Chapter 1105: One kneeling and jumping three levels
Jiang Haoran gasped and began to pace back and forth nervously in the room, he did not expect that the situation in the African battlefield was already so bad, once the Suez Canal was paralyzed, or even fell into the hands of the enemy, the entire Southeast Asia and China's supplies became very tight, and the next battle would be even more difficult to fight, of course, what was more afraid was that Africa would fall, and the pattern of World War II would be completely rewritten.

He also began to understand why Stilwell knew that the expeditionary force must be extremely dangerous, but he still had to do it, and in front of him, except for the expeditionary force to relieve the siege, the allies probably could not find a second way out.
also immediately understood that the Allied Command had also blocked the news to the outside world, and even Nimitz had not been informed of the situation, and he had originally suspected that Nimitz was calculating himself, but now it seems that he had wronged him, and the Allied forces had really reached the point where he had to send troops.
But at the same time, he also knew that once the expeditionary force left India, the entire western front would be a high-speed meat grinder, and countless officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force would be wrenched into it, and it would be difficult to fill the desires, and he could not do it in a reasonable way, but the current predicament ...... Alas, it's really hard for him to die.
After pacing back and forth in the headquarters for more than ten minutes, Jiang Haoran finally stopped, looking at Stilwell's eyes were unusually bright, and Stilwell, who had never dared to interrupt his train of thought, seemed to see a glimmer of hope and asked urgently: "Child, are you ...... Have you already thought of a solution? ”
Jiang Haoran said in a deep voice: "Old man, tell me the truth, if I have a way to make the Suez Canal disappear in the eyes of the German air force and ensure that the shipping channel is unimpeded, will the Allies be able to hold Omanra?" ”
"Yes, I can guarantee that as long as the supplies can be unimpeded, General Montgomery will be able to hold Amara, I absolutely guarantee it!" Stilwell was almost speechless with excitement, and his tone changed a little, but as soon as he finished speaking, the excitement on his face instantly froze and slowly turned into doubt, "But kid, you're joking with me, aren't you?" How could the Suez Canal Canal, which runs 190 kilometers from Port Said in the north to Suez City in the south, disappear in the eyes of the German Air Force? ”
Jiang Haoran said: "You just said that the Germans only bombed at night, right? ”
"Yes!" Stilwell nodded and said, "The anti-aircraft artillery on both sides of the canal during the day will definitely keep their planes from getting close. ”
"Okay, old man, as long as you follow my plan, I guarantee that the German bombing plan will be completely ruined."
After Jiang Haoran finished speaking, he ignored Stilwell, picked up the pen and paper from the table, sat down, and began to write and draw seriously, half an hour later, the pen was lost, he picked up a few pieces of paper that had just been written and drawn, handed it to Stilwell and said: "Old man, just do this, and the Suez Canal will be unimpeded tomorrow night." ”
When Jiang Haoran was writing, Stilwell stood behind him and watched the whole time, so he didn't need to continue to look at it again, and he didn't even reach out to pick up the paper handed over by Jiang Haoran, and his mouth was already suspicious: "This ...... This...... All right? ”
Jiang Haoran smiled, stuffed a few pieces of paper into Stilwell's hand, and said, "Believe me, old man, it will definitely work!" Be busy, I'll wait for your good news tomorrow night. ”
After Jiang Haoran finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the headquarters, but Stilwell was still standing in place in a daze, and the whole person was a little stupid.
As soon as Jiang Haoran went out, he saw his liaison officer, Miss Linda, at the door, as soon as he heard that Jiang Haoran had arrived in Imphal, Linda hurried over, and at this moment he saw Jiang Haoran's eyes were already shining and his face was full of excitement, "Commander-in-chief, I finally saw you again?" ”
"Hehe, it's Linda, are you blaming me for not coming to see you often?" Jiang Haoran looked at Linda with a smile instead of a smile.
"Oh, no, no, I didn't think so." Linda replied in a hurry, her face already flushed.
"I'm kidding you, don't be nervous!" Jiang Haoran said with a smile, his eyes looked at the towering on Linda's chest and suddenly couldn't take his eyes off, although it was only February, but the temperature in India was high, Linda was wearing the British military uniform in summer, and in the open collar, a white flower was about to come out, so that Jiang Haoran couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Ahem!"
Lin Long on the side let out a dry cough, Jiang Haoran's expression was grim, and he quickly returned to normal, and covered up: "Oh, Lin Long, come and introduce to you, this is ......"
Before Jiang Haoran finished speaking, Lin Long opened his mouth to interrupt, "No need, we have already met." ”
The voice was cold, obviously with dissatisfaction, Jiang Haoran plucked his head in embarrassment, and said: "In this way, the matter is done, let's go back, by the way, I want you to notify Gu and have you notified?" ”
Linda hurriedly replied: "Gu Yi has already arrived and is waiting for you at home." ”
"Alright, let's go home!" Jiang Haoran said and walked away, several members of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team opened the way in front, and a group of women hurriedly followed.
After going out and getting into the car, the convoy sped down the highway to Jiang Haoran's villa in Imphal.
The reason why Jiang Haoran ordered Gu Lian to come over to see him was because the chairman of the committee had said that he should not move Gu Lian, Jiang Haoran had to give this face, but he also needed to know Gu Lian's attitude.
As soon as Jiang Haoran entered the door, Gu Hetong was sitting straight in the living room, seeing Jiang Haoran enter the door, he quickly got up and saluted, Jiang Haoran waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mo San (Gu Yizi) brother is not polite, sit down!" ”
"Yes, Chief!" Gu sat down with a promise, his waist was straight, although he was in his fifties, he still had the momentum of a soldier.
Gu is regarded as a die-hard follower of the chairman, and has won the trust and preference of the chairman, and there is an interesting allusion to the relationship between the two: during the Whampoa Military Academy, one day, the chairman of the committee went to the playground early in the morning to gather all the teachers and students of the school to give a lecture, and when he saw that an officer was late, he inserted his loose military uniform into the team, and he couldn't help but get angry. I don't know if it was because of negligence, or if I wanted to give my subordinates a little color, but the headmaster walked away after finishing his lecture, forgetting the officer who was kneeling upright on the playground.
During the morning exercise the next day, the chairman of the committee came to the playground again, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a man kneeling stiffly on the playground, his head and back covered with a layer of hoarfrost. At first, the chairman of the committee was quite puzzled, I don't know what this person is kneeling there for. After questioning, the chairman of the committee learned that this was the officer who had been punished by himself for kneeling yesterday, and he was immediately moved to his heart, helped him up and walked to the principal's office, and also ordered the officer to be promoted from lieutenant to lieutenant colonel.
Since then, Gu Lian has also won the favor of the chairman of the committee, and has risen all the way, reaching the rank of second-class general and commander-in-chief of the theater.
