Chapter 181 Don’t forget the expeditionary soldiers who were killed! (Second update!)

"I'm a teacher?" Father Meng looked at the other party in surprise. He couldn't believe that someone wanted him to be a teacher. This was something he had never seen before.

"What? Is it not possible? If you weren't too old, I would have let you be an engineer, but I think being a teacher is also good." Cun Yunsheng chuckled.

"Does the old man have no confidence?"

"I'm an old man, and provocation is useless to me."

"But what you said is right. It's a good thing. I should use my knowledge to teach and educate people. It's my fault that I didn't educate my son well." Father Meng shook his head and said.

Unexpectedly, Cun Yunsheng denied his opinion.

"Old man, each generation has its own responsibilities. Our generation is to finish the war and let the next generation study hard and build the country."

"Born in troubled times, these books alone cannot save everyone, only guns can be used, but the next generation of children, they need to use knowledge to build the country."

"Our country has suffered too many disasters, but I believe that one day, we will stand on top of the world again."

After hearing Cun Yunsheng's words, Father Meng fell silent. In fact, he also knew that books alone could not save everyone, only guns could.

This is why Meng was tired of being a soldier, but he didn't blame anyone.

Thinking of this, Father Meng sighed.

"Sir, you are right. I agree to your request. I will educate those children well for you and use all my knowledge."

With these words, Cun Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, Father Meng's knowledge was still good.

In their time, it was definitely not easy to study abroad at public expense, especially to study mechanics.

At this time, Meng Fanle also took people to wrap the books with brown paper.

If I hadn't brought so many people with me, I would have been exhausted to death carrying thousands of pounds of books.

No wonder the original author Meng Fanle ended up having another quarrel because of these books.

"Commander, you won't let my father teach, will you?" Meng Fanle asked after he had arranged everything.

"Hey, how did you know that?" Cun Yunsheng asked with a smile.

"Do you still need to guess? That's the only value he has left. You won't keep an idle person." Meng Fanle said with a sneer.

"Haha, then don't I still keep you, a cripple?" Cun Yunsheng joked.

Hearing this, Meng rolled his eyes in annoyance and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"The little bookworm has complained to me more than once that there are too many students and not enough teachers, and asked me to find a way to get some teachers over there." Cun Yunsheng sighed.

"We are a group of roughnecks in the Sichuan Army. You are the only ones who have ever received an education. We can't let you teach and educate people, can we?"

"So after much thought, your father is the most suitable. He studied abroad and majored in mechanics. As long as we can train a few mechanical masters, we can also build our own industrial system."

Hearing this, Meng Fan looked at the other party in surprise.

"Is it the same industrial system as the great powers?"

"Of course, without an industrial system of our own, we will eventually be at the mercy of others," Cun Yunsheng said in a deep voice.

"Okay, let your father have something to do so he doesn't have to cause you any trouble. This is also for your own good."

"Next, we have a lot to do. Li Ula sent me a telegram saying that the Thai army has gathered heavy troops at the border and it seems that they are preparing to retaliate."

"It just so happens that Stilwell's appointment has also come down. Let us continue to attack eastward and force Siam to surrender. In this way, the Japanese army will lose an ally, and the situation in Southeast Asia will also change."

"Send a company to escort your father and his men back. We also need to rush to Lashio, and from there take a plane to Imphal to urge Stilwell. We should have weapons and supplies in place."

"Yes, Commander."

.........

Cun Yunsheng, who had just arrived in Lashio, couldn't help but feel emotional as he looked at the city which was gradually recovering its vitality.

Especially on both sides of the road, houses are being built rapidly and visible to the naked eye.

It is obvious that the pain of war will soon be healed with time.

"Commander, the machines sent by the Germans are all in the warehouse." Li Sifu, who stayed behind, said respectfully when he saw Cun Yunsheng.

"It seems that these Germans are quite trustworthy." Cun Yunsheng did not expect that the machinery and equipment would be delivered in just over ten days.

I have to say that the Germans are still very trustworthy in this regard.

With these mechanical equipment, civilian factories can be opened.

Once the refugees have a job, their anxious hearts will be settled.

Everything is moving in a prosperous direction.

Cun Yunsheng was still very happy in his heart. Although his current strength was still very weak, he believed that it would not be long before everyone would look at him with admiration.

"What a pity, there are still too few hydroelectric generators." Looking at the two hydroelectric generators on the list, Cun Yunsheng said with some regret.

You know, the most abundant resource here is water resources, and it would be a shame if we don’t make use of them.

However, this thing is indeed inconvenient to transport, and the Suez Canal is also occupied by the British army, so it is impossible for the German army to transport large machinery.

So his current list is mainly civilian equipment, but he believes that he will be able to break through soon.

"Commander, let's take it step by step. At least we are very strong now." Meng Fanle comforted.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng sighed inwardly but didn't say anything.

Only he knew that if they could not expand their advantage this season, they would have to pay a greater price if they wanted to rise again.

After that, Cun Yunsheng made some simple arrangements and flew to Imphal on a transport plane without stopping.

Imphal was busier than ever at this time. As the Japanese army advanced westward like crazy, air transportation here became even busier.

Hundreds of soldiers were being brought to Imphal every day and reorganized.

The strength of the New First Army continued to increase, heading towards 20,000 men.

At the same time, a large amount of American equipment was transported to the mountain city via air routes.

"Congratulations, Cun, you have destroyed two more regiments." As soon as they met, Stilwell looked at Cun Yunsheng with a smile.

"This is the Medal of Merit that I applied for you." As he said this, Stilwell personally put it on Cun Yunsheng.

Looking at the medal on his chest, Cun Yunsheng curled his lips inwardly.

It would be better to give a hundred thousand dollars.

But I still have to put on a happy expression on my face.

"Thank you, General Stilwell. You share half of this honor." Cun Yunsheng flattered him casually, making Stilwell very happy.

"Hahahaha, thanks to you, I also have a medal."

"General Stilwell, this is the combat experience of mountain warfare that I summarized." Cun Yunsheng knew that what Stilwell really cared about was this combat experience, and everything else was fake. So he did not hesitate and took the initiative to hand over this combat experience.

Sure enough, after receiving the report, Stilwell's smile grew even wider.

"Cun, you are indeed an excellent commander."

Cun Yunsheng pretended not to hear Stilwell's praise and instead talked about things he was concerned about.

"General Stilwell, now that all the Japanese troops in northern Burma have been eliminated, is the next mission of the Sichuan Army to attack eastwards, or to completely destroy the Japanese troops in the south?"

Although this had been discussed before, Cun Yunsheng still asked again because he was afraid that Stilwell would go back on his word.

"As for the south, I'm afraid it's not possible for the time being. Admiral Wavell has not given in. He still firmly disagrees with you going south." During this period, Stilwell also found Admiral Wavell, but the other party did not agree to let the Sichuan Army take it.

Even though the British army is now in a state of panic and has a lot of troubles, they are unwilling to let the Sichuan Army move south.

So there was no choice but for Stilwell to settle for the next best thing and decide to let the Sichuan Army continue to advance eastward.

Execute the previously developed battle plan.

"This is the appointment letter. You will be the commander of the task force directly under the Allied Command. You will be fully responsible for the war in the east. Your only goal is to force Siam to surrender." Stilwell handed the appointment letter that had been prepared long ago to Cun Yunsheng.

Looking at the seal of the Allied Command in his hand, Cun Yunsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. With it, everything that happened next would become legitimate.

"What about the colonies of Vichy France? Are they also within the range of the attack?" Cun Yunsheng hesitated and asked again.

"If they choose to leave Vichy France, they can be allowed to surrender, otherwise they will also be our enemies." Stilwell thought for a while and said.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng showed a smile on his face.

"General Stilwell, I think it is entirely possible to allow the colonies of Vichy France to become independent."

"Huh?" Stilwell was stunned and asked in confusion.

"General Stilwell, the war will eventually end, and America, with the most powerful industrial force in the world, will surely be the final winner."

"As mentioned before, America can definitely become the overlord of the New World, and the colonial system of the Old World should completely collapse."

"In the new world, this colonial approach will only disgust more people." Cun Yunsheng's deception made Stilwell's eyes light up.

Last time, he summarized Cun Yunsheng's remarks and sent them back to the White House.

The White House's response was surprisingly consistent, which made him focus on Cun Yunsheng.

At the same time, more support can be provided.

To put it bluntly, those people in the White House also became interested in Cun Yunsheng's statement.

After all, who doesn’t want to be the world’s hegemon?

Otherwise, as Cun Yunsheng said, after the war is over, nothing is gained, so what is the point of them joining this war?
Is it going to be the same as the last war, where after the war is over, nothing will have anything to do with them?

"Your suggestion is good. We really need to give freedom back to the people of the colonies."

"Then I'll leave all of this to you for now. I'll give you greater support."

"When you arrived, there were already ten transport planes carrying a large amount of weapons flying to Lashio. We will not be stingy with our friends," Stilwell said with a smile.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng showed an excited expression on his face.

In fact, I felt a little disdainful inside.

How many weapons can there be for ten transport planes?
Three groups?
Enough for what?
However, he still had to pretend to be touched on the surface, after all, he had to continue hugging the thigh in front of him.

"General Stilwell, why didn't you see Admiral Wavell?" Cun Yunsheng pretended to be ignorant.

Hearing this, Stilwell sighed and then said helplessly.

"The Japanese army suddenly moved westward, disrupting the British army's deployment. Now Admiral Wavell has gone to the rear to supervise the battle."

"In order to help the British army to deal with this Japanese army as soon as possible, I have decided to dispatch the New First Army to provide support."

The new First Army has been supplemented to about 20,000 people, and after being equipped with American weapons, its combat effectiveness has been continuously improved.

In addition, Admiral Wavell requested reinforcements several times, so Stilwell had no choice but to transfer half of the New First Army to the west to reinforce the British Army.

With the attack from both sides, I believe we will be able to completely annihilate the Japanese army soon.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng narrowed his eyes, as if he thought of something, and then complimented again.

"General Stilwell is wise. I believe that under your leadership, the Allied forces will eventually win."

Although he knew it was flattery, Stilwell still looked happy.

After further discussion, Cun Yunsheng left the headquarters.

"Commander, should we go back directly by plane?" Meng Fanle asked Cun Yunsheng.

"No, let's go to the headquarters of the newly formed 38th Division. I want to talk to Sun Liren." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and looked out the window.

"Looking for him?" Meng Fan was stunned and asked in confusion.

"There are some things that need to be discussed with him." Cun Yunsheng asked a riddle, which made Meng Fan curious.

But he also knew that there were some things he shouldn't know and shouldn't ask.

When he arrived at the headquarters of the newly formed 38th Division, Cun Yunsheng met Sun Liren smoothly.

There's nothing we can do about it, since Cun Yunsheng is so famous now.

It can be said that Cun Yunsheng was even crowned as the most capable commander in the expeditionary force.

No matter how much water there is in this, at least the Sichuan Army won all the battles they fought.

Therefore, when he saw Cun Yunsheng, Sun Liren appeared very polite.

"General Sun." As soon as Cun Yunsheng opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Sun Liren.

"Don't call me General Sun. I am a few years older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Sun or Brother Fumin. It's all fine."

"Being called General Sun in front of you feels like an embarrassment to me."

Seeing this, Cun Yunsheng didn't act pretentiously and spoke directly.

"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Sun. I heard from General Stilwell that you are going to be transferred to the Western Front to support the British Army?"

"Yes." Sun Liren was not surprised that the other party knew this. After all, everyone knew that Cun Yunsheng was Stilwell's favorite.

"The defense line established by the British army barely blocked the attack of the Japanese army, but those vassal troops attacked everywhere, making the British army miserable. So General Stilwell ordered the New First Army to move westward immediately to support the British army and strive to completely annihilate the Japanese army." When he said the latter, Sun Liren's eyes flashed with a hint of fighting spirit.

"Brother Sun, I suggest that you fight passively, which is best." Cun Yunsheng said meaningfully.

"Why?" Sun Liren frowned and asked in confusion.

"Don't forget those brothers of the Expeditionary Force who were killed by the British Army. To put it bluntly, this is a battle between the British and Japanese armies. There is no need for us to put in too much effort." After saying this, Cun Yunsheng pointed at the Expeditionary Force soldiers who were killed by the British Army.
