Chapter 663: Night Banquet

"What if they knew that Stalin would not hold out and were asking us for help?!" saw Yan Zhengqing push his glasses and continued to chuckle. But somehow, everyone felt that the governor was laughing like a fox.

"Of course, they can't give direct assistance. But do something behind the scenes to push it, and they are still willing to do it. The longer this kind of war goes on, the better it will be for them. If Stalin had lost like this, there would have been no doubt that Trotsky would have continued their Soviets, which was not good news for Britain, the United States, France, etc......."

Tu Qianjun smiled slightly, and then said, "So, if we reveal this news to them." They must have given some support to ensure that Stalin could continue to fight. Don't lose, the best keeps fighting......"

Everyone looked at these two masters and apprentices, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts! Thinking of the father of the commander-in-chief who just proposed to buy more discounts, I suddenly felt that this son was really a virtue with my father!

The idea of taking advantage of the situation is really common!

"So...... We're going to tell the Americans and the British in some way. Stalin was about to lose his hold, and then he ...... "Yang Yuting, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the three eastern provinces, is particularly satisfied with the black-hearted people of these people!"

If you change to Zhang Hanqing, Lao Tzu will have a headache! Or change to Jiang Zhongzheng, I, Yang Yuting, have to hit the wall! It is not enough to have a black heart, you must have the heart of the country.

Black-hearted, that's for external use. Black those old hairy people, foreign devils, the more ruthless Yang Yuting is, the happier he is!

"I'll invite Mr. Jensen, the American consul, to dinner in a while, and then ......" But Tu Qianjun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Roosevelt is not a fool, it's not good to play like this." I'd better have dinner with Patton, who happens to be teaching at the National Defense University! and Eisenhower were also friends and West Point classmates. ”

Yang Yuting nodded when he heard this, indeed! He had met Roosevelt, too, and that president was no simple man. This kind of trick will be laughed at, so it's better to spread it out directly.

Then the people said some more about their work, and then they dispersed. After returning to the office. Tu Qianjun directly called the instructor's office of the National Defense University.

Not surprisingly, Eisenhower and Patton were there! These two did not refuse Tu Qianjun's invitation, in fact, Barton had long wanted to find Tu Qianjun. The aim was to bring some of his officers to the Wehrmacht for actual combat exercises.

At present, the troops that have fought on a large scale with tanks, excluding the two sides of the Soviet Union, are the most experienced in Tu Qianjun. It was impossible for Barton to send his men to the Soviet Union to experience the war, so as not to accidentally turn them red.

Therefore, the only choice was the Wehrmacht who came to Mukden. Then a large number of Wehrmacht tanks were borrowed for actual combat exercises. But this kind of thing. There must be the approval of Tu Qianjun.

The location was set in the small courtyard of Yan Zhengqing's house, and the time was after work. Not only is it safe there, but there are many things that can be discussed after you have had enough to drink.

In the evening, after getting off work, Tu Qianjun packed up the documents in his hand, and took Liu Yunjiao to ride a war horse and went to Yan Zhengqing's small courtyard under the escort of the mountain dogs.

Yan Zheng already knew about it early in the morning, and instructed the cook to make a table of good dishes. Of course, Yan Zhengqing also had to accompany him at the scene.

At half-past six, Barton and Eisenhower arrived as promised. Led by the old butler through the small courtyard, Barton couldn't help but be amazed, and he looked at the various buildings that were extremely unfamiliar to him with great interest.

At the living room doorway. Tu Qianjun and Yan Zhengqing were already waiting for the arrival of the two with a smile. Eisenhower was flattered and said to the two of them: "You two are polite! That's very kind......"

Later, Barton explained to Barton that it was a very polite thing to greet the two of them at the door as political and military leaders of millions of square kilometers. By the way. Explain the etiquette.

Patton was also awe-inspired, and gave a military salute to the two! Show your appreciation. At this time, Patton had not yet experienced World War II, so he was not so famous! For a political leader who rules millions of square kilometers of land, tens of millions of people.

Thrilled by the courtesy of a general who had fought hundreds of thousands of people and commanded more than two million troops!

"Haha...... Both of you are elites in the American military, and I am sure that in the near future you will all be the shining stars of the United States! Tu Qianjun smiled at the two of them and said loudly: "The wine and food are ready!" Two please! ”

With that, Tu Qianjun gave up his position and invited the two of them in!

In 1935, Patton was promoted to lieutenant colonel and served as chief of intelligence in the Hawaiian Military District. But in this plane, Patton's rank rises faster! That's because he is one of the few officers in the U.S. military who is not doing much research on tank warfare.

At the same time, he was sent to Mukden to conduct research on armored operations. So the rank was raised again. The current rank of brigadier general was formed.

No matter whether later generations praised or deprecated Patton, they all unanimously recognized him as a great and excellent soldier. This is undeniable, but his personal character can be seen from some of the descriptions of his subordinates, as described by Codrian:

"I have never heard General Patton tell a vulgar and vulgar joke, nor have I ever encouraged others to tell it. Drink? Except on rare occasions. And every morning to have some whiskey and water, he basically rarely drinks. Pretty woman? It would be rare for the General to be interested in women other than the girls in his house.

Apart from his enemies, when will you fellows accusing him stop talking? None of his men, his family, his chauffeurs, or orderlies would do that. ”

Undoubtedly, Patton was a pure military man. A complete Spartan-like soldier born for war. He only lived in the war. The rest of the things he doesn't like to do and don't like to think about.

There is a strong burning knife on the wine table, which is a specialty of the Northeast and Tu Qianjun's favorite. Eisenhower's face was a little strange as he poured wine for the two of them with a smile, while Barton looked at the contents of the glass curiously.

"This wine is a specialty of our Northeast. You can think of it as whiskey, or you can think of it as Soviet vodka. Tu Qianjun smiled and raised his glass to the two of them and said, "As soldiers, our toast is for victory!" ”

"For victory!!" Barton obviously liked this toast very much, and as Tu Qianjun picked up the wine glass and touched it, he drank it all! Seeing this, Eisenhower could only smile bitterly and drank the wine in his glass.

He had suffered from burning knives, so he was somewhat mentally prepared. It's a pity that this is the first time Barton has drunk a burning knife, and as soon as the wine enters his throat, he feels like a fire rushes down his throat!

The burning heart and lungs were a little painful, and he held it for a while before he could bear the stimulation. Seeing Patton's changing expression, Tu Qianjun smiled and said to Patton: "How is it?!" How does it taste?! ”

"It's more exciting than whiskey......" Barton said to Tu Qianjun after relieving himself. The latter laughed, and gave a hoof to Barton, "Come! Pressed wine! ”

This dish smells good! Barton didn't hesitate to pick up the fork and fork it up and eat it, while Eisenhower had already learned to use chopsticks, so he raised the chopsticks with a smile and started together.

The guests of honor at the meal were happy, and no one talked about anything about military and political affairs. It wasn't until the end of dinner, when everyone sat down in the living room and drank tea, that they talked a little about it.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I would like to bring my officers in the armored regiment to study at the National Defense University. At the same time, you are conducting armored combat exercises with the Wehrmacht, but I don't know what you mean. ”

Although Tu Qianjun is younger than himself, Patton does not dare to underestimate this commander-in-chief at all! People fought on the battlefield when they were more than ten years old, and they fought with the Japanese army and the Soviet army before they were twenty years old without defeat!

Starting from a battalion commander, he has now become the master of more than two million troops, tens of millions of people, and millions of square kilometers of land! This is the existence that any ordinary soldier should look up to!

"Hahaha...... Of course you can! They are always welcome if you want to, and the U.S. War Department agrees that we are always welcome to them! But seeing Tu Qianjun wave his hand, he said to Patton: "We are allies, and I have always regarded the United States as my friend!" We never skimp on our friends! ”

Patton stood up excitedly, gave a military salute to Tu Qianjun and said loudly: "Thank you for your generosity!" Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief! ”

"Hahaha...... Come on, come on! Sit down, sit down and drink tea! Tu Qianjun pressed Barton's shoulder, sat him down, and then said, "The food just now is a little greasy, drink some tea to relieve the greasy!" ”

Then everyone sat down again and continued to talk and laugh. Barton solved his thoughts, and also smiled and told Tu Qianjun some interesting things. Patton is very fond of the atmosphere of the National Defense University today, which he sees as a pure, excellent cradle of officer education.

Not lost to West Point at all, the students here work hard and are disciplined! Serious and funny, they also play ball and joke. But he will never do anything that damages his honor. Whether it was the queue or housekeeping, Barton was extremely satisfied after careful inspection! This is what he appreciates.

"Recently, the Soviets came to find me!" Now that Barton has said it, Tu Qianjun naturally won't hide it. Facing Eisenhower, he said, "Stalin's men, they can't hold on. They want to buy weapons from me, but you know they don't have a lot of money to pay me cash. ”

Eisenhower smiled slightly, he finally knew the meaning of Tu Qianjun coming to him this time. This kind of thing, and Jensen will be more troublesome to say that Jensen, it is better to talk to yourself. The army has its own system. These things will be easier to solve. (To be continued.)
