In fact, Halsey and MacArthur landed on the island to study defense matters just an excuse. Their real purpose... is to see what excellence is there in the Chinese troops that can easily be easily captured by both islands that neither the US Navy nor the US 6th Army can afford.

Of course, because of the disagreement between MacArthur and Zhang Chi before, this intention was unspeakable. If you say it, it means that you have personally admitted defeat to Zhang Chi.

However, when MacArthur looked at the situation of the US Navy Team 6 and then looked at the situation of the Chinese team, he really couldn't hold on.

The two armies of China and the United States on Bito Island can be said to be clear in terms of momentum:

The US military forces on the right hand... tanks, cars, etc. were idle on the position, and the soldiers were lazily lying or waiting for orders. Perhaps because of the hot weather, many of them took off their military uniforms and held them with rifles as parasols, and some soldiers even took off their shorts.

The Chinese troops on the left...their tanks and cars are arranged neatly and reasonably at the closest to the highway and covered and camouflaged. The armored troops are also not far from the tanks and vehicles. They can enter the battle at any time with a command. The military appearance is even more incomparable to the US military. Chinese soldiers either line up to rest or wield engineer shovels to build fortifications under the scorching sun.

Seeing such a huge gap, MacArthur could only comfort himself and said to himself: "Perhaps, this is because the US Navy 6 team has been fighting for more than twenty hours under the enemy's firepower. They do need to rest!"

Of course, this was just MacArthur's wishful thinking. The US military's combat time was indeed longer than that of the China Team, but the intensity of the battle was not as large as that of the China Team, which first swam in an armed manner, and then broke through the Japanese defense line several times. What's more, even if the China Team was allowed to fight for more than twenty hours, the China Team would still be the same.

"Colin!" Halsey looked at all this and sincerely praised: "I have to admit that you have done a good job!"

"I don't understand what you are referring to, General!" Zhang Chi was a little confused.

"Your army!" Halsey raised his head in the direction of the Central Team and said, "Each of them knows what they should do, and compared to you..."

As he said that, Halsey looked in the direction of the US military and shook his head awkwardly and helplessly.

At this time, Zhang Chi realized that Halsey was talking about the military appearance of the two armies. He had long been used to the gap between China and the United States. It should be said that he had been used to it when he was in Myanmar, so he didn't think there was anything strange at all.

Halsey continued: "I think we have to strengthen the training of the troops!"

Zhang Chi just smiled and replied: "I am bluntly, General, this is not something that can be done by intensifying training!"

"Oh?" Halsey cast a puzzled look at Zhang Chi, and even MacArthur couldn't help but turn his head.

"What is that?" Halsey asked.

"It's survival, general, survive!"

"Survive?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi turned his eyes to his troops: "Everyone of them, I mean every one... has experienced an existential crisis that you can't imagine, and has passed by death again and again, which made each of them understand one thing: they want to become a whole, hug each other tightly into an army, and use all the time they can use, as well as all the equipment around them. Only in this way can they survive in battles again and again!"

Halsey couldn't help but nodded. He was also a war-torn person, of course he knew this feeling.

In fact, this is also one of the differences between veterans and new recruits: veterans always try their best to do what they should do, because they know that this can prevent them from absent and increase their survival rate, while new recruits always rest as much as possible, because they feel that they are too tired at any time, and habitually tell themselves that they are lucky enough to tell themselves that they do less, just like the situation in the US military.

"Now!" MacArthur looked at Page who was following him and said, "I think we should leave time for Ms. Page's interview with the colonel. I don't want Ms. Page to criticize me for being so unconscientious in the newspaper!"

Page couldn't help but blush when he heard this and replied: "General, maybe you don't know that Colonel Zhang and his troops are my saviors. They rescued us from the Japanese encirclement!"

"Oh, is that?" MacArthur smiled at Zhang Chi: "I would like to hear the legendary story about the colonel another day!"

As he said that, Halsey and MacArthur walked towards the group of reporters blocked by the guards and signaled the guards to let them go. In an instant, a group of reporters rushed up and surrounded them in the middle.

Page smiled and said, "They really have no vision. I don't know that you are the one who really plays a role in this battle!"

"Are you praising yourself?" Zhang Chi asked.

"That's right!"

"So…where should the interview start?"

Hearing this, Page was stunned. After thinking about it, he replied: "I had prepared a lot of questions, but... I don't have those questions worth asking now! I really can't believe that you are a teacher now, and..."

“And what?”

"Nothing!" Page shook her head. She didn't know how to describe the feeling of a middle-aged official sitting on par with two American generals and even having the upper hand in the aura.

As a British journalist, she knew very well that this situation was almost impossible. Because European and American countries generally looked down on the Chinese at this time, this was mainly because the Chinese performed poorly on the battlefield, and China was a weak industrial country, so even an American general like Stilwell dared to openly oppose Principal Jiang.

But the current official in front of him... His current military rank is only a colonel. He was even a platoon leader a few months ago, but he was respected by the American general. If it weren't for seeing it with his own eyes, Page wouldn't believe it.

Zhang Chi just smiled and said nothing.

In fact, he understood what Page meant. Page just didn't want to hurt Zhang Chi's self-esteem, so he didn't say it out loud.

This can also be said to be the sorrow of China at this time... Although Zhang Chi has indeed received the respect he deserves, as Page saw, what is this?

You should know that China can be regarded as a victorious country in both World War I and World War II. However, as a victorious country, after the war, not only did not get the benefits it deserved, but the land would be unfairly divided...

This is an era of power. What you need is not only personal dignity, but also national dignity!
