Chapter 405: Family Banquet
,
Tu Qianjun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Jia Xiaohou say this!
On the Zhisinai front, when the tanks of the Israeli 190th Armored Brigade were rapidly pushing towards the Sinai Dunes group, the Egyptian infantry was not skillfully concealed in the dunes, and the Israeli commander and tank crews, far away, found black spots with a strange color with the dunes, however. They are careless, treating these black spots as tree roots, and are not vigilant.
By the time they could identify the humans, it was too late, and in just 3 minutes, the Israeli tanks were destroyed, and the 190th Armored Brigade was surrounded and annihilated! It turned out that the Egyptian army had already deployed 43 "Sag" anti-tank missiles and dozens of RG-7 anti-tank rocket launchers here!
This result shocked the world! Therefore. Many people refer to October 6, 1973 as "the day the tanks lost to the infantry."
Anti-tank warfare in the Sinai desert. The status of anti-tank bazooka was greatly enhanced. In this regard, the American magazine carried a special report: "During the battle for the Golan Heights, the Syrian infantry hid behind the stone wall and used rocket launchers to deal a major blow to the Israeli armored forces".
In the early days of the Sinai operation, the Egyptian infantry was supported by the 'Sagar' anti-tank missile unit. The same tactics as the Syrian infantry were used, and many Israeli tanks were destroyed.
These once again proved that anti-tank rocket launchers, in the hands of covert infantry, were the most effective anti-tank weapons against enemy armored assaults. In the 1969 Zhenbao Island self-defense counterattack, the small detachment of the Chinese border guards relied on a handy bazooka. A Soviet T-62 medium tank was damaged, making this new tank, the most advanced tank at the time, a trophy for the border guards.
Because RG can not only pose a considerable threat to land vehicles such as transport vehicles, tanks, and armored vehicles, but also can bring damage to expensive aircraft, such as helicopters and low-flying attack aircraft, it is more favored by resistance groups or terrorists as a weapon with a high return rate.
Tu Qianjun traveled the world in various capacities. Participated in many battles large and small. Naturally, he is extremely familiar with this cheap weapon, and even the first person in the world to take down the RG handle is him!
At that time, he fought in Somalia as a mercenary.
Today's guest is Roosevelt, the head of the American business delegation. Then there was Eisenhower, the military attache who came to China, and these two men had basically finished their visit to Manchuria. The business delegation also signed a series of business cooperation agreements with Yan Zhengqing.
These included iron and steel smelting and petroleum refining plants established in Dalian and Lushun, and Qingdao and Lushun were of great interest to American businessmen. Because the port there is ice-free. From there, it's completely possible to cross the entire Pacific Ocean and reach Los Angeles on the west coast of the United States, south of California!
Dalian itself has already built a railway, and transportation is not a problem at all. At least, it's a lot closer to Los Angeles than the Philippines and other places!
Although they can't get a piece of the pie from oil mining, metal smelting and petrochemical industry can still make a profit?! Excellent port, this is the foundation of the rise!
Now that the businessmen's affairs have been done, those businessmen who rarely come to the Far East naturally want to wander around. As for the issue of getting around, it is natural that other officials will accompany and arrange it.
Roosevelt and Eisenhower, on the other hand, had a much more important task -- they needed to know what Tu Qianjun was going to do next. These are also things that American businessmen and the U.S. Congress need to know, so they have to talk to Tu Qianjun. Although Yan Zhengqing showed some of Tu Qianjun's attitudes, they preferred to be able to listen to Tu Qianjun in person.
Yan Zhengqing entertained Roosevelt with a family banquet, but this family banquet seems to be plain but not simple! is in charge, but it is Pang Enfu, the apprentice of the former Qing imperial chef Hu Yi! Hu Yi was originally a famous eunuch in the imperial dining room of the former Qing Dynasty, who served Emperor Xianfeng and the Queen Mother of the East and West Palaces, and his cooking skills were very superb.
Later, he was hired to the "Jiangnan Chun" restaurant in Jinmen as a worship guide, and accepted an apprentice Pang Enfu. This apprentice Pang Enfu was later invited by Pu Yi to Fengtian to be his imperial chef.
After Pu Yi was run away, Pang Enfu originally wanted to leave (). But at that time, he was caught by the brothers of the Wehrmacht, and because he knew that he could cook, he was still the imperial cook, so he showed his hands a few times, but the things were made well, so the brothers of the Wehrmacht introduced him to Yan Zhengqing.
Who is Yan Zhengqing?! This is an old bird by the river who has learned from China and the West and has seen countless big scenes! After Yan Zhengqing's small talk, Pang Enfu suddenly felt that it was better to be the imperial chef for the abolished emperor, so it was better to be the head of the honest old gentleman!
But Yan Zhengqing didn't want him to take charge of himself, but asked him to support the façade of the Manchurian State Guest House. After all, it's a place to entertain guests, so you can't tremble, right?! So he became a chef in the Manchurian State Guest House, and even learned Russian cuisine from those Russian chefs!
With such a master chef in charge, although it was just a bland dish, Roosevelt and Eisenhower were extremely happy! And this kind of family banquet is also comfortable to eat, not as many rules as a big banquet.
After dinner, everyone tasted fragrant tea and sat down in Yan Zhengqing's reception room.
"Tu! I have to admit that you are indeed very strong in military affairs......" Eisenhower, who had visited the army during this time, drank tea and smiled at Tu Qianjun: "To be honest, did you keep a few hands when you were at West Point?!" I think those troops seem to have more training than West Point! ”
As the first graduate of the Staff College, Eisenhower's vision was not covered, but after a few observations of the Wehrmacht's exercises, he saw that Tu Qianjun had a hand in West Point at that time. But Tu Qianjun would definitely not say that.
But seeing Tu Qianjun's face unchanged, he smiled at Eisenhower and said: "Those are basically what I added after I finished the battle of Harbin with the Soviets, and although we won the battle, the price we could pay was not small!" I've improved the way we train for this purpose, and it looks like it's working pretty well! After this victory in the battle against the Japanese army, my staff is preparing to improve the new training method......"
Tu Qianjun's words are true and false, and it is true that the General Staff is indeed working out a new training plan. But the ones that the Wehrmacht is training now have been there since the days of the First Army. To be continued
