Alexander finally gave in.
The situation is stronger than the people, and Alexander has no choice but to give in.
In fact, according to Alexander¡¯s temper, he really wanted to start a fight with the Chinese army, but the problem is that it is impossible to fight now.
First of all, the ammunition of the British and Burmese troops was gone.
More importantly, three divisions, one brigade and an armored brigade of the British-Burmese army were surrounded.
If a fight really starts, the 40,000 British and Burmese troops will be divided and annihilated by the Chinese army in minutes!
By that time, Alexander and his British-Burmese troops would have no choice but to return to India as prisoners of war. If it really came to this, Zhong Yi and Stilwell would certainly have nothing to gain, but Alexander was afraid His reputation will be ruined and he will never be able to raise his head in front of others.
But if you give in, things will turn into him taking the initiative to cooperate.
The British-Burmese Army took the initiative to hand over weapons and ammunition, which became a cooperative action full of cooperation. The withdrawal from Burma was also to aid Africa. The British-Burmese Army and its reputation were saved.
After the two sides reached a consensus, Zhong Yi immediately lifted the martial law in the headquarters.
Alexander didn't want to stay in Yangon for a moment longer. After Stilwell and Zhong Yi jointly called the Allied General Headquarters to explain that the incident in Burma was just a misunderstanding, Alexander immediately took all the personnel from the British-Burmese Army Headquarters with him. Leaving Yangon, he went to Meng Gong to join 40,000 officers and soldiers of the British and Burmese troops.
Zhong Yi and Stilwell rushed to the train station in person to see them off.
Watching the train carrying Alexander and his party disappear into the distance, Stilwell suddenly laughed.
"Zi Ren, I really didn't expect it." Stilwell said, "This incident could be solved in such a way. Alexander actually lowered his head and admitted his defeat."
"There's nothing strange about this." Zhong Yi smiled and said, "This is all obvious."
Stilwell shook his head and said, "But I'm really worried that things will get out of hand in the end."
"It won't get out of hand." Zhong Yi said suddenly, "People like Alexander are typical paper tigers. They shout fiercely, but in fact they are fierce and stubborn. They cherish their reputation more than anyone else. As long as you grab his vitals and threaten his reputation, he will have no choice but to give in."
While the two were talking, a train from Bangkok slowly stopped at the station.
The train doors opened, and then a crowd of people poured out of the train like a surging tide.
Most of the people who got off the train were tired from work, and most of them were old people and children.
From the language they used to talk to each other, Zhong Yi could tell at once that these were basically overseas Chinese.
With the Japanese army's comprehensive invasion of the entire Southeast Asia, and with the issuance of the initiative of the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Association, the exodus of overseas Chinese from Nanyang to Myanmar has finally begun.
This is just the beginning.
In the next few months, more overseas Chinese will arrive from the Malay Peninsula, Indochina, Java, Borneo and even the Philippines, taking various means of transportation.
The refugee resettlement work in Myanmar must be stepped up.
Stilwell also noticed these refugees and said in a deep voice: "Are these overseas Chinese who escaped from Thailand?"
"Yes, there are overseas Chinese from Thailand," Zhong Yi said, "and then there will be overseas Chinese who have fled from the Malay Peninsula, Indochina, Java and even the Philippines."
Stilwell said: "If this is the case, the number of people will probably not be small."
"Definitely." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "At least tens of millions."
"Tens of millions?" Stilwell was startled and whispered, "It is not easy to resettle so many refugees."
"Yes, it is indeed not easy to resettle so many refugees." Zhong Yi said quietly, "Just solving the problem of feeding so many refugees is a big problem."
Stilwell said: "Zhong, don't worry, I will try my best to help your compatriots who are suffering."
Zhong Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Now the pressure on your US government is also great. It not only has to take care of the Asian battlefield, but also assumes the leading position in the European Western Front battlefield. The consumption of materials is huge, and I'm afraid it won't be able to get it. How much supplies should be provided to relieve the Chinese Huaqiao in Nanyang?"
Stilwell was silent when he heard this.
Because what Zhong Yi said is true.
Out of humanitarianism, the U.S. government can provide some supplies to help overseas Chinese in Nanyang.
But these supplies will definitely not be much, at least not enough.Tens of millions of refugees live.
Thinking of this, Stilwell couldn't help but feel a little sad. In essence, he still sympathized with these homeless refugees.
At this time, Zhong Yi suddenly said: "General Stilwell, Hegel's dialectics tells us that everything has two sides. The Chinese refugees pouring into Myanmar are certainly a burden, but they may also be a great help! If we can Utilize it, this is a huge human resource!¡±
"Human resources?" Stilwell's heart moved when he heard this, and said, "Zhong, you mean"
"That's what you think." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "You should have foreseen that the world anti-Japanese war is a protracted war that will not end in at least two or three years!"
"Within two or three years, not only the European battlefield, but also the Asian battlefield will need the United States to send military supplies!"
"I don't know if the United States can afford such a huge material demand with its industrial strength, but even if the U.S. industrial manufacturing base can bear it, your material transportation capabilities may not be able to bear it, right?"
¡°Due to the blockade of the Pacific Ocean, supplies sent from the United States must first pass through the Atlantic Ocean, then pass through the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa, enter the Indian Ocean, and then take the land route from India to Myanmar. Such a long transportation of supplies is not only time-consuming, but also prone to damage. Attack! Especially vulnerable to Japanese naval attack!"
"With a conservative attack, if ten tons of military supplies are sent from the United States, it would be good if three to four tons can be transported to Myanmar. If the Japanese navy blocks it at all costs, it may not be even one ton!"
"Actually, the loss of materials is secondary. The key is the loss of transport ships and warships."
¡°Even with the strong industrial manufacturing base of the United States, we may not be able to withstand such material losses and ship losses over time.¡±
Hearing this, Stilwell fell into a long silence.
Stilwell has also thought about the issue Zhong Yi mentioned.
But after much deliberation, I couldn¡¯t come up with any good solution.
Basically, the problem Zhong Yi mentioned cannot be solved.
After a long while, Stilwell said helplessly: "But what can we do? No matter how difficult it is, this anti-Japanese war must continue to be fought. We can't surrender directly, can we?"
