    "Okay Yuhe!" Tang Qiuli stopped the dancing chief of staff with a smile and said: "The next order may make officers and soldiers at all levels unhappy!"

    "Huh?" Zhao Yuhe was stunned for a moment, looking at the division commander in confusion, waiting for him to give the order, while muttering in his mind, "What order makes the officers and soldiers unhappy?"

    Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "In the name of the division commander, I am giving orders to the participating troops and commanders at all levels. The Australian campaign has ended. The current tasks of each unit are to capture Japanese prisoners, prevent them from starving to death, and return to normal."  Physical strength is the main thing!¡±

    ¡°In terms of the principle of treating Japanese prisoners of war, the division commander particularly emphasized that all ministries must not massacre Japanese prisoners of war and provide them with adequate food. Especially those Japanese prisoners of war who hold propaganda leaflets should enjoy the treatment of prisoners of war!  "

    "If during the execution of the order of the division commander, that unit, that commander, violates the order and massacres Japanese prisoners of war, the division commander's military law office will take the most severe punishment measures. If the nature and circumstances are serious, he will be shot on the spot!  "

    While Zhao Yuhe was recording the division commander's orders, he thought to himself that he knew what the division commander meant. These Japanese prisoners of war were the laborers that the division commander had been thinking about for a long time and were going to be shipped to Siberia. However, it was not appropriate to treat them so kindly, right?  In the past, secretly the old rules were all to be killed!

    Although Zhao Yuhe had objections but did not raise them, Tang Qiuli keenly observed the disapproval in Zhao Yuhe's eyes and said in a more serious tone: "Yuhe, when issuing orders, you must particularly emphasize that you must not  The discipline of killing Japanese prisoners of war. ¡Ü Otherwise, I will punish you severely regardless of whether you are a meritorious person or a general officer!"

    "Also, the main ones are the Military Law Office, Operations Office, and Staff Office of the division commander. All personnel from the division's security brigade are mobilized to form an inspection team to be responsible for this work. The inspection team is directly under my command and investigates and punishes those who disobey the orders of the division commander on my behalf.  Officers and Troops!¡±

    Tang Qiuli had to use the strictest orders to control the murderous intentions of the troops. These Japanese prisoners of war were of great use, so kill one more.  It's a loss. What's more, when fighting the Japanese army at home, it is an old tradition of the independent division troops to kill a group of Japanese prisoners of war who committed heinous crimes. But now that we are not fighting at home, these Japanese soldiers have no chance to commit crimes against the Chinese people.  Sent to Siberia to work as laborers.  It¡¯s more cost-effective than killing!

    "What are you doing standing still? Follow up with my order right away!" Tang Qiuli urged Zhao Yuhe with a smile, looking at Zhao Yuhe who was a little confused and still thinking about it.

    "Oh! Commander, I'll go and give the order right away!" Zhao Yuhe reacted.  Left in a hurry.

    After dealing with the Japanese prisoners of war, Tang Qiuli's thoughts turned to the waters of the Solomon Islands.  There, there is a more complicated battle.  He's not too worried, though.  The mere thirty or so Italian warships are not yet in my eyes, but I must consider in advance what Mussolini's reaction will be once he kills this Italian fleet, and what countermeasures he should take?

    The leader of the Italian Nazi Party and Prime Minister Mussolini sent a fleet to the Pacific to reap benefits. It consisted of more than thirty warships. The commander was Lieutenant General Piaget. At this moment, he was standing on the flagship "Rosnode"  In the command cabin, he looked at the scenery of the Pacific Ocean that he had seen for the first time with an arrogant and scornful look.

    Next to Lieutenant General Piaget was a short Japanese man wearing a Japanese navy uniform with the rank of major general. His name was Norigoro Ono. He was a senior staff officer at the Naval Command Department in the Japanese base camp. He had served as  The attach¨¦ of the Japanese Embassy in Italy was proficient in Italian, so he was sent to serve as the liaison officer between the Italian fleet and the base camp.

    Regarding this errand, Major General Ono Nourigoro felt a hundred reluctances. What kind of place is Australia? It was the place where the combined fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy collapsed. Two generals were broken into pieces, the lieutenant general and the rear admiral.  There are more than 40 people. Major General Ono said he was worried whether he would be next.

    Therefore, as soon as the Italian fleet and transport fleet passed the Northern Mariana Islands, Rear Admiral Ono was always worried. When they reached the southern part of the Marshall Sea and were about to enter the Solomon Islands, his nerves became highly nervous.

    Seeing the fleet commander Piaget, who was wearing a straight military uniform and looking like a young man, pointing at the scenery along the way, he couldn't help but remind him: "Commander Piaget"  , the fleet has now entered the waters of the Solomon Islands, and is still a few days away from the Australian mainland! "

    "As a liaison officer, I must remind you that the fleet of the China Independent Division will appear at any time. Please give the order and the fleet will immediately enter a state of combat readiness. Otherwise, once it is attacked by the fleet of the China Independent Division, it will be too late!"

      Lieutenant General Piaget was very contemptuous. He glanced at the nervous little Japanese and said in a gentlemanly and elegant tone: "General Ono, you should know that we are the fleet of the Kingdom of Italy.  Chinese people, dare to attack us? Don¡¯t you think your worries are unnecessary?¡±

    Lieutenant General Piaget really looked down on Major General Ono, and by extension, looked down on all the Japanese. Ever since this guy boarded the flagship, he had been nervously nagging in his ears every day, when to be prepared for Chinese attacks.  I am so annoyed. I think he is scared out of his wits by the Chinese!

    Orientals have such courage. It is doubtful whether the powerful Chinese independent division fleet that Ono calls even exists. The Japanese are all cowards. No wonder they have been defeated repeatedly and have to go all the way to Europe to plead with the Prime Minister.  Your Excellency sends troops.

    Major General Ono was rendered speechless by Lieutenant General Piaget, who was holding a gun and a stick with contemptuous words. He knew how to persuade this young Italian Navy Lieutenant General to obey him.  Advice?

    At this time, an officer came in and reported: "Your Excellency, Commander, four unidentified reconnaissance planes were found conducting reconnaissance around our fleet!"

    Before Lieutenant General Piaget could say anything, Major General Ono shouted anxiously, "That must be the reconnaissance plane of the China Independent Division Fleet, it must be! Order the fleet immediately to enter combat status, quickly!"

    "Calm down!" Lieutenant General Piaget roared and said with extreme contempt: "General Ono, I remind you that I am the commander of the fleet, and you are just a liaison officer and have no right to order what my fleet should do.  Do!"

    After reprimanding Ono, Lieutenant General Piaget said to the officer: "Raise our flag immediately, and at the same time, warn the four reconnaissance planes, I don't care who you are, get out of here immediately, otherwise, I will order  Shoot you down!"

    More than thirty Italian warships raised the national flag. Ten minutes later, the same officer came in and reported: "Commander, according to your order, after the fleet raised the national flag and issued a warning, the four reconnaissance planes  flew away!"

    "Hahaha!" Lieutenant General Piaget laughed, glanced sideways at Major General Ono, and said to the staff: "Tell the kitchen that today's lunch will be richer, and also take out the bottle of brandy that I have collected. I want  Have lunch with General Ono and cheer him up!"

    In the northern waters of the Solomon Islands, the Independent Division fleet was galloping northward in the wind and waves. Fleet Chief of Staff Xin Xiguo came in and said, "Commander, the reconnaissance squadron sent out has returned. Traces of the Italian fleet and the Japanese transport fleet have been found. According to  The reconnaissance aircraft pilot reported that the Italians were not sailing in combat formation! And they issued a warning to our reconnaissance aircraft!"

    "Hahaha!" Tang Qiuquan sneered a few times and said to Deputy Commander Amosiev: "Deputy Commander, how about going to meet the arrogant Italians? Xi Guo, ordered the fleet to speed up and form a battle formation.  Sail towards the Italian fleet! Order the carrier-based aircraft units to prepare for battle!"

    Amosiev shrugged and nodded to show that he was very interested in Tang Qiuquan's proposal. At the same time, he was also mourning for the Italians in his heart. He was from the former Soviet Union and had participated in World War I. Naturally, he knew what Italians were like on the battlefield.  Such a thing dares to get involved in the Australian war between China and Japan at this time, and travels thousands of miles to the Pacific Ocean to act arrogantly. It can only be said that the Italians are ignorant.

    He met another division commander with an extremely tough attitude. "Did Mussolini's head get kicked by a donkey? I'm afraid not only will he lose his troops this time, but he will also make a lot of jokes!" Amosiev thought to himself.  .

    A few hours later, the fleets of both sides met in the middle of the Solomon Islands waters. Through the telescope, Tang Qiuquan saw the Italian flag flying high on the Italian warships. The Japanese transport fleet shrunk and hid among more than thirty warships.  They didn't even dare to hang the sun flag. They sneered and said to Xin Xiguo, the chief of staff: "Xiguo, please pass on, send a signal, and order the warships and troop carriers in front to anchor immediately and wait for us to send people to take over all the ships. Otherwise, we will attack them.  Shen!"

    As soon as he came up, Tang Qiuquan took the toughest stance and treated the Italian fleet and Japanese troopships directly as prisoners. He had no time and was not in the mood to start a lawsuit with these Italians who didn't know whether to live or die. There were only thirty or so ships.  Even warships, not even aircraft carriers, dare to go wild in the Pacific. I really don¡¯t know what the Italians rely on?

    Before Xin Xiguo could finish the order, a communications officer handed over a telegram. After receiving it, Tang Qiuquan immediately sneered. The telegram read, "Warning! This is the Royal Navy Fleet of the Kingdom of Italy, escorting allied transport ships."  The fleet headed to Australia, and the fleet commander, Vice Admiral Piaget, ordered the fleet in front to immediately get out of the way.?Otherwise, you will definitely be hit by our firepower!  "

    Tang Qiuquan handed the telegram from the Italian fleet to Amosiyev. He immediately sweated on his forehead and only had a few words in his head, "What a weirdo who doesn't know whether to live or die!"
