The captain of the American gendarmerie frowned slightly, and Duan Yinhua's hat made him a little uncomfortable, so he could only reluctantly ask a female Chinese nurse: "This lady, can you tell me the truth about what you saw and heard before?" "Reporter Duan, what is this American talking to me?" Where can the beautiful nurse understand English, and looked at Duan Yinhua blankly. "He asked you to tell him what you just saw, that is, to correct the British officer's actions!"

Duan Yinhua stroked his forehead, almost expecting what would happen next. Sure enough, before the nurse could speak in Huaxia, the American gendarme shook his head and smiled: "This lady, I'm afraid your compatriots can't testify to you, they can't understand English at all!" Hearing this, the British lieutenant immediately laughed, and hurriedly took a bite back and said: "That's right, I didn't say anything insulting to the Chinese people at all, it was completely this Chinese female reporter who maliciously slandered."

And the reason why I pushed her was simply because she was vexatious and took the lead in attacking me, and these soldiers around me can testify. "Yes, sir, we can all testify." "It was this Chinese female reporter who pointed at us and provoked us first, and then beat our chief. Our chief pushed her away in desperation. ”

"And that Chinese soldier poisoned our commander as soon as he came up, beating our commander all over with blood and wounds, this kind of behavior has seriously violated military law and affected the unity of the Allied forces." "So the most important thing now is to arrest this Huaxia officer who took the lead in beating and hurting people, and conduct a just trial!" The British lieutenant's voice fell, and the dozens of servants and British soldiers standing beside him began to rhythm frantically.

"You guys, you guys, that's nonsense!" Duan Yinhua was so angry that she was about to explode, even if she was very good at kung fu, but her two fists were invincible to four hands, how could one person be able to say anything about a group of people? "Sister, what's going on? What are these ghosts talking about? "When the book is really used, Duan Zhenguo will also see English phrases so far, and he can't understand what the gang in front of him is forcing at all, anyway, he only knows that it is definitely not a good thing.

"Third brother! They, they sued the wicked first, they accused me of wronging that Englishman, and they said they would send you to a court-martial! Duan Yinhua was so anxious that he stomped his feet, but he had no way to prove or refute it, so he could only look at the group of foreign soldiers in front of him with a murderous knife: Ahhhh

"Yinhua, don't worry, the second brother is here!" At this time, Duan Anguo came out of nowhere. "Second brother, you came just in time!" Duan Yinhua was immediately excited, and finally came to a person who could speak English, and hurriedly told the cause and effect. "Well, I understand, don't worry, I won't let them bully you, let alone let them insult our Huaxia Expeditionary Force and our Huaxia Country!"

Duan Anguo nodded very solemnly, and then said to the captain of the American military police in a stern manner: "Listen, this British officer not only broke our war correspondent's camera and attacked her with force, but also called our female compatriots and our expeditionary brothers with a strong insult. This kind of behavior is extremely bad and has caused us great emotional damage! If you, as a gendarme, are not able to enforce the law impartially, then we will have to take our own measures to maintain our dignity. ”

"What do you want to do?" After listening to this very pure American English, the captain of the American gendarmerie looked at Duan Anguo carefully, and only felt that this person was not small, but it was impossible to deal with the British officer in turn because of this, so he could only warn in a stern tone: "As for what is going on in front, I don't know, but anyway, you have already started to beat people, and they have been beaten very hard, this is your mistake!"

So I warn you, don't mess around, or you'll have something to look at. "So, you've already made your decision, haven't you?" The corners of Duan Anguo's mouth curled slightly, and instead of being angry at the partiality of the captain of the American military police, he showed a wicked smile. Without waiting for the captain of the American gendarmerie to answer, Duan Anguo turned back to the Burmese officers and soldiers behind him and said loudly:

"Brothers, this dog-day British guy actually bullied us, insulted our sisters like Japanese devils, and scolded us as Chinese pigs! What's even more infuriating is that these gendarmes also protect and insult our British! "Dog Day is so bullying that it bullies our sisters!" "Dare to insult our expeditionary force, it's just boring." "Sensei talk nonsense with them, it's over!" "Damn, I think these shit things just don't clean up!" "These white-skinned pigs are simply a nest of snakes and rats, and they just don't clean up."

Needless to say, driven by this wave of rhythm, the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which had long been holding back a force around them, was all angry, and they were furious in an instant. We often say, "If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, but if anyone offends me, I will offend others!" At this time, Duan Anguo continued to add fuel to the fire and said: "My Brits are too disagreeable, since they don't admit their guilt, let's talk with our fists!" ”

"Brothers, you can't bear it anymore, you don't need to endure it anymore!" "Dog, you dare to bully our sisters, Lao Tzu will teach you how to behave today!" "Damn, I see that you haven't been beaten enough just now, and you still owe it to clean up!" "Everyone, listen up, give me a little leisure, don't use knives and guns, don't kill people!" "yes, I understand!"

"Roger!" "Then what are you talking about, it's over!" The surrounding officers and soldiers of the Huaxia Expedition seemed to understand something, and they couldn't control themselves at all at all, and as they spoke, the two Tiger Ben soldiers took the lead in making a move, and pulled the British lieutenant who had just spoken disrespectfully to the ground, and then rode on the British lieutenant and fought with his head and face. It's like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pot, crackling and exploding all at once.

The scene instantly got out of control, and the soldiers on both sides went back and forth, and soon intensified into a large group fight with hundreds of people. However, this is only the beginning, and the number of people involved in the group fight, almost geometrically, is exploding and expanding. Not long after the fight broke out here, more British servants rushed over from farther away, and in turn, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese expedition who were in the rest area of the dock also heard the wind and spread their feet and swarmed in.

The scale of the fighting quickly expanded to more than 1,000 people, and finally turned into a super-large group of 10,000 people, and the entire Yemeni dock area was chaotic. Looking at the crowd that suddenly formed in the distance, Stilwell rolled his eyes, looked at Jiang Qiang and said, "Old friend, is this really good?" Do you want to play so big? "Fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come!" Now that it's happened, it's up to them to make trouble, as long as they don't die. ”

Jiang Qiang smiled indifferently, originally he really didn't want to do things as soon as he came up, but it is obvious that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and it is not that if you want to be kind to others, you can coexist peacefully with others! doesn't cause trouble but is never afraid of things, Jiang has always had this temper! What's more, in terms of fighting and individual combat, how could these demoralized British servants be the opponents of the officers and men of the Chinese Army who have received high-intensity training for a long time, have a good body, eat Ma Ma Xiang, and enjoy the nourishment of silk and rice?

At this time, the British provoked the expeditionary force to find the expeditionary force to be angry, and it was purely to find abuse. For Westerners, especially Westerners with the Anglo-Saxons as the core, it is useless to talk about etiquette, only to talk to them about interests, and to talk about fists will work. When you have interests that they can't ignore, and you have a strength that they can't overwhelm, these British will look at you squarely and really look at you as equals.

Well, since the other party has drawn a way and leaned his face over to let himself fan hard, then he has to be happy next, so as to have a good fight, lest these Brits, who are above the top, underestimate themselves and make themselves stumbling! "In this regard, you Americans are quite pragmatic, but the British, who have been sitting in the superpower position for too long, have been lost in the afterglow of the empire on which the sun never sets, and they still can't bend down." After a pause, Jiang Qiang smiled at Stilwell: "Today, we just took this opportunity to let the soldiers of our expeditionary force use their fists to help them recognize a cruel and helpless reality." ”、

Meng Wuan grinned very cooperatively and asked, "Boss, what kind of reality are you talking about?" Jiang Qiang pursed his lips and smiled: "This cruel reality is that the British Empire has fallen inexorably, they should have lowered their noble heads a long time ago, and then opened their eyes to see clearly that our Chinese Expeditionary Force is the real iron army, and our combat effectiveness can easily abuse them." "Alright! Anyway, it's not welcome for us to come here, and conflicts are inevitable, as long as they can be controlled within a certain range! ”

Stilwell naturally knew the truth, and he was not too worried about the chaos in front of him, as Yang Fan said, as long as he didn't get killed, he would have a way to suppress it. "May the Lord bless them from being beaten too ugly, Amen!" At this moment, Stilwell really sweated for the British and their servants who were being beaten with blue skin and swollen faces: What are you doing here, why are you so short-sighted, you dare to fight with Jiang Qiang, a ruthless man?

Aren't you lighting lanterns in the toilet and looking for death! "Don't worry, I'm not going to make things too out of line!"

Jiang Qiang smiled, then nodded at Lu Shengfeng and said, "Pass the order, we don't need too many people on our side, only one-third of the other party's people are enough!" So that these British guys know what is called cowhide and not blown! "Understood! will leave them with nothing to say! ”

Chang Yuan nodded understandingly, naturally understanding that Jiang Qiang wanted to teach the British to be a man, so as not to lose the battle for a while, these Brits made excuses that "young people don't talk about martial arts" and "there are too many people to bully too little" or something. Immediately, Chang Yuan turned around and left the arrangement. Under the deliberate arrangement, the scale of group beatings continued to expand rapidly.

Later, the total number of British troops and their servants who participated in the group fight reached 10,000, of which more than 6,000 British troops participated in the drill. On the other hand, the Huaxia Expeditionary Force invested more than 3,000 people in accordance with Jiang Qiang's orders, only about one-third of the other party. Due to the difference in living conditions, Westerners in this era were generally taller than Easterners in terms of body size, and their body was superior and their bodies were stronger.

The number of British troops alone is twice that of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and if you add the servant army that helps, it is at least more than three times that of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. So on the surface, the British army can be said to have the advantage, plus it is a group fight with bare hands, both sides are very restrained and have no guns and cold weapons, no matter from which point of view, the British army should have an overwhelming advantage in the group fight. Of course, in fact, it is not the same thing, but the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, but many people don't think so.

For example, the commander-in-chief of the British forces in the Middle East, Auchinleck, the commander-in-chief of the British forces in the Middle East, General Rich, the commander-in-chief of the 8th Army, and the chief of staff, Major General Mike, and other senior generals of the British army think so. So after the group fight, Auchinleck, Richie and others did not stop it, but secretly added fuel to the fire. In doing so, in addition to being very resistant to the appointment of the Allied General Headquarters, and extremely unhappy with the prejudice of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, they wanted to give Jiang Qiang and Stilwell, the two commanders and deputy commanders of the theater that they looked down on, a disgrace, and they also tried in vain to boost the morale of the British army through this group fight.

Since the outbreak of World War II, Britain has been beaten all over the ground by the German army in the European theater, losing its armor along the way and being forced into a corner. If it weren't for shit luck to come up with a Dunkirk retreat, otherwise the British Army would have really lost without even a pants. Later, the Japanese began to do things again, and after the perfect sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and the destruction of the American Pacific Fleet, a series of British colonies in Asia were frantically purged, and later even the Australian mainland was lost under the long-term siege and attack.

Later, Italy jumped out to do things in Africa, and finally the British army rose up and beat the Italian army to cry dad and mother, but a few days after being proud, the British army was beaten to the ground by Rommel, the young desert fox sent by the Führer to save the scene. Until now, if it weren't for the crazy aid of the Americans, who sent a lot of technical equipment and military aid to Africa for consumption, if Rommel had not been constrained by the oil shortage, Egypt would have been lost a long time ago, and the Suez Canal would have been lost a long time ago.

In that case, the last supply artery of the British mainland will be completely cut off, and the British Isles will be completely cut off, and the poor Baba will have to rely on the Americans' shipping to survive. Obviously, this is definitely not enough, there is no way to support the strategic material needs of the British mainland, and there is no way to continue to build ships and planes with all its might! A series of crushing defeats in the African theater dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the British and American troops.

In particular, the morale of the British troops who had been fighting against Rommel's army for a long time had almost fallen to the bottom, and many soldiers would even wake up from nightmares in the middle of the night, and a few soldiers would even lose control of their spirits after hearing Rommel's name. Seeing more and more British troops and officers and soldiers of the Chinese Expedition joining the group fight, and the matter snowballed and showed no sign of stopping to expand, Mike, the chief of staff of the British 8th Army, finally began to worry. Mike turned his head to look at General Ritchie, commander-in-chief of the British 8th Army in the armored car, and said with trepidation:

"Your Excellency, the situation seems to be getting out of control, should we intervene? Otherwise, something big is likely to happen. "What are you afraid of, don't you see that both sides are both empty-handed? It's nothing more than a fight, what's there to worry about! Richie raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "At most, the scale is larger, but as long as the two sides do not use weapons and there is no large-scale fight, then it is not a big deal!" Even if the soldiers of the British Empire killed the Chinese by mistake, it was their own fault, and it was not a big deal. ”

At present, the British army was beaten insane by Rommel, like a flock of frightened birds, and completely devoid of the kingly demeanor that a superpower should have, which is simply a big joke in the world! Richie was worried about not knowing how to boost the morale of the British army, but at this juncture, the British soldiers regained their self-confidence, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force sent it to the door itself. Rich's understanding of the Chinese army and the British army was still a century ago, when the British Empire only needed a few thousand men to fight all the way to the city of Beijing, and could force the Chinese Qing government to kneel down and cede land and pay reparations for peace.

At the same time, due to the continuous defeat in the North African battlefield, Richie is now experiencing the crisis of imminent dismissal, and his immediate boss Oklegin personally came to the North African battlefield to prepare to personally take over the command of the 8th Army. Therefore, in order to continue to keep his position, Richie must do something as soon as possible, so in Richie's view, the Chinese Expeditionary Force is a messenger sent by God to save him, and it is the most suitable target to boost the morale of the British army.

Mike glanced at Auchinleck with the rest of his eyes, and saw that he seemed to acquiesce to Richie's approach, so he couldn't help but remind in a low voice: "But the problem is that the Chinese Expeditionary Force is a reinforcement personally brought by President Roosevelt, and Stilwell and Yang Fan are the chief and deputy commanders of the North African Theater after all." "Hehe, so what? This was originally an absurd decision and appointment, and it was just a for the Yankees to ride on the head of the promised British Empire, after all, the British Empire now needed their assistance.

But they were so stupid that they held the Chinese army so high, and even let a Chinese man command the army of the British Empire, which was really too deceitful, and they didn't take the British Empire into account at all! The more Rich spoke, the more angry he became, and then he said murderously: "Just taking advantage of this opportunity, we used the crushing defeat of the Chinese Expeditionary Force to tell the Yankees what a stupid decision they made." Auchinleck, who was sitting on the side, still didn't speak, but the meme was full of approval, and it was clear that he was in the same mind, and he was also full of doubts and dissatisfaction with the decision made by the Yankees.

"Okay!" Unable to convince Richie, let alone communicate with Auchinleck, Mike shrugged his shoulders and remained silent and stopped talking. The armored car suddenly fell silent, and several people in the car began to enjoy the beautiful scenery through the armored car window without distraction, and watched with interest the large group fight that was being staged. At the same time, there were also Patton, commander-in-chief of the US 7th Army, and Sutherland, chief of staff, who were holding a cold sidestander mentality.

Because, for the appointment of the Allied General Command, Patton was also very dissatisfied. Born into a military family, his father was a lawyer, and his mother was a descendant of a famous family. After Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States' participation in the anti-fascist war, Patton was naturally promoted to commander of the 1st Panzer Corps. A few months earlier, Patton had been promoted to commander of the North African Expeditionary Force's Western Task Force, where he led his troops in the North African landings, occupied French Morocco and served as Governor General in Morocco, and then took charge of the formation of the U.S. 7th Army.

In Barton's view, the North African theater should have been the main battlefield of the British Empire, and it stands to reason that the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in Africa and the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in North Africa should be British. Even if the British army performed lamely in the African and Asian theaters, even if the senior British generals represented by Alexander and Ritchie showed bad performance in the actual combat in the North African theater, even if they were not worthy of the post of commander-in-chief of the theater. However, shouldn't he be the one who succeeded the British as commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in the North African theater?

Well, Patton has always felt that even if he is ranked by seniority, he is fully qualified to be the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in the North African theater. However, the Allied commander-in-chief made a shocking decision to parachute Stilwell and Jiang Qiang into the North African theater and occupy the positions of chief and deputy commander-in-chief.

For the name Jiang Qiang, Barton has heard of it for a long time. Stilwell's name is even more familiar to Barton. On the surface, Stilwell was the commander-in-chief and Jiang Qiang was the deputy, but Patton knew what role Stilwell played in the Burma theater, so it could be deduced that the design of the Allied General Command was nothing more than to let Jiang Qiang indirectly control the command of the Allied forces in the African theater.

Although Patton knew that Jiang Qiang was a very good Chinese commander, and he performed well in the Chinese battlefield and the Southeast Asian theater, the Japanese army was beaten badly by him. Especially in the Burma theater and the combination with Stilwell, it was in the limelight for a while, and it was the only highlight in the entire Allied camp.

But so what? The Japanese are not Germans, and the intensity of the war in the Chinese and Southeast Asian theaters, as well as the level of technical equipment, can be compared with the European and African battlefields? Therefore, in Patton's view, even if Jiang Qiang was able to achieve a series of brilliant victories in the Chinese battlefield and the Burma battlefield, it was only because the Japanese were too weak, and it did not mean that Yang Fan had great ability, let alone that he could command the battles in the African theater.

Because the Japanese army and the German army are completely incomparable in terms of the proportion of military strength and technical equipment, the requirements for commanders are also completely different. All in all, Patton had 10,000 reasons for this appointment to the Allied General Command, and he couldn't understand why he wanted to move the combination of Jiang Qiang and Stilwell to the African battlefield. To let a Chinese commander command the Allied forces, is he a fool, or is it a foreign monk who is good at chanting scriptures?
