Cai Guodong and Luo Zelin were discussing the bombing of the German air force airfield in France, the two had already talked about it, Luo Zelin was about to say goodbye and leave, when Cai Guodong's adjutant walked in and immediately reported: "General, Brigadier General Trenhard, commander of the British flying team, has arrived!" ”

"Oh? Where are the others now? Cai Guodong asked.

The adjutant said, "It's in the reception room, do you want to invite him over?" ”

Cai Guodong instructed: "Go and invite him over!" ”

"Yes!" The adjutant turned and left.

Luo Zelin said at this time: "Sir, why don't I make a plan first?" ”

Cai Guodong pressed his shoulder and said: "Wait a minute, you and I will meet this Brigadier General of the British Air Force, he is currently the highest rank and highest command officer of the British Air Force, and our bombing plan also needs the cooperation of the British side, I hope you can get the friendship of this Brigadier General!" ”

Luo Zelin thought about it and felt that he should get to know the Brigadier General of the British Air Force and communicate with each other, so he agreed: "That's okay!" ”

Soon the adjutant walked in with a tall and thin Englishman in his forties, almost fifty years old. Cai Guodong and Luo Zelin stood up when they saw that the guests had arrived in Hubei.

The adjutant introduced to Trenchard: "This is General Cai Guodong, commander of my country's Southeast European Theater, and this is Major General Luo Zelin, commander of the expeditionary air force!" ”

The translator he brought with him was on the side, and Trenchard stood up and saluted Cai Guodong and Luo Zelin: "The two generals, Brigadier General Trenchard of the Royal Air Force Flying Corps, have been ordered to come and report!" ”

The two saluted each other, and Cai Guodong shook hands with Trenhard and smiled: "Brigadier General Trenhard." You have arrived just in time, General Law and I are discussing the battle plan against the Luftwaffe. When I heard you coming, I was about to invite you to join us for the discussion. Because this battle against the Luftwaffe still needs the strong support of your Royal Flying Corps."

Trenchard was overjoyed when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face, he said in his heart that the work efficiency of the Chinese is really high, and this plane has not yet flown to the United Kingdom, and it is already planning to fight against the Luftwaffe, and it seems that with these people, the future will be much better, he hurriedly said: "Oh." Is it? I am very honored! I wonder how the two generals planned it? ”

Cai Guodong patted Trenhard on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry, let's sit down and talk!" ”

The three of them each found a place to sit down, and the adjutant quickly brought tea, Cai Guodong invited Trenchard to drink tea and asked, "Trenchard, how did you come here this time?" Could it be that they flew directly from England in a straight line through French airspace? ”

Trenhard took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and shook his head: "Of course not, this time we only flew three planes, and the three planes did not dare to pass directly through the French airspace at all, and the German planes flew in the sky all day long." If we fly in a straight line, we will definitely encounter German fighters, and the range of our fighters is not enough to fly from England to Italy, we will fly to Portugal first, and then from Portugal to Milan! ”

Cai Guodong thought for a while and said to Trenchard: "We are currently planning a major operation against the German air force in France. But this plan is really an idea, and I have put General Luo in charge of this matter, and may need the cooperation of your Royal Flying Corps and the French Air Force. Now, I would like to ask General Luo to give you a rough idea, if it is feasible. I hope it's up to you to come up with this plan together! ”

Trenchard nodded, "Of course, I'm very willing to listen to General Luo talk about this plan!" ”

Cai Guodong nodded to Luo Zelin. Luo Zelin said to Trenchard: "At present, if our military planes want to fly to the UK, they can only transfer from Portugal, but the Portuguese airport is too small, and the maintenance and refueling capacity is insufficient, if all our 1,000 planes want to fly to the UK, it will take at least a month, while the flight range of our fighters can fly from Milan to the UK, but they cannot be intercepted, once intercepted, they will inevitably fight, if they are delayed, our fighters will not be able to fly to the UK and have to make a forced landing halfway, But that area was controlled by Germany, so it was very dangerous to go directly through France to England.

I thought so, in that case, why don't we take off directly from Italy and bomb the airfields of the German air force in France? The bombing time does not need to be very long, as long as you take it by surprise, find the target, leave after throwing the bomb, fly directly to England, delay for a few minutes will not have any effect, in the process of bombing, we must destroy the main force of the German air force in France, blow up most of the fighters, and this bombing time is unexpected by the Germans, carried out when the Germans are most defenseless, and I think that before the bombing we should also shift our attention to other places to create conditions for our bombing! ”

Trenhard pondered after listening to the translator's translation of Luo Zelin's rough plan, while Cai Guodong and Luo Zelin leaned back in their chairs and smoked cigarettes and waited for him.

After a few minutes, Trenchard said, "Two generals, this plan sounds good, but are you really sure that your country's warplanes can fly from Italy to England?" Even a few minutes of bombing of the German air force airfield in France would not be affected? In addition, as far as I know, there are not enough airports in Milan for the transfer, refueling and maintenance of your warplanes. There is also the question of how to attract the attention of the Germans in advance if you want to avoid being detected by the Germans, unless your fleet is able to fight at night? ”

While several people were talking, the adjutant walked in again and said to Cai Guodong: "General, General Salde of the Italian military is here, he wants to see you!" ”

After hearing this, Luo Zelin said to Cai Guodong: "Sir, since you have the possibility, then Trenchard and I will find another place to discuss!" ”

After Luo Zelin finished speaking, he turned to Trenchad and said, "Brigadier General, what do you mean?" ”

Trenhard smiled: "Of course, I'm glad to do it, you see it's almost dinner, how about I treat you to an Italian meal?" ”

Luo Zelin also smiled: "You are a guest, or I invite you, please!" ”

The two are gone. Cai Guodong's office ushered in the Italian military General Salde, who is in his sixties. Stepping on long military boots, the military uniform on his body is straight. He wears a large cylindrical military hat, his temples are gray, and he is still on crutches.

"Welcome, General Salde!" Cai Guodong went out to shake hands with Salde.

Salde wore white gloves, his face was very ugly, and he did not shake hands with Cai Guodong, he squeezed Cai Guodong into the office and sat down behind Cai Guodong's desk, then took out a cigar and put it in his mouth, and his adjutant lit it for him with a lighter.

Took a few puffs of cigarettes. Salde exhaled a large cloud of smoke, blew the smoke, and then lifted his feet up on his desk, shaking incessantly.

Cai Guodong smiled, walked in and sat down on the sofa and asked, "General Salde, didn't you come here today to set up a score for me?" If so, you've had enough swinging and you're good to go! ”

Hearing this, Salde put down his feet, his face became angry, and he said, "General Cai, after you come here. We Italians are good enough for you, right? Now that you have found a camp and prepared ammunition and supplies for you, why do you not fulfill your obligation to defend them? I'll talk to your subordinate General Huang Yingjie. But he ignored me, knowing that he was only a lieutenant general, and I was a general. When he saw me, not only did he not salute, but he also ignored my protests. It's so hateful! ”

Cai Guodong took out a cigarette and lit it while listening, and after Salde finished speaking, he asked, "Is this what the general is here for?" ”

Salde stood up and slapped the table and shouted, "Of course. Your people are so rude, you should know very well that this is Italy, not China, and on behalf of the Kingdom of Italy, I hope that you must respect us, and I have heard that you have released all the soldiers out of the barracks, and those soldiers are now hooking up with our women all over the streets, which is so hateful, who allowed you to do that? I want you to order them to go back to camp immediately and stop harassing our women, understand? ”

Cai Guodong shrugged his shoulders when he heard this: "General, this is not what I ordered them to find your women, you should know the phrase 'love for beauty, everyone has it', it is normal for men to like women, and it is normal for them to fall in love with women, if we forcibly intervene, it is against the laws of nature, isn't it?" Besides, our soldiers have come here after a long journey, thousands of miles to help you in the war, and they are not allowed to rest for a few days?

Furthermore, I would like to remind you that not all of the ammunition, equipment, and materiel were provided by your country, and as far as I know, most of the ammunition, materiel, and materiel were brought in by the British from India and Australia, and that you Italy were only a good part.

Finally, our soldiers have just arrived, they need to regain their strength and morale, we can't order them to go to battle now, and besides, we only have two divisions now, and you want to hand over the defense of four divisions to us, what the hell do you want to do? Do you want your Majesty the King to react to this?

Saard, I tell you, I look down on you Italians very much, men only know how to revolve around women, and they can't do anything, while women always like to find lovers, and when they find a new lover, they abandon their old ones, and husbands are replaced and replaced by the cuckolds worn by their wives. Especially your Italian army, I despise it the most, you have the ability to fight a battle alone and let our Chinese army see? From the beginning of the war, you Italy always fell on both sides like grass on the wall, at first followed the Entente, was beaten by the Germans and cried dad and mother, and then saw that the Entente could not stand it, and betrayed the Entente to join the Allied Powers, and then the Entente came again, you were worried about the death of the country, and you were cheeky to rejoin the Entente, don't you feel ashamed? If you have the ability, you can win a battle and show me, even if it is only a small-scale battle, even if it is a small-scale battle with only a thousand people, as long as you win, I will immediately order the troops to take over the defense line without saying a word, do you dare? ”

At this time, Salde's adjutant exclaimed: "General, general, what's wrong with you? ”

Cai Guodong shook his head helplessly, picked up the phone and dialed the phone to notify the hospital to send someone. (To be continued......)
