook. Moreover, after Yang Zhen issued that warning, Major General Slim's brows were gone.  He didn't let go and didn't look away from the battle map. Compared to the other British generals who were laughing and talking in low voices, he was still deep in thought.

    Looking at the veteran who looked extremely serious after hearing his last warning and didn't know what he was thinking, and Major General Slim who knitted his brows and was deep in thought, Yang Zhen couldn't help but feel something in his heart.  Keep asking yourself if this warning is too much.

    In fact, Yang?It is very clear that in the Southeast Asian battlefield early next year, the worse the United States and Britain lose and the more places they lose, the more in the interests of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. If the United Kingdom can withstand the Japanese offensive and defend Burma and even Malaya,  and Singapore, then it will have an extremely negative impact on the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

    In Yang Zhen's heart, he has always believed that it would be in China's best interest if the British lost even India. Even if the loss of the last channel to the sea may cause temporary adverse effects, it is still the same.  Only when the Chinese are needed more, whether against the Alliance or against Chongqing, will more blood be shed.

    If the British should follow their own warning and increase their troops in Southeast Asia at all costs, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Anti-Japanese Alliance and China, because if the Americans think that the Chinese have no use value, they are nothing.  It won't be pulled out.

    Major General Slim is currently only the Chief of Staff of the British-Burmese Army, and is still far away from the decision-making level of the British Army in the Far East. Present here is his direct superior, the Commander-in-Chief of the British-Burmese Army, and Lieutenant General Hutton,  It was obvious that he was somewhat dismissive of Yang Zhen's warning. No matter what kind of vigilance he had, it would not affect the decision-making of the upper management.

    But the situation is different with General Wavell, who is about to take over as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in the Far East, in terms of influence and decision-making power. Although this man has a very bad relationship with the British Prime Minister, that  A prime minister can still listen to what this man says.

    If the British admiral really listened to his advice, he would adjust his deployment after returning, mobilize more elite troops from the mainland and the North African battlefield to Southeast Asia, and significantly increase the navy and air force in the Far East and the Indian Ocean, and strengthen it at all costs.  The defense of Southeast Asia was to slow down or even withstand the Japanese offensive.

    Then it is definitely not a good thing for the future development of ourselves and the Anti-Japanese Alliance. If the British army alone can withstand the Japanese army's three attacks, because the battle line is too long and there is not much follow-up combat capability, then  I'm afraid no big shot, be it Americans or British, would support the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

    Once this situation occurs, all their painstaking planning and management will be in vain. For real Americans and British people, once they have a solution or think they can do it, then  You will never pay even a penny extra.

    However, Yang Zhen's worry only lasted for a short moment, and then he put aside this worry, because he knew that the British wanted to significantly increase the military strength in Southeast Asia under the current situation.  Unless they are willing to take the risk of weakening the strength of the British army in the fierce fighting in North Africa and changing their overall strategy on the European battlefield, they can only be powerless.

    It is basically impossible for the British to do this. Europe is the root of the British, and the North African battlefield is an important part of the entire European battlefield. Although the North African battlefield is not on the European continent, it covers the entire Europe.  The flanks of the battlefield are also directly facing the weakest and softest belly of the Germans in all spheres of influence in Europe.

    Losing North Africa not only means that the entire African continent has opened its door to Germany, but the Soviets on the eastern front will also face the German army rushing over from West Asia. What is even more serious is that once the Italian navy controls the entire Mediterranean and  The Suez Canal will cut off the British's shortest bridge and link between Eurasia.

    At that time, the British, who can only go around the Cape of Good Hope, will have no time to take care of the two major war zones in Europe and Asia. If reinforcements are needed in Asia, the British, whose communication lines have suddenly been stretched by tens of thousands of kilometers, will have to wait for their reinforcements to arrive.  The day lilies are already cold.

    By preserving North Africa, the British can take advantage of the opportunity when the main force of the German army is still trapped in the Soviet-German battlefield to attack Italy and gain a foothold to re-enter the European continent. Although Italy is somewhat far away from the core of Germany, it can still be considered a counterattack after all.  of continental Europe.

    With these points in mind, no matter from the perspective of the overall strategic situation or their own needs, the British, who have basically abandoned the European continent and lost all their footholds, cannot give up North Africa under any circumstances, at least in terms of  For quite a long time, their entire strategic focus will be on the North African battlefield.

    Not to mention that the Americans have not yet started any mobilization, and the army has not expanded in any way. Even if they have already started mobilizing, I am afraid it will have to wait until the end of next year before the Americans can train enough soldiers to be put into the battlefield. In other words,  The Americans will not be able to provide the British with much assistance in terms of military strength until the end of next year.

    The British themselves do not have a sufficient number of land forces to support both sides at the same time while ensuring homeland defense.On the battlefield, as for their colonial armies in Southeast Asia, they are still third-rate armies no matter how they are expanded. With this premise, my worries are completely unnecessary now, and somewhat unfounded.

    Without this worry, Yang Zhen's mood became relatively relaxed in an instant. As for the ending of the British generals here who will actually face the Japanese army in a few months, then  It's not something he should or can worry about. Even if these guys spend the rest of the war in Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, they have nothing to do with him.

    Just looking at these British generals who didn't care about his warning, Yang Zhen just felt a little regretful that in a few months, he would almost certainly appear on the battlefield in Myanmar and be disturbed by these bastards in front of him and this guy in front of him.  Stick, the Chinese expeditionary force destined to be killed.

    Compared with Yang Zhen, who had so many thoughts in a short period of time, Admiral Wavell, who got the answer he wanted, fell silent. As for his attach¨¦s, after listening to Yang Zhen's warning, they were still  The following people are discussing in a low voice the combat effectiveness of the Japanese and what the real situation is like.
