Two hundred and twentieth chapters strong support
"Qin, General Stilwell reported that you are interested in establishing a military government in Myanmar? Tell me about your ideas in this regard." President Roosevelt changed his tone and asked suddenly.
Qin Shou took a deep breath. He knew whether he could gain American support in this regard, it depends on President Roosevelt's statement this time.
"Your Excellency President, you should be clear about the establishment and development of the anti-Japanese rescue. We were just a group of defeated soldiers at first. In order to delay the Japanese army's pursuit of the main force of the expeditionary army, we were ordered to block the Japanese army. Although we completed the mission, in fact, we have been abandoned. In addition, the situation in the country is very complicated and we have no intention of getting involved. Therefore, the senior officials of the anti-Japanese rescue do not want to go back to China.
However, we now have more than 300,000 troops. So many soldiers and their families always need local resettlement. So, we hope to establish our own government in Myanmar so that after defeating Japan, there will be enough places to accommodate these meritorious soldiers. Besides, we snatched Myanmar from the Japanese, so it should naturally belong to us. Others have no right to take them away from us."
Qin Shou fully expressed his attitude. Of course, he carefully hid his ambitions. If Qin Shou showed his ambitions for the entire Nanyang, the Americans would definitely not agree. They could tolerate the fight against Japan and rescue the occupied Myanmar, but they would never tolerate the fight against Japan and rescue the occupied the entire Nanyang.
President Roosevelt nodded: "Qin, essentially, I can understand your attitude. However, Myanmar is a British colony."
Although President Roosevelt was very interested in weakening Britain's power and could not wait to do so. However, on the surface, he still needed to work hard to maintain the ally relationship between the United States and Britain.
"His Excellency the President, there are many British colonies, and Myanmar is just one of the insignificant ones. Besides, the vast British colonies are very unfavorable to maintaining world peace." Qin Shou continued.
Qin Shou knew exactly what the Americans wanted to do. They wanted to pull the British off the throne of the world hegemony while winning this world war and then replace them. That is why they were happy to see Germany and Japan and consume the strength of the British. In this way, the United States could achieve its strategic goals.
President Roosevelt did not object to Qin Shou's words. In fact, he thought so in his heart. If the United States wants to replace Britain, the British's world colonial system must collapse. However, he had to weigh the benefits or disadvantages of the United States.
"Marshall, what do you think?" President Roosevelt looked at General Marshall.
"Your Excellency the President, the anti-Japanese and rescue efforts are undoubtedly a meritorious person in this war. If you have any meritorious contributions, you must reward it. There is no problem using Myanmar to reward the anti-Japanese and rescue efforts." Although Admiral Marshall is a soldier, he does not understand political matters. Since the anti-Japanese and occupation of Myanmar is no harm to the United States, but it is beneficial, they of course have to support it.
President Roosevelt nodded and used the British colonies to win over the fight against Japan and rescue, which was indeed beneficial to the United States without any harm. Of course, President Roosevelt was not worried whether the British would turn against the United States because of this. If the two countries turned against each other, the British would not even have enough food, let alone resist the attack of the Germans. Therefore, President Roosevelt took the absolute initiative.
"General Qin, what kind of country will Myanmar become in the future?" President Roosevelt asked. Since he had planned to support the anti-Japanese war and rescue of the country, he had established a country in Myanmar. Then, President Roosevelt certainly hopes that Myanmar will be a younger brother of the United States. It is a foregone conclusion that the United States will reach the top and become the world hegemon after this world war. But even so, the United States needs more alliances. In this way, it can maintain the United States' hegemony and protect the special interests of the United States.
"His Excellency President, we are in Myanmar, and now the military government is in the city. This is mainly to be able to concentrate all our strength to defeat Japan during the war. After defeating Japan, Myanmar will become a democratic country. In addition, Myanmar will become the most reliable ally of the United States in Southeast Asia." Qin Shou immediately stated.
Although Qin Shou was almost certain that after the war, for the interests of the South China Sea, they would part ways with the United States and even go against each other. But at this time, in order to get as much support as possible from the United States, he had to make such a statement. To put it bluntly, he was fooling the Americans. He first obtained a lot of support from the United States, so that he would have more power to confront the United States after the war.
President Roosevelt was very satisfied with Qin Shou's statement.
"General Qin, the US government supports the plan of anti-Japanese rescue. We will try our best to convince the British side. However, I hope that you and the British will not have a large-scale conflict, which will affect this war. The world anti-fascist alliance needs to work together to eliminate the evil Axis powers." President Roosevelt said.
Qin Shou nodded repeatedly, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After receiving support from the Americans, they occupied Myanmar and had no worries. Even if the British refused to admit their conscience, they could not change this situation.
Next, Qin Shou began to strike while the iron was hot and put forward a series of aid requests. He not only hoped that the United States would provide assistance to the anti-Japanese rescue, but also hoped that the United States could support them in developing industries, especially military industry. In this way, they would not be stucked by Americans in the future.
Although Americans now have almost always responded to their requests to fight against Japanese and rescue. Qin Shou did not want his lifeline to be in the hands of Americans. If the two sides had a falling out in the future, wouldn’t the anti-Japanese and rescue be suppressed by Americans at any time? Such a situation is not something Qin Shou is willing to see.
"Your Excellency President, General Marshall. Although Japan's invasion has reached its limit, it has begun to decline from victory. However, it is undeniable that Japan's strength is still very strong. To defeat them, we need more efforts. I hope that the US government can provide more support to the anti-Japanese rescue and the military government we established in other aspects."
