    This banquet is a stage for Americans, British, and Australians. Of course, it also gives the Chinese an opportunity to attend. The special envoy of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China and the personal representative of Chiang Kai-shek, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in China and Southeast Asia Theater,  Yang Yongtai, secretary-general of the Military Commission, also naturally received an invitation.  (Please use the pinyin domain name of this site to visit us.

    Yang Yongtai arrived in Manila at noon on September 14th. To say that Yang Yongtai was not worried along the way would be a lie. Looking at the flight route, they were all within the control area of ??the Japanese. His special plane  , plus the six escorting fighter jets, it is probably just a plate of snacks in the Japanese mouth, not even a big meal.

    Therefore, after getting on the special plane and taking off from Chongqing, Yang Yongtai secretly prayed that as long as he could reach Manila smoothly and return to Chongqing safely, he would definitely prepare a generous gift of three animals and burn incense at the Leshan Giant Buddha to fulfill his vows. It might be his  The prayer moved the Buddha and blessed him with safety. Along the way, he did not even see the shadow of Japanese fighter jets. When the special plane touched the hard runway of Manila Airport and trembled slightly, Yang Yongtai could not believe that this was true.

    After getting off the plane and checking into the hotel arranged by the Americans, the first thing Yang Yongtai did was to visit Tang Qiuli, who had arrived in Manila a day earlier. This etiquette and process made Yang Yongtai, who was well versed in worldly relations and a veteran of the ups and downs of officialdom,  He would never fail, and he understood better that he was just a foil. MacArthur put on such a big scene for Tang Qiuli, or to be precise, for the soldiers in Tang Qiuli's hands.

    On the way to visit Tang Qiuli, Yang Yongtai set his own tone.  On the surface, everything was just following Tang Qiuli's lead, secretly playing tricks.  Reaching some kind of secret agreement with the Americans would depend on the actual situation. Yang Yongtai knew that it would be unwise to openly discredit Tang Qiuli, the deputy head of state of the Republic of China, on the occasion of such an international meeting.

    It also allowed those Western powers to see the disharmony among the top leaders of the Republic of China government, whether it was Chairman Chiang or Tang Qiuli.  There was no benefit, and the disgrace was all thrown abroad, but this did not prevent Yang Yongtai from working secretly for the National Government.  To put it bluntly, it was to gain benefits for Chairman Chiang outside the meeting.

    Before arriving at the hotel where Tang Qiuli was staying, Yang Yongtai heard about the incident that happened yesterday and shocked the whole Manila.  Yang Yongtai shook his head secretly and couldn't help but smacked his lips, "This young and energetic Vice Chairman is quite tough. After causing a riot in Manila, he actually forced MacArthur to kill more than thirty of his soldiers. I still have nothing to say.  It can be said that this person is strong enough, but he is not sophisticated enough. What good will it do if he offends the Americans?"

    However, Yang Yongtai couldn't figure it out. Based on his understanding of Tang Qiuli, he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake. When dealing with this young man, a cunning and cunning person like Yang Yongtai had to be cautious and deal with Tang Qiuli carefully.  What Qiu Li performed in Manila should be something that only a hot-blooded young man should do, but shouldn't Tang Qiu Li?  It was precisely because he couldn't figure it out that Yang Yongtai became even more afraid of Tang Qiuli.

    The visit was a courtesy. Yang Yongtai followed the etiquette of subordinates and was very polite. Tang Qiuli did not say anything about what he did in Manila last night, and Yang Yongtai did not mention a word, pretending not to know, and was very polite.  After saying this, Yang Yongtai hurriedly said goodbye, "Vice Chairman, I won't disturb your rest because of my humble position. Take your leave!"

    Tang Qiuli stood up to see them off and said with a smile: "Secretary-General Yang is really in a hurry. Since General MacArthur's dinner will be held in a few hours, why not Secretary-General Yang stay here and have a cup of tea?"  Good tea, let¡¯s discuss the relevant countermeasures at the meeting. Then, let¡¯s go there together. Wouldn¡¯t it be convenient if we could just go along? It would also save the secretary-general a lot of work. I wonder what Secretary-General Yang would like?¡±

    Yang Yongtai was stunned and explained with a smile on his face, "I will bear in mind the kindness of the Vice Chairman and his humble position. However, the delegation has just arrived and there are still many things to deal with. Yongtai is also troubled by everything and can only live up to the Vice Chairman."  That's very kind of me!" After saying that, he bowed briefly and left in a hurry.

    Tang Qiuli smiled and saw that the mountain tiger next to him was puzzled. He couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Xiao Qiu, why did you invite this guy to go with you? I saw that he was arrogant and looked like an old fox, and I felt uncomfortable. What's more?  , not the same person at all.¡±

    Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "Huzi, this Yang Yongtai is not simple. He came to visit me firstly as a necessary courtesy and to show an attitude. On the surface, he will not act against us. As for  I don¡¯t know what kind of dealings he has with the Americans and the British behind the scenes. Not going to the cocktail party with us is to express an attitude to MacArthur. He and we are from two different walks of life. He neither offends us nor offends us.  Don¡¯t offend the Americans, Yang Yongtai is smart!¡±

    Shanhu muttered, "YourThere are too many twists and turns in your brain, are you tired?  "Tang Qiuli smiled helplessly. If necessary, he would not use his brains or resort to tricks like this. Thinking about it, he felt tired and panicked. He had no choice but to deal with these types of people. If you don't show it,  Fang, do they think you are a sheep?

    Turning around and shouting towards the house: "Xiaoxue, are you ready?" Mei Xue opened the bedroom door and said angrily: "What are you shouting for? You asked me to dress up, why did I get so much trouble?"  The two grown men were stunned when they saw Mei Xue coming out.

    To be honest, Mei Xue did not dress up deliberately, and she was not flashy. She wore a lotus-colored cheongsam, which made her slender and graceful body appear exquisitely convex and concave. Her smooth and white face was lightly painted with powder and black hair.  Her long hair was tied into a bun in a Chinese classical style, and there were no decorations on her body. She stood in front of Tang Qiuli and Shan Hu so fresh, elegant and lively.

    Shanhu pulled Tang Qiuli's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoqiu, this is the dress you bought for Mei Xue. It's so beautiful!" Tang Qiuli turned his head and bit Shanhu's ear, "Okay, Huzi  , Do you like it? Buy one for Ouyang Lan and take it back." This was originally a joke, but Shan Hu actually nodded fiercely, "Okay, let Mei Xue help me choose, they have similar figures!  "

    When Mei Xue saw the two grown men chattering there, she glanced at her from time to time, stamped her feet, and shouted with a blushing face: "What are you whispering about?" Tang Qiuli said quickly, "Shan Hu and I are talking.  , So beautiful, this is my Tang Qiuli¡¯s wife, Shan Hu also said that he would buy one for Ouyang Lan! "

    Mei Xue glared at Tang Qiuli happily because she could make her husband praise her. The wife was unhappy and said: "By the time you two careless men think of this, it will be too late. Not only will I give it to Sister Ouyang  I bought one, and also bought one for my sister, and put them all in my suitcase!¡±

    The streets of Manila are already brightly lit, with neon lights flashing, and there is still a bustling flow of people, but the drunken and rampaging American soldiers are missing. At the entrance of the heavily guarded Manila Hotel, the guests who come to attend the cocktail party first hand over their invitations.  Then, he took out the special pass issued by the US military headquarters and walked into the hotel lobby amidst the salute of the US military police.

    Three very ordinary cars were parked in front of the hotel. Although they were checked by several sentries, the American military police at the door still performed their duties meticulously. What could be seen were several young and tough Chinese people, surrounded by  A man and a woman came over, and the U.S. military police officer responsible for checking the documents couldn't help but frown.

    A group of Chinese people came in just now, and their attitude was much more courteous. Unlike these Chinese people, who walked as if no one else was around. They didn't know that this was American territory, and it was not the Chinese's turn to be arrogant.  The young gendarme was about to stop shouting, and he was also preparing to cause some trouble for them, even the invited guests. He had to make these Chinese people understand who was the owner of this land.  !

    Just as he was about to take a step, someone grabbed him by the back collar of his military uniform, causing him to fall over. The military policeman looked back angrily, and saw that it was their platoon leader, a second lieutenant of the US military police, who just asked a simple question, and  , his attitude was very respectful, he glanced at the certificate, let him go with great enthusiasm, and saluted him with a polite military salute.

    The second lieutenant turned back, looked at the military policeman fiercely, and lowered his voice and said: "You are looking for death! This is that Tang Qiuli." The US military policeman suddenly felt that cold sweat broke out on his body, "My God, it turns out to be that god of plague, talk about it."  While laughing, more than thirty brothers lost their lives. I went to trouble him. Isn¡¯t it because I have a long life? Also, in Manila, who else can be so arrogant and unconventional? "He is very angry.  He glanced at the platoon leader gratefully.

    The lobby of the hotel is magnificently decorated, with a long table filled with various wines, fruits and cold cuts. This is a typical Western-style cocktail party. Guests are free to take food at will and get to know each other.  MacArthur, Alexander and Australian Army Chief of Staff Brooks were talking in a low voice.

    As soon as Shan Hu took a look, he saw the long table. His face immediately started to twitch, and the acid water in his stomach couldn't help but overflow. He cursed in his heart: "Damn it, the Americans are making these pig and dog food again."  , I will have to find something else to fill my belly when I go back." For Shan Hu, attending such a cocktail party is simply a living hell.

    "General Tang Qiuli, vice chairman of the Chinese Democratic People's Liberation Army, commander-in-chief of the Burma Theater, commander of the North China Army Division, and second-level general of the Army, is here!" the master of ceremonies sang loudly, not to mention, this foreign master of ceremonies has great respect for China.  His etiquette is quite simple, his shouting is clear and crisp, and he has all kinds of titles.

    The lively scene was deserted at that timeWhen we came down, the real owner arrived. Everyone's eyes were turned towards the door, wanting to catch a glimpse of this man who had stirred up a storm just after arriving in Manila.

    Off-topic: It was already the end of September, but the Eastern Mongolia region suddenly ushered in a heavy rain. Howling winds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain were comparable to the midsummer season. As a result, the cup was broken, the power was out, and the Internet was disconnected.  , Xiaojin stayed with a little candlelight, and waited until after one o'clock in the morning, but the power was still not restored, so she had to cover her head and fall asleep. Fortunately, at about two o'clock this afternoon, everything was restored. I quickly coded, which delayed all the book friends.  , I¡¯m so sorry!  (To be continued: Gone with the Sky.
