    Chapter 1,156 The Americans have changed their tactics

    By the morning of August 20, there was no movement at all in the direction of Burma. No news came from the American intelligence network in Indochina or Colonel Whitney, the Allied field supervisor sent to Burma.  This means that the ** division troops did not take any military action at all.  .

    MacArthur finally understood that the Chinese people ignored his order to suppress it. He said that he refused to carry out the order. There was also a refusal, but Tang Qiuli simply acted as if nothing had happened.  , a big stone that MacArthur thought was very important, did not stir up the slightest ripples.

    MacArthur was furious. In the magnificent headquarters, he banged the table and shouted, "This is an act of blatant disregard for the Allied headquarters. This is a blatant disobedience of military orders. I want to report to the Allied forces in China and the Southeast Asian Theater  Commander-in-chief Jiang, accuse this behavior and severely punish Tang Qiuli in accordance with relevant military laws! "Why do these words sound so familiar?

    Stilwell could tell that this was the same as when Alexander issued an order to Tang Qiuli, but it ended in vain. The British man also let go of similar cruel words. He silently listened to the furious MacArthur, who was making nonsense.  , In fact, Stilwell also roughly expected this result. However, he and the furious MacArthur were not on the same page, so there was no further reminder.

    Talking too much aroused the resentment of his immediate superiors. Like Stilwell, there were also a large group of senior US military officers in the war room, looking at their commander-in-chief, whose face was livid with anger. According to MacArthur's temper, he was really  I wanted to get on a plane and fly to Myanmar, and shoot that hateful Chinese Tang Qiuli in the head, so as to vent the evil spirit in my heart.

    For many years in Southeast Asia, MacArthur had never suffered such an insult, especially the Chinese who he despised. The insult brought to him was intolerable. The table was slapped and his temper was lost. But the problem must be solved eventually, and the U.S. military  The Southeast Asia and South Pacific regional headquarters is too far away from Myanmar. Otherwise, MacArthur would definitely knock on the door and ask Tang Qiuli for questioning.  .

    "Generals, what do you think of the behavior of that hateful Chinese Tang Qiuli? Is there any appropriate way to solve this problem?" MacArthur asked. More than a dozen American generals looked at each other. If it were not for the commander-in-chief,  The allied theater commanders didn't even know that there was Chinese Tang Qiuli's troops in Indochina.

    Burma, that is a remote and poor place, none of them have been there, MacArthur asked these people, it was the question on the back of his head, looking at these shining generals, each one was silent, MacArthur felt a little nervous  Discouraged, he turned his attention to Stilwell. Among these people, only this Texan boy whom he didn't like had ever dealt with Tang Qiuli. Moreover, Stilwell was also the chief of staff of the Allied Forces China and Southeast Asia Theater.  .

    Tang Qiuli slapped himself hard. You, Stilwell, wanted to hide aside and watch the excitement. You are so beautiful!  MacArthur asked: "General Stilwell, you should know about this Chinese Tang Qiuli. According to your opinion, how should we handle this matter? I need to remind you that the general is still the chief of staff of the theater. This is also your responsibility.  scope!"

    Stilwell smiled bitterly. It seems that he can't escape. Is there any good way? You, MacArthur, just want the Chinese and Japanese to hurt both sides so that you can reap the benefits. You can use such a strategy, that Tang Qiuli,  Your conspiracy can be seen through. The best way is for us, the United States, to send troops to Indochina and form a pincer attack with the Chinese on the Japanese army. Only then can we solve the potential threat from the Japanese once and for all.

    But Stilwell could not say any of these words. He was silent for a while and said: "General, my opinion is very simple. We need to sit down and have a face-to-face talk with Tang Qiuli to see what the Chinese need and find out what they need."  What we have in common is not to issue orders thousands of kilometers apart. From what I know about Tang Qiuli, he is a very proud man and the most powerful person in the Republic of China at present, our Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek.  There is no way to restrict any of his actions.¡±

    This statement is very straightforward. It means that it is very inappropriate to accuse MacArthur. It also indirectly tells MacArthur not to shut up in Mani and be the boss who feels good about himself. Even their boss, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, dare not touch him.  Tang Qiuli's rebelliousness, not to mention, you, an American, Stilwell is also willing to go all out. Anyway, he is not favored by this arrogant boss in the US military headquarters. He can say both good and bad things. If you can return home because of this, then  It's better to go with what you want than to be in this place where the emperor is far away and feel cowardly.

    MacArthur's face was filled with anger. He suppressed it and swallowed a fire in his stomach. Stilwell's words were very unpleasant, but they were not unreasonable at all. The British left in the Tang and Autumn Period.In his hands, he suffered a hidden loss. He knew something about it. He could get the Chinese to send troops to fight with the Japanese, so why not lower his body?

    At this time, MacArthur's political nature prevailed. He even thought that as long as Tang Qiuli took action against the Japanese, he might as well give the weapons and equipment given to Chairman Chiang to Tang Qiuli. As long as the United States did not send troops to fight with Japan  In a personal confrontation, MacArthur can make appropriate concessions. As for Tang Qiuli's insult to him, he will never forget it. As long as there is a chance, he will definitely get it back. Other book friends are reading:.

    MacArthur rolled his gray-blue eyes and said: "This proposal is very good. After all, it involves a large-scale military operation. We need to sit down and have a good talk with the Chinese. General Stilwell, it is your turn to use the Allied Forces in China and Southeast Asia."  It¡¯s time to assume the authority of the chief of staff of the theater. Before the end of August, the highest military meeting of the allied theater will be held in Mani. All senior officers of the allied forces above the major general level must participate. Of course, Tang Qiuli must attend.  Let¡¯s leave this matter to the Chief of Staff, adjourn the meeting!¡±

    After MacArthur finished speaking, he twisted his plump body and left without looking back. The officers also dispersed in a hurry, leaving only Stilwell with his eyes straight, swallowing and spitting. There is no doubt that this is a man.  It was a very difficult job. To put it bluntly, this military conference was held for Tang Qiuli. The purpose of MacArthur was to use this military conference to pressure Tang Qiuli to go to war with the Japanese army in Burma. Moreover, it was in the American  Within the sphere of influence, MacArthur took full advantage of his home field and was also very good at engaging in intrigues and intrigues.

    But the crux of the matter is, can Tang Qiuli see through MacArthur's intentions? If so, would he travel thousands of kilometers to Mani and be willing to be persecuted?  If Tang Qiu Li can't come, even if thousands of people are summoned to the meeting, what's the point?  Stilwell was almost worried to death. He crossed his hands and put them in his hair, leaning his head on the table, almost roaring with depression.

    He stayed in the US military headquarters until dark. The lights in the yard cast mottled tree shadows on the wall of the conference room. It was not until the young officer on duty poked his head into the conference room and looked into the conference room countless times that Stilwell became filled with worry.  Jie left and continued to think hard about how to get Tang Qiuli to come to Mani and participate in this bullshit military meeting.

    Stilwell was almost heartbroken with worry, and MacArthur could not sleep. He had been thinking about a problem. How could there be no news from his confidant, field supervisor Whitney, in Tang Qiuli's army sent to Burma?  No news at all?  What unexpected thing happened in Myanmar?

    Colonel Whitney, who was missed by General MacArthur in every possible way, could not reach Myitkyina at all. Tang Qiuli's headquarters, Whitney and a group of six people took a US military plane from Mani and landed at Kunming Airport to come.  The Americans were greeted by Colonel Shen Jun, the director of the Investigation Division of the Army. Other book friends were reading:.

    Shen Jun made a special trip to Kunming to pick up the Americans according to the instructions of the division commander Tang Qiuli. This was also due to a telegram from MacArthur, "Allied field supervisor Colonel Whitney and a group of six people will be sent to the Burma War to supervise the war."  All the operations of the Chinese ** team against the Japanese army," and also specifically stated, "Colonel Whitney, while in Burma, will represent himself and exercise authority. In other words, Whitney is Commander MacArthur's imperial envoy, so he will  I don¡¯t have the power to kill first and then report later.¡±

    After reading the telegram sent by Chen Feng, Tang Qiuli simply said four words, "It's irritating and ridiculous," and then said to Chen Feng: "Order Shen Jun to go to Kunming to pick up these Americans and get them  Lock them up in a secluded place and cut off all contact with the outside world, but do it smartly and don't bother to talk to them and affect your mood! "

    When Whitney and his party got off the military plane, they saw the people who came to greet them. It was not what they imagined. It was a lively scene of huge crowds of people. There was no intention of Chinese officers lining up to welcome them. There was just a young Chinese colonel officer. At that time, I felt very unhappy.  , he represents the boss of MacArthur, and all Chinese troops are under his supervision. After following MacArthur for a long time, Whitney has also learned the arrogance of his boss and his contempt for the Chinese.

    Shen Jun stepped forward and said politely: "Your Excellency, Colonel, on behalf of General Tang Qiuli, commander of the ** Division, I am here to welcome you to the Burma theater to supervise operations." Whitney rolled her light blue eyes and stared at  Shen Jun was waiting for Shen Jun to salute him first. Shen Jun smiled and gave Whitney a standard military salute. Then, he turned aside and said, "Please get in the car!"

    However, Whitney was immersed in the joy of having the upper hand in the first game. He thought that he should give the Chinese a showdown first and win a round first. Since their military ranks were equal, the Chinese would salute him first, but he did not see that Shen  There was a fleeting hint of irony in Jun's smile.

    Three military jeeps, escorted by four trucks full of soldiers, quickly drove out of Kunming towards the Yunnan-Myanmar border. Colonel Whitney, who was smug because he had the upper hand, said:Li knew that this was not the direction to Myitkyina at all, but the way to Tengchong, a small town in western Yunnan.
