Age of Rebirth

At 31:[-] p.m. on May [-], [-], sixteen and a half hours had passed since Japan launched a full-scale attack on the U.S. forces in the South Pacific. Tang Qiuli took a special plane and left Berlin, the capital of Germany, for On the journey back home, apart from the original division commander's entourage, there was another major general Battelle who changed into the uniform of the independent division.

Facing the brilliant sunset of Berlin, the two special planes disappeared into the eastern sky. At the airport, Hitler seemed to have lost something. This magical Chinese, who arrived in Berlin only forty hours in total, was like a strong hurricane. He and Germany have brought about fundamental changes, which both excited Hitler and made him look forward to them.

Tang Qiuli's special plane has disappeared into the sky for a long time, and Hitler is still looking up to the east. A large group of German party, government, and military officials who came to see him off, no one knows, the mood of His Excellency at this time, until the last touch of the sky The fire burned into the clouds, swallowed by the night, and the streets of Berlin were just lit up before Hitler returned to the Führer.

Tang Qiuli on the special plane, of course, would not know what Hitler was doing at this time. He sat around with Battelle and Shan Hu, and Mei Xue, Liu Xinlan and Bai Luoyu crowded beside them, chatting casually and talking If you can't finish it, there is no theme, just say whatever comes to mind!

The meeting between Shan Hu and Battelle was more masculine. The two first hugged each other tightly, and then each stretched out a hand to hold each other, and began to wrestle. Yes, the result was a tie. [

The two looked at each other and laughed, Shanhu said with a "hehe" smile: "Battelle, I haven't seen you in a few years, he is taller, stronger and stronger than me, now it's all right, I have a companion, Our two brothers are still the Second General Huo Ha next to the teacher!" At the time of the Northeast Bloody Hands.Shanhu and Battelle are the guards who are always around Tang Qiuli, one is called "Crazy Tiger" and the other is called "Blood Knife".In the Old Bloody Hands, they are all well-known.

Battelle asked with a smile: "Brother Shanhu, why, leave me a place? But, I really miss when we were together, killing the little devil with all my heart, okay. I'll be your deputy!"

Tang Qiuli took over the conversation and said teasingly, "Huzi, just stay by my side, is it enough to stay with me? Do you want to hand over the stall of the guard brigade to Battelle? You want to lead the troops to fight? Thanks to you." I can figure it out, I will form a team with you, oh, a security brigade. I will let the two major generals go!"

Everyone laughed, Shanhu touched his head, and said seriously: "Master, don't tell me, I really want to go down to that corps, be a brigade commander or something, Battelle, you don't know, just your brother's temper , I can't hear the gunshots, I don't know where to go, I worry about it all day, it's more tiring than leading tens of thousands of soldiers!"

Tang Qiuli stared angrily.Why does it sound like Shanhu is taking care of a child?

Tang Qiuli thought for a while, and said to Battelle seriously: "Brother, what do you want to do when you come back this time? You can leave the army, or stay by my side. It depends on yourself!"

Battelle smiled and said: "Brother, I'd better lead the soldiers. I have led soldiers in Germany for more than two years, and I am used to it. Besides, the German army and soldiers are excellent in many aspects. I want to integrate these excellent things into the Let’s go to the army, and after more than two years of leading troops, it is fair to say that the German army is one of the best armies in the world.”

"The quality of soldiers, equipment level, training standards, and tactical guiding ideology are all commendable. They are a whole generation higher than those of the little devils. The German commanders are very tactically literate. And strategic vision, these are worth learning!"

Tang Qiuli nodded approvingly. It was no coincidence that the German army was able to defeat Britain and France, which are also European military powers, and sweep across the European continent. He said, "Battelle, I intend to appoint you as the commander of our independent division armored force. Brother, you know, the armored units of our army have not yet formed a complete set of armored tactical theories and tactics, when you come back, combined with reality, you need to work harder on this aspect!"

Battelle said with a silly smile: "Brother, am I going back to my old job? To be honest, Asian armies, including the Japanese army, do not have complete armored combat theory and experience. I am afraid that I am not experienced enough to do a good job." !"

Tang Qiuli said half-jokingly: "Learn to be humble! The famous Major General of the Lightning Assault Division of the German First Panzer Army, the winner of the Iron Cross twice, has made a great reputation in the German military circles. Why, brother Here, do you have no idea?"

Battelle became popular, and said with some embarrassment: "Aren't I afraid that I won't do well and make my brother difficult? Besides, brother, as far as your ability is concerned, everyone knows it. When the time comes, you have to help me!" "

Talking and laughing, breathing bursts from time to time in the cabin, before you know it, it is already the middle of the night, everyone is talking and no one wants to rest, it was Tang Qiuli who drove everyone away.

After a whole night of flying, on the morning of June [-]st, the special plane landed at Ankara Airport to refuel. As usual, Colonel Hoffmann, the head of the German Overseas Military Intelligence Station in Ankara, came to greet him in person. However, this time we met, Colonel Hoffman's attitude was obviously more humble, with a sunny smile on his gloomy face.

Tang Qiuli knew it well. It must be this guy. He received a report from the country and knew that during his stay in Berlin, he had stirred up a lot of wind and rain. Even Goering, the number two in Germany, couldn't bear it. What's more, as a little colonel, if this distinguished guest of the head of state who can't afford to be offended, is in a bad mood and sends a confidential telegram to the headquarters of the Intelligence Bureau, Hoffman will be messed up!

Therefore, in the face of Hoffman's enthusiasm, Tang Qiuli behaved lukewarm, reserved and distanced. However, Hoffman's professional quality made Tang Qiuli look up to him, as expected of an intelligence background Well, without using that order, Hoffman brought a copy of each of the local newspapers, and especially important news, especially the news reports involving the Japanese war against the Americans, were translated into Chinese .

This is amazing, but within a dozen hours, Hoffman came up with such a thing, and Tang Qiuli couldn't help but be amazed, it is definitely a talent, Hoffman knew what he needed most, and said he would vote for it Whether you like it or deliberately please it, in short, what you take out is what you need most, and the excellent characteristics of the Germanic nation are revealed!

Tang Qiuli stretched out his hand sincerely, and said, "Colonel Hoffman, thank you very much, I will remember everything you have done!"

Hoffman was a little flattered that his work was worthwhile for the distinguished guest of the head of state to say such words. In all fairness, Hoffman prepared these things entirely out of the professional instinct of an intelligence officer. Did he receive instructions from the country? A deputy leader of a country like Tang Qiuli urgently needs to understand the current international situation. From the news reports published by the newspapers, you can smell something different! [

Hoffman was very happy. He did the right thing. He didn’t need to see the benefits right away. As long as General Tang had his own name in his mind, the benefits would come later. After more than an hour, the special plane took off from Ankara and continued towards the Fly to the east.

Watching the private plane gradually disappear into the blue sky, Hoffman heaved a sigh of relief, and carefully recalled the process of receiving Tang Qiuli twice, and found that it was well done, so he drove in a happy mood leave.

It really fulfilled Hoffman's guess. Not long after, he was transferred back to China, took another high post, and was promoted to major general. I see, but Hoffman himself definitely believes that it must have something to do with that Chinese General Tang!

At [-] o'clock in the morning on June [-]st, Washington, USA, the White House Office of the President, while Tang Qiuli was still flying in the sky, the second military meeting urgently convened by US President Franklin Roosevelt was going to a critical juncture.

Just at 10:[-] am yesterday, [-] minutes after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the operational duty room of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff received the first urgent telegram from General MacArthur, the commander of the US Southeast Asia and South Pacific Headquarters.

The telegram was as short as gold, and it was completely different from the commander-in-chief who was accustomed to long speeches, "Urgent notification, the Joint Chiefs of Staff will be forwarded to the President, at 31:[-] in the morning on May [-]st, The Japanese army suddenly launched a sudden attack on our army's defense areas, and until the telegram was sent, the fierce fighting was still going on, I hope the country will come up with countermeasures as soon as possible!"

There is no beginning and no end, how many troops the Japanese army has, where are the main attacking directions, what are the current losses of the US military, how many key points the Japanese army has occupied, what countermeasures MacArthur himself has taken, etc. A thunderous, bad news.

At exactly three o'clock, President Roosevelt, who was already asleep, received a call from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Chesterney, "Mr. President, there is very bad news. At [-]:[-] this morning, the Japanese sent Our forces in the South Pacific have launched an all-out attack!"

Like a thunderbolt from the blue sky and a blow to the head, holding the phone, Roosevelt's mind went blank for a moment, and there was a burst of gold stars flying around in front of him. He couldn't believe it. How could it be possible?

The Japanese would suddenly attack the U.S. Army without warning, without a declaration of war, and without constant friction. The war broke out suddenly, "Mr. President! Mr. President!" On the other end of the phone, General Chesterney, Did not hear the president's echo, shouted eagerly.

Roosevelt fought a cold war, and the Japanese hit him head-on, disrupting his position. Hearing Admiral Chesterney's shout, he said hastily: "Chesterney, order to go down and call an emergency military meeting immediately! "
