Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Stilwell firmly believed that if all these weapons and equipment were used in the hands of the Chinese Expeditionary Army, they would be far more powerful than in the hands of the national army, and would be able to launch a large-scale strategic counterattack on the Asian battlefield earlier.

Roosevelt did not answer directly, but turned to Army Chief of Staff Marshall and asked, "General Marshall, what do you think?"

"Your Excellency, General Stilwell's judgment is not unreasonable."

Marshall nodded, then immediately shook his head and said, "However, if we do this, the losses outweigh the gains."

Roosevelt frowned and said, "General Marshall, what are you worried about, please explain it."

"Ok."

Marshall nodded and said: "If, as General Stilwell said, all supplies are lent to the Burmese theater, it is indeed possible to change the situation in the Burmese theater in a short period of time, and even become the first battlefield where the Allied forces launch a major strategic counteroffensive.

However, this is very likely to cause the national government to surrender to the Japanese in anger. "

"Surrender to the Japanese?"

Roosevelt frowned, and pondered: "No way? The national government's anti-Japanese stance is still very firm, and Huaxia and the Japanese government have long had a blood feud!"

"No! Your Excellency, the matter is not that simple. Apart from the Shandong Peninsula, the domestic battlefield in China is very difficult, whether it is the Kuomintang-controlled area or the enemy's base area."

Marshall shook his head and said: "In recent years, a large number of national army troops have systematically surrendered to the Japanese under the lure of the Wang puppet government and the Japanese, and there is a lot of pressure within the national government.

If we cut off the military assistance from the Nationalist Government at this time, maybe this will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

We must know that when people are in despair, they can do anything. "

"Okay, then continue with the original plan."

Roosevelt nodded kindly and said: "Now the Burmese theater has achieved a team victory, and the Burmese industrial zone has basically been completed and put into operation.

I believe that with Yang Fan's means and ability, even without the assistance of the US government, he should be able to hold Myanmar and switch to a strategic counteroffensive. "

On the surface, Roosevelt was agreeing with Marshall, but in fact Roosevelt thought exactly the same as Marshall.

Because Yang Fan's performance was too amazing, he fully possessed the strength and background to stand against the National Government, and even faintly overwhelmed the National Government.

In addition to the huge Dongxing Trading Group Company, both Marshall and Roosevelt were a little afraid of this comet-like emerging force.

I am afraid that one day in the future, China will be revived and stand in the east of the world again.

And a powerful Chinese country is obviously not in the interests of the United States.

So they instinctively started to play the balancing act, no longer reducing the national government's supplies to the Burmese theater, so that Yang Fan's Myanmar theater and the Nationalist government's Huaxia theater maintained a balance.

Yangon Myanmar Theater Command.

"Fack, a group of short-sighted idiots! I don't know what they think!"

After receiving the call back from the White House, Stilwell kept roaring angrily, and then thumped the table vigorously angrily, making the table rattle.

This is also thanks to the thick solid wood tabletops in this era, not the thin and inferior plywood, otherwise the tabletops would have been overwhelmed and died heroically.

Wang Geng hurriedly drove out the staff in the war room.

Li Zongren looked at Stilwell curiously, and asked with concern: "General Stilwell, what happened? It made you so angry?"

"Ugh!"

Stilwell sighed for a long time, and said extremely sadly, "Washington has rejected my application and does not allow our Myanmar theater to withhold materials for the China theater."

Stilwell was really sad. The reason why he made such a request and suggestion was absolutely without any selfishness, and it was definitely not for personal gain, but for the overall situation of the War of Resistance.

As far as the current situation is concerned, if the same military supplies are aided to the Myanmar theater, the role it can play will definitely be twice or even three times that of the national government.

Now the situation in the Burmese battlefield is still very good, and there is hope of smashing the offensive of the Japanese Burmese dispatched troops, and gradually counterattacking with special personnel.

Therefore, Stilwell is very confident that as long as Yang Fan continues to sit in Burma and maintain the current good momentum, he will be the first to sound the howl of the Allied strategic counterattack on the Southeast Asian battlefield.

But at this juncture, the U.S. government stopped calling, and no longer fully supported its decision as before.

However, according to the express lease terms, the strategic materials that the Burmese theater can obtain are rarely less than [-]% of the national government.

And relying on this material alone, the Myanmar theater simply cannot support the strategic counterattack of a million-level army.

This means that even if the Burmese theater can withstand the attack of the Japanese Burmese dispatched troops, and even win the final victory in the Burmese battle, the counterattack force will be greatly reduced, and the situation in the Southeast Asian battlefield cannot be reversed cleanly. At most, it will win a partial battle. war.

And the victory of the entire Asian battlefield will be greatly delayed and delayed!

So Stilwell didn't understand this very much. He really didn't understand why Washington didn't agree to his request, and he felt like he was being poured from head to toe by a basin of cold water.

Yang Fan, who was sitting not far away, smiled casually and said, "It's not surprising, it's completely expected, General Stilwell doesn't need to get angry!"

Stilwell asked in surprise, "Yang, you already guessed the result, didn't you? Is my suggestion really stupid?"

"No, my friend, you are not mistaken."

Yang Fan smiled and said, "General Stilwell, the difference between a politician and a military strategist lies in this place. You are a pure military strategist, but your top leadership in the United States is a group of politicians.

I say this, can you understand? "

"..."

Hearing this, Stilwell suddenly showed a thoughtful look, obviously unable to fully understand Yang Fan's deep meaning for a while.

At this time, Li Zongren understood Yang Fan's words, and immediately said angrily: "Commander Yang, do you mean that the US government is trying to play a balance? Is it too irritating for us to be too big in the Myanmar theater?"

Li Zongren is a military strategist as well as a statesman. After what Yang Fan said, it is not difficult to see the truth.

Sun Zhen answered angrily: "Unexpectedly, the Americans and Lao Jiang are of the same virtue. This has just started to improve, and then they started to make crooked ideas and get stuck in our necks?"

As the commander-in-chief of the 22nd Army, Sun Zhen also knew the truth about it, and had been devastated before. From the beginning to the present, the entire Sichuan Army was still a war consumable in the eyes of the Nationalist Government.

Yang Fan took a deep breath and said: "What's so strange about this, there has never been love for no reason in this world, only eternal interests.

It is understandable that people want the war to last as long as possible, and want to drain the last drop of oil and water from the participating countries before it can end. "?

After a pause, Yang Fan laughed at himself: "Our ancestors said a good saying, Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by the forest wind, who said that we are indeed strong and eye-catching enough now, so that others have different ideas,

Well, that's right, such a rhythm is in their best interest. "

"Damn it! These politicians have a lot of gossip!"

Yang Chengliang couldn't help but swear, if not for Stilwell, an American friend, by his side, he would have uttered even worse words.

"Hey, yes, I didn't expect it to be like this! The world is as black as crows!"

Stilwell finally understood that it was indeed for this reason that Washington vetoed his opinion and began to get stuck in the neck of the Myanmar theater.

Thinking of this, Stilwell immediately showed sadness on his face. He originally thought that only the corrupt and incompetent national government and the short-sighted British would have these intrigues.

But he never imagined that the great and bright American government would be like this. Even before the war was over and the world security situation was gloomy, it would start playing tricks.

Seeing that Stilwell was depressed and unhappy, Yang Fan comforted him with a smile: "Old friend, don't be discouraged and sad, maybe this is life!"

Stilwell smiled in front of him and said, "Thank you for the comfort, I'm fine, and I'm not a three-year-old child. However, the situation has changed now, and the battle in Myanmar is still at a critical moment, how should we deal with it?"

Chapter 1005 hit it off

Yang Fan patted Stilwell on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, half of Myanmar's industrial bases are our own factories, and the materials and equipment produced by these factories are of course up to us.

With our current industrial technology reserves, we can further deepen the industrial chain and expand the production scale by self-reliance, which is enough for the logistics supply of our Myanmar theater.

As for the leased factories aided by the American government, they will be implemented according to the current lease contract. Anyway, they are all for the purpose of resisting Japan! "

Although Yang Fan is not an industrial technical talent, nor has excellent industrial management ability, he is a modern person at any rate, with concepts and vision far ahead of the current era.

Coupled with the existence of the system, Yang Fan can create a highly efficient modern production system and quality management system.

Therefore, even if the overall production scale may not be able to catch up with Japan, as long as the northern Myanmar industrial zone built adhering to the idea of ​​large-scale industry is completed, it will be able to completely surpass Japan's small workshop production in terms of efficiency and quality.

Myanmar is endowed with abundant natural resources such as rubber, crude oil, coal mines and iron ore, as well as a nearly inexhaustible mass of human resources. The Northern Myanmar Industrial Zone can maximize the advantages of concentrated utilization of resources, so the development potential is amazing. .

As long as the operation is done well, Yang Fan can support the consumption of the entire Southeast Asian battlefield with just the industrial base in Myanmar. Even if the Germans enter the Middle East in the future and start marching towards India and Myanmar, he can turn his back to support Britain and the United States. Allied forces resist the Germans.

It is precisely because of seeing this that the U.S. government dared to get stuck in the neck of the Myanmar theater at this time and play a game of checks and balances with the China theater.

However, even if the Americans don't play balance, Yang Fan will not do things too extreme, although it is said that there will never be too much material and equipment, and Yang Fan can make the best use of everything to play a greater role.

However, the national government's ability to bear it and the needs of the domestic battlefield must be considered. After all, the biggest enemy of the Chinese nation is the Japanese. As for internal conflicts, that is a matter of the future.

Besides, in terms of conventional weapons, Yang Fan is really not interested in those weapons and equipment that are almost eliminated from the production line.

What Yang Fan is most in short supply now is high-tech equipment such as airplanes, tanks, rocket launchers, self-propelled artillery, ships, etc., and these equipment cannot be obtained from the Americans, and must be self-reliant.

Hearing what Yang Fan said with confidence, Stilwell finally felt relieved again, nodded and said, "That's good! Yang, you go ahead, I have to reply the telegram to Washington now."

After Stilwell walked away, Yang Chengliang sighed softly and said: "The U.S. government has started to play checks and balances now, and the future war situation will be complicated."

Yang Fan nodded lightly and said, "Well, this is like the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period in Chinese history. The relationship between countries is very complicated and cannot be summed up in one word.

And after doing this, our relationship with the U.S. government can no longer be as harmonious and happy as it used to be, and there will be guard and grudges between us.

But it is simple and simple. In the final analysis, even if the U.S. government wants to reap the benefits, it does not dare to tear its face too far. After all, the Axis Alliance is the number one enemy of the Allied Forces at this stage.

Once you play too much, you can only shoot yourself in the foot. "

Li Zongren answered angrily: "These foreigners are a nest of snakes and rats, and none of them is a good bird. Before that, they spoke better than anyone else, making it seem like they are really hard-core allies of the same camp. As a result, they just started to improve. Be careful!"

"People who are not of my race must have a different mind. What's so strange about it? In this world, only benefits are eternal, so no matter when and where, it is always better to ask for others than to ask for yourself!"

Yang Fan smiled lightly, turned to look at Li Zongren and said, "Brother Delin, I've been thinking about one thing recently, and I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zongren regained his spirits immediately, and asked with a smile: "Commander Yang, we are all on our own, so please tell me if you have anything to do!"

"Haha, brother Delin is serious!"

Yang Fan pursed his lips and smiled, and then said: "It's like this, the construction of the industrial base in Myanmar has been mostly completed, and I plan to allocate part of my energy to your Guangxi for construction when the construction here is almost complete.

Let Guangxi also become a strong anti-war base. Once the conditions are ripe, we can bloom more and launch a comprehensive strategic counter-offensive against the Japanese invaders at the same time. "

"What? Really?"

Li Zongren's head was buzzing suddenly, and he looked at it with wide eyes: "Can we really build Guangxi into a paradise like the Shandong Peninsula?"

After a pause, Li Zongren said hastily: "It's just that it can't compare with the Shandong Peninsula, and it's fine if it can be compared with Myanmar now!"

In July 1938, Li Zongren went to Gaomi, Shandong Province for treatment due to a recurrence of toothache. Turn my hometown of Guangxi into a paradise like the Shandong Peninsula.

Yang Fan nodded and said: "Although this goal is not easy to achieve, it is completely achievable as long as we work together!"

"That's great! It's really great! I've been looking forward to this day for a long time! Commander Yang, on behalf of the more than 1400 million people in Guangxi, I thank you for your great kindness!"

Hearing Yang Fan's affirmative answer, Li Zongren was so excited that he held Yang Fan's hand tightly and said solemnly: "I can still keep my word in Guangxi. Please rest assured, Commander Yang. We will fully cooperate with Commander Yang and ensure that orders are strictly prohibited. Everything is under Commander Yang's arrangement!"

"it is good!"

Yang Fan smiled, and then gave a friendly reminder: "However, there is something to be said first, once the construction operation starts, it means that Guangxi will become a thorn in the side of the Japanese, and it is very likely that the Japanese devils will focus on their attacks. "

Li Zongren patted his chest again and assured him: "Commander Yang, please don't worry, our Guangxi wolf soldiers are not screaming for nothing. The devils landed in Qisha and Longmen Port in Qinzhou Bay the year before last, all the way to Fangcheng County, Qin County and other places, even Later even Nanning was occupied.

But so what?Wasn't he driven out of Guangxi by our Guangxi wolf soldiers?These bastards want to play wild in Guangxi, they found the wrong person! "

After a pause, Li Zongren said in an extremely serious tone: "

As long as Commander Yang can help us train our army more and build more fortification systems, our Guangxi wolf soldiers will never let the Japanese devils step into our Guangxi.

Even if the devils gather heavily one day, even if we die together, we will never let the beautiful homeland we have built so hard be cheap to the Japanese devils. "

Chapter 1006 Happy Family

"Okay! That's good! It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Anyway, I'm free now, so let's discuss the details while the iron is hot."

Yang Fan nodded happily. The so-called crowd gathers firewood like a flame, and the power of the masses is infinite. Now that we have the conditions to open up another anti-war base in Guangxi, we must hurry up.

"..."

Sun Zhen looked enviously at Li Zongren who was howling with excitement, and really wanted to say something to Yang Fan so that he could also take him to his hometown.

Although Sun Zhen has never been to the Shandong Peninsula and cannot imagine what kind of situation it is, but just from the prosperous status quo of the industrial zone in northern Myanmar, he can know that it must be an unbelievably beautiful paradise.

That's right, Myanmar's current overall economic situation and happiness index are far inferior to the Shandong Peninsula, which has been in business for many years, but it is no exaggeration to say that in Myanmar, especially the key construction of the North Myanmar Industrial Zone, it has completely exploded in most cities in China. .

Not only is the law and order excellent, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can get a lot of economic income and enjoy a good material life with ample food and clothing.

These are beautiful lives that Sun Zhen has never seen in his travels, not to mention his poor and backward hometown in Sichuan.

But Sun Zhen is very clear that he is not Li Zongren, he does not have the ability to call the wind and rain in Sichuan, let alone set up a base like an independent kingdom.

Therefore, at this time, Sun Zhen could only quietly listen to Yang Fan's construction plan, and how Yang Fan would turn a poor and backward coastal province into a new and powerful anti-Japanese frontier base.
