my bright sword career

Chapter 573 Your Authority Is Not Enough
Gao Si was stunned by Gao Hongming's request.

What kind of operation is this? This guy wants to sign a garrison agreement with the U.S. government with no money or supplies, and he has already considered the issue of garrisoning troops after the war. Is this kind of thing you, a small regiment leader, should consider?

He, who has always been shrewd and capable, couldn't think of how to answer Gao Hongming's words for a while, and finally could only helplessly spread his hands, "That...General Gao, your request is beyond the scope of my authority, I have no choice but to right to answer your question."

"Then let those who have the right to answer." Gao Hongming said unceremoniously, "There has never been a free lunch in this world. If you want us to bleed for you, you have to pay the corresponding price. This simple truth I I don't think you don't understand, do you?"

Unlike some Chinese people who lack self-confidence in this era and are unconsciously short when they meet foreigners, in the era when Gao Hongming grew up, China had already developed into the second largest economy in the world.

In the eyes of young people in this era, there is only one country in the world worthy of China's challenge, and that is the United States, which has dominated the world for a century.

It is also because of this that Gao Hongming is neither humble nor overbearing and full of confidence when facing Gao Si or Roosevelt Professor Hawkins.

Seeing Gao Hongming being so rude, Gao Si felt angry and helpless.

Thinking that he is a dignified American ambassador to China, he is not the guest of the other party wherever he goes, but he did not expect to run into a wall with a small militia leader.

Looking at Gao Si's uncertain face, Gao Hongming reminded: "Mr. Ambassador, I think this matter is too important. Although you are the ambassador to China, you should not have this authority, so what you have to do now It is to contact Washington as soon as possible, and then report my request to President Roosevelt, knowing that for every day you delay, hundreds of American soldiers will die on Guadalcanal."

"Damn!"

He knew that the guy in front of him was threatening him, but Gao Si couldn't do anything about it. Who would let him ask for others?

He stood up. "Okay, I'll send a telegram to Washington right away, please give me a day or two."

"Of course." Gao Hongming nodded, "It's just that I hope you can do it as soon as possible. You must know that a big battle is about to start soon, and I will be very busy then." Emphasized the tone.

December 1942, 8

Just two days ago, Yan Xishan, as the commander-in-chief of the World War II area, officially sent a telegram to the people of the whole country, announcing the official start of the plan to recover Taiyuan. Division, three artillery battalions and the 42th Division of the Eighth Route Army formally launched an attack on Jinzhong.

Outside Yuci Old Town, south of Yejin Middle Town

Dazzling flares streaked across the night sky, the sound of guns was deafening, and the air was filled with acrid gunpowder smoke. In the rice fields plowed by the gunfire, a muddy figure crawled forward cautiously.

It is only more than 200 meters away from the road. There are tanks and trucks passing by on the road from time to time, and there are occasional voices.

Sergeant Xiao Shan Changxing carefully crawled southward, although this approach was tantamount to suicide in the eyes of others, because the south was the area controlled by the Huaxia Army.

He moved forward bravely without making a sound, and there were constant stray bullets whizzing by his ears, but he turned a deaf ear to them.Finally, he crawled to the side of a crater and rolled into it.He held his breath vigilantly and waited for a moment, then shouted: "Jiro... Koyama Jiro!"

No response.The moon is looming in the clouds.In the distance, the artillery of the Huaxia people still roared non-stop, and Masahiro Koyama continued to search unremittingly.

A soft groan suddenly came from the rice field, and Koyama Masashi immediately heard the sound. He paused vigilantly, and then eagerly asked, "Jiro? Is that you?"

As he asked the question, he quickly crawled out of the crater and crawled towards the direction of the sound.

The sound came from a young Japanese infantryman, who was dying from machine gun bullets in his legs and abdomen.

Sergeant Masako Koyama couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, this wasn't the person he was looking for, but he still suppressed his disappointment, "Okay, brave warrior of the empire, don't make a sound, I'm here to take you home."

Under the moonlight, the young soldier's face was pale, "My injury is too serious, sir."

The severe pain and fear made the young soldier cry out. He thought he was going to die alone in a foreign country. When he suddenly saw a non-commissioned officer, the excitement in his heart was unavoidable.

"Injured? It's no big deal. Young warrior, you can return to the hospital in the rear soon. The doctor will bandage the wound for you soon. You can take the ship back to the mainland in a few days. How about it?"

"Sir, can you really go home?" The young soldier's eyes showed a burning light.

"Of course." Koyama Masashi nodded, then took out the military water bottle on his waist, unscrewed the lid and handed it to his mouth, "Come... have some water."

The young soldier who was seriously injured was already thirsty, so he drank a few gulps, and the warm water flowed into his stomach and intestines through his throat, making him feel much more comfortable.

At this time, he was even more grateful to Masako Koyama. At this time, he heard the sergeant next to him seem to ask casually: "Hey, are you from the second squadron? Does your squadron have a second-class soldier named Jiro Koyama, who is now Where?"

"Jiro Koyama, of course I know."

At this time, the young soldier who had already been grateful to him replied without hesitation: "He and I are in the same team. We were assigned to the same position today, but we were scattered by the Chinese people just now. Koyama Jiro and a few people It seems to have gone to the east, and I don’t know what’s going on now?”

"Yoshi...thank you so much."

Masayuki Koyama thanked him softly, and then suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the soldier's neck. The young soldier tilted his head and died immediately, with an inconceivable look in his eyes before he died.

"I'm really sorry, I really don't have the ability to take you back. The only thing I can do is to bring your relics to your family." Masayuki Koyama's eyes flashed with pain, and then he lowered his body and searched the soldiers. .

After a while, he found the soldier's soldier's ID card and personal belongings from the soldier. After taking everything away, Masaaki Koyama lay down on the ground again and crawled towards the east.
