Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    China and Japan fought for two days and two nights in the air and on the sea. The consequences of the Japanese's disastrous defeat made General MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the United States in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, even more distressed than Prince Zain, the chief of staff of the Japanese base camp.  .  {

    MacArthur must face the pressure from both Tang Qiuli and the Japanese. He is not stupid. Tang Qiuli will not forget the tricks he did secretly to prevent the Japanese fleet from passing the Malacca Strait and provide intelligence to the Japanese. That Chinese  He had already learned a lot about his personality when he was in Manila.

    The Japanese were beaten to a bloody head by Tang Qiuli. They would definitely blame themselves for not fulfilling their obligations in accordance with the requirements of the Japan-US Secret Military Mutual Assistance Treaty and not taking action against the Japanese division's fleet. If the Japanese won the battle, this would  Everything is easy to say, and the Japanese have no reason to vent their anger. Is it too late to celebrate?

    But now, the Japanese were defeated and would definitely become angry. MacArthur was afraid of the Emperor and their people from the bottom of his heart. However, if the Japanese defeated Tang Qiuli, it would not be appropriate for him to rely on the Chinese.  The original intention was to get rid of the Japanese who were the biggest threat. It would be best to hurt both sides, but no such good thing happened!

    MacArthur went crazy because of the rare opportunity. He didn't know that Zai Ren had already regarded Americans as the most untrustworthy people and included them as targets to stir up trouble in front of the emperor. Otherwise, this American four-star general might be thinking of committing suicide.  It happens all the time. No one can stand this kind of stimulation. He shoots himself in the foot. Not only his feet, but also his head.

    Stilwell looked at MacArthur with a bitter face, shook his head sympathetically, and said slowly: "Your Excellency, Commander, I personally think that the most urgent problem that needs to be solved at the moment is that we must establish a relationship between Tang Qiuli and the Japanese.  , choose one as a reliable ally, otherwise our presence in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific will be suppressed by both sides.¡±

    This is also what worries MacArthur. He has always been good at dancing.  He was able to navigate between Tang Qiuli and the Japanese, selling well on both ends, not suffering losses on both ends, and doing things without hesitation. When it was time to get to the bottom of his heart, he discovered that nothing was done.  If you can gain the other party's trust and take the initiative to show your kindness, will it be considered another conspiracy?

    Stilwell saw MacArthur's concerns and felt helpless for a while. He didn't know how to describe his immediate boss. What he did was so unfair, so he said bluntly: "Commander, I personally think that.  The Chinese Tang Qiuli should be chosen as our ally. First, there is an alliance and mutual assistance treaty. Second, in my personal opinion, Tang Qiuli is much easier to deal with than the Japanese! "

    There is another reason that Stilwell did not say. If Tang Qiuli forms an alliance with the Japanese and takes advantage of the power of victory, he will never be polite to the Americans. He will even be more ruthless than the Japanese.  He is not a fool. When two opponents form an alliance, they will inevitably defeat each other. The Japanese were newly defeated and hid aside to bandage their wounds and recover their strength. When the Americans were attacked by Tang Qiuli.  The Japanese will never and do not have the ability to lend a helping hand.

    Tang Qiuli was strong, but there were still possibilities and channels for dialogue. In Chinese words, it was "the lesser of two evils." MacArthur strongly agreed with Stilwell's suggestion. In fact, there was no other way.  He looked at each other for a while, then said to Stilwell: "Chief of Staff, regarding the matter of repairing the relationship with Tang Qiuli, you still need to come forward. After all, you have dealt with each other many times and have a basis for conversation."

    Stilwell was speechless and sweating profusely. The reason why he repeatedly stressed his personal opinions was that he was afraid that this hot potato would be thrown into his hands, but he still didn't hide away. This is really evil. You, MacArthur, are in a mess.  Is it still natural for you to ask me to clean up the dirty things you did?

    What did you say when you met Tang Qiuli?  Let me explain, is this Chinese so easy to fool and get rid of?  Put it on yourself, even for those bad things MacArthur did, you have to be punished a little to make it a long memory. Stilwell deliberately declined and refused to take this bad job, but when he saw MacArthur's face, he followed suit.  Like a rag, he looked at himself expectantly, his heart softened, and he nodded in agreement.

    However, he had to draw a bottom line, "Your Majesty Commander, where is the bottom line in our negotiations with Tang Qiuli?" MacArthur thought about it and replied simply: "As long as we can repair the relationship with Tang Qiuli, we will be harmed."  When the Japanese attack, he can send troops to assist, and you can control the bottom line yourself, without any interference from the headquarters. "

    Stilwell understood that MacArthur was betting on himself, and he had control over the bottom line, which meant that he had no bottom line. He could kowtow and admit his mistakes, call his grandfather to beg for mercy with a smile on his face, and endure the cynicism, ridicule and ridicule of the Chinese. As long as he could defeat Tang Qiuli.  Once you feel comfortable, when the Japanese call, please lend a hand and do whatever you want with Stilwell.Either way will do.

    Thinking of this, Stilwell became upset for a while, as disgusting as eating a fly. MacArthur was really nothing. His old face was worth money. He wanted face, but he couldn't let go of his arrogance, so he risked his face to stick to the cold ass of the Chinese.  , how can I talk about having such an immediate boss? What's the deal?

    Tang Qiuli looked at the telegram sent by the fleet with a sad look on his face. He had already expected that the time difference exploited by the Japanese commander would cause losses to the fleet, but he did not expect that the losses to the fleet would be so great.  Only six warships were slightly damaged, which had nothing to do with the overall situation. However, in an air battle, a carrier-based aircraft flight group was wiped out, which still surprised him.

    Moreover, as many as fifty-eight pilots were killed, which made Tang Qiuli tremble with heartache. He understood how Brother Qiuquan felt now. The Japanese division fleet set out from the Zhanjiang base and never fought against the Japanese fleet once. The ship-borne  More than half of the opportunity was lost, which was Brother Qiuquan's hard work for more than three years. At this moment, Brother Qiuquan's mood, Tang Qiuli sighed, he didn't know how to comfort Tang Qiuquan like this.

    The loss of the fleet diluted his inner joy of capturing the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet. "The fleet's carrier-based aircraft are severely damaged," Tang Qiuli said to Tang Qiusheng. Tang Qiusheng also had a solemn look on his face, but he  He didn't say anything, knowing that his brother had more to say.

    "Brother Qiu Sheng, I am planning to mobilize pilots from Liu Cuigang's Northern Flying Group into an organized group, and train them at the Qingdao Naval Base to replenish the fleet as soon as possible. We also have three newly captured aircraft carriers, and we also need carrier-based aircraft pilots. Fortunately,  , Now in the northern region, the Kwantung Army Air Force is suppressed by Liu Cuigang, and there is not much pressure from the north. Otherwise, it would be really difficult now. "

    Tang Qiusheng nodded and said: "The Le Yiqin fleet has a heavy air combat mission and it is not suitable to deploy pilots. At present, there is no major war in the northern region. Deputy Commander Liu is on the ground, suppressing the Kwantung Army to death. In the sky, Liu Cuigang is also  Having the upper hand, I took a look at the war situation report. The fighter jets of the Northern Flying Group can penetrate deep into the airspace around Fengtian. "

    "The Kwantung Army's fighter jets did not even dare to cross the front line of Liaozhong. This was also due to the main energy of the Kwantung Army. The front line of the Outer Xing'an Mountains was restrained by the Soviets and unable to escape. However, they were mobilized from Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang  Pilots are not a long-term solution. I think this is the case. I order the aviation department of Dingbian Military Academy to train this year's trainees in the direction of carrier-based aircraft pilots. The Guangzhou branch should also train in this direction, and the problem can be solved.  "

    Tang Qiuli nodded repeatedly and said politely: "Brother Qiu Sheng, you are sincere, this plan is very good, just do it like this, Xinlan, record the order." However, he saw Liu Xinlan hesitated and said in confusion: "Xinlan  Lan, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Liu Xinlan took a telegram and said: "Commander, this is a private telegram from Fleet Commander Tang. I received it two hours ago. I was afraid of disturbing your command, so I suppressed it temporarily," Liu Xinlan finished.  , lowered his head, not daring to look at him. Tang Qiuli felt nervous and secretly suspected, "Why did Brother Qiuquan use a private telegram? What else could interfere with my command? Could it be that something unexpected happened?"  matter?"

    After receiving the telegram, the message was not long, "Xiaoqiu, during the air battle just now, Yunfei led the first regiment of carrier-based aircraft to fight against the Japanese Seventh Air Force. The plane was shot down over the sea off Bangkok. Yunfei's whereabouts are unknown after parachuting.  Commander Ma Chaoyang of the Southeast Mobile Corps sent a boat to search for him, but so far he has not been found. It is estimated that he is unlikely to survive. You should be mentally prepared, Qiuquan. "

    Tang Qiuli's eyes were filled with stars, his ears were buzzing, and his chest felt like a huge stone was blocking his breath. The relationship between him and Yun Fei, apart from the blood relationship, also contained other emotions.

    How could he bear this incident? His body shook a few times and his face turned pale. Seeing this, Liu Xinlan hurriedly came over to help her. She had heard Tang Qiuli talk about her relationship with Tang Yunfei, so she sent this telegram.  After the battle was over, he didn't expect that Tang Qiuli would react so strongly.

    Tang Qiusheng received the telegram with a sad expression on his face, and his heart suddenly ached. When it comes to his love for Yunfei, he is no less fond of it than Tang Qiuli. Among the third-generation descendants of the Tang family, Yunfei's performance is the most outstanding.  But everything can't be messed up. Maybe Yunfei still has a chance to survive?

    Tang Qiuli controlled his emotions, slowly pushed away Liu Xinlan's support, and growled through gritted teeth: "If something happens to Yun Fei, I will bury him with 200,000 Japanese soldiers in Yangon City!"

    After finishing speaking, he said to Liu Xinlan: "Xinlan, order Le Yiqin to rush to the Yangdong frontline headquarters immediately after landing in Myitkyina. I want to arrange the air raid on Okinawa in person. The Japanese Seventh Air Force  , there is no need to exist.¡±

    Murderous aura, soaring to the sky, Liu Xinlan, who was closest to Tang Qiuli, couldn't help but hit herShivering, it was obvious that the deep-seated hatred in Tang Qiuli's heart at this moment could no longer be suppressed.
