It is undeniable that in terms of strategic vision, General MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the US military in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, is a competent commander-in-chief, he saw the ambitions of the Japanese, and he was deliberately trying to nip the ambitions of the Japanese in the bud.

Stilwell did not agree with MacArthur's assertion in his heart, in his opinion, even if the United States did not actively seek a channel for the Chinese and Japanese to fight to the death in Burma, with the current relationship between the two countries, it would be an endless situation, why should we go to great lengths to promote this matter, wouldn't it be better to go with the flow? ”.

MacArthur saw the slightest disapproval in Stilwell's eyes, and the fire that had just been suppressed burned again, and said in a sharp voice: "Dear General Stilwell, you don't know the Eastern peoples, especially the Japanese and the Chinese, judging from the results of several battles between the Japanese and the Chinese in the Indochina Peninsula, the Japanese are not Tang Qiuli's opponents. ”

"Remind the general that since the Japanese began the war against China in 1937, several years have passed, and the Japanese have not only failed to achieve the expected goals, but have lost their original advantages; in North China, Songhu, and even the recent Battle of Western Yunnan, the Japanese troops have been expelled from Chinese mainland, and the battlefield has been transferred outside China."

"This is a clear signal that the Japanese are no longer able to attack Chinese mainland, because there is a Tang Qiuli, his strength can already affect the situation in Southeast Asia, as far as the current situation in Myanmar is concerned, I am not optimistic about Japan's dispatch of troops in Southeast Asia." Their plan to occupy the entire Indochina Peninsula had failed before the Japanese had suffered a heavy blow, if the Japanese were aware of it. In the face of Tang Qiuli's troops, they have no hope of winning, so, please use your brain, where will the next target of the Japanese be? ”

"Could it be that they just went around and went back to Tokyo to eat sashimi? Come on. Your staff is focusing more on the Japanese! Once the Japanese make a move on us, I don't want to cause heavy losses to our American ** team because of the sluggishness and short-sightedness of the General Staff," because of excitement. MacArthur's face was flushed, like a patient with a high fever, and his eyes were shining, and Stilwell was extremely embarrassed by his superior's lesson.

The frightening prospect described by MacArthur almost jumped in shock. Although he did not have the strategic vision of MacArthur, he was somewhat convinced, quite simply, since the Japanese had done something to the British. The Americans, then, may not be their next target. His eyes widened as he looked at his boss as he circled around the floor. I was at a loss for a moment, this was a terrible prediction.

MacArthur didn't notice Stilwell, he was already immersed in sharp thinking, muttering to himself, "This danger must be stopped in advance, and the only one who can stop this danger is Tang Qiuli," Yes, in addition to Tang Qiuli's independent division, there is also that army, which can clean up Ito Yanzaburo's Japanese army.

British? The generals of the defeated army, who have long been beaten to the ground, cannot be counted on at all, otherwise, it is impossible to watch the Chinese occupy their original territory, and there is nothing to do, the Australians, even more so can not be counted on, I am afraid that even the British are inferior, as for the Americans themselves, the possibility of whether they can take the first step does not exist, not to mention, that is, the capital in their own hands, MacArthur knows better than anyone.

Therefore, this work of playing with the Japanese and eliminating the deadly threat of the Americans had to be done by the Chinese Tang Qiu, who was also the only person who could achieve MacArthur's goal, and he suddenly stopped and said to Stilwell, who was already ugly: "General Stilwell, if you stay in Manila, I will immediately fly back to China and lobby the military and political leaders in the country, even if they make some kind of gesture, they must sign such an agreement, otherwise, for us in the United States, we will face great danger." ”

Two days later, the Supreme Military Conference of the Allied Forces in China and the Southeast Asian Theater held a plenary meeting again, at which an agreement was signed on the joint resistance of the Allied Powers against the Japanese invading forces, which stipulated that within the scope of the Allied Powers, the Japanese army was the only combat target, and the Allied Powers had the obligation of mutual military assistance, that is, when a country or region was attacked by the Japanese, the other countries must unconditionally send troops until the Japanese army was eliminated or expelled.

Tang Qiuli put down his pen and smiled brightly, his goal was achieved, he dragged the Americans into the water, wanted to watch the fire from the other side, and dreamed, even if the Americans took any remedial measures in order to dispel the doubts of the Japanese, the Japanese wariness and hatred of the Americans could not be eliminated, and they would definitely do something to the Americans and add fuel to the fire, and this day would come soon.

There is no need to wait for the Japanese Navy to attack Pearl Harbor to start the Pacific War, and after the Japanese Army runs into a wall in the Indochina Peninsula, it will naturally stare at the Americans. With the power of the United States in the Luzon area, it was no match for the Japanese at all, and MacArthur was behind when he turned to himself for help.

MacArthur also smiled, and his goal was achieved, in exchange for a paper agreement, Tang Qiuli had to deal with the Japanese soldiers under Ito's department, but under careful observation, MacArthur's smile contained bitterness, as if this goal he had been pursuing, after being achieved, was not as sweet as expected, but mixed with bitter taste.

Perhaps, from the moment the agreement was signed, he was thinking about how to eliminate the impact of the agreement, how to repair relations with the Japanese, and in a word, how to convince the Japanese that this was just an agreement, and the Americans would never do anything to Japan! As hard as it was, MacArthur had to do it, and that's what he assured his country.

Tang Qiuli saw MacArthur's mixed smile, and secretly admired the activity energy of this Yankee, who could make the country revise its basic national policy, MacArthur's influence and energy in the United States was not small, and such an important meeting could be said to be in the East, and the heavy countermeasures against the Japanese forces should be something that should be vigorously promoted.

But at the scene, there was not a single reporter to interview, and the whole meeting seemed to be conducted in secret, as if it was a drug trade in the underworld, which was originally a righteous and bright thing, so that MacArthur did not dare to see the light, and the Americans wanted to be a bitch and wanted to set up a chastity archway, it seems that MacArthur did not want to hold a press conference.

In front of people all over the world to promote this great achievement, Tang Qiuli smiled secretly in his heart, "With the agreement in his hand, in black and white, MacArthur wants to keep a low profile, is it possible?" That's naïve! I can't even cover my ears and steal the bell, so I'll do it for me and make sure that the spirit of this meeting will be carried forward, and the people of the whole world will see the determination of the Americans and the Japanese to be incompatible. ”

On 18 September, after staying in Manila for five days, Tang Qiuli left Manila on a special plane escorted by US fighter jets and embarked on the journey back to China.

This Tang Qiuli gives people a sense of depression, too strong, MacArthur took the pipe off his mouth, and cursed secretly in his heart, "It's better if the plane crashes, or the Japanese send fighter jets to turn this Chinese villain into a cloud of smoke in the sky, in order to relieve the hatred in my heart, of course, after he is used." ”

"Otherwise, MacArthur would never have sent an escort formation of nearly a hundred fighter planes to escort Tang Qiuli to the predetermined airspace, waiting for his subordinates to come to greet him," Before the troops of the independent division did not kill the Japanese, or were killed by the Japanese, Tang Qiuli must not go on any business trip, which is also the only reason why Tang Qiuli is relieved to let the US fighter escort him.

Looking at the front and back of the special plane, left and right, densely packed, all of them were US fighter jets painted with white five-pointed stars, Shanhu was a little uneasy, "Xiaoqiu, why do you believe the Americans like this, I always feel that these guys are unreliable!" ”

Tang Qiuli shook his head and replied: "Huzi, at this time, the Americans are the most reliable, my value has not been utilized, the Americans absolutely do not want me to have an accident, you see, these American fighter pilots, how well-behaved, we can't live up to the good intentions of others, you don't see, even our Secretary Yang is stained." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Shanhu, Shanhu laughed, and said: "Xiaoqiu, looking at the Yankee named MacArthur, with an expression like eating a fly, I can't help but laugh, he is in love with you, but he is unlucky, from the Northeast to Manila, the person who calculates you has good fruit to eat?" ”

Mei Xue looked at these two men with a smile, where to fight, the five-day experience in Manila gave Mei Xue a deeper understanding of her husband, this man who walked into his heart and took deep roots, showed another side that he didn't know, and became clearer and more real, Mei Xue was intoxicated by her new discovery.

Yang Yongtai, who was mentioned by Tang Qiuli, was in another special plane, he was feeling a lot of emotion, compared to the fear when he came, the return trip was as relaxed and comfortable as sightseeing, the escort scale of nearly 100 fighters, there would be no problems, but Yang Yongtai knew in his heart that this kind of treatment was not for himself, he was just stained.

The dignified envoy of the head of state of the Republic of China, in the eyes of the Americans, is nothing, Yang Yongtai's heart, can not help but be greatly stimulated, no wonder the commission will hold on to the military power, which has its own arrogance, this trip to Manila, Yang Yongtai can be said to be empty-handed, what makes him distressed is, how to explain to the commission?

The South China Sea below the special plane was like an emerald, shining with a deep blue brilliance under the South China sun, and when the US escort plane group reached the center line of the South China Sea, it joined up with the Le Yiqin plane group that had come to escort the plane, and the US fighter planes returned home.

The number of fighters brought by Le Yiqin was so large that the US pilots looked straight in the eyes, and Tang Qiuli also shook his head secretly, "Le Yiqin, I'm afraid you didn't bring all the fighters of the Southern Flying Group?" ”
