Chapter 1296 Dirty Deals
Having the monkey drive the jeep to send Jimmy and Stanko back to the Flying Army's station, Konning re-entered the venue, where the reporters were in the middle of a question-and-answer session. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At this time, the fat man was still napping in his seat, and the reporters present saw him napping, and heard Brigadier General Lauren, who answered the questions of other reporters next to him, recount the battle between last night and the early morning, and they knew that the fat Chinese general had not closed his eyes all night, and was still supervising the repair of the fortifications during the day, and they could not bear to disturb his napping at this moment.
Brigadier General Lauren had not objected to Captain Standin's words before, indicating that the Englishman had also been instructed by Lieutenant General Slim to conceal the truth.
So he didn't want to go, this robbed everyone else's credit, and no one could bear it, but this Chinese fat man just endured it, and when he saw that the fat man was napping, he hurriedly took on the heavy responsibility of dealing with reporters.
Of course, all the answers to the reporter's questions were based on the answers of the British and Burmese army, and the flying army was just a friendly army and a soy sauce player in the answers of these British generals.
As soon as the press conference ended, the fat man's eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were full of essence, which made Brigadier General Lauren next to him blush, and felt even more guilty.
"General Liu, come to my mansion for dinner in a while, and I have to toast you to save my subordinates in the battle!" Lieutenant General Slim was in a high mood, and when the meeting ended, he said to the fat man who was about to walk out of the venue.
This press conference on the defense of Ringanqiang and the attack on the 18th Division of the Japanese Army has successfully accomplished his purpose, and the headline on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper is Lieutenant General Slim, who will soon become the god of war and hero of the Great Yin Empire.
All the people of the Great Yin Empire will remember him Slim, and his name will forever be recorded in the annals of history.
This will be so good, although there are some small episodes during the period, but it is not enough to affect any ending, he should thank this Chinese fat man for his cooperation.
"Your Excellency the Lieutenant General's kind invitation, the fat man is very honored!" The fat man smiled, he also intended to talk to Slim alone, since Slim took the initiative to invite him, it was still alone, he wished to do so.
Lieutenant General Slim's mansion has been cleaned up, although the bombing of the little devils was taken care of last time, but this is not a military target, the damage is limited, a few days of effort, Slim's adjutant led people to repair this place, and now it is used again.
At the same time, the front yard of this house is used as the headquarters of the British and Burmese army, and it is always a little inconvenient to use it as a headquarters in the flight barracks area.
The fat man took Kong Ning back to the camp of the flying army first, and took a look at the two wives and Uncle Biao, and then let him drive to Slim's mansion in person.
After passing through the British GIs on duty at the gate, the fat man entered the temporary headquarters of the Anglo-Burmese army, and then passed through the temporary headquarters to the mansion of Lieutenant General Slim.
At this time, Lieutenant General Slim, who had been briefed, personally came out to greet him and then took him to the cafeteria.
At this moment, a variety of wines and dishes are ready on the table.
Perhaps Lieutenant General Slim also wanted to talk to him privately during this meal, and he didn't bring any entourage, only him and the fat man, and a Filipino maid who was in charge of pouring wine.
The guest and the host sat down, the Filipino maid poured the wine, and Slim raised the glass with red wine, raised it at the fat man, and said, "General Liu, I really have to thank you for what happened just this afternoon." ā
The fat man raised his wine glass, touched the glass with Lieutenant General Slim, and said with a smile: "Doesn't Your Excellency the Lieutenant General understand the purpose of the fat man's this?" ā
"Of course I know, but I am suspicious in my heart, and I am afraid that General Liu's conditions are too high, so I invited you to come here in private to see what General Liu needs?" Lieutenant General Slim pursed his lips, moistened his throat, and said.
"What the fat master needs, he will naturally mention it to His Excellency the Lieutenant General when he needs it." The fat man shook the wine glass in his hand, looked at Slim with a smile, then brought the wine glass under his nose, sniffed, and a smell of red wine came to his nose.
Lieutenant General Slim's heart suddenly burst out, he was afraid that the fat man would play this hand with him!
Think about it, two New York Times reporters who have real ideas, even if his fat junior can control two American reporters now, but in the future, these two American reporters will be a barrel of explosives that can explode at any time, and when the time comes, he may be ruined.
The most important thing is that this fat junior from China actually acquiesced in his forcible occupation of the credit for defending Ringanqiang, although it has not broken out now, but in a few years, because of his "outstanding" performance in Myanmar, the lieutenant general may have become a general, or has entered the core of the government.
At that time, once this matter is revealed, it will be a scandal, then he will be miserable.
The higher a person climbs, the heavier he falls, and Lieutenant General Slim knows this very well.
What is this to threaten with this, just promise him, he is afraid that this matter will be exposed.
Looking at the fear and fear in Lieutenant General Slim's eyes, the fat man smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, as long as Your Excellency Lieutenant General can meet the fat man's requirements, there will never be a truth about this matter." ā
"How can you guarantee it?" Lieutenant General Slim asked hurriedly.
Now, this dinner has completely become a transaction.
"The fat man is principled, this point, Your Excellency the Lieutenant General can rest assured, besides, the fat man has not put forward the conditions yet, you don't need to worry about the matter being revealed, as long as Your Excellency the Lieutenant General keeps his promise, and the British and Burmese troops led by His Excellency the Lieutenant General defend Ren'anqiang, this is the truth, the truth forever!" The fat man said categorically.
Lieutenant General Slim thought about it, and he was right, if the truth of the defense of Ringanqiang was revealed, he would fall, and the fat man would not get any benefit, and when the time came, both sides would be defeated, and this fat man was so shrewd that he would never do such a stupid thing.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!" Lieutenant General Slim figured out the crucial question, laughed, raised his glass again, and said to the fat man.
"That's a must!" The fat man picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Lieutenant General Slim, and laughed.
A dirty deal was done, and of course, Lieutenant General Slim did not know the conditions of the fat man, and of course the fat man did not take the initiative to say it.
The only thing Lieutenant General Slim knew was the fat man's explanation that "the time has not come".
Of course, Lieutenant General Slim has already received tangible benefits, and the British-Burmese army, which led the five scum of the war, has already won two honors in Ringanqiang, and he has received the news that he is considering using the battle in Ringanqiang in Burma as a model to promote it throughout the army and encourage the British army in Europe and Africa to fight hard.
He is also very likely to be promoted, so he needs more "victories" in Ringanqiang and Myanmar to lay the foundation for promotion......
