Chapter 1093: I Can Afford It

, Chapter 1093 I can afford to drag it out

Alexander invited Stilwell and Chen Cheng to Tengchong to see Tang Qiuli together, which in itself was with a great purpose, and the two of them were also drawn in order to strengthen their momentum, and it was not ruled out that the three parties joined forces to put pressure on Tang Qiuli.

But when he arrived at the headquarters of the independent division in Tengchong, there was no imaginary bending and sincere fear, and a room of young officers didn't take these people seriously at all, Chen Cheng couldn't hold his face, and simply played the role of the master of ceremonies, and reported Alexander and Stilwell's trumpets out, thinking that these two high-nosed, blue-eyed foreigners could calm the scene.

Fortunately, someone finally picked up the conversation, otherwise, Chen Cheng's words would have to fall to the ground, fall to pieces, and the possibility of the old face being stuffed into the crotch of his pants is possible, the young major with the highest rank, after listening to Chen Cheng's words, he was not shocked or cramped at all, but just let out a slightly higher "oh", and then asked Chen Cheng, "Excuse me, who are you?" ”

Alexander and Stilwell couldn't help but glance at Chen Cheng who was already blue in confusion, according to their understanding, Chen Cheng's status in the squadron is definitely not low, and he can be ranked in the top five, and the minister of military orders, the boss of the command system, and the troops of the independent division are within his jurisdiction, but this officer does not know him, which can't help but make Alexander and Stilwell have other associations.

The black line on Chen Cheng's face burst out, and he was already on the verge of getting out of control, if this was in the troops of the Central Army, with a few words from this stinky boy, he would have died three times, but this is on the territory of Tang Qiuli, Chen Cheng stomped his feet in Chongqing, and the ground trembled, and people didn't buy it!

Chen Cheng was quite reasonable, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "I am Chen Cheng, the head of the Military Command Department of the Military Commission of the National Government," this has an effect, the major and the other officers in the room immediately stand up and salute, "Hello Minister Chen, all the officers of the Staff Office of the Independent Division, salute you, please give the commander instructions!" ”

Chen Cheng felt at that time that the anger in his stomach quietly dissipated unconsciously, the so-called "those who don't know are not to blame", maybe he really didn't know himself, but when he turned his face, he saw Alexander and Stilwell, with an uncomfortable face, daring to love these ** officials, he never looked at them with his eyes straight from beginning to end, and saluted Chen Cheng, there was no part of the two generals at all!

Chen Cheng suddenly turned a corner, and until now, he hadn't even seen a senior officer of the Independent Division, what kind of teeth were grinding with this junior officer, in the end, he lost his identity, his face quickly returned to calm, and he asked in a respectful tone: "Excuse me, is Vice Chairman Tang here?" General Alexander, deputy commander-in-chief of the Allied Chinese theater, and General Stilwell, chief of staff, arrived to discuss military aircraft matters with the deputy chairman. ”

Chen Cheng has no courage or confidence, he dares to name and ask to see Tang Qiuli, in terms of position and military rank, Chen Cheng is several times shorter, even Chairman Jiang is polite in front of Tang Qiuli, how much he tilts his head to speak, he Chen Cheng is on the territory of the independent division, pretending to be a big clove of garlic, either looking for a cigarette or looking for himself.

In the opposite room, Chang Feng and Yang Ketian, who saw this qi clearly, covered their mouths and almost laughed, these three big guys with shelves were not tempered at all by a major, Chang Feng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with laughter, and said to Yang Ketian: "Director Yang, your staff office is really talented!" ”

Yang Ketian couldn't hide his smugness, "That is, this young man is the head of the first combat section, but my right-hand man, otherwise, can he give these people a dismount first?" At this time, the major said: "I'm sorry, Chief Chen, our independent division has discipline, and people from other departments other than the division commander's special guard and chief of staff have no right to know the whereabouts of the division commander, so I hope you will forgive me!" ”

A small nail that is neither soft nor hard, Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought to himself, "The people of the independent division, they are really arrogant and domineering, what kind of bullshit discipline, don't be Tang Qiuli deliberately avoiding foreigners, making excuses, right?" But this time, he came to ask for someone, so Chen Cheng said more and more kindly: "Then please trouble the major to invite your chief of staff!" ”

This time, the major agreed very happily, Chang Feng tidied up his military uniform, and said to Yang Ketian, "Okay, it's time for the two of us to appear, cool them down for a while," For a long time, Alexander, Stilwell and Chen Cheng were on fire, and their hearts were a little restless, only to see two senior officers coming over at the end of the corridor, a major general and a colonel, it was Chang Feng and Yang Ketian.

Chang Feng naturally couldn't pretend not to know Chen Cheng, that scene was a bit overdone, after receiving Chen Cheng, Chang Feng stood up and saluted in a proper manner, "Chief Chen, I'm sorry, I dealt with urgent military affairs just now, I don't know that Chief Chen is here, I don't know if Chief Chen is in Tengchong, what's the matter?" Who are these two ......? ”

Chen Cheng naturally also knew Chang Feng, as the chief of staff of the independent division, Chen Cheng had a lot of dealings with Chang Feng, and when he saw Chang Feng asking like this, he had to make a cameo appearance as the master of ceremonies again, and introduce the identities of Alexander and Stilwell, Chang Feng pretended to be surprised and said: "Disrespectful, disrespectful, it turned out to be the commander of the Allied forces, the guards, serve tea!" ”

When I arrived at the headquarters of the independent division, it took more than half an hour, and the butts of several bigwigs were able to get a chair, speaking of which, it was uncomfortable enough, how could Chen Cheng have the heart to drink tea, this matter could only be determined by meeting with Tang Qiuli, and asked Chang Feng anxiously, "Chief of Staff, I don't know if Vice Chairman Tang is in Tengchong, and I hope that the Chief of Staff will introduce you on your behalf, and the two generals of the Allied Forces have important matters to discuss with the Vice Chairman." ”

Chang Feng raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said very regretfully: "Chief Chen, it's really unfortunate, yesterday morning, our division commander went down to check the training situation, according to the news from the guards, he has arrived at the station of the mobile corps in the southeast of Nanning, and this morning, he went deep into the Qinzhou area, and he can't rush back in a short time," Chen Cheng stood up in surprise.

When he was at Kunming Airport, Alexander had already told Stilwell and Chen Cheng about the situation in Mandalay, time waits for no one, and the Japanese army does not wait, and in a few more days, I am afraid that the British in Mandalay will be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army.

Chang Feng added, "Our division commander is also worried about the war in Burma, so he will send troops to supervise training, if you notify us before the commanders come, the division commander will be waiting for you to come in Tengchong, you see, what now?" After Chang Feng finished speaking, he spread his hands in great embarrassment, with an expression of helplessness.

What to do, what else to do, only wait, Chen Cheng couldn't help but look at Alexander resentfully, it was all this Englishman who was clever and wanted to make a surprise attack, and suddenly blocked Tang Qiuli in Tengchong, so that he couldn't hide if he wanted to, now it's good, Tang Qiuli ran so far away from Qinzhou, Alexander didn't know the specific situation in China, but Chen Cheng knew that it would take four or five days to return to Tengchong from Qinzhou at the earliest, of course, Tang Qiuli took a plane in Nanning, it was another matter.

But the key is that Tang Qiuli is willing to rush back all the way back and meet Alexander, after all, if he wants to use the soldiers of other people's independent divisions, he has to weigh who he puts on them, Chairman Jiang has nearly one million troops in his hands, and he doesn't want to go out of a single soldier, Chen Cheng absolutely doesn't believe it, with his experience in dealing with Tang Qiuli for many years, Tang Qiuli can't see it at all about this kind of trick that obviously uses the troops of the independent division as guns?

Chen Cheng repeated Chang Feng's words to Alexander, Alexander's face was a little pale at that time, in four or five days, his troops were in Mandalay, and they had already been dumplings made by the Japanese, and at that time, what was the use of Tang Qiuli sending troops again? Go collect the bodies of the British?

In a hurry, Alexander spoke a little unpolitely, and made a big call to Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng brought the translator, lying in his ear, and gave him a non-pulling translation, Chen Cheng showed a look of embarrassment on his face, Alexander told Chen Cheng that he must order Tang Qiuli to rush back to Tengchong within one day, otherwise, he would have to bear the consequences of the British army being surrounded by the Japanese, because of his relationship, the army of the British Empire, suffered heavy losses in Burma, Let Tang Qiuli think carefully about the consequences of Yan zhòng!

In fact, Chang Feng is quite proficient in English, and while listening to Alexander's angry words, he sneered in his heart, "Threat, it's this set again, how come foreigners are all virtuous, did this Englishman take the wrong medicine?" What the division commander usually hates the most is being threatened, not to mention being a foreigner, just because of these words of Alexander, the division commander will eat him. ”

Chang Feng remained silent, and looked at Chen Cheng blankly, as if asking, what did this General Alexander say? Chen Cheng knew that Alexander was in a hurry, this Englishman was also a little ignorant of current affairs, begging for people to be such a big name, with Tang Qiuli's temper, if he was present, he could blast the British out on the spot, of course he couldn't tell Chang Feng truthfully, wouldn't that be a bad thing?

Chen Cheng said to Chang Feng very tactfully: "Chief of Staff, I also hope that you will try your best to inform the vice chairman to rush back to Tengchong, after all, it involves the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the Allied Britain, the relationship between us and the allies, and the future war situation in the Indochina Peninsula, this qiē depends on Vice Chairman Tang's vigorous action, and I and the two commanders of the allied forces are in Tengchong, waiting for the vice chairman to return, what do you think?" ”

Of course, Chang Feng had no opinion, and agreed to Chen Cheng's request very happily, and ordered Yang Ketian, chief of staff, to immediately send an urgent telegram to the division commander, stating the stakes, and reminding the division commander to return to Tengchong as soon as possible to discuss major matters.

Chang Feng arranged for Alexander, Stilwell and Chen Cheng to stay, and after saying goodbye, he returned to the car of the command headquarters, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, "It's useless for the British to be in a hurry, when to meet, the division commander has the final say!" ”
