    Seeing General Wavell drink the wine in the glass, Yang Zhen's heart, which had always been hanging, was finally relieved. He had been worried that the British would not be able to achieve their goals and not only terminate the original planned aid to the Anti-Alliance  , and Yang Zhen is not unfamiliar with the usual style of disrupting the negotiations between the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Americans. The British failed to induce them and secretly disrupted the situation.

    The performance of these guys on the battlefield can only be said to be average, but as a veteran capitalist power, they are quite skilled in holding hands. If these guys fail to induce them, they will start secretly. According to the current situation of the United States and Britain, although there are internal  There are disputes, but to the outside world, wearing a pair of underpants will be quite detrimental to oneself.

    At the moment, Yang Zhen doesn't want to, nor does he have much energy to fight for US aid, and then compete with these guys, so whether Admiral Wavell can drink this glass of wine that represents acceptance, he seems to have nothing to do with it on the surface.  I didn¡¯t care, but I was still quite nervous inside.

    After the wine in the glass was drained by Admiral Wavell, Yang Zhen's heart that had been hanging around finally fell to the ground. At least the British would not give themselves too many hindrances in this matter. Of course, once the Japanese army  Yang Zhen was still able to accept the request of the Anti-Japanese Alliance to launch an offensive in Southeast Asia and launch a diversionary offensive in the north.

    And even if the United States and Britain did not bring it up, not counting other reasons, even if it was to show that the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the United States and Britain were working together when fighting Japan, he would take the initiative to bring it up. What's more, there is no  Just to show the sincerity of the Anti-Alliance to the United States and Britain, Yang Zhen had other purposes.

    Because for Yang Zhen, who has already included the strategic attempt to open up the communication line with the customs in his plan for the end of this year and the beginning of next year, one month early or one month late is not too critical, and from now on  From another perspective, it was more advantageous to launch this offensive during the Japanese invasion of Southeast Asia.

    The reasons are very simple. First, they can take advantage of the Japanese army's main focus on Southeast Asia and have no time to pay attention to other things in a short period of time. They can complete their combat plan in the shortest time. Second, after this battle, they are destined to replenish a large amount of troops.  For new recruits to replenish battle losses and expand the Anti-Japanese Alliance, their combat effectiveness will increase by one point for every additional month of training.

    So if the British asked the Anti-Japanese Alliance to launch an offensive against the Kwantung Army or the Japanese army in China during the Japanese invasion of Southeast Asia, Yang Zhen didn't mind too much and agreed to them on this matter. After all, this was also a performance for both the United States and Britain.  It is an attitude of resisting the alliance, otherwise it will be easy for the United States and Britain to find fault.

    What's more, for Yang Zhen, this not only allows him to kill two birds with one stone, but more importantly, if he takes the initiative, he can take the initiative and the right to speak in his own hands, instead of always being like now.  in a fairly passive position.

    Admiral Wavell drank the wine in the glass, and Yang Zhen naturally would not refuse to pay. After drinking the wine in one gulp, Yang Zhen did not intend to drink too much, and did not raise the glass frequently. After that, it was enough.  , now that some things have been said clearly, it is better to drink less wine.

    The American and British officers sitting at Yang Zhen's desk are also senior officers. Except for Stilwell, a major general in the U.S. Army, in addition to two lieutenant generals in the British side, the youngest are also three major generals in the army, with positions and experiences.  No one would be as relaxed and unscrupulous as they were in their own country. Although they didn't drink less wine under Yang Zhen's persuasion, at least they didn't drink too much on the spot.

    At the two-table celebration banquet, apart from Yang Zhen's table who drank more happily but with good control, the table with Chai Shirong as the host and other officers from the US and British military delegation actually drank.  Quite a few, after drinking several bottles of high-strength liquor, almost all the American and British officers were drunk by Chai Shirong and two other escorts.

    It's just that although no one at Yang Zhen's table drank too much, it was the first time he came into contact with high-quality Chinese liquor. He drank two half-cups in a row. He drank with Yang Zhen in the back and drank a whole cup in a daze.  Admiral Wavell, who drinks liquor, is somewhat superior.

    More than a kilogram of high-strength liquor is not a small amount even in the UK, and for Admiral Wavell, who has very strict requirements on his private life, let alone this kind of strong liquor, even for a person who rarely drinks wine in general, this amount is  It was just bigger, but he had been relying on his willpower to suppress it, so he didn't make a fool of himself on the spot.

    After barely holding on until the end of the banquet, the drunken General Wavell couldn't hold it anymore. After hurriedly saying goodbye to Yang Zhen, he hurriedly returned to the room to rest. As for the other American and British officers who were drunk, they were sent by the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  Send them back to their respective rooms.

    ??Looking at the somewhat embarrassed back of General Wavell, because he drank more than General Wavell later.Yang Zhen, who was still feeling uncomfortable after half a glass of liquor, smiled slightly. Compared with Americans, these British people who were more shady were more difficult to solve. Only by completely solving them in this negotiation can the merits be regarded as complete.

    Back in the conference room, Yang Zhen sat down with the equally tipsy Lao Shuai and Li Yanping, drank some tea to relieve their hangover, and talked about some light topics in order to relax themselves. At this point, they were negotiating between the United States and Britain.  Basically, it can be said that it has been decided. The rest depends on whether the United States and Britain can fulfill the agreement with the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

    It was the first time that he had seen him drink so much. Yuan Zhiruo felt very distressed when he took the hot towel handed over to him. After wiping his face, Yang Zhen looked at Li Yanping and the old commander beside him, and said with a wry smile: "  I haven¡¯t drank for a long time. I drank a lot this time and it¡¯s really unbearable.¡±

    Seeing Yang Zhen's bitter smile and somewhat uncomfortable look, he also took a sip of hot tea to warm his stomach and felt better. Li Yanping smiled and said: "Old Yang, the celebration wine today is justifiable. On a day like today,  You should just drink more. Anyway, we can achieve most of our goals this time, and you should take the lead."

    After hearing Li Yanping's comment that he was the first to take credit, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "Political Commissar, your evaluation is too high. I dare not take the first credit for these things being negotiated. If you want to say that this negotiation can be  The first contribution to success, in addition to the correct leadership of the central government, should be our troops.¡±

    "Without their bloody battle and such a great victory on the battlefield, those realistic guys probably wouldn't even look at us." Those front-line cadres and soldiers are the ones who bear the brunt of the biggest contribution. As for me,  , that is, just talking and playing with your own mind. Compared with the soldiers who paid their blood and lives, this little credit is really not worth mentioning. Lao Li, don¡¯t mention this sentence again in the future.  "

    "As for the goal being achieved, Lao Li, although the agreement has been signed, it has not yet been written. We still don't know whether the Americans can implement this agreement 100%, and we also have to treat the United States  People cannot fully fulfill the agreement, so they must be mentally prepared in advance.¡±

    "I'm not too worried about machinery and equipment. The British can't use these things. I've made certain concessions to the Soviets. These two countries won't cause us too much trouble. What I'm most worried about is military raw materials and  In terms of weapons and equipment, whether the Americans can fully implement the agreement, the Soviets, especially the British, will secretly cause trouble."

    After Yang Zhen finished speaking, he didn't know what he was thinking after returning to the conference room. The old commander who had been silent suddenly said: "You are saying that the Americans will definitely not fully implement this agreement.  It¡¯s not possible. It¡¯s been signed in black and white. As a big country, they have to talk about their credibility. Are you worried about other aspects?¡±

    Yang Zhen, who was obviously not convinced by the old commander, smiled bitterly: "Old chief, this is not impossible, but it will definitely happen. Where is the strategic focus of the Americans? They are the Germans in Europe. Regardless of the military industry,  Production capacity, as well as the strength of other services and arms except the navy, Germany is the preferred enemy of the Americans.¡±

    "As for Asia, at least for now, it is not their strategic focus. Otherwise, with the national strength of the Americans, why would they want to win over us? With their strong national strength, even if they strike from behind, the Japanese have no possibility of defeat. The two countries  The difference in overall strength is too great.¡±

    "They are doing this not because they hope that once a war actually breaks out between the United States and Japan, we will be able to contain some of the Japanese forces so that they cannot invest too much force in Southeast Asia and the Pacific. At least until they deal with the Germans, they can keep Australia and Hawaii from being invaded.  Japanese occupation."

    "Of course the Americans also have another idea, that is, they hope that we can eliminate as many Japanese troops as possible on the battlefield to save the precious lives of their American youth. In the eyes of Americans with great wealth and power, materials and equipment are not considered important.  What¡¯s more, their American lives are the most valuable.¡±

    "The British also have this purpose. They also hope that we can disperse the Japanese army and ensure that India is not threatened before they deal with the Germans. Otherwise, once India is occupied by the Japanese army, it will be a disaster for the British."  It¡¯s an extremely bad result.¡±

    "The strategic goal of putting Europe first and then Asia means that the Americans must first come to the European battlefield whether it is materials or equipment. The Germans, who have conquered almost all of Europe and obtained a large number of industrial resources from developed countries in Western Europe, have a war advantage."  The resources are far beyond what the Japanese can compare with."

    ¡°And in Europe, which is the strategic focus of the United States, there are two opponents fighting the Germans.In the war, the UK does have relatively complete and large modern military industry capabilities, but their production capacity is still somewhat insufficient to meet the huge needs of all wars. After all, the production of modern weapons and equipment is an extremely slow process, not the same as in the past few years.  Cannons and a few flintlock rifles can take care of it.  "

    "They do have a sound and relatively strong industrial system, but with their industrial production capabilities, they may still be unable to maintain a huge army with huge consumption during the war. The British Army's poor tactics and the German  The superiority of the military has also made the European battlefields far more brutal and intense than those in Asia."

    "Furthermore, the British are far behind the Americans in terms of the speed of weapon research and development. Under this situation, the British are still very dependent on American equipment, especially army equipment such as cars and tanks. The British  The demand for American equipment is considerable.¡±

    "At the same time, the British maintain a strong navy. The demand for materials such as armored steel for manufacturing tanks and ships is definitely not small. It may even exceed their own production. How much equipment does the British army have now?  , they were bought or exchanged from Americans, I¡¯m afraid the British themselves can¡¯t even count them.¡±
