Age of Rebirth

Hearing Tang Qiuli's question, Yang Ketian was stunned for a moment, and his brain started running at high speed. Although he didn't know why the teacher asked such a question, judging from Yang Ketian's experience in working in the division headquarters for such a long time, according to the teacher's habits, he must never It's not as simple as asking casually.

He replied with the rigor of a staff officer: "Stilwell is still waiting for you at the headquarters. From this afternoon until now, Deputy Commander Tang has been with you." After a slight pause, he added: "Stilwell Wei is very anxious, and has repeatedly emphasized that this matter cannot be resolved without an interview with you."

Tang Qiuli glanced at Yang Ketian with admiration, and with a few words, he let himself know all the information. He thought about it and said to Yang Ketian: "Ketian, please quietly inform Deputy Teacher Tang that you will come to my residence in a while. Come on, by the way, with Stilwell's plan, as for Stilwell, let him wait."

Yang Ketian immediately understood what the teacher meant. He didn't want to meet with Stilwell before he saw the American plan. Seeing Yang Ketian get in the car and leave, Tang Qiuli said to Shanhu: "Huzi, let's go back to the villa. Along the way, I didn’t eat well, so I’ll have a good meal first, it’s all caused by the Americans,” Tang Qiuli held back his anger.

Originally, I had a very comfortable stay in Kuala Lumpur, and I beat the Japanese hard, and I was accompanied by a beautiful woman, but the Americans just came to make trouble, and I stayed with Stilwell for one night, which is also the meaning of the title. I hurried back to meet you, you Americans are uncles?To be honest, if Brother Qiusheng hadn't made two phone calls in a row, Stilwell's face would not have been so great. [

Besides, they didn't know the reason for the Americans' visit. Why did they see Stilwell? The convoy turned around a long street and drove into a relatively secluded street. It was already midnight, and there were few pedestrians on the street.But in front of a villa, it seemed very lively, with many cars and rickshaws parked, and there were people in suits and leather shoes or locals from time to time.In and out.

Against the background of the quiet residential buildings around, it is particularly conspicuous. Tang Qiuli can't help but wonder, in Yangon, people who can own a car are either rich people or officials of the puppet government before the Japanese rule. It's so late.If it was a normal gathering or a birthday banquet, it should have ended long ago. He couldn't help but pay attention, and said to Shanhu: "Huzi, send some special guards to inquire about the situation of this family."

Shan Hu picked up the walkie-talkie and gave a simple order, "Squad [-], five people, go down and find out the details of this lively house," the team drove past the street in front of the house. , didn't stop at all, and didn't slow down. After the convoy passed, five figures slowly approached the busy villa.

Tang Qiuli observed carefully, the movements of the special guards were clean and quick, and they were not very good at getting on and off the high-speed car.There is absolutely no way to do it, he said to Shanhu: "Huzi, your soldiers are getting stronger and stronger." Shanhu did not hide his pride, and replied: "That is. It doesn't matter whose subordinates , Just this little bit of effort, little thing, let's just wait, and we'll definitely find out what you want," Tang Qiuli said, this mountain tiger doesn't know how to be modest.

While chatting and laughing, the convoy drove into the residence, and as soon as they got off the car, they could smell the tempting aroma of food. Tang Qiuli was greatly surprised. This was well prepared. Liu Xinlan beside her said with a smile: "Just now , when we entered the urban area and met Director Yang, I took the time to make a phone call, aren't you hungry, I told you to prepare."

Tang Qiuli didn't say anything, but smiled gratefully at Liu Xinlan, needing too much words, everything was unspoken, when everyone was sitting around eating, there was the sound of a car in the yard, and Tang Qiusheng was dressed in military uniform , walked in with a tired look on his face, Tang Qiuli hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Brother Qiusheng, your complexion is not very good. Are you sick?" He asked with concern. Tang Qiuli was somewhat guilty. He was the highest official of the independent division in name, but his daily work and affairs were all under the control of Brother Qiusheng. In person, I became more and more like a shopkeeper who left hands. Except for strategic matters, I didn't ask about all the trivial affairs.

Moreover, Brother Qiusheng is also serving as the director of the Yangon Military Control Committee, and there is a big mess in the Sulu Mobile Corps. If Yu Guanghan, the chief of staff of the Corps, was not for the shrewd and capable chief of staff, Brother Qiusheng might have to spend so much energy on it. With millions of troops, just presiding over the daily affairs of the division headquarters can exhaust a normal person.

Tang Qiusheng smiled indifferently, and said: "I'm not sick, but these days are annoying enough. The upper class in Yangon has set up a Burmese nation-building committee, clamoring all day long that there will be a national election in Myanmar. Just dealing with them is enough to cause a headache," Tang Qiuli raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Oh, there is such a thing?"

A warning sign suddenly rose in his heart, and he thought of what he saw on the way back to the villa. Just as he was about to ask, Tang Qiusheng waved his hand and said: "This is a trivial matter, let's not talk about it today, that American Stilwell, I have been staring at the headquarters for the past two days, and I have to see you. No, I also brought the plan he proposed. Commander, it is not easy for me to escape! I ran out after telling a big lie, that Stilwell , as sticky as brown sugar."

Tang Qiuli had something on his mind. He was still pondering what brother Qiusheng said just now. He didn't understand the meaning of the joke in Tang Qiusheng's words. He took the folder that Qiusheng handed over and opened it. It was a battle plan in both Chinese and English. The large English font is on it, and the Chinese characters are very small. On the cover, a few words read "Operation Tiger Shark of Allied China and Southeast Asia Theater Headquarters."

When Tang Qiuli saw this format, he felt angry. The American bosses were used to the battle plan they presented to him, but they were short of a full English version. They didn't know they were Chinese?Even this detail has not been dealt with well. How much material can this so-called Tiger Shark Action Plan have?

In a fit of anger, he opened up the specific content, watched and watched, and he was "puzzled" for joy. This action plan is very interesting. It is completely American way of thinking, and it is inseparable from it. The old man who uses soldiers from other countries as cannon fodder Routine, others fight desperately in the front, and the Americans hide behind to pick up the cheap.

The reason for formulating this plan made Tang Qiuli dumbfounded, "In view of the current situation in Southeast Asia, it is in an unstable situation, and the only factor causing instability is the fact that the Japanese army is in Singapore. In order to ensure the situation in the region Stability, better development of the local economy, and a stable living environment for the people, the United States and China have more responsibilities and obligations to jointly eradicate factors that undermine regional stability."

The goal is obvious. The Japanese have become unlucky. This is the usual method of the Americans. Before doing something to others, first find a high-sounding reason and stand on a moral level. Whether it is now or in future generations, Americans have always It was done in this way. Tang Qiuli was absolutely not opposed to killing the Japanese, he just found it ridiculous. In another time and space, seeing the American tradition inherited in one continuous line felt a bit ridiculous.

The core idea of ​​the plan is that the U.S. troops in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific region, together with Tang Qiuli's independent division, attack and finally wipe out the Ito's unit of the Japanese Southeast Asian Expeditionary Force in Singapore. This is not the most important thing. This operation The plan, in the name of the Allied Army Headquarters, required Tang Qiuli's independent division to complete its campaign deployment by February 23 at the latest, and launch an attack on the Japanese army in Singapore at the end of February. The launch of the campaign was driven by the independent division. .

Tang Qiuli's independent division has taken the lead. What are the Americans doing?The plan said, "The U.S. forces in the South Pacific region are responsible for blocking the Japanese army's retreat route through the Strait of Malacca. In the final stage of the campaign, they will be put into combat. Moreover, the U.S. military will invest no less than 20 troops. Not less than six hundred.

The following is the sweet date given. The US military can provide independent divisions with weapons and equipment of no less than five full-scale divisions. After the Japanese army is completely wiped out, the Indochina Peninsula will be owned by Tang Qiuli with the Strait of Malacca as the boundary. Jurisdiction: The area south of Sumatra, Kalimantan, Mindanao, and Luzon is under the jurisdiction of the Americans, and the Strait of Malacca is administered by the US and China.

When Tang Qiuli saw more than half of this so-called tiger shark action plan, he could conclude that it was the work of that old guy MacArthur, and it was an old tune that emphasized the division of Southeast Asia between the United States and China. In the end, let Tang Qiuli and the Japanese fight to the death to pull out the nails at the door of the house, and the Americans will enjoy the benefits, which is nothing more than five more divisions of candy with weapons and equipment. [

Tang Qiuli closed the folder, shook his head in disbelief, and then said to Tang Qiusheng: "Brother Qiusheng, what do you think of this so-called tiger?" Operation Shark?"

Tang Qiusheng paused and said: "The old tune is heavy, it's just MacArthur's trick." Tang Qiuli applauded and praised, "Brother Qiusheng, the hero sees the same thing. I still remember the last time, when Yangon was not defeated, MacArthur arrived in Yangon." At that time, the Americans planned this way, but they didn’t show it. It seems that we stood still in Kuala Lumpur, and MacArthur couldn’t sit still in the face of the Japanese at our door!”

Tang Qiusheng nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Master, how do you plan to deal with MacArthur's battle plan? Stilwell is sitting on the ground and urging him to go, and he must ask for an accurate answer!"

Tang Qiuli smiled, eyes half-closed and said: "Since MacArthur has put so much effort into working together with us, he can't let down the kindness of the Americans, so Brother Qiusheng, you can make an appointment with Shi Shi for me. Diwei, tomorrow morning, I invite him to drink tea, how about I get the weapons and equipment first, the Americans and the Japanese are rushing to send money and guns, am I out of character?"

Seeing Tang Qiuli's narcissism, the whole room burst into laughter.
