Chapter 277 Edward
The transport captain pushed open the door and took Wang Meng to the restaurant.
Wang Meng and Wei Lihuang stood on the left and right, looking at the old hen stewed with bamboo shoots and a plate of stir-fried pork with snow mustard greens on the table, and shook their heads.
Three people only have one dish and one soup?
The secretary served a bowl of chicken soup and a few bamboo shoots and placed them in front of the transport captain.
He took a few bites and then wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.
"The country is in trouble now, we should save what we can. It's good enough to have one dish and one soup for a meal. Think about whether our soldiers and civilians can live like this? There is a long way to go! Especially in Henan Province!"
Wei Lihuang put his hands on his knees and sweat broke out: Are they going to mention the great famine in Henan Province again?
"Sir, I will lead the expeditionary force to open up the transportation line so that international aid can be delivered smoothly!"
"Well, Junru, I came to talk to them in person this time, and the effect was quite good! You must quickly march into Burma and fight a few good battles to show them that our China is not just about skills and supplies!"
Wei Lihuang stood up with a "kua" and expressed his position immediately.
"Yes! I will do my best to fulfill my responsibilities!"
The transport captain continued to drink a few sips of chicken soup.
"Wang Meng, if possible, I hope your air force can support us in this attack on Burma. After all, the M Air Force is not our own force, and sometimes it is not smooth to command!"
"Sir, the independent column's air force is still developing, but since we are fighting the Japanese, we must contribute. When I return to southern Shanxi, I will immediately discuss with Commander Li and come up with a plan!"
"Well, I trust you!"
The meal took a full two hours. Wang Meng only ate three slices of bamboo shoots and two chopsticks of snow mustard greens. He was so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back.
Wang Meng was escorted out of the gate by the transport captain and Wei Lihuang, and then quickly rushed back to the airport with his guard squad, and ate three bowls of cross-bridge rice noodles outside the airport.
"Commander, didn't I treat you to a meal? Why are you still so hungry?"
"Fuck it, why are you pretending to be honest? The money he earned can buy thousands of chicken meals!"
The guard looked at Wang Meng and seemed to be talking nonsense, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only ask for another bowl of rice noodles.
Wang Meng wiped the red oil off his mouth, and the depression in his heart disappeared.
"withdraw!"
Soon, a C-54, escorted by two F6Fs, took off and headed north.
It was not until nightfall that Wang Meng's plane landed at Pingshun Military Airport.
"Where is the M Country Technical Advisory Group?"
"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, we have followed your order and all of us have checked into the Pingshun Hotel!"
"Let's go and have a look!"
Wang Meng and his guard platoon got on a jeep and drove quickly to Pingshun Hotel.
Looking at the tight security around the hotel, Wang Meng nodded with satisfaction.
"Chief of Staff, you are here?"
"Well, thank you for your hard work! Is there anything special?"
"Everything is normal, but this expert from Country M is not satisfied with our arrangement. He said we are locking them up like prisoners of war!"
Wang Meng chuckled, this was all expected. After all, they came from a place that prided themselves on "freedom".
"but……"
"But what happened?"
"But there was an expert from Country M who was very cooperative and helped calm everyone down. He was even a little too enthusiastic!"
"name!"
"Edward."
Wang Meng quickly took out the file and started searching through it, finally stopping at the file numbered "22".
"Sure enough!"
It was already late, so Wang Meng did not gather these experts from Country M. Instead, he left the guard platoon behind to strengthen the defense again, making sure that not even a mosquito could get in or out.
After returning to the military fortress, Wang Meng reported the transport captain's intentions to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
"Old Li, I don't think we can completely reject this offer. After all, our biggest enemy right now is the Japanese."
Zhao Gang was the first to express his opinion. As the most stable ballast of the independent column, he considered the issue more comprehensively.
"Old Zhao, you're right. It's not time to fall out yet. If we fall out now, the people might think we're the ones who destroyed the cooperation, which is bad for us!"
Li Yunlong nodded. The current situation is very delicate and has probably formed a three-way confrontation stage.
"What you two said makes sense. How about this, we will cooperate with Chongqing at a distance and try not to cause friction, but we must put our own interests first!"
Li Yunlong then handed over the strategic arrangements for the situation in Myanmar to Wang Meng.
Because this was the first cooperation with Chongqing, and it also involved the British Army and the M Army in Burma. And Wang Meng had been in contact with the M country, so this task fell on Wang Meng.
"Commander, the expeditionary forces are also our Chinese heroes. If possible, I would like to provide my full support! If we can drive the Japanese into the sea, we may get more practical benefits!"
Li Yunlong's knowledge is not that rich, and he has no idea about the situation in Myanmar. He only knows that it is a small country in the south of China.
The benefits Wang Meng mentioned are Myanmar’s mineral resources, especially gold mines!
Of course, what is more important is to establish an estuary. After taking over Myanmar, China can restart the Yunnan-Burma Highway and a large amount of supplies can be transported to China!
If the independent column could control the Burma Road, it would be equivalent to controlling China's blood transfusion pipeline.
"That's right! Mengzi, I'll leave this matter to you, but Myanmar is so far away from us, we can't force it, let's take it one step at a time!"
Great minds think alike, and Wang Meng thought so too.
According to his original plan, he wanted to send the aviation division or the Flying Tigers to assist the Expeditionary Force and launch air strikes against the Japanese.
However, if we really want to control Myanmar and the Burma Road, we cannot rely on the air force alone. We must send ground troops to occupy important positions.
In short, this matter requires long-term consideration.
"By the way, Lao Li, our Country M technical advisory team has arrived. I took a look at their information and they are all at the engineer level. They should be able to help us build the factory."
Zhao Gang became interested as soon as he heard it and took a stack of information, but unfortunately he didn't recognize the letters.
"Mengzi, help me translate this later, so I can assign them to which factory and tell them how to carry out their work!"
"Okay, then I'll arrange for someone to translate for you tonight. And Lao Zhao, these people still need to be screened. Before they are completely reliable, they cannot be allowed to have access to our core secrets and core factories, especially the penicillin factory!"
Zhao Gang nodded. Their biggest source of income was the penicillin factory. If it was really stolen by them, they would have no place to cry.
"Especially this guy!"
Wang Meng took out a piece of paper and clicked on it.
