mixed in the war

If MacArthur knew the phrase "curiosity can kill a cat" and had a deep understanding of its meaning, he would definitely not have risked his life to open the letters of invitation brought by Qin Wei.In fact, these so-called invitations to war were just written by Qin Wei when he went to Zhang Fakui's headquarters and found a few staff members to write them casually. It may be that a certain staff member is a little busy or a little impatient, so he just dealt with business and wrote casually. I wrote eight characters.As a result, it was these eight words that severely "destroyed" the self-esteem of Douglas MacArthur, the general of the United States Army and the future five-star general.

The failure in the Philippines, although MacArthur didn't care about it on the surface, has always declared that it was not his problem.The reason for such a result is that the strength of the Japanese army is too large, and the US military has insufficient logistics, and the Philippine army is lagging behind.But in fact, that was the eternal pain in his heart.

No matter what the reason is, a defeat is a defeat.As a general, and a general with high self-esteem and a long-standing reputation, this defeat is simply a shame for him.

But the staff officer who didn't know who it was actually directly uncovered MacArthur's scars.

And from this, we can also see how powerful the broad and profound language of Chinese is... MacArthur could stand still under the long-winded denunciation, but he couldn't bear the "insult" brought by these eight Chinese characters.

Qin Wei also felt a little hard to understand.But since MacArthur agreed to carry out confrontation exercises, he had achieved his goal, and he didn't bother to look at MacArthur's black face any more, so he left quickly.Then he returned to the Fourth Theater Command and informed Zhang Fakui of the plan.

……

"How big are you going to make this exercise?"

Zhang Fakui didn't ask Qin Wei's purpose.He knew that the kid in front of him had a much higher status in the center than him, and he belonged to the kind that could directly enter the center.It's just because he is from the air force and he is not good at commanding specific battles that he is inferior to himself.But he is a person who can directly reach the sky, since he decided to conduct such an exercise.Of course he has to cooperate well.

"Come with a regiment first." Qin Wei pondered, "Lead the enemy into the trap step by step from small to large. But we must win this first battle, and it is best to win with a big score."

"It's not easy." Zhang Fakui said, "I have seen those American soldiers. Although they are not very energetic, they are not inferior to our elites in other aspects, and even slightly stronger. Consider the equipment factor. I am afraid that there are not many troops in our fourth war zone who dare to say that they can win against them, let alone a big victory."

"I don't care, it's victory anyway. And you can't cheat." Qin Wei shouted.

"Aren't you embarrassing others?" Xu Tingyao was familiar with Qin Wei, and he spoke more casually.Immediately expressed dissatisfaction: "Although the exercise is not a war, it is similar. Who dares to say that he will win in this kind of thing? And you want to win a big victory. This, this is simply impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. My purpose is not just to fight against the Americans. I want to push them into a hurry and force MacArthur to want to 'revenge blood hatred'. Force him to put pressure on the US government. In this way Come on, maybe we can get more benefits." Qin Wei said in a deep voice, "So, we must win, and we must win a big victory. We can't just win one or two games. First, the regiment level, then the division level. In other words, we must win at least two times."

"You are trying to drive everyone to death." Xu Tingyao wondered, "A big victory is not enough, we have to fight again? You... this MacArthur is not a fuel-efficient lamp. As a famous general, there are naturally famous generals." Means. He has already lost once. How could he lose twice in a row?"

"Anyway, I don't care. Find someone for me. If it doesn't work, just find me the best fighters in our theater." Qin Wei slapped the table, "I won the regimental confrontation. In addition to rewards, I will give you back They upgraded their equipment for the whole regiment, and all the officers were given a higher rank; if the division level was won, I suggested to the Military Commission that it be expanded into an army, and all of them were changed according to the requirements of the US military..."

"No need?" Both Zhang Fakui and Xu Tingyao couldn't help gasping.Qin Wei's reward is not ordinary.That's all for the regiment level, and the division level is expanded into an army, and all of them are dressed according to the requirements of the Americans. This is equivalent to stepping into the ranks of top military generals in one step.If it is an ordinary army, it is more equivalent to becoming the trump card of the army in one leap.It would be no wonder if the generals of the various ministries could resist this kind of temptation, not even the military-level generals of the ace troops.Of course, if it was someone else, they would doubt whether Qin Wei's promise would be fulfilled, but they would not.Even in their hearts, what Qin Wei said was more credible than what Lao Jiang said.

"Brother, you are going to turn our fourth war zone upside down." Zhang Fakui couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I dare say, if your words get out, it will definitely cause turmoil in the entire war zone, and I'm afraid other war zones will have to send People come over..."

"That's even better. I still don't believe it. There are not a few people in China who can ravage MacArthur." Qin Wei laughed.

"You can't patronize any drills. Takashi Sakai in Guangzhou is not a good guy. If he thinks this is an opportunity and takes advantage of the situation to launch an attack, what should he do?" Xu Tingyao reminded.

"Then teach him a lesson first, so that he doesn't have any wrong thoughts." Qin Wei said lightly, as if he didn't take Takashi Sakai seriously at all.

"I think it's better to tell Chongqing about this matter." Xu Tingyao said again.

"Let's not talk about it now, we'll talk about it after we win the first battle." Qin Wei looked up at the two of them, "Have you thought about it? Who is more suitable for this first battle?"

"Since you brought it up, you should mention it first," Zhang Fakui said.

"How about the 58th Division? Zhang Lingfu fought bravely, and his division has been holding back all the energy to compete with the Americans, to teach them an unforgettable lesson, and the soldiers will be motivated." Qin Wei asked.His inspiration came from the 58th division, so he naturally wanted to repay it.And Zhang Lingfu, as one of the most famous fighters in the army, he is also very confident.But he didn't expect that after he proposed this candidate, both Zhang Fakui and Xu Tingyao shook their heads at the same time.

"No. Although Zhang Lingfu fought bravely, this is a drill after all, not a desperate effort. No matter how brave he is, he can't use it on the Americans... So, the 58th Division can't!"

"Then whose army are you going to use?" Qin Wei was slightly disappointed.But think about what the two of them said.It is true that Zhang Lingfu does not want his life in battle, but this man can fight tough battles, but he is not good at fighting skillful ones.It's okay to work hard, but the exercise is a bit suspended.And as the ace of the army, if Zhang Lingfu loses, he will lose the face of the entire squadron.

"This battle is nominally a regiment-level confrontation, but I guess MacArthur might end up personally, or at least help formulate the battle plan." Zhang Fakui mused, "So we must go all out. But in this way, It’s really hard to decide on this candidate.”

"Then what do you think of Du Yuming?"

"Du Yuming?"

**************************************

"What do you think?"

Although the exercise with the U.S. military was only a small regiment-level confrontation, it still shocked Lao Jiang and others who were far away in Chongqing.All of a sudden, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Bai Chongxi, who hadn't shown up for a long time, and Zhang Zhizhong, who had just returned from the Shanxi Army Supervisor, all gathered in Lao Jiang's office.

"Since it was created by Qin Wei, it must not be just for some exercise. What crooked idea did this kid come up with?" Bai Chongxi has been patrolling the Ninth War Zone recently.They don't want to fight now, and they know that the Japanese have similar thoughts, but they always have to take precautions.As the most important line of defense outside Chongqing, the ninth war zone is naturally the most important.Unexpectedly, when I returned to Chongqing, I heard such a "big event".

"I couldn't figure it out for a while, and Zhang Xianghua and Xu Yuexiang didn't seem to figure it out in the fourth theater either. But it shouldn't be a bad thing. It's just that Qin Wei asked us to win the first two confrontations... ...This is a bit troublesome." He Yingqin said on the side.

"I heard that he has set a lot of rewards. Especially in the division-level confrontation, if we win, he actually promised to expand it into an army, and all of them will be changed according to the organization and requirements of the US military... Now the divisions in the fourth theater, Even those who stay on the front line are not safe anymore." Chen Cheng's tone was slightly dissatisfied.

"Good boy, he really dares to speak." Bai Chongxi gritted his teeth, "But it can be confirmed that this kid is playing a big game of chess. I even suspect that this kid's so-called American equipment may not need him If you pay for it yourself, you may not know who you will blackmail.”

"Since the exercise has been decided, I don't care about anything else, and I have the same request as Qin Wei: no loss!" Lao Jiang said with a gloomy face, "If you lose, the whole regiment will be disbanded, and all officers will be demoted to soldiers. "

"The committee member is right." Chen Cheng said solemnly, "Now we are negotiating with the United Kingdom and the United States at a critical juncture. The Philippines rescued the US troops earlier, which was a big deal for the Americans, so that they dare not ignore us. But even so, Britain and the United States are still unwilling to cooperate according to our requirements, but they dare not force us. But if this exercise fails, all previous efforts will be lost. Britain and the United States will inevitably end in * *The reason for the failure of combat power is to seize our initiative in cooperation."

"I'm going to Guilin to meet that MacArthur." Bai Chongxi brushed off his military cap, "I'd like to see whether his American general is the best, or I, the Chinese general, are more ruthless!" To be continued..)
