The photos are very clear. Although they are only black and white photos, you can clearly see the size of the camp, the surrounding environment and even the expressions on the faces of the prisoners.

After looking at a few photos, Du Yuming took out one of them and said, "Look, this prisoner-of-war camp is very large, covering at least hundreds of acres, and the houses are densely packed.

In terms of size, this prisoner-of-war camp can accommodate at least 5000 people, but the actual number is hard to say. "

"The actual number is at least no less than 1."

Luo Zhuoying spoke, "Look at this photo."

He picked out a photo, pointed to it and said, "This photo was taken from a height of several hundred meters, from here we can see that the open space of the prisoner-of-war camp is full of prisoners of war.

There are at least 7000 people here alone. If you add those in the house, I think the number of prisoners of war is definitely not less than 1. "

Listening to Luo Zhuoying's analysis, Gao Hongming and Du Yuming nodded in agreement.

The Japanese are not stupid. Since they have built a prisoner-of-war camp that can accommodate more than 1 people, they naturally will not only detain a few thousand people.

After seeing the photos, a new problem was posed in front of the three of them, what should they do?
It's fine if they didn't know before, but now that they know about this situation, they can't remain indifferent.

But how to do it is a test of their ability.

Gao Hongming put the photo on the table casually, and looked at the two of them: "Mr. Luo, Mr. Du, what do you two think about this matter?"

"That's where the headaches start."

Luo Zhuoying stretched out her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose, showing a tired expression.

"Such a thing cannot be concealed. It must be reported to the Military Commission and notified to General Stilwell and the British, but I am afraid that the British and the United States will make trouble if they find out."

"Get into trouble?" Gao Hongming asked curiously, "How can they make trouble?"

"What's the trouble?" Du Yuming took up the topic, "It must be to put pressure on the committee, let us send troops to rescue those prisoners of war."

"Rescue me, are you kidding me?" Gao Hongming was stunned.

Rescuing prisoners of war seems to be all right at first glance.

But looking at the entire history of World War II, it is basically rare to hear of any country that would take the initiative to send troops to rescue its own prisoners of war.

Why is that?
Could it be said that each country does not care about the life and death of its own prisoners of war?
In fact, this is not the case, because rescuing prisoners of war is an extremely uneconomical and very dangerous operation, and generally speaking, the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.

Reason [-]: Most countries in the world have signed the "Geneva Convention".

Although everyone cannot be expected to strictly abide by this agreement, under normal circumstances such mass slaughter of prisoners of war rarely occurs.

Of course, except for beastly countries like Japan.

Second: Prisoner-of-war camps are generally set up in the rear, which poses a high risk to the rescue of prisoners of war. The opponent's army is not a fool, and will just watch the enemy come to rescue prisoners of war.

Once they discover that the enemy has rescued prisoners of war, they will definitely not hesitate to carry out a large-scale massacre of unarmed prisoners of war, causing a large number of casualties.

Therefore, instead of risking rescue, it is better to stay in the prisoner-of-war camp and wait for the end of the war.

Then the question arises, since this is the case, why is Luo Zhuoying still worried that Britain and the United States will put pressure on Chongqing to let the Chinese government find a way to rescue the prisoners of war?

The reason lies in the photos, because in these photos, there are several photos that clearly captured the behavior of the Japanese army shooting the prisoners of war. The rows of corpses lying in pools of blood on the ground will definitely make Britain and the United States jump up.

The facts are exactly what Luo Zhuoying worried about.

After they handed in the matter and photos, Stilwell broke into the command post of the expeditionary force early in the morning of the third day.

Today, the old man looks quite different from the old man. Today, he is unshaven and haggard, and even his military uniform, which is always ironed on weekdays, is wrinkled.

And Stilwell's arrival also surprised the three of them, since Stilwell seldom came to the expeditionary army headquarters since the last time he got into a stalemate with the expeditionary army and the chairman.

It is said that the chairman of Chongqing was extremely dissatisfied with him. He not only ignored the US government's threat to stop military aid, but even told the US government straightforwardly that once the US government stopped military aid to China, China might unilaterally withdraw from the allies.

Facing the rare tough attitude of the Chongqing government, the Americans were dumbfounded.

It is now a critical period when the Allies and the Axis powers are at war, although the United States won the Battle of Midway and began to launch a counterattack in the Pacific.

But the Japanese are not vegetarians. So far, the Allied forces in Southeast Asia have basically completely fallen.

Singapore, the Philippines, Malacca, Kuala Lumpur, and Luzon Island were all acquired by the Japanese.

In Africa, the US-British coalition forces had just landed in North Africa and were fighting fiercely with the Germans.

On the Soviet-German battlefield, the German army and the Soviet army are fighting in Stalingrad, which can be called the cruelest battle in history.

In this battle, both sides dispatched a total of 500 million troops, and Stalin killed bloody rivers, with an average daily casualty of more than [-].

It can be said that the outcome of this battle can even affect the direction of World War II.

At such a critical moment, any strength is precious, how dare the Americans let Huaxia leave?

All fools know that once China falls into the embrace of the Axis powers, the Axis powers will immediately increase their population by 4.5 million, and the number of troops that can be mobilized will directly number in the tens of millions.

Without thinking about it, Roosevelt and his staff immediately made the decision to call Stilwell back home.

Seeing Stilwell coming out of the blue, the three of them looked at each other, and Luo Zhuoying took the lead to meet Stilwell and stretched out his hand to Stilwell.

"General Stilwell, you haven't been here for a while, you are welcome."

The haggard Stilwell looked at the three with a somewhat complicated expression, and said indifferently: "General Luo, use your Chinese proverbs, let's make a long story short.

I came here today for two things. The first is to hand over to you. I have already been recalled by Washington. Starting today, General Wedemeyer will take over my job.

The second thing is the matter of the prisoner-of-war camp where you sent our compatriots to the officials a few days ago, but this matter is out of my control. You can talk to General Wedemeyer yourself.

I won't bother you, goodbye! "

After finishing speaking, Stilwell actually left without looking back, leaving everyone stunned.

After Stilwell left, everyone turned their attention to a lieutenant general wearing a US military uniform not far away. It seemed that this was the Wedemeyer that Stilwell was talking about.

"Gentlemen, hello!"

Before everyone had time to react, Wei Demei walked over to greet everyone first.
