"General Du!" As soon as he walked into the command center, Stilwell held Du Yuming's hand and said, "You fight very well. The tenacity of the Chinese army is completely beyond my imagination. I am sorry for this. This is my mistake in judgment!"

Du Yuming was stunned when he heard this. He thought Stilwell would find something to cover up, and he was even ready to refute him. Unexpectedly, Stilwell admitted his fault so generously.

This is exactly what Stilwell is so brilliant... He will give others a good impression of being brave and taking responsibility, and thus will win the respect of the soldiers.

Then Stilwell ignored Du Yuming who was stunned on the spot and said, "I need a command center and a Chinese who can speak English!"

Although Stilwell is fluent in Chinese and does not need to translate, the US military academy officials he brought cannot speak Chinese. At the same time, Stilwell has important things to deal with as a commander, so he is naturally not suitable to serve as a translator.

Seeing this, Du Yuming couldn't help but frown. He originally thought that Shi and Luo might have left in a few days. Now, judging by their attitude, I'm afraid they'll stay here for a long time.

What Du Yuming didn't expect was that it was actually him who was going to leave, not Stilwell...

Stilwell would come here, with the purpose of taking the military power of Myitkyina in his hands and then taking these soldiers back.

At the same time, Stilwell believed that the command system of the Chinese army, even the middle and higher-level officers, were all unqualified... Of course, this is very likely just an excuse for Stilwell to transform the Chinese army into a colonial army similar to the British and Indian and British-Burma.

In this regard, Stilwell did not understand one thing, that is, the British and Indian troops, and the British and Burmese troops were established after Britain defeated India and Myanmar, and China and the United States were all alliances. It can even be said that the combat quality and command experience of the American soldiers in all aspects were very different from those of China, the soldiers who crawled out of the dead... At this time, most of the American soldiers had no experience in participating in the war. Their training and quality were more at theoretical level, and they were extremely unsuitable for mountainous terrain like Myanmar. Therefore, it is basically impossible to turn the Chinese army into a unit similar to the British and Indian troops. In the eyes of Chinese soldiers, American soldiers were all embroidered pillows that were not used. There were even many American officers who would extremely badly attribute their victory to their command. If they were defeated, they would all say that the Chinese army was not brave enough, so it would be strange if they did not arouse strong resistance from the Chinese army.

Simply put, Stilwell is a man who just blindly picks the faults of Chinese officers, saying that this is not good and that is not good. Many of the faults he picks are factual, such as eating empty salary, and these officers have fought at least, and the Chinese do not regard the Chinese army as second-class citizens, while the US officers are the opposite... Stilwell doesn't urinate and see what role the American officer he brought to him is.

Of course, this is all a story.

Because he needed an English translation, Zhang Chi walked into Stilwell's command center.

This is the first time Zhang Chi has seen Stilwell... He is a little different from the photos he saw in modern times, and the real person looks more energetic.

Zhang Chi thought that this might be because Stilwell, who had no soldiers in his hands, finally found an opportunity to show his ambitions.

As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when they are happy, and Stilwell is in this state at this time.

However, only Stilwell himself knows the difficulties:

The difficulty comes first from the Chinese side... The tens of thousands of troops defending Myitkyina were Chinese troops after all, and they were quite combat-effective Chinese troops. Chiang Kai-shek was not willing to hand over this army to Stilwell no matter what.

But Stilwell was not worried about this, because the Lashio had been lost to China-Myanmar Highway at this time had been cut off, and China was actually surrounded by Japan. It was too busy to take care of itself, and of course it was impossible to provide any supplies or support to the expeditionary forces far away in Myanmar.

Therefore, Stilwell only needs to sacrifice the banner of blood transfusion to China... Chiang Kai-shek must pay even if he is in exchange for the same, and even if he is not in exchange for the same!

What made Stilwell's headache was the United States' ally, the United Kingdom.

For example, Stilwell wanted to build a training base in Sunbrabing, northern Myanmar, which was not a problem. The reason was that the British army had long fled from Myanmar to India. The Chinese Expeditionary Force defended the entire northern Myanmar, which means that the Chinese Expeditionary Force had full rights to use northern Myanmar.

But beyond Stilwell's surprise, he was rejected by Wei Weier when he made this suggestion.

"That is our British territory!" Wei Weier said shamelessly with a serious expression: "We cannot easily hand it over to the Chinese people for use!"

These words only made Stilwell scold "fuk!" in his heart... If the British were not guarding the Chinese in Myitkyina, there would have been the Japanese territory.

"General!" Stilwell asked Wei Weir back: "What you mean... is to ask the Chinese to withdraw from Myitkyina first, with northern Myanmar to the Japanese. Then they will fight back, right? In this way, it will not belong to British territory!"

Wei Weir was speechless when asked, but he insisted on discussing conditions with Stilwell, such as increasing US aid to the UK, etc.

Since the establishment of a training base in Myanmar and even future operations require strong cooperation from British India, Stilwell could only swallow this and agreed to some of Wei Wei's requests.

From this point of view, the British are more like shrewd businessmen. They do not care whether they are reasonable or not, and they only know how to maximize their interests.

"General Stilwell!" Zhang Chi walked to Stilwell and saluted, saying in fluent English: "I am the translator you need, my name is Zhang Chi!"

"Hmm!" Stilwell glanced at Zhang Chi. When he saw Zhang Chi being so young, he was a lieutenant, and a hint of sarcasm in his mouth said in Chinese: "Before you assigned your task, please tell me the son of which senior official you are, so that I can prepare myself!"

Zhang Chi was stunned and thought that Stilwell's nickname "Joe Acetate" was indeed well-known, and this statement made people not know how to answer.

However, Stilwell said this, and it seemed to make sense. He was a young lieutenant and fluent in English... This was never common in the Chinese army.
