Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

"There must be something fishy going on here. Tell me what's wrong!"

Xu Le had some good and some bad experiences in his past life. When facing many things, he would be influenced by preconceived notions and think that some things should have developed in that way.

Wei Li walked to the corner, picked up the broom and slowly swept the treaty fragments together.

"Let's not talk about what's hidden here, or what considerations England has. But judging from the current situation, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land around Imphal are occupied by Japan, overlooking the central region of India. If the Japanese want to use this as a springboard to attack, India will be in great danger!"

Xu Le pursed his lips, shook his head and explained: "But Indo has been occupied by us, blocking the logistical supply of more than 10 Japanese soldiers in Imphal. What can the Japanese use to fight?"

At this time, Fang Yue came back alone. As soon as he stepped through the gate, he said, "If the Japanese hadn't taken Imphal, theoretically, we would have cut off their retreat! But the Japanese have completely occupied Imphal, and we can get all kinds of supplies by plundering the local area! In this regard, you can refer to what the Japanese did in our occupied areas of Datang!"

"Yes, the same is true for our Xu Army. Even without plundering, we can obtain enough military supplies just by trading with the local people in the Mandalay area! As long as the Japs make a little effort, there is no shortage of food and supplies!"

Wei Li put down the broom and continued to explain: "Moreover, Indo is only the only way from Mandalay to India, not the only way from Myanmar to India! In the southwest of Myanmar, the Japanese can also enter Imphal from the Monnewa and Gariwa roads, but the transportation volume is far less than that of Indo!"

Wei Li and Fang Yue seemed to be singing a duet. After Wei Li finished speaking, Fang Yue immediately followed up with another sentence: "And the most important point is that the English Navy has long been hiding in the African waters. Originally, the main force of the Japanese was in the Pacific, but the victory of the Battle of Midway allowed them to dispatch the fleet to the Indian Ocean in the future!

Even if the Imphal devils completely lose their land transportation lines, their transport ships can still deliver supplies by water under the protection of naval vessels!"

Xu Le also understood and nodded, saying, "It's fine if they just transport supplies, but we're afraid that the Japanese will transport troops to land in India. That way, they can perfectly avoid our Xu family army and launch an attack on the Indian interior! But that's not right. If we can think of this, England can't fail to think of it. At this critical moment, they should rely on us more."

"Yes, it will take some time for the Japanese navy to deploy. As long as the British-Indian coalition forces and our Xu family army join forces to eliminate the Imphal Japanese in a short period of time, all crises can be resolved! But the problem lies here. England actually chose to turn against us at this time!"

Wei Li pointed out the final point. Any normal person would choose to do this, but England did the opposite.

Xu Le pondered for a moment. The memory of his previous life was completely useless. "India has provided a large number of troops and resources for the defense of England, so they can't give up India easily! But according to Wei Wei'er's tough attitude, they don't want to have a large-scale clash with the devils in India. If the devils attack the heart of India, Wei Wei'er will choose to retreat!"

"Yes, I am afraid of this now. The German army has already entered North Africa, and a million troops are approaching the Middle East. If the Japanese send a large number of troops to land in India like they did in the Philippines, and then join forces with Germany in the Middle East, then the world will be in real trouble!"

Apart from Xu Le who traveled through time, Wei Li understood the international geographical situation better than anyone else. The intersection of the three battlefields of Asia, Europe and Africa was in the Middle East, which must not fall into the hands of the enemy!

Fang Yue said with a heavy expression: "No matter how strong our army is, it can only fight on land. If the Japanese bypass the inland and take advantage of the ocean, I'm afraid it will really be like what Advisor Wei said. Therefore, we can't wait any longer. We must push our troops to the coastline and deploy the naval vessels before the Japanese make the next move!"

Fang Yue’s words hit the nail on the head. No matter what may happen in the future, it is unrealistic to rely on others. Only by keeping the initiative firmly in your own hands can you be fearless.

Xu Le immediately made the decision: "Okay, Advisor Wei, Commander Fang, you and Commander-in-Chief Zhu should work out a detailed plan for a comprehensive attack on Burma. For this operation, the First Army alone is not enough. I will transfer some troops from Shanxi Province!"

Wei Li thought about it and asked, "Then Marshal, how do we deal with the Japanese ransom? They are already delivering steel here one after another!"

"Then let them hurry up and send them here. As for the prisoners, don't even think about it. Tell them that I, Xu Le, am a righteous man. In order to help them atone for their sins, I will let them undergo labor reform for a year. They will be released after serving their sentences for a year!"

Wei Li and Fang Yue looked at each other and instantly understood what Xu Le meant.

These 18 people only have one year to live at most, and they can guarantee that their commander-in-chief will not let a single Japanese soldier 'released after serving his sentence'.

In this way, after nearly half a month of rest, the First Army of the Xu family army began its busy and intense work again.

Wei Li, Fang Yue and Zhu Xiaoping discussed together for three days and three nights, and made proper preparations for matters such as troop adjustments and logistical support.

In order to relieve the pressure on Wei Li, Xu Le ordered his removal from the position of commander of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division and appointed him as Deputy Chief of Staff of the General Staff.

On November 11, under Jiang Feng's arrangement, except for the 1 new recruits who had not yet completed training, the remaining 5 reservists were all incorporated into the front-line combat forces and given official numbers!

The 3rd Artillery Brigade is headed by Qian Siyuan, the former deputy brigade commander of the 1st Artillery Brigade, and is supplemented by the 3rd Air Defense Regiment.

The 3rd Armored Division replaced the 2nd Armored Division and was incorporated into the 88th Army.

The 2nd Armored Division under Guo Diti, together with three other newly formed divisions and the 3rd Artillery Brigade, formed the newly formed 3nd Army, with Guo Diti as the commander.

The 2nd Army only retained rifles and rushed to Mandalay in batches with light equipment to join the battle in Burma!
