Age of Rebirth

Stilwell breathed a long sigh of relief. He knew his boss's personality too well. The boss was used to him. He had been stationed overseas for a long time, and he had developed MacArthur's arrogant, arrogant, and uncompromising character. He was really afraid of this boss. In a rage, he ordered all the U.S. fighter jets to take off, and gave Tang Qiuli a good """" ()

Fortunately, such a thing did not happen, otherwise, this must have been a major international sensation. There was a fight within the Allied Forces, and the target of the fight was still the invited guests. Doing so would be extremely detrimental to both the United States and China. Only the Japanese were happy. Stilwell and MacArthur's judgments were consistent. Tang Qiuli would never shoot down the US fighter jets escorting him for no reason.

What good would it do him?What benefits can I get?Therefore, there must be a reason for the incident, and Stilwell knows better, the gang of young men stationed in the Philippine Army Air Corps usually cause trouble, the restless master, he has received similar reports from the gendarmerie, and this time, I am afraid it is no exception Bar?

Stilwell stood at attention and saluted, "Yes, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I will definitely deal with this matter, and I will give the headquarters a detailed report on the cause of the incident," he couldn't say any more. Tang Qiuli was already disgusted to the bottom of his bones. His family traveled thousands of miles to Manila. As a landlord, he didn't even see him. It was impolite. Stilwell couldn't help worrying about the future of the upcoming meeting.

This is destined to be a tortuous, difficult and unsuccessful meeting. In this case, why do you, MacArthur, insist on holding this meeting?Stilwell couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied with his boss, and MacArthur looked at his back.Two cold lights shot out from the gray-blue eyes. Now that Tang Qiuli is here, he must obey his own arrangement.Otherwise, wanting to leave Manila would be very likely. [

I will definitely let this arrogant Chinese pay a heavy price. After using it, he will become a useful pawn. This is the price of his arrogance. At the same time.Through Tang Qiuli's unusually tough performance, MacArthur realized that this is a person who is extremely difficult, or perhaps impossible to bribe or surrender, perhaps at this moment.MacArthur changed his original thinking, and the object of his support in the future is Jiang Zhongzheng of the Chinese government.

Tang Qiuli was the first guest to arrive in Manila. If the Japanese hadn't ambushed him halfway, he would not have come here two days in advance.Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the special plane circled around and landed slowly at Manila Airport, where Tang Yunfei was escorting the formation of carrier-based aircraft. """ () continued to hover in the air until he saw his uncle's special plane.After gliding smoothly on the runway, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Qiuli's formation.It was quite big, 48 fighter jets, like a flock of goshawks, circled over the Manila airport, causing several citizens to stop and watch, and they all commented, "Where is this big man?" MacArthur was in his office on the top floor, He looked in the direction of the airport with a gloomy face.

In his opinion, this is Tang Qiuli's arrogance. Is it a demonstration against me?There are only forty or so fighter jets in the area. If the American planes take off, they will block the sky of Manila. There is a sneer of disdain at the corner of his mouth, and he doesn't think about it. Tang Qiuli is risking being ambushed and intercepted by Japanese planes. The danger of being killed, you have come here from a long distance, if there is not enough escort fleet, how can you guarantee safety?

After the special plane came to a complete stop, Tang Qiuli walked down the gangway. The airport was deserted. There were no welcome crowds or scenes as expected. There were only a few American jeeps parked at the end of the runway. As expected, after all, I just ordered to kill three American planes. If you have a good face, you are not an American.

Stilwell personally came to the airport to greet him. Having learned the lesson from the skies over Batangas, Stilwell dared not to hold any welcome ceremony. Originally, Tang Qiuli was the deputy head of state of a country, so there should be corresponding The welcome etiquette, but under MacArthur's falcon-like eyes, Stilwell swallowed the words when he got to his lips, one more thing is worse than one less thing!

Stilwell stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hands from a long distance, and shouted enthusiastically: "Welcome General Tang to the beautiful Manila." Tang Qiuli held Stilwell's big hand with a smile and said, "Thank you, General This is the second time we have met." Stilwell replied: "Yes, memories are always good, and I will never forget the warm hospitality given to me by the general in Tengchong, my mother's beautiful town."

The atmosphere seemed quite harmonious, and Stilwell's enthusiasm seemed to be deliberately ignored by Tang Qiuli. The deserted and embarrassing situation at the airport, when Tang Qiuli did not express any displeasure, Stilwell secretly relaxed. In his tone, MacArthur's intention to snub Tang Qiuli's arrangement made Stilwell himself somewhat uncomfortable.

After the polite greetings, Stilwell's breath of relief was not over yet, Tang Qiuli suppressed the smile on his face, and said calmly, "General Stilwell, when I'm about to arrive in Manila, What happened to me was very unpleasant, the escort fighter group of your country not only failed to fulfill the responsibility of welcoming and escorting, but wantonly provoked my escort fighter pilots."

"As a result, one of our planes almost crashed into the sea. What's more serious, your fighter pilots made insulting actions around my special plane. I immediately ordered my subordinates to shoot it down. Presumably the general Do you know about this? Is this the way Americans, who are known as the most developed countries, treat their guests? I want you to give me a reasonable explanation and promise that similar things will never happen. It can't happen again! Otherwise, my counterattack will be more intense!"

Stilwell groaned like a toothache, and showed Nai's wry smile, "Tang Qiuli is still so tough, even in the sphere of influence of our Americans, he still did not change his true colors, and shot down our fighter jets of the American army. Take the initiative to ask the teacher to blame, this Chinese has too many nationalistic characteristics, tough and uncompromising."

Sure enough, it was the Army Aviation Corps. Stilwell could fully imagine the troubles caused by those young masters. Even their behavior and performance were more serious than what Tang Qiuli said. Stilwell said sincerely: " Please rest assured, General Tang, I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation, if this is indeed the case, we will severely punish the pilots involved, as His Excellency Commander-in-Chief MacArthur has also explained.”

Tang Qiuli didn't ask any further questions. That was enough. Shooting down the U.S. fighter jets and protesting and warning them in person was tough enough. Tang Qiuli also believed that this was never ordered by MacArthur or Stilwell. , There is no need for this, and it is not very stupid. It should be an absurd move by the US military pilots on their own initiative.

The convoy drove out of the airport and turned onto the bustling streets of Manila. It was already evening. Looking through the car, the streets of Manila were lit up with neon lights, and there was a deformed scene of prosperity everywhere. From time to time, military jeeps of the US military roared by. , a drunken American soldier, with his arms around a filipino girl with a black and yellow face but a hot body, revealing clothes, big breasts and wide buttocks, swaggered through the city, blowing ominous and harsh whistles to young women passing by from time to time.

The whole city was filled with an atmosphere of corruption, feasting, and luxury. For some reason, Tang Qiuli felt a strong disgust in his heart when he looked at this city full of colonial colors. In addition, Manila in September , It was still humid and hot, and the salty sea breeze, blowing in through the open car, made my body feel sticky and wet.

In western Yunnan and northern Myanmar, although the temperature is also very high, there is absolutely no feeling of being not refreshed. The wind blowing from the mountains carries a fresh breath, and it is by no means like the night wind in Manila, which brings a sense of freshness. Tang Qiuli couldn't help frowning at the pungent smell of powder and suffocating decay, and looked at Mei Xue beside him. It was obviously the first time he had seen an exotic atmosphere, and he was dazzled.

The hotel arranged by Stilwell was in good condition. There were dozens of Tang Qiuli's entourages, almost occupying half a floor. Moreover, Tang Qiuli's room was obviously the most luxurious in this hotel. Obviously, Stilwell was After putting in a lot of effort, naturally, Tang Qiuli couldn't turn a blind eye to the painstaking efforts of this American general whom he had always liked, and was thankful and polite again.

After Stilwell and his entourage left, Tang Qiuli had a very unpleasant dinner. To be honest, the food in the Manila Hotel was not suitable for his appetite. It was indescribably sweet and bland, and tasteless Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "Xue'er, do you want to visit the night view of Manila?"

Mei Xue jumped up like a child, and gave him a sweet kiss on the face. Tang Qiuli had his own petty eyes. According to the experience of his previous life, the food in those high-end hotels is called high-end, but in fact it looks good or not. If you want to know the food of a place, the best way is those street snacks. He was half hungry and half full for dinner today. Opportunity, filling the belly, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone! [

However, in order to make the trip, Shan Hu, the captain of the security team, had to approve it. Tang Qiuli had spent a lot of time, intimidating and intimidating, and being reasonable and emotional, Shan Hu finally opened his mouth and ordered More than a dozen special guards changed into casual clothes, and Tang Qiuli also took Mei Xue and Shanhu, also in casual clothes, and went out happily.

On the streets of Manila at night, there were crowds of people, scantily clad girls ostentatiously passing through the city, and Tang Qiuli felt uncomfortable after walking not far away, mainly because of the gazes of Filipino men and American soldiers, how should I put it?Straightforward, with a burst of irrepressible lust, all of this is related to Mei Xue who is holding her arm without realizing it.
