Age of Rebirth

China and Japan fought in the air and at sea for two days and two nights. The result of the disastrous defeat of the Japanese made the commander-in-chief of the United States in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, General MacArthur, even more distressed than Prince Ren, the chief of staff of the Japanese army base camp.

MacArthur had to face pressure from both Tang Qiuli and the Japanese. He was not stupid. Tang Qiuli would not forget what he did secretly to prevent the independent division fleet from passing through the Strait of Malacca and provide information to the Japanese. The Chinese Personality, when he was in Manila, he had already learned a lot.

The Japanese were beaten badly by Tang Qiuli, and they will definitely blame themselves. They did not fulfill their obligations in accordance with the requirements of the Japan-US Secret Military Mutual Assistance Treaty, and did not take action against the fleet of the Independent Division. If the Japanese win the battle, all of this It's easy to say, the Japanese have no reason to vent their anger, so it's too late to celebrate?

But now, the Japanese will definitely become angry after losing the battle. For His Majesty the Emperor and their people, MacArthur is afraid from the bottom of his heart. The original intention of losing the most threatening Japanese is to hurt both sides, but such a good thing did not happen!

MacArthur wanted to go crazy because he didn't know that Ren had already listed Americans as the most untrustworthy people to stir up trouble in front of the emperor. Otherwise, this American four-star general might even think of committing suicide. Yes, no one can bear such a stimulus, and they lift a rock and hit their own feet, not only their feet, but even their heads. [

Stilwell looked at MacArthur who was full of bitterness, shook his head sympathetically, and said slowly: "Your Excellency, I personally think that the most urgent problem that needs to be solved at present is that we must establish a relationship between Tang Qiuli and the Japanese. , choose one as a reliable ally, otherwise, our presence in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific region will be suppressed by both sides.”

This is what MacArthur is worried about. He has always been good at dancing.Between Tang Qiuli and the Japanese, he was able to sell well at both ends and not lose at both ends, and things were done smoothly. When it was time to dig into his heart, he realized that nothing had been done for real.If you can gain the trust of the other party and take the initiative to show your favor, will it be considered another conspiracy?

Stilwell saw MacArthur's concerns, and for a while, he didn't know how to describe his immediate boss, who did things so unreasonably, so he said bluntly: "Commander, I personally think. We should choose the Chinese Tang Qiuli, as our ally, firstly, there is a treaty of military mutual assistance among allied countries. Second, in my personal opinion, Tang Qiuli is much easier to deal with than the Japanese!"

There was another reason, which Stilwell didn't mention, that once he formed an alliance with the Japanese, Tang Qiuli, who held the prestige of victory, would never be polite to the Americans, even more ruthless than the Japanese.He is not a fool, in the event of an alliance between two opponents, they will inevitably be defeated one by one, while the Japanese are newly defeated, hiding aside to bandage their wounds and recover their strength, and when the Americans are hit by Tang Qiuli.The Japanese will never and do not have the ability to lend a helping hand.

Tang Qiuli was strong, but there were possibilities and channels for dialogue after all. In the words of the Chinese, it was "the lesser of two evils." MacArthur very much agreed with Stilwell's suggestion. In fact, there was no way around this. He waited for Ai Ai for a while, and said to Stilwell: "Chief of Staff, you still need to come forward to repair the relationship with Tang Qiuli. After all, you have dealt with many times and have a basis for conversation."

Stilwell was sweating profusely. The reason why he repeatedly emphasized his personal opinion was that he was afraid that this hot potato would be thrown into his hands, but he still couldn't hide it. It's really fucking evil. You MacArthur is a mess. Is there any reason for you to let me clean up for you after all the trivial things you do?

What do you say when you see Tang Qiuli?Explain, is this Chinese so easy to fool and dismiss?If you put it on yourself, you have to punish MacArthur for the shitty things he did, so that you can remember it long. Like a rag, he looked at himself expectantly, his heart softened, and he nodded in agreement.

However, he had to ask for a bottom line, "Your Excellency, where is the bottom line in our negotiation with Tang Qiuli?" MacArthur pondered for a while, and replied very simply: "As long as the relationship with Tang Qiuli can be repaired, we will be punished. When the Japanese attack, he can send troops to help, you can control the bottom line yourself, and the headquarters will not interfere at all."

Stilwell understood that MacArthur was betting the treasure on himself, grasping the bottom line by himself, that is, no bottom line, kowtow to admit his mistake, begging his grandfather with a smiling face, and enduring the Chinese people's sneer, ridicule and ridicule. Comfortable, when the Japanese call, reach out to help, do whatever you want Stilwell to do.

Thinking of this, Stilwell became upset for a while, as disgusting as eating a fly, MacArthur is really nothing, his old face is valuable, he wants face, but he can't let go of his stinky airs, so he sacrificed his face to stick to the cold ass of the Chinese , How can I talk about having such an immediate boss, what is this called?

Tang Qiuli looked at the telegram sent by the fleet with a dejected look on his face. He had expected that the time difference made by the Japanese commander would cause damage to the fleet, but he did not expect that the loss of the fleet would be so large. Only six of the warships were slightly damaged, which was of no concern to the overall situation, but he was very surprised to lose a fleet of warships and planes in an air battle.

Moreover, 58 pilots were killed in battle, which made Tang Qiuli tremble with pain. He understood brother Qiuquan's feelings now. The independent division fleet set off from the Zhanjiang base, and without a hand-in-hand with the Japanese fleet, more than half of the aircraft was lost. , That was Brother Qiuquan's painstaking efforts for more than three years. At this moment, Tang Qiuli sighed in Brother Qiuquan's mood. He didn't know how to comfort Tang Qiuquan like this.

The loss of the fleet dilutes his heart and captures the joy of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet. Talk, know your brother, and the following.

"Brother Qiusheng, I am planning to mobilize pilots from Liu Cuigang's Northern Aviation Group into an organized system, concentrate on training at the Qingdao Naval Base, and replenish the fleet as soon as possible. We also have three newly captured aircraft carriers, and we also need aircraft pilots. Fortunately, Now in the northern region, the Kwantung Army Air Force is being suppressed by Liu Cuigang, so the pressure in the north is not great, otherwise, it would be really embarrassing now."

Tang Qiusheng nodded and said: "The air combat missions of the Le Yiqin fleet are heavy, so it is not suitable to deploy pilots. At present, there is no major war in the northern region. Deputy Commander Liu is on the ground, crushing the Kwantung Army to death. In the sky, Liu Cuigang is also I have the upper hand, I checked the battle report, the fighter jets of the Northern Aviation Group can go deep into the airspace around Fengtian."

"As for the Kwantung Army's fighter jets, they dare not even cross the Liaozhong line. This is also due to the main energy of the Kwantung Army. On the outer Xing'anling line, they were restrained by the Soviets and were able to escape. However, the pilots were drawn from Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang. , It’s not a long-term solution, I think this way, order the aviation department of Dingbian Military Academy, this year’s students should be trained in the direction of warship pilots, and the Guangzhou branch should also be trained in this direction, and the problem can be solved.”

Tang Qiuli nodded again and again, and said politely: "Brother Qiusheng, sincerity, this plan is very clever, as it should be, Xinlan, record the order," but seeing Liu Xinlan hesitated, she said in bewilderment: "Xinlan Ran, what's the matter?"

Liu Xinlan took a telegram and said: "Master, this is a private telegram from Commander Tang of the Fleet. I received it two hours ago. I was afraid of disturbing your command, so I temporarily suppressed it," Liu Xinlan finished speaking. , lowered his head, not daring to look at him, Tang Qiu clenched his heart, and secretly suspected, "Why did Brother Qiuquan use a private telegram? What is it that can interfere with my command? Could it be that something unexpected happened?" matter?"

After receiving the telegram, the message was not long, "Xiaoqiu, during the air battle just now, Yunfei led the first regiment of warships and planes to face the Seventh Air Force of the Japanese Army. The plane was shot down over the sea off Bangkok. After Yunfei parachuted, his whereabouts were unknown. Commander Ma Chaoyang of the Southeast Mobile Corps sent a ship to search, but they are still missing. It is estimated that the possibility of survival is not high. You should be mentally prepared, Qiuquan.”[

Tang Qiuli's eyes were full of gold stars, his ears were buzzing, his chest felt like a huge stone was blocked, and he couldn't breathe. The relationship between him and Yunfei, aside from the blood relationship, had other emotions in it.

How could he bear this incident, her body shook a few times, her face turned pale, Liu Xinlan hurried over to help her when she saw this, she had heard Tang Qiuli talk about her relationship with Tang Yunfei, so she sent this telegram, After the battle was over, Tang Qiuli did not expect such a big reaction.

Tang Qiusheng received the telegram with a gloomy expression on his face. His heart suddenly felt a sharp pain. When it comes to his love for Yunfei, he is no less than Tang Qiuli. Among the third generation descendants of the Tang family, Yunfei performed the best. It can't be all messed up, perhaps, Yunfei still has the possibility of surviving?

Tang Qiuli controlled his emotions, slowly let Liu Xinlan's support, gritted his teeth and growled: "If Yunfei really has an accident, I will use 20 Japanese soldiers in Yangon City to be buried with him!"

After finishing speaking, he said to Liu Xinlan: "Xinlan, order Le Yiqin to rush to the Yangdong frontline headquarters immediately after landing in Myitkyina. I will arrange the air raid on Okinawa in person. The Japanese Seventh Air Force , there is no need to exist.”

With murderous aura soaring to the sky, Liu Xinlan, who was closest to Tang Qiuli, couldn't help shivering. It can be seen that Tang Qiuli's deep-rooted hatred in his heart at this moment could no longer be suppressed.
