    "The ambitions of the Chinese must be curbed. They have been hiding their power! They are extremely wary of us allies! And as far as I know, the rocket launchers they used to win this time are all the latest products of the Germans  ¡­Where did they get these things?¡± Churchill roared loudly.  But everyone knows that he doesn't care whether the Chinese use German things, and he doesn't care at all whether the Chinese are wary of the British. What he cares about is the reason He must pay attention to the British.  Find a justifiable reason to go back to Myanmar.  The former "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" was defeated by the Japanese in less than two months in Malaya; in Burma, it was defeated at the first contact with the Japanese army, and even died in an unnatural manner afterwards.  U.S. allies, if it weren't for the timely assistance from the Chinese, the U.S. military that finally escaped from the Philippines might really have been wiped out It can be said that Britain's performance in Southeast Asia is worse than that of a pig.  Of course, if the war in Southeast Asia ends here, the British will not be so passive. They can list a series of reasons to defend themselves.  But the problem is, the Chinese intervened.  The total time for the two battles is less than a month, and the total time for the actual battle may be less than a week.  The Empire of Japan, which once defeated the British army in Southeast Asia and was unable to fight back, was beaten to a pulp by the Chinese.  Temple Shouichi, who was originally very proud, could only retreat to Siam from Bago and other places with the remaining defeated troops in the blink of an eye.  Because Yangon has been captured by the Chinese airborne troops, his supply line has been cut off, and there are nearly 200,000 Chinese troops approaching from the north In order to preserve the remaining troops, he can only escape.  But as soon as he ran away, he took away all the British people's already scant face.  Churchill didn¡¯t care about that.     In his opinion.  Face is not important, the most important thing is profit.  He must not allow the Chinese to take advantage of Britain's withdrawal to occupy Southeast Asia.  To achieve this goal, he once again hurried from London to Washington.  Because only by convincing Roosevelt could he do this.  But Roosevelt¡¯s attitude towards him was much worse than before.  "Our Congress believes that it is far safer to hand over Southeast Asia to the Chinese than to the British. And many of our members also believe that the Chinese are more trustworthy!" "Trust? Trust a group of people who can get the latest German weapons at this time  People?" Churchill's tone was full of ridicule, "Mr. President, can't you even see the ambitions of the Chinese? They are already more dangerous than the Japanese!" "Mr. Prime Minister, the Chinese are indeed using the latest products produced by Germany.  Rocket launchers. But the problem is that they are using these shells against the German allies! Their anti-fascist stance is extremely clear!" Roosevelt spread his hands, "But what about our troops in the Philippines?  One-third of the casualties were in Myanmar. This is a huge loss that they have never suffered in the Philippines. How do you want me to explain it to Congress and the American people? "I have ordered Myanmar to do so!"  Alexander tried to save the US military at all costs, but I hope you can understand that theyare really not good." Churchill sighed, looking embarrassed.  "I can understand your difficulties, but Congress can't understand it, and neither can the American people." Roosevelt said.  "Give us some time and we will prove it with actual actions. The British Empire is the most trustworthy ally of the United States." Churchill said seriously.  "You mean North Africa?" Roosevelt asked.  "Yes," Churchill said, disregarding the calculation and also not daring to keep the secret from Roosevelt, "We are almost ready in Egypt and will launch an attack on the Italians soon. Believe me, we will not fail this time."  "I know that there is a big gap between your troops in Egypt and Myanmar in terms of equipment and quality of soldiers, but the Italians have a lot of troops in Libya, and they can get support from the Germans anywhere." Roosevelt obviously did not believe Churchill.  In fact, he is not the only one who has this kind of thinking, even the British themselves are almost losing confidence in themselves The enemy that the Chinese can defeat in just a few days actually makes the British Empire unable to resist it for two months.  Although the British government desperately takes credit for itself in terms of propaganda.  It is said that this is all because the British and Burmese troops consumed a large amount of the Japanese army, which gave the Chinese an opportunity, but you have to have someone to believe this.  Anyway, the British themselves don¡¯t believe much.  And if you can't even deceive your own people, how many outsiders can you deceive?  "As long as we can win the battle against the Italians, then we can seize Libya and cut off the Germans' oil supply." Churchill said, "And as long as we?If this can be done, all that remains is the war against Europe.  " "" Roosevelt pondered. He knew what Churchill meant. Bradley, the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, has always criticized the British for concentrating a large number of troops and equipment in North Africa. In his view, if they want to fight, they will  We should directly attack Europe first, and seize the time to seize an advance base on the European continent while the main force of the German army is still entangled with the Soviet Union in the northwest But the British government intends to open up the battlefield in North Africa first to ensure the Suez Canal.  The two sides were at loggerheads with each other to ensure the safety of the colonies, and Bradley was not a person like Eisenhower who was good at resolving conflicts. Although he was very talented, he was more serious and focused on rules and regulations Not long ago.  , he had just dealt with a deputy division commander named Roosevelt of a certain division. This deputy division commander was the son of President Roosevelt. He showed off his power in front of the troops, was arrogant and unreasonable, openly despised the soldiers and provoked trouble. Therefore, Bradley was not at all affected.  He bombarded it back to the homeland unceremoniously, without even showing favor to the President of the United States. This shows Bradley's persistence in principles. As a result, the Allies began to engage in internal strife before they even started taking action.  In addition to having a headache, Roosevelt couldn't help but be full of resentment towards the British It's fine if you know how to fight, but it turns out that your fighting skills are not very good. In this case, why are you so selfish?  After conquering Germany, what can you do? But since they are going to war in Europe, they cannot leave the support of the United Kingdom. Therefore, he suggested that Bradley could make some concessions, but he did not expect that Bradley thought that doing so would harm his status.  The prestige of the Allied Commander-in-Chief may also cause the United States to lose its dominance in this war. Just like in World War I, the Americans contributed money and efforts, but in the end they were driven back by the alliance of Britain, France and other countries.  The New World So he refused to carry out Roosevelt's order. As a result, the two sides were in a stalemate again. The dispatch of troops to Europe was postponed indefinitely, and because there was no war, a large number of American soldiers were eating, drinking and having fun in Britain.  , and caused countless conflicts. But now it seems that in order to prevent the loss of interests in Southeast Asia, Churchill has already made concessions. After the battle in Egypt is over, he will fully support the opening of the European battlefield This should allow him to make concessions.  Did Bradley give in? After all, the importance of Libya is self-evident. It is the oil supply base for the Germans After all, Roosevelt did not think about it for too long before making the decision to support Churchill.  The main target was Europe. Although they were tricked by the British in Asia, Churchill also gave in and promised that after regaining Burma, he would send Alexander to the front line in Egypt and no longer let him stay in Burma to continue to disgust the United States.  People. But there is another question: How will the Chinese react? It is absolutely impossible to threaten the Japanese with force. The Chinese can defeat the Japanese in less than two months.  Military If they use force, the British themselves will think it is a big joke. And if the Chinese are offended, who knows what these people will do?  Judging from the tough attitude shown by these yellow people during this period, it may not be impossible to suddenly turn their backs and attack India. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of?empty talk and telling the Chinese that Myanmar should be a British colony and that they should let it out?  No matter how thick-skinned Churchill was, he could not afford to disgrace this man.  Of course, this is mainly because both Churchill and Roosevelt understood that the Chinese government today is a little different from usual, and it is impossible to be deceived by a few empty promises. Otherwise, they will do this no matter how embarrassing they are.  And apart from these two moves, only the exchange of interests remains.  The British government promised a loan of up to 20 million pounds, and also agreed to let China receive all the weapons abandoned by the British and Burmese troops in Myanmar As soon as this condition was proposed, He Yingqin, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, proposed another proposal to the British government.  One request: The British and Burmese soldiers captured by the Japanese have been rescued by Chinese airborne troops, but they still need up to 10 million pounds of food and medicine.  Reason: "You surrendered too many soldiers and they were too good to eat, and the Japanese were hungry and they were too hungry!" The British government lost face!  The Chinese government has also expressed its attitude.  Afterwards, a regiment of the Yunnan Army followed the road that the British and Burmese troops had taken to escape to India, blocking Alexander, who was about to "recover" Burma, and prevented his return on the grounds that the British "could not protect Burma".  Although Alexander threatened him in every possible way, he did not dare to take the initiative to provoke him.  And then, the United States stepped in to mediate.  Soon, after discussions, China agreed to the return of British troops to Myanmar, but also put forward preconditions: Britain and the United States must once again provide 300,000 tons of military supplies and equipment for an army group, as well as 300 B-17 bombers.  , in addition toThe Chinese military will also control the Ren'anqiang Oilfield until the war!  It can be said that China¡¯s requirements are very demanding.  But Britain and the United States agreed after a little bargaining.  After learning the news, the Chinese Expeditionary Force immediately adjusted its speed. After Alexander returned to Myanmar, it began to quickly evacuate north The British side was immediately in a panic, because the Japanese troops retreating to Siam had taken action again.
