Chapter 1896 admit counsel
Washington, USA.
The secretary pushed Roosevelt in a wheelchair and was basking in the sun on the lawn of the White House.
Army Chief of Staff Marshall and Secretary of State Hull were with Roosevelt.
While enjoying the warm sunshine of early spring, Roosevelt said to Marshall: "George, have you heard of it? Zhong Yi just got off the ship and beat Less, commander-in-chief of the British 8th Army."
"Of course, of course I heard about it." Marshall nodded, "This guy Zhong Yi is really arrogant."
"But they have arrogant capital, right?" Hull said. "With the current situation in the battlefield in West Asia, except for Zhong Yi, there is probably no one who can turn the tide."
"This is the most annoying thing." Marshall nodded and said, "This guy Zhong Yi is completely different from other senior Chinese generals, and is even more different from their leader Chang Kaishen."
"Yes." Roosevelt sighed, "Chang Kaishen is very respectful to the West, fearing that one wrong step will make the West unhappy, but Zhong Yi is not like this at all."
"This guy is really a taboo to act."
"For China's national interests, he can really do anything."
"This is a real evil wolf, and maybe it will really fight back against America in the future."
"But, this evil wolf can fight." Marshall said helplessly, "Only Zhong Yi, the evil wolf, can defeat Rommel, the cunning and fierce fox."
"It's true." Hull also said, "There are not many senior generals among the Allies who have experience in commanding large corps combat operations, and Alexander can be said to be the best among them."
"Unfortunately, Alexander was defeated by Rommel in Alamein."
"Barton may be an excellent commander, but now his command experience is too lacking. It is really unrealistic to expect him to take on the battlefield in West Asia."
"So, Zhong Yi is our only hope."
"Okay, okay." Roosevelt breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Call immediately to the British government and ask Prime Minister Churchill to personally issue an order to the British army on the battlefield in the West Asia. It is necessary to make it clear that all the Allies in the entire battlefield in the West Asia, whether British, American or Chinese, must unconditionally obey Zhong Yi's command!"
"If anyone disobeys, Zhong Yi will deal with it in the last battle... No, the power to change generals in the last battle!"
...
No. 10 Downing Street, the British Prime Minister’s Residence.
After receiving the telegram sent by Roosevelt by himself, Churchill was furious.
"Farke, let it go!" Churchill slapped his pipe on the table, waved his chubby arms and roared loudly, "This damn country bumpkin, nouveau riche, has he taught the British Empire a lesson?"
"It's really a rebellious thing. Don't think they can do whatever they want with a little bit of money."
The staff next to him heard this and murmured in a low voice: Prime Minister, you can really do whatever you want if you have money.
"Farke, John, what were you talking about just now?" Unexpectedly, Churchill's ears were very sharp and he heard them.
"Oh, my honorable Prime Minister, I was just saying that the Americans are really ungrateful." The aide said panic, "We should teach them a lesson and let them know that the British Empire is the superpower in the world today! If they blaspheme the dignity of the superpower, they must be punished as due."
"Punishment?" Churchill snorted coldly, "What you said is light, how do you punish? Do you punish them to reduce aid to the British Empire? Reduce the total loan amount of aid to the British Empire from $20 billion to $10 billion?"
"Uh..." The aide was speechless when he heard this, but he said helplessly, "Didn't I agree with you?" Is this also wrong? It's really difficult to be your aide, it's so difficult to serve.
Churchill said again: "Call the 8th Army Command immediately and let Lis go back to England immediately, and the commander-in-chief of the 8th Army will be taken over by Mike."
"From today, the divisions under the 8th Army must unconditionally obey Zhong Yi's orders."
"If anyone dares to violate the orders of the Allied Headquarters and dismiss the post on the spot, the nobles will be removed from their titles."
"Ah? Removal of the title?" the aide said in a shock. "Prime Minister, this shouldn't be the case, right? Just a Chinese guy, as for giving him such a great face?"
"Where is giving a Chinese man such a big face, where will the face of our British Empire be put?"
"Compared with the life and death of the empire, what is the mere face?" Churchill snorted coldly and continued, "What's more, now I have lost face in front of the Chinese, and I will get it back ten times or a hundred times in the future."
"In short, it is urgent to defeat Germany and ensure that the British Empire's reign can continue."
...
In a blink of an eye, another half month has passed.
Time came to April 1942.
Wang Geng led several subsequent divisions of the expeditionary army to Kuwait one after another and met with Zhong Yi.
Zhong Yi originally did not intend to take Wang Geng away, but in the end he decided to take Wang Geng with him.
Because after Zhu Liangcheng came to office, Wang Geng stayed in office as Chief of Staff of the Myanmar War Zone again.
Wang Geng walked into Zhong Yi's office with a telegram and said with a smile: "Master, the British actually admit defeat."
"This is the expected result." Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Because the British knows that admitting to us is just a loss of face, but admitting to Germany is a death."
"Compared to losing face and dying, that's nothing."
"What the chief officer said is very much." Wang Geng said with a smile, "But only the chief officer has such courage. If it were someone else, I would have been kneeling in front of Lis."
"Brother Shouqing, don't talk about this anymore." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Since the troops have arrived, it's time to enter adaptive training to let the soldiers adapt to the desert terrain and climate of West Asia as soon as possible."
"That's right." Wang Geng said deeply, "The terrain and climate in West Asia are far from our country. In our country, it is still cold in spring, but in West Asia it is already thirty or forty degrees high! There is also terrain, which is basically desert terrain. If you don't know how to enter it rashly, you will definitely be trapped in the yellow sand all over the sky."
Zhong Yi nodded and said, "The main thing is to explore and be familiar with the tactics of desert terrain."
"Well, I understand." Wang Geng said deeply, "Desert combat is a new topic. We are already familiar with hilly terrain combat, plain terrain combat and jungle terrain combat, but we have no idea about desert terrain combat. This really requires our General Staff to study in depth."
