my bright sword career

Chapter 679

Regardless of whether it was in the previous life or in this life, although Gao Hongming is not unfamiliar with the name Stilwell, it was the first time he saw a real person today, but he couldn't figure it out anyway. A dismounted.

I hope you can calm down and adapt for a while before trying to command the troops. This is also a veteran's advice to you.

God damn advice from a veteran, you deserve to call yourself a veteran.

Gao Hongming was almost annoyed, he had such a temper, he could get used to this old man, so he immediately turned back.

"General Stilwell, if I remember correctly, you only served as the commander of the 2rd Brigade of the 3nd Infantry Division of your country's Army three years ago, and only last year as the commander of the Third Army.

Before that, you have been serving as a civilian in the army of your country. That is to say, although you graduated from West Point Military Academy, you have never commanded an army to fight a battle in your nearly 40 years of military career.

With all due respect, from this point of view, I am afraid that a battalion commander or even a company commander randomly selected from my subordinates will have more combat experience than you.

As for what you said, fighting abroad is very different from fighting at home. Whether it is the combat environment, supplies, or the difficulty of fighting, it is not comparable to that in China. I do not agree with such accusations.

You know, just a week ago, I just came back from Guadalcanal.

There, I fought side by side with Vice Admiral Spruance of your country, Major General John and Major General Julian, the two commanders of the [-]nd Marine Division.

I think they should have a say in the evaluation of my combat ability, instead of accusing me at the first meeting like you, what do you think? "

Deathly silence.

The eyes of all the generals of the national army looked at Gao Hongming changed a little. They all heard that Gao Hongming from Shanxi was not only capable but also had a big temper, and now they finally saw it.

This one really can't take a bit of a loss. Stilwell just said a few words in a sly way, and this one immediately turned back. He really didn't want to take a bit of a loss.

Stilwell didn't expect Gao Hongming's reaction to be so intense, and he couldn't react for a while.

In his impression, facing him who holds the power to distribute aid materials to China, not to mention the generals of China, even their leader and chairman have to give him three points of face. How can the head of the militia from this place? dare?
He wanted to reprimand him, but he was surprised to find that he had no reason to reprimand him, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

It was still Doolittle who was kind and could not bear to see Stilwell fail to step down, so he stood up and said haha, "General Gao, I think you may have misunderstood. General Stilwell, as the chief of staff of the China Theater, theoretically Said he was the chief of us all.

Besides, the reason why he said this just now is that he is worried that you are new here and don't know much about the situation in Myanmar, so I hope you can take a good look at it for a few days before commanding the troops to start operations. There is no other meaning. I hope you can understand. "

Gao Hongming turned his head and looked at Dolittle, with a strange expression on his face, "Jimmy, I never realized that you are so understanding."

Doolittle just smiled slightly, and didn't speak any more.

He has been dealing with Gao Hongming for almost half a year, and he knows that his temporary boss is a donkey. As long as you don't deliberately confront him, it is generally easier to deal with him.

The reason why he got angry just now was purely because Stilwell touched his reverse scale.

No matter which dynasty the military power belongs to, it is the lifeblood of a general. 】

As soon as Gao Hongming got off the plane, Stilwell put on a posture of seizing power, so it's no wonder he would explode on the spot.

"Well, since you have said so, Jimmy, let's forget about it, but I hope this is the first time and also the last time."

Gao Hongming said sternly: "The military power of a country is an important part of national sovereignty, if you hand over the command of the army to others at will, it is undoubtedly a manifestation of the lack of sovereignty.

So I don't want to hear any more words about someone trying to take command of our military. "

Although Gao Hongming looked at Dolittle when he said this, everyone knew who he was really speaking to.

Stilwell's heart was like a mirror, with an expression of shame and resentment on his face, he took a deep breath, raised his head and said: "General Gao, I admit that your words are somewhat reasonable, but I still insist on my View.

Since your country has joined the Allied Powers and accepted aid from the United States, there is no need to insist on some things.

As long as it is to fight fascism, some temporary concessions can also be considered.Of course, I will also truthfully report today's events to the Chinese government.

After all, this matter is too important, I still hope to let higher-level people make the decision, what do you think? "

Gao Hongming didn't speak, but stared at him for a long time, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Okay, then let the highest levels of our two countries decide the ownership of the military command.

But before that, you'd better not try to change the command mode of the expeditionary force, otherwise if you cause turmoil in the expeditionary force, it will be hard to say, what do you think? "

Stilwell also looked at him for a while, then nodded: "As you wish."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

Seeing Gao Hongming's posture against Stilwell, the generals of the expeditionary army beside him also had different thoughts.

There are praises, surprises, disdain and worry, all kinds of things.

Luo Zhuoying came over and patted Gao Hongming on the shoulder: "Brother Gao, let's go back to the headquarters first, and we'll talk about it later if we have anything to say."

That night, Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming entertained Gao Hongming, who had come all the way, at the headquarters.

The meals are typical Burmese dishes, tea salad, rice noodles in fish soup and a plate of spring rolls.

How to say this taste, anyway, Gao Hongming eats it with relish, and Luo Zhuoying who is on the side eats it and introduces: "This tea salad is a special snack in Myanmar. It is a combination of sour and bitter leaves with shredded cabbage and tomato slices , nut peas and chilli and garlic flakes are hand blended.

It tastes hot and sour, very appetizing, Brother Gao might as well have another serving. "

"Never mind."

Gao Hongming waved his hand, "If you eat too much of this thing, it tastes bad in your mouth. If you really want to eat too much, my wife should blame me."

Luo Zhuoying laughed: "Oh... I forgot, Brother Gao brought his siblings along with him this time."

Du Yuming also changed his usual seriousness, jokingly said: "Brother Gao, this is also a man who does not change his romantic nature."

"Sir, stop making fun of me."

Gao Hongming said helplessly: "You two know that my wife and I have only been married for about two years. During these two years, I was either leading training troops or leading soldiers to fight.

Some time ago, I just came back from Guadalcanal Island. The daughters-in-law of the family were afraid that I would not be able to bear it, so they sent someone out to take care of my diet and daily life. "
