The news of the victory of the Battle of Impal soon reached the riverside that had just fled to the west bank of the Irrawaddy River.

This news did give the Japanese army stationed in Myanmar a shot of stimulant, but Kawabian Masato knew that the victory in this local area could no longer save the defeat of the Japanese army stationed in Myanmar...

On the one hand, the victory of the Battle of Impal came too late. Even if Redo is now occupied and then the Chinese army stationed in Myanmar can still get supplies from the sea. Therefore, the Japanese army's strategy of defending Yangon and seizing Impal to trap the Chinese army was completely failed.

Of course, the Japanese army can also get supplies from the sea, but the more important problem is... the arrogant Japanese Navy has suffered consecutive defeats in the confrontation with the Allies.

Thinking of this, Kawabian Masao gritted his teeth and snorted coldly. These navies usually look down on the army, but they are so vulnerable when fighting. Especially in the Battle of Midway, the Japanese army used four main aircraft carriers to attack three US aircraft carriers. As a result, four Japanese aircraft carriers and one heavy cruiser were all sunk, and more than 300 aircraft were sunk to the bottom of the sea with them. The US army only lost one aircraft carrier and one destroyer.

"These guys who are not good enough to do anything!" Kawabian Masazo couldn't help but punch the map.

In order to establish a powerful navy, Japan left all steel and funds to the navy, which saved the army even the steel used to build tanks. This was one of the reasons why the army's tank armor was so weak. However, the steel saved by the army was easily sunk to the bottom of the sea by the navy.

At this point, Masazo Kawabang did not scold him wrong, because the Japanese Navy became arrogant after the victory of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, thinking that the Japanese Navy was the best in the world, so the combat plan was full of loopholes, and the exercise was also exhausted. Not to mention changing the results of the exercise without authorization, the aircraft carrier that was sunk during the exercise could float up from the bottom of the water to participate in the battle again... This may also be part of the spirit of Japanese Bushido.

As a result, the Japanese Navy completely lost its advantage on the sea and thus reinforced Myanmar at sea. It was obvious that the Chinese army was stronger than the Japanese army.

In this way, the Japanese army in Myanmar will have to fight against the Chinese army in the absence of sufficient supply, which will undoubtedly put the Japanese army in Myanmar into a passive position.

Stilwell also thought so, so he didn't feel much about Impal's loss... This was just a matter of changing the supply direction of the expeditionary force from the north to the south.

Once the expeditionary force attacked Irrawaddy, the Japanese army with empty forces would soon be cut into several pieces in half.

And Stilwell planned exactly that, because most of the Japanese troops were distributed at northern Myanmar and southern Myanmar, and the troops in China were very empty. At this time, as long as you attack the Irrawaddy River, you could easily cut the Japanese long snake into two pieces.

"Joe!" At this time, Alexander walked into Stilwell's office again.

Stilwell frowned and said with some displeasure: "Alex, you are here to ask me not to fight the Irrawaddy River, right? I want to remind you that it will be a matter of time before Redo is occupied by the Japanese army. The Chinese army no longer needs the help of the British to some extent!"

"No, it's the opposite!" Alexander replied: "We hope that the Chinese army will fight the Irrawaddy River as soon as possible!"

Stilwell raised his head in confusion. He couldn't believe that the British who had been hindering the Chinese army's advance would have such an attitude.

The next second Stilwell figured it out: "Oh, you want to abandon Myanmar and protect India!"

"No, no..." Alexander denied: "We are allies, aren't we? Then we should fight together. As for whoever conquers Myanmar... it's all the same, right?"

Stilwell couldn't help but smile. It was at this time that Alexander was still playing the word game.

Stilwell spread his hands indifferently and replied: "Alex, you know that after such a long battle, the Chinese army should rest and consolidate the front line in place instead of fighting the Irrawaddy River, right?"

Judging from this sentence, Stilwell's political skills are much more sophisticated than before.

"Joe...you can't do this!" Alexander said anxiously: "You know very well that Impal has been occupied by the Japanese army. If they were allowed to break through the British defense line at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Of course Stilwell knew the consequences. India's strategic position was so important that it even affected the entire anti-fascist battle, but Stilwell shook his head and said, "Sorry. Alex, I can't help! The Chinese army has fought too many wars, and... the Chinese have no reason to fight this war, right? Myanmar is not their place, and there is no need to cross the Irrawaddy River when opening the China-Myanmar highway!"

Upon hearing this, Alexander's face turned pale. He knew very well what Stilwell wanted. Stilwell hoped that Britain would give up its colonial rights over Myanmar.

Stilwell did have this idea. But it was not because of his great ambitions, but because he no longer wanted the British to point fingers at his troops. He wanted to let go of his hands and fight hard in Myanmar. As for whether Myanmar's colonial rights were in the hands of the British or the Chinese, it had nothing to do with Stilwell, and it had nothing to do with the interests of the United States.

It can even be said that if colonial rights are in the hands of the Chinese army, they are even in the interests of the United States. After all, the United States still provides supplies and command in this Chinese army... Although a considerable part of the command power has returned to the hands of the Chinese, the control power is always in the hands of the United States, because as long as the United States is unhappy, it is enough not to provide ammunition supply to this army.

More importantly, if the Chinese army can let go of a big battle, it will inevitably consume many Japanese troops, which is also in the interests of the United States.

"No...never!" After thinking about it, Alexander shook his head.

"Yeah!" Stilwell raised his magnifying glass and looked at the map, and said to himself: "Maybe, after the Chinese troops have finished resting, they can attack Irrawaddy Province!"

Alexander couldn't help but feel scared and sweated. Irrawaddy Province is the southernmost position on the west bank of the Irrawaddy River. If the Chinese army attacks here first, it means blocking the retreat route of the Japanese army at sea, so the Japanese army has only one way out... that is, retreat to India and fight with the British army.

"Wait, Joe!" Alexander wiped the cold sweat from his head with his handkerchief and said, "I must discuss it with the London side!"

"Yeah!" Stilwell smiled proudly. What he liked to see the most was the proud British man lowering his head in front of him.
