Qin Wei knew that Barton would take Harold. Alexander, the future Marshal of the British Army, was beaten up, but Alexander himself did not know what to do for the time being. Because he was now frightened by the Japanese, although he kept asking the United States and China for support, he was actually ready to retreat. Of course, at this time, he did not think about pitting the Americans, he only thought about using the pressure of the Americans to drag the Chinese into the Burmese battlefield, and then stuff the Chinese to the front line facing the Japanese, so as to attract the attention of the Japanese so that he could run away. In his mind, when the time comes, he can find a way to drag the Yankees to escape together, and he can share the responsibility with the Americans. As for whether Chinese will be a big one at that time...... So what does it matter?

The problem was that the Chinese troops he had expected were nowhere to be found, but the American troops marched into Burma soon after.

This incident was also unexpected by the Chinese side...... Because of that little George. After General Patton arrived in Kunming, he did not go to see Chiang first as arranged, but directly asked Chennault to prepare a plane for him and sent him to the American troops who were gathering along the Sino-Burmese border on Stilwell's orders.

……

Wan Town, Temporary Command of the U.S. Army.

"George, do you want to lead these GIs to fight the Japanese like this?"

Chennault and Stilwell couldn't get along, but perhaps because he was a "ruffian" and Patton was a "reckless man", he and Patton quickly fell in love. Although they have only known each other for a long time, they are already like a pair of old friends. And came to China early to support China's anti-Japanese war, Chennault had a lot of relations with China's high-level officials, especially with Chiang's wife Soong Meiling, so there was speculation about China's high-level officials. He knows it all. Considering the Chinese government's performance in the past two years, as well as the British army's poor performance in Malaya, he agrees with these speculations:

"It is quite possible that the British were ready to retreat. They let us go just to help them share the pressure...... You're going to be in a tough fight. ”

"But if we don't go, we'll be called a bunch of cowards!"

Little George. Smith. Patton, this name can definitely be on the roster of the most famous warriors of World War II, and even the top three. But Barton himself does not have much of a warrior's style, on the contrary, his appearance is a little more delicate than that of most Europeans and Americans...... It's just that the lips that are always a little upturned show his rebellious nature:

"Although our target is the Japanese. They were not the Germans as originally expected, but we believe that they were no better than the Germans. Claire, in front of us are the first American troops to officially go into battle! They had lost battles, but General MacArthur had already told the whole world in his way. We are not a bunch of cowards, under equal conditions. We can defeat the Japanese; And now. I'm also going to tell those who underestimate us that we can be stronger! ”

"But your backup hasn't arrived yet." Chennault said in a deep voice, "And I will tell you, George, that the Japanese are far more ferocious than you think. In many cases, they are truly fearless to death. ”

"Really? Then come on. Barton grinned. Do you know the truth? I'm actually getting anxious right now! ”

"But I think you should go and meet Mr. Jiang first!" Chennault sighed, "After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the war zone. ”

"When we have repelled the Japanese, I will go to see him again." "Because when the time comes." I'll have something to say to him. ”

"In other words, if you lose the battle, you will be shameless?"

“…… Who are you? Why did the guards not report? ”

Barton was distracted by this sudden statement, but unfortunately, he couldn't understand Chinese at all, so when he saw the man standing in the doorway, the first thing he frowned was. But he didn't know anyone, but Chennault did. Seeing Qin Wei suddenly appear here, this "Flying Tiger General" couldn't be surprised for the time being, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:

"General!"

"You're a general, man!" Qin Wei returned the salute with a smile and said, "But, Claire, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

"When Doolittle and I went to the Fourth Theater to help General MacArthur, I wanted to meet you and ask for some good wine by the way, but unfortunately you weren't there." Chennault laughed.

"Come on, how can you stand all that wine in my kiln? At most, two or two, and you'll flip. Qin Wei said with a smile.

"But I remember you blushing at just one or two." Chennault shot back.

"I'm thin-skinned!" Qin Wei skimmed his way.

"You're thin-skinned? Gosh, this is definitely the funniest joke I've ever heard. Chennault looked up to the sky and sighed.

"That...... Since we're friends, Claire, shouldn't you introduce me to that? Hung aside, Barton didn't show any displeasure, but was just a little curious about Qin Wei.

"By courtesy, General Patton, should you introduce yourself to me first?" Qin Wei and Chennault glanced at each other, and said to him with a smile, and this time, he changed his English.

"......" Barton hesitated for a moment, but after staring at Qin Wei's epaulettes a few more times, he still took a step forward and gave him a solemn military salute: "Mr. General, Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America Forces in the Philippines, George Jr. Smith. Patton salutes you! ”

"Hello." Qin Wei also returned the salute, "I am a member of the Military Commission of the Republic of China, commander-in-chief of the Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army, deputy commander of the Fourth Theater, and director of the Yunnan-Guizhou Pacification Office, my surname is Qin, Qin Wei!" ”

“…… I've heard your name, General. Patton seemed stunned for a moment, "Before I came to China, General Marshall, the Chief of the Army Staff, reminded me to be careful of you. ”

"Really?" Qin Wei smiled, "From this point of view, he is indeed very competent!" ”

"I'm also very keen to be able to figure out why he reminded me. But before that......" Barton grinned, "General, I want to know what you're here for." ”

"Just in case!" Qin Wei replied.

"Just in case?" Patton was inexplicable, "What does this mean?" ”

"In a way, it's a favor." Qin Wei was not polite, he found a seat for himself, leaned on it with his buttocks, and greeted Chennault again: "Claire, can you pour me a glass of water?" After receiving the order from Chongqing, I flew directly to Kunming, and then flew here from Kunming, and I still haven't drunk a glass of water. ”

"You should fly right here." Chennault looked at him, shook his head, and went to find someone to pour him water.

"General, what do you mean by 'favors'?" Barton returned to his seat and asked.

"In other words, we are afraid that you will go to Burma and lose the war, and then you will be angry with us for not sending troops into Burma in time, and then you will wrap this resentment in your report to Washington, which will cause the U.S. government to resent, and then cut our supplies...... Wait a minute! Qin Wei shrugged, "So, the above simply sent me to remind you." Then, even if you lose the battle, you will have no reason to blame us, and you may feel ashamed that you did not listen to our advice, and so on. ”

"......" Barton was stunned, and then smiled bitterly for a while: "You are very direct!" ”

"I've always been a quick talker." Qin Wei smiled and took the cup handed over by Chennault: "I don't believe you asked Claire." ”

"This man is probably the most cunning guy in all of China, and legend has it that he is even more valued by the Japanese than Mr. Chiang." Before Barton could ask, Chennault had already spoken, "So, George, be careful. Don't think that he is so direct with you, just that he is a cheerful person. In fact, at the same time as you hear this sentence, you may have fallen into his trap...... Really, I dare to swear to God. ”

"I made a friend by mistake." Qin Wei lamented.

"But I think you've made a real friend." Barton laughed, "At least he knows you very well." ”

"Those who know me best must be my enemies." Qin Wei glanced at him: "George, I heard that you believe in the legend of soul reincarnation very much?" ”

"Do you know this?" Barton was stunned. He did believe in the idea of soul reincarnation, and most of the people in their family did. And he has always considered himself to be the reincarnation of many famous, warlike and brave military roles in different eras, such as the Carthaginian commander Hannibal, the ancient Roman legionary soldiers, the marshals under Napoleon, the ancient Greek hoplites, the cavalry of the Eastern Roman general Belisarius, and the Stuart highlanders of the Stuart dynasty. Therefore, when he was young, he decided that it was inevitable that he would become a general and hero in the future. When he went to the tailor shop to make a military school uniform before attending the Virginia Military Academy, he found that the uniform size was the same as that of his grandfather and father in terms of height, shoulder width, waist circumference, and chest circumference...... But although these things are not a great secret, Qin Wei can know the Tao as a Chinese, so he can't help but be surprised.

"Actually, I also believe in soul reincarnation." Qin Wei said with a smile, "Because I myself often feel that I am the reincarnation of a famous fortune teller in ancient times. ”

"Fortune teller?" Barton didn't understand, so he looked at Chennault as if asking for help.

"Similar to Western astrologers!" Chennault explained.

"Oh......" Barton nodded understandingly, "but what does that have to do with me?" ”

"Of course it does." Qin Wei smiled, "Because I vaguely feel that you will encounter a big defeat when you enter Myanmar this time...... You'll even lose your mind for it! ”

"Me? Losing your mind? Barton was amused.

"Trust me, that's right!" Qin Wei looked solemn, "Not only will you lose your mind, but you will not lose your mind in general!" You're going to go crazy! (To be continued......)
