Chapter 1823 Hump Route
Study room on the second floor of Yunxiu Building, Chongqing.
Zhong Yi's voice was coming from the radio.
"The Chinese and American governments will do their best to raise enough transport aircraft, and it is expected that no less than 1,000 transport aircraft will be continuously imported into China through the hump route. Therefore, even if Myanmar is finally lost, it will never mean the end of the world. The Chinese expeditionary force will retreat into India and continue to fight the war, and the Chinese government will never surrender..."
"Okay, no need to listen anymore." Principal Chang waved his hand and Zhang Zhizhong quickly turned off the radio.
The senior officials who had been listening intently only breathed a sigh of relief, and their thoughts returned to reality.
President Chang's eyes first fell on Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui, and asked: "Liangchou, what's going on? Why have you never heard of Hump Route?"
Wang Chonghui said helplessly: "It is the first time I heard of Beizhi."
"What, you don't know?" President Chang said with a look of surprise, "The US government has never mentioned it to you?"
"No, never." Wang Chonghui said with an innocent look on his face. "I just heard from the radio that something happened. But to be honest, this idea is actually very good. If you can raise enough transport planes and open such a transportation line, you will no longer have to worry about the Japanese army cutting off the Yunnan-Burma Highway."
"Stop, this is not the point." Chen Shi couldn't help but interrupt Wang Chonghui, "Brother Liangchou, don't you think it's a bit abnormal for the US government to not communicate with the National Government in advance, but discussing the Hump Route with Zhong Yi first? In any case, Zhong Yi is just a commander-in-chief of the war zone. He is not the leader of the National Government yet."
Hearing Chen Shi's words, Principal Chang's face suddenly collapsed.
Chen Shi realized that he had just said something wrong. He changed his mind and said, "What qualifications does a commander of a war zone have to negotiate such a thing on behalf of the National Government with the United States?"
...
Mandalay, the head of the Myanmar War Zone.
After attending the press conference, Stilwell was also confused.
After coming down, Stilwell asked Zhong Yi: "Zhong, what happened just now?"
Zhong Yi asked back as he went forward: "What's going on? What's the matter?"
"Camel route?" Stilwell said, "When did the Chinese and American governments say they would prepare for the Hump route? Why don't I, the deputy commander-in-chief and minister of supplies for Myanmar theater? "
"You said this?" Zhong Yi laughed and said, "I made up it."
"You made up?" Stilwell's face turned dark and said angrily, "Zhong, can you communicate with me in advance before you make a fool of yourself next time? I really scared me just now. I thought that the US government was not satisfied with my work and was about to send a new deputy commander-in-chief to Myanmar to replace me."
"You are thinking too much, dear Lord Joseph." Zhong Yi held Stilwell's shoulder intimately and said, "You have a very good job in Myanmar, and our cooperation is very pleasant. I will never agree to change you."
"Oh, is that?" Stilwell spread his hands and said, "It is my honor to be recognized by General Zhong."
After pausing, Stilwell said again: "But the hump route you proposed seems to be good, too?"
"It's pretty good." Zhong Yi said with a smile, "However, it's no longer necessary, because Myanmar cannot be lost, and the Yunnan-Burma Highway cannot be cut off."
...
Chongqing Yunxiu Tower.
"Okay, okay, don't say these useless things." President Chang interrupted Chen Shi, "How is the Hump Route? Why doesn't the US government discuss with Chongqing? These things are not important. What is important is that Zhong Ziren held this press conference, which really means that Myanmar is about to be unable to be protected! Is the Yunnan-Burma Highway almost impossible to be protected?"
Speaking of this, Principal Chang paused the floor with a civilized stick and said, "This is the key point, the issue we are going to discuss today! Is this matter real? If it is true, what should we do next? What should the National Government do to continue to persist in the War of Resistance?"
The study immediately fell silent.
Seeing that everyone refused to speak, Principal Chang couldn't help but angrily: "Say, why don't you say it anymore? Aren't you all very good at talking just now? Why don't you say it again now?"
Chen Shi could only grit his teeth and said: "Principal, Myanmar's loss is probably a foregone conclusion. We had already expected this as early as the beginning of the Second Battle of Mandalay. To be honest, Zhong Yi can hold on for a month and hold on until today before holding such a press conference, which is already very good."
The sun hit the west, and Chen Shi praised Zhong Yi very rarely.
However, among the praise, I still feel lucky to gloat.
Principal Chang turned his eyes to Bai Chong's grief and asked, "What do you think, Jiansheng?"
Bai Chong sighed and said, "It is rare for Ziren to persist until now under such a difficult premise! Therefore, the loss of Myanmar is inevitable."
President Chang sighed and said, "Is Myanmar still going to be lost after all?"
...
Almost the same time.
In the Imperial Study Room of Tokyo Imperial Palace, Hirohito, Hideki Tojo and Secretary of the Army Shunroku Hata also sat together to listen to the radio, and the radio was broadcasted with Zhong Yi's press conference.
Since the broadcast is recorded, there will be a time difference.
After listening to the radio, Hirohito couldn't help but say: "Tojo-kun, Hata-kun, did you hear it? Zhong Yi is already preparing for the situation after Myanmar falls, and the Chinese government is also planning ahead for the dilemma after the Yunnan-Burma Highway was cut off. This means that the Myanmar condemnation army will soon win the Battle of Myanmar, haha!"
Hideki Tojo couldn't help but agree, "Your Majesty clearly understands it, this is indeed a happy thing, but then again, isn't it long before His Majesty's expectation that the Burmese condemnation army could achieve such a result?"
"Yes, I've guessed that this would be the result." Hirohito nodded, then shook his head again, "However, I never guessed that the Battle of Myanmar would be delayed to this day and would win so hard! Fortunately, this battle was finally won. Now it's time to consider forcibly landing in the Chinese government and end the China incident!"
He paused and said, "But is this hump route real?"
