Every sentence and every word Meng Shaoyuan said today was unabashedly directed at the British.
Colonel Griffith's face became increasingly ugly.
The Chinese soldier who died in the British military camp is full of doubts.
But one thing is beyond doubt:
The British troops ran away.
As soon as he heard the news of the Japanese attack, Lieutenant Colonel Benson ran away with his troops without hesitation.
In fact, this is not unusual at all on the battlefield in Myanmar.
All the British troops were on the run.
If you don't run, that would be weird.
However, no one revealed this open secret.
Everyone is pretending that nothing happened.
Of course the British will not expose their shortcomings.
Although the Chinese were full of grievances, they kept their grievances in order to maintain the friendship and cooperation with the Allies.
Only in Meimiao did a Chinese military officer tell the "truth" without hesitation:
You are running away!
In front of the Japanese, you are just a bunch of cowards!
A group of self-righteous cowards who faced a disastrous defeat and had to beg the Chinese army for help, but still acted like the boss of the empire!
This person is, of course, Meng Shaoyuan!
"Regarding the abnormal death of our officer Yang Sui, I request the joint investigation team to immediately launch a comprehensive investigation." Meng Shaoyuan was aggressive: "In order to ensure that the investigation can be conducted under the principle of fairness and justice, all investigation processes must be jointly conducted by the Chinese and British The announcement will be made under the joint supervision of the investigation team and the Mei Miao Coordination Office!”
Colonel Griffey would have none of it.
Of course he knew what that meant.
This means that the truth about the Mei Miao British Army running away without a fight will be made public.
This means that the embarrassing situation of the British army in Myanmar will soon be known to the whole world.
Zhou Zhizai finally understood one thing at this time:
Why did Meng Shaoyuan do this?
At this point, Zhou Zhi was basically certain that Yang Sui's death was most likely arranged by Meng Shaoyuan.
He wanted to use Yang Sui's death to target the British's weaknesses.
Because he was sure that the British would not dare to investigate the incident to the end.
The officers and soldiers of the 200 Division hated the British army with gnashing of teeth, including Zhou Zhizai.
But now, an officer who is not actually part of the 200 Division has given the British a huge embarrassment and problem.
It was time for him to help Meng Shaoyuan.
Zhou Zhi coughed again: "Yang Sui was also one of my subordinates, and I felt very sad about his death. However, I think there must be a big secret behind Yang Sui's death in the British military camp. However, if Continuing the investigation is also detrimental to stabilizing the situation in Meimiao."
Colonel Griffith was full of gratitude to Zhou Zhizai at this moment.
It was him who helped him get out of his embarrassment.
Zhou Zhi continued: "Director Meng, I suggest that this matter be settled here and that Yang Sui's family be given double the pension. Do you have any other conditions?"
Do you have any other conditions?
It seemed that Zhou Zhizai was on the side of the British.
However, as soon as this sentence was asked, Meng Shaoyuan laughed in his heart. The chief of staff was the chief of staff after all, and he started acting with him.
His expression straightened: "In order to prevent people with ulterior motives, especially Japan, from using Yang Sui's death to create conflicts between China and Britain, I agree with Chief of Staff Zhou's opinion. As for other conditions, I think that the previous friction between China and Britain, Writing it off and announcing the investigation results were all caused by misunderstandings.
Secondly, in view of the great psychological trauma caused by Yang Sui's death, and the fact that the British troops in Mei Miao have withdrawn, our department will independently assume the responsibility of protecting Mei Miao. Due to the imminent Japanese attack on Meimiao and ambushes, and the frequent activities of Japanese special forces and Burmese guerrillas, please allow our department to use the military camps and weapons and supplies left by the British army. "
The implication behind the words is that Mei Miao has nothing to do with you British people.
Now that you've left, don't come back again.
Colonel Griffith was conflicted.
Commander Alexander believes that Meimiao is geographically important and is the center of Pingmanna. If it is completely handed over to the hands of the Chinese, the British power in the area will be gone.
Therefore, Alexander requested that Lieutenant Colonel Benson should continue to garrison Meimiao.
The problem is that the Chinese have firmly grasped the death of a soldier and made a big fuss there.
If the British troops return, the investigation will never end.
More and more inside stories will be revealed.
The British army will be in a severely passive position.
Another point is also the most important:
Lieutenant Colonel Benson and his troops were frightened.
They are absolutely unwilling to go back to that terrible place to face the possible arrival of the Japanese army!
"I suggest adjourning the meeting temporarily." Colonel Griffith thought again and again: "Convene the meeting again in three hours!"
Meng Shaoyuan and Zhou Zhizai both knew that Colonel Griffith was going to report to Alexander.
They immediately agreed to Colonel Griffith's request.
"General Meng, you are so majestic." Zhou Zhizai said jokingly as soon as Colonel Griffith left.
"Chief of Staff, please stop hurting me." Meng Shaoyuan was as embarrassed as he could be: "I'm not using the skin of a tiger as a banner, pretending to be the tiger's power."
"I don't care about this matter, and I can't control it." Zhou Zhi continued to struggle with this matter again, "What happened to Yang Sui's death?"
Meng Shaoyuan did not dare to hide anything and told the story in a low voice.
The more Zhou Zhizai heard, the uglier his face became: "There is such a scum among our 200 divisions? It's not an exaggeration to shoot him ten times, but you actually want such a person to be a martyr?"
"Chief of Staff, you are a soldier and I am a spy. Our methods of doing things are somewhat different. In order to achieve my goal, I will do many unintentional things." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "The Pingmanna War is about to break out. Miao is the central command position. If the British forces continue to stay here, you and I both know what the consequences will be.
However, if one Yang Sui can be exchanged for the complete elimination of the British power in Meimiao, I think it is worth it. "
"Chief of Staff Zhou." At this moment, Mao Renfeng came in: "Director Meng's methods may seem like some men are aggrieved, but in times of war, as long as you can win, any method can be used.
Today you have seen traitors become martyrs, but on the intelligence front, countless heroes are still bearing the infamy of traitors. Even, they can never be rehabilitated in their lifetime. The intelligence front is unique, and sometimes the truth is painful. "
Zhou Zhi was silent again.
Traitor or hero?
The truth is often buried quietly.
"Well, I don't understand these things." Zhou Zhi sighed again: "But I can make my attitude clear. If the results mentioned by Director Meng can be achieved, I am willing to cooperate and assist you in your work."
"Thank you, Chief of Staff, I can take care that you will have a happy ending!"
