Chapter 1877 The end of the honeymoon period

As a politician who has been immersed in politics for decades, how could Roosevelt not see Marshall’s true intention?

The transfer of the Chinese Expeditionary Force to the African battlefield is certainly related to the sharp deterioration of the situation on the African battlefield, which means that the Chinese Expeditionary Force can reverse the situation in a short period of time.

But more people may still take this opportunity to consume and weaken the Chinese expeditionary force.

If possible, it would be best to transfer Zhong Yi from Myanmar, because now it is not only the National Government and President Chang who feel the threat of Zhong Yi, but even Americans like Roosevelt and Marshall are vaguely uneasy about Zhong Yi's terrifying growth rate.

Nothing else, Zhong Yi's growth rate is really terrifying.

How long has it been for Zhong Yi to arrive in Myanmar? It only takes one year to complete the full calculation.

But now let’s look at the political situation in Myanmar? How much influence can the British Empire still have?

Although Zhong Yi has never said in public that he wants to control Myanmar for a long time, the facts will never be diverted by anyone's will.

It’s fine if Zhong Yi’s political influence in Myanmar, but what’s even more terrifying is his technological influence.

More than 300 industrial projects assisted by the US government are basic projects and hardly involve any cutting-edge technology.

However, after Zhong Yi introduced these basic projects to northern Myanmar, he relied on these basic projects and overseas Chinese scientists who returned from studying abroad to start climbing in many fields.

What's even more terrifying is that under Zhong Yi's advocacy, Chinese scientists have achieved amazing achievements in these fields.

According to the information provided by Stilwell, the Helicopter Research Institute and the Rocket Launch Institute in northern Myanmar have achieved initial results. The successful development of the verification helicopter has extremely excellent performance.

The "Steel Rain" rocket launcher is even more amazing, and it is said that it is likely to become a subversive infantry weapon.

Because of the emergence of this rocket launcher, the way of infantry combat will undergo revolutionary changes in the future.

Therefore, as the President of the United States and Chief of Staff of the US Army, Roosevelt and Marshall have to worry about what kind of situation will happen if Zhong Yi continues to grow like this?

By then, Myanmar is likely to break away from Britain's independence and quickly become a country dominated by Chinese.

And this country will quickly enter the ranks of developed industrial countries within a very short period of time, and may even be at the forefront of the world in some military and technological fields.

And, this is just the beginning.

Myanmar's independence will inevitably trigger a chain reaction throughout Southeast Asia.

By then, the entire Southeast Asia may become independent, and then follow Myanmar and form a Chinese-led government.

After all, the Chinese have an advantageous position in Southeast Asia, and behind them is Myanmar, a newly emerging power!

Then, it is very likely that a major alliance, a national alliance dominated by Chinese, will appear in Southeast Asia!

Then, this national alliance will in turn affect China and the power struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party!

Although the Kuomintang is still the ruling party of the National Government, it still has more than 4 million troops, and even Zhong Yi's Chinese Expeditionary Force is nominally a battle sequence of the national army.

The Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party has only 400,000 people.

In addition, the New Fourth Army in Jiangnan has only more than 500,000 people.

However, according to the assessment of US Ambassador to China, when China wins the War of Resistance Against Japan, if there is no external intervention, the Kuomintang will undoubtedly lose China's regime battle.

So, will Zhong Yi's Chinese Expeditionary Force intervene in this war?

According to Stilwell's evaluation, if the answer is no, Zhong Yi will choose to be neutral and will not intervene.

Even Stilwell made further judgments that Zhong Yi would likely take the initiative to establish a good relationship with the CCP.

Then, a strong alliance of countries will emerge in Asia, a alliance of countries led by the CCP, with a fundamental ideological dispute with the United States.

Of course, Americans are always pragmatic and don’t care about ideology.

As long as the Asian alliance is willing to cooperate with the United States and be the younger brother of the United States, they actually don’t care whether the political system adopted by the alliance is imperial, constitutional, or republic.

The problem is that with Zhong Yi's performance, combined with Stilwell and the judgment of the intelligence department, Zhong Yi will never be willing to be a small American follower, who has a strong tendency toward Chinese!

By then, there is a strong enemy in Asia supported by the United States itself!

Therefore, while Zhong Yi was not yet full of strength, helping the National Government and Chang Kaishen suppress him, or simply using the German army to eradicate him, is a good choice.

But, with such a smart person as Zhong Yi, can he not see through this?

Roosevelt expressed doubts, and he felt that Zhong Yi would never agree unless he was crazy.

Roosevelt said at the moment: "I think this is simply our wishful thinking, and Zhong Yi will not agree."

"No, Your Excellency President, I don't think so." Marshall shook his head and said, "I think there is no such thing in the world that you can't buy, it depends on whether you can afford this price!"

“As long as we collect the price is high enough.”

"Zhong Yi has no reason to disagree with sending troops."

"The price of the contract is high enough?" Roosevelt said with a frown. "Now more than 300 industrial projects in northern Myanmar have been completed. What kind of high price can we pay? My Chief of Staff, we can't get more of them!"

"No, we can give more," Marshall said with a smile, "for example, extend the residence time of our US government's engineers and technicians in northern Myanmar."

"Dwelling time?" Stark said in surprise, "If I remember correctly, there seems to be no dwelling time, right?"

"That was before, it's different now." Marshall said with a smile. "Now we have more than 5 million troops in the United States, which has led to a shortage of domestic workers, especially the shortage of engineers and technicians is even more serious. Therefore, we can only allow engineering and technicians in northern Myanmar to return to China early."

Speaking of this, Marshall said: "Of course, if the Chinese Expeditionary Force is willing to send troops to Africa and fight side by side with the US military, the US government will be able to mobilize less reserves, and the gap for engineering and technical personnel will not be that big, so the engineering and technical personnel in northern Myanmar will no longer have to rush to return to the United States."

Roosevelt sighed: "But in this way, the honeymoon period between us and the National Government or Zhong Yi will end."

"Your Excellency the President, there is nothing you can do about this." Marshall shrugged and said, "No matter how loving a lover is, the honeymoon period will always end. This is the law of nature!"

"Okay, okay." Roosevelt said tiredly, "then it."
