    At six o'clock in the evening on May 31, 1941, sixteen and a half hours had passed since Japan launched a full-scale attack on the U.S. military in the South Pacific. Tang Qiuli took a special plane and left Berlin, the capital of Germany.  On the way back to China, in addition to the original attach¨¦ of the division commander, there was also Major General Battelle who had changed into the uniform of the ** division.

    The two special planes, facing Berlin's brilliant sunset, disappeared into the eastern sky. At the airport, Hitler seemed to be missing something. This magical Chinese man had been in Berlin for only a total of forty hours, but it was like a powerful hurricane, giving him  He and Germany have brought about fundamental changes. This change not only excited Hitler, but also made him look forward to it.

    Tang Qiuli's special plane had disappeared from the sky for a long time. Hitler was still looking up to the east. A large group of German party, government and military officials came to see him off. No one knew how the head of state was feeling at this time, until the last touch of the horizon.  The fire was burning, swallowed up by the night, and the lights on the streets of Berlin began to light up before Hitler returned to the F¨¹hrer.

    Tang Qiuli on the special plane, of course, had no idea what Hitler was doing at this time. He, Battelle and Shan Hu were sitting together. Mei Xue, Liu Xinlan and Bai Luoyu were crowded around them, chatting casually.  If you don¡¯t finish it, there won¡¯t be a theme, just talk about whatever comes to mind!

    The meeting between Shanhu and Battelle was more masculine. The two hugged each other tightly at first, and then each stretched out a hand to hold each other and began to wrestle. Two big men of 1.8 meters and nearly 1.9 meters, and two  It's like a mountain, and the result is no winner or loser.

    The two looked at each other and laughed. Shanhu said with a "hehe" smile: "Battle, I haven't seen you in a few years. He is taller and stronger than me, and he is stronger. Now it's good, I have a companion.  We two brothers were still the second generals of Hengha next to the division commander!" When we were in the Northeast Blood Hand Regiment.  Shanhu and Battle were the guards who stayed by Tang Qiuli's side. One was known as the "Crazy Tiger" and the other was known as the "Blood Knife".  In the old Blood Hands, that is famous.

    Battle asked with a smile: "Brother Shanhu, why don't you leave a place for me? However, I really miss the time when we were together, killing little devils happily, okay. I'll be your deputy!"

    Tang Qiuli took over the conversation and said teasingly: "Huzi, stay here for a while, have you stayed by my side enough? Do you want to hand over the security brigade's stall to Battelle? Do you want to lead the troops to fight? It's your fault.  I can imagine that I will put two major generals on my team, oh!

    Everyone burst into laughter, Shan Hu touched his head and said seriously: "Commander, don't tell me, I really want to go down to that regiment and be a brigade commander or something. Battelle, you don't know, your brother has such a temper."  , I can¡¯t hear the sound of gunshots, and I have to go wherever there is danger. I have been worried all day long, and it is more tiring than leading tens of thousands of soldiers!¡±

    Tang Qiuli stared in anger.  Why does it sound like Shan Hu is taking care of a child?

    Tang Qiuli thought for a moment, and said seriously to Battle: "Brother, what do you want to do when you come back this time? You can leave the army, or you can stay with me. It mainly depends on your own wishes!"

    Battle smiled and said: "Brother, I'd better lead the troops. I've been leading soldiers in Germany for more than two years and I'm used to it. Besides, the German army and soldiers are very good in many aspects. I want to use these excellent things.  After more than two years of practice in leading troops, it can be said in all fairness that the German Army is one of the best armies in the world. "

    "Whether it is the quality of the soldiers, the level of equipment, the training standards, or the tactical guiding ideology, they are all commendable. They are a whole generation higher than what the little devils used. The German commanders are very tactically literate.  and strategic vision, these are all worth learning!¡±

    Tang Qiuli nodded with deep approval. It was no accident that the German army could defeat Britain and France, which were also European military powers, and sweep across the European continent. He said: "Battle, I intend to appoint you to serve as the armored force of our army division."  Commander, brother, you know that the armored forces of our army have not yet formed a complete set of armor tactics theory and tactics. When you come back, you will put more effort into this aspect based on reality!"

    Battle said with a naive smile: "Brother, am I going back to my old job? To be honest, Asian armies, including the Japanese army, do not have complete armored combat theory and experience. I am afraid that I do not have enough experience and will not be able to do it well.  !¡±

    Tang Qiuli said half-jokingly: "Learn to be humble! The famous Major General Commander of the Lightning Assault Division of the First Armored Group of Germany, winner of the Iron Cross twice, has a great reputation in the German military circles. Why, here we are.  Brother, don¡¯t you feel confident here?¡±

    Battle blushed and said with some embarrassment: "Aren't I afraid that if I don't do well, I will embarrass my brother? Besides, brother, everyone knows your ability. When the time comes, you have to help me!"  "

    Talking for a while, laughing for a while, inside the cabinThere were bursts of breathing from time to time, and before we knew it, it was already midnight. Everyone was in a lively conversation, and no one wanted to rest. Tang Qiuli kicked everyone away.

    After a whole night's flight, on the morning of June 1, the special plane landed at Ankara Airport to refuel. As usual, the German Overseas Military Intelligence Agency, Colonel Hoffmann, the head of the intelligence station in Ankara, came to greet him in person. However, this time,  Colonel Hoffman's attitude was obviously much more humble, with a smile as bright as the sun on his gloomy face.

    Tang Qiuli knew very well that it must be this guy who received the domestic notification and knew that during his stay in Berlin, he stirred up so much trouble that even Germany's No. 2 figure G?ring couldn't stand it.  , not to mention that he is a small colonel. If this untouchable guest of the head of state is unhappy and sends a secret telegram to the headquarters of the Intelligence Bureau, Hoffman will be in trouble!

    Therefore, in the face of Hoffman's enthusiasm, Tang Qiuli acted lukewarm, reserved and distant. However, Hoffman's professional qualities made Tang Qiuli take a high look at him. He was worthy of being an intelligence professional.  , without that order, Hoffman brought a copy of all the local newspapers, and the particularly important news, especially the news reports involving the Japanese's war against the Americans, were all translated into Chinese  .

    This is amazing. In just a dozen hours, Hoffman came up with something like this. Tang Qiuli couldn't help but be surprised. He is definitely a talent. Hoffman knew what he needed most, so he said he would invest in it.  Whether you like it or you are deliberately trying to please it, in short, what you bring out is what you need most, and the excellent characteristics of the Germanic nation are fully revealed!

    Tang Qiuli extended his hand sincerely and said, "Colonel Hoffman, thank you very much. I will keep everything you have done in my heart!"

    Hoffman was a little flattered that the distinguished guest of the head of state could say such words, and his work was worthwhile. To be fair, Hoffman prepared these out of the professional instinct of an intelligence officer. Did he receive instructions from the country?  , Deputy leaders of a country like Tang Qiuli urgently need to understand the current international situation. From the news reports published in newspapers, you can smell a different smell!

    Hoffman was very happy. He did the right thing. He didn't need to see the benefits immediately. As long as General Tang had his own name in mind, the benefits would come later. More than an hour later, the special plane took off from Ankara and continued towards  Fly towards the east.

    Watching the special plane gradually disappearing into the blue sky, Hoffman breathed a sigh of relief. He carefully recalled the process of receiving Tang Qiuli twice, and found that he had done a good job, so he drove happily.  Leave.

    Hoffman's guess was indeed fulfilled. Not long after, he was transferred back to China and held another high-level position, and his military rank was promoted to major general. Of course, this is a story for later. As for whether Tang Qiuli's contribution was included in this, we can't say.  I know, but Hoffman himself definitely believes that it must be related to the Chinese General Tang!

    At around eight o'clock in the morning on June 1st, in the Office of the President of the White House in Washington, the United States, while Tang Qiuli was still flying in the sky, the second military meeting urgently convened by US President Franklin Roosevelt was reaching a critical juncture.

    At 2:50 a.m. yesterday, 20 minutes after the Pacific War broke out, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Operations Room received the first emergency telegram from General MacArthur, commander of the U.S. Southeast Asia and South Pacific Headquarters.

    The telegram was so short that it was as precious as gold. It was very different from the style of the commander who was accustomed to long speeches. "Urgent notification, Joint Chiefs of Staff, forwarded to the President, at 2:30 in the morning on May 31st."  At the same time, the Japanese army suddenly launched a sudden attack on all defense areas of our army. By the time the telegram was sent, the fierce fighting was still going on. We hope that the country will come up with countermeasures as soon as possible! "

    There is no beginning or end, how many troops the Japanese army has, where are the main directions of attack, what are the current losses of the US military, how many key points have the Japanese army occupied, what countermeasures has MacArthur himself taken, etc. None of them are reported to the country.  A piece of news that was as bad as a bolt from the blue.

    At three o'clock sharp, President Roosevelt, who had fallen asleep, received a call from General Chestney, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, "Mr. President, there is very bad news. At 2:30 this morning, the Japanese sent a message to  Our troops in the South Pacific launched a full-scale attack!"

    It was like a bolt from the blue, and like a blow from the head. Holding the phone, Roosevelt's mind went blank for a moment. Venus was flying around in front of his eyes. He couldn't believe it. How could this be possible?

    The Japanese would suddenly attack the American troops without any warning in advance. There was neither a declaration of war nor constant friction. The war just broke out suddenly. "Mr. President! Mr. President!" On the other end of the phone, Chestney said.  The general, not hearing a reply from the president, shouted urgently.

    ? ?Sifu had a cold war, but the Japanese hit him head-on, disrupting his position. Hearing General Chestney's call, he hurriedly said: "Chesney, please go down and call an emergency military meeting immediately."  Meeting!"
