Chapter 112 Full support
"Steven, are you sure the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army is a powerful army that dares to fight against the Japanese army without fear of death?" Lieutenant General Stilwell asked anxiously.
"Yes, General, I'm sure. At least, their main forces are all brave soldiers. I have witnessed their battles with the Japanese army. Those soldiers performed very well, and were completely different from the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force we had seen before." Major Steven said affirmatively. He knew that Lieutenant General Stilwell was already moved.
"God! This is really unbelievable. Will those cowardly Chinese people have such a powerful army?" Lieutenant General Stilwell sighed.
"However, General, after I left Myitkyina, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army destroyed tens of thousands of Japanese troops one after another, which would definitely cause a crazy counterattack from the Japanese army. It is still difficult to say whether they can resist the Japanese counterattack." Major Steven showed a trace of worry.
Although Major Steven had nothing to do with the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. However, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army saved him and sent someone to escort him to India. This undoubtedly had great favors for him. What's more, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was also very important to the United States.
"Steven, if it is really as you said, that person named Qin Shou should have a way to overcome the difficulties." Lieutenant General Stilwell had some confidence in Qin Shou, whom he had never met.
Major Steven nodded: "General, Qin Shou said that they will not fight against the Japanese in Myitkyina. At the right time, they will evacuate Myitkyina and retreat westward."
"Well, it's very good. Don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, and keeping the vitality is the most important thing." Lieutenant General Stilwell nodded repeatedly.
"However, General. The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army did not have supplies, and all supplies and weapons and equipment were captured from the Japanese army. They seized a large number of Japanese weapons in Myitkyina. However, after a series of battles, they probably consumed almost the same amount. Therefore, Qin Shou hopes that we can support them." Major Steven expressed his main purpose.
Lieutenant General Stilwell has long guessed this. For a unit, supply is very important. Without supply, what can I use to fight? Especially for a unit like the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, the connection with the country has long been cut off, and the only thing they can rely on is the United States.
From the perspective of the United States, if you want to change the current situation in Myanmar, you must support the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. As for the British and Expeditionary Forces, in Lieutenant General Stilwell's view, it is simply a mud that cannot be supported by the wall.
"Steven, if the combat effectiveness of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army is really so strong, so powerful that it can help us defeat Japan and change the situation in Myanmar, it is natural to support them." Lieutenant General Stilwell said.
"General, this is definitely an extremely wise decision. I personally think that it is definitely more cost-effective to use our weapons and equipment to support the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army than to support the British and National Army." Steven said quickly.
Lieutenant General Stilwell nodded. As the person in charge of the distribution of US aid materials, he largely determined who these materials should support. Of course, the prerequisite is to obtain domestic consent. U.S. Army Chief of Staff General Marshall is his good friend, and General MacArthur, commander of the South Pacific War Zone, also had a good personal relationship with him. Therefore, Lieutenant General Stilwell was not afraid of those at all.
"General, Qin Shou is a soldier who has studied in the United States. His knowledge is not comparable to those of the corrupt generals of China. Therefore, if we fool them according to the old routine, it would be very difficult. Qin Shou told me that he hoped that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army would become an American armed force, and a real American armed force, rather than a castrated American armed force like the Expeditionary Force." Steven continued.
Lieutenant General Stilwell couldn't help but frowned. The weapons and equipment and supplies were aided by the US government. They would aid whatever they wanted, and as much as they wanted. When it was the turn of the aided person to speak out and ask for conditions.
"General, Qin Shou put forward those conditions entirely because he wanted to defeat Japan himself in Myanmar." After seeing Lieutenant General Stilwell's face, Major Steven said quickly. He has been an adjutant of Lieutenant General Stilwell, and he is very clear about Lieutenant General Stilwell's character.

"Come here, find a way to figure out the latest situation in Myanmar, especially an army called the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, focusing on collecting their intelligence." Lieutenant General Stilwell ordered.
If we really want to provide them with real American military equipment according to the wishes of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, we must determine whether they have the value of support.
The US military officers immediately went to collect information on these aspects.
"Steven, how do you feel about that person Qin Shou?" Lieutenant General Stilwell continued to ask.
"General, although Qin Shou is not old, he is very mature. He has a deep hatred towards Japan himself. They never need to be captured when fighting against the Japanese army. All the Japanese prisoners captured were killed."
Lieutenant General Stilwell had no objection to this. He had long known that the hatred between the Chinese and Japanese people had long risen to the point of not ending.
"In addition, Qin Shou did not seem to agree with the National Government. He once revealed that he would not return to China to fight a civil war after leading the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army to defeat Japan and the United States. He looked like he was a local tyrant in Southeast Asia."
"Oh? This is very interesting." Lieutenant General Stilwell was even more curious. He was originally worried that after the US aid to fight against Japan and the National Salvation Army became stronger, this would further enhance China's domestic military strength.
After all, Lieutenant General Stilwell disliked Chairman Chiang.
If Qin Shou and the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army did not return to their country, they could support it. After all, Southeast Asia was originally the territory of the British. The United States also wanted to destroy this and shake the foundation of the British, so as to determine the status of the United States as the world hegemony after the war.
Not long after, an officer took a piece of intelligence and sent it to Lieutenant General Stilwell.
"General, this is the latest information coming from the country."
Lieutenant General Stilwell opened the information and looked carefully. Soon, he became excited.
