Chapter 50 Interests
"The reason is very simple!" Zhang Chi said: "The British have always been thinking that Myanmar is their colony, but the Myanmar Independence Volunteers are trying to fight for Myanmar's independence. The contradictions between them are irreconcilable and there may even be conflicts. So, if the British know, our future battles may be a lot of trouble!"
"It's right!" Stilwell on the other end of the phone couldn't help but nod.
Stilwell has never had a good impression of the British, and the interests of the United States are to unite all forces that can be united to consume the Japanese army to the greatest extent. The Myanmar Independent Volunteers are undoubtedly a force that can be united, and a powerful force... This does not mean how strong this force is, but that this force is all Burmese, a Myanmar unit. They are everywhere in Myanmar, and winning them means winning the support of the Burmese people, which will provide them with a lot of valuable intelligence and unexpected opportunities.
Stilwell saw what the British did in the First Battle of Myanmar, so Stilwell believed that the British would sacrifice the interests of the Sino-US coalition forces without hesitation to protect the interests of the UK, which would naturally bring a lot of trouble to future battles.
Thinking of this, Stilwell replied firmly: "You are right, Zhang... but I have to make it clear that this is not because I don't want the British to know, but because this information needs to be kept confidential, so I won't let the third person know, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Zhang Chi smiled knowingly.
Stilwell made the excuse first. Once the British asked about this, he only needed to spread his hands: "Sorry, this is just because this information needs to be kept confidential! Otherwise, it is likely to bring unnecessary risks to the plan!"
Therefore, countries are talking about interests, and even allies like Britain and the United States may not necessarily be united in the face of different interests.
"Do you need to talk to General Stilwell?" Zhang Chi asked Nira beside him.
Zhang Chi is trying to win the trust of Nila. After all, his company commander has a low rank and is not qualified to negotiate with the Myanmar Independent Volunteer Army.
But in fact, Nila had already believed it now because she could understand part of Chinese, while Zhang Chi and Stilwell's call was in Chinese. So she understood the content of the conversation.
"General!" Nira said in stiff Chinese as she took the microphone.
"Well!" Stilwell obviously did not expect that the representative of Myanmar was actually a woman, but he quickly reacted and said, "Madam, pay tribute to your brave behavior and welcome you to join our team. We will definitely help you drive the Japanese out and take back your home. In addition, you can trust the captain in front of you. He is my capable assistant. You can also leave a contact method, and I will send someone to contact you later!"
With Stilwell's words, Nira naturally believed Zhang Chi deeply.
"What do we need to do?" Nila asked Zhang Chi after putting down the microphone.
"You were not discovered by the Japanese when you came!" Zhang Chi asked.
"No!" Nira replied.
"Very good!" Zhang Chi replied: "What you need now is to go back and do what you should do! Then collect some information we need to prepare for our attack."
"Is it okay to help the Japanese and even fight against the Chinese army?" Nira asked.
At this time, Zhang Chi was stunned, but he nodded quickly and said, "Of course!"
The war is cruel. Although this decision will make the Myanmar Independence Volunteers who have been alive and the Chinese army, the intelligence provided by the Myanmar Independence Volunteers may save more people from winning greater victories.
"By the way!" Zhang Chi asked again: "Does the Japanese have warehouses in Mandalay or Bamo?"
"Yes!" Nira replied without thinking: "They have started to accumulate ammunition and food since the beginning of the rainy season. Although there is not much, they have very little supply to the soldiers, so they have accumulated some supplies in the past few months."
"Yeah!" Zhang Chi nodded, and another plan soon took shape in his mind.
The next thing went smoothly. Stilwell asked Bai Ping and several other members of the Military Affairs Commission to contact Nila quickly, and then a powerful intelligence agency was soon spread out behind the Japanese army.
In this way, Stilwell easily got the location of the Japanese army in the Mandalay warehouse in the eighth bay. Under the reconnaissance of the Myanmar Independent Volunteers, this information even details the number of Japanese troops, locations and rules, and suggests where to break through and where to escape.
All Stilwell had to do was to forward this information to the Chindith troops.
This surprised the Chindiut troops: You must know that Chindiut troops are the troops that infiltrated Myanmar, and how could the Americans get more detailed information than them?!
Finally, after thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out, so I could only attribute it to some kind of high-tech or secret troops of the Americans.
After obtaining such detailed information, the Chindith troops quickly sent two teams to attack the Japanese warehouse in Bamaji Mandalay.
At this time, the Japanese army was focusing on the front line and the messy logistics supply line that was bombed by the US Air Force and affected by the rainy season. Unexpectedly, the Chindith troops would sneak attack their warehouses, so the Chindith troops achieved great success. They successfully blew up two Japanese warehouses at a very small price.
After receiving the good news, Stilwell called Zhang Chi and said, "Zhang, we succeeded, you made another great contribution!"
"I also feel it, General!" Zhang Chi replied: "The morale of the Japanese seems to have suddenly declined. I think this must be related to their knowledge that the warehouse was attacked!"
"Of course!" Stilwell laughed: "They know they are going to go to the battlefield with hunger, so of course they will not be happy! But... you must feed them with bullets!"
"Yes. General!" Zhang Chi responded.
At this time, Zhang Chi felt that it was quite pleasant to cooperate with Stilwell. At least Stilwell would not be as conceited as other American instructors, nor would it be as shameless as the British.
Of course, Zhang Chi also knew that Stilwell was based on the interests of the United States from the standpoint of the United States, and these decisions were in line with the interests of both China.
