Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli was about to set off for Chongqing, and met with Stalin's special envoy Molotov, who had been waiting impatiently. After the Qingdao Naval Base, what he couldn't let go of was Shanhu, the lone army.

It's not that I'm worried about anything else, but I'm afraid that they will encounter the Japanese fleet. In terms of the combined combat effectiveness of a destroyer led by Shanhu and Chutian and several other non-combat ships, it is not enough for a fleet of the Japanese Navy. Therefore, Tang Qiuli's order to Shanhu and Chutian was just two words, "avoid war", and don't fight if you can. In case they are surrounded by the Japanese navy fleet, the vast sea is not just a joke.

In the past few days, his heart has been hanging, he is afraid that this guy Shanhu can't help but do it after seeing the Japanese. In terms of Shanhu's temper, it is more uncomfortable to see a little devil and not to fight him than to kill him However, Chutian and Shanhu were together, which made Tang Qiuli feel at ease. He is the upcoming head of the special warfare detachment of the Independent Division. Give him this fist force.

When the sea and the sky meet, the water and the sky are the same color, and several faint shadows of ships appear in Tang Qiuli's field of vision. The figures of the warships become clearer and clearer, and the long trails left by the ships breaking through the sea can already be seen, and only five or six ships enter the port. Of course, the scene of the warship is not as spectacular as when the entire fleet entered the port, but in Tang Qiuli's view, there is a kind of intimacy like a brother returning home.

Shan Hu got off the destroyer energetically. After a few days of sailing at sea, his mental state was not affected at all. He was still so vigorous. Probably this guy was used to life at sea. Don't be like Brother Qiuquan, who likes Into the navy? Tang Qiuli secretly thought. [

The way Shanhu and Tang Qiuli met was absolutely different from other officers of the Independent Division. The two first had a bear hug, and saw the eyes of the Soviet sailors who had just changed into Chinese navy uniforms. A four-star general and a Colonel, after the meeting, the restraint and formality of all the superiors and subordinates are like brothers reunited after a long absence. These Chinese people really don't understand.

Then, pulling a little distance away from each other, looking at each other carefully, and reading the concerns and emotions in each other's eyes, Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "Hu Zi, you seem to be in good spirits, these are all yours." Did you get it back?" Shanhu smiled honestly, and replied: "The little devil gave it to you, don't take it for nothing, but these big guys are still very motivated, and the cannon is strong enough.,

After finishing speaking, the two laughed. Chu Tian was not as casual as Shan Hu. When they finished making out, they stood at attention and saluted, and said in a clear voice: "Report to the commander, Chu Tian, ​​the captain of the Ninth Division of the Special Warfare Detachment of the Independent Division, has returned to the team after finishing his mission." , please teach me, Master!"

Tang Qiuli looked at Chu Tian with a smile, and said:

"Captain Chu, no, Captain Chu, you have worked hard, hurry up and rest!" Chu Tian was taken aback, thinking it was a slip of the tongue from the teacher, and looked at Tang Qiuli suspiciously. Tang Qiuli smiled but did not answer. Full of doubts, he led the soldiers of the Ninth Division to rest.

Tang Qiuli turned to Shanhu and said, "Huzi, you can't rest anymore. Come with me to Chongqing and leave immediately," Shanhu readily agreed. For him, as long as he can stay with Tang Qiuli, he can go anywhere. The so-called, Tang Qiuli drove to the airport with only Shanhu and eighteen special guard soldiers.

A transport plane and eight "escort" fighters have already parked on the runway. This is the unanimous request of all corps-level generals of the Independent Division. Even if Tang Qiuli wanted to keep a low profile, he couldn't do it. He saw the fighter jets and the five-pointed star pattern sprayed on the fuselage of several fighter jets, which represented the number of enemy planes the pilot had shot down.

After counting carefully, the plane that shot down the most Japanese or Soviet planes had four stars. I couldn't help thinking of my nephew Tang Yunfei who was recovering from injuries in Dingbian. This little guy's plane should also have two stars, right?There are also two wives in Dingbian and the elderly on both sides. They should find time to go home.

The plane soared into the blue sky, and the blue sea and the Shandong Peninsula gradually moved away. The plane flew over the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River and the land of Jingchu, and flew towards the southwest. Mountains began to appear under the wings, and it had entered the Sichuan Basin. Since the government moved its capital to Chongqing Afterwards, Tang Qiuli returned to the accompanying capital during the war for the first time.

When the plane landed at Chongqing Airport, there were no armed military police, no huge welcoming crowd, no civil and military officials with different ideas, no many local reporters, and no deliberately arranged scenes, which made Tang Qiuli feel a lot more relaxed. Unexpectedly, the Soviet ambassador to China Oveshinsky and the German ambassador to China Feng.Earl Shideslang appeared at the airport hand in hand.

Moreover, the two chatted and laughed very enthusiastically. Tang Qiuli couldn't help but sigh with emotion. At most two years, the Soviet Union will go to war. I am afraid that such a scene will never happen again. However, these two diplomats, how can they not know it? Thinking that two years later, Germany and the Soviet Union will meet each other with swords and fight to the death. Apart from the ambassadors of the two countries, there are only a few staff members in the general office of the Military Commission. In comparison, it can be described as shabby.

Needless to ask, Tang Qiuli had already guessed Chairman Jiang's intentions. He was telling the Soviet and German ambassadors to China that a mere Tang Qiuli could not represent the government of the Republic of China. He was just one of the many officials in the government. , has not reached the trend of overriding Generalissimo Chiang.

This is a blatant loss of Tang Qiuli's face. According to his status, the second person in the Republic of China, the first time he came to the Ministry, there should be a welcome scene corresponding to his status. In Tang Qiuli's view, This is a bit petty, and you can't do it in front of foreigners. The issues of the Far East and Northeast simply cannot get around yourself.

If the Soviets and the Japanese don't talk to themselves, do they still want to talk to you, Chairman Jiang?What a joke, not to mention that I blocked the Japanese from going south in the north, the record of regaining North China and Outer Mongolia alone deserves warm welcome from Chongqing. The indifference made Tang Qiuli very unhappy.

Oveshinsky, the Soviet ambassador to China, rushed forward to greet the German ambassador, "Dear General Tang, welcome to the beautiful mountain city of Chongqing. I have prepared good coffee at the embassy, ​​and I have specially asked General Tang to condescend to go to the Soviet embassy." , "Tang Qiuli found it very funny and ironic that a foreigner uttered words of welcome on the land of China.

It can also be seen from this that the Soviets were already impatient, and they were about to pick them up at the airport, but they did not grab Feng, the German ambassador to China.Earl Schedersland shrugged his shoulders with a naive expression on his face. He was just a middleman in charge of building a bridge for the Japanese. Although the Japanese special envoy was waiting in the German embassy in China, restless, he did not have the Soviets to come forward directly. strength.

You won't snatch Tang Qiuli from Oveshinski, will you?Not to mention the difficulty and consequences of doing so, it is not worth offending the Soviets just for the sake of the Japanese that I don't like very much. If it weren't for German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop repeatedly asking the embassy to assist the Japanese, Feng.Earl Shideslang would not talk to the Japanese at all.

Of course, Tang Qiuli didn't want to waste time. This was the right time for business, and it would be too late, so he followed Oveshinski and walked towards the car. The staff of the military committee were anxious and hurried forward to block the way , "Vice Chairman, Director Yang of the General Office has prepared a guest room for the Vice Chairman at the hotel, where would you like to stay?"

Tang Qiuli looked coldly at these staff members whose body smell was obviously wrong. Even if you were a secret agent, even if you concealed his professional characteristics in the eyes of a veteran like Tang Qiuli, it would still be I can see the clues, but I don't know whether it is Chen Guofu's Central Command agent or Dai Li's Military Command agent. [

After Tang Qiuli looked at these people coldly, his tone became colder.Said: "Thank Director Yang for his kindness for me. Go back and tell him that the place to stay in Chongqing has been found. I am here purely privately to accompany the capital this time, so the military committee doesn't have to worry about me." Get into the car of the Soviet ambassador.

Several special agents who were temporary staff members of the Military Commission looked at each other. They did not expect that this young vice chairman was even more difficult to deal with than the legend said. It was the vice-chairman's eyes, which were enough to kill people, and he didn't know what to do, so he rubbed his hands anxiously and turned around.

While hesitating, there was a blur in front of his eyes, and a body like a hill approached them. A burly man looked at them with colder eyes than Tang Qiuli's. The murderous aura and the smell of iron-blooded soldiers exuded from his body made these people who would only secretly trouble themselves The agents felt nervous. Behind the big man, a dozen or so armed officers also looked at them unkindly.

These agents absolutely believe that as long as they take another half step forward, these military uniforms are obviously different from the officers of the Central Army, and they will make themselves into a sieve, especially this big man, the black line on his face has already burst out, and the copper bell There was already a fierce light in the big eyes, how could the agents dare to move half a step, and there was a chill in his heart, Jun secretly guessed, could this be the legendary Vice Chairman Tang's personal guard?All of them are cold-blooded killers with hundreds of Japanese lives?

The agents could only watch helplessly as Tang Qiuli's convoy sped away, disappeared at the corner of the airport, got into the car, and hurried back to report the news. These people were under the leadership of Chen Guofu. The other purpose is to interfere with Tang Qiuli's normal meeting with the Soviets.

In Chen Guofu's words: "Tang Qiuli can no longer be allowed to increase his strength. Private transactions with the Soviets are not good for the central government." Chairman Jiang did not know what kind of psychology he was in, and he acquiesced in Chen Guofu's arrangements, including today's airport. The deserted scenes were all written by Chen Guofu, just to embarrass Tang Qiuli in front of the Soviet and German ambassadors.
