    Due to too many differences, it was difficult to choose the commander-in-chief of the fifth theater.

    What¡¯s more funny is that Feng Yuxiang also volunteered himself this time and expressed his willingness to share important responsibilities for the party and the state. Naturally, he was rejected by Principal Chang.

    Principal Chang¡¯s reason is that the central government cannot do without you, Brother Huanzhang.

    Although the candidate for the commander-in-chief of the fifth theater has not yet been decided, and there is no clear statement on which troops will be dispatched to the Myanmar theater, Principal Chang still reports intelligence to the US government as soon as possible.

    When we received the notification from the National Government, it was already past 10 a.m. Eastern Time in the United States.

    By this time, Roosevelt was already talking to Stilwell in the Oval Office.

    The content of the conversation was mainly about consulting about the situation in Asia, especially China.

    Halfway through the conversation, Army Chief of Staff Marshall walked in with an embarrassed look on his face, holding a telegram in his hand.

    Seeing Marshall's embarrassed expression, Roosevelt said: "What's wrong, General Marshall? Is there any bad news? Could it be that Moscow has fallen?"

    ¡°If Moscow has fallen, it will indeed be bad news for the United States and the world¡¯s anti-Japanese alliance.

    Marshall shook his head and said: "Moscow did not fall, but a notification was sent from the National Government."

    "Oh, really? The National Government has already agreed to our suggestions? The efficiency is quite fast." Roosevelt didn't know the specific content yet, but thinking about it with his toes, he knew that the National Government could not reject their suggestions.

    "Your Excellency, the National Government did agree to our suggestion, but" Marshall paused and continued, "The candidate they appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Burma Theater was not Zhong Yi, but a man named Li Guangxi.  The general is said to be a veteran, but we have never heard of him."

    "Not Zhong Yi? Called Li Guangxi?" Roosevelt turned around and looked at Stilwell in surprise.

    Stilwell was also dumbfounded, with a look of disbelief on his face. How could he not be Zhong Yi?

    When the U.S. government made recommendations to the Nationalist Government, it did not directly propose a candidate for the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar theater. First, it wanted to avoid the suspicion of long-arm jurisdiction. Second, it felt that there could not be any other candidate besides Zhong Yi because in  Among the many senior generals in the national army, Zhong Yi's ability can be said to be unique!

    But now the news has come that the candidate for commander-in-chief proposed by the Nationalist Government is not Zhong Yi, but a senior general named Li Guangxi. What is going on?

    "General Stilwell," Roosevelt said, "What's going on?"

    "Yes, General Stilwell, what is going on?" Marshall also had the same question, "Are you not saying that among the many senior generals of the National Government, Zhong Yi is unique in both ability and vision?  In view of the importance of the Myanmar Theater to the entire Southeast Asian battlefield, will the Nationalist Government definitely appoint him as the Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Theater? But now, why did he suddenly become a person named Li Guangxi? Who is this person?  "

    "I know Li Guangxi." Stilwell said, "This is the leader of the Guangxi warlords in China. He has a certain prestige, is also very sophisticated in political skills, and has above-average military command capabilities. In the past ten years or so,  , he has always been Chang Kaishen¡¯s most powerful political opponent.¡±

    Marshall said impatiently: "How about compared to Zhong Yi?"

    "It can't be compared." Stilwell shook his head and said, "It's not on the same level at all. In terms of performance alone, Li Guangxi only commanded the Battle of Xuzhou, annihilating only more than 10,000 Japanese troops, and he won first and then lost.  However, Zhong Yi commanded five large-scale battles and won all five battles! A total of nearly 400,000 Japanese troops were annihilated!"

    "If that's the case, I don't understand." Roosevelt frowned and said, "Since General Zhong Yi's record is far better than that of General Li Guangxi, and he is still unemployed teaching at the Army University, why doesn't the National Government allow him to serve in Burma?  The commander-in-chief of a war zone? Instead of transferring Li Guangxi from another war zone?"

    "Yeah, this is really a puzzling thing." Marshall was equally confused.

    Because the United States was founded for a short period of time and has little foundation, it acts in a direct and domineering style, so it is somewhat unclear about Principal Chang's political skills.

    Americans have a unique style when it comes to conspiracy and tactics.

    For example, when it comes to tarnishing the reputation of their opponents, they will not play any too profound tricks. They will just pour the dirty water of sexual assault on their opponents, and they will basically do it right. If it is a matter of country and country.?'s conspiracy would be even more straightforward and shameless. If you take a tube of washing powder, you dare to say that it is a tube of chemical weapons.

    ¡°In comparison, the Chinese¡¯s methods are much more subtle.

    So neither Roosevelt nor Marshall could understand Principal Chang¡¯s approach.

    After all, Stilwell had been a military attache in China for several years and knew something about it.

    At that moment, Stilwell explained patiently: "Your Excellency, this is Chang Kaishen's method of attacking potential opponents."

    "Means to attack potential opponents?" Roosevelt frowned, "Does he think Zhong Yi has threatened his political status as the supreme leader of the National Government?"

    "Yes." Stilwell said, "Chang Kaishen relied on military power to ascend to the center of power of the National Government, so he is more sensitive to military power, and Zhong Yi has shown extraordinary military talents, so he has to  I am worried that if Zhong Yi is given too much military power, it will one day threaten his status in the National Government."

    "Absurd!" Marshall said with a frown, "It's now, and China is about to be destroyed. What is this guy thinking about is fighting for power? Has his head been kicked by a donkey?"

    Roosevelt also said impatiently: "I don't care what he thinks or what China will do in the future, but the victory or defeat in the Southeast Asian battlefield will directly determine the victory or defeat in the entire Asian battlefield. For the national interests and security of the United States, the Chinese government  The most capable senior general must be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar theater!"

    "That's right." Marshall agreed, "Since the National Government and Chang Kaishen are so unreliable, there is no need to save face for them and directly appoint a candidate. The commander of the Myanmar theater can only and must be Zhong Yi  , if not, the US government will not provide them with a penny of aid, let them think carefully!"

    Stilwell was a little worried: "But, will this exceed his authority?"

    "This is life! This is reality!" Marshall said solemnly, "Chang Kaishen must accept reality!"

    "That's right, just reply to the National Government." Roosevelt also said, "After all, we will not have more energy to take care of the Asian battlefield for a long time, so we must choose an effective general to take charge of the Southeast Asian battlefield."

    Speaking of this, Roosevelt went on to say: "And to be honest, I am not very confident about this Zhong Yi. General Stilwell, I have decided to appoint you to the Burma battlefield as the chief of staff of the Burma theater! In terms of command,  We can leave the matter to Zhong Yi, but we must not let him mess around with the logistics!"

    "Okay." Stilwell nodded solemnly, as it should be.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
