"If you don't want to be picked up by the boss, then hurry up and send a telegram and let them carry things."

Chen Jinghui knew when he saw Chief of Staff Chen's appearance, and he began to mumble in his heart, and he was a little scared.

"Yes, go right away." Chief of Staff Chen immediately turned around and sent a telegram.

In the next three days, after Chen Jinghui had dealt with all the things in Shanhaiguan, he left Shanhaiguan with the troops who changed guards. He came to Beiping, took a plane back to Jiujiang, and then transferred to Fengkou. The day after his return, he received a telegram from Commander Chiang.

"Commander, General Maher has arrived in Jiujiang, and he is expected to arrive here at noon." Early in the morning, Chief of Staff Chen told Chen Jinghui about Maher's situation.

"Well, it's so soon, I'm thinking it's going to be a few days!" Chen Jinghui was a little surprised, he didn't expect this Maher to be in such a hurry.

"Commander, let's see what we're going to do next." Chief of Staff Chen said.

"Leave this matter to the commissar! Someone, notify the commissar to come. ”

Chen Hu is the political commissar, and he should be responsible for receiving this kind of work, so Chen Jinghui went directly to him.

"Jinghui, what are you looking for me?" After a while, Chen Hu came over and asked.

"Uncle, at noon, General Maher of the United States is about to arrive, you go and arrange it." Chen Jinghui said.

"How can it be arranged so quickly, so in such a short time." Chen Hu said helplessly.

"Hehe, uncle, just arrange a place to eat and rest." Chen Jinghui said.

"Oh well! I'll go now, and I won't say it sooner. ”

Chen Hu felt very depressed, this kind of thing should have been notified to himself earlier. This will, in a few hours, people are going to arrive, and then say, isn't this chasing ducks to the shelves!.

The hours passed quickly, and it was soon eleven o'clock in the afternoon. Chen Jinghui received a notice that Maher and his party would be arriving soon. So he got dressed and stood at the gate of the headquarters with the people, ready to greet Maher and his party.

"Hello, General Maher, Nicetomeetyou."

Gradually, a black sedan drove towards the command headquarters, followed by two military vehicles guarding it. They stopped at the entrance of the headquarters and got out of the black sedan with a Yankee. Because there was only one foreigner, Chen Jinghui judged that it was Maher, so he immediately stepped forward and greeted him in English.

"Hehe, seeing you so young, I think you must be General Chen, hello General Chen." Maher replied instead in fluent Chinese.

"Hehe, it turns out that General Mahir's Chinese is so good, and he just made an ugly sacrifice under him." Chen Jinghui said modestly.

"Hehe, General Chen is polite, your English is also very good." Maher said.

"Hehe, General Chen, I didn't expect you to come too, welcome."

With Maher's politeness, Chen Jinghui saw Chen Cheng standing behind him, and immediately went over to greet him and shake hands to welcome him.

"Hehe, Commander Xie Chen is worried, everything is fine." Chen Cheng said.

"Hehe, that's good. Come on, come on, everyone inside, please. Chen Jinghui invited everyone to sit down in the living room.

"Hehe, you two must not have lunch yet, I'm ready here, please take a seat. Come on, serve. ”

Soon, the meal that had been prepared was served to the table, and there was everything from chicken, duck and fish. The rest is just some puffy vegetables, some cabbage, radishes and stuff like that.

"Hehe, come on, come on, two of you, please use it." The meals were ready, and Chen Jinghui invited everyone to move their chopsticks.

"Hehe, let General Chen break the bank, I salute General Chen, congratulations on your victory in Shanhaiguan."

Looking at the table full of food, Maher immediately stood up, and then raised his wine glass to Chen Jinghui, congratulating the flying fox on his victory.

"Hehe, thank you, General Maher, come, do it." Chen Jinghui tilted his neck and drank a glass of wine.

"General Chen has a good amount of wine, and I will also toast you to congratulate you on behalf of the government and Commander Chiang." Chen Cheng stood up and said.

"General Chen is polite, let's be a family and don't talk to each other, come, do it." Chen Jinghui drank it all again.

"Come on, come on, eat vegetables, eat vegetables." Chen Jinghui invited everyone to continue eating.

"General Chen, I came this time to congratulate you on this great victory, and I want to ask General Chen for help with other things." Maher said.

"Hehe, General Maher, let's eat first, and after dinner, we'll go to the conference room to talk." As soon as Chen Jinghui heard it, he knew that his guess was not wrong.

"Okay, thank you, General Chen." Maher said.

"General Maher, the food is up to your liking." After eating, Chen Jinghui asked.

"Verygood, very good, I love it." Maher said.

"Hehe, if you like it, if you like it, if you like it, please come here."

Chen Jinghui made a gesture of please, and then took Maher, Chen Cheng and others to a conference room.

"Everyone, please sit down, come here, watch the tea."

Everyone sat down in the conference room, and the soldiers quickly brought bananas, apples, sentences and other fruits on the table, and then served everyone tea.

"Thank you!" Maher thanked the warriors who served the tea.

"General Maher, I don't know why you're here this time." Chen Jinghui got to the point.

"General Chen, I think you know that the devils have already attacked Southeast Asia, and the offensive is very fierce, our allies the British have been forced to move, and the whole of Southeast Asia is about to be occupied by the devils. After they occupied those places, they burned and looted everywhere, and the local people were miserable. Maher said.

"Well, I know a little bit about that. Devils are like beasts, and when they go there, they can't change their eating. I can understand the pain point of your ally Britain at this moment, and I can also understand the pain point of the local people, after all, our China has also been invaded by devils. Chen Jinghui said.

"General Chen, you are so interested in fighting, and the devils in the Central Plains have been driven out by you. I'm here to ask General Chen to go out of the mountains to see if you can send troops to Southeast Asia and drive out those hateful devils. Maher said.

"General Maher, you're really kidding. In our Huaxia, there are many generals who are more powerful than me, such as this General Chen Cheng Chen is one of them. Then there are General Li Zongren, General Xue Yue, General Bai Chongxi, and General Peng and General Liu in Yan'an, all of whom are my predecessors. So, even if I go to Southeast Asia, it won't be my turn. Chen Jinghui said.

"NoNoNo, General Chen is modest, if you are not powerful, you will not be able to drive out the devils in the Central Plains." Maher said.

"Hehe, thank you, General Maher, for the compliment. I'll be honest with you! I'm not going to Southeast Asia, I can tell you for sure. Chen Jinghui said.

"Oh no, General Chen, we really need you now, and I ask you to consider our request again. As long as you are willing to go to Southeast Asia, we will bear all your expenses, and we can even pay you. Maher said.

"Hehe, General Maher, thank you for your kindness, but I really can't go. You see, my side has just recovered the Central Plains, and it has not yet been systematized. Besides, the devil now occupies the northeast of our China. We didn't take care of things at home, what do you say I'm going to do when I run out and do it. Chen Jinghui explained.

"General Chen, there are only a few devils in the Northeast, but there are millions in Southeast Asia. The people over there need you, and we need you. Maher said.

"General Maher, you don't have to say any more, this matter is not negotiable. Then again, even if you send troops to Southeast Asia, that's a matter for the government, and I, a general, can't be the master. Besides, I will never send troops abroad until I drive out all the devils in our Huaxia. Chen Jinghui said.

"General Chen Cheng, you can also help me tell me, we really need General Chen to send troops to Southeast Asia now." Maher said to Chen Cheng.

"This ...... General Chen, what General Maher said is very reasonable, there is indeed a great need for people to go there. Can you agree to them for the sake of the United States always supporting our Huaxia! Chen Cheng said.

"General Chen, I don't like to hear what you say. Tell me yourself, have I seen the aid of the United States, it is not all in your hands, I have not seen a single bullet. Now I think about me, where did I run before? Chen Jinghui said.

"This ...... It's all up to the commander-in-chief, and I can't help it. General Chen, you see that General Maher came to you so sincerely, and he is willing to avenge you, I think you will agree! Chen Cheng said.

"Since you can't be the master, then let the commander come to me. Also, since American friends are willing to take revenge, why don't you go? I'm anxious, you seem to have a lot of troops on the Southeast Asian border. Chen Jinghui's face changed.

"This ......"

Chen Cheng was stopped by Chen Jinghui. Chen Jinghui is right, there are indeed millions of troops on the side of their national army, and it is very close to sending troops in the past, so it is indeed difficult for Chen Jinghui to send troops from Jiangxi to Southeast Asia. Before adding the benefits of the United States, others really didn't see it at all, and it's really hard to say it yourself. So he could only keep his mouth shut helplessly.

"General Chen, you're thinking about it."

Seeing that Chen Cheng stopped talking, Maher was a little disappointed, but he still didn't give up and continued to ask Chen Jinghui.

"Hehe, it seems that we can't talk about it today, so let's rest and rest first! Come, take General Maher and them to rest. ”

Chen Jinghui didn't want to dwell on this issue, and seeing that they kept pestering this issue, he stood up directly and asked the guards to take them to rest, while he left the conference room directly and returned to his office.
