At 6 o'clock in the evening of 31 May 1941, 16 and a half hours had passed before Japan launched an all-out attack on the US forces in the South Pacific.

Two special planes, facing the brilliant sunset in Berlin, hidden in the eastern sky, at the airport, Hitler lost, this magical Chinese, came to Berlin, a total of only 40 hours, but like a strong hurricane, brought fundamental changes to himself and Germany, this change, both excited Hitler, and made him look forward to it.

Tang Qiuli's special plane had disappeared into the sky for a long time, and Hitler was still looking up to the east, and a large group of German party, government, and military dignitaries who came to see him off did not know the mood of His Excellency the Führer at this time, until the last flaming cloud on the horizon was engulfed in the night, and the streets of Berlin were lit up before Hitler returned to the Führer's capital.

Tang Qiuli on the special plane, of course, would not know what Hitler was doing at this time, he sat with Battle and Shanhu, Mei Xue, Liu Xinlan and Bai Luoyu, huddled around them, chatting casually, with endless words, without a theme, just say that!

The meeting between the mountain tiger and Battelle was more manly, the two first hugged each other tightly, and then, each stretched out a hand to shake each other, and began to wrestle, two big men of one meter eight and nearly one meter nine, like two mountains, the result was no winner.

The two looked at each other and laughed, and the mountain tiger said with a smile: "Battle, I haven't seen you for a few years, I am taller and stronger than me, and my strength is also greater, now it's okay, I have a companion, our brothers, or the second general next to the division commander!" "At that time in the Northeast Bloody Hand Regiment. Mountain Tiger and Battle are the guards who are not separated from Tang Qiuli, one is known as the "Crazy Tiger" and the other is known as the "Blood Knife". In the Old Blood Hands, that's all famous.

Battle smiled and asked, "Brother Mountain Tiger, what's the matter, still leave me a place?" However, I really miss the time when we were together, and we killed the little devils happily, okay. I'll be your deputy! ”

Tang Qiuli took over the conversation and said teasingly: "Huzi, stay around, are you staying by my side enough?" Want to hand over the stall of the guard brigade to Battle? Do you want to lead troops to war? If you think about it, I'll take a team with you, oh, a guard brigade. I'll put two major generals! ”

Everyone laughed, and the mountain tiger touched his head and said seriously: "Commander." Don't say it, I really want to go down to that corps and be a brigade commander or something, Battle, you don't know, with your brother's temper, I can't hear the gunshots, where is the danger going, I break my heart all day long, and I'm more tired than leading tens of thousands of soldiers! ”

Tang Qiuli glared angrily. How do you listen to the meaning of the mountain tiger, as if taking care of a child?

Tang Qiuli thought for a moment, and said to Battle sternly: "Brother, what do you want to do when you come back this time?" It's okay to go down to the army, and it's okay to stay with me. It's mostly up to you! ”

Battle smiled and said: "Brother, I'll still lead the troops, I've been in Germany for more than two years, I'm used to it, besides, the German army and soldiers are very good in many aspects, I want to put these excellent things through our troops, through more than two years of practice in leading soldiers, in all fairness, the German army is one of the best armies in the world." ”

"Whether it is the soldier's plain zhì, equipment level, or training standards, as well as tactical guiding ideology, it is commendable, it is a whole generation higher than the little devil's set, and the commanders of the German army are very tactical and strategic, which are worth learning from!"

Tang Qiuli nodded thoughtfully, it is not an accident that the German army can defeat Britain and France, which are also European military powers, and sweep across the European continent, he said: "Battle, I intend to appoint you as the commander of the armored forces of our independent division, brother, you know, the armored forces of our army have not yet formed a complete set of armored tactical theories and tactics, and when you come back, combined with reality, you must work harder in this regard!" ”

Battle smiled and said, "Brother, haven't I gone back to my old job?" To tell the truth, the Asian armies, including the Japanese army, do not have a complete theory and experience of armored operations, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it well if I am not experienced enough! ”

Tang Qiuli said half-jokingly: "Learn to be modest!" The famous commander of the Lightning Assault Division of the German First Panzer Army, the winner of the Iron Cross twice, has made a great name in the German military circles, why, when he came to his brother, he had no bottom in his heart? ”

Battle turned red, and said with some embarrassment: "Aren't I afraid that I won't do well and make my brother embarrassed?" Besides, brother, as far as your ability is concerned, everyone knows it, and when the time comes, you have to help me! ”

After talking and laughing for a while, in the cabin, bursts of breathing broke out from time to time, and unconsciously, it was already the second half of the night, everyone was talking, no one wanted to rest, or Tang Qiuli drove everyone away.

After a whole night of flight, on the morning of 1 June, the special plane landed at Ankara airport for refueling, and as usual, Colonel Hoffmann, head of the German Overseas Military Intelligence Service and the head of the Ankara Intelligence Station, personally came to greet him.

Tang Qiu knew that it must be this guy, who received a report from China, and knew that during his time in Berlin, he stirred up a storm in the sky, and even Goering, the second person in Germany, couldn't eat and walked around, so he stood aside, not to mention that he was a small colonel, if this distinguished guest of the Führer who couldn't be provoked was in a bad mood, and a secret telegram was sent to the headquarters of the Intelligence Bureau, Hoffmann would be mixed up!

Therefore, in the face of Hoffman's enthusiasm, Tang Qiu was lukewarm, reserved and distant, but Hoffman's professional su zhì made Tang Qiuli look up to him, worthy of being an intelligence background, without that order, Hoffman brought a copy of all the local newspapers, each, and especially important news, especially news reports involving the Japanese war against the Americans, were translated into Chinese.

This is amazing, but in more than ten hours, Hoffman took out such a thing, and Tang Qiuli couldn't help but be surprised, he was definitely a talent, Hoffman knew what he needed most, whether he wanted it or not, or deliberately flattered, in short, what he took out was what he needed most, and the excellent characteristics of the Germanic nation were fully revealed!

Tang Qiuli sincerely stretched out his hand and said, "Colonel Hoffman, thank you very much, I remember everything you have done!" ”

Hoffman was a little flattered to let the Führer's distinguished guests say such things, his work was worth it, in all fairness, Hoffman prepared these completely out of the professional instinct of an intelligence officer, to the point that he had not received instructions from home, and a deputy leader of a country like Tang Qiuli urgently needed to understand the current international situation, and from the news reports published in the newspapers, he could smell a different taste!

Hoffman was very happy, he did the right thing, he didn't need to see the benefits right away, as long as this Tang general had his own name in his heart, and the benefits were behind, and more than an hour later, the special plane took off from Ankara and continued to fly east.

Watching the special plane gradually disappear into the blue sky, Hoffman breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully recalled the process of receiving Tang Qiuli twice, and found that he had done a good job, so he drove away happily.

It really fulfilled Hoffman's speculation, and soon after, he was transferred back to China, held another high position, and was promoted to major general, of course, this is a later story, as for whether there is Tang Qiuli's credit, it is unknown, but Hoffman himself definitely believes that it must be related to the Chinese Tang general!

At about 8 o'clock in the morning of June 1, in Washington, the United States, the office of the president of the White House, when Tang Qiuli was still flying in the sky, US President Franklin ? Roosevelt, the second military conference convened urgently, was at a critical juncture.

At 2:50 a.m. yesterday, 20 minutes after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Operations Duty Room of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff received the first urgent telegram from General MacArthur, commander of the US Southeast Asia and South Pacific Headquarters.

The telegram was as short as gold, and the style of His Excellency the Commander, who was accustomed to long speeches, was like two people: "Urgent report, the Joint Staff and the President, at 2:30 a.m. on May 31, the Japanese army suddenly launched a surprise attack on the various defense areas of our army, and until the time the telegram was sent, the fierce fighting was still continuing, and I hope that the country will come up with countermeasures!" ”

There is no beginning or end, how many troops the Japanese army has, where the main direction of attack is, what are the current losses of the US army, how many key points the Japanese army has occupied, MacArthur himself, what countermeasures have been taken, etc., all of which are reported to the country like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the news is bad at home.

At three o'clock sharp, President Roosevelt, who had already fallen asleep, received a call from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Chesterney, "Mr. President, there is very bad news, at 2:30 a.m. today, the Japanese launched an all-out attack on our troops in the South Pacific!" ”

Like a thunderbolt from the sky, and as if he had been hit head-on, holding the phone, Roosevelt's thinking fell into a blank for a moment, and there was a burst of Venus scurrying in front of him, he couldn't believe it, how could it be?

The Japanese would suddenly attack the American troops, without the slightest warning beforehand, without a declaration of war or constant friction, and the war would break out so suddenly, "Mr. President!" Mr. President! On the other end of the line, Admiral Chesterney, who had not heard a reply from the president, shouted eagerly.

Roosevelt had a cold war, and the Japanese hit him head-on, disrupting his square inches, and when he heard Admiral Chestney's shout, he said urgently: "Chestney, order to go down and immediately convene an emergency military meeting!" ”
