"Huanzhang, Ziren, sit down."

Moving to Feng Yuxiang and Zhong Yi to take the seat, President Chang then said to He Yingpei, who was responsible for presiding the meeting: "Jingzhi, since everyone has arrived, let's start."

"Okay." He Yingpei said, "Before starting today's meeting topics, I will first convey a notice to you."

"Just today, the International Anti-*** Alliance has been officially established."

“According to the initiative of the International Anti-*** Alliance, the Asian battlefield has been divided into two major war zones.”

"These two major war zones, one is the Chinese war zone and the other is the Southeast Asian war zone. The principal automatically serves as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese war zone."

"So, now, what we want to discuss are some arrangements for the Southeast Asian theater."

"The US government's meaning is very clear, that is, it hopes that the National Government will send troops, the United States will provide weapons and equipment and provide logistical support, the British government will provide some cheapness, and the three parties will work together to fight the Japanese invasion on the battlefields of Southeast Asia."

"According to information, the Japanese Southern Army has divided its troops into multiple groups and launched attacks on the Philippines, the Malay Peninsula, the Indochina Peninsula and even Borneo. If nothing unexpected happens, the fall of these areas will be inevitable."

"The National Civil Affairs Council wants to save the above areas, but it is too late to save it."

"But Myanmar is still in time, not only is it closer, but its importance is also more prominent."

"Now the water trade line of Yinjiang has been completely cut off, and the land passage of the Yunnan-Burma Highway has become the only life passage for the National Government to accept external materials, and it must not be lost."

"So, sending troops to Myanmar is not only helping the United States and Britain, but also helping the National Government itself!"

"So, there is no doubt that the troops to Myanmar will be sent. Next, the National Government must send troops to Myanmar!"

"So, now, the only thing that needs to be considered is how many troops are used, and then who will be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar War Zone?"

"Now, please give your opinions enthusiastically."

As soon as He Yingpei finished speaking, Chen Shi asked, "Brother Yunong, how many troops does the Japanese Southern Army have?"

Including Principal Chang, more than a dozen senior generals attending the meeting looked at Dai Li sitting in the corner.

Although Dai Li is the actual person in charge of the Military Intelligence Bureau and is also the confidant of President Chang, he is only a major general after all. Faced with the burning gaze of more than a dozen generals, he is inevitably a little embarrassed.

The key is that the Southern Army does not have enough information.

Even the biggest source of information is Zhong Yi.

Not long ago, Zhong Yi analyzed the scale of the Japanese Southern Army's troops with him.

Although there is no definite evidence, Dai Li thinks Zhong Yi's analysis is very reliable.

Dai Li gritted his teeth and said, "Although there is no definite evidence, according to our Military Affairs Bureau's estimates, the size of the Japanese Southern Army is likely to exceed 20 divisions!"

"More than 20 divisions? Wouldn't there be more than 500,000?"

"My God, this is the strategic group second only to the Kwantung Army!"

"A strategic group of such a large scale is enough for Meiying to have a pot of drink."

An inhalation sounded immediately in the conference room, and everyone was startled by the number.

Feng Yuxiang, who seemed full of confidence when he first entered the conference room, couldn't help but look flashing. Although he wanted to return to control the military, if he had to face a war that would inevitably not be won, it would be meaningless to force his comeback, so as not to be insured in his later years.

Of course, Feng Yuxiang himself felt that he still had the so-called late festival.

In the eyes of others, Lao Feng has actually no longer had the late lunar calendar.

Chen Shi's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Yunong, is the information reliable?"

Dai Li nodded and said, "I said that this information is basically reliable!"

"Principal." Chen Shi immediately turned his attention to Principal Chang and said, "If the Japanese Southern Army really has more than 20 divisions, then the Myanmar War Zone's strength would be too small."

"Well, 200,000 troops are too small." Principal Chang nodded and said, "Although the Japanese Southern Army needs to control is very wide, there should not be too many troops that can be used in Myanmar. In my estimate, at best, there are only more than 100,000 troops from three to four divisions, but 200,000 to 100,000 Japanese troops is still too thin."

Seeing Principal Chang and Chen Shizai singing and reconciling, Zhong Yi smiled.

Obviously, before the meeting, President Chang had already discussed with a few confidants such as Chen Shi. Even the number of troops sent, which troops were drawn, and who was appointed as the commander-in-chief should have been determined. The current meeting is just a formality, that is, Feng Huanzhang will still have fantasies about this.

However, Zhong Yi felt that he still needed to remind Principal Chang and others of some things.

Zhong Yi said immediately: "Principal, there is a saying, "I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Oh?" Principal Chang's heart was beating, but he said generously on the surface, "Zi Ren said something straight."

Zhong Yi stood up and walked to the north wall. At this time, a map of Southeast Asia had been posted on the north wall.

After reaching out to take a photo on the Southeast Asia map, Zhong Yi said: "Although the region of Southeast Asia is very large, there are very few armed forces that can truly pose a threat to the Japanese Southern Army."

"At present, only the US troops stationed in the Philippines, India stationed in Malaysia, Singapore, and British troops stationed in Myanmar can pose a certain threat to the Japanese army."

"In addition, it is probably only the Thai army that has a slight threat."

"But in my opinion, Thailand is likely to rely on Japan and become a Japanese lackey!"

"So, the situation in Southeast Asia is actually very clear. Apart from the 70,000 US troops stationed in the Philippines, there are only 100,000 British troops stationed in Malaysia and Singapore!"

"But as far as I know, whether it is the US Army in the Philippines, or the British Army in Malaysia and Singapore, most of them are minions compiled by local natives, and their combat effectiveness is very low."

"So if nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese army will quickly occupy the above areas."

"The Japanese army can launch an attack on Myanmar within two months at the earliest."

"If the attack is not smooth, the Japanese base camp may use most of the main forces of the Southern Army to fight against Myanmar, and the time for mobilizing troops will never exceed one month!"

"In other words, by early March next year, the Japanese Southern Army is likely to invest more than 15 divisions and heavy troops in the Myanmar battlefield!"
