Zhang Chi's words made Stilwell stunned, and then he said to Zhang Chi with anger, "Is this how you Chinese soldiers speak to the superior?"

"General!" Zhang Chi replied: "First of all, you are the chief of the United States, and I am the soldier of China. Secondly, we Chinese soldiers only respect the chief who lives and dies with soldiers and wins battles!"

Although Zhang Chi was not clear about this, anyone knew that Zhang Chi was referring to Stilwell abandoning the Chinese Expeditionary Force at a critical moment and returning to point fingers when the Chinese Expeditionary Force stabilized its position.

This immediately mentioned Stilwell's pain point, which made Stilwell's face look very ugly.

Luo Zhuoying immediately walked up and shouted at Zhang Chi, "Bold, what is your attitude? Apologize to the chief immediately!"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but gritted his teeth. If Stilwell was the chief of the United States, then Luo Zhuoying would be a veritable Chinese commander.

"No need to apologize!" At this time, Du Yuming walked in. He stood beside Zhang Chi with a light smile and said, "General Stilwell, Brother You Qing... I forgot to introduce to you. This is Zhang Chi, the company commander of the first battalion of the Engineering Corps. He led a platoon to repel a Japanese brigade at the Wajie Iron Bridge and seized a large amount of equipment from the Japanese. After that, he fought the battles of Tonggu, Ren'anqiang, Tangji and other battles, and even the engineering regiment seized Myitkyina... It can be said that a considerable part of you and I can stand here and talk today is the credit of this company commander. So I think he is qualified to say these words. What do you think?"

Luo Zhuoying couldn't help but look ashen, but she snorted in dissatisfaction. A few surprises appeared in Stilwell's eyes, and the anger on her face quickly eased.

From this point of view, we can see the difference between Luo Zhuoying and Stilwell... Stilwell is obviously more cunning and practical, while Luo Zhuoying is better at face value.

After pausing, Stilwell walked up to Zhang Chi and nodded, patted Zhang Chi on the shoulder and said humorously: "Good job, Lieutenant! You won't mind a sixty-year-old man who doesn't have enough eyesight!"

"Of course not, General Stilwell!" Although Zhang Chi did not have much favorable feelings for Stilwell, he still had to admire his demeanor.

"Very good!" Stilwell took the initiative to reach out and shook Zhang Chi. He said, "I believe we will cooperate happily!"

"Hey!" He said that, and turned around and introduced to the American school officials around him: "Look at your translator, he is a hero! Among the countless achievements he made, one of them was to defeat more than a thousand Japanese troops with a platoon!"

"Wow! Is that true?"

"This is amazing!"

...

The exclamation of the US military academy officer soon came from around, and someone even came forward to shake hands with Zhang Chi and introduced:

"Hi. I'm Tom, I'm so glad to see you!"

"I am William. If I have the opportunity to hear your experience, it must be wonderful!"

Zhang Chi also responded politely one by one. In fact, Zhang Chi still likes Americans with cheerful and casual personality. For example, in this command, generals, school officials and soldiers can have such relaxed and pleasant conversations, which is almost impossible in the Chinese army.

Zhang Chi's task is very easy. Simply put, it is a bridge between the Chinese army and the US military academy officer. If the US military academy officer wants to know what situations, he can ask Zhang Chi to call in Chinese to inquire. The Chinese army's reply was translated by Zhang Chi and told the US military academy officer.

However, the US military academy officials seemed not very interested in some of the situations in the Chinese military. Instead, they were busy with their work while asking about Zhang Chi's combat experience. When talking about thrilling and exciting things, they always made the school officials amazed.

Stilwell always smiled and pushed his glasses on his nose, saying to the American school officials: "Children, learn more from this Chinese. What he is talking about is the battlefield we will face in the future!"

Because he was in the translation job, Zhang Chi guessed Stilwell’s plan not long after:

Stilwell's first step is to lay out an air defense network in the Myitkyina defense line.

The strategic significance of this air defense network is very important. It not only reduces the air threat of the Japanese army to the Myitkyina defense line, but also provides a guarantee for the air transportation channel in northern Myitkyina... Only by blocking Japanese fighter jets south of Myitkyina can the US military's aid materials be continuously transported to the expeditionary force or even China through the airspace over northern Myanmar.

And this doesn't seem very difficult to do.

The reason is that although the Japanese army occupied most parts of Myanmar at this time, they did not receive much material... In history, the materials seized by the Japanese army occupying Myanmar mainly came from three major pieces, namely the oil fields of Ren'anqiang, the US aid supplies in Lashio and the British military supplies in Myitkyina.

But now, Ren'anqiang has been blown up twice (it was blown up once when the British army withdrew, and the engineers broke through again). Therefore, Ren'anqiang's losses are much heavier than in history, and it is basically impossible to restore oil production in the short term.

Lashio's supplies were burned by the engineering regiment, and the Myitkyina supplies fell into the hands of the expeditionary army again.

As one goes up and down, the Japanese army soon had insufficient supply problems. At this time, the Japanese army was busy repairing the railway to transport supplies from Yangon to Mandalay, which was quite difficult during the rainy season.

As a result, the number of fighter jets that could appear over Myitkyina in the Japanese army became less and less... The Japanese army needed time to accumulate strength.

In contrast, the Sino-US coalition forces. The US military had already had a large number of materials stranded in India and were preparing to invest in the Myanmar battlefield. Now they only need to transport these materials to northern Myanmar.

Then there are various anti-aircraft firepowers such as anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, etc. that enter the Myitkyina defense line, and then several flight squadrons are deployed in the Indian airport to cooperate with the Flying Tigers in the direction of China, which can easily gain air supremacy in northern Myanmar.

(Note: Myitkyina airport is only suitable as an emergency airport for emergency landings. The reason is that it is too close to the front line. Such a close distance does not mean that there is not enough time to respond to Japanese fighter jets. Japanese artillery bombardment can destroy fighter jets parked at Myitkyina airport.)

After obtaining the air supremacy in northern Myanmar, a training base was established in the military key Sun Brabing, about 160 kilometers away from Myitkyina.

There, Stilwell will use full American equipment to equip and train the Expeditionary Forces to build a super army with the advantages of both the Chinese and American military.
