Chapter 358: Something Happened in Yunnan

Qin Wei has been carrying out his great cause of "pit people", and is trying to continue to raise the level of this great cause to the level of "pit country".

Dwight. David. Eisenhower, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe during World War II, was cautious, considerate of the overall situation, cheerful, magnanimous, and good at coordinating all aspects of relations. When he became Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in Europe from a major general, he had no practical battlefield experience. Many of his British generals had more experience in battlefield command than him, and for this reason, generals such as Montgomery and Bradley despised him. At the same time, he had to deal with a British prime minister who liked to intervene directly in command on the battlefield. This caused him considerable difficulties. However, he managed to properly manage the relationship with the British, and succeeded in maintaining his authority as commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

From the landing in North Africa to the Normandy landings of Operation Overlord, Eisenhower reached the pinnacle of a military man. On the eve of the end of the European War, he was awarded the highest military rank in the United States, a five-star general, along with his mentors MacArthur and Marshall. When he returned to the United States in triumph from the European theater, he was greeted by thousands of empty alleys. During his visit to the Soviet Union in August 1945, he was the first foreigner to be invited to the reviewing stand on Lenin's tomb to stand with Stalin and watch a performance at the Soviet Sports Festival. Eisenhower was discharged from the Army in 1952 and was soon elected President of the United States, serving two terms until 1961. Although he did not enjoy much approval rating during his tenure, after 1980, his historical evaluation has become higher and higher, and he has been elected one of the ten greatest presidents of the United States for many years.

But at this time, Eisenhower was only a small colonel, and he was specially promoted for the identity of the head of this observation mission! Because in February of the beginning of the year, he was transferred to the 15th Infantry Regiment in California, when he was only a lieutenant colonel!

But. Because of Qin Wei's insistence, Eisenhower, who is still unknown, was brought to China ahead of schedule.

……

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

Eisenhower never imagined that he would one day go to China, and although he had worked as an assistant to MacArthur in the Philippines for several years, he felt like a dream when he was asked by the Chinese ambassador to become the head of the military observer mission. Later, he learned that the Chinese ambassador had also ordered Air Force Major General Henry Henry. Harry. Arnold, Brigadier General of a newly formed armored brigade of the Army, George Anderson. Patton, senior assistant to Army Chief of Staff Marshall. Nelson. Colonel Bradley and a number of other officers. Unfortunately, President Roosevelt and those senior officials of the US military detected the "ill-intentioned intentions" of the Chinese and decisively chose to shake their heads. That's when he was promoted to colonel.

Eisenhower knew very well that as long as he performed well in China, he would at least be able to retire with the rank of major general when he returned. So, he especially cherished this opportunity. They didn't even think to show their American pride in front of Chinese...... A fifty-year-old lieutenant colonel, he became a colonel when he had a good opportunity. What is there to be proud of? So he was very kind. Also very modest.

"I thought it was Chennault who came back. How did this guy get mixed up? So old, just a colonel? ”

Eisenhower did not know Chinese, and although he was studying the way here, he still felt like he was listening to the book of heaven when he listened to Feng Yuxiang's strong Shaanxi accent...... However, seeing Feng Yuxiang's warm smile, he also returned a friendly smile.

"Brother Huanzhang. Don't underestimate people. Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly and glanced at Feng Yuxiang, "This time, in addition to the members of the U.S. military observation group selected by themselves, there are many people who are the best soldiers selected by Qin Wei in the entire American army based on intelligence. It is a pity that Roosevelt saw the power of the German blitzkrieg and ordered the whole United States to step up the manufacture of aircraft. What was the original name of the ......?"

"Arnold!" Dai Lian leaned into his ear and whispered.

"Yes, Arnold! There is also a Patton, who is either organizing the construction of aircraft, or is busy forming the Americans' own armored forces, and the rest are also some troop commanders, and the Americans are reluctant to do so. Only then did this Colonel Eisenhower be selected......" Chiang Kai-shek paused for a moment, and then said: "Don't underestimate him, you think that people are not young before they are promoted to colonel, Qin Weike said that the members of the observation group he designated, no one else can be reached, but this Eisenhower must arrive!" This man's abilities are no worse than their Army Chief of Staff Marshall! ”

"Qin Wei is still accurate in looking at people." He Yingqin couldn't help but look at Eisenhower twice. Just such a guy who was promoted to colonel at the age of fifty can be as talented as the chief of the general staff of the US Army? If that's the case, what does Qin Wei mean by having to hug people to China?

"The Chief of Staff of the Army of the United States, in terms of rank, is not much worse than Brother Jing." After listening to Chiang Kai-shek's words, Bai Zhengxi was also full of curiosity about Eisenhower, and his eyes were full of scrutiny. Qin Wei never talked nonsense about business, they all knew it well. Since that kid thinks that the Eisenhower in front of him is no worse than Marshall, then nine times out of ten, Eisenhower is at least a general's talent. Such a person is fifty years old and hasn't gotten a general yet? The situation in the United States seems to be choking enough.

"Therefore, I have invited Colonel Eisenhower to join us in this meeting to discuss how to deal with this Japanese offensive!" Chiang Kai-shek glanced at everyone with a pretended majesty, "Wenbai, you first explain to everyone the arrangement of the Japanese." ”

"Yes."

Zhang Zhizhong also took a deep look at Eisenhower first, and then walked to the end of the conference room, opened the curtain, and revealed the map that had already been hung.

*******************************************************************************************************

"You're getting marriedβ€”β€”?"

The best person who can coordinate the British and American armies in the future is being "tested" by the Chinese Military Commission headed by Chiang Kai-shek at this moment...... He intended to keep Eisenhower until after the victory of the war. As for whether the Allies in Europe would get into trouble because of the lack of such a supreme commander who is good at coordinating relations, that was not in his consideration. There are also many people in Britain and the United States, so there can't be only one Eisenhower, right? Of course, if someone as capable as Eisenhower didn't get that opportunity. That has nothing to do with him Qin...... Anyway, the cooperation is not going well, just fight a few more battles and run in. If it really doesn't work, then work with the Germans for two more years, which can be regarded as deepening the influence of World War II, lest the Yankees will not remember the lessons in the future, and they will always toss here and make trouble there......

However, Qin Wei was still excited. Because this is the first time he has really felt the comfort that changed the course of the entire history of World War II.

He needed someone to share that excitement.

So, finding a place where there was no one, he dialed Gu Changjun's phone, but ......

"Who are you marrying from? It can't really be one of my great-granddaughters, right? ”

heard the news that Gu Changjun reported to himself. Qin Wei was not happy for his old friend at the first time, but a kind of loss...... A kind of loss of someone who has stolen something dear.

"I won't be inhuman enough to bully the younger generation, not your great-granddaughter." Gu Changjun was very lazy after his words, and he felt a little unreasonable. Come to think of it, anyone is always being urged to provide all kinds of information. I also feel tired when I have to go to the library to constantly consult various historical materials. Especially since what you find may be different every time. Even something that was found out at the last moment. The next moment it was suddenly different, and I had to start all over again...... This experience is enough to tear the nerves of many people. Gu Changjun felt that his ability to survive until now was the reason for his extremely tenacious personality.

"It's good if not." Qin Wei sighed: "But just your piece of material, those rich people shouldn't be able to look down on it, right?" ”

"You just say that I can only marry a girl like you, don't you get tired of turning around?" Gu Changjun was annoyed: "I tell you, I didn't marry your great-granddaughter, my old sons have risen." Going to be your grandson-in-law! ”

"What?" Qin Wei screamed.

"What's there? Lao Tzu has taken a fancy to your granddaughter, that's it. ”

"Why didn't you see you having this problem before? How old is my granddaughter, and you have this habit? Qin Wei couldn't help but exclaim.

"Don't underestimate yourself." Gu Changjun seemed a little proud, "Your Qin family has a big business. It is inevitable that there will be people who are younger...... The buddy is young and golden, and he is the chairman of a big museum, and he is also a serious figure in the cultural world, so he is naturally favored by the little girl. Tell you, your granddaughter, who is about to become your sister-in-law, is only twenty-one years old this year, and she is as beautiful as a flower, not to mention, but also gentle and considerate...... I don't thank God anymore, just thank you for leaving such a granddaughter for me. ”

"You...... What is my granddaughter who is about to become my sister-in-law? You, you're messing around, do you know what's going on? I disagree! It's going to be messy in this generation. Qin Wei shouted.

"It's messy. Lao Tzu is not the same surname as you. Gu Changjun didn't care at all, "You just treat us as a match for young and old." ”

"Worthy of your second master! I'm her grandfather, I don't agree, this marriage is ...... Oh, by the way, you haven't told me what my granddaughter's name is? ”

"Qin Xianglian!"

β€œοΌŸ ……”

"Teasing you, I'm not a fool, how can I tell you your sister-in-law's name now, what if you lose it? …… You say you're too, and an Eisenhower deserves to make a special phone call to celebrate? If you have the ability, you can get the United States back to the thirteen states. See you again ......"

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Holding the mobile phone, he kept yelling more than a dozen times, but no sound from Gu Changjun came from inside. Qin Wei stayed for a long time before he sighed, scolded "uncle" at his mobile phone, and then sorted everything out before he walked out again. And just when he walked out of Lu for a while, he was about to find a cup of tea by himself, and while tasting it, he carefully calculated his relationship with Gu Changjun, Zhou Tian came to his side with a cold face.

"What's wrong?" Qin Wei asked.

"I'm afraid we'll have to go back to Kunming! Something happened in Yunnan! (To be continued......)
