    "What should we do, gentlemen?" After receiving the telegram from the other side of the Pacific, Roosevelt was in pain.  But while he was angry at the Chinese people's tone of not giving any face, he couldn't help but feel angry at Stilwell's actions 30,000 US troops, how could such a small force withstand anything?  And based on the "no benefit to others, only self-interest" temper that the Chinese have shown during this period, if after these 30,000 US troops enter Myanmar, they still refuse to support the British, then these 30,000 US troops will  What will it be like for the soldiers?  After escaping in the Philippines, do we have to go to Myanmar again to try the fate of being attacked or even surrounded by the Japanese, or even captured?  "I object to Stilwell's misbehavior." Compared with Roosevelt who was just angry, Secretary of State Hull was angry.  On anti-fascist battlefields around the world, the situation for the Allies was extremely unfavorable.  The Soviet Union had almost no resistance to the German offensive, and Stalin might not even be able to protect his own food and oil production areas.  If that is the case, then when the Germans come back, the pressure on the British will increase several times compared to the last time they faced the German army.  Because the German army was already organizing the captured Soviet surrender troops and using these people to form new troops.  Just like the Japanese used Siberian labor reform prisoners to form a southward force to attack Australia.  It is conceivable that with the huge population base of the Soviet Union, once Stalin failed to hold on and the huge red empire fell, the German military strength would suddenly more than double.  At that time, the United States will be able to allocate most of its power to Europe.  In this way, they can only rely on China to resist the equally arrogant Japanese in Asia.  Therefore, building a good relationship with China has become something they must do.  To be honest, Hull really doesn¡¯t want to deal with the Chinese if it doesn¡¯t benefit himself.  Because it is too much trouble.  If other countries in the world fell to that point, most areas would fall.  I'm afraid they have surrendered long ago.  But the Chinese still refused to say anything, and were even critical of their aid But the problem is, they still have nothing to do with the Chinese.  People are already like that, they have nothing to throw away and nothing to throw away. Even if you don¡¯t help, they won¡¯t fight?  What's more, the United States didn't provide much aid to China before, but in the end the Chinese fought back and beat the Japanese hard several times, and they performed pretty well.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: In Hull¡¯s eyes, the Chinese people are now ¡°poor and tyrannical¡±, and the poorer they are, the more tyrannical they will be¡­ if possible.  He would definitely teach these guys a profound lesson, but he couldn't.  The United States has entered the war, so they cannot abandon the British Isles. If the British Isles are to be preserved, they must ensure the security of India and the Middle East.  That's right.  Churchill seemed very tough and said, "We will defend our homeland at all costs. We will fight on the beaches. We will fight on the landing grounds, in the fields, in the mountains, and in the streets. We will never surrender at any time, even if the whole of Britain  The island or most of the land is occupied, we are starving and cold, and all our overseas empire, armed and protected by the British fleet, will also continue to fight"  This is a very exciting statement, but the question is, can Churchill continue to be so tough, and can the British continue to be so tough?  After losing various supplies from India and oil from the Middle East.  I'm afraid those British soldiers will give up fighting first, just like that guy named Percival did in Malaya Of course, it would be okay if the United States could supply the needs of the entire United Kingdom, but that is obviously impossible.  Therefore, they must change their previous attitude towards the Chinese and make the Chinese feel respected by the United States.  But it was obvious that Stilwell, the chief of staff of the theater they sent, did not understand their spirit.  "I think Joseph was just afraid of losing Burma." Marshall also didn't expect that Stilwell would have such a quarrel with the Chinese government after arriving in China. When he thought of the sentence in the telegram sent by the Chinese government, "What we need is a staff officer."  Chief, not 'master'", he felt extremely ashamed and angry.  Responsibilities, responsibilities The people he sent were actually questioned as not being able to distinguish their own responsibilities. This was not only a denial of Stilwell, but also a question to him, the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army.  But what can he do?  At this time, we must bow to the Chinese, otherwise, Myanmar may be lost.  Compared with China, which still has millions of troops that can resist Japanese aggression, what does India have?  Although Wavell defeated the Italians in North Africa, didn't the Italians still seize the oil fields in Libya in the end?  In addition, the Japanese also used the gimmick of "national independence". The special envoy of the Japanese Emperor is said to be in frequent contact with the Indian National Congress "Afraid of losing Myanmar? Are you afraid of losing Myanmar to the point where you can antagonize the Chinese to this extent?  Hull said angrily, "He actually wants to use this method to force the Chinese? Doesn't he know that the Chinese don't care about this at all? According to their ambassador Yan, they don't eat this."¡®Set¡¯!  " "George," Roosevelt also looked at his most trusted chief of staff with a wry smile, "the Chinese actually said that Stilwell regarded himself as a 'master'!  I believe this may be their deliberate exaggeration, but the problem is that even if Stilwell's performance in China has not reached the point where he considers himself a master, the opposition between him and the Chinese must have been extremely fierce.  ¡­ That is Asia. China has millions of soldiers, but we only have 30,000. Moreover, these 30,000 soldiers are reserve forces that we plan to use to regain our own interests in the future.  He should distinguish priorities!  " "Okay, I can recall him!  "Marshall had no choice but to respond. "But if we recall Stilwell, we must send another person to replace him.  Hull said, "Who is suitable?"  " "The Chinese once chose two people by themselves Of course, this matter is still up to you, George, to decide.  "Roosevelt said to Marshall again. "Eisenhower is impossible. He has now gone to Australia and is helping MacArthur organize the battle against the Japanese.  Marshall smiled bitterly, "As for Chennault I know very little about him."  " "The most important thing is that the chief of staff we sent out will probably lead our young men to fight in Myanmar.  "Hull suddenly added, "After all, Stilwell has promised the British, and the British have also welcomed it.  It is impossible for us to go back on our word at this time.  " "There are 100,000 British troops in Burma. How long can they resist the Japanese?  "Roosevelt asked. "It probably won't be long.  Marshall shook his head and said, "Their performance in Southeast Asia is very disappointing."  Lieutenant General Arthur Percival, who had lost Malaya, was once the British leader's favorite choice for the Imperial Chief of Staff.  As for General Alexander, who is now commanding the battle in Myanmar, his troops were driven everywhere by the Japanese from the beginning.  ¡­ I suspect that within two months of what the Chinese expect, they may lose Yangon Port.  " " Yangon?  Hull frowned: "Have our supplies to assist the Chinese arrived?"  " "We have arrived at Yangon Port" Marshall paused, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, but in the end he told the truth: "The British have detained this batch of supplies!  " "What?" "Why?" Roosevelt and Hull were shocked at the same time. "Stilwell once reported to me via telegram that he believed this was a method used by the British to blackmail the Chinese.  I am afraid they want to borrow this batch of materials to achieve the purpose of forcing the Chinese to help them.  "Marshall replied with a wry smile. "What?  Hull shouted: "How could they do this?"  According to the agreement between the three countries, as long as this batch of materials is handed over to the Chinese, they must assist Myanmar.  Why do they still do this?  " "The British are worried that the Chinese will retreat.  Marshall said: "According to the report given to me by Stilwell, the British not only hope that the Chinese can help them repel the Japanese attack, but they are also worried that the Chinese have ambitions in Burma and will not leave once they come So,  They seized the supplies.  In this way, they can not only use this batch of materials as bait to force the Chinese to help them, but they can also use this batch of energy resources as a threat to force the Chinese to withdraw from Myanmar after the war.  " "Despicable!  "Hull was stunned. Even though he had been in charge of diplomatic work for many years, he had seen countless conspiracies and shameless behaviors, and he still found it incredible what the British did. No wonder the Chinese refused to send troops even if they died. If he did, he would  Don't do it! What do those British guys think of the Chinese? It's okay if you do this in normal times, but this is wartime! Can the Chinese afford to wait? "Stilwell?  Didn't you help the Chinese people fight for it?  He is the chief of staff of the Western Pacific Theater, and those supplies also supply our thirty thousand soldiers!  "Roosevelt also held back for a long time before he remembered what he wanted to ask, but his face was also a little pale Before they officially fought together, the Allies had already reached such a level of mutual distrust. After this battle, there would be no more  How to fight? "The British handed over all the supplies and equipment they gave us. As for the rest" Marshall shrugged, "He thinks the British method can be tried!  "My God" Hull covered his face, ashamed to see people. "Okay, George, send a telegram immediately to revoke the appointment of Lieutenant General Joseph Stilwell," Roosevelt breathed out lightly,  "As for the successorwho do you think can direct our young men to fight this battle with the Japanese?  Can I choose among the last military observation group that went to China?  " "The members of the last military observation group to China were all very outstanding. Except for Eisenhower and Ridgway, who have already arrived in Australia, everyone else has also arrived."Then we went to England.  "Marshall said. "Is there any suitable candidate?  "Roosevelt asked helplessly. "If it's just about fighting, there is still a candidate.  Marshall paused, "His name is George Smith Patton Jr.!"  "(To be continued)
