my bright sword career

Chapter 640 Duel?
"I don't know about that." The staff officer shrugged his shoulders: "But according to my opinion, that person should have just come from China."

"Oh...look at me." Hearing this, John suddenly remembered something, patted himself on the head and said with some annoyance, "Damn it, General Spruance informed me yesterday that the senior officer of the Liantai militia The general will arrive at Henderson Field today.

I was asked to meet him at the airport in person, but I was so busy that I forgot about it. If General Spruance finds out, it's time to blame me. "

The chief of staff said: "It's just right, now that he's here by himself, it saves us the trouble of looking for him, doesn't it?"

John laughed: "You're right, since he's already here, we don't have to meet him."

The two chatted relaxedly, and didn't seem to take this matter very seriously, until two people in German military uniforms walked in.

"Your Excellency, General Gao of Huaxia is here." Soon, John's orderly ran in to report.

Seeing the two soldiers coming in from the door, John finally stood up and greeted them, and extended his right hand to Gao Hongming who was walking in the front.

"Hi...you must be Chi's superior, that is, General Gao Hongming, the head of the Liantai militia, right? I am John Marston, commander of the 2nd Marine Division of the United States of America. General Spruance has informed me yesterday. Say you will be here today.

But I'm too busy here, I can't go to the airport to meet you, I'm really sorry. "

After finishing speaking, John looked at the staff officer beside him and motioned him to translate.

Gao Hongming looked at John who said he was sorry but didn't care. Although he sneered in his heart, he didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face.

He didn't wait for the U.S. military staff officer on the opposite side to translate, and after holding John's extended right hand, he said in fluent American English: "General John, we are all soldiers, and we don't like red tape, so you don't need to apologize for your faux pas." Sorry, I don't care about that."

Facing Gao Hongming's fluent English, John was stunned for a moment, and then his face became a little ugly.

Gao Hongming said he didn't care about what he said on the surface, but pointed out his impoliteness straight to the point, which was tantamount to pointing at his nose and calling him impolite and ignorant of dignity.

You can't even care about refusing to carry out the orders of your superiors. To say you are rude is an understatement. If you really want to be serious, you can be held accountable.

No one expected that Gao Hongming would accuse a US military general of being rude and not even giving him any face in the first sentence when the two sides met for the first time.

John has been in the army for more than [-] years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a situation, and he was a little stunned for a while.

It took him a while to realize, the displeasure flashed across his face, but then he returned to normal, "General Gao is right, I did not do a good job in this matter, your accusation is correct .”

Gao Hongming smiled slightly: "General John is serious, I don't mean that I am not qualified to criticize you.

The reason why I traveled thousands of miles from Huaxia to Guadalcanal this time was that apart from inspecting the situation of the troops, the most important thing was to know their situation in Guadalcanal.

The reason why I took the liberty to come here this time is because I want to consult and confirm some things in person. "

"Consult and confirm?"

John's expression froze slightly. These two words can only be said to be common in daily life, but they are not good words on this occasion?
John, who knew it well, pretended to be surprised: "Oh... Could it be that something major happened to your army that required you to come here from China all the way?"

"This is not."

Seeing that this guy was still pretending, Gao Hongming stopped pretending and said bluntly: "General John, I received a report from my subordinate as soon as I got off the plane.

You asked my troops to launch an attack on Mount Tululu tomorrow, is that true? "

"Yes, there is such a thing."

Seeing Gao Hongming clarify the matter so straightforwardly, John was also quite surprised.

In his impression, Chinese people are more reserved no matter what they say or do. No matter how dissatisfied they are in their hearts, they will not express it directly. This is the first time he has seen a Chinese person like Gao Hongming who makes things clear as soon as he enters the door.

But this also made him feel offended, so he suppressed the smile on his face and said seriously.

"Yes, this is my order, is there any question?"

"Of course there is."

Since he was here to ask questions, Gao Hongming would naturally not be polite, "General John, according to the agreement I signed with your government, we are here to cooperate with your country to fight together.

When it is necessary for our troops to cooperate in operations, it is necessary to discuss with our commanders before proceeding.But you issued the combat order in the name of the 2nd Marine Division. Are you planning to overturn the agreement between me and your government? "

Good guy... Really good guy.

John never thought that Gao Hongming put such a big hat on himself as soon as he came up.

Even if he eats the guts of a leopard, he dare not overthrow the agreement of the US government.

But then again, why did he dare to directly give orders to the Liantai militia dispatching team in the name of the 2nd Marine Division?

This is the same as later generations. Although all companies will swear that they will not force employees to work overtime, the bosses of the company always have a way to make employees "voluntarily" work overtime.

The current situation is the same. Although the dispatch corps has an agreement with the US government, who made the dispatch corps rely on the Americans for all its logistics supplies.

If you receive American military pay, eat American food, and enjoy American supplies, you have to submit to others, which is why John made this order.

It's just that John never expected that on the eve of the attack, Gao Hongming just arrived from Huaxia by such a coincidence, and he didn't give him any face as a teacher. A hat on his head confuses him at once.

But John was not a good person, his face sank.

"Commander Gao, I have to remind you. Although you have such an agreement with the U.S. government, the agreement is just an agreement. Anything can happen on the battlefield, and we can't negotiate everything, otherwise How can there be efficiency at all, don’t you think so?”

Good guy, this guy doesn't intend to be reasonable, so he's going to be tough?
Gao Hongming was almost annoyed, he nodded: "I admit that what you said makes sense, but the problem now is that since you ordered my troops to attack Mount Tululu, you didn't even have the most basic air support and artillery support. None.

Are you going to let my soldiers carry dozens of kilograms of equipment and attack Mount Tululu under the fire of Japanese artillery? "

"support?"

John looked astonished, "Didn't you bring two artillery battalions and two squadrons of fighter jets yourself? Why do you need our support?"

Good guy, it turns out that this guy came up with this idea, Gao Hongming just felt an unknown fire rushing straight to his forehead, "What about the supplies, the ammunition we need, the logistical medical supplies, you did it again as a commander What?
Or do you just pray to God for your wishes?
If this is the case, I advise you to retire as soon as possible, perhaps the profession of priest is more suitable for you! "

Humiliation... blatant humiliation.

Major General John was so angry that his whole body began to tremble, he pointed at Gao Hongming and was speechless for a while.

He swears that in his 42 years of life, he has never suffered such a greater humiliation, and these words are still spoken from a yellow man whom he has never looked down upon.

He put his hand on the holster around his waist, stared at Gao Hongming with red eyes and said every word: "Do you know what you are talking about? You are insulting a great general of the United States of America! I You can be arrested or even shot for this!"

Seeing this, Chi Yaohui, who accompanied Gao Hongming, hurried forward to stand between John and Gao Hongming, but was pushed away by Gao Hongming before he could speak.

"Arrest... shoot me?"

Gao Hongming took a step forward, and said coldly when he was only a fist away from John: "Unfortunately, I don't believe it, because I can blow your head off before you pull out the gun.

Of course, if you want to verify this, we can have a duel like a cowboy! "

"Damn it... something serious happened!"

All the staff officers of the 2nd US Marine Division who saw this scene were taken aback.

"Damn..."

Seeing this, a colonel quickly picked up the phone, "Hi, hey... This is Louis, the combat staff officer of the 2nd Marine Division. Please connect me to the headquarters of the Fifth Fleet... Hurry up... something big has happened!"

The other staff officers also hurried forward to separate the two.

We are allies, why did such a big incident happen as soon as we met?
What place do you think this is? This is Guadalcanal Island, not Texas, and you are not those red necks. If you really want to duel, I suggest you do it after you retire, understand? "

In the office of the 2nd Marine Division, a majestic lieutenant general was furious at Gao Hongming and John!
