"What do the Chinese people want to do? Open fire on the Allied forces and destroy the alliance. I want to accuse their evil deeds to His Excellency Alexander!"
Robert, who had been beaten with a stick, was beaten backwards. The villain complained first and wanted to put the conflict on the independent division's head. Of course, he didn't have time now.
The Japanese pursuers are getting closer and closer. If they cannot successfully pass through the Chinese defense zone, they are at risk of being overtaken by the Japanese and annihilated at any time.
"Shit, these barbaric Chinese people!"
After scolding him, he gave up. It was important for a hero not to suffer the immediate consequences, but to escape first. It happened that the heavy equipment was a burden for them to carry.
After sending his assistants to briefly communicate with He Zhenhua, they discarded all their heavy weapons and half of their light weapons, successfully passed through the 1st Brigade's defense area, and fled to the rear to complain to Alexander and Stevie.
"Brigadier, will this cause an international dispute if we do this?"
Gao Xiaoling couldn't help but ask one more question. He Zhenhua was still very polite to Gao Xiaoling, and the old political commissar's face should still be given.
"It's okay, this is just a bad lawsuit. John Bull also wants to save face. They can't stand it if we take away their equipment, so they proposed a plan of dropping the equipment themselves and us picking it up again;
In their words, this was a charity they gave us. I guess Robert was too embarrassed to report it to their superiors. At most, he said it was lost on the way to retreat. "
Gao Xiaoling suddenly realized that everyone who followed Chu Xiong was the same treacherous person, including her brother.
"Brigadier, if nothing happens here, I will go back to Snow Leopard. Just let me know if you need translation."
After Gao Xiaoling finished speaking, she left. After joining the Eighth Route Army, she still felt a little unhappy. She felt at ease only when she returned to the Snow Leopards.
He Zhenhua is an old man from the Seventh Company, so he naturally knows about the Gao family, so he usually won't be too harsh on Gao Xiaoling.
After Gao Xiaoling left, he went directly to the division headquarters. Naturally, he had to report such a big matter to Chu Xiong.
At the Independent Division Headquarters, after Chu Xiong listened to He Zhenhua's report, he didn't take it seriously at all. He just said one sentence - You're welcome to John Bull!
As Gao Xiaoling said, these people were all led astray by Chu Xiong. In the next few days, not only the first brigade, but also any John Bull troops that passed through the independent division's defense area would be left behind to buy them. Road wealth.
When the number of lawsuits increased, the lawsuit naturally went to Alexander. Sir Alexander's beard stood up in anger and he said angrily:
"What do these barbarians want to do? Chu Xiong is robbing allies. I will strictly hold them accountable and remove him from the post of Chief of Staff of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. At the same time, I will protest to China Zongcao and General Stevie. China must compensate us. Loss!"
Brigadier General Maguire, chief of staff of the garrison, coughed lightly, and then reminded in a low voice:
"Your Excellency Sir, we only have the right to command the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and we have no power to appoint or remove personnel. To remove Chu Xiong from his post, we must go through a certain process. We only have the right to make suggestions."
Alexander's anger obviously hadn't subsided yet. After being reminded by Maguire, he changed his words:
"Then protest to Yingjiang and Huaxia. Chu Xiong's position as chief of staff must be revoked. Otherwise, the responsibility for the breakdown of the alliance between the two parties will be borne by the Huaxia people!"
Alexander has a condescending attitude, which Maguire also thinks is fine. All the generals of the Empire on which the sun never sets are like this. They are the masters of the world.
In Zeng Jiayan’s official residence in the middle of Shu, Zhongcai’s roaring voice sounded again:
"Nang Xipi, what does Chu Xiong want to do? Does he have any sense of the overall situation? Stealing John Bull's equipment, is this what a general should do? It must be severely punished!
Revocation of the post of chief of staff of the Chuxiong Expeditionary Force——"
The next words were interrupted by Mr. Bray again. Only then did Zhong Zai remember that Chu Xiong's position was determined by Yingjiang. Compared with Yingjiang, John Bull was a little less interesting, so he changed his words:
"Changed to Acting Chief of Staff to serve as a warning to others!"
With just one official document, Chu Xiong's chief of staff became an agent. Not only did he not care, it seemed that Stilwell didn't care either. After he learned the result, he just shrugged.
Whoever holds those weapons is going to fight the Japanese, so it's not a big deal. Besides, many people in Chu's army don't even have a rifle, which doesn't make sense.
His mind was not on this at all. He was brewing a great counterattack plan and urgently needed Chu Xiong's support. For this reason, he even came to the independent division and went straight to the point without even a hint of politeness:
"Chu, the progress of the expeditionary force is too slow, like a snail crawling. I have a great counterattack plan and need your support."
Chu Xiong knew what was going on as soon as he heard this. The old man had selfish motives and was planning to dye his crown red with the blood of the expeditionary force.
In another time and space, his plan was directly rejected by Zang Zai, and from then on it became like fire and water.
Sure enough, before Chu Xiong could respond, he began to promote his great counterattack plan:
"Chu, the Chinese Expeditionary Force has 160,000 people, and the coalition forces have hundreds of thousands more. The total strength exceeds 300,000. The Japanese have only 4 divisions with less than 100,000 people. Our weapons and equipment are also superior to theirs. We should not fight. They are so conservative, we should counterattack the light and drive the damned Japanese into the sea!"
Chu Xiong secretly said:
"This old boy really thinks about it all the time. No wonder Bu Zhongcai likes it. He also doesn't think about the hundreds of thousands of John Hands and the Eagle Sauce Allied Forces thinking about war?"
Chu Xiong would still need the old man’s material support in the future, so he didn’t refuse of course and started practicing Eastern Tai Chi with him:
"General Stevie, I support your counterattack plan, but our independent division has less than 20,000 people. Even if I try to convince the New 7th Division and the New 9th Division, there will only be more than 50,000 people. You have to find a way to convince them. General Du, he is the commander."
Shi Diwei was very happy to see that Chu Xiong supported his plan. His idea was to skip the training. As long as he persuaded Chu and Du Guangting, his counterattack plan could be implemented. Now it was half successful.
"Chu, you are a very great general. You dare to fight and fight hard. You are not afraid of strong enemies. You are not like peanuts, who are short-sighted!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he had spilled the beans and quickly apologized. Chu Xiong's face looked better.
Although he doesn't like to see Zhongcai, he will not allow a foreign general to be disrespectful to Zhongcai in front of him. This is a matter of national face.
"General Stevie, what about the eagle equipment you promised us last time? I haven't even seen a bullet yet, and there's also military pay!
You can't just let the horse run without letting it eat grass, right? "
"Chu, I have already sent you the military pay this time. You just need to send someone to collect it. The three-month military pay for three divisions totals 1.5 million eagle yuan. Isn't that interesting?"
Chu Xiong's face suddenly burst into laughter, and he was much more pleased with the old man.
"General Shi, we deserve this, but your move has won the friendship of our Eighth Route Army. If the equipment issue is resolved, everything will be OK!"
"Chu, there will be bread and butter. I will figure out the equipment."
