Chapter 259 Pressure

Lieutenant General Stilwell's perfunctory made General Wavell very dissatisfied. However, he also knew that if the United States really didn't help, he really had no other way.

Although he was the commander of the British army stationed in India, or even the commander of the Southeast Asian Allied Army, the only troops he could command was the British army. Although there were still many British troops in India, there were not many troops able to mobilize to the front line. What's more, Lieutenant General Slim had used this failure to prove the strength of the anti-Japanese and rescue of the **. In such a situation, of course, he did not want to try another failure.

As a last resort, General Weiville could only truthfully report the situation here to the country.

British Prime Minister Churchill was furious when he learned about this. Although the British Empire was declining more and more, it was definitely not something that the Chinese could bully. However, even though he was unwilling to admit it, the British army's combat effectiveness was not as good as the anti-Japanese rescue. The fact that he was beaten up by the anti-Japanese rescue was already in front of him, so he couldn't help but believe it!

In addition, although the main force of the Germans was used to attack the Soviet Union eastward, the pressure the British had not reduced at all. This made him unable to deal with the anti-Japanese and rescue efforts! Therefore, he could only adopt diplomatic measures.

Prime Minister Churchill's special envoy flew to the United States that afternoon and personally communicated with the US government about the conflict between the British army and the anti-Japanese and rescue **. After meeting with the US Secretary of State, the British envoy made a request to unconditionally release the captured British soldiers, deal with the anti-Japanese and rescue ** Commander Qin Shou, and return Myanmar to the UK.

In addition, the British envoy proposed that he hoped that the US government could consider it from the standpoint of the anti-fascist alliance to avoid rifts in the alliance.

In the eyes of the British, if the US government wants to choose, it is naturally much more important than the fight against Japan and rescue. However, they will soon know that this is just because they feel good about themselves. In the current American strategy, Britain's status is indeed very important. But at the same time, Britain is also the target of the United States' strong weakening. Otherwise, how will the Americans seize world hegemony after the war is over?

As for the fight against Japan and rescue, although it is not as powerful as Britain. However, for the United States' Pacific strategy, the fight against Japan and rescue is worthy of support. This is a key factor in reducing the losses of troops on the battlefield. Even after the war, the Americans hoped that the fight against Japan and rescue will become their pawn for controlling the Asia-Pacific. In this regard, the US government of course cannot give up the support for fighting against Japan and rescue.

"Chief of Staff, it seems that our little guy has caused a lot of trouble in Myanmar. His Excellency Prime Minister Churchill, but he was furious because of this!" President Roosevelt smiled. He was angry at the fight against Japan and rescue ** because of the British protests.

"His Excellency the President, the British army and the Anti-Japanese Rescue Army broke out, which was originally expected. However, in this war, the Anti-Japanese Rescue Army did not take the initiative to attack, but instead made a passive defense. All the battles took place on the territory of Myanmar. To some extent, we cannot blame the Anti-Japanese Rescue Army." Admiral Marshall said with a smile.

Although Britain is an important ally of the United States, both President Roosevelt and General Marshall want to see them betrayed.

"My Chief of Staff, of course, I know that this time it was entirely because the British were asking for trouble. However, now the British are our most important allies. So we still have to consider their interests." President Roosevelt said.

Although the United States wants to replace Britain and become the hegemon of the world, the most urgent task is to defeat the evil Axis alliance. If the war fails, all plans will be in vain.

Admiral Marshall nodded, and of course he understood President Roosevelt's painstaking efforts.

"Your Excellency the President, it seems that you can only feel aggrieved the little guy." General Marshall said.

President Roosevelt looked unquestionable: "With our support, they have what they are today. Then, for the interests of the United States, they should naturally make some sacrifices."

In the eyes of politicians like Roosevelt, everything can be sacrificed for the benefit of the country, let alone the pawns they supported by resisting Japan and rescuing **.

"So, will the requests made by the British, be agreed?" General Marshall asked.

"The British request was agreed to the first one. Let the anti-Japanese rescue ** release those British prisoners of war. As for the other two, just reject the British." President Roosevelt said simply.

President Roosevelt refused to hand over Qin Shou to the British to deal with it. From the information they received, Qin Shou has become the soul of fighting against Japan and saving **. Without Qin Shou, how could the United States expect to fight against Japan and save Japan himself?

As for Myanmar, it is much better to keep the anti-Japanese and rescuers in hand than to re-control by the British. This is very helpful for weakening the British.

"Okay, Your Excellency the President. However, I am a little worried that the little guy will refuse. What should we do if that happens?" Admiral Marshall was a little worried. In his opinion, Qin Shou was undoubtedly a very stubborn person and was completely possible to reject the requests of the United States.

"Reject? If they refuse, stop providing assistance to them. Even military pay was intercepted. Without the military pay and weapons and equipment we provided, how could they gain a foothold in Southeast Asia?" Roosevelt sneered.

Indeed, in President Roosevelt's eyes, the anti-Japanese rescue is just a pawn. For the interests of the United States, the anti-Japanese rescue can be sacrificed at any time. Not to mention, this time it is just to let the anti-Japanese rescue release those prisoners of war. As long as it is beneficial to the United States, even if it gives up the anti-Japanese rescue, President Roosevelt will do it without hesitation.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President. I will ask General Stilwell to meet the little guy. I believe that the little guy is a smart guy and he knows how to choose." Admiral Marshall smiled.

Indeed, they have too many means to fight back against Japan and save the ***. That would be very easy.

On the afternoon of November 28, Lieutenant General Stilwell appeared in front of Qin Shou. There is no doubt that his mission this time was to put pressure on Qin Shou and the anti-Japanese rescue, and demanded that the anti-Japanese rescue rescue unconditionally release the captured British prisoners of war.
