The mountain city of Chongqing on Chinese New Year's Eve has long been shrouded in night, and the sound of firecrackers and children's cheers from time to time have given the city a touch of warmth, and Zhao Zhi and Luo Lin, who are still dressed in uniform, are accompanying Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling in the South Bank villa for Chinese New Year's Eve. This year is different from previous years, the children of the Jiang family are not in Chongqing, and there are only Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling in the huge South Bank villa, and the arrival of Zhao Zhi and Luo Lin has given the atmosphere of the New Year here.

It's been another year, looking at Song Meiling and Luo Lin, who were directing the guards to decorate the dining room, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was a year older. "Boyuan, do you have any plans for the New Year? Can't always nest in that ghost place in Burma, where the pattern is too small, it's not good for you and thunder" At this time, Chiang Kai-shek, who was sitting on the sofa, was not like a government leader, and he talked to Zhao Zhi like an elder in the family, but the slight sorrow in his words was heard by Zhao Zhi.

Before signing the agreement with the Nationalist Government, Zhao Zhi had privately expressed to Chiang Kai-shek that he would no longer participate in the domestic battlefield, and the excuse Zhao Zhi made for this was that he could not adapt to the factional struggle in the Nationalist army. Chiang Kai-shek himself knew the problems in the national army, and he wanted to use Zhao Zhi to help him reintegrate the national army, but the national army was also a place that paid attention to seniority, and Zhao Zhi could fight and win battles, but his qualifications and age were obviously a hard injury, and even Chiang Kai-shek could not give Zhao Zhi enough support and help.

"There is no specific plan yet, the current thing is to speed up the training of the newly recruited Burmese, and then there is the refinery on the side of Ringanqiang to speed up the construction, and strive to keep up with the oil supply as soon as possible" Zhao Zhi knew the meaning of Chiang Kai-shek's words, but he still tactfully changed the topic and shifted Chiang Kai-shek's attention to oil supply. The roads that Zhao Zhi asked the Burmese guerrillas to renovate were completed by the end of the year, the railway line was almost finished, and the biggest project at the moment was the construction of several new oil refineries in Ringanqiang.

"Well, the oil refinery is to pay attention, this war is to fight logistics, and most of the mechanized troops under your hands are planes, tanks, and trucks all need fuel, if this oil can't keep up, your mechanization won't work" Chiang Kai-shek suffered a lot of losses in logistics, so when Zhao Zhiyi talked about logistics supplies, the old man talked endlessly.

"Are the thousands of British soldiers you saved from the Japanese still obedient? This British people look down on us Chinese in their bones, they always think that they are gentlemen and nobles, don't look at Britain has been defeated by Germany, but these big noses are rotten mouths" Chiang Kai-shek and Zhao Zhi chatted about Burma and somehow pulled on those British prisoners of war under William's department. Zhao Zhi had already understood how long the military commander's hand was, so he only smiled at Chiang Kai-shek's talk about the British prisoners of war.

"It's okay, I don't have a title of Duke of England now, the British are quite arrogant, but they still identify with the nobility, and my title of Duke was awarded by their royal family himself. The British government-in-exile has gone to Australia, they don't listen to me, they have no food, these British are arrogant, but they are not stupid" Zhao Zhi said that he was happy first, Yan Wudao went back to rectify William, when they used to starve, only two days of effort, William's 5000 British troops were starved into soft-footed shrimp.

"It's better to be careful, Japan is now mixed with the British, you put so many British troops by your side, you must pay attention to them colluding with the Japanese army again" Regarding the current situation in Burma, Zhao Zhi has never concealed Chiang Kai-shek, even if he doesn't say it, the military intelligence officers lurking in Burma will also transmit information back to Chongqing once a day.

"Eat, don't talk about the two of you" Song Meiling, who was already sitting in the dining room, softly called Chiang Kai-shek and Zhao Zhi, who were chatting, and the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve was only Chiang Kai-shek, Song Meiling and Zhao Zhi, who barely accompanied Chiang Kai-shek to drink two glasses of Shaoxing rice wine, and Zhao Zhi lost the interest in drinking. It can be seen that Chiang Kai-shek has something on his mind, but Zhao Zhi is already planning to stay out of the matter, no matter how incompatible the Chinese Nationalist Government is, Zhao Zhi plans not to participate, so he can only pretend to be stupid tonight.

"Let's not take the car, you can go with me" At the end of the family banquet, Zhao Zhi and Rowling refused to stay in the South Shore Villa, and as soon as the convoy left the South Shore Villa, Rowling asked the mercenary who was driving to stop the car. The sparkling lights bloomed warmly in the night, Luo Lin pulled Zhao Zhi to walk on foot on the streets of Chongqing, Luo Ying and Chrissy had to pretend to be passers-by and surround them, although Chongqing is a national control area, but there are still many lurking Japanese spies, and the necessary guards are still indispensable.

"You don't seem to be happy tonight? Madame Jiang asked me to tell you, if you are tired, take a good rest" Rowling, who was bouncing on the stone path, turned to look at Zhao Zhi, this exotic woman made Zhao Zhi feel that she was an empathetic night elf at this moment. It seems that his performance at the dinner table just now is too obvious, not only Song Meiling, maybe even Chiang Kai-shek can see the irritability in his heart, thinking about Chiang Kai-shek's reaction when he refused to stay overnight just now, Zhao Zhi feels that he has done something wrong.

Zhao Zhi stretched out his hand and took Rowling smiled and kissed Rowling on the forehead, "I'm not upset, it's just that I'm thinking about things, Eugene's side hasn't been in contact with this side for three months, I'm wondering if something happened to them" The operation executed by Eugene is very risky, second only to the infiltrator operation against the Japanese mainland in Zhao Zhi's entire ultimate plan, and suddenly lost contact for three months, which made Zhao Zhi a little worried.

Luo Lin is not a hairy boy like Luo Ying, Zhao Zhi interrupted Eugene's affairs, and he couldn't get through it. Before Zhao Zhi's words fell, Luo Lin pinched the soft flesh on his waist with his hand, as soon as Luo Lin's killing move came out, Zhao Zhi immediately showed his timidity, looking at Zhao Zhi's jumping feet, Luo Ying and Chrissy all held back their laughter and endured very hard. "Do you dare to lie to me, say, will you dare next time?" Rowling pinched Zhao Zhi's cheek with her hand, and she had to squeeze Zhao Zhi's face into a wrinkled shape, at this time, Zhao Zhi had no command on the battlefield at all, and the whole was a wrapper who was tortured by Rowling.

After making trouble on the street with Rowling for a while, Zhao Zhi's heart felt much better, and despite Rowling's strong objections, he returned to the Thunder Training Camp in Geyue Mountain by car. Before the third attack on Shanxi, Zhao Zhi left dozens of injured and recovered mercenaries here as instructors in the training camp, and the military commanders and the national army have been sent here for training one after another, and the youngest of the wounded mercenaries left by Zhao Zhi is now a captain.

"Edamame, you kid can do it, this is all a major, not bad, not bad" Yan Wudao grabbed a familiar mercenary in the queue and praised the mercenary who was wearing a national army uniform and wearing the rank of major. Most of these mercenaries who were left behind in Geyue Mountain were disabled from their injuries and could be transferred to the national army and wear officers' clothes, which Zhao Zhi agreed. But now that the Thunder has conquered Burma, Zhao Zhi wants to ask if this group of mercenaries is willing to go to Myanmar to continue training recruits.

There is a time limit for the Jews to help Thunder fight, half of the five-year period has passed, the Burmese guerrillas are unreliable, and the combat effectiveness of the newly formed Burmese mercenary army is too poor, and the only thing Zhao Zhi can really rely on at present is the mercenary force. Zhao Zhi now has the title of duke issued by the British royal family, and it is natural to govern and build Burma, and Zhao Zhi now has time to expand and train the mercenary troops, and the mercenaries of Geyue Mountain and Qinglongping will be recalled to Burma to expand their strength.

Zhao Zhi's abnormality at dinner at the South Bank Villa was precisely because of this incident, Thunder and the Nationalist Government signed an agreement to send troops to help the war, but Zhao Zhi only supported the Nationalist Government with the Burmese mercenaries and fighter troops, which can really be regarded as the mercenary troops of the Thunder Warriors, but Zhao Zhi wanted to take back Burma without pulling it. Zhao Zhi just didn't know how to mention this to Chiang Kai-shek, so when he was eating dinner, he showed a trace of restlessness and abnormality.

"You have to think clearly, this time I went to Myanmar with me, and it will be difficult to wear this dress again" All the mercenaries in the Geyue Mountain training camp gathered together to listen to Zhao Zhi's instructions, their bodies are more or less disabled, take off their official clothes and follow Zhao Zhi to Myanmar, this is not a simple decision, Zhao Zhi needs to make sure that the people who follow him are voluntary.

"I'll go" The mercenary who was called edamame by Yan Wudao immediately took off his national army uniform and threw it on the table, "Although this Geyue Mountain training camp is good, it is not a serious thing after all, I still like to stay with my brothers" Edamame's words were an introduction, which instantly ignited the emotions of these mercenary instructors, and the military uniforms on the table piled up more and more, and even some impatient mercenaries directly threw the military uniforms they took off on the ground.

"Go down the mountain and drink, let's go" The mercenary instructors who rushed out of the conference room started the military vehicles in the garage, ignored the obstruction of the vigilant gendarmes, and followed Zhao Zhi and their car into the city and went straight to the hotel that Zhao Zhi had already set for a drink. "Look at the good things you have done" Looking at the mercenaries who had already drunk, Luo Lin complained vigorously about Zhao Zhi, the initiator, because even the youngest Luo Ying was poured a lot of wine by edamame.

"They are all too tired, let them indulge, it's rare to have such an opportunity" Looking at the mercenaries who were still holding wine bottles, Zhao Zhi smiled very happily. With them, Thunder can continue to grow and develop, and with them, Zhao Zhi's final plan can be realized, in Zhao Zhi's heart, these drunken and nonsense men are his siblings, and they should exist in his future.
