Washington "I propose that the Asia-Pacific theater be divided into four theaters.
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
Chongqing "Commission, President Roosevelt's telegram."
Lao Jiang squinted his eyes, he had given full authority to Song Ziwen to participate in the Washington meeting, and Japan's actions in Southeast Asia made it impossible for Britain and the United States to ignore Japan, and they could no longer ignore China, which had been entangled with Japan for a long time.
At least, this time the joint meeting made China no longer just a country in name.
After receiving the telegram, Lao Chiang smiled, Roosevelt suggested that Lao Chiang organize the establishment of an allied China theater, and of course Lao Chiang would not refuse this suggestion.
"Call back, agreed."
"Yes."
On January 1, 1942, at the signing ceremony of the 26-nation joint declaration in Washington, Roosevelt publicly announced the decision to "establish a Chinese theater of operations."
On the afternoon of 3 January, the White House announced that, on the proposal of the Chiefs of Staff of Britain and the United States, and with the advice of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill, and with the consent of the Dutch Government and the relevant autonomous governments, General Chiang Kai-shek had accepted the post of supreme commander of the Chinese Theater of Operations, commanding the army and air forces operating in the region, including Vietnam, Thailand, and areas under the control of the Allies in the future.
The design part of the High Command will be attended by representatives of Britain and the United States.
Lao Chiang has been in a good mood recently, and China's national status has improved under such circumstances, "After becoming the supreme commander of the Chinese theater, Vietnam and Thailand have also been included in this zone.
The country's reputation and status have been enhanced like never before. “ "What the commission said is, in the past, those British and Americans, who would look at us" "That's it, now it's okay, the Japanese have hit them, and they know that they have begged us."
On December 7, the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor, and the United States was drawn into World War II.
On 8 December, Japanese troops entered the Shanghai Public Concession, and on the same day, the Imperial Japanese Army began to attack the Malay Peninsula from Thailand and the Imperial Japanese Army began to attack Hong Kong from Shenzhen.
Pearl Harbor, Thailand, the Malay Peninsula and Hong Kong were all British and American colonies.
As a result, these so-called military powers, big countries, have been beaten by small Japan, how can they have a little spirit" "So they are now taking us into account, after all, when it comes to combat experience with Japan, let's say second, no one dares to say first.
What's more, these places are far away from Britain and the United States, but closer to us.
It is more convenient and faster for us to send troops than for them. ” Everyone discussed enthusiastically, and Lao Jiang did not refuse.
When the China Theater was founded, he was the supreme commander of the China Theater, which was an affirmation for both the country and himself.
What's more, with the formation of various major theaters, Japan will fight on multiple fronts.
Britain and the United States will also join.
This is also a great benefit to China, at least, the resistance against Japan is no longer their responsibility as a country.
China needs allies too much.
But at this time, there are so many allies, which is a good thing for the Chinese people.
"In this way, the anti-Japanese resistance is finally not only China's anti-Japanese resistance" Liu Yuan put down the newspaper, his heart was surging, and in addition, the Chinese theater also included Vietnam and Thailand, and China's status was finally improved.
Zhou Weiguo smiled slightly, these are just excuses and gimmicks for the allies to let China send troops and contribute, but after all, the allies were established, and the anti-Fa-West has also become the main theme of all countries in the world, of course, except for Germany, Italy, Japan, etc.
However, it is fortunate that this day has come.
"It's good."
"It's good" Liu Yuan's eyes widened, this should obviously be a big joy, isn't it "It's just good."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, even at this time, all kinds of public opinion began to boast and praise China's contribution to the Pacific Theater, but decades later, European and American countries will still not look at your part squarely, and will still subconsciously ignore China's great contribution to the Pacific War and the great efforts it has made.
In fact, Japan has been calling the Sino-Japanese War an incident as a Chinese incident since the July 7 Incident.
Liu Yuan really didn't understand what Zhou Weiguo meant, because he hadn't experienced all kinds of things in the future.
"Well, in another month or two at most, I'm afraid you're going to report to the expeditionary force" Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Of course, I won't go alone." ” "Special Combat Team" Liu Yuan questioned.
"Hmm."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, of course he didn't plan to go alone, the members of the special combat team, he planned to summon half of them back, and then select half of the new team members, sneak in secretly, get information, and so on.
"Brother, you will send a report to each team in a while, and ask them to return to Jinan before the 10th to take over the task."
"Got it."
Liu Yuan nodded, now it's only January 4th, and the teams are coming back, and it's too late.
He didn't know Zhou Weiguo's plan very well, but if Zhou Weiguo said it, he would do it.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, and then looked at the map, the Chinese Expeditionary Force was an important and special part of China's War of Resistance Against Japan.
But for a long time, due to some political reasons, this period of history has been obscured, submerged and even forgotten for a long time.
In that land, China shed blood for the allies.
Soldiers of all sizes, from generals to soldiers, have sacrificed their lives.

For example, Dai Anlan, for example, Qi Xueqi. 100,000 youth, 100,000 troops.
Once the strong man is gone, he will not return.
It is a true portrayal of the expeditionary force.
This group of people is heroes.
But Zhou Weiguo doesn't want this group of people to be heroes, because the word hero often carries blood, if they have not been injured or bloodshed, who will call them heroes Behind the word hero, in this era, even the life is paid.
In addition to enemy artillery fire, the threat of the rainforest, and the uncertainty of command among the expeditionary forces have repeatedly put hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the back foot.
In the end, their young lives were left behind.
What Zhou Weiguo has to do is just not to leave himself with regrets.
Because, the expeditionary force is a pity.
Zhou Weiguo didn't want the soldiers who originally belonged to China to shed blood and tears abroad, but they still had to bury their bones in a foreign land, or even be forgotten.
It's not fair to them.
Picking up the pen, he circled the map, and there, it was Yangon.
Yangon is a floating city surrounded by water on three sides, the Bago River to the east, the Yangon River to the south, the Irrawaddy River to the west, the Lai River, one of the Han Rivers flowing into the sea, and the Andaman Sea 34 kilometers to the south.
The intersection of inland rivers and maritime transport has made Yangon the main hub of land and sea transportation in and out of Myanmar.
After disembarking from the Yangon wharf, the arms were transported by rail to Lashio, then to Yunnan in China via Wan Town, and finally to Kunming, a special transportation route in China during the war.
Therefore, after the inspection, the generals of the national army decided that they should be heavily protected.
The British, however, were slow to allow the expeditionary force to enter Burma.
By the time the expeditionary force arrived, Rangoon had fallen in flames.
But what if Yangon hadn't fallen so quickly:
