Zhou Weiguo naturally did not know that the Japanese had sent people to play tricks, not to mention that after the Washington Conference ended, the British did not dare to blatantly negotiate with the Japanese.
On 15 February, the Japanese captured Singapore.
"Bastard, damn the Japanese have played another trick" Churchill was furious, in the past few days of negotiations, the Japanese have been refusing to give in, so there has been no progress, and as a result, the Japanese have captured Singapore "Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Japanese will not stop" "Immediately tell the Burmese side to let the Chinese army enter Myanmar to assist in the defense" "Yes" At this moment, Churchill was the only one left in the office.
The dim light hit Churchill's face, and Churchill's decay and anger became more and more apparent.
No matter who it is, when this kind of thing happens, it will be annoyed and angry.
However, after this time, Churchill will no longer believe the rhetoric of the Japanese.
Zhou Weiguo sat in the headquarters of the expeditionary force, constantly helping to sort out the information, and, according to the orders of his superiors, formulating the so-called strategy.
In fact, he was not the only combat staff officer.
Coupled with his special identity, most of the time, Zhou Weiguo is just sorting out information.
The Japanese captured Singapore When Zhou Weiguo saw this telegram, he realized that it was already February 15, and sure enough, the British still delayed it again and again, which made Zhou Weiguo's trust in the British also reduced to the extreme.
Of course, he did not know that because of his appearance, the British did not want to drag it out, but they were dragged by the Japanese again.
At this point, it can be regarded as a butterfly instigating its little wings.
So, Zhou Weiguo picked up the telegram and walked to the main conference room, at this time, the high-level officials were in a meeting to discuss how to deploy defense.
"Report" Zhou Weiguo stood at the door and said loudly, "Emergency military situation." ” "Reading" "The Japanese attacked and occupied Singapore on 15 February."
The voice fell, and there was silence in the conference room.
No one's face is good-looking.
Because, everyone wants to defeat the Japanese.
Du Yuming raised his head and glanced at Zhou Weiguo, and once again what Zhou Weiguo had said came to mind, the British, can't believe it.
Originally, when they came back on the 10th, Britain should have opened the border to let them enter Myanmar and then go to Singapore to assist in defense, after all, the situation was urgent.
But as a result, there was no news.
By the time the news came again, Singapore had already been captured by the Japanese.
Du Yuming looked at Shang Zhen, "Director Shang, in the report, it must be added that the situation is urgent, and the border must be opened immediately, and at the same time, ensure the Yangon seaport, concentrate the main force on the Burma-Thailand border to build a position in advance to take a decisive defense, and focus on the Mawlamyine side, and the report should be sent out today."
Shang Zhen nodded.
Luo Zhuoying sighed, this time, even if the British have any ideas, they can only come according to their Chinese meaning.
Command of the Southern Army of the Japanese Army "Your Excellency, the Imperial Japanese Army has captured Singapore."
"How are the casualties in Yo Xi?"
"Compared to before, there is not much difference" "Yo Xi, do a good job and immediately repair the team and prepare to attack in the direction of Mawlamyine and Yangon" "Hi" Chongqing Lao Jiang also took the telegram and sighed, there are some things, it is a little late to do it now.
"Singapore has been beaten by the Japanese, you say, what are the British doing to let the Fifth Army go over to assist in the defense earlier, and there will be no such thing."
"What the principal said is, perhaps, the British are afraid that our stay in Burma will affect their interests, or perhaps, the British do not want to pay for the materials we are asking for."
Dai Li was helpless, and when he received the telegram, he was also confused.
The expeditionary force was established at the end of December of 41, and at the beginning of its establishment, the army was already on standby in Yunnan, and as long as the British opened the border, they could enter Burma at any time to support.
As a result, I waited until now.
"Now that I'm in Myanmar, Singapore can't get it back for the time being."
Lao Jiang sighed, "It is estimated that it would be good to be able to keep Yangon." ” "Headmaster, the British have already allowed us to enter Burma, and if we march urgently, we should still be able to keep Yangon."
"Hopefully."
Lao Jiang sighed, "The Japanese are probably the most cunning people in the world, and now that they have fought Singapore, they will definitely continue to attack the fortifications quickly to prevent our troops from entering Burma."
By the way, is there any news from the U.S."
"Yes, Headmaster.
General Joseph Stilwell will come to China to serve as Chief of Staff of the Allied Forces.
Dai Li replied, "I only received this news today." ” "Stilwell" Lao Jiang narrowed his eyes, "I should have been to China before."
"Yes, Headmaster.
General Stilwell had been to China four times before, the first of which was to Shanghai, Xiamen, Guangzhou, Wuzhou, Hong Kong and other places; In his second visit to China, he was officially inaugurated as a language officer stationed in China; came to China for the third time and served as the commander of the 15th Infantry Regiment of the U.S.
Army in Tianjin; On his fourth visit to China, he served as the U.S. military attache in Peking and was promoted to colonel.
At the same time, he had already been promoted to major general the year before last, because he would be the chief of staff of the coalition forces, and perhaps he would have to be promoted to lieutenant general.
Dai Li's information on Stilwell was clear.

Lao Jiang nodded, "Then we should still know something about our Republic of China, that's good." ” February 15, 1942 is the first day of the first lunar month of the Chinese lunar calendar.
And on this day, the command of the expeditionary force also began to get busy again.
"Commander, I request that Zhou Weiguo be transferred to my 5th Army" Du Yuming stood in front of Luo Zhuoying and spoke.
Luo Zhuoying nodded, "You talk to him yourself, and you can talk about it." ” "Thank you, Commander."
It was already dark, and Zhou Weiguo had finished today's work.
At this time, Zhou Weiguo knew how easy it was not to be the master of his own house.
After having dinner with Zhao Sheng, Zhou Weiguo read a book for a while and planned to rest.
Zhao Sheng is still keeping vigil outside.
"Master, General Du Yuming Du is looking for you" Zhao Sheng's voice came.
Zhou Weiguo stood up and opened the door of the room, "Commander Du, why are you here?"
"Haha, don't invite me in for a seat."
Du Yuming doesn't have any fights, he and Zhou Weiguo are both lieutenant generals, and the power in Zhou Weiguo's hands is much greater than his, although Zhou Weiguo seems to be just an operational staff officer here.
"Please."
Zhou Weiguo smiled, so he invited Du Yuming into the room.
After the two of them sat down, Du Yuming spoke, "Brother Weiguo, I really don't hide it, I came to you this time to invite you to my 5th Army." ” Zhou Weiguo frowned, "Go to the Fifth Army" "Not bad" Du Yuming nodded, "With your talent to defend the country, in the command headquarters, it will be suppressed after all, and you must have felt this." ” "Hmm."
Zhou Weiguo also nodded, but he felt that this kind of life was quite comfortable
