Chapter 708 He Said He Was Simple
? When seeing Ma Qian'an's reaction and hearing Ma Qian'an's sarcastic words, Davis was obviously a little stunned.
After a moment of silence, Davis spoke again. Davis was much more cautious. He had already thought to himself that General Pony in front of him was not a fool, and he never showed a flattering and flattering expression in front of him. This was significantly different from the important members he had seen. He neither acted humble nor pretended to be strong, but he really had strong self-confidence. Only confident people could not be humble or arrogant.
"This person cannot be underestimated." Davis snorted in his heart.
Helpless Davis had to tell the truth.
"Okay, General Ma, since you want to listen to the truth, I will tell you the truth. However, even if you are unwilling to follow General Stilwell's ideas, you must not disclose the content of today's conversation. You promise I will say it."
Ma Qian'an raised his right hand without hesitation and replied piously and firmly: "I promise!"
Stilwell thought about the words and slowly said: "I am here to shoulder the important task assigned to me by General Stilwell. The previous ones are all the opening remarks, and I think I didn't say it."
Ma Zhanshan drooped his eyelids, looked at the roof of the tent with a slanted eye, speechless.
"General Stilwell is interested in the combat effectiveness of your army. He wants to support you vigorously. He needs as much military supplies as you can eat."
Davis thought that this sentence was a bombshell, and thought that Ma Qian'an would be so excited after hearing this. He was waiting for Ma Qian'an's exclamation with great interest. After waiting for Ma Qian'an for a long time, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Why are you not excited? Davis looked at Ma Qian'an suspiciously.
"Give you food, weapons and ammunition, give as much as you want." Davis repeated.
"Purpose?"
"Kill more Japanese devils."
"Let us kill a few more Japanese for you? So that you can die less in the future? The lives of Americans are so precious."
"My friend was wrong!" Davis seemed unable to tolerate Ma Qian'an's cynical attitude and said seriously: "It's not to kill for us, but to prevent you from being killed by Japan!"
Ma Qian'an was silent and put away his mocking mentality. The truth is unbreakable, no matter who he came from. Indeed, Stilwell strongly assisted the combat-capable Chinese team, and indeed wanted the Chinese to fight a few more Japanese to reduce the pressure on the US military to fight on land with the Japanese army. But who can say that Davis' rebuttal is unreasonable? The first thing we fight with the Japanese is to avoid being killed by the Japanese is the most accurate statement and cannot be refuted.
But Ma Qian'an was unwilling to be at a disadvantage in his words, so he fought back a little.
"The idea is good, but I think it's too difficult to achieve. To assist a ** army, even if you agree on Capitol Hill, can General Stilwell convince Peanuts? You should know that Mr. Peanuts regards us as thorns. It would be nice to not pull our backs. He also agreed to give us supplies? A fantasy."
"Just agree." Davis aimed at Ma Zhanshan's bald head with great meaning.
Ma Zhanshan finally understood that the word "peanuts" refers to Lao Jiang. He couldn't help but give Ma Qian'an anger and then give Davis a look.
Ma Qian'an shouted: "What do you mean if I agree? I haven't agreed yet. Things are not that simple. What is your Stilwell's idea? I thought you were willing to tell the truth and were about to make friends with you, but I didn't expect you to go around in circles. It's really..."
In fact, Ma Qian'an was already extremely happy. Davis looked confident. Obviously, there was a solution. Moreover, Ma Qian'an had already guessed a little, and he was waiting for him to shake out.
Borani seemed very anxious. Davis and Ma Qian'an had been in trouble for a long time, but he still didn't talk about the topic. He felt a headache. Borani was not as good as Davis for his careful work. It seemed that Davis had just solved the topic and was very interested. General Pony was not a good cake, so he had a lot of fun with him.
These two people...ah! Bolani sighed in his heart. Is it so fun to cover up his lips and talk? I really want to slap you two to death.
"It's very simple." Davis said slowly: "Flowers... Chairman Jiang is easy to talk about. General Stilwell can distribute supplies to General Ma Zhanshan, so that you Chairman Jiang and our Congress have nothing to say, right? Then... you know."
Davis' speech was interrupted twice, and each time made sense.
Ma Qian'an immediately looked at Ma Zhanshan and asked with a smile: "Do you old man understand?"
Ma Zhanshan replied angrily: "It's a big deal, do you really treat me as a fool? What do you don't know? I just want me to transfer the supplies to you? I want to keep half of them, and the two of you can settle the score clearly. You can borrow my name, so you can leave me the money to buy the way."
"Thirty percent!"
Ma Zhanshan raised his eyebrows: "At least 40%, if not, you will be knocked down!"
"You are more cruel than my own father, 40% of the deal! The deal is done!"
After being separated from Ma Zhanshan, Ma Qian'an turned his face and showed his cleverness to Davis, "Old Dai, what else does General Stilwell have?"
Davis was a little amused by the title of Lao Dai.
"No! Our General Stilwell is selfless. He just wants to help you fight the Japanese. There are no other requirements at all. However... if you accept some US military advisers and every time you write a war report on the 11th War Zone in the future, you can add a few words to praise General Stilwell, I think General Stilwell would be very happy."
“What about?”
"For example, we can add 'Under the wise guidance of General Stilwell, China's 11th War Zone achieved another amazing victory', and for example, 'According to General Stilwell's pre-conceived and combat plan, the 11th War Zone won another great victory, recovering the land, ah... and so on."
"I thought he was Lei Feng."
"Who is Lei Feng?"
Ma Qian'an shrugged his shoulders and said that he would not answer this question. He thought that Stilwell could finally be unable to hold back and was ready to intervene in China's affairs. There is nothing more fulfilling than supporting a Chinese army that can fight with his own hands. Controlling a strong army like Ma Zhanshan, which is not the direct troops of Chiang Kai-shek's lineage, is most in line with his wishes. Even nominal control can best increase his reputation.
Ma Zhanshan hesitated: "I'm afraid Chiang Kai-shek will be unhappy if he praises Stilwell so much."
Davis said lightly, "I understand you Chinese. You are a warlord. I believe you are loyal to your motherland and people, but you will never be loyal to peanuts. In the future, your military pay and supplies will be covered by us Americans. Do you have guns, soldiers and food? Are you worried that Chairman Jiang will be happy?"
Oh my god! Are you talking too plainly? Ma Zhanshan glared at Davis fiercely, but Ma Zhanshan was really moved by the conditions offered by Davis.
This determination is difficult. If Davis is agreed, it means that it is very likely to break up with Chiang Kai-shek. Although Chiang Kai-shek will not be labeled as a surrender to the Americans for the time being, how should the Americans face Chiang Kai-shek after the war? Ma Zhanshan is not mentally prepared for this.
Ma Qian'an knew that Ma Zhanshan was hesitating, so he pulled him outside and asked a question.
"Uncle, what are the main problems we are facing now?"
"That's more to say? Of course, it's to fight the Japanese, fight the Japanese, or fight the Japanese!"
"Isn't this over? Let's talk about what's going on in the future, let's take a look at the moment."
Ma Zhanshan fell into deep thought.
Ma Qian'an walked into the tent himself and asked Davis, who was waiting for the result, "I said Lao Dai, why do you choose me?"
"Because you can fight, it is not possible for anyone to eliminate 5,000 Japanese troops in one battle."
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple! We Americans are the simplest." Davis answered with a strange smile with a blink of an eye.
