Chapter 218 A Surprise for Si La Si La! (Second Update!)
Looking at Stilwell lost in thought, Cun Yunsheng knew that his goal should have been achieved.
I can only say that American political intrigue was still too immature at that time.
If it were him, he would definitely allow the British Empire to surrender.
Do you think the other party dares to surrender?
If we really surrender, will Fatty Qiu come up instead?
Can't we replace it with someone else?
Therefore, the British Empire would never surrender even if beaten to death.
If we win, we may still be able to maintain our dominant position.
If you lose, then you really have nothing.
"Do you mean to ignore the British troops in India?" Stilwell asked puzzledly.
"No, no, no, the British Empire is our important ally, so of course we have to take care of it." Cun Yunsheng would not fall into this trap.
If I sell it to him right away, wouldn't I be cheated?
So he won't be fooled.
"Yes, this is also the intention of the White House. Let us send troops westward. These days I have been hesitating whether to send the New 1st Army or your Sichuan Army Corps." Stilwell sighed, then looked at Cun Yunsheng.
"What do you think?"
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng said without hesitation.
"I would like to go."
This time Stilwell couldn't do anything about it, as he originally thought that the other party would be unwilling to go.
Considering his relationship with General Wavell, the Sichuan Army is now in a state of being difficult to control.
The other party was definitely not happy, but who knew that Cun Yunsheng's decisive answer would leave him stunned.
For a moment, he was a little conflicted, not knowing whether he should send the other party to India.
"General Stilwell, what are you hesitating about?" Cun Yunsheng asked puzzledly.
"We are allies. Even if I have a conflict with Admiral Wavell, it is a military disagreement. When it comes to strategy, I will absolutely obey orders."
I have to say, these words are really beautiful.
For at least a moment, Stilwell seemed dazed.
Did I really wrongly accuse Cun Yunsheng?
After thinking for a long time, Stilwell shook his head and said.
"The Sichuan Army's current mission is very heavy. The Southeast Asian theater needs you. When you return, immediately capture Siam and force the French army to surrender. If they don't surrender, you are allowed to deal with them."
This time the French Navy’s participation in the attack exposed the British Army and made it clear that they wanted to retaliate against the French Army.
So Stilwell couldn't protect the other side and could only try to force them to surrender.
If all else fails, we can only eliminate it completely.
After all, he had to consider the ideas of the British Empire.
"Yes." Cun Yunsheng didn't expect such a surprise. It was indeed beyond his expectations.
to be frank.
It’s not impossible to go to India if you really want to.
The resources there are more abundant and there is great potential for development.
You can even send someone to Persia to maintain relations.
The situation will become more interesting then.
The more chaotic it is, the better it is for him.
No matter how many foreigners die, what does it have to do with him?
In war, there will always be casualties.
He cannot share the same joys and sorrows as humans, nor can he empathize with them.
After that, Stilwell had no mood to talk more with Cun Yunsheng.
The main reason is what Cun Yunsheng said, if the British Empire is gone, wouldn’t it be better for America to take over those allies?
He thought he could write a plan and submit it to the White House, and let them make a judgment.
If you want to become the new world hegemon, you cannot avoid the Commonwealth.
Rather than waiting for the war to end, it is better to expand one's influence during the war.
After leaving the Allied Headquarters, Cun Yunsheng went straight to the headquarters of the New First Army.
This meeting with Stilwell, in addition to expressing the attitude, was also to set a trap for Stilwell.
It's a delicious piece of cake in the front, but there's a pit in the middle.
I just don't know if Stilwell will jump.
But judging from his attitude just now, it was obvious that he could jump.
Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng sneered.
"This is not so delicious, and the British Empire is not powerless to fight back."
When they arrived at the New First Army’s base, they saw Zheng Dongguo and three others who had been waiting there for a long time.
"Greetings, three commanders." Cun Yunsheng saluted with a smile.
"Captain Cun, you are too polite." Zheng Dongguo smiled and signaled him not to be so polite.
After all, Colonel Cun Yunsheng is different.
If it weren’t for the unknown brand, I would probably be able to compete with them now.
With this ability, most people would feel ashamed of themselves.
Therefore, they did not dare to treat the other party as an ordinary colonel.
"Brother Yunsheng, I believe you are aware of the content of the telegram. Our New First Army will soon be ordered to march westward. Do you have any advice?" Zheng Dongguo asked first without waiting for the other two to speak.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng nodded, then looked at the three people in front of him, thought for a while and asked back.
"What are your plans?"
"Can you at least let me know your attitude?"
Zheng Dongguo was not surprised by this and repeated his previous explanation.
After listening to his words, Cun Yunsheng thought for a while and then gave his own opinion.
"I just talked to Stilwell. In his eyes, the British army is more important than us. Even if we can deal with the Japanese army in Southeast Asia in advance, it will be useless. They must consider the interests of the British Empire."
These words made Zheng Dongguo and others look unhappy.
Unexpectedly, they were nothing in the eyes of the Allies.
"So, you mean we should continue to lag behind?" Zheng Dongguo immediately understood what the other party meant and asked.
"No, we can't fall behind this time. On the contrary, we still have to show certain strength." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.
"Do you have a map?"
Hearing this, Zheng Dongguo signaled his subordinates to bring the map immediately.
Cun Yunsheng took out a pen and started drawing.
"I suggest that we use these places as strongholds and advance step by step. Don't rush for success. As for Stilwell's urging, just ignore it. He can only rely on us now. You can use this opportunity to ask for more equipment." Cun Yunsheng felt that he needed to brainwash this group of people.
Let them not be timid when they see foreigners, and do not inherently feel that they are inferior.
Hearing this, Zheng Dongguo and others looked at each other.
It is impossible for them to do such a thing with their thick skin.
"Stilwell, the chief of staff of the Southeast Asia Theater, can only command us, right? Apart from us, can he command a squad of British troops?"
"So, just be brave and ask for what you need. Don't be afraid. Ask for what you need, whether it's tanks, planes, or artillery."
"You don't know how much power Stilwell holds. The resources he can control are frightening." Cun Yunsheng looked as if he was disappointed in his friend.
Although there are consultants sent by the US military to monitor the use of supplies.
But there are always more solutions than problems. As long as you are willing to use your brain, what does it matter if you reimburse a little more supplies?
How many consultants are there?
Try to bribe them first. If you can’t bribe them, just solve the problem directly.
On the battlefield, there will always be a few people dying.
Even for US military advisers, there will be surprises.
Sure enough, after hearing Cun Yunsheng's words, expressions of shock appeared on their faces.
Can you still play like this?
Aren’t you afraid that the US military will get angry?
"Allied pilots died every day on the Hump Route. What's the big deal about a few American deaths?"
"You are still too timid. The timid ones will die of starvation, and the brave ones will die of gluttony."
"So what if I'm an advisor? It's not like I can get a life-or-death certificate."
"Remember, as long as we are brave, the Allies are our ATMs."
Cun Yunsheng's words really shocked them. It turned out that this was possible.
No wonder the Sichuan Army has developed so well.
I have to say that Zheng Dongguo and the other two did learn a lesson today.
"Then why is it such an area?" Zheng Dongguo didn't quite understand what Cun Yunsheng meant by the area he drew.
"We can attack or defend here, and we have the advantage of terrain."
"More importantly, this place used to be our territory, and the natives here still yearn for us. We will have certain advantages here." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.
If Stilwell had allowed the Sichuan Army to advance westward into India, he would have certainly occupied these places first, and then taken advantage of the indigenous people and advanced steadily.
Since he was not allowed to advance westward, this plan would naturally be given to the New First Army.
I believe that with his guidance, the blackened New First Army may achieve even more terrifying results.
After listening to Cun Yunsheng's words, Zheng Dongguo couldn't help but admire him. This guy really thinks long-term.
They had indeed not expected that even the advantages of the masses were taken into consideration.
"Will Stilwell really agree to our conditions?" Liao Yaoxiang asked somewhat unconfidently.
"Don't worry, he will definitely agree to any of your requests." Cun Yunsheng said very affirmatively.
As mentioned earlier, the only troops Stilwell could rely on were the Indian Army and the Sichuan Army.
Therefore, any request made by the New First Army will be agreed to.
As expected, when the New First Army asked for various supplies, Stilwell did not refuse, but actively sent them supplies.
It was because of this that Zheng Dongguo and others began to turn evil, or to say, they embarked on a different path.
After resolving the doubts of Zheng Dongguo and others, Cun Yunsheng saw an acquaintance on his way back to the airport.
Master Mai!
McLuhan, Arthur.
In the original novel, this person was called Master Mai by the cannon fodder group.
He is also the most understanding person in the cannon fodder group!
He understood Long Wenjian's good intentions and knew that he was the commander who cared most about the "cannon fodder".
He understood that Tang Ji's personal interests were above the honor of the country and victory in the war, and personal interests were eternal.
He understood the political intentions of his superiors. The outcome of the war had become a bargaining chip. He was unwilling to watch the "cannon fodder" fight a battle to his death. Even if he won the battle, it would still be a lost battle.
Master Mai's purpose of coming to the Sichuan Army Corps was very simple, just to get the money and leave. He had the right to directly contact the US military to mobilize supplies. Master Mai, who had just arrived at the Sichuan Army Corps, did not like it there and was a little disgusted with the cannon fodder there.
What he really disliked were the thousand tombs on the Nantianmen Gate.
Later, as I got to know them more deeply, I was more moved by the cannon fodder group.
He eventually died at Nantianmen.
Cun Yunsheng still has a good impression of this gunsmith.
He didn't expect to see the other person here, which really surprised him.
"Major Tom, who is he?" Cun Yunsheng pretended that he didn't know the other person and asked casually.
"A gunner is going to be transferred to Kunming to assist in the reorganization of the troops there," the adjutant said.
"You know, during this period, we have provided a lot of American equipment, but the quality of your troops is very low, and some people don't know how to use American equipment at all, so General Stilwell will definitely send some gunners to teach them how to use these weapons."
"At the same time, they will also be responsible for the use of supplies." The adjutant shrugged and said casually.
After hearing his words, Cun Yunsheng's eyes lit up and he then said.
"Major Tom, you know that many people in my Sichuan Army Corps don't know how to use American weapons. They also need professional gunsmiths to teach them. What do you think of letting him serve as a gunsmith in the Sichuan Army Corps?"
"Colonel Cun, you definitely won't like him. He has a bad temper and can't get along with many people." The adjutant spread his hands and said helplessly.
"It's okay. I don't care about the temper of such capable people." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.
"Okay, I will sign a transfer order and send him to the Sichuan Army Corps to assist your troops in training." As Stilwell's adjutant, he still has this power.
In this way, Lao Maitou was transferred to the Sichuan Army Corps.
In fact, Cun Yunsheng really has no shortage of gunsmiths now.
He still has a lot of veteran soldiers under his command, so he will definitely have no problem taking on the task of teaching the new recruits.
The only thing lacking is cultural heritage, which can only be accumulated slowly.
His real idea was to let Lao Maitou assist Long Wenjian.
That's right!
It is to assist Long Wenjian. Now the natives in Yangon are expanding very quickly.
There are more than 50,000 people, but their quality varies greatly.
Many people don’t know how to use American equipment.
Long Wenjian had complained to him more than once, asking him to send more veterans to him.
The key question is, we are in need of veterans now, where can we get them from?
Now that we have Old Maitou, things are easy.
Don’t you have a bad temper?
It’s not a big problem. Just give it to Long Wenjian. He has a good temper.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Cun Yunsheng's lips.
The combination of these two will definitely produce good results.
On the way back, Cun Yunsheng was still in a very good mood.
As soon as he returned to Lashio, Cun Yunsheng had no time to rest before Meng Fanle told him that the person he wanted had arrived.
Wendell Fettig has arrived?
Cun Yunsheng was suddenly excited. This big boss finally came.
This is really the case. I have been looking forward to it for a long time and finally got this person.
Then Meng Fanle told him that this guy was a little difficult to get along with.
It seemed that he was going to Allied Headquarters to accuse them.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng sneered and accused them?
He didn't take the so-called accusation seriously at all.
Instead, he met Long Wenjian first. As soon as he saw Long Wenjian, Cun Yunsheng teased him.
"The food is good. I actually gained weight."
"Hey, Commander, stop teasing me. You don't know how difficult this guy is to deal with. I knocked him out several times along the way." Long Wenjian said bitterly.
"Okay, I'm not here to listen to your complaints. I'm sending you a person. Take him back with you and ask him to help you reorganize your indigenous troops." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and interrupted the other party's complaints.
Hearing this, Long Wenjian's eyes lit up. Wasn't the reason he was complaining just to get some veterans to help reorganize the troops?
"Commander, is there any task you want to assign?" Long Wenjian asked out of habit.
"You're right, there really is a mission." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.
