Chittagong, after Wavell received Chu Tiange's reply, the arrogant British were so angry that they slapped the telegram on the table in front of them and shouted: "The Chinese are too bullying, and their expatriates should be compensated if they die?" We have lost so many soldiers, who should we ask for compensation?"

Standing behind him was Lieutenant General Howard, chief of the General Staff of the British Army in India, who said slowly: "There is no compensation in the Cabinet's order, and we can even refuse to apologize on this basis." However, in order to rescue the tens of thousands of struggling officers and soldiers in the POW camp in Singapore, I felt that we should take the initiative to raise the matter with the Cabinet. ”

Wavell suddenly turned his head and glared at him, "Howard, wake up." I admit that the combat strength of the Chinese army is stronger than that of our Royal Army, but don't forget that Singapore's current location belongs to the depth of the Japanese occupation, and the Chinese can send a certain number of troops to break in, but can we take out so many officers and soldiers in a certain time? You don't think the Chinese have the ability to drive the Japanese away from the Malay Peninsula, right? If that's the case, why are they still staying in Indochina? I would have gone back long ago to regain the lost ground. ”

Ouyang Yun missed one thing, he thought that Wavell would definitely be interested in rescuing the Singapore prisoners of war with the help of the Cadet Army, but who expected that Willy's proposal had never been considered from the beginning to the end.

Wavell took it for granted that this matter was absolutely impossible, but Howard thought that the life and death of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were worth a try anyway, and he was not intimidated by Wavell's strength, he met Wavell's sharp gaze and said: "We have not seen the combat strength of the Chinese army, and we cannot give an accurate judgment. But just from their performance in Thailand some time ago, I think I can give them a try. Ouyang Yun is the commander-in-chief of the Xuebing Army, and in his capacity, he will never say anything, since he dares to say that he is sure, I think, maybe he has some strange tricks? Your Excellency, more than 30,000 officers and soldiers have still experienced the test of war......"

Howard said earnestly, Wavell was not a hard-hearted man, he touched his glass eyeball, remembered the Chinese proverb "a dead horse should be a live horse doctor", and after a while said, "Since you are very persistent, then give it a try." It's just that what if the Chinese lion opens his mouth? After this period of observation, I have already seen that this Ouyang Yun is by no means a good type, and he may prescribe a condition that we cannot accept at all. ”

"You have to touch it to find out."

"Well, then it's decided. I can see that the Chinese have the meaning of agitation. Hmph, I'll satisfy the vanity of the Chinese, and I'll get their agitation. ”

"Your Excellency, I will go with you."

"No, the two of us have to have someone stay to maintain the overall situation. The Japanese army has assembled heavy troops in Mawlamyine, and there must have been some big moves recently, and I can rest assured that you are here to coordinate the overall situation. Clarley is still in Hanoi, I'll let him go to Bangkok to join me! With him helping the staff officers, it is impossible for the Chinese to bargain. One thing you should pay attention to is that the surveillance of the French Far East Fleet must not be relaxed, and I have heard that the Germans are also fighting the idea of this fleet. ”

"Yes!"

When Wavell began to make a detour to Bangkok, in the Gu Manor in the United States, Guo Muyi finally met the legendary "eldest lady" Gu Lianyun.

Guo Muyi came quite timely - the White House was quite anxious to initialize the cooperation agreement, Gu Lianyun and Chen Shichang could no longer delay, and because of his arrival, there was a ready-made excuse - Commander-in-Chief Ouyang Yun's special envoy arrived, he will be specifically responsible for this matter, Mr. Special Envoy needs to rest for two days before he can work, so in any case, please ask His Excellency Hull to give two days of grace.

That night, Guo Muyi went to work. He did not immediately deal with the matter related to the agreement, but asked Gu Lianyun for a photocopy of the "Strengthening the US Defense Act" and entered into an in-depth study. After studying the document for more than twenty hours, and after a short two-hour sleep, he began to study the terms of the agreement.

In terms of the ability to engage in conspiracy and trickery, Gu Lianyun and Chen Shichang are everyone, but compared with Guo Muyi, they lack a little heat. The two of them saw Guo Muyi writing and drawing on the terms of the agreement, and two hours later, a revised agreement was presented to the two of them. Gu Lianyun read it first, she couldn't help but exclaim after only reading two pages, and then looked at Guo Muyi and praised sincerely: "The commander-in-chief is really right to send you over, in this way, once the hidden agreement takes effect, then we will take a big advantage, but I don't know if the Americans will notice this." ”

Guo Muyi smiled modestly and said: "The focus of this agreement is to hide the agreement, so the previous terms should be set around it, and some literal changes are just that, I believe the Americans will not mind too much." ”

After reading it, Chen Shichang also highly appreciated Guo Muyi's level of playing word games. At this time, Chen Shichang's status is not low, he is the commander of the aircraft carrier group of the Xuebing Army, although the title has not yet been determined, but as long as the aircraft carrier group is put into battle, he is at least a lieutenant general.

Gu Lianyun: "With this change, this agreement can be regarded as perfect. Then she said to Guo Muyi with a straight face: "Special Envoy Guo, there is something you should find out as soon as possible," she said, taking out a document from the drawer and handing it to him, "Soon after you boarded the ship, the commander-in-chief issued a new order, which was about the super bomb that the Americans were developing. The three of us are allowed to know about this matter, and the information will be destroyed immediately after reading it. ”

Guo Muyi wanted to be shocked after reading it, he took out the lighter he carried with him and lit the information, and asked, "How many people have come over from the little devil?" Do you have any information? ”

Gu Lianyun shook his head.

Chen Shichang said: "The Japanese are hiding deeply this time, and it may take a lot of trouble to solve them. However, we have sent someone to monitor the two targets twenty-four hours a day, and if the situation is not right, it will be dealt with immediately-" Chen Shichang said and made a decapitation gesture with a wave of his right hand.

"It's hard, isn't it? The information shows that Americans attach great importance to the target person! ”

"It's not too difficult. The commander-in-chief must have gone wrong in this matter, and the US government has not yet carried out a plan to develop a superbomb, and it is only symbolic protection for the target. What we want most now is to settle this matter before the agreement is signed, because once the agreement is signed, then we may have only one choice. ”

Regarding the matter of the super bomb, Ouyang Yun really got wrong. The Manhattan Project in the United States was only started at the end of '41. Previously, although the U.S. government had paid attention to Nazi Germany's ongoing "uranium plan" related to this, it did not have a sense of urgency to build a superbomb before Germany because it had not yet declared war on Germany.

Guo Muyi understands the meaning of this sentence, after the signing of the cooperation agreement, Xuebingjun and the United States will be de facto allies. In this case, once the actions against the target are detected by the Americans, the consequences will be unimaginable. He thought for a moment and said, "The agreement is finalized, and I will be in charge of the next operation related to the super bomb." The Great Lady—"

Gu Lianyun blushed and said, "You still call me Representative Gu." ”

"Oh, Representative Gu, I need to get acquainted with the team members involved in the operation as soon as possible."

"No problem. You have a good rest for a day, and tomorrow I will let them come to see you. ”

"Good!" Guo Muyi was really tired, so she didn't insist anymore.
