Chapter 702 How to deal with it

About [-] kilometers north of Yangon, there is an inconspicuous town called Nadoki.

There are less than 1000 original residents here, and it is deserted on weekdays, but since a year ago, with the arrival of the British army, the place has become lively.

Especially three months ago, after it was designated as a transit point for American aid to Britain, its popularity reached its peak.

According to statistics, at its peak, the British garrison here reached more than 1 people. If you add the family members accompanying the army and the Anglo-Saxons who are planning to retreat to India to venture in the East, the number of Westerners gathered here can even reach 2. More than ten thousand people.

A large number of people naturally brings popularity. Now walking on the dirt road in the small town of Nadoki, there are bustling crowds everywhere.

Drunken British soldiers, adventurers with rolling eyes, women and children arriving with their husbands or fathers.

Today, in a military camp on the eastern outskirts of the town, the British Governor-General in Burma, Wavell, said to a British officer with a displeased face:
"Colonel Petyr, why didn't General Alexander take these things away before going to India, what do you want me to do now?"

Petyr shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Your Excellency, General Alexander has already taken most of the important supplies with him when he left.

Now the rest are some irrelevant things, let's take our time and take it easy, there is no rush anyway. "

"Of course he doesn't care." Wavell looked displeased.

Of course he knew what was going on. Alexander left by plane. Due to limited capacity, he just transported all the valuable treasures he found in Myanmar onto the plane before leaving.

As for the materials that the United States aided the United Kingdom.

Hehe... These things are spent on the money of the British government, so what does it have to do with him.

What's more, those things are either weapons and ammunition, or military uniforms and blankets, which take up space and are worthless. What are you taking them for?
Besides, even if these things are gone, let the Americans send them over. Anyway, it is not his money.

The reason why Wavell, who knew the inside story, was angry was not because he felt sorry for these materials, but as the war stalemate and the Japanese army approached, the placement of these materials became a big problem.

If one is not good and these things fall into the hands of the Japanese, those gentlemen of the British government will definitely hit him with a board. Who made him not only the governor of Burma, but also the top person in charge of Britain in Burma today.

Thinking of this, Wavell's thick and short eyebrows frowned even tighter. At first glance, they looked like two eyebrow trimmers standing upright. Coupled with the thin cheeks and slightly curved nose, they looked extraordinarily cold.

Petyr also noticed the embarrassment of his governor, and he put forward his own suggestion:
"Your Excellency, all our troops are about to withdraw to India, and these things are likely to be inexhaustible, how do you think we should deal with them?

In my opinion, it is better to destroy these materials on the spot, what do you think? "

"Destroy it on the spot?"

Wavell thought for a while, then nodded hesitantly: "If there is no better way, this is the only way to go."

In this way, materials worth nearly one million US dollars are going to be burned like garbage.

And even at this level, none of the two of them thought of handing over these supplies to the Chinese army that was still fighting the Japanese bloody close at hand.

After explaining the matter, Wavell jumped into the jeep beside him. The driver who had been on standby for a long time was about to start the car when he heard the roar of the engine coming from a distance.

"and many more……"

Wavell stopped the driver who was about to start the car.

"Your Excellency, a convoy is coming from the east!" A sentinel reported loudly.

"All alert!" shouted the colonel.

Following the colonel's order, the surrounding British soldiers hurried into the fortifications, and machine guns were set up.

Soon, the convoy approached, and as the vehicles approached, the tense British soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and many of them let go of their index fingers on the triggers.

Because they had already seen clearly that the leader was a Willys jeep with a blue sky and white sun flag hanging on the front.

Behind the jeep were more than a dozen large trucks. When the car stopped, with the baffle lowered, many heavily armed soldiers jumped out of the truck.

And when they saw these soldiers, many British soldiers who had already relaxed their vigilance suddenly changed their expressions and gripped the rifles in their hands again.

Not only these soldiers, even Wavell suddenly grabbed the pistol at his waist, Colonel Petyr even grabbed the whistle around his neck and was ready to blow it at any time
The reason why these British soldiers were so nervous was because they clearly saw that a group of German soldiers jumped out of the truck.

But fortunately, Colonel Petyr's eyes were not bad, and he didn't blow the whistle that he had already put in his mouth, otherwise there would have been gunshots by now.

Today's Britain and Germany have already played out their dog's brains. Although Germany's sea lion project failed in the end two years ago, the losses caused to Britain were real.

Especially when Germany attacked France, the British and French allied forces were defeated, and hundreds of thousands of British troops were driven to the beach by the German army.

Had it not been for Hitler's sudden nerves to order the red-eyed German armored forces to stop advancing, none of the British and French allied forces would have tried to escape.

But even so, more than 30 British expeditionary forces lost all their supplies and weapons, and fled back to the UK with only their underpants.

From this point of view, the British's hatred of Germany is definitely the strongest in all European countries.

Now seeing the "German soldier" suddenly appearing in front of him at first glance, of course he became nervous.

Of course, what calmed them down in the end was that they could clearly see the typical yellow faces of those "German soldiers".

Under the still tense eyes of the British soldiers, a major general walked up to Wavell and said in American English that many British people despised:
"I'm Gao Hongming, are you Governor Wavell?"

Wavell looked at the young man in front of him, with a hint of displeasure on his gloomy face, then he raised his chin slightly and said.

"I'm Wavell, Mr. Gao, what's the matter with your sudden arrival?"

Looking at Wavell's slightly haughty expression, Gao Hongming despised the Briton's unyielding virtue even more in his heart.

I saw a slight smile: "I heard that your ministry plans to withdraw all of them to India, is that true?"

"Yes." Wavell readily admitted, after all, this has long been a public matter.

"If I remember correctly, Nadoki is a material transfer station for your army. There are a lot of aid materials from the United States to your country here. I don't know what you plan to do with it?"
