MacArthur was annoyed and angry, this is a arrogant guy, he thinks very highly of himself, he is extremely proud that he can run such a large overseas territory for the United States of America, and he is also the oldest of all the senior generals of the US military, only General Marshall, who is currently the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, can compare with him.

Historically, the American famous generals in the European theater of World War II, such as Bradley, Patton, etc., are his juniors, even Eisenhower, who served as the president of the United States, was also his assistant, MacArthur served as the commander of the "Rainbow Division" of the US Army, and when he fought in the European theater of World War I, Bradley, Patton, etc., were still rookie cadets, and Eisenhower was a guy who could only play football.

Now, in front of many guests and dignitaries, the Chinese, who were dozens of years younger than him, accused of being idiots and the like, with MacArthur's temper, how could he tolerate it, he pointed his finger at Tang Qiuli, his lips trembled with anger, and he couldn't say a word.

He has been in the army for decades, and he has been a mighty general for more than 20 years, and within the sphere of influence of the US military, his own words are holy decrees, saying one thing, he can let Philippine President Quezon amend the constitution and increase the rank of generalissimo of the army, navy and air force, which has never been seen in Philippine history, and has never been humiliated in this way, especially in front of this Chinese whom he hates so much.

MacArthur took the case, and according to his temper, he was eager to call in the guards and throw this hateful Chinese into prison immediately, and Stilwell was on the side, slapping him with a fierce look. MacArthur's impulsive mind calmed down, but he just looked at Tang Qiuli coldly, and the guests all looked at him, and the atmosphere was tense and almost exploded.

Tang Qiuli still had an angry smile that didn't pay for his life. Pretending to be surprised, he said, "Oh! General MacArthur, why are you so excited? Do you agree with me and give me a standing ovation? No, I'm just telling the truth! This is for reference only. ”

Tang Qiuli's words almost made everyone fall to the ground, and they muttered to themselves, "This China's Tang Qiuli." It's too aggressive, I didn't see the general's face, it was already bruised with black lines, "MacArthur really doesn't want to stay on this occasion." He was afraid that he would not be able to control his feelings, so he pulled out a gun and killed this Chinese, or had a heart attack, and hung here on the spot.

MacArthur's face was gloomy, resisting the urge to strangle Tang Qiuli. said: "I'm very sorry, General Tang, Your Excellency Generals, I suddenly felt unwell. I need to go back to rest, and I'm out of company. Stilwell, you're going to entertain these guests from afar in my place. Leave! ”

Tang Qiuli shook his head regretfully, and said to Alexander, Brooks, and Stilwell: "It's a pity, I still have a lot of questions, I want to discuss with General MacArthur and ask him for advice, but I didn't expect that the general's health is not well, it's really worrying!" After speaking, he kept smacking his tongue, with a look of regret and regret.

At this moment, even these three people have the urge to go violent, MacArthur can brush his sleeves away, they can't, what they represent is the image of their own country, the three people suddenly understood that tonight, it is a very painful thing to be on the same table with Tang Qiu, this Chinese. How so? It's disgusting, you can't offend, and you can't tell you when you want to embarrass yourself.

Tang Qiuli didn't care, he just wanted to cut MacArthur's face in such a public occasion, and he also warned him in advance, tomorrow's military meeting, be honest, your routines are not good for me, Alexander chose to be silent, in fact, he didn't know what to say.

Stilwell didn't know what kind of topic to mention, the four of them were silent, just absentmindedly took a sip of the red wine in the glass, Tang Qiuli was calm, the other three people, each with their own thoughts, the doubts in Brooks's head have not been eliminated, since MacArthur was so troubled that he couldn't get off the stage, there was no need for him to be uncomfortable on military issues.

Soon, you might as well talk about some other topics, and you can also liven up the atmosphere, "Why didn't this Chinese Tang Qiuli drag a braid behind his head?" How long are his beautiful lady's little feet? Brooks' gentlemanly demeanor had once again spared him, and he felt that before asking these questions, he needed to ask Stilwell's permission as a master to be in line with aristocratic demeanor.

After listening to Brooks' extremely low whisper, Stilwell's face changed drastically, and he almost blocked this guy's big mouth, "My living ancestor, are you in the water?" How do you think of these ridiculous and boring questions, Yelang's arrogance is just this kind of expression, strange, just this curiosity kills the characteristics of the cat, how can he achieve the position of chief of staff, thank God, Brooks asked for his opinion first, otherwise, Stilwell absolutely believes that at this moment, Brooks is already a person who fell to the ground and passed out, leaving only half a life. ”

Stilwell's back spine was full of cold sweat, what kind of drinking party is this, the host is half dead in anger, and he left the table halfway, if this Australian guy is carried out with blood on his face again, it will be lively, and he hurriedly used the excuse to greet the other guests, and pulled Brooks out of here, Brooks still complained ignorantly.

"Dear General Stilwell, I haven't asked that Chinese about the question I am puzzled about," Stilwell was speechless, eager to punch this guy's big mouth, in fact, since MacArthur angrily brushed his sleeves away, the relaxed atmosphere of the reception has disappeared, and the guests also feel bored.

This is here to attend a drinking party, it is clearly a lecture taught by General MacArthur, who was taught by the young Chinese, and then, under the pretext, it is the Englishman Alexander, who is even less interested in staying here, and more importantly, he is separated from Tang Qiu, there is an indescribable feeling of oppression and awkwardness.

MacArthur made a big show and carefully arranged, as a rehearsal before the military meeting, aiming to give Tang Qiuli a drunken party, which ended in less than two hours, and on the way back to the hotel, Shanhu stretched out his thumb, "Xiaoqiu, be happy, treat that bullish Yankee, that's how it should be." ”

Mei Xue said something else, "Qiu Li, the Australian who was with MacArthur, always looked at me with ill intentions, very annoying! Tang Qiuli sat up straight, "Xiaoxue, why didn't you say it earlier, I simply cleaned him up, hum, dare to beat my wife's idea, live impatiently?"

Brooks is really wronged, he is just interested in Mei Xue's feet, but he is recognized by Mrs. Tang as a big pervert-level character, if he prides himself on being the most gentlemanly, Lieutenant General Brooks, Chief of Staff of the Australian Army, will he be aggrieved by a serious illness when he learns that he is such an image in the eyes of this beautiful and intoxicating Chinese girl? I don't know.

On 15 September, in the conference room of the US military headquarters in Manila, the high-level military meeting of the Allied forces in China and the Southeast Asian theater, which had been prepared for half a month, was finally held as scheduled.

On the left and right were Alexander and Brooks, as well as their assistants, and what was a little surprising was that Chairman Chiang's special representative, Mr. Yang Yongtai, sat next to Brooks, and the seat was higher than Tang Qiuli.

As for Tang Qiuli, I'm sorry, you are at the end of the seat, and a group of generals from small Asian countries who are obviously brought in by the Americans, one by one, with humble expressions and cramped manners, sit there, shrinking their heads and heads, with a flattered look on their faces.

In fact, as long as Tang Qiuli, Alexander, and Brooks did not raise objections, the generals who were purely ornamental stared at MacArthur's gushing mouth with full attention, for fear of missing every opportunity to applaud and express their agreement.

Tang Qiuli listened to MacArthur's tirade in a dull manner, and felt ridiculous about the practice of covering up his ears and stealing the bell for the Americans; MacArthur's speech was a theme, ensuring stability in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, eliminating dangerous factors, and to put it bluntly, it was to eliminate the Japanese forces, but the Japanese were not mentioned once in the whole article.

While talking, Alexander asked Tang Qiuli, "Dear General Tang, I don't know when our British Empire troops will be able to return to Burma and Indochina?" ”

Tang Qiuli replied very cheerfully: "General Alexander, I myself am in the Allied headquarters, I do not hold any position, so I have no right to decide the actions of the British ** team, if Your Excellency the general, think that the British army has such a force, can counterattack Burma at any time, of course I raise my hands in agreement, it just so happens that my independent division troops, in the face of the superior Japanese army, are under great pressure, and it is also something I hope to fight side by side with the allies." ”

Alexander immediately closed his mouth, and secretly scolded Tang Qiuli for being cunning in his heart, if the British army had such strength, why did he bother to ask? Just waved his troops back, he just asked Tang Qiuli to make a promise in front of the representatives of various countries, so as to lay a foreshadowing for the British army to return to Burma in the future.

He didn't know that the British governor in India, for the sake of the lives of a brigade soldier, had been forced to leave Tang Qiuli and sign an alliance under the city, and the opportunity for the British to re-set foot on Burmese soil was as full of accidents as a comet hitting the earth.
