Lawrence followed Catherine to Yangjiang, Guangdong, where the headquarters of Sun Weiguo's 47th Group Army was established.

Hearing that Lawrence had come here, Sun Weiguo hurriedly walked out with a group of staff officers, and Lawrence in a suit was standing outside, and he was looking around.

And after Sun Weiguo walked out, Catherine, who was standing not far from Lawrence, had already picked up her camera and took a photo of Sun Weiguo directly.

Glancing at Catherine, Sun Weiguo smiled helplessly, he came directly to Lawrence and stretched out his right hand.

"Welcome back to China, Mr. Lawrence." Because Lawrence was wearing a suit and secrecy, Sun Weiguo did not call Lawrence a general.

"General Sun Weiguo, you really shocked me, although I am far away in the United States, but since you started the war, I have always been following the war situation. Do you know? In our place, at the beginning, no one would have thought that you would win, even if I thought you would be defeated by the Japanese under the city of Canton, but you didn't, not only did you not be defeated, but you wiped them out cleanly, which is really admirable. ”

Lawrence held Sun Weiguo's right hand, and he said with an expression of admiration on his face.

After Sun Weiguo's troops were transferred to fight in Guangdong in the Fourth Theater, the US military began to pay attention to it, and they quickly set up a research group.

Many U.S. generals began to analyze the operation, and they concluded that the Chinese forces might not be able to defeat the Japanese forces without naval and air support.

Even if the Chinese troops were able to advance to Canton, the Chinese troops would be held back by the strong Japanese defenses and eventually had to withdraw.

However, they were surprised by the outcome of the Battle of Guangzhou, and they never dreamed that the Chinese troops led by Sun Weiguo would finally achieve a complete victory.

The Chinese troops not only recovered Guangzhou, but also brought heavy casualties to the Japanese 21st Army, especially the total annihilation of its 18th Division and 38th Division, and the heavy damage to the Guards Mixed Brigade, the 104th Division, and the 106th Division, which made the US troops even more dumbfounded.

THEREFORE, BEFORE SUN WEIGUO COULD SPEAK, THE U.S. MILITARY TOOK THE LEAD IN AGREEING TO PROVIDE 40 US-MADE 155MM HOWITZERS TO THE 47TH GROUP ARMY.

Of course, this batch of American-made 155MM howitzers will not be assisted in the name of the United States, and they will donate in the name of overseas Chinese in the United States.

"General Lawrence, I have nothing to admire, but it is the loyal officers and soldiers who have really made the contribution, and without their bloody battles in front of me, I would not have been able to achieve such a feat. We won, but we will also have more than 20,000 families who have lost their sons, wives who have lost their husbands, children who have lost their fathers, and at least 10,000 families who will have to accept that their loved ones have become disabled. ”

Sun Weiguo faced Lawrence's praise, he said with a serious expression on his face, at this time there was no smugness on his face, full of sadness.

The United States is not a saint, Sun Weiguo knows this very well, until now the United States is still selling all kinds of resources to the Japanese army, and even some bombs are directly produced from the United States.

They are now aiding Sun Weiguo, definitely not for any justice, but they know that from Sun Weiguo, they can get an armored force, which is what they need, because Japan and the United States know very well that this battle will definitely not be a simple two battlefields in Europe and Asia, and this battle will affect the whole world.

The United States would have thrown themselves into combat at the right opportunity, but before that could do so, they needed to develop an armored force that could rival the Germans.

And the only one who can help them do this is Sun Weiguo, at least the Germans will definitely not help them do this.

"General Sun, I sympathize with you for this, and I will try my best to fight for medicine for you when I go back." Lawrence nodded and said.

What Sun Weiguo meant in his words, Lawrence was very clear, he knew what Sun Weiguo wanted to say.

But Sun Weiguo didn't say these words directly, and Lawrence wouldn't break them directly, otherwise the two of them would be very embarrassed.

Sun Weiguo invited Lawrence to the General Headquarters, and he began to negotiate with Lawrence.

Previously, the US military observation group was dispatched, but the US military only gave Sun Weiguo some weapons assistance, which was regarded as a deposit.

Now that Sun Weiguo has recovered Guangzhou, he has taken the military observation group to experience a real combat drill of armored troops, and Sun Weiguo needs to pay tuition with Lawrence this time.

Those forty howitzers don't count, and Sun Weiguo won't be sent away by these forty howitzers.

"General Lawrence, the Japanese army will never be satisfied with struggling in the quagmire of China, they will do even more crazy things. I can guarantee that sooner or later they will go to war against you, and in the face of the fierce and cruel Japanese army, it will not be easy for you to defeat, and your assistance to us now is only to relieve the pressure for the future. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at Lawrence, and said with a serious expression on his face.

Lawrence nodded thoughtfully, the United States is not stupid, and they will not be naïve to think that they can avoid this big war.

They knew that sooner or later they would have to join the fight, and Japan was likely to be a difficult opponent for them.

So here in Sun Weiguo, they are willing to invest, and this time Lawrence came here, not only to discuss with Sun Weiguo about "paying tuition", but also to talk to Sun Weiguo, and continue to increase the number of US officers to join the military observation group, because they also need to understand this future opponent - the Japanese army!

Sun Weiguo and Lawrence negotiated in the General Headquarters, and Sun Weiguo directly gave Lawrence a large list of weapons, ammunition and munitions needed.

At the same time, Sun Weiguo also said that he needed to send certain personnel to the United States to study the air force and navy.

Now Sun Weiguo does not have air force and naval strength, but when the United States begins to enter the war, Sun Weiguo is confident that he can get these things.

"Chief Anderson, since you are here, I think you have a lot to say to Mr. Lawrence, and I will leave it to you here, I hope you can have a good conversation."

Sun Weiguo said his conditions, and Lawrence naturally couldn't answer directly, just at this time Anderson, the head of the military observation group, came here, Sun Weiguo called Anderson to Lawrence, he was going to let them talk about it, and he went outside.

He believed that Anderson would tell Lawrence about his situation here, and Lawrence would make a quick judgment.

After leaving the General Headquarters, Sun Weiguo moved his somewhat stiff body, and he glanced into the distance, with a complicated expression on his face.
