Chapter 1883 the dust settles

Unfortunately, no matter how hysterical Principal Chang is, it is useless.

Because Jensen has been in China for many years, he knows better than anyone else what kind of person Principal Chang is.

When facing his compatriots, President Chang was decisive in killing, especially when facing the Communist Party, the butcher knife was even sharper than a razor.

But when he faced Western powers, he always looked humble.

So, Jansen said toughly: "Mr. Chang, I must solemnly declare to you that this is not only the decision of the Allied Command, but also the decision of the US government!"

Principal Chang closed his mouth obediently.

However, his face was still very bad.

After all, Principal Chang was a little embarrassed because he was stolen in front of so many subordinates.

Fortunately, Jansen is also a sleek diplomat, and he knows how to restore the image of Principal Chang at this time.

Jansen said now: "However, as compensation, the US government can take out a considerable portion of the weapons and equipment produced in the industrial zone in northern Myanmar to supply the Chinese army."

"Really?" Principal Chang was overjoyed.

In a state of happiness, the unhappiness just now disappeared instantly.

Because the industrial zone in northern Myanmar produces American equipment.

And part of what Jansen said is definitely not a small number.

At least it must be a full set of American equipment from one or even several armies, including 155mm caliber howitzers, P-38 blitz fighters, and perhaps even Sherman M4 tanks.

This is a timely help for the national army, which is deeply suffering from lack of equipment.

"It's true." Jansen nodded happily and continued, "However, Stilwell is responsible for this matter, and you can send someone to contact him."

"Stilwell?"

Principal Chang's face collapsed again.

If among all Americans, President Chang was asked to choose someone he was least willing to deal with, then Stilwell would definitely be the one whom he was reluctant to deal with.

Although Stilwell in this time and space rarely have direct contact with President Chang.

But the misconfrontation between the two of them still inevitably happened.

Now, the two of them are very disgusted with each other.

Stilwell even disclosed his diary about President Chang to the Associated Press reporter, one of which he called President Chang peanuts in a very contemptuous tone.

But now, Jansen asked him to send someone to contact Stilwell.

Principal Chang instinctively felt that this matter would not be easy.

But no matter what, Jansen has given him enough face, so there is no room for discussion about Zhu Liangcheng's matter.

At that moment, Principal Chang nodded and said, "Okay, OK, I will issue a transfer order to the Sulu Border Region as soon as possible, so that Zhu Liangcheng can rush to Myanmar to take office as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Chen Shi, He Yingpei's face showed disappointment.

Especially He Yingpei, his desire to take this opportunity to regain military power was once again disappointed.

What made him even more desperate was that after missing this opportunity, there would probably be no such opportunity again. It would be difficult for the Japanese non-commissioned officers to make a comeback in the national army.

...

Zhong Yi has returned to Mandalay Chief Office.

Although Xiao Bing was a little unhappy, what could he do? State affairs are the priority.

As soon as he returned to the office and sat down, Stilwell walked in excitedly.

"Zhong, I have to tell you some good news." Stilwell said excitedly, "Chang Kaishen is not stupid at all. He has agreed to our request."

"Zhu Liangcheng's transfer order has been sent to the Sulu War Zone."

"No accident, Zhu Liangcheng will set off soon."

"Is that true?" Zhong Yi smiled, "This is really good news."

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "But, it shouldn't be that simple, right?"

Stilwell said in surprise: "Zhong, what do you mean? Why isn't it that simple?"

Zhong Yi said: "Based on my understanding of Principal Chang, he will definitely propose exchange conditions at this time."

"Okay, I really can't hide anything from you," said Stilwell. "He did ask us to provide equipment to the national army in northern Myanmar Industrial Zone."

"How many?" Zhong Yi asked, "1 army?"

"You underestimate his appetite too much," Stilwell shrugged, "He needs the full set of 10 armies, and must have the same standards as the six armies in the Myanmar War Zone."

"The equipment of 10 armies?" Zhong Yi sneered, "This is nothing more than asking for a sky-high price. General Stilwell, you can bargain on the spot, ignore him."

"Of course," said Stilwell, "I have replied to him clearly, giving him up to three armies, and the equipment of the first army will be until June next year, and the remaining two armies will be until the end of next year."

"The equipment of the industrial zone in northern Myanmar must be given priority to the Myanmar War Zone and the African War Zone."

Zhong Yi said: "General Stilwell, there will be no major wars in Myanmar recently, so I suggest you better go to China to learn about the situation of the front-line national army, especially their morale and equipment, and see if they really need equipment? Or if these American equipment are in their hands, can they play their due role?"

"Oh?" said Stilwell, "Zhong, what do you mean? Don't you believe in the national army?"

"No, I don't believe in the national army!" Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "As far as I know, the grassroots soldiers of the national army have good morale, and grassroots officers are also good officers."

Stilwell said: "What about? What about the intermediate officers and senior generals?"

"This is hard to describe." Zhong Yi said, "I suggest you better take a look."

"Okay, I will go and see it." Stilwell said thoughtfully, "I heard that in China, in addition to the national army, there are also the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by the Communist Party. They performed very well on the battlefield, and I will also take a look at this army."

Zhong Yi's goal was achieved completely. He immediately gave Stilwell a thumbs up and said happily: "General Stilwell is wise."

"Actually, your real intention is to hope that I will go and inspect the Communist army, right?" Stilwell reacted, "just hope to speak out through my mouth."

Zhong Yi said: "I haven't said it."

He would not admit such a thing.

Stilwell did not get too entangled with this issue, and then said, "Then let's get back to the point. How many armies do you plan to bring to Africa this time?"

"Don't tell me, I don't have a group of troops."

Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Of course this is impossible."

If you don’t bring any army, it will be useless even if you go to Africa.
