"The Wehrmacht naval officers who are now in the Naval Academy and the Naval Military Academy are doing very well, they are very studious and hardworking, which our instructors admire."

In Marshall's reception room, the gun man listened to the soft voice of the US chief of staff with a smile. From the summer of 1924 to the late spring of 1927, Marshall served as chief of staff at the 15th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army in Tianjin, where he learned Chinese.

Therefore, he and Pao Ye are communicating in Chinese.

"I need to thank you for that." Master Pao looked at Marshall and said in a deep voice: "Although our navy started not late, we really don't know enough about the form of naval warfare in the world. We lack the systematic learning and training that you provide us. ”

"We never forget the help of our friends." Master Pao smiled faintly and said to Marshall: "So we brought over the batch of design drawings and investment plans." ”

What the coalition government brought was a set of drawings for the Tiger A tank. This is what the United States has been wanting since Eisenhower tested the combat effectiveness of the new tank on the battlefield.

The United States is more concerned about the Tiger Shark fighter jets that the Wehrmacht Air Force is now equipped with. It is a pity that although these fighters are rumored to be extremely combative, the United States has no way to evaluate them.

First of all, the Wehrmacht, with the exception of the Soviet Union, did not sell the Tiger Shark. Secondly, although Tiger Sharks were shot down in each battle, most of them were dropped in the Wehrmacht's own area.

Moreover, when the tiger shark is dispatched, it is to cooperate with its own side or fight on the sea. The number of sorties was also limited, so that the Japanese army did not capture a single Tiger Shark fighter plane now.

However, Tu Menghu did not intend to hand over the drawings of the tiger shark to the Americans now, at least until Europe was beaten to ruins by the Führer.

"Members of the National Assembly are glad to see you and Vice President Song visiting, and Mr. President is arranging for Vice President Song to speak at the National Assembly. Please talk to Vice Chairman Song about this and be prepared. ”

Marshall smiled and said to Tu San. Although the two did not have much contact, during this period of time, Marshall strengthened his understanding of the gun master through the side.

In Marshall's view, the tiger was also one of the key figures in China's war of resistance.

Therefore, in Marshall's view, communication between the two sides is indispensable. Especially in the current situation, the bearded Führer in Europe continues to gain the upper hand every day.

If this continues, it will become impossible even if the United States does not want to enter the war. On the Chinese side, Japan is now mired in a large number of troops, but China has no way to hold back Japan's navy.

Japan's navy is the biggest threat to the United States in the Pacific. This is what prompted the United States to be willing to help the once three eastern provinces, now the coalition government, train naval officers.

The newly promoted naval officers studied at the U.S. Naval Academy, while those who experienced the Battle of the Yellow Sea and were recognized as outstanding by Shen Honglie were assigned to study at the U.S. Naval Academy.

"Congress has preliminarily approved your arms purchase. But this can't be done in the open. Marshall suddenly changed his words and said to the gun.

"The Saratoga, if nothing else, will be the new warship of the Wehrmacht Navy." Marshall smiled slightly and whispered to the gun.

Hearing Marshall's words, the gun still kept smiling. This result was something he had learned before he came to the United States. Morgan Jr., who had taken over the matter, immediately called the coalition government after he had settled the matter.

Shen Honglie, who got the news, was naturally ecstatic and almost danced in public. But the asking price of the United States is certainly not cheap, and the Saratoga is the first aircraft carrier of the United States, and it can even be said that it is an experimentally built aircraft carrier.

Although it has been remodeled several times, its roots are still battleships. But now the situation is that such an aircraft carrier is already very good for the Wehrmacht.

"How much." The gun master was also very direct, and said directly to Marshall. And Marshall was very surprised by this directness of the cannon master. He smiled and said, "Twenty-seven million." That's our bottom line. ”

Marshall was not polite, and said to the gun. The United States is interested in selling to the coalition government, which in their view will at least allow Japan to clean up its hands and feet when it tries to attack Southeast Asia.

Now it is obvious that Britain and France are too busy to take care of themselves, and Japan must be eyeing the resources of Southeast Asia. Even. Those lunatics might consider attacking the United States.

This is unacceptable to Washington, so giving the coalition government some arms has become a necessary option in Washington's view. Originally, there were different voices on the part of the Navy on this matter.

As a result, even if Congress passed it, the delivery of warships was noticeably slowed down. Until Japan and Germany declared an alliance. And Germany hit the European chickens and dogs in one go. The Admiralty has accelerated the process.

"Twenty-seven million is not expensive. But it's not cheap. Master Pao laughed. He said to Marshall, "You've got to have something else for us, don't you?!" ”

"Helping you train officers and seamen is already the best match we have made." Marshall shrugged his shoulders and said to the gunner, "There aren't many foreigners who can enter the U.S. Naval Military Academy to study. We have given you the equivalent of a warship, with the training of officers and seamen. ”

Master Pao also shrugged his shoulders and said to Marshall: "We gave you the training fee, we didn't owe it to you, right?!" The drawings of the Tiger tank, which the Soviet Union, Britain and France have proposed several times to cooperate, but we have not been willing to cooperate. Now that the drawings have been sent, you should have something to say, right?! ”

"Well, what do you want?!" Marshall smiled helplessly and said, "Don't go too far, it's within my purview." ”

Now the U.S. side, especially the commander of the Army Aviation Major General Henry Brown. Arnold coveted the Wehrmacht's Tiger Shark fighters. He has asked the War Department more than once that he needs to get his hands on the Tiger Shark, but it is a pity that every time the United States asks the ambassador to the coalition government to test the tone of the Wehrmacht, all he gets is a perfunctory hum.

Colt and Morgan Jr. were dispatched, and the other party only said that they were waiting for the price to sell. Hanging by this carrot, Marshall also wanted to have a good relationship with the gun master and then test his tone.

And when the gun master was bargaining with Marshall, the Fifth Division of the Second Army of the First Army of the Wehrmacht came to the deserted Damiao Town with a cart full of heads.

It used to be a lively place, but now it's deadly silent.

Deserted graves. Wild dogs, crows, and blood-stained ruins seem to be silent recounts of what has happened here. After the massacre of the Japanese army, no one dared to come here again.

Even villages more than a dozen miles away have been moving out, and they say they can often hear screams and cries coming from here. They say that the people who died unjustly here have never been at peace.

Shang Yingyan led someone to the front, carrying a box in his hand. Inside the box is a human head marinated in lime and hided by the tail turtle. Behind him, the officers and men of the Fifth Division had solemn faces.

They were pulling carts loaded with boxes of human heads. These were cut from the battlefield by the 5th Division. It was Shang Yingyan's strong request that it must be sent to Damiao Town to pay tribute to those unjust souls who died in vain.

The Taoist priest of Baiyun Temple wore a Taoist robe early and came to the mass grave outside Damiao Town, where more than 1,000 men, women and children who died under the butcher knives of the Japanese army were buried here.

The Taoist elders read scriptures that Shang Yingyan did not understand, and in front of the tombs there was a huge tripod made of cement. There are huge incense sticks inserted in the ding.

Shang Yingyan solemnly walked to the steps in front of Ding, opened his box, and put the head of the tail turtle hidden there. The soldiers of the Fifth Division behind him brought boxes of human heads and placed them on this step.

Suddenly, the steps in front of the tombs were full of human heads! The whole scene looks scary and eerie. The faces of those Taoist leaders who were reciting the scriptures couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Who has experienced this encounter?! That's at least a thousand heads, right?! It's just piled up into a small mountain, that's all human lives......

"Shang Yingyan, commander of the Fifth Division of the Second Army of the Second Army of the Chinese National Defense Forces, once swore here that if he did not cut off the head of the murderer to pay tribute to my dead compatriots, he would not return to the temple for a day!"

"God sees that fortunately, the soldiers of my Fifth Division fought bravely to kill the enemy and never retreated! The soldiers were killed by 2,462 people, 3,210 were seriously wounded, and 5,343 thieves were killed! Take the head of the thief chief's tail and high turtle hide! ”

"Today. The soldiers of my fifth division took the heads of the thieves to pay tribute to my compatriots! I hope that the souls of my compatriots who died in vain may rest in peace! And the soldiers of our national defense forces, I am willing to always guard the land of China! The heroic souls of our national defense forces who died in battle will protect my Chinese sons and daughters! ”

"The festival begins~~" The Taoist chief wiped the cold sweat left on his forehead. Hissed and shouted.

The soldiers of the entire Fifth Division, including those who had been recruited, knelt down three times and bowed nine times in front of the grave. After the first salute, the heads were taken and sprinkled with gasoline and burned.

After the ceremony, it was the burial ceremony of the soldiers who died in the 5th Division. This is the request that Shang Yingyan made to the command. These people were alive. Not protected by IDF officers.

Then after their death, at least the soldiers of the Wehrmacht will be by their side to protect them. Two thousand four hundred and sixty-two soldiers of the Fifth Division were killed in battle. Slowly buried in a solemn atmosphere.

Their names and places of origin are engraved on the tombstones. Then these cemeteries, where the soldiers of the Fifth Division were buried, were built into a martyr's cemetery by the engineers.

The heads of those who were burned to ashes were buried under the stone bricks in front of the gate. Shang Yingyan told these engineers that since these miscellaneous pieces were killed in China, they should not think that they would be peaceful if they died.

The construction of the engineering corps gradually attracted the surrounding villagers. Most of the burned houses in Damiao Town were demolished and re-planned and rebuilt.

The coalition government also sent its own officials here, and the administrative location was set in the town of Damiao. Most of the retired personnel of the Fifth Division, who were seriously injured and could not continue fighting, also settled their homes in Damiao Town.

With the gradual increase in the number of visitors, Damiao Town is lively again. With the construction of the martyrs' cemetery, there are more legends here.

Some people say that there is a child in the village who has fallen into evil, and the family is holding the child and hurriedly looking for the gods. But when he passed by the martyrs' cemetery, the child suddenly got better, and told the adults that he saw his uncle in the uniform of the Wehrmacht, touched his head and told him to go home.

Some people say that a certain aunt who returned to her mother's house came across a tiger near the martyr's cemetery, and she was terrified. I vaguely heard a voice from the cemetery scolding the tiger, and then the tiger scared away into the mountains without hurting anyone.

It was also said that a thief from a nearby village tried to steal cattle but was reprimanded by a man in a Wehrmacht uniform. The thief was scared away, and later went to the cemetery to see that it was a soldier buried here.

There are many legends, and the people of Damiao Town believe that it is the heroic spirits of the Wehrmacht soldiers who protect them. They never departed.
