Chapter 182 Roosevelt's Invitation

"He wants to occupy Myanmar? He is there to establish his own power. Don't he want to return to China?" Admiral Marshall was a little surprised.

"Qin and his officers were abandoned by the Expeditionary Force and asked them to block Japan himself. After completing the mission of a lifetime of death, they had no sense of belonging to the Expeditionary Force and the National Government. What's more, the situation in China is too complicated. Qin is a smart man and does not want to get involved. So he simply planned to stay in Myanmar." Lieutenant General Stilwell explained.

Admiral Marshall nodded, and he could understand this.

"Myanmar was originally a British colony. If the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army could establish its own country there, it would be of great help to weaken the British's strength." General Marshall said.

As the chief of staff of the US military, General Marshall knew President Roosevelt's plan. With the help of this war, he would weaken Britain's strength and then give the United States to the throne of the world's hegemony. This is the purpose of President Roosevelt's fight against this war.

"Of course, the prerequisite is that the country they established must be pro-American." Admiral Marshall added.

"We are responsible for the weapons, equipment, war supplies, and military pay of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. We have controlled this army. If they do not listen to us, we can completely let them destroy at any time." Lieutenant General Stilwell said with a smile.

After all, the Americans actually regard the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army as pawns. When obedient and useful, they can meet the needs of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army and strongly support them. However, when they are disobedient or when they are useless, they can destroy the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army at any time.

Of course, neither General Marshall nor Lieutenant General Stilwell would have thought how great Qin Shou's ambition would be. What Qin Shou wanted was not just Burma. What he wanted was to include the entire Southeast Asian country in his own rule, and also the Philippines, a colony of the Americans.

The Americans regarded Qin Shou and the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army as pawns. Similarly, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army also hoped to use the Americans to further develop and grow. Otherwise, Qin Shou would not only achieve his goals, but to survive the attack of Japan himself, that would be the best.

"Chief of Staff, Qin wants to recruit those Chinese children to join the army in the United States to further strengthen their strength. I think this is completely feasible. As for the legal identities given to those Chinese after the war, we can completely agree to them temporarily. If the situation does not allow it, we can make excuses to repent." Lieutenant General Stilwell continued.

Admiral Marshall nodded, but did not object to this. The "Chinese Exclusion Act" restricts the development of those Chinese in the United States. Although this is very unfair to Chinese people, who cares about the interests of those Chinese?

"His Chief of Staff, the President wants to meet you and General Stilwell. The President is very interested in the battle situation in Myanmar." A staff officer reported.

"Okay, tell the President that we will go to the White House immediately," said Admiral Marshall.

Then, General Marshall and Lieutenant General Stilwell took a car to the White House.

President Roosevelt summoned General Stilwell on a whim. In fact, he was not satisfied with General Stilwell's performance before. Chairman Jiang, the commander of the Chinese theater, was very dissatisfied with General Stilwell and had expressed his intention to replace General Stilwell. However, President Roosevelt was not determined.

Now, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, supported by General Stilwell, won a great victory on the battlefield in Myanmar, which made President Roosevelt temporarily suppress the intention of replacing General Stilwell.

After meeting General Stilwell, President Roosevelt asked about the Anti-Japanese and National Savior Army and Qin Shou, and Lieutenant General Stilwell answered one by one.

"A very interesting little guy, who is ambitious and capable at the same time. It seems that our West Point Military Academy is indeed a place to cultivate outstanding talents!" President Roosevelt sighed.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President. The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army did perform very well on the battlefield in Myanmar. If we give them more support, I believe that they will exert greater combat effectiveness and drag more Japanese people down. This will undoubtedly be very beneficial for us to defeat Japan himself." Lieutenant General Stilwell took the opportunity to say.

President Roosevelt nodded: "General Marshall, since the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army showed strong combat effectiveness, then we should give them more support. Such investment will not lose money."

"Yes, Your Excellency the President." Admiral Marshall nodded.

"General Stilwell, to be honest, your previous performance in the Chinese theater and the Southeast Asian theater did not satisfy me. However, you did very well in supporting the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. I hope that you can play a greater role in the Chinese theater and the Southeast Asian theater in the future." President Roosevelt reminded.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President." Lieutenant General Stilwell knew about Chairman Chiang's report. He was still scared about this. If it weren't for the sudden emergence of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, which made him regain his face and get extra points, President Roosevelt would probably not be so easy to talk to.

"By the way, General Stilwell, after you go back, please invite me to the little guy. Visit the United States at the right time." President Roosevelt said.

Lieutenant General Stilwell was shocked. Unexpectedly, President Roosevelt seemed to be very optimistic about Qin Shou, but on the surface, he showed nothing and just said he would do it.

This meeting did not last much. Soon, General Marshall and Lieutenant General Stilwell bid farewell and left.

"What an interesting little guy. I want to see what he can develop in Southeast Asia after gaining support from the United States." President Roosevelt murmured.

Qin Shou and the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army were just regarded as pawns by President Roosevelt. The development and growth of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army can threaten the Japanese army and reduce the pressure from the United States. Even if the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army is established in Myanmar in the future, it will harm the interests of the British. President Roosevelt naturally enjoyed seeing this.

However, because of President Roosevelt's optimism, the US military's support for the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army became stronger. The US military gave them the weapons, equipment and supplies that Qin Shou needed without any discount. The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army recruited troops in the United States and also carried out very smoothly with the support of the US Army General Staff. (To be continued.)
