General Stilwell had just returned to Lambga from Chongqing. General Mountbatten and General Slim, and General Wingate arrived early in the morning to hear the situation report on General Stilwell's trip to Chongqing.

It was originally planned that as soon as the dry season arrived, that is, in October, a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese army invaded Myanmar was launched. The Chinese Expeditionary Force set out from Kunming to force the Nujiang River to attack the Japanese army, the Chinese army stationed in India and the US army launched an attack on the Japanese army in northern Myanmar, and the British army launched an attack on the southern part of central and southern Myanmar.

In March this year, the US military had airdropped or infiltrated several contingents into the Japanese-occupied area in northern Myanmar. These contingents either destroyed the Japanese transportation lines, harassed the Japanese army, or reconnaissed Japanese intelligence. The US military plans to invest 10,000 troops, 10,000 engineers, and several squadrons of air forces in Myanmar.

Part one of the Army conducts special operations, and the other combines with the Chinese army stationed in India to form a special melee team to fight against Japan. Stilwell and British generals both have a special liking for special operations, thinking that special operations are the key to victory. The US engineers have two tasks: one is to build the China-India highway, and the other is to open up roads and build bridges for the counterattack operations of the Chinese army stationed in India and the US army. The Air Force is responsible for protecting the security of the sky, bombing the Japanese army, and reconnaissing Japanese intelligence.

Britain invested two armies, tens of thousands of army forces, and a large number of naval forces. Judging from the plan, the British army was the main force. The number of troops and equipment invested was very huge. From February to June this year, General Wingate organized and led the Chindi team to enter the Japanese-occupied area of ​​Myanmar from India. The journey was thousands of miles and the supply was provided by the British Air Force, causing some damage to the Japanese army. More importantly, it inspired the confidence of the Allies and made it clear that the Allies could also defeat the Japanese army in the jungle. Due to his victory, he was promoted to a wartime army general, and the army also expanded from 3,000 to 20,000. This team is now reorganized into the 3rd Indian Division, with 5 brigades under its jurisdiction.

India, Malaysia and Thailand were all British territories at that time, and Britain appeared here as its master.

The United Kingdom is responsible for providing clothing, food and all other supplies for the Chinese army in India. The United States is responsible for arming the Chinese army and training it.

China is responsible for the release of people.

The number of soldiers in Britain is very sufficient. Since this area is full of British territory, it is very convenient to recruit soldiers.

The number of US troops is seriously insufficient, so we can only ask China to send troops and the United States will be armed.

Now there is only one army in India. Stilwell believes that the troops are seriously insufficient. During this trip to Chongqing, he reached an agreement with Chongqing to transfer another army to China before the end of the year. It also agreed that the Chinese army stationed in India was responsible for the main attack and the Chinese Expeditionary Force was deputy attacking. Due to the barrier of the Nujiang Chaser, the attack direction was all continuous mountainous areas. The Japanese army built a large number of defensive fortifications. The strong attack could not only prevent the Japanese army, but on the contrary, it may suffer heavy losses. After a Chinese army arrived, it planned to establish a headquarters and a staff department. Chongqing agreed. However, differences arose on the candidates for the headquarters and the staff department, and the two sides held a bargaining discussion.

Establishing the China Expeditionary Force is a great thing for China. First, it is hoped that it will open up the land transportation line between China and India and transport foreign aid to China continuously. Second, it can arm dozens of Chinese army divisions to enable the Chinese army to develop rapidly into the world's most advanced army. Therefore, Chongqing focused its strategic focus on the direction of the Southwest and India, and all counterattacks on other battlefields were suspended. Once this direction is victorious and the expeditionary force is transferred back to China, it will be easier to defeat the Japanese army.

Stilwell also proposed to Chongqing that China should imitate the US military system to establish an Army Command to coordinate and command the entire Chinese army to counterattack the Japanese army. The headquarters planned to establish Kunming and Zhijiang. Chongqing agreed.

Regarding the Zhang Junhot melee team, Stilwell thought this was a heroic force with great military achievements and had strong ability to overcome difficulties, but because he was not familiar with the climate and environment of the tropical rainforest in Myanmar, it was necessary to adapt it. Colonel Beck was the captain and Zhang Junhao was the deputy captain. The captains of each team were all served by the US military, and some Kachin people, Burmese and Indians who were familiar with the Burmese environment were added.

Chongqing disagreed with Stilwell's opinion, thinking that the Special Melee team had grown into a mature special operations force during the War of Resistance in Zhejiang. Zhang Junhao naturally formed the soul of the unit and was marked with a profound impression of Zhang Junhao. If the Americans were allowed to be the captain, the Special Melee team would no longer be the Special Melee team. Zhang Junhao has a very unique personality. If he forcibly deprived of his command, he would leave the Special Melee team to fight the Japanese alone. Even if he wanted to adapt the Special Melee team, he had to discuss with Zhang Junhao. If Zhang Junhao disagreed, he could not be adapted. Zhang Junhao's opinions must be fully respected on the adaptation matters.

Stilwell admires the qualities of Chinese soldiers very much, thinking that Chinese soldiers are brave, fearless, wise, and have unparalleled patience. However, officers do not master modern advanced military theories and have no ability to command large-scale battles. Myanmar counterattack war is a three-dimensional battle between sea, land and air, special operations and conventional operations, frontal operations and battles behind enemy lines. Chinese commanders are not able to command in any case. Stilwell listed the many difficulties encountered by General Wingate and General Wavell in leading special operations troops into the Japanese-occupied areas and Japanese combat, and thought that Zhang Junhao's ability was not necessarily as high as these two generals. Stilwell said that he admired Zhang Junhao very much and respected Zhang Junhao the most, but the situation in Myanmar counterattack war determined that the special melee team could only be captained by Colonel Beck.

Chongqing proposed to discuss with Zhang Junhao in person, and if Zhang Junhao agrees, he will follow Stilwell's idea. If Zhang Junhao disagrees, don't force it.

After all, Chongqing has been forced to hand over the command of the Chinese army in India to Stilwell. Stilwell is now the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army in India and has all the command of the counterattack in northern Myanmar. If Chongqing wants to preserve Zhang Junhot's command of the mixed combat, he can only do his best, and Stilwell will eventually have to decide.

In November, the president will be invited to attend the Cairo Conference. This meeting is not only a matter of equality with the great powers in the past century, but also concerns China's status after the War of Resistance and after the war.

However, the major powers in the north oppose China's participation in the meeting, and the leaders refused to attend the meeting. The UK strongly opposed China's proposal to abolish all unequal treaties imposed on China by the great powers, and also opposed China's participation. Only the United States sees the most clearly the value of China's war of resistance and vigorously lobbies all parties to firmly support China's participation.

It is not easy for China, which has a history of humiliation for a century, to enter the core stage of the world and discuss international and domestic affairs with the great powers?

Against this background, how dare Chongqing deny Stilwell's opinion? Now that it is a stalemate with Stilwell, it is not good for national interests.

The notice on the trip to Chongqing was over with Stilwell, General Mountbatten, General Slim and General Wingate, and the three of them started drinking coffee in the conference room.

Colonel Baike came in and reported to Stilwell, saying that Zhang Junhao was useless.

General Mountbatten was furious and sternly said: "Take Zhang Junhao immediately and let me meet this thorn in person."
