After listening to the words of Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, Tang Qiuli also smiled and said: "I forgot this, the war situation in Australia is not so bad that the British put untrained soldiers into the battlefield." ”

On the morning of 10 September, after arranging everything, Tang Qiuli rushed to the Singapore Field Airport with Mei Xue, Shan Hu, a detachment of special guards, and a capable command team composed of more than a dozen people.

Many officers in Singapore wanted to see them off at the airport, but they were stopped by Tang Qiuli, and only Deputy Division Commander Tang Qiusheng and Chief of Staff Zhao Yu arrived at the airport together.

The two special planes were quietly parked on the runway, and after everyone dropped their planes, Tang Qiuli looked at Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe and said: "Brother Qiusheng, Yuhe, the Indochina Peninsula will be handed over to you, if the situation in the northeast changes greatly, I may have to stay in the northeast for a long time, in addition, the matter of the direct corps going to the Pingjin area, let Yuhe command, pay attention to the movement of hidden troops." ”

This is the latest deployment made by Tang Qiuli at last night's military meeting, in view of the southwest Pacific theater, the troops of the independent division will stay out of the matter for a considerable period of time, and the five main corps of the independent division are all gathered here, and there is not much need, and Liu Tiehan's eastward command troops, in the face of more than 1 million Kwantung Army, still appear to be insufficient in strength, so within a period of time, two corps will be mobilized to return north to strengthen the military strength of the north.

The directly subordinate corps is the first unit to be transferred, and it will be transferred to the Pingjin area before the end of the year, followed by Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan garrison corps, which means that the strategic focus of the independent division has gradually shifted to the northeast front, and it also indicates that Tang Qiuli is determined to open up two battlefields, the northeast and the southwest and the Pacific.

The plane glides lightly on the runway. Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe waved their hands frequently, getting smaller and smaller, the fuselage shook slightly, and the two special planes rushed into the blue sky, and then, a large group of escort fighters also took off into the air, which was the escort group sent by Le Yiqin.

For this matter, Le Yiqin and Tang Qiuli had a good dispute. According to Tang Qiuli's meaning, the special plane was flying in China's territorial airspace, so what danger was there, and the Japanese were not bold enough to dare to go deep into China to intercept and kill themselves. This is redundant and wasteful.

Coke Yiqin didn't think much of it, and his reason was simple. It's a time of war now. Any unexpected thing can happen, even if the little devil doesn't have the courage, I don't feel at ease with the guys in the national government, there are more people who are worried about you!

The lawsuit went to the deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng. Tang Qiusheng still made the final decision, "Yiqin is very thoughtful, you are the backbone of more than one million people in the independent division, and you would rather be prepared." Don't take it lightly, just do it according to the arrangement of Yiqin! ”

Looking at Tang Qiusheng's unquestionable attitude, Le Yiqin had a victorious expression, although he was unwilling in his heart, Tang Qiuli had to obey the arrangement.

Through the porthole, Tang Qiuli looked at the high-rise buildings under the wings, the tall Singapore, the narrow Malay Peninsula, the mountains and rivers that constantly swept by, the verdant forests, and the land of the Indochina Peninsula dotted with lakes, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In the winter of 39, the independent division went out of the country, and in a blink of an eye, more than two years have passed, laying down the entire Indochina Peninsula, most of the Indian continent, millions of square kilometers of land, and nearly 80 million people, and he has not returned to Dingbian for two years, visiting his parents, Mei Ting and his daughter, the pace of the war is in a hurry, and he is almost the year of standing.

A lot of past events flashed in Tang Qiuli's mind, Mei Xue, who was sitting next to him, saw the distance and confusion in her husband's eyes, leaned on his shoulder, and asked softly: "Qiuli, what do you remember?" ”

Tang Qiuli rubbed his nose, leaned on Mei Xue's ear, and whispered: "I think again, Jia Lin's little girl, after seeing me, will she call her father, by the way, Xue, when will you give birth to me too?" ”

Mei Xue blushed, pinched Tang Qiuli's waist fiercely, glared at him, and whispered: "I discussed it with my sister, when Jia Lin is older, my sister can come over to take care of you, I will think about it." ”

Tang Qiuli looked bitter and said helplessly: "Wouldn't it take several years to wait?" The two talked and laughed quietly, Tang Qiuli looked up and saw the mountain tiger, sitting there honestly, his face facing out of the porthole, without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.

He got up to tease the mountain tiger, got up and patted the mountain tiger's shoulder, and said: "Huzi, it's rare that you are so quiet, tell me the truth, do you miss Ouyang Lan?" ”

The mountain tiger turned around, grinned, his white teeth flashed, and replied in a harmless and truthful way: "I'm thinking!" ”

Tang Qiuli was speechless, this guy didn't know a few words of modesty, so he just had to make such a straight eyebrow, let himself joke, he couldn't say it, Mei Xue covered her mouth, her shoulders trembled, and she couldn't help but steal the fun.

Tang Qiu rolled his eyes, and then said: "It's still Huzi, otherwise, there will be no war anyway, this time when you return to Dingbian, you and Ouyang Lan will be able to get married, and you will save you from thinking all day long." ”

This time, Shanhu's answer was more realistic, "I want to, but Ouyang hasn't graduated yet, she wrote to me last time, she only considered marrying me a year after she graduated, by the way, Xiaoqiu, you have a lot of ghost ideas, what are the tricks, you can make Ouyang agree to marry me as soon as he graduates!" ”

Tang Qiuli had a black line in his head, and roared in a low voice, "Get out, when I am a person, I still help you cheat on marriage, you can't give an order, your own business, solve it yourself, I'm sorry, I can't do anything!" ”

Shanhu looked at Tang Qiuli very innocently, and what he said was very shocking, "Are you experienced, I just asked you for advice, you see, Director Mei, Director Mei, and Staff Officer Liu, aren't they all deceived by you, and if you deceive Ouyang Lan for me, why can't you do anything?" ”

Tang Qiuli ended the topic very hurtfully, with a failed face, and ran back to Mei Xue in a gloomy manner, Mei Xue laughed so much that she was almost out of breath, and more than a dozen special guards were lying on their seats, with black and red faces, suffocating purple, enduring hardship, and sighed in her heart, "The captain is really a fierce man!" That's it, cow! Let the division commanders be defeated, and obey! ”

At noon on the same day, the special plane landed at Kunming Airport to refuel, Yunnan Provincial Government Chairman Long Yun, led a large group of civil and military officials, at Kunming Wujiaba Airport, held a large-scale welcome ceremony, originally, according to Tang Qiuli's meaning, landed in Kunming halfway, but it was just a transit, do not want to alarm the place, helpless, the flight route map through the air traffic control center, after the transmission to Kunming, Kunming Local Aviation Department, naturally did not dare not report to the provincial government Chairman Long Yun.

Long Yun is a scheming person, he knows that his comfortable life in the past few years is brought by whose blessing, in other words, who has given Yunnan a rare development opportunity in recent years.

Since Tang Qiuli determined that the whole province of Yunnan, the southern part of Guizhou, the southern part of Guangxi and the whole province of Guangdong have become the rear bases of the overseas combat units of the independent division, all places have ushered in a period of rapid development, especially Yunnan, as a province close to the Indochina Peninsula, has a unique geographical location.

The logistics department of the independent division has brought a large number of military enterprises and other enterprises related to the people's livelihood, which has led to the economic development of Yunnan and entered the fast lane.

With money, it is natural to expand the troops and improve the equipment of the troops; the Yunnan army has expanded from the initial 780,000 to more than 200,000 in five armies and 15 divisions to the present, and this is not counting the local security brigades in various localities, and the equipment of the troops is naturally the most advanced weapons produced by the arsenal of the logistics department of the independent division; if we talk about the level of weapons and equipment, there is almost no gap between the current Yunnan army and the central army.

Of course, the logistics department of the independent division also obtained huge profits in the large arms and equipment transactions with the Yunnan army, and the so-called each takes what it needs, mutual benefit and reciprocity, which is a win-win situation, and the most reassuring and satisfying thing for Long Yun is his own territory, after being included in the jurisdiction of Tang Qiuli, all the forces of the Chongqing National Government, those big officials, no one dares to fight the idea of Yunnan anymore.

This alone, over the course of a year, Long Yun doesn't know how much silver he saved, after leaning on Tang Qiuli from this big tree, the direct benefit is that he doesn't have to worry about looking at the face of the country, and welcomes him in all directions, seeking a chance to survive in the cracks for Yunnan.

In contrast, Guizhou, which is next to Yunnan, did not enjoy such benefits, and from Guiyang to the south, Tang Qiuli absolutely forbade the Guizhou provincial government to meddle in the affairs of the southern Guizhou region, which was tantamount to separating the southern Guizhou region from the administrative division of Guizhou, and became a special area that seemed to be integrated into Yunnan.

Watching the neighbors make a fortune, and the ocean of white flowers is close at hand, it is impossible to get it, Long Yun understands the mentality of the chairman of the provincial government of the neighboring province, if it was not for the Guizhou Provincial Government to stand on the wrong team, willing to be Chairman Jiang's pawn and thug, choose to be the enemy of Tang Qiuli, and also send troops to attack the troops of the independent division, it will fall to today's end, being excluded from the circle of economic development, looking at the ocean of white flowers, only dry drooling!

Long Yun is very glad that he made the right choice at the beginning, Tang Qiuli brought himself unprecedented prestige in Yunnan, and brought earth-shaking changes to Yunnan, in a sense, Tang Qiuli is my big boss of Long Yun, the most commendable thing is that this big boss has no ambition to annex his own territory, so for Tang Qiuli's short transit trip, Long Yun attaches great importance to it from the heart.
