Crawford drove a dark green jeep down the street, and in the passenger seat sat Liao Liping, director of the Political Department of the 202nd Army.

After passing through several alleys, the car stopped in front of a house, Crawford turned off the car, pulled out the key, whistled and said to Liao Liping with a smile: "Mr. Colonel, this car is amazing, he is like a hard-working foal, no matter how rough you treat it, it will not complain, I think I have fallen in love with it, it would be better if I could get one back when I returned home." ”

Liao Liping laughed: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, this request of yours has stumped me, this car is the public property of the 202nd Army, I have no right to give it to you, if you really like it, I can try to talk to Chief of Staff Zhou, who is in charge of the training and materials of the troops." ”

"Zhou ...... Forget it. Hearing this, Crawford shook his head repeatedly, "I'd rather buy this car out of my own pocket than look at his face that is always just an expression." ”

"Hahaha......" Liao Liping couldn't help laughing, Zhou Yusheng's poker face and upright temper were well-known in the 202nd Army. After all, Huaxia pays attention to the golden mean, and the officialdom pays more attention to harmony with the light and dust, hello, hello, hello, everyone, but Zhou Yusheng's serious temper is an outlier in the 202nd Army, so that now the commanders of the divisions below see him like a mouse seeing a cat, for fear of being picked out by this guy, even Crawford, the Yankee, can't stand it.

While they were talking, they had already entered the house, returned the salute to the two guards standing at the door, and the two entered a room one after another.

"Salute!"

When the two of them entered the room and saw the people standing inside, they saluted a standard military salute at the same time.

"Sit down!"

That person is a Caucasian man in his forties, with a height of 1.78 meters, a slightly chubby figure, and a friendly smile on his face, which also makes people's first impression of him quite favorable, he is the US Ambassador Plenipotentiary to China Jensen.

I saw Jensen smile and came over and shook hands with the two of them, and after the three sat down separately, Jensen first said to Liao Liping in Chinese: "Colonel Liao, first of all, I want to thank you for taking care of me, so that I can have a comfortable environment to rest when I get off the plane." ”

Liao Liping said politely: "You are too polite, this is what I should do, but is it really good that you rejected General Su's arrangement?" ”

Jensen shrugged: "I'm sorry, but there is no way, I still have something to discuss with Crawford before meeting with General Su, so I can't follow his arrangement, and I have to ask you to explain this to General Su." ”

Liao Liping smiled bitterly when he heard this, how could he, the director of the political department who was parachuted, be able to manage this kind of thing, and it would already be very face-saving if people didn't throw his face at him.

Maybe after staying in Huaxia for four years, Jensen also has some understanding of Huaxia's national conditions, he looked at Liao Liping's helpless expression and showed a look of understanding: "Of course, I can also understand your difficulties, if it is inconvenient for you, I will personally explain to General Su tonight." ”

"I am very grateful for your understanding." Hearing this, Liao Liping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, for the now majestic military seat Liao Liping is now more and more in awe, as long as he thinks of this person who can throw nine tons of the world's most toxic poison gas on the heads of Japanese civilians without changing his face, Liao Liping feels a little chilled. From today's noon broadcast, the whole world knows the news that Su Jin poisoned more than 200,000 Japanese civilians with poison gas last night, and now I am afraid that the whole world will be shocked by his actions.

Seeing Liao Liping's somewhat unnatural face, Jensen thought that the colonel was still worried about Su Jin's blame, and he comforted: "Mr. Colonel, you just did me a favor, General Su won't blame you for this matter, so you don't have to worry, now I still have something to discuss with Crawford, can you let us stay alone for a while?" ”

Liao Liping came back to his senses and quickly nodded: "Of course you can, you can continue, then I'll go back first." With that, he strode out of the room and closed the door with his hand.

Seeing the door of the room squeak shut, Jensen's originally smiling face slowly retracted, and a trace of seriousness appeared in his blue eyes, he looked at Crawford and asked lightly: "Lieutenant Colonel Crawford, you have been in the 202nd Army for more than a month, do you know the details of this unit?" ”

Crawford nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Ambassador, although I can't say all about it, at least I have a better understanding. ”

Jensen asked, "So what do you think is the combat effectiveness of this unit, and can it compete with the U.S. Army?" ”

"This ......" Crawford was stunned and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Ambassador, do you want to hear the truth?" ”

"Of course!" Jensen gave him an angry look, "Otherwise, do you think that I hurriedly took a plane to Hangzhou without even eating lunch to travel?" ”

"Well." Crawford pondered the words for a moment and said slowly, "I think it's better to say the other way around." ”

"Huh?" Jensen was stunned, "You make it clearer." ”

"You should ask, can the U.S. Army match this army."

"You ......" Jensen was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Crawford, do you know what you're talking about, are you saying that the army of the great United States of America is not as good as the army of this cowardly country?" ”

"But I'm telling the truth, Your Excellency!" Crawford said: "Since I came to this army, I have found that this army is very different from other armies in China, they are tenacious, brave, experienced in combat, and can resolutely complete the orders given by their superiors, even if this order is for them to be sent to death, they can do it without hesitation, and this is difficult for the army of our United States of America to compare." ”

"Is it true?" Jensen was still skeptical about this, and in the four years he had been in China, he had seen too many Nationalist Army units that were about to collapse at the touch of a Japanese army, and now he naturally didn't believe it when he heard Crawford praise a unit so much.

"Your Excellency, I know that you will have doubts when you say this, but I can vouch for my honor and more than ten years of military experience, everything I have said is true, and there is no exaggeration, this army is not only too low in cultural quality, I think they can even match the German Army in terms of combat effectiveness."

"Hiss......" Jensen couldn't help but gasp, the combat effectiveness of the German Army is one of the best in the world, Crawford actually commented on this army, doesn't this mean that this army can completely compete with the German Army, thinking of this, Jensen's face became a little unpredictable.

After pondering for a while, Jensen said, "Okay, put this matter aside for the time being, and let me tell you the purpose of my visit first." ”

Crawford shrugged his shoulders: "Mr. Ambassador, in fact, even if you don't say it, I can guess a few points, because of the matter of General Su throwing poison gas bombs on the Japanese, right?" ”

"Yes!" Jensen's expression became serious: "As early as this morning, the U.S. ambassador to Japan, Joseph Gru, who had arrived in Fukuoka, sent an urgent telegram to President Roosevelt, in which he called Fukuoka hell. Yes, it's hell, can you imagine a city with a population of more than 900,000 people dying more than 200,000 overnight, and more than 100,000 still fighting for death? Ambassador Ruger claimed that he had seen all the dead people he had seen in his life today, and that Fukuoka was now full of dead bodies. Now not only the United States, but also the United Kingdom, France, Germany and other countries have sent observers to Fukuoka to observe, this is also the first time in history that the military of one country has carried out a large-scale poison gas attack on the civilians of another country, many people are frightened, many people are frightened by this cruel and deadly poison gas, now do you understand the purpose of my visit? ”

"I think I get it." Crawford nodded, "I'm afraid those generals of ours are also interested in this poison gas, right?" ”

"Yes." Jensen smiled bitterly: "Although I personally hate this ugly murderous poison gas very much, I have to come here for it, just because those politicians and generals are interested in it." ”

"I can't help with that." Crawford shook his head, "As far as I know, that General Su is a very strong person, unlike other Huaxia people, he takes interests very seriously, if you don't have enough interests, I think it will be difficult for you to achieve your goals." ”

"Then we'll have to wait and see." Jensen stood up helplessly: "Okay, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, are you interested in accompanying me to visit that General Su?" ”

"Of course, that's my job, isn't it?"

Just as the two of them were driving to Su Jin's temporary headquarters in front, Zhou Yusheng was also in a daze at a large number of telegrams.

"Shhh...... It's a bit of a big deal now. Looking at the telegram in his hand, Zhou Yusheng's face, which had always been known as unchanged for thousands of years, also wrinkled into a bitter gourd face, and said helplessly: "It's just that Chairman Jiang scolds me, and now even the newspapers across the country are scolding me, it seems that now I have really become a rat crossing the street." ”

Su Jin, who was on the side, pouted: "As expected, have our countrymen always had a kind of Holy Mother feelings?" ”

"Our Lady's Feelings?" Zhou Yusheng looked at Su Jin puzzled.

"Uh...... This Virgin's feelings, it's ......" Su Jin remembered that there was no such thing as a Virgin watch in this era, and as soon as he wanted to explain, a staff officer came to report, saying that the US Ambassador Plenipotentiary to China was visiting.

When Su Jin heard this, his originally calm face also showed a look of helplessness, "Look at it, bigger trouble is coming!" (To be continued.) )
