    Stilwell breathed a sigh of relief. He knew the character of his boss very well. He was used to being a boss. He had been stationed overseas for a long time and developed MacArthur's arrogant, arrogant and uncompromising character. He was really afraid of this boss.  In a rage, he ordered all the US military fighter jets to take off, and gave Tang Qiuli a good look while watching - book_.)

    Fortunately, such a thing did not happen. Otherwise, this would have been an international sensation. There was a firefight within the Allies, and the target of the firefight was the invited guests. Doing so would be extremely detrimental to both the United States and China.  Only the Japanese were happy. Stilwell and MacArthur had the same judgment. Tang Qiuli would never shoot down the U.S. fighter jets that came to escort him for no reason.

    What good will this do to him?  What benefits can be obtained?  Therefore, there must be a reason for everything. Stilwell understood that the young masters of the Army Air Corps stationed in the Philippines usually caused trouble and were restless. He often received similar reports from the military police. This time, I am afraid it is no exception?

    Stilwell stood at attention and saluted, "Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I will definitely handle this matter. I will give the headquarters a detailed report on the cause of the incident." He could not say any more.  Tang Qiuli was disgusted to the core. He traveled thousands of miles to Manila. As a landlord, he didn't even meet him. It was rude. Stilwell couldn't help but worry about the future of the upcoming meeting.

    This is destined to be a tortuous, difficult and unsuccessful meeting. In this case, why do you, MacArthur, still insist on holding this meeting?  Stilwell couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with his boss. MacArthur looked at his back with two cold gleams in his gray-blue eyes. Since Tang Qiuli is here, he must obey his own arrangements. Otherwise, if he wants to leave Manila,  will most likely

    I will definitely make this arrogant Chinese pay a heavy price. After using it, he will become a useless chess piece. This is the price of his arrogance. At the same time, through Tang Qiuli's extremely tough performance, MacArthur realized that this is an extremely  It was not easy or perhaps impossible to bribe or surrender. Perhaps it was at this moment that MacArthur changed his original mind. The person he would support in the future was Chiang Kai-shek of the Chinese government.

    Tang Qiuli was the first guest to arrive in Manila. If the Japanese had not ambushed him on the way, he would not have been willing to come here two days in advance. Under the setting sun, the special plane circled around and slowly landed at the Manila Airport.  Tang Yunfei's escort carrier-based aircraft formation continued to hover in the sky. He didn't let out a sigh of relief until he saw his uncle's special plane taxiing smoothly on the runway.

    Tang Qiuli's formation was quite large. Forty-eight fighter jets, like a flock of eagles, circled over the Manila Airport, causing countless citizens to stop and watch, and they all commented, "Where is this big shot?" MacArthur said in his words  In his top-floor office, he looked in the direction of the airport with a gloomy expression.

    In his opinion, this is a manifestation of Tang Qiuli's arrogance. Is he demonstrating against me?  There were only forty fighter jets. If all the American planes took off, they would block the sky over Manila. There was a disdainful sneer on his lips. He did not consider whether Tang Qiuli risked being ambushed and intercepted by Japanese planes.  The danger of being killed has traveled thousands of miles to get here. If there is not enough escort aircraft, how can safety be guaranteed?

    After the special plane stopped, Tang Qiuli walked down the ramp. The airport was deserted. No welcoming crowds or scenes were seen. Only a few American jeeps were parked at the end of the runway. This was also the scene.  It was expected. After all, he had just ordered to kill three American planes. If he had a good face, he would not be an American.

    Stilwell personally came to the airport to greet him. Having learned the lesson from the sky over Batangas, Stilwell would not dare to hold any more welcome ceremony. Originally, Tang Qiuli was the deputy head of state of a country and should have corresponding  Welcome etiquette, but under MacArthur¡¯s hawk-like gaze, Stilwell swallowed the words back alive. It¡¯s better to do less than to do more.

    Stilwell stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hands from Li Laoyuan, and shouted enthusiastically: "Welcome General Tang to beautiful Manila." Tang Qiuli smiled and held Stilwell's big hand, and said: "Thank you, General."  I went to the airport to greet me in person. This is the second time we have met." Stilwell replied: "Yeah, the memories are always beautiful. I can't forget the warm reception the general gave me in my mother's beautiful little town Tengchong."

    The atmosphere seemed quite harmonious, and Stilwell's enthusiasm seemed to be intended to make Tang Qiuli ignore the deserted and embarrassing situation at the airport. Stilwell was secretly relieved when Tang Qiuli showed no sign of displeasure.  MacArthur's arrangement of deliberately snubbing Tang Qiuli made Stilwell feel somewhat uncomfortable.

    After the polite greetings, before Stilwell could take a breath of relief, Tang Qiuli suppressed the smile on his face and said calmly: "General Stilwell"When I was about to arrive in Manila, something very unpleasant happened to me. Your country's escort fighter group not only failed to fulfill its responsibilities to greet and escort me, but instead wantonly provoked my escort fighter pilots."

    "As a result, one of our planes almost crashed into the sea. What's more serious is that your fighter pilot made insulting actions around my plane. I immediately ordered my subordinates to shoot it down. The general must have also  Do you know this? Is this how Americans, who are known to be aristocratic and claim to be the most developed country, treat guests? I want you to give me a reasonable explanation and guarantee that similar things will never happen again.  Otherwise, my counterattack will be fierce."

    Stilwell groaned as if he had a toothache and showed a helpless smile, "Tang Qiuli is still so tough. Even when he reached the sphere of influence of us Americans, he still did not change his true colors and shot down the fighter jets of our American team.  He also took the initiative to raise troops to investigate the crime. This Chinese person has too many nationalistic qualities, tough and uncompromising."

    As expected, it was the Army Air Corps. Stilwell could fully imagine the trouble caused by those young masters. In fact, their actions and performances were even more serious than what Tang Qiuli said. Stilwell said very sincerely: "  Please rest assured, General Tang, I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation. If this is indeed the case, we will severely punish the pilot involved. Commander-in-Chief MacArthur also stated the same."

    Tang Qiuli did not ask further questions. This was enough. He shot down a US fighter jet and protested and warned him in person. His attitude was tough enough. Tang Qiuli also believed that this was definitely not ordered by MacArthur or Stilwell.  , it¡¯s not necessary, and it¡¯s not that stupid. It should be a ridiculous move made by the US military pilots on their own initiative.

    The motorcade drove out of the airport and turned onto the bustling streets of Manila. It was already dusk. Looking out through the car window, the lights on the streets of Manila were starting to turn on, with neon lights flashing. There was a deformed and prosperous scene everywhere. From time to time, there were US military jeeps roaring by.  Then, a drunken American soldier walked through the market with his arms around a Filipino girl with a sallow complexion, a hot body, scantily clad clothes, big breasts and wide buttocks, and from time to time blew an ominous and harsh whistle to the young woman passing by.

    The whole city was filled with an atmosphere of decadence, feasting, and extravagance. For some reason, Tang Qiuli felt a strong revulsion in his heart when he looked at this colonial city. In addition, Manila in September  , it was still humid and hot, and the salty sea breeze blew in through the open car window, and I suddenly felt a sticky, wet and uncomfortable feeling.

    In western Yunnan and northern Myanmar, although the temperature is also very high, there is no feeling of refreshment. The wind blowing from the mountains has a refreshing breath, but it is not like the night wind in Manila, which has a refreshing feeling.  Tang Qiuli couldn't help frowning due to the pungent smell of powder and suffocating corruption, and looked at Mei Xue beside him. It was obviously the first time he saw an exotic beauty, and he was dizzy.

    The hotel arranged by Stilwell was in good condition. There were dozens of Tang Qiuli's entourages, and almost half of the floor was booked. Moreover, Tang Qiuli's room was obviously the most luxurious in the hotel. Obviously, Stilwell was  After putting in a lot of effort, naturally, Tang Qiuli couldn't turn a blind eye to the painstaking efforts of this American general, whom he had always liked, and expressed his gratitude and courtesy.

    After Stilwell and his entourage said goodbye, Tang Qiuli had a very unpleasant dinner. To be honest, the food at the Manila Hotel was not suitable for his appetite. It was indescribably sweet, bland, and tasteless.  It was delicious. After dinner, he returned to the room. Looking at Mei Xue who was not tired at all, Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "Xue'er, do you want to take a look at the night view of Manila?"

    Mei Xue jumped for joy like a child, and gave him a sweet kiss on the face. Tang Qiuli had his own pettiness. Based on his past life experience, the food in those high-end hotels was called high-end, but in fact it was good-looking or not delicious.  If you want to know the food of a place, the best way is to eat street food. He was half hungry and half full from dinner today. For him with a big stomach, it was simply a kind of torture. By going shopping with Mei Xue,  Opportunity, filling your belly, isn¡¯t it killing two birds with one stone?

    However, in order to make the trip, Shan Hu, the captain of the guard team, had to approve it. Tang Qiuli had to spend a lot of time, coercion and inducements, and he also used reason and emotion before Shan Hu opened his mouth and gave the order.  A dozen special guards changed into casual clothes. Tang Qiuli also took Mei Xue and Shan Hu, also dressed in casual clothes, and went out happily.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????: The streets of Manila at night were crowded with people, scantily clad girls swaggering through the city. Not far out, Tang Qiuli felt uncomfortable, mainly due to the looks of those Filipino men and US soldiers. How should I put it?  Directly, with an uncontrollable desire, all of this is related to Mei Xue, who is holding her arm and unconscious.
