User Upload Chapter 53

.On the evening of February 13, Myanmar, Tonggu. This small town with a population of 110,000 is located in the middle section of the Yanggang Mann (Derle) Railway, which is about 600 kilometers long. There is an airport in the northwest of the city, Keyonggang Airport. Its superior geographical location and convenient transportation conditions have given the "high honor" a place that the military strategists in the ancient city are fighting for. The severe reality of the Japanese army's overwhelming territorial forces further highlights the status of Tonggu City in the entire Myanmar defense.

It should be admitted that at this moment, the British de facto commander of India, General Wavell, is a completely old-fashioned colonist, but his strategic vision is still above the level. Long before the fall of Thailand, Wavell ordered Lieutenant General Hu Dun, the commander-in-chief of the British Army stationed in Germany to transfer the first division with the highest proportion of white people in the British and Burmese army to the Tonggu garrison. Later, he also ordered the British and Burmese First Division to do his best to strengthen the city defense fortifications of Tonggu. According to the official caliber of Britain and Burmese, Wavell's move was to be able to defend Mandalay by relying on Yangon in case of unfortunate fall. Major newspapers in London, far away, made a big fuss about this, saying that the British army made great efforts to operate and demonstrated the British Empire's determination to defend Myanmar.

Only a group of insiders who are deeply aware of the major policies and policies of the British abandoning Myanmar can see that the reason why Weiville respects Tonggu so much is nothing more than to prevent the Japanese from cutting off Myanmar in half before the British and British expatriates withdrawing from Yangon. It should be noted that Tonggu is Ye Fengsong, who has heavy troops stationed in the Japanese army, is only about 100 kilometers on the front line of Ban Kunrong. If the Japanese army attacks and marchs in large numbers, they will be able to reach the foot of Tonggu City within three days.

Although the gains and losses of Tonggu were determined to run away at this time, it was a big deal for the British who were determined to run away. Although British Prime Minister Sir Churchill sent a special commendation telephone number to all the officers and soldiers of the British-Burma First Division, Cheng Jiaji, who had traveled again with the Chinese and American military delegation, had just got off the plane and had no trouble from the empty, indifferent and disappointed eyes of the British soldiers lined up on the airport to welcome him.

This is just the beginning. The deeper it goes into the city, the more shocking the situation the Chinese and American military representatives saw were. The rows of cars that were lit on the street, with lights on their headlights, listless patrols, and scattered soldiers who turned a blind eye to the commander. These are nothing. Less than 100 meters outside the gate of the First Division of the British and Burmese Division, the Chinese and American military officers were fortunate to see an incredible scene, and a large group of people came out of the bar without knowing it.

The black soldiers with alcoholic faces were openly gang-raped several Burmese girls aged about ten on the streets. The Chinese and American officers were even more surprised that Major General Scott, the commander of the First Division of the British and Burmese Army, was the method of externalizing the method. This descendant of the English nobleman with the title of knight, first asked his adjutant to fire a gun and disperse the soldiers who were shot to the level, and then threw a few pounds of money next to the naked Burmese girls. This was considered to be the case to be concluded.

After arriving at the division headquarters, the Chinese and US military delegation was taken to a British apartment. According to Major General Scott, this is the first division of the British and Myanmar division for battalions stationed in peripheral positions. The regiment commanders occasionally prepare temporary residences when they meet at the division headquarters...

Although it was a temporary residence that could not take a few days a month. However, its attachments were fully equipped and the luxury of interior furnishings still made the low-level members of the delegation who had never seen the world amazed. Especially when they learned that it was this high-end apartment with a swimming pool and tennis court. It was equipped with fifty Burmese servants and an Indian housekeeper for many years, most Chinese and Americans were stunned!

The guests' homeless faces greatly satisfy the vanity of Major General Scott and his subordinates.

When Major General Scott and his subordinates said good night to the guests with affectionateness, and when they were about to leave, Lieutenant General Scherwei, who had been silent since he stepped on the land of Tonggu, called them.

"General Scott, it's only ten o'clock in the evening. I wonder if we can talk?"

Given the ranks of the invitation, Major General Scott decided to accommodate the other party.

Then Lieutenant General Scherwei, Chinese representative Lieutenant General Hou, Lieutenant General Yan, Cheng Jiaji and Chinese translator Lieutenant Colonel Yang were invited by Major General Scott to a reception room with several ivory products.

"General Scott, when will General Hu Dun arrive in Tonggu?" As soon as he sat down, Scherwei, who was born with an impatient attitude, asked impatiently.

"Dear Lieutenant General, General Hu Dun is busy with military affairs and government affairs. He has to stay in Yangon for a few more days before he can get out of Tonggu. However, he told me that you please wait here and let me treat you well!" Major General Scott's answer made the other people in the reception room unhappy. www.piaotian.com.com

Lieutenant General Scherway, who was as fierce as a fire, broke out: "General Scott, don't you think it's a very inappropriate thing to waste time when the war is about to begin?"

"Dear Lieutenant General, please forgive me, General Hu Dun's itinerary is not something I can interfere with as a subordinate." Major General Scott replied calmly.

"Then please send a message to General Hu Dun, and ask him to come to Tonggu tomorrow! If he doesn't come, I will go to Yangon to find him." Scherwei's words began to smell of gunpowder.

"Lieutenant General, I will convey your meaning to General Hu Dun and notify you of General Hu Dun's reply as soon as possible." Major General Scott's tone was becoming more and more formulaic.

"General Scott, I will go to inspect the military supplies warehouse in the suburbs tomorrow morning, please send us a car. At the same time, I hope that the first batch of supplies will be transported out of Tonggu at noon tomorrow." Perhaps I didn't want to get off the car and not get too stiff with the British at the beginning, Scherway's tone eased a little.

After understanding the meaning of Scherwei's words from the translator, Cheng Jiaji and Lieutenant General Hou and Lieutenant General Yan's expressions became solemn. It is no wonder that the Chinese translation of Tonggu is Dongshu. In other words, Tonggu is the US material transfer point agreed by China and the United States in November last year. One of the main purposes of the Sino-US joint delegation to Myanmar this time was to negotiate with the British side on the specific operational matters of gradually transferring the accumulated materials to the Sino-Yunnan border. The British side released this large batch of materials, which was the prerequisite for China to enter northern Myanmar with a division and land force, and London also agreed. Now it depends on whether the British military is a good match. After all, this county magistrate is not as good as the current management!

"Dear Lieutenant General. I and my subordinates who can serve you. Please rest assured. The vehicles and guards will wait at the division office tomorrow morning. As for the transportation of the convoy, I will try my best to arrange it. It will be too late tomorrow at noon. How about starting the day at night at the latest?" Major General Scott replied readily.

Inscott's words suddenly felt much more relaxed, and while sucking the British black tea that the servant had just sent over, he expressed his gratitude: "Very good! Then thank you General Scott."

Lieutenant General Hou was happily whispering to Lieutenant General: "Brother Xianzhang, we have fought so many times with the British devils. When did we see them so simply? I'm right! The British buy the most American land account. If there is no support from the Americans, the British will lose it. How can the British not be afraid of it!"

The lieutenant general also agreed repeatedly.

Only Cheng Jiaji sat expressionlessly on a gilded chair carved with empty Bible stories, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

After the matter was settled, the guests stood up and said goodbye after chatting politely for more than half an hour.

"Director." Cheng Jiaji was pulled aside by Director Shen, who came with him.

Director Shen attached himself to Cheng Jiaji's ear with a low voice, saying, "Director Leon has contacted him. He said he will wait for you in Mandalay on time!"

Cheng Jiaji nodded and expressed his recognition of Director Shen’s work efficiency.

"There are also news that at dusk, a British army of nearly a thousand people left the city."

"What's the intention? That direction?" Cheng Jiaji, who knew the news was 80% from the lurking personnel from No. 19, Luojiawan, asked repeatedly.

"Time is too tight, and I can't figure out what the British want to do. The direction of the British army's movement is toward the south."

Cheng Jiaji felt nervous when he heard this, and asked, "Is the military supplies warehouse in the southern suburbs?"

"No, the material warehouse is in the northern suburbs." Director Shen replied knowingly.

"Yao, strengthen your strength and continue to follow up. I always feel that the British will not be so honest!"

"Director, it is reported that the British army has pulled out a considerable amount of supplies from the northern suburbs material warehouse in the past few months..."

When Cheng Jiaji and Director Shen were whispering, Lieutenant General and Lieutenant General Hou were also whispering, and they also looked back at the location where Cheng Jiaji was from time to time. This situation also attracted the attention of Scherwei, who was walking behind the two Lieutenant Generals. The profound caution revealed in their eyes, especially the sensitive Scherwei, who was naturally familiar, felt doubtful.

After Cheng Jiaji returned to his own room, the doorbell rang as soon as he fell asleep.

Due to the limited space in the aircraft cabin, Cheng Jiaji, who was unable to bring the guards, had to jump out of the bed and go to open the door himself.

"General Cheng, General Scherwei invites you to the hall downstairs."

First release-Piaotian Sisi---net www.piaotian.com, more chapters, welcome to-Piaotian Sisi---support the author

Cheng Jiaji looked at Major Chels and responded: "Please tell General Scherway, I'll go down now."

With Chels and Cheng Jiaji was thinking hard about Scherway's intention to do this, but due to time constraints, he had to walk out of the room with doubts and confusion and go to the date that he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster!

"General Cheng, please sit down!" Scherwei, who had been waiting in the brightly lit hall, stood up and greeted him.

If it were another Chinese general, he might have been flattered to be able to receive this kind of courtesy. But Cheng Jiaji just smiled bitterly in his heart. To be honest, Scherway's heart was many times better than that of the Earl of Mountbatten, who had developed a plan to divide India and Pakistan with endless disasters. Moreover, this capable old soldier could not be considered a too arrogant person when treating people, but his moody, paranoid and narrow-minded personality was enough to make Cheng Jiaji afraid.

The two sat opposite each other. After a few words, Scherwei looked at Qi Cheng Jiaji silently.

It was a matter of more than ten points to look at it. Even though Cheng Jiaji's determination had improved greatly, the old American man still felt a little angry with his eagle-like gaze.

"General Cheng, I found you a mystery! Are all Chinese generals a mystery?" Scherwei said what he said in his heart. Since he was beaten by Cheng Jiaji in the Grand View Tower in public, this American general with a strong desire to take down your opponent. He must first understand the general principle of what kind of person he is and started collecting information for Cheng Jiaji. Fortunately, Cheng Jiaji has been in the battlefield in recent years. Scherwei has a wide range of connections among the US diplomats in China.

After checking, Scherwei quickly got what he wanted. After a rough look at Cheng Jiaji's personal information, Scherwei, who has strong analytical ability, had to admit that even when such information was too much water (Sherwei's subjective view), Cheng Jiaji had been in and out of the core part of the Sino-Japanese War vortex since the Battle of Xuzhou, and was at least an excellent tactician. The reason why Scherwei really valued Cheng Jiaji was still because the supreme authorities valued Cheng Jiaji beyond the ordinary.

That was when Scherwei first met the Supreme Authority. After politely greeting each other, the commander of the Chinese war zone said to his staff that the first sentence he said was actually because Cheng Jiaji was disrespectful to Scherwei and apologized to Scherwei on his behalf. Although the Supreme Authority used a half-joking tone when he said this, Guang's kind; a little Pang Ni's tone was enough to make the habits of the Chinese officialdom not nothing.

Scherwei, who knew, was deeply shocked. What made Scherwei even more incredible was that in the subsequent conversation, Scherwei actually found that several grand strategic military operations that interest him on the Chinese battlefield were more or less shadows of Cheng Jiaji. Scherwei, who was used to straightforward American thinking, immediately asked a question to the commander-in-chief of the Chinese theater: "Since Cheng Jiaji is so powerful, why is he still just a small major general?"

Scherway, who was full of question marks, got the most irresponsible answer. The supreme authorities smiled and asked the American lieutenant general to ask Cheng Jiaji himself.

Originally, the main reason why Scherwei, who was not so arrogant, asked was a shameless question, which prompted him to make up his mind was an inference from the sneaky behavior of the two Chinese lieutenant generals not long ago. The strange expressions of the interweaving of alert, fear and disgust that were deeply rooted in the bones was so similar to the expressions he had seen many Chinese people talking about the "China's Gestapo"! I think about this situation when Cheng Jiaji visited Myanmar last year. If he had gained something, Scherwei could no longer suppress his desire to "be good" with Cheng Jiaji.

This is why this separate "summoning" was completely beyond Cheng Jiaji's expectations.

"General Scherwei, the difference between Chinese generals and American generals is actually caused by the differences between two different civilizations. As long as you understand the connotation of Eastern culture, I believe you will naturally understand the inner world of Chinese generals. By then, the so-called mystery will not be a mystery." Cheng Jiaji, who was caught off guard, struggled to explain.

Shierwei, who could only listen to a few knowledges, said after thinking hard for a while: "General Cheng, your military achievements are well-known, but your military achievements are obviously not compatible with the military ranks. How do you view this issue?"

Cheng Jiaji settled his thoughts and replied with a smile: "General Scherwei, you may not understand that the promotion of a general in China is sometimes a kind of good intention for him, which we call it "safety."

After all, he lived in China for more than ten years. Scherwei would be praised as a Chinese master and would not be famous. After thinking about it, he asked in a tone of uncertainty: "Just just to be afraid that others will be jealous, jealous, and slander!"

"It's not just for these things. General Scherway. China has a long history of civilization. On this land, the general has always been a profession with the highest danger and the most rewarding. In history, there are many people who have jumped from a general holding heavy troops to an emperor. In fact, hasn't your country's President Washington also been persuaded by his subordinates?"

"So he is great and unique. The current power structure of the United States' three-power division is to prevent dictators. After all, what Washington can do is too difficult for most people!" When talking about Washington, an American, who is always proud, Scherway's pride is beyond words.

"It's a pity that the Chinese people don't have that luck! The system of "family and world" in China has been implemented for thousands of years. Until now, China has not yet had a real constitution and parliament. When it comes to the great power of the emperor, let alone a dictator, even those monarchs in Europe who are in charge of the country's power have to be far behind! In order to avoid the generals taking over it, sometimes it doesn't take any reason for the emperor to kill a general. In a word, the greater the merits of a general, the higher the status. In the eyes of civil servants and kings, the greater the original sin of the original sin, and the closer the death is to the general! Of course, this is not an unsolvable problem. As long as this general becomes the emperor, everything will be solved. But the tragedy will not end there, but there is only a new beginning. Moreover, this general who becomes the emperor will be more strongly wary of the generals than the previous emperors!"

Although Shierwei had a few Peking Operas and knew some of the customs and customs of China, he had never been involved in the emperor's mind. After the long-term exam, Shierwei finally understood some of the mystery of this. But he immediately raised a new question: "General Cheng, do you mean that you must be careful when you are a general in China, but I saw it in Chongqing that it seems that this is not the case. The generals there are almost all rich people, and they are even shameless to be so shameless that their wealth is plundered by illegal means such as embezzlement and smuggling. Why is this?"

When Scherwei was talking, he was still calm at first, but when he said that he was already stern, he was almost cursing without a sharp finger.

Scherwei's excitement made Cheng Jiaji's heart tremble. He remembered the son of the American farmer's evaluation of Chinese society at this time: There are 400 million people in China. Thirty-nine thousand nine hundred people are good people, and the remaining one million bad people are all officials. As far as Cheng Jiaji knows, Scherwei in history may have been so exhausted to say bad things about the Chinese government at that time because of this simple feeling. And Scherwei's motives will not be discussed at all, but his behavior objectively harmed all the Yanhuang, including the 399 million good people he believed,

The overall interests of descendants. The reason why President Roosevelt made the notorious transaction with the Soviet Union to make the "independence" of Outer Mongolia, which was then the legal territory of China, in exchange for the Soviet Union's dispatch of troops to Northeast China was mainly due to distrust of the combat power of the Chinese army. In a word, the US government did not believe that the Chinese army could persist in the war of resistance. Roosevelt's extreme pessimism about the situation of China's war of resistance was largely influenced by the influence of US officials in China, and among them, Scherway was "great contributions"!

Cheng Jiaji thought of this, and he dared to stimulate the old American man who acted extreme. He now abandoned the words he had already thought of, and mixed them up: "The government of that country will have corruption. To put it bluntly, the general in the army is only an integral part of government officials, so how can he survive? In my opinion, the reason why China has become a trend for thousands of years is mainly because of the lack of a system that can effectively curb the greed of officials. I firmly believe that as long as the Japanese are defeated, China can with the help of the United States.

To create such a system! Besides, General Scherwei, have you heard that there is a country in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, who refreshes politics while fighting a full-scale war? In the current China, the War of Resistance is an overwhelming situation. For this overall situation, it is also out of helplessness that these people cannot be driven to Nanjing to be traitors! You must know that there are certainly many incompetent people among them, but there are also many talented people! Especially the generals in the army, they are forced to make an urgent effort, and some people can do anything!"

The power of Cheng Jiaji's pirated "Spring and Autumn Brush" is indeed extraordinary. The always-picky Scherwei not only nodded in his heart, but also felt aroused from Cheng Jiaji. He saw this as a "pro-American democratic faction".

Although he nodded in his heart, it was difficult for Scherwei to praise others in person, let alone a Chinese army, but Scherwei expressed his recognition of Cheng Jiaji's words in another way. He took the initiative to change the topic: "General Cheng, how powerful do you think the British and Burmese army are?" At this time, Scherwei's tone became gentle, and even felt a little kind of intimate.

"A army that has no desire to fight and only wants to retreat safely. Let its training be excellent and its weapons are advanced. Is it combat effectiveness?" Cheng Jiaji's answer was so strong that every word was sonorous.

Scherway did not answer immediately, but his face turned dark again. Before today, he had always had great hope for the British. You should know that the ground troops stationed in Asia were the most capable of relying on power in Asia as the US government. But after seeing the "heroic military appearance", "stricken military discipline" of the First Division, the most elite unit of the British and Burmese army, and the convoy that could be escaped at any time, even if Scherway was stubborn, he had realized a fact in his heart, that is, the British army had no intention of fighting at all, and was just unwilling to admit it. Cheng Jiaji had revealed the secret of the world in one word, so why didn't he be speechless?

"General Cheng, after I go back, can I go to your army to take a look? Do you understand what I mean? It's to take a look, not to inspect!" Scherwei, who has realized that only by relying on the Chinese army can he protect Myanmar, was sincerely demanding.

"Please rest assured, General, I guarantee with the dignity of a soldier that you will see the most real situation, not a performance with a huge cast!" Cheng Jiaji said humorously.

"That's so thankful!" She naturally understood the shortcomings of the Chinese army. The weight of Cheng Jiaji's promise was not exchanged for even high-level orders.

"General Cheng, although your troops are still on the border between Sichuan and Yunnan, I believe your new 20th Army will definitely join the battle of Yunnan." Scherwei was in a good mood and was kept in a silence.

Looking at the strange face of Scherwei, Cheng Jiaji asked inexplicably: "Oh? Why did General Scherwei dare to be so sure!"

"Just among the Chinese generals, you are probably the one who knows the customs and customs of Myanmar the best!"

Immediately afterwards, Scherwei turned his speech again and said sternly: "General Cheng, you are the best Chinese general I know, and your future should be bright. As an old soldier with forty years of military experience, I would like to give a piece of advice with 120,000 sincerely. A general who commands thousands of troops. Even if he is ordered by his superiors, if he is too involved with some unfamous things and those infamous "Gestapo", he will start to be

It is ultimately a very disagreeable thing! Please remember that no matter how selfish and short-sighted the damn British people are, they are still our allies so far!" "General, the British people are afraid that they don't think so. I just got a bad news from a channel that you and us are here. At least one-quarter of the military supplies piled in the warehouse have disappeared." Cheng Jiaji said slowly.

"Don't worry, when the British cried! I will check it carefully tomorrow. If it is too short, it will affect the supply of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, I will send a telegram to the White House directly! Let the White House deduct twice the amount of supplies equivalent to a short amount of supplies from the share of the loaned materials." After Scherwei said this confidently, he greeted Cheng Jiaji and went straight back to the room.

Cheng Jiaji looked at Scherwina's straight back, and an unknown premonition suddenly surged into his heart: When the British were thieves, wouldn't they expect that they are today?
