Chapter 840 He is angry
After Wang Meng returned to Pingshun, a group photo of the "Big Four" appeared on the front pages of major newspapers.
An article in the New York Times titled "The Rise of Empire" ignited the enthusiasm of all Chinese in Country M and the independent column personnel stationed in Country M.
Chen Shaokuan's navy and researchers from the Ship Research Institute sent a unanimous telegram to Pingshun, asking him to return home immediately.
Wang Meng and Li Yunlong had already felt their expectations from between the lines.
"Mengzi, they should be able to come back now, right?"
"Sure! The original plan was to set off in June, but now it's already August. I think we should let them return home with the M merchant ship and join us in southern Myanmar."
Li Yunlong was a little curious. Wasn't there only one aircraft carrier fleet? Why were there merchant ships from Country M?
"Mengzi, what's in the merchant ship?"
"It's our aircraft production line, vehicle production line and industrial workers. This is an extremely important part of our 10 billion contract!"
Li Yunlong was smiling happily. Although the F6F Hellcat had already been copied, what he brought back this time was the production line of large transport aircraft and bombers. By then, the blue sky of China would be filled with China's own aircraft!
Although Wang Meng was extremely ecstatic inside, he was now more under pressure. After all, he not only had to fight on two fronts, but also had to handle the relationship with the central government.
Look, Chang Guangzhou is furious in his official residence at this moment.
"Xun'en, when Roosevelt invited the Independent Column, didn't he say that they were just for observation and Jianfeng (Jiang Yunchu) was the leader?"
"Sir, I have asked the staff who went with me, and the situation at that time was quite complicated. To put it simply, President Roosevelt originally intended to sell out China's interests and ask Country E to send troops to the Northeast.
In order not to anger Roosevelt, Jianfeng chose to endure. Now it was Wang Meng's turn to come out and show off, and then he started talks with the three countries on behalf of China.
In a sense, Jianfeng's forbearance this time avoided direct conflict with the Three Kingdoms."
After listening to what Chen Bulei said, Chang Guangzhou's anger subsided a little.
"Haha, since the independent column is willing to take the lead, then let them take the lead! China is still weak now, and it will be no good to rashly offend the three major powers."
Chang Guangzhou's little drama in his heart began to play out again. Now he wished that Stalin would send troops directly to North China and defeat the independent column.
"Sir, now we can just accept that Wang Meng is our ambassador. There is no need to ignore him or win him over. This way, we can move freely both domestically and internationally."
Chang Guangzhou nodded, asking the Chinese people to attribute this achievement not only to the independent column, but also to the central government. And let the three major powers vent all their anger on the independent column.
"Great. Do you think we will be involved in the battles in Northeast China and Western Yunnan next?"
"We are far from the Northeast, and we only have a few intelligence stations. As for western Yunnan, we can take the initiative. We need to let the M people see the rewards of their assistance. Then we may have a chance to get more assistance and support!"
Chang Guangzhou walked to the battle map and set his sights on western Yunnan.
During these ten days, the nine divisions and three brigades that arrived in northern Myanmar had been replenished and launched attacks on important towns on the Burma Road from multiple routes.
Prepare to regain control of the Yunnan-Burma Commonwealth Committee which was taken back by the British Army and the Indian Expeditionary Force.
The 23th Division of the 104rd Army supported Myitkyina and attacked Bhamo and Kasa to its south.
The 23nd Brigade and the 22rd Brigade of the 23rd Army attacked Lawu.
The 11rd, 3th and 13th Divisions of the 39th Army attacked Chomei and Mandalay.
The 11th and 40th Divisions of the 58th Army attacked Tonggu.
The 11th Division, 34th Division and 68th Brigade of the 17th Army attacked Yangguang.
In addition, the 3rd Air Force was assembled, which included the 5th Air Division, the 9th Air Division, the 55th Air Division, and the Independent 10th Air Regiment, with a total of more than aircraft.
The Japanese couldn't wait to occupy southern Myanmar and then cut off the aid route to China, further weakening the influence of the United States in China.
Moreover, the Japanese had another idea, which was to attack the Imphal Plateau in India after completely occupying southern Myanmar, pick off the "brightest jewel in the crown" of the British Queen and take it for themselves.
The Japanese were also forced into a desperate situation. Now large tracts of Chinese land had been liberated by the Independent Column, and they were very self-aware. They felt that since they could not defeat the enemy even with the whole country's strength, they should just forget it and focus their strategy directly on Southeast Asia.
Rice from southern Myanmar, oil from Indonesia, rubber from Thailand, and large amounts of copper, iron, aluminum, gold, nickel, etc. can prolong the life of the lingering Japanese devils.
Therefore, during these ten days, except for a few important towns, the entire route of the Burma Road was occupied by the Japanese.
The New First Army of the Indian Expeditionary Force (under which were composed the New 30th Division and the New 38th Division) was defeated by the 104th Division and the 18th Division stationed in Burma, and had retreated from Myitkyina to Indo in central southern Myanmar.
The war situation in the entire southern Myanmar is now a mess.
Chang Guangzhou ordered the 11th Army and the 20th Army to cross the Nujiang River and attack western Yunnan.
The next morning, Wang Meng's plane landed in Chongqing.
Without stopping, he, accompanied by Li Muzhi, went directly to the official residence to meet Chang Guangzhou.
"Sir, I took over the responsibility in Yalta this time because the situation was urgent and I had no time to ask for instructions. So I did my best to fight for the interests.
I was thinking at the time that if I said or did anything inappropriate, it would be my sole responsibility and would have nothing to do with you or the central government. I hope you would not blame me.
If I can exchange my life or honor for the benefit of China, it is worth it! "
Chang Guangzhou looked normal. It seemed that he had discovered his little thoughts?
"Haha, Chief of Staff Wang, you are joking. Since you have no self in your heart and are doing this entirely for the country, how can I blame you?"
Chang Guangzhou pondered for a moment, looking at Wang Meng who had lowered his posture, his heart full of emotion, the Yangtze River's new generation pushes the old generation forward.
This time he fought a life-and-death battle with Li Zongren, and Li Zongren suffered little loss, and he had nothing to lose as a single man, but he lost a large number of troops, as well as the reputation and prestige he had accumulated with great difficulty.
Now, within the party, the military, and even the government, there are growing voices of dissatisfaction with him. Although he is still the leader in name only, it is indeed possible that he will soon be just a "name" leader.
Chang Guangzhou's thoughts drifted back, and then he continued:
"At the request of Country M, in three days, the 11th Army and the 20th Army in western Yunnan will cross the Nujiang River and launch an attack on Songshan, Longling, and Tengchong to relieve the pressure on the Burma Road. Your Flying Tigers and ground scouts will need support by then."
