Chapter 184 Aid for the replacement of soldiers

"General Stilwell, the number of Chinese in Myanmar is small, but the Caiyun Province, which is not far apart, and the three southwestern provinces of China, have a large number of Chinese people. If the United States is willing to help us, we can recruit enough soldiers from China." Qin Shou told his plan.

"Recruiting troops from China?" Lieutenant General Stilwell frowned. Although, he had to admit that this was a good solution to the problem. But will Shancheng agree? It is unlikely to know without thinking. In addition, Lieutenant General Stilwell and Chairman Chiang are now in a state of equal strength. I want Chairman Chiang to agree to the anti-Japanese and national salvation army to recruit troops unless the sun strikes the west.

"Yes, General, this is the only way we can solve the problem of the soldiers."

"I know, but Chairman Jiang from Shancheng may not agree." Lieutenant General Stilwell said.

"I believe that the United States can definitely get Chairman Chiang to agree. If we can recruit enough troops from China, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army will add two infantry divisions. These troops will be reorganized into the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. After that, a second army of the same size will be formed. At that time, one army can be left to train in Myanmar, and another army will launch an attack on Thailand and the Malay Peninsula. Further end Japan's rule in the South China Sea." Qin Shou began to draw a beautiful blueprint for Lieutenant General Stilwell.

Lieutenant General Stilwell was undoubtedly attracted. If the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army could develop into two or three armies and hundreds of thousands of people, he could have fought a decisive battle with the Japanese Southern Army. He helped the United States to completely defeat Japan himself in the Pacific.

"The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army does need to grow and grow. However, based on my understanding, Chairman Jiang is a very stubborn person. It is really difficult to nodify him." Although Lieutenant General Stilwell hopes that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army will grow and grow as soon as possible and take on the main task of fighting against the Japanese army in the Nanyang region, he has no confidence in how to convince Chairman Jiang.

"General, northern Myanmar is about to be under our control. The Yunnan-Burma Highway will be opened again. All materials transported to China must pass through here. If Chairman Chiang agrees to our conditions, we can provide them with supplies. On the contrary, if you disagree, you can completely cut off the supply of supplies." Qin Shou said.

Although it is a bit unauthentic to do so. However, in order to develop and grow, Qin Shou had to come up with this bad plan.

Lieutenant General Stilwell nodded. Indeed, the power to distribute aid materials is in his hands. If he used this as a condition to ask Chairman Chiang to agree to the anti-Japanese and national salvation army to recruit troops in the country, Chairman Chiang would have no way to refuse.

As the Japanese offensive became more and more powerful, the pressure on the mountain city became greater and greater. The US aid became more and more important to the mountain city.

"Okay, Qin, I will contact Shancheng in this regard. I will make Chairman Jiang agree as much as possible." Lieutenant General Stilwell said.

"Thank you very much, General." Qin Shou hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"During this period, I will lead my army to attack south, defeat the Japanese army entrenched in southern Myanmar, and seize the entire Myanmar." Qin Shou continued.

He knew that what the Americans wanted to see was undoubtedly the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army that continuously launched attacks on the Japanese army, and then asked the Japanese army to devote their main force to the battle with the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, thereby reducing the pressure on the US army.

Lieutenant General Stilwell nodded: "It is indeed very important to capture southern Myanmar. If you can have a port, the US aid can be transported directly to your hands by sea. Such supplies will be more convenient. In addition, the heavy equipment you need and the equipment you need to develop military industry can also be transported. Otherwise, even if the United States agrees to support you, it will not be possible due to the constraints of transportation conditions."

Qin Shou deeply agreed with this. A port is really important to the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lieutenant General Stilwell left Mandalay. He also wanted to go to China and force Chairman Chiang to provide more soldiers. This had nothing to do with Qin Shou. He continued to lead the anti-Japanese and national salvation army, and defeating the Japanese army was the most important thing.

As Qin Shou expected, Chairman Jiang sternly refused Lieutenant General Stilwell's proposal.

Although there are now a large number of refugees in the three southwestern provinces. The Shancheng government has no way to deal with these refugees. However, Chairman Chiang would rather these refugees starve to death than let them join the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

General Stilwell thought of many solutions, but Chairman Chiang was unable to get in. In no way, Lieutenant General Stilwell had to order all assistance from the Absolute Mountain City Government.

This made Chairman Jiang blind. On the front battlefield, they were attacked by the Japanese army and suffered heavy losses. They were about to wait until the Yunnan-Burma Highway was opened to obtain more aid from the Americans to reorganize their arms. However, Lieutenant General Stilwell directly cut off the aid, which undoubtedly made Chairman Jiang's plan fail.

So, Chairman Jiang's angry scolding of "Niang Xipi" was remembered in the official residence. But even so, they had no choice but to do so.

Even Chairman Chiang and his team contacted the US government and accused Lieutenant General Stilwell of his behavior. But Lieutenant General Stilwell had already contacted the country. Because it involved the development and growth of the anti-Japanese and national salvation army supported by the US military, it was related to whether they could defeat the Japanese army as soon as possible on the Pacific battlefield. Therefore, the US government ignored Chairman Chiang on this issue.

This also made Chairman Jiang see clearly that the Americans were not on his side at all.

In desperation, Chairman Chiang had to convene senior officials from the government and military to discuss countermeasures.

The senior officials have no other way to do this. The Americans are now biting to death. If the Shancheng government does not provide troops to the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, they will not give them assistance. To put it bluntly, it is to change troops. If the Shancheng government agrees, it will be good for everyone. If they don’t agree, they will part.

After the failure of the Expeditionary Force, Lieutenant General Stilwell also asked the Shancheng government to recruit more troops, expand the Expeditionary Force, and prepare to continue to fight in Myanmar at the right time.

But later after the rise of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, Lieutenant General Stilwell's attention was on the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. Those newly recruited soldiers from the Expeditionary Army would not be used for a while. Chairman Jiang was also happy to prepare to form his own troops. But now it seems that in exchange for American aid, these troops still have to be sent out! (To be continued.)
