Following the guidance officer, Liao Mingyu and Meng Fanle came to the left position. There were a lot of people in the conference room, but no one talked much, just waiting for the meeting to begin bored, and their entry became the focus of everyone's attention.

In addition to China, Americans and British are also mixed with them. Many of them are innocent. If you don’t know me, I have never seen you before, so there are fewer unnecessary greetings.

"What's wrong? I feel uncomfortable?" Liao Mingyu glanced at Meng Fan in a panic. In this atmosphere, this kid seemed a little unconfident.

Meng fucked his head and didn't say anything, trying to calm down his mood.

How can you not be nervous? There are all big men around you. The worst person who can come here is also a deputy division commander. This is the first time he has joined the ranks of the senior class of the National Government Army.

Looking around, although most people didn't know each other, Liao Mingyu still saw a few familiar figures in the crowd.

On the American side, Smith, the old enemy, was "wining" at him, and several US military officers next to him were also looking at him curiously, and the British representatives were also whispering in the corner, as if they were very interested in him.

Suddenly, Liao Mingyu felt a look from the side, turned his head to look at it, and it turned out to be Yu Xiaoqing and Yu's army seat. I saw this guy sitting straight, but his brows were frowning, as if he was enduring great pain.

All of the people here are veterans in the military. The long-term military career has inevitably caused many people to get into the bad habit of smoking. Most people, including Liao Mingyu, have cigarettes in their hands. The entire conference room is filled with smoke. Yu Xiaoqing, who doesn't like to smoke and drink, can only endure the bows of a few old cigarette guns. The taste is so sour.

However, as the only commander sent to Myanmar to fight in the western Yunnan Expeditionary Force, he has recently made a lot of excitement, commanding the Second Army and the 71st Army in Myitkyina, and has received a lot of rewards, which can be said to have reached the peak of his life.

Next to Yu Xiaoqing were also sitting Song Xilian and Huang Jie and other leadership teams of the 11th Army. Facing the old commander who had supported and helped him, Liao Mingyu also responded with a smile.

It can be seen that even if it is just a meeting, the troops will maintain their own small groups and do not sit together at all.

The western Yunnan Expeditionary Force was led by Wei Lihuang, Song Xilian and Huo Kuizhang, but the officers of the 20th Army and the 11th Army were clearly distinguished, and no one in the two groups of people was despised.

The Indian army was headed by Sun Liren, and there were commanders of the two armies including Liao Yaoxiang and Tang Shouzhi. The others were British and American teams, such as the British Independent Infantry Brigade, Mairel Detachment, the US Army Air Force 14th Air Force, etc.

The waiting did not last much time. After a while, the door of the conference room was opened again. Wei Lihuang and several US military officers walked in strode in.

"… Everyone is here. Then the Yunnan-Burma combat conference has officially begun. Now I would like to invite General Chen, the Minister of Military Affairs, to speak to everyone."

After saying that, Wei Lihuang stepped down to the vice-chair and sat down, it was obvious that he was not the protagonist of this meeting.

General Chen, Chen Cheng, and Chiang Kai-shek helped him to the throne in advance. Liao Mingyu was shocked. There were quite a few big shots coming this time.

It seems that Minister He in Chongqing has stepped down now, but according to historical trends, the old turtle boy was finally sent to Kunming to be responsible for the command and training of the various troops in the southwest. If that were the case, the situation might be even more unfavorable to him.

"Well... Dear colleagues, before the meeting begins, on behalf of the Head of State, I would like to congratulate you on your outstanding achievements in the counterattack of northern Myanmar some time ago. Defend the country and restore the mountains and rivers. You are the pride of the party and the country..."

Chen Cheng deserves to be the title of "Little Head of State". He speaks with official accents and is very evident, but some bureaucratic bugs like to listen to his tricks.

"Huo Kuizhang has made great contributions to commanding among his comrades in Tengchong, and specially awarded a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal... The 116th Division led by Zhao Zhenfan went three times and went out three times at the foot of Laifeng Mountain, attacking more than a thousand enemies. His courage is commendable and awarded..."

"Thanks to Minister Chen."

"Thank you for your kindness, we will serve the National Party and die!"

...

Everyone wears a high hat. The officer who was named and rewarded immediately stood up and stood attentively. While accepting the reward, he also made a promise in his mouth that hypocritical words were exposed on the surface.

Looking at the combat meeting that changed before it even started, Liao Mingyu shook his head and sneered. There were many generals sitting there, and I don’t know when the medals would be issued one by one.

This time, Chen Chengke brought a lot of commendation orders and medals, which were arranged by Chiang Kai-shek. Anyway, these things are not valuable and can win people's hearts. Why not do it? As long as you don't ask him for machine guns and cannons.

Wei Lihuang leaned his hands on the table, knocking on the table side by side. From the restless expression, he could see that he was helpless about such a scene.

Some generals also felt that this was a bit off the curve, but because of the identity of the chief, they did not dare to speak out.

“well… doggone    it!”

Stilwell next to him was so angry that he couldn't help but curse after hearing the translator explain the matter clearly.

The good combat meeting turned into this. Those who don’t know what it is, they thought it was a reward meeting for merit.

"Gentlemen! I'm here to discuss the next battle plan, not to see each of you performing with each other with false smiles."

Stilwell, who had always been talking nonsense, was not used to others, and directly angrily slammed, and the assistant translated the original words to everyone.

After hearing this, the generals were embarrassed, and only Liao Mingyu was gloating in the corner and almost laughed out loud.

"Haha...Mr. Stilwell, don't worry, this is all about our head of state. If you win a battle, you have to be rewarded, otherwise who will..."

“orge    on!”

Before Chen Cheng finished speaking, Stilwell interrupted without hesitation: "I don't understand what your head of state means, and I don't care if you want to reward subordinates, but this is the Southeast Asian Allied Operations Plan Conference Room. For God's sake, please understand the purpose of this!"

Well said! Liao Mingyu couldn't help but applaud him in his heart.

Chen Cheng touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed. Strictly speaking, he was indeed a little bit putting the cart before the horse, and the other party's identity was there, which was someone who even the head of state dared to criticize him. He could not completely offend him, so he had to give up after thinking about it:

"Okay, you've made sense. Let's put this matter aside first, so let General Stilwell say a few words first..."

Stilwell was not polite, and Chen Cheng, who had strode over the tactics to drink water, stood at the head of the long table and whispered loudly: "Gentlemen, first of all, please look at the battle report in your hands. Sun, let's talk about the situation of the enemy and me."

Finally got to the point. Sun Liren, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stood up and saluted, and told everyone:

"The situation is very clear at the moment. After the Battle of Myitkyina, the Japanese army had lost more than 90% of the land in northern Myanmar. Five of their divisions were severely damaged. The remaining enemies retreated here, here, and here..."

As Sun Liren said, he picked up the instructor's stick and pointed to the topographic map hanging on the wall.
