mixed in the war

"How to do?"

No matter what Qin Wei said was good or bad, MacArthur made up his mind that he would never let his subordinates participate in any exercises.This put Qin Wei into a difficult situation immediately. ...It would have been okay if they had won in the previous exercise, but they lost, and they lost badly.MacArthur has a win in his hand, although it is not a big name, but it is like Holyfield who won a higher point in the game against Tyson.If I just hug you and don't fight you head-on, I'll win, what can you do?Bite my ear?Even if you bite my ear, you still lose.

"Didn't you say that this MacArthur is an arrogant man, and he can achieve his goal with a little bit of aggression?"

The problem is a little serious.Bai Chongxi, Zhang Fakui, and Xu Tingyao all arrived, along with Wu Shi, the Chief of Staff of the Fourth War Zone who just arrived.This person and Qin Wei can be regarded as old acquaintances, because when Qin Wei was arguing with He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi in the Ministry of National Defense, Wu Shi was already the chief staff officer of the Ministry of National Defense.This is a capable person. He once went to Japan to study abroad. He studied at the Japanese Artillery School and the Japanese Army University. His graduation grades also ranked first in both schools. Poetry, Ci, calligraphy, painting, English, Japanese, riding, shooting, driving, and swimming.After graduating and returning to China, Wu Shi directly became the director of the General Staff Headquarters, responsible for intelligence work against Japan. Before and after the Battle of Wuhan, Chiang Kai-shek specially summoned Wu Shi once a week for detailed consultation, and deeply praised him.However, compared to these, Qin Wei also knew that after the national government fled to Taiwan, Wu Shi was dissatisfied with Chiang's dictatorship, his heart was single-minded, and his heart was devoted to revolution. He was finally arrested and killed by Chiang because of the betrayal of a traitor.In other words.Although this person is not the same as Guo Rugui, his nature is similar.And with these big men in the war zone, Du Yuming, the person directly responsible for the "defeat" is naturally indispensable.

"I'm asking you, did you hear me?" Seeing that Qin Wei was distracted when he was speaking, Bai Chongxi was very dissatisfied and couldn't help but tapped on the table with his hand.

"Understood." Qin Wei replied impatiently, "Didn't it just fail once? I will beat him again in two days, and I have to force him to agree."

"To be able to sit in the position of general of the army, this MacArthur must not be a brainless person. His performance also just shows this point." Xu Tingyao now also expressed considerable dissatisfaction with Qin Wei's arrangement.It was fine, but you insisted on engaging in military exercises with the Americans.This time it's all right, I lost, and the defeat was so quick and embarrassing... Although it was just a small exercise for regiment-level troops, the influence was extraordinary.

"Do it again. It's hard to know the outcome. If you don't practice again, you will have this victory in your hands. It is equal to the chance of winning. If it were me, I would do the same. Anyway, I have already won, so why do I have to work hard?" Zhang Fakui Also said.

"I'm new here, so I don't really understand the situation, but when I came here, I heard some people in the headquarters say that the U.S. military won this victory. The morale that was low due to the defeat in the Philippines has picked up a lot?" Wu Shi laughed. He glanced at everyone, and finally fixed his eyes on Qin Wei.He knew that the key to this matter was not anyone present, but Qin Wei.

"Indeed." Du Yuming was a little ashamed. "We don't know much about the U.S. forces in other places. But the U.S. forces in North Vietnam are hyping up their victory this time..."

"Guang Ting, which unit of yours is participating in this military exercise?" Wu Shi asked him after glancing at him.

"...The 1rd Regiment of the 3st Division of Honor!" Du Yuming hesitated for a while, and finally replied in a low voice.

"From the 1st Division of Rong?" Wu Shi was obviously a little surprised, "Aren't all Zheng Dongguo's subordinates quite capable of fighting?"

"Don't mention it, I'm going to lose my life." Qin Wei rolled his eyelids and looked at the ceiling, "It's not so much that they were defeated by Yankees, but they were defeated by a poisonous snake and a swarm of poisonous bees Damn, I knew I would be better than them even if I sent two mountain people there."

"..." Du Yuming lowered his head.Although Qin Wei's words were harsh, they were true.

"What's going on?" Wu Shi just arrived. Although he had already inquired about the situation before coming to the meeting, the Americans would not reveal the specifics of the exercise. They would only say that they had won, and Qin Wei and others kept blocking it. According to the information, he didn't know.However, as the chief staff officer of the Ministry of National Defense, he is also very aware of the combat effectiveness of Du Yuming's unit.That's the trump card of **, even if they encounter the strongest army in the world, with the same strength and almost the same equipment, it is impossible to lose so badly and so quickly.Therefore, upon hearing Qin Wei's words, he couldn't help asking why.

"It's unlucky for Zheng Dongguo." Zhang Fakui told the story with a wry smile, "I also paid too much attention to this exercise, so at the beginning, that Zheng Tingji called all the officers of the regiment to hold a combat meeting, not only the chief officer of the regiment, Even the battalion chiefs were there. As a result, the swarm of wild bees took it all in one pot. Now most of them are still in the hospital. A few serious ones have been sent to Guilin, and I went to see them too. Good guy, they are so swollen Almost like a pig's head."

"How could this be?" Wu Shi couldn't help laughing wryly, "I didn't check the environment beforehand, and set up a command post in such a dangerous place... Don't they know how dangerous the wild is? Let alone poisonous snakes and wild bees, Even the mosquitoes in the suburbs outside the city are three times more poisonous than the mosquitoes in the usual home."

"How could they not know? It's just that they missed it and didn't take it to heart." Qin Wei sighed, "But now we are in trouble."

"It's troublesome." Wu Shi sighed again, and looked at Du Yuming, "Guang Ting, before coming, the chairman asked me to bring the punishment for the participating troops..."

"Ah?" Du Yuming was startled, and after he realized it, he quickly stood up and stood at attention, "I will respectfully listen to the chairman's instruction!"

"It's not an instruction, it's a punishment!" Wu Shi corrected, "The chairman ordered that your participating troops lose their reputation and make the government passive in important diplomatic activities, so... the participating troops All officers will be demoted to private soldiers, and the rank of the chief officer of the troops they belong to will be demoted by one rank, and they will stay on probation to see the aftermath."

"What?" Du Yuming was shocked, "This is just a small exercise for regiment-level troops. Why is the punishment so severe?"

"Because their failure has brought trouble to the 'very important diplomatic activities of the government', we have fallen from the initiative to the passive!" Qin Wei explained next to him: "In other words, the failure of this exercise has far more problems than you imagined. much more serious."

"How serious...is it?" Du Yuming swallowed.He really didn't realize how troublesome this failure was before.Although it was humiliating in front of a group of Americans who had lost the battle, no matter what, it wouldn't kill all the officers of a regiment?And even Zheng Dongguo, the teacher directly under him, was also implicated.You must know that Zheng Dongguo was only a member of the exercise headquarters at that time, and did not directly command the troops to participate in the exercise. Even if he had to be punished, he should not have been demoted by one rank... Zheng Dongguo was only a major general.If you go down one level, you will become a colonel, right?Then how can he command Rong 1 Division?

"Forget it, I'll tell you." Qin Wei sighed, "We China is now competing with the United States and the United Kingdom for military dominance in the entire Asian region. At present, because the performance of the Americans is too useless. And we have fought one after another before. A few big victories, so when I speak, I have more confidence and a tough tone. It can be said that the British and Americans are very angry. But they just can't do without us, and our performance is indeed not bad. In the end What's important is that although they are stubborn, they actually have no idea whether they can stop the Japanese in Southeast Asia. In this way, they can only swallow our anger."

"But your defeat is different. Although it is only a small defeat, the Americans can infinitely magnify the results of this exercise. And the most important thing is that only the US military with almost the same level of equipment as yours defeated you. In fact, the equipment of the U.S. Army is far beyond our reach. Therefore, this small exercise instantly made the Yankee straighten up." Bai Chongxi continued, "Now, Song Ziwen and Yan Huiqing is very troublesome in the United States. We don’t have many cards in the first place. The only thing we can do is that our people can still play, and the United Kingdom and the United States, especially the United States, are in a disadvantageous situation and need us But this defeat of yours... well, Song Ziwen sent a telegram directly, and almost put all the responsibility on your heads."

"It's no wonder that Song Ziwen and the others are angry. It's not easy for them in the United States. Not only do they have to argue with the President of the United States, but they also have to argue with the British Prime Minister. They have spent so much effort to fight for our interests. But when we lose here, they are so Long-term hard work is tantamount to wasting. If it were me, I would be angry too." Wu Shi sighed.

"..." Du Yuming really didn't know that a mere "team defeat" would have such evil consequences. Hearing what a few people said, his teeth felt cold.Military dominance in Asia!No wonder Lao Jiang lost his temper so much. Now it seems that Zheng Dongguo was not transferred away, and he was not demoted as the commander of the army.But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable he felt and the more he felt suffocated... This battle did not show the true level of their 5th Army at all, but it caused such a bad result.If he just admits it like this, he will not feel comfortable when he dies: "Sirs, I request another fight with the U.S. military. I would like to guarantee for our 5th Army that the same thing will never happen again. If it is not victorious, the humble officer Willing to kill myself to thank the world!"

"But now MacArthur is unwilling to fight." Zhang Fakui said helplessly.

"Chief Qin..." Du Yuming looked at Qin Wei, begging.He knew that only Qin Wei had the best solution here.

"It's not easy." Qin Wei smiled wryly, "That old guy MacArthur is determined not to fight us anymore. It's hard to persuade him!"

"We must fight again, and we must win." Wu Shi said, "This is the order of the chairman. If you can't do it, everyone here will be punished!"

"...?"

Wu Shi's words showed Lao Jiang's determination, and also showed how angry Lao Jiang was in Chongqing now.But we didn't provoke this matter, why should we be unlucky together?Bai Chongxi, Zhang Fakui, and Xu Tingyao couldn't help but glared at Qin Wei. (To be continued..)
