October 10th was the National Day of the National Government. Chongqing held many celebrations. Although they were not lively, they were acceptable. However, a storm occurred at the reception of foreign envoys, which had a very bad impact.

At the reception, Colonel Hobbs, deputy military attache of the U.S. Embassy, ​​publicly accused the government of ignoring the overall situation and repeatedly attacking friendly parties and troops, and was not a responsible government...

Because of his accusation, the state officials and generals present were very embarrassed, and because of the other party's identity, they were inconvenient to argue. However, Chairman Chiang was present at the time, but he was very unhappy and argued a few words...

Who would have thought that Colonel Hobbs did not give him face at all, but directly pointed out that Chairman Chiang, as the leader, should bear the main responsibility for the actions of the national government and the national army...

Chairman Chiang was angry at the time, but as a leader of a country, if he continued to talk, he would really lose his status, and he could only walk away and become autistic!
Naturally, the reception broke up unhappy because of this. When the news came out, it naturally aroused all kinds of discussions and made a lot of noise...

Chairman Chiang was not the one to suffer. After returning to his official residence in Huangshan, he immediately summoned the US Ambassador Johnson, lodged a strong protest with him, and demanded that Hobbs be immediately removed from the post of deputy military attache...

Although Ambassador Johnson promised to consider it, he also made it clear: In the past period, the government's suppression and attacks on the underground party and the Eighth Route Army were indeed inconsistent with the status of an ally... Colonel Hobbs is a professional soldier, and this It’s understandable that you can’t stand this kind of behavior!

His words made Chairman Chiang very angry, but he didn't know what to do.

When Ambassador Johnson was leaving, he said something that made him even more angry: "Mr. Chairman, given that the Eighth Route Army is currently actively attacking the Japanese army in North China and has achieved good results, in order to show support for it, we will arrive this month. A quarter of China's aid supplies will be allocated to the underground party..."

The attendants in the attendant's room discovered that after the American ambassador left, the chairman broke many tea cups, tea sets and other things one after another. They did not dare to persuade him, so they had to invite his wife.

Mrs. Chiang still had a way, and she quickly persuaded the furious Chairman, and then analyzed the character of Americans for him, saying that they were all accustomed to extreme freedom, and even the policies of their own president or government, They also criticize whenever they want, so this incident is not unusual!
After hearing this, Chairman Chiang was somewhat less angry, but he was still extremely dissatisfied with Hobbes who had prevented him from stepping down in public, and had to drive him out of Chongqing to relieve his anger.In addition, this Ambassador Johnson is not a good person. He actually gave a quarter of this month’s aid to China to the underground party, which is many times more than before. It is really disgusting.
Mrs. Chiang promised him that she would communicate with friends in the United States and get rid of Hobbes as soon as possible; but she could not decide whether Ambassador Johnson would stay or not. Perhaps after the current presidential election in the United States, a new president would take office. Only then will there be a chance...

On the other side, Hobbes returned to the embassy and was approached by Military Attaché Red Bull, who criticized him for being too irrational. He should not criticize the host country's government outright at an occasion like a reception, let alone criticize a country without a leader. rude……

Hobbes was furious and immediately retorted!Although the other party is a military attache, half a rank higher than him, they have the same military rank, both are colonels, and the other party is in the army and he is in the navy. Hobbs is really not afraid of Red Bauer, or he has never been convinced by the other party. .The quarrel between the chief and deputy military attachés was seen by the subordinates in the military attache's office. No one dared to step forward at this time. The other embassy staff were all civilian officials and it was not easy for them to interfere in military affairs. Just like that, no one stopped the fight for a while!
The two of them quarreled more and more fiercely, and almost got into a fight. Fortunately, they both still had some sense and did not really fight... In the end, Hobbes slammed the door and left Bai Ruide's office, and returned to his office angrily.

After Ambassador Johnson came back, he was very angry when he heard about this situation. Why were these two people so careless?However, he knew the temper of these soldiers, so he did not talk to the two of them immediately. Instead, he prepared to deal with them coldly. At the same time, he also gave himself time to consider Chairman Chiang's request.

After returning to his office, Hobbs was angry for a while and wanted to find someone to chat with, but found that he had no friends in Chongqing, so he became even more depressed.

Li Junhao, who was in Shanghai, only found out what happened after receiving the telegram from Hobbes the next day.Although he admired Hobbes's character, he did not agree with his approach because he knew that not only would it not solve the problem, but it would also put himself in a disadvantageous situation. After all, this matter involved the diplomatic relations between the two countries... In short, the situation is wrong and the method is wrong!

At this time, he didn’t know that Ambassador Johnson had decided to allocate a quarter of this month’s aid to China to the underground party. If he had known about it, he would have said: This is the right way!In the future, as long as the government dares to show evildoers, this method will be used to punish them. I don’t believe they are disobedient!

After thinking about it, Li Junhao called Hobbs back and invited him to come to Shanghai to relax and take a look at his newly established Army Aviation Squadron and the two new fighters... Oh, and the Galli from the Shanghai Squadron. Rear Admiral, can you introduce the two of them to each other? They are both from the Navy, so they should have a common language.

After receiving his call back, Hobbs was moved and asked Ambassador Johnson for leave.Jason was thinking about how to let him leave Chongqing for a while, so he naturally agreed immediately after hearing this.So Hobbes didn't waste any time and took a flight from Chongqing to Hong Kong on the 12th day, then transferred to Shanghai.

Because of Li Junhao's special status now, he did not go to the airport in person. Instead, he sent two officers from the Attaché Office of the Consulate General and a team of guards to pick him up.

That night, he invited Hobbes to his home for dinner and chat, drank with him, and listened to his complaints...

Slowly, he heard that although Hobbes couldn't stand the dirty things done by the government this time, he did it deliberately at the reception - to put it bluntly, Hobbes just didn't want to be a military attaché abroad anymore. Now, he wants to return to the navy to serve. Just as the country is beginning to expand the size of its fleet, he believes that he will have his own use!
