my bright sword career

Chapter 381 Don't Care
"Not in your charge?"

As a university professor and an aide to the President of the United States, Harry's self-cultivation and city management are naturally not bad, but he was almost irritated.

Planes that are not under your control can land at your airport like dumplings?Can you please find a better excuse.

But fortunately, in his capacity, he would not be able to rant on the spot, but the McLaren on the side was different. Most of the soldiers had a straighter temper, which was the same all over the world.

He said bluntly on the spot: "General He, this joke of yours is not funny at all. As the general and military minister of the National Revolutionary Army, you represent the image of the Chinese government in every word and deed. Are you just talking nonsense like this? Are you talking nonsense? Knowing that standing in front of you at the moment is the special envoy of the President of the United States of America and the ambassador to China, may I think that you are despising our great United States of America."

"Uh……"

He Yingqin's expression became a little stiff at once. He couldn't remember how long it had been since no one dared to let him down in public, and he was a little dazed for a while.

However, his silence does not mean that no one has said anything. Sun Lianzhong, who was born in the Northwest Army, has always had a tough temperament. When he saw a small colonel, he dared to reprimand He Yingqin face to face. Let me be clear, the person standing in front of you is a second-level general appointed by the national government, not a captain of your American army, and you have no right... let alone shout at him."

Sun Lianzhong is not a good-tempered master. During the Battle of Taierzhuang, the 31st Division suffered heavy casualties due to continuous battles. Tens of thousands of troops were beaten to less than 2000 people. Chi Fengcheng, who has always been famous for his bravery, told the time on the phone Sun Lianzhong, who served as the commander of the Second Army, asked the troops to retreat and repair, and even said in tears, "Please show mercy, sir, and let the 31st Division keep some seeds."

But in the face of the pleadings of his old subordinates, Sun Lianzhong insisted unmoved and shouted: "All the soldiers, the officers will fill in, and everyone will fill it in, so I will fill it in!" You can see his tough temper.

"What..."

McLaren also stepped into the footsteps of He Yingqin, and did not react for a while.

Since coming to China, as the dignified military attache of the United States in China, McLaren has been greeted with flattering eyes and sycophant no matter where he goes. Even the chairman of Chongqing has to give him three points of face.

Now a mere army commander dared to reprimand him in front of everyone. After a few seconds of sluggishness, his face gradually turned red, and he was about to start cursing immediately when he felt offended.

But before he could speak, Harry stopped him by yelling, "Colonel McLaren, your Excellency the general is right, the person standing in front of you is the second-level general of the Republic of China, you should He maintains the minimum respect, and he is not qualified to shout at him. What you have to do now is to apologize to Your Excellency the General immediately!"

"what?"

McLaren looked at Harry incredulously, the expression on his face seemed to ask, do you know what you are talking about?

"Professor Harry is right, you really should apologize to General He." Just when McLaren couldn't believe it, Gao Si, the ambassador to China, also said, "Colonel McLaren, if you insist on not If I apologize, I will have to send a report to Washington, recommending that you be transferred back to the country and replaced by a qualified military attache."

Looking at the serious Gao Si and the determined Harry, McLaren immediately calmed down as if a scoop of cold water had been poured on his head, and only then did he realize that he had indeed committed a big taboo.

No matter how weak China's national power is, or how poor its military is, the country's land area and total population are there.

The land of 960 million square kilometers means that the country has a vast strategic depth, and the total population of 4.5 million also means that it has an almost endless source of soldiers. What the United States has to do now is to win over and support this country to cope with the increasingly aggressive Japan and the increasingly rampant corruption of Germany, rather than pushing the country to the opposite of the United States.

Moreover, his attitude towards He Yingqin just now also violated international respect. How dare a small colonel like himself speak ill of a general, which is a taboo in the highly hierarchical army.

You can swear at a foreign general today, but can you swear at an American general tomorrow?

Once this reputation is spread back to the country, although the U.S. government will not punish him for it, people in the military will definitely "see him differently", and his promotion path will become extremely difficult at that time.

Thinking of this, McLaren couldn't help but sweated all over his back. He lowered his head and stood obediently behind Ambassador Gao Si without speaking.

Harry squinted at McLaren, and shook his head inwardly. This idiot didn't know whose background he was able to become a military attache in China. It seems that he will propose to the President to clean up the unscrupulous government in the United States after he returns. Qualified officials too.

Since Harry and McLaren spoke English and spoke very fast, He Yingqin and the others couldn't understand what they were talking about at all, and they couldn't help looking at an interpreter who was acting as an interpreter.

The interpreter whispered: "Several officers, these people speak too fast, and there are a lot of slang in their words, I can't understand them well."

At this moment, the door of the transport plane that had stopped first opened, and the soldiers who had been waiting on the tarmac also got into the cabin. The wounded who have the ability, these wounded were loaded onto the truck and transported away after they got off.

Harry and his party did not continue talking, but watched the scene silently, until Gao Si suddenly asked after the boarder on the last transport plane was taken away: "Colonel McLaren, how many wounded did these Chinese people come down just now?" Did you see clearly?"

McLaren replied without hesitation: "231 seriously injured, 653 other injured, a total of 884 people."

Harry looked at McLaren in surprise. This guy is not completely stupid, at least he is good at mathematics.

He walked up to He Yingqin and pointed to the truck that had just gone not far away and asked, "General He, are these wounded soldiers transported from Zhongtiao Mountain?"

"Yes."

He Yingqin admitted honestly, "The battle in Tiaoshan has become more and more fierce these days. Our army is fighting fiercely with the Japanese army. The casualties are very heavy. There is a serious shortage of weapons and materials. We urgently need the assistance of the international community. I hope that the United States can lend a helping hand. Hand, help us through this difficult time."

"is it?"

Harry showed a half-smile expression, "But as far as I know, your government doesn't seem to care much about the Zhongtiaoshan battlefield?"
