Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

Chapter 515: Provocation

515 Provocation

"General Stilwell, I'm sorry.

Our expeditionary force cannot carry out your battle plan.

It's just that your battle plan is too old-fashioned and has nothing new to offer.

According to this combat plan, continuing to fight with the Japanese 15th Army will only repeat previous mistakes.

So, I refuse. "

Ye Qingshan said very directly.

According to Ye Qingshan's plan, he would use provocation to stimulate Stilwell today, and then join forces with Luo Zhuoying to fool him.

Let them trick him and be willing to hand over command.

"Walter?"

Stilwell was completely stunned.

He also didn't expect that Ye Qingshan dared to speak like this.

This is no longer a mockery, but a humiliation.

"Hey!"

Luo Zhuoying sighed helplessly: My Commander, why do you have to be so direct and continue to provoke Stilwell?

If you do this, it will be difficult for me, the one who has to play the bad guy, to do my job.

“I am the commander of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia, and you dare to disobey my orders.

I...I...will report you to your command and have you removed."

Stilwell was really angry and stood up and yelled at Ye Qingshan.

"up to you."

Ye Qingshan said lightly.

"Do you still want our help?"

Seeing that threats did not affect Ye Qingshan, Stilwell prepared to use his trump card.

He believed that their assistance at this time was one of the greatest reliances of the national government.

This trick was the most useful in the past.

Before, both the Americans and the British could have a say in the affairs of the expeditionary force and relied on aid.

If you don't obey, your aid will be cut off.

At this moment, Stilwell used this trick again, which also made Du Yuming, Luo Zhuoying and others next to him worried.

"Cut off aid? I don't believe it.

You may use this little trick to fool others.

It doesn't work for me.

I know your aid policy better than you do.

This kind of thing is not for you to decide."

Ye Qingshan smiled and didn't care about Stilwell's threat at all.

"you……"

Only at this moment did Stilwell remember Ye Qingshan's other identity: he was the son-in-law of their country's top financial group.

Ye Qingshan really has a way of knowing inside information that others don’t know.

"Well, even if you're right.

I still have the right to decide how to distribute the delivered materials."

What Stilwell meant was that I could reduce our aid to you, and he did have the final say on that.

The tension between the two sides is getting stronger and stronger.

If this continues, neither side will be able to save face.

Ye Qingshan glanced at Luo Zhuoying opposite him, and Luo Zhuoying realized that it was his turn to play the good guy.

"Hehe, General Stilwell, calm down.

Our commander is too young.

If you are not aggressive, you are still a young person.

When we were young, we were full of energy and vitality.

Actually, our commander still admires you very much and always says that you take the overall situation into consideration..."

Luo Zhuoying just flattered Stilwell.

It really works.

No matter how many holes there are, flattery never wears out. Americans also like to be flattered. It's human nature.

"General Stilwell, I am with you.

As for Ye Qingshan, I've long been fed up with him.

He is so young, yet he looks down on others. Don't bother with him."

Luo Zhuoying also took the opportunity to whisper to Stilwell.

"Chief of Staff Luo, you are more suitable to be the commander of the expeditionary force.

I really don't understand why those idiots in your command replaced you."

Stilwell was speaking from the heart; he really felt comfortable dealing with Luo Zhuoying.

Luo Zhuoying is a humble person with an elegant temperament, completely different from Ye Qingshan's aggressive personality.

Luo Zhuoying didn't dare to do what Ye Qingshan did, directly rejecting his orders and even openly mocking and humiliating him.

"Humph! I won't argue with young people."

Stilwell's expression eased a lot and he sat down immediately.

Seeing this, Luo Zhuoying also breathed a sigh of relief. At least Ye Qingshan and Stilwell did not fall out on the spot.

The plan can continue.

"Commander Ye, since you said my battle plan is old-fashioned.

So tell me, what do you think? "

Stilwell looked at Ye Qingshan and said.

Ye Qingshan is waiting for you to ask.

He immediately came out and asked Xiao Wusheng to change to a new battle diagram, and then told him his battle plan to encircle the Japanese 15th Army.

“Walter?

Commander Ye, are you crazy?

Do you want to wipe out the Japanese 15th Army in one go?

I think you are not young, you are a lunatic.

Do you know how many people there are in the Japanese 15th Army and how strong its combat effectiveness is?

Your plan, uh...

The idea of ​​the plan is indeed good and bold.

However, there is no feasibility at all.

They had to carry out a long-distance raid of several hundred kilometers behind the Japanese army's rear before the Japanese army could react.

Your expeditionary force does not have enough armored units and is simply not capable of completing the task.

The troops you send to infiltrate will only be consumed by the enemy in the vast jungle.

You said my plan was old-fashioned and your battle plan was shit."

Stilwell stood up and started to scold Ye Qingshan.

Ye Qingshan's battle plan was criticized as worthless.

Ye Qingshan just sneered faintly, did not refute, and listened quietly to Stilwell's criticism.

Stilwell sprayed for several minutes before finally stopping.

"General Stilwell, are you done?

How about we make a bet?"

Ye Qingshan looked at Stilwell with a provocative look and said.

"What bet?"

Hooked!

“If my troops can complete this penetration behind enemy lines and capture Toungoo.

Complete the encirclement of the Japanese 15th Army.

Then, please authorize me to take full command of our expeditionary force's war to annihilate the Japanese this time.

If my troops didn't do it.

Then, I will take the initiative to resign as the commander of the expeditionary force and replace him with a general you like.

how about it?

Do you dare to bet?"

Ye Qingshan made a bet.

"This……"

Stilwell hesitated after hearing this.

At this time, Luo Zhuoying approached Stilwell again and whispered, "General Stilwell, agree to it.

This is a bet, whether you win or lose.

There is nothing to lose.”

"How to say?"

Luo Zhuoying continued, "Think about it, if you win the bet, Ye Qingshan will resign, and the command of the expeditionary force will naturally belong to you.

Even if you lose the bet, you will give the command to Ye Qingshan.

Then, if Ye Qingshan can really annihilate the Japanese 15th Army, it will also show that you have the ability to identify people and use them well.

If Ye Qingshan loses, all the blame for the defeat will be put on him.

It won’t affect you.”

After hearing this, Stilwell's eyes lit up, as if there was some truth to it.

Moreover, Stilwell concluded that it would be impossible for Ye Qingshan to take Toungoo.

The expeditionary force was not that strong, and the Japs were not that slow.

"OK, I accept this bet."

Stilwell looked at Ye Qingshan and said cheerfully.

Get it!

Ye Qingshan and Luo Zhuoying looked at each other.

Now, Ye Qingshan is waiting for Zhao Dongsheng's mobile regiment to send news about the capture of Toungoo.

Calculating the time, the vanguard armored battalion of Zhao Dongsheng's mobile regiment should have reached Toungoo overnight.

But the good news hasn't come yet, which only means the battle is not over yet.

But Ye Qingshan has confidence in the mobile regiment.
