Chapter 76 Arrogance comes at a price!
"What, you are the Sichuan Army?" Colonel Rogers had naturally heard of this Allied direct-affiliated force, but he did not expect that the other party would actually come to his airport.

And he also knew one thing, that the Japanese army was looking for this unit like crazy.

Because the Japanese army lost an entire regiment and even a colonel was killed in the battle.

Such an amazing record naturally attracted the attention of the Allied high-ranking officials.

"Yes, I am the Sichuan Army Corps. It looks like Colonel Rogers has heard of my name." Cun Yunsheng had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be angry about the previous insults.

This made Lin Yi and others very confused. They wondered when their leader became so good-tempered.

However, Long Wenjian felt that Cun Yunsheng was more flexible than him.

Only Meng Fanle knew that his own leader was definitely planning something bad.

This English guy in front of me is definitely going to be in trouble.

"I have heard of it, but I also know that the Japanese army is chasing you. I didn't expect you to come here."

"But I still say that you are not welcome here. Please take your men and leave the airport." Colonel Rogers refused mercilessly.

Hearing this, Captain Steve roared angrily.

"Colonel Rogers, we are the Allies. You cannot deny the Allies the right to enter the airport. I will definitely report your behavior to the Allied Command."

"Hmph, go ahead. You are not welcome here." Having lost so much face, how could Colonel Rogers agree to the other party to enter the airport?

He didn't want to see the other person's face at all now.

"Please send a telegram to General Stilwell and explain everything here in detail. Captain Steve, do you have anything to add?" Cun Yunsheng was too lazy to indulge him. If it weren't for the alliance between the two sides, he would have wanted to kill the guy in front of him.

So he threw this difficult problem to Stilwell and asked him to solve it.

"In addition, the telegram must specifically state that we are now out of ammunition and food. The British army refuses our entry. I suspect they want to use the Japanese army to destroy us."

"Remember to make it sound particularly miserable, understand?" Cun Yunsheng pulled Meng Fanle over and gave him special instructions.

Hearing this, Meng Fanle couldn't help but give a thumbs up. His group leader was really good at having fun.

Soon the telegram reached Stilwell's hands.

If it was just Cun Yunsheng's unilateral statement, he might doubt the authenticity of the telegram.

After all, it was ridiculous for the British army to surrender to friendly forces.

But there was Steve's signature on the back of the telegram, which proved that it was true.

Now the British army still refused to allow its allies to enter the airport, which made Stilwell extremely angry.

But he knew that matters involving the British army were not easy to handle.

Restraining his inner anger, Stilwell called Lord Alexander and slapped the telegram directly in front of him. Unfortunately, Lord Alexander seemed to have known about this for a long time and showed no expression at all.

"General Stilwell, I have already understood the whole cause and effect of this incident. The expeditionary force pretended to be the Japanese army, causing Colonel Rogers to mistakenly believe that they were the Japanese army, so they surrendered." Lord Alexander's understatement made Stilwell extremely angry.

If it weren't for Steve's testimony, he might have believed it.

"Your Excellency, my instructors were also in the Sichuan Army. They witnessed this scene with their own eyes. Could it be that the great British Army has begun to confuse right and wrong now?"

Alexander's mouth twitched slightly at these words, and he could only bite the bullet and continue speaking.

"General Stilwell, I think this is just a misunderstanding. There is no need to make a big deal out of it. There is fog in the evening in Burma. It is normal for Colonel Rogers to think that the Sichuan Army is the Japanese Army. However, the Sichuan Army did not identify itself in time and should be punished. I think Colonel Rogers did the right thing."

Even if the British were wrong, Alexander would not admit it.

Just as Cun Yunsheng guessed, if they couldn't deal with the British army, could they not deal with a few allies?

What's more, this ally is the kind of person that the British army has always looked down upon.

So the British army will not admit this mistake.

This is the arrogant British army.

If it were someone else, Stilwell would definitely point his finger at the other person and curse, but for Lord Alexander, he had to control his temper.

That's why he wanted to shoot someone because a division of the Expeditionary Force failed to stop the Japanese attack.

The reason why more than 10,000 British troops were scared away by more than 1,000 Japanese troops but were not punished.

To put it bluntly, they never really looked up to the Expeditionary Force from the bottom of their hearts.

So the treatment received is also different.

"Your Lordship, I believe that we are here to help the British Empire hold on to its colony in Burma, but what you have done leaves us with no hope at all." Stilwell took a deep breath and decided to convince him from a different angle.

Unfortunately, Lord Alexander was not moved at all.

Or perhaps the British Empire simply looked down upon such a colony.

If there weren't an oil field here that had some value, the British army would probably have abandoned it long ago.

Therefore, with this kind of reason, Alexander would not be shaken at all.

Especially the Japanese army's surprise attack on Tangji and their direct attack on Lashio further strengthened their determination to retreat to India.

"General Stilwell, our Prime Minister has agreed with my decision to abandon Burma, so it doesn't matter whether we defend it or not."

"And judging from the current situation, we can't hold it at all. The Japanese attack speed is too fast."

"As long as they take Lashio, the tens of thousands of expeditionary forces on the eastern front will be finished." Lord Alexander is not a fool, so he can naturally see this.

Hearing this, General Stilwell looked at the other party, waiting for his next words.

"So I suggest that the US can transfer military aid to North Africa, where your assistance is more needed." "After all, the German army poses a greater threat, and the Far East is useless."

"As long as we can defeat the German army, we can take back the Far East at any time." Lord Alexander said in a persuasive manner.

Hearing this, Stilwell took a deep look and then shook his head to refuse.

"I am only the chief of staff of the Southeast Asia theater. I have no right to decide these things. You should talk to those people in the White House."

Lord Alexander was not surprised by this, but changed his tone.

"I know that I didn't allow you to be transferred to North Africa openly. You can use the black market to smuggle some weapons."

"You know, the situation over there is also very critical. The German offensive is too fierce."

"A large amount of weapons and equipment are also needed there."

"Especially tanks, and anti-aircraft weapons."

Stilwell suddenly realized that this guy wanted him to smuggle weapons with him.

If he really did it for money, he could have done it, but I'm sorry, he didn't do it for money.

Everything he did was for America.

Or rather, the interests of the entire Far East.

Everyone knew that the British Empire was about to decline.

The interests of these colonies need to be taken over by a new empire.

Therefore, the current policy of the US military is to first deal with the Japanese troops in the Pacific, and then send troops when the fighting in Europe is almost over.

In addition, Britain and France are currently too busy with the Far East to take care of it, making it very suitable for America to take over all interests in the Far East.

This led to Stilwell not agreeing to the other party's request at all.

Only by continuously bleeding the British Empire can America's hegemonic position be established after the war.

Although Lord Alexander did not know these deep-level strategic plans, he could guess a little.

All the British high-ranking officials knew that Fatty Qiu's behavior was treasonous, but at the moment, only by winning the war could the British Empire rely on India to continue to maintain its dominant position.

This is why we would rather give up Myanmar than let India go.

The conflict between the two sides existed from the beginning, and the situation Stilwell faced was not necessarily good.

"Sorry, I can't make the decision on these things. My mission is to let Shancheng continue to fight the war and consume the Japanese offensive." Stilwell shook his head and rejected his proposal.

Lord Alexander looked at him with some disappointment. He didn't expect that this stubborn old man would be so stubborn.

"Your Excellency, I must remind you that we are allies. Colonel Rogers cannot refuse friendly forces access and supplies. If you insist on doing so, I will report this to the White House."

"And suggest that they discuss with your Prime Minister whether you are really suitable for the position of Commander of the British Burmese Army." Stilwell was too lazy to beat around the bush and went straight to his big move.

At present, the British army still relies on the US military supplies, so it will not offend the US military.

If Stilwell really urged it, Fatty Qiu would probably consider his proposal.

Hearing this, Lord Alexander's face darkened. He didn't expect that the other party would even use this trick for a ragtag army.

After pondering for a while, Alexander felt that there was no need to make both parties unhappy over such a small matter.

"I will send a telegram to Colonel Rogers to ask him to agree to allow the Sichuan Army to enter the airport, but it is only to enter the airport. As for the supply of materials, I am sorry that the remaining materials at the airport are only enough for the British army."

After hearing this, Stilwell was too lazy to argue with him. It was just a few supplies, which was nothing. He could just let the Flying Tigers fly a few more times.

The two sides have reached a preliminary consensus.

Not long after, Colonel Rogers received a telegram from Alexander, who, with a gloomy face, ordered the Sichuan Army to enter the airport without mentioning any supplies.

"Commander, these British guys are really hateful. It's obviously their own fault that they didn't figure it out, but they blame it all on us." Meng Fanle said angrily.

The arrogant attitude of the British army made everyone in the Sichuan Army sick. They came from afar to help the British army fight, and this is the treatment they get?
Long Wenjian looked as if he had known about it for a long time.

"I've said it before, the arrogant British army will never treat us well."

Only Cun Yunsheng said lightly.

"Arrogance also has a price."

Hearing this, Meng Fan's eyes lit up. He knew that his own leader would definitely not suffer any loss.

Now that he has suffered such a great loss, he will definitely retaliate.

"Commander, what are you going to do?"

Cun Yunsheng said in surprise.

"We are allies, there will definitely not be any retaliation or anything like that."

"I understand, I understand. That's what you are going to do?" Meng Fan looked as if he understood and continued to ask.

"Hey, didn't Rogers just say that the Japanese army is chasing us? What do you think, if the Japanese army knew we were at the airport, would they go crazy and come to the airport to look for us regardless of anything?" Cun Yunsheng sighed lightly and said with a compassionate look.

Meng Fanle was stunned at first, then he gave a thumbs up.

"It's so high, so high. It's really too high."

Long Wenjian, who was standing next to him, looked at Cun Yunsheng in amazement. He didn't expect the other party to play such a big game.
