Chapter 380 Requirements

These days, Zhang Chi certainly has no intention of paying attention to the war on Pelliu Island. He only cares about China, China!

But no matter how many telegrams Zhang Chi sent back, there was no news like a rock sinking into the sea. Zhang Chi even doubted whether the United States deliberately blocked the expeditionary force and the domestic ones. After all, the expeditionary force and the domestic ones were established with the help of the US military.

It is indeed a bit unsatisfactory, but it is not the United States who intentionally did it. It is because a US radio station relay station located in Austria was attacked by the Japanese army, and some places were subjected to typhoons, so many telegrams did not send to China.

However, this is not the main reason... Zhang Chi's telegram was successfully sent to China, but as Zhang Chi had previously guessed, this did not attract enough attention from the ****** authorities.

Because the Battle of Changde had just ended not long ago, the battle lasted for 65 days. The squadron repelled the Japanese attack at the cost of more than 50,000 casualties, and the Japanese army suffered more than 40,000 casualties.

Although the casualties of the squadron are still higher than those of the Japanese army, such casualties can be said to be a great victory, not to mention that China has defeated the Japanese army's strategic intentions.

In addition, the United States' successive victory in the Pacific battlefield made the Chinese troops at this time have a mentality of underestimating the enemy from top to bottom... Many Chinese generals thought that the end of the Japanese army was coming soon, and it would not take long to be the time for China to organize a counterattack and defeat the Japanese army.

Therefore, many Chinese generals even called the Battle of Changde the Battle of Stalingrad in China, and its significance was... After this battle, the squadron would enter a strategic counterattack like the Soviet Union against Germany.

Therefore, no one in China took Zhang Chi's warning to heart.

Principal Jiang actually saw Zhang Chi's telegram. He was quite careful and sent a telegram to inquire about the US intelligence department... Of course, the reply from the US intelligence department must be "No such thing, that is purely unfounded speculation."

The matter was left unresolved. After that, no matter how many telegrams Zhang Chi sent, he was automatically ignored by Principal Jiang's staff and did not send them to Principal Jiang.

Zhang Chi, who was still on Kwaijialin Island, was helpless. He couldn't fly back to China to have a big fight with Principal Jiang and others! If he really did this, the biggest possibility was that he was placed under house arrest by Principal Jiang and would not think about going anywhere.

Therefore, Zhang Chi could only smoke one after another, and the entire command center was shrouded in the smoke, appearing depressed and silent.

Sometimes Zhang Chi even thought: "Damn Americans! If you don't fight Japan, I will lead the expeditionary force to fight Japan!"

But then I thought about it... the logistics supply of the Expeditionary Force is in the hands of the US military. If it tries to break out of the strategic framework of the US military, the US military only needs to stop the supply, and the Expeditionary Force will not be able to fight anywhere.

Therefore, the current reality is: no matter what you do, it must be in line with the interests of the United States, or rather, find ways to find common interests between China and the United States.

But now, the interests of the United States are to turn its offensive focus to the Philippines, so what can it stand for?

"Teacher!" At this time, a correspondent soldier reported: "General Halsey asked for a meeting!"

"No!" Zhang Chi replied without thinking.

Zhang Chi was upset at this time, no matter what Halsey or Halton’s.

"Colin!" Halsey walked in and said with a wry smile: "I flew back from the front line. You can't just send me away so casually!"

Zhang Chi leaned on the chair and said, "Tell me, General! What's the point of fighting here?"

Halsey was stunned when he heard this, and then pretended to be confused and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about!"

Zhang Chi replied: "You should know that we are fighting here to solve the domestic dilemma... Yes, I also know that only interests are discussed between countries, but the question is... where are our interests? The Chinese Expeditionary Force always rushed to the front line on the battlefield and always fought in the most dangerous places, but in the end it could not stop the Japanese army from attacking China. So is our desperate battle meaningful?"

"Do you think so?" Halsey looked for a chair in front of Zhang Chi and sat down.

"Otherwise, what do you think I should think?" Zhang Chi asked back.

"Forget it!" Halsey said: "You know, it's not my idea, and I don't agree with it!"

"Of course I know!" Zhang Chi said: "But this may mean the casualties of hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops, and the sufferings of countless people!"

"Why do you think this way?" Halsey asked in confusion: "I mean... we don't even know if the Japanese really launched a counterattack as you said, right? But you are very sure, and even know that the Chinese troops will definitely lose?"

Zhang Chi was stunned, and then replied casually: "I guess!"

"This is also the reason why I think you shouldn't think so!" Halsey spread his hands: "Nothing happened now, but you guessed it so badly. Maybe the Chinese troops defeated the Japanese? You should know that we have recently increased our U.S. aid to China. Myanmar has been opening up for a while, and China's equipment and supply situations are improving. Why can't they beat the Japanese like you, just like you?"

Zhang Chi could only smile bitterly.

Halsey is not clear about China's situation, but Zhang Chi is very clear about it... The poor combat effectiveness of Chinese troops certainly has problems with equipment and supplies, but the most fundamental problem is the chilling command system of the *** army.

"So..." Halsey continued to persuade: "Listen to me, Colonel! Is that okay to put that matter aside? The Chinese and American militaries are still allies, and we are still friends!"

"General!" Zhang Chi asked: "You are not talking about these things!"

"Of course not!" Halsey replied awkwardly: "We are in trouble on the island of Peleliou. Major General Rupertes hopes you can help them!"

"Can I refuse?" Zhang Chi asked.

"That's not a wise approach!" Halsey replied, "Although I think it's understandable. In addition, I want to say... it's your old friend who is in trouble."

"Old friend?"

"Land War Regiment!" Halsey said: "Who fought side by side with you on Guadalcanal Island, remember the regiment commander Clifton?"

"Oh!" Zhang Chi nodded.

"You will agree!" Halsey asked.
