Chapter 1882 Zhu Liangcheng
Can't you give in?"
Stilwell still wants to make a final effort.
What if Zhong Yi is convinced? In this case, the US government will not have to give in.
In any case, Stilwell is an American after all, and he is considering the issue from the standpoint of the US government.
Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said, "General Stilwell, I actually want to give in, but my strength does not allow it."
"Oh? The strength is not allowed?" Stilwell said in confusion, "Zhong, I don't understand what you are talking about?"
Zhong Yi said: "I just want to say that I really don't have room to make concessions. Once I make concessions here, the entire Myanmar war zone will definitely fall into chaos. At that time, not only will Myanmar be in danger, but all of China will be threatened with the country and the country."
"Okay, okay, I can't always argue with you." Stilwell shrugged and said helplessly, "Since you insist on not giving in, we can only give in."
Speaking of this, Stilwell said again: "The Chinese Expeditionary Force may not go to Africa, but you must."
"Yes." Zhong Yi agreed very simply this time, because he also realized that since the US government had already had this idea, he would never give up if he did not transfer him from Myanmar.
And behind it is also the President Chang and the National Government who secretly contributed to the fire.
In this matter, even the powerful local factions such as Bai Chongbei, Liu Sheng, and Long Yun who had always secretly supported him before were probably inclined to support him.
The reason is very simple.
After he leaves, Myanmar will give up a big piece of profit cake.
Such a large piece of cake is enough for these local power factions to get a share of the pie.
Therefore, if Zhong Yi had to rely on his position as commander of the Myanmar War Theater, all parties would have no choice but to do anything about him, but he would definitely be isolated, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force would also be trapped in unprecedented isolation.
This is undoubtedly very unfavorable to the subsequent war.
Because Okamura Yasuji has built a solid fortification chain on the Siam-Myanmar border.
If you attack head-on, it will not only cost you a lot of time, but also take a lot of time.
Therefore, the ideal solution is to make a false road to Guangxi and attack Siam from Vietnam!
This is similar to the German army from the Netherlands and Belgium on the European battlefield who bypassed the Maginot line of defense in France.
Since Okamura Yasuji called the fortress group on the Siam-Myanmar border the Oriental Maginot, the Chinese Expeditionary Force could completely imitate the German army to attack.
However, if you want to do something falsely, it is impossible without the support of the Guangxi warlords.
Li Guangxi and Bai Chong were so sad that they would run Guangxi like an iron barrel, and even President Chang could not intervene, so they would not allow the Chinese Expeditionary Force to enter.
No matter how Zhong Yi guarantees it, it is useless.
This is determined by the fixed thinking of the warlords.
From the standpoint of the Guangxi clique, we must beware. What if the Chinese Expeditionary Force enters Guangxi and does not take over? At that time, Guangxi will be considered as the Guangxi clique or the Expeditionary Force?
Long Yun is also the same truth, which is determined by interests.
Although Zhong Yi and Long Yun had a good personal relationship, they were even more brothers with Long Yun's eldest son Long Shengwu, but so what? This is not worth mentioning in the face of real interests.
For the sake of profit, warlords can even sell their butts, let alone friendship?
Therefore, from the moment the US government had the idea of weakening Zhong Yi, Zhong Yi's tenure as the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar War Zone had actually entered the reverse plan.
If you stay idly, you will be isolated by all parties.
The only thing you can fight for now is the successor.
At that moment, Zhong Yi said again: "I can go to Africa, but I must decide the candidate for the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar War Zone!"
"Yes!" Stilwell agreed simply because his mission had been completed, and as long as Zhong Yi agreed to leave the position of commander-in-chief of the Myanmar War Zone, nothing would be said.
Zhong Yi said: "Let Zhu Liangcheng, deputy commander-in-chief of the Sulu Border Region and commander of the 57th Army, come to Myanmar."
"Oh? Zhu Liangcheng?" Stilwell obviously didn't expect that Zhong Yi would designate such a person.
Wang Geng stood beside him and kept silent. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he heard Zhong Yi say the name Zhu Liangcheng.
However, Wang Geng quickly adjusted his mentality, because before Zhong Yi called him his name, he was just an unemployed senior staff officer in the General Staff Department and had almost no experience in leading troops.
So it was a fantasy that his intention to take over as commander and commander of the Myanmar War Zone.
In contrast, Zhu Liangcheng's resume is much richer. He is not only Zhong Yi's direct confidant, but also participated in the Nanjing Defense War, Wuhan War and three Zhejiang-Fujian Battles, and has rich combat experience.
More importantly, Zhu Liangcheng is already the deputy commander-in-chief of the Sulu War Zone.
...
At the same time, in the official residence of Yunxiu Tower in Huangshan, Chongqing.
"Zhu Liangcheng?" Principal Chang said in surprise, "How could it be him?"
If Jansen hadn't suddenly mentioned it, President Chang would have forgotten that there was such a person in his heart.
But when Zhansen mentioned this, President Chang suddenly recalled that Zhu Liangcheng was once the number one general under Zhong Yi, and he once defeated the Japanese in the Zhejiang-Fujian battlefield.
But after going to the Sulu Border Region, Zhu Liangcheng suddenly disappeared.
In the past year, Principal Chang has hardly heard of the name Zhu Liangcheng very much.
"Zhu Liangcheng?" Chen Shi was furious after hearing this, "Isn't it just a nonsense!"
He Yingpei also said with a dark face: "Zhu Liangcheng has too little qualifications and is not qualified to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar War Zone."
Bai Chong was sad and Liu Sheng was very tacit in his opinion because they had already communicated with Li Guangxi.
Li Guangxi's vision was still very accurate. He could see at a glance that the successor of the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar War Zone could only look at the result of the game between Zhong Yi and the Americans.
In this matter, the National Government and President Chang have no right to speak.
Therefore, whether Zhong Yi is willing to leave or not is not up to them to decide who will take over after he leaves.
Since that's the case, why bother to fight openly and secretly here? It's a matter of nothing, why bother?
Only Chen Shi and He Yingpei, the two idiots, cannot see through and are still daydreaming there. It is really pitiful.
Sure enough, seeing Chen Shi and He Yingpei objected, Jansen's face immediately collapsed and said, "General Chen, there is General Secretary He, I hope you two can understand one thing. This is not asking for your opinions. This is a decision, a decision, do you understand? Zhu Liangcheng replaced Zhong Yi as the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar War Zone, and has been approved by the Allied General Command!"
"Mom Xipi!" President Chang said furiously, "Shouldn't the Allied General Command first seek me as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese theater? No matter what, Zhu Liangcheng is a senior general of our National Government? Is the Allied General Command transferred personnel from the Chinese theater, and does not need to obtain the consent of me, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese theater?"
