"These bastards are so deceitful!" Nima's, scolding people and not scolding people for short beatings and not slapping people in the face, it's all like this, you still have to sprinkle salt on the wounds, and humiliate the British Empire by taking pictures? The tiger is not powerful, do you think I am a sick cat? Mike was so angry that the small universe exploded instantly, and he couldn't bear it anymore and stretched out his hand to his waist, ready to pull out his gun. "General Mike, don't be impulsive! Brawls are brawls, no matter how big the scale is, it is only a small friction. ”

Seeing that Mike was about to pull out his gun and shoot, Barton's face immediately turned cold and said, "But if you use a firearm, it will be a military conflict." At this juncture, General Mike does not want the Allies to have internal strife and let the enemy reap the benefits, right? Mike said angrily: "But they have gone too far, and they are completely humiliating the British Empire." Is it possible that in order to take into account the overall situation, our British Empire will make concessions without a bottom line?

Shouldn't you, Americans, as members of the Anglo-Saxon family, stand on the same side as the British Empire? "General Mike, as a member of the big Anglo-Saxon family, we will naturally always stand on the same side, there is no suspense." Barton frowned and said, "However, this time it was your people who smashed the camera of the Huaxia female reporter first, and they also insulted the Huaxia lady and the Huaxia soldier with words very ungentlemanly. In the final analysis, this incident itself was provoked by your army, not the Huaxia army that caused the trouble first, right? ”

"General Patton, you ......" Mike was choked a lot, but he was helpless, just angry and red, and he really couldn't answer. Speaking of which, this incident itself was really the first incident provoked by their British army, and in the process they also contributed to the trouble, lest the world be in chaos. On the other hand, the Chinese army only counterattacked and provoked, and it has always maintained considerable restraint, did not use firearms, and invested only one-third of its own troops.

"Alright, General Mike, let's hurry up and deal with the aftermath! At the moment of the great enemy, our allies still need to cooperate sincerely, otherwise it will not be a matter of losing face! "Patton doesn't want to offend the British to death, after all, the role played by the British is very important now, if there is no powerful navy and air force of the British Empire, the entire Allied camp will definitely be seriously damaged, and there will be no way to continue to fight against the Axis of Evil!

"Alright, that's the end of it. The injured brother will be treated immediately, and the rest of the people will immediately set up camp, and we will stay here for a while to adapt to the environment and climate! Seeing that the other party had confessed and stopped doing things, Jiang Qiang naturally would not "chase after the poor man with the remaining bravery", and immediately nodded at Liao Youtian. "Yes!"

Wang Qiang responded with a smile, if it weren't for Jiang Qiang's accompanying adjutant, he would have to be steady and cautious in everything he said and did, he would have followed Meng Wuan and the others to practice just now. …… Then, after a lot of tossing, Jiang Qiang finally met with Auchinleck, Richie, Mike, Barton, Sutherland and others. After the big drama just now, Auchinleck, Rich and others felt a lot less contempt and contempt for Jiang Qiang, but their hatred and hostility increased a lot.

There's no way, I've just been slapped in the face, and it's weird if I don't have some emotions and hatred at the moment. And what makes Jiang Qiang a little headache is that the two Yankees, Barton and Sutherland, also have a complicated attitude towards him, far less affectionate than Stilwell. From his eyes and his demeanor, Jiang Qiang could clearly feel that Barton did not welcome him and Stilwell's arrival.

Jiang Qiang knew that Patton was very unconvinced and was very reluctant to accept his leadership, and he preferred to be the commander-in-chief of the North African Theater of Operations, and he and the expeditionary force only needed to obey his orders. The British are hostile, the Americans are disgruntled, and they are scattered inside before the war begins, which is undoubtedly very fatal. On the contrary, the German-Italian army led by Rommel carried out the ban, fought bravely, and had high morale.

If you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate, in this case, even if Jiang Qiang has a plug-in in his hand, it is impossible to defeat the powerful German army with an army like sand. Fortunately, Jiang Qiang had already anticipated and assessed the difficult situation in front of him, otherwise he would not have asked President Roosevelt to let Stilwell come to the North African battlefield with him to sing a duet.

Well, the top priority is to find a way to solve the internal problem, and it must be solved before the official start of the war with the German-Italian coalition, otherwise this battle will not be fought, and it will be necessary to return to Burma as soon as possible. Jiang Qiang came to the North African battlefield to take his teammates to turn the tables against the wind, not to sing a one-man show here, and let the more than 200,000 Chinese expeditionary forces go to harden the German-Italian coalition army alone. And if you want the attitude of Auchinleck, Richie, Barton and others to keep them all closely united around them, there is only one way, that is, to completely subdue them with absolute strength and beat them until they kneel and sing conquest!

The big group fight just now was just the first appetizer, and the next thing was the real showmanship. Just by looking at the face, Jiang Qiang already has a countermeasure. Stilwell also understood these truths, and knew very well that if he wanted to win this battle, he must praise Jiang Qiang, so that he could truly establish his prestige and grasp the command of the Allied forces in the North African theater. After greeting and taking his seat, Stilwell glanced around with very serious eyes and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I must solemnly state that I am the Allied Commander-in-Chief of the North African Theater personally selected and appointed by the Allied General Command, and General Jiang Qiang, who is sitting next to me, is the Allied Commander-in-Chief of the North African Theater personally selected and appointed by the Allied General Command!" "I think the meaning of my words has been very clear, the two of us are the supreme commanders of the North African battlefield, and you must all obey all the orders we make in the future." "Ladies and gentlemen, the ugly words ahead. At present, the great enemy must focus on the overall situation, we must order and prohibit, we must firmly unite together, and throw away all useless intrigues, if anyone is to disobey the yang and the yin, then don't blame the ruthlessness of military law. ”

"General Jiang Qiang, who is sitting next to me, has achieved a series of brilliant results in the Chinese domestic battlefield and the Southeast Asian battlefield, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force under his command can be said to be the most elite and powerful army in the world today, and there is no one." "General Jiang Qiang, or President Roosevelt and General Marshall......" Stilwell is also a veteran of World War I, and he also served as the supreme commander of the Burma theater, so he is naturally full of confidence when he speaks, and his words are full of murderous and irresistible majesty.

After praising Jiang Qiang fiercely, Stilwell nodded at Jiang Qiang and said, "Next, I will invite General Jiang Qiang to say a few words to everyone!" "Hmm!" Jiang Qiang nodded his head, then his face turned cold, and he swept the faces of Richie, Mike, Patton, and Sutherland with a cold gaze, and said in a deep voice in English: "Everyone, General Stilwell has already said what he should say just now, but for the victory of the Allied camp, there are some things I must emphasize again." According to our Chinese language, there are no rules, and we must first clarify the relationship between all aspects of the allied forces! ”“……”

Richie, Barton and the others frowned slightly, revealing very unpleasant memes. In the past, Stilwell "took chicken feathers as an arrow", for example, Stilwell had that qualification and status, but Yang Fan went straight to the topic so unceremoniously as soon as he came up, this tone and posture made them feel offended. However, everyone did not attack on the spot, and they all tacitly maintained restraint, because the words were ugly, and Jiang Qiang's words hit the nail on the head, which was a good thing for them.

Because only in this way can we first outline and lead, can we sort out the priorities and determine the backbone of the Allied forces on the North African battlefield, so as to save internal friction and reduce unnecessary troubles. Otherwise, you don't like me, I don't believe in you, we can't give unified orders to each other, and something big will happen sooner or later. After a pause for a few seconds, seeing that everyone had no objections, Jiang Qiang continued: "I think it is necessary for me to solemnly state once again that General Stilwell and I are the chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the North African Theater selected by the Allied General Command!"

As General Stilwell said just now, my orders are equivalent to his orders. "So, that is to say" Jiang Qiang pointed at Richie, then stretched out his finger and pointed at Patton, and said loudly in a raised tone, "It doesn't matter if it's you Richie." Or you Patton, or Alexander the commander of the British 18th Army Group, who was still not present at the El Alamein front, you are only the commander-in-chief of the army, and you must obey my orders unconditionally! ”

"If you have any different thoughts in your heart now, or have any opinions about me personally, you can put them forward on the spot, as long as you have a reason, I will naturally adopt it!" Speaking of this, Jiang Qiang's voice raised several degrees again and said murderously: "However, if you refuse to say it now, but you want to resist and not cooperate in the later combat operations, then don't blame the military law for being ruthless!" ”

"General Jiang Qiang, since you have talked about this, then I have something to say." Hearing this, of course, Rich couldn't sit still, and immediately got up and said: "I think your Chinese Expeditionary Force, our 8th Army, the British 18th Army Group, and the US 7th Army are still better at commanding their respective units."

You are nominally the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in the North African Theater of Operations, but that is only the Nominal Deputy Commander-in-Chief. In short, the army of the British Empire would not accept the blind command of a Chinese man under any circumstances! Richie avoided Stilwell and pointed the finger at Yang Fan, but there was a bit of an art of speaking.

The commander-in-chief of the British army in the Middle East, Auchinleck, remained silent, but in fact, silence was his attitude, and he was definitely unwilling to let the British army accept Yang Fan's command. Patton was also silent, and he was equally unwilling to accept Yang Fan's command, not even Stilwina, the commander-in-chief of the airborne. Stilwell frowned, and his heart was full of anger, but he didn't speak, because he knew that Jiang Qiang was definitely capable of trading, and at this time he only needed to believe Yang Fan.

"Good!" Jiang Qiang didn't laugh angrily, stared at Richie with playful eyes, and said coldly: "General Richie, please make clear a basic fact, that is, it is not that I am idle and have nothing to do, and I took the initiative to come to the North African battlefield to wipe your ass, but that the Allied General Headquarters has repeatedly asked me to come to reinforce and command you to fight the German-Italian coalition forces." "General Jiang Qiang, since you are so capable, then you can directly appeal to the Allied General Headquarters, remove me, the commander-in-chief of the group army, and replace it with a commander-in-chief who can bow down to you."

Rich sneered and sneered: "However, what I want to say is that even if you change the commander-in-chief of the group army, he will not obey your command. That's right, it's still the old saying, the British Imperial Army will never accept the blind command of a Chinese! "General Auchinleck, I would like to ask, do you have the same attitude as General Richie?" Jiang Qiang did not immediately respond to Richie's provocation, but looked at Auchinleck with a smile.

Auchinleck spread his hands and said: "I'm really sorry, I came to North Africa for some reason to inspect the battlefield, and I am still in the process of understanding the situation, and I will not participate in any military decisions." "Auchinleck's hand is "nothing to do with himself" is very slippery, anyway, there is a pawn who crosses the river and is charging into battle, he can watch the fire from the other side and see how this hateful Huaxia commander makes a fool of himself.

Even if Richie messed up and completely offended Jiang Qiang, it was a big deal that he personally went on the field and served as the commander of the 8th Army. Anyway, the commander of the British 8th Army has changed commanders several times, and he doesn't care about changing another idiot! Jiang Qiang laughed and said, "I see, General Auchinleck, you mean to say that I can treat you as if you don't exist, right?" ”“……”

Auchinleck's brows furrowed suddenly, but he couldn't answer the rebuttal, who let himself put his face over and let people beat him? "General Richie, General Auchinleck, don't mind, I'm just an uneducated rough man in the army, and I like to speak straight. And what I just said was just to state a fact, and it didn't mean much else! ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Qiang said in a paused tone: "I have a problem with this person, that is, I like to do things perfectly, since I am here, no matter how difficult it is, I will have a beginning and an end." Do you think I'm here with more than 200,000 elites?

But if I don't even have the ability to command the theater, how can I be qualified to command the nearly one million elite Allied troops in the North African theater? And on what basis to defeat the German-Italian alliance? "Oh, is it? General Jiang Qiang, your determination is very great, I am really moved. Richie was still very dismissive, and said with a sneer, "Then I want to see, how did you get the command of the British Empire's army?" ”

Richie's heart was full of anger and humiliation, and today he made up his mind to fight Jiang Qiang to the end, in order to maintain his ethereal glass pride and the dignity of the British Empire. "Fake, this idiot is really a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water." Stilwell was so furious that he wanted to immediately ask someone to drag this thing out and shoot him for three minutes!

"General Richie, I'm not interested in talking to you, and I don't want to play children's games with you." Seeing that this thing was playing hooligan with himself, Jiang Qiang's face also turned cold, and he said coldly: "Everyone is a soldier and a man, and your British Empire has always admired gentlemanly demeanor the most, so let's use the way of a soldier, the way of a man, and the way of a gentleman to decide the ownership of the command, how about it?" ”

"In the way of a soldier, in the way of a man, in the way of a gentleman?" When these hats were buttoned down, Richie suddenly became a little anxious, and hurriedly pretended to be disdainful and snorted: "General Jiang Qiang, do you want to duel with me?" I'm sorry, I'm not afraid to duel you, but as senior Allied generals, we represent more than just ourselves.

Therefore, I think that using this kind of personal duel to decide the command of hundreds of thousands of Allied forces is too child's play, too hasty, and not the work of wise men like us. ”

As he spoke, Richie's arrogance gradually softened. The reason is simple, if Jiang Qiang really proposes to have a duel with him to decide the ownership of the command, Richie will be embarrassed. Although it is no longer the medieval era where duels were rampant, duels are still very popular in the West. Therefore, once Richie refuses to duel with Jiang Qiang, his reputation will inevitably be seriously damaged. If he had agreed to it, Richie would have known that he would definitely lose if he thought about it with his feet. "General Richie, you're thinking too much."

The corners of Jiang Qiang's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile: "I won't rely on my young body to propose a duel with you as an old man." That's not gentlemanly behavior. ”

"General Jiang Qiang, you know a lot!" Richie breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he said stiffly: "However, I must tell you very seriously and responsibly that in the dueling arena, youth is often not an advantage, but a fatal disadvantage. "Then thank you General Ritchie for your mercy." Jiang Qiang didn't want to do too much of a battle of words, so he immediately changed his words and said: "General Rich also said just now, as the senior commanders of the allied forces, we all shoulder the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

What we are fighting for now is the command of the Allied forces in the theater of operations, so even if we have to duel, it can only be a duel in terms of command skills, so our dueling arena should be a duel on the sand table, not on the lawn, General Richie, what do you think? "No problem. As long as you can win me in the war games, the British 8th Army will accept your command unconditionally, but if you lose, the Chinese Expeditionary Force will accept my command! ”

Richie nodded cheerfully, confident in his tone. As a top student who graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom, Rich is still very accomplished in "talking on paper", and he does not believe that he will lose to a Chinese guy in a war game. Well, you damn Huaxia. Does mud really know what the sand table is for? "Of course."

Jiang Qiang nodded very seriously and then looked at Barton and said, "As long as you can win me in the war game, the more than 200,000 soldiers of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force will unconditionally accept your command." If you lose, you must accept my command unconditionally, General Patton, do you have any opinion? "I completely agree with this duel."

Patton responded without thinking: "If you can win us in the sandbox, then the US 7th Army guarantees to accept your command unconditionally." "Two high-achieving students from famous military schools face off against you a Chinese dumpling, if you don't win like this, I'd better find a piece of tofu and kill you! Barton was full of confidence and thought.

Jiang Qiang nodded happily and said, "Very good, then it's such a happy decision." Let's win or lose in one game! "No problem!" Richie nodded happily, and said with a rare generosity, "General Jiang Qiang, you choose the topic." ”

"Okay, then you're welcome!" Jiang Qiang raised his eyebrows slightly, didn't ink with them, and said directly: "Just choose the Battle of Gachara." "Fack!" Richie's face turned green suddenly, and he stared at Jiang Qiang with extreme anger: Lao Tzu was pretending to be polite to you just now, are you so shameless?

"Even-bought karma!" Barton, who was opposite Richie, couldn't help but roll his eyes, and kept vomiting in his heart: I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen such shamelessness. The Battle of Gachala had been over for a few months, and in this battle, Rommel's North African Army had won a textbook victory. It was precisely because of this German victory that Auchinleck had to order the main forces to retreat east to the El Alamein Line, leaving only the South African 2nd Army to defend Tubrug.

Seven days later, 35,000 Allied troops surrendered to the Axis forces, another major Axis victory following the fall of Singapore to the Japanese. The defeat at the Battle of Gachala and the fall of Tubrug removed Cunningham and Montgomery from command and replaced them by Ritchie and Alexander, respectively.

After Rommel's Afrika Korps captured Tubrug, it continued to advance on Egypt, and had already launched several attacks on the El Alamein line. The Anglo-American coalition army, which had no way to retreat, could only resist desperately and invested a large amount of technical equipment to play with the German army.

Prior to this, Barton and Ritchie had reviewed the Battle of Gachala many times when they were idle, but each time they were defeated by the German-Italian army and lost the war without any suspense. So Barton and Richie have no doubt that Jiang Qiang only needs to follow Rommel's routine to win the war games of the Battle of Gachala without any suspense. Auchinleck's face also became very ugly, although he was not a direct battlefield commander in this battle, he had nothing to do with him. At this moment, I really suspected that Jiang Qiang had deliberately come to slap him in the face.

"Tell you to pretend to be forced, tell you to play force, this is the end of the calf, right? Who is Jiang Qiang, how can you deal with it? Looking at the few people in front of him eating something else, Stilwell couldn't help but steal the fun. However, at this moment, Jiang Qiang shook his head again and again: "General Richie, General Patton, I think you have misunderstood!" I said the Battle of Gachala, but I didn't say I wanted the Germans. ”

Before everyone could react, Jiang Qiang then said in a very affirmative tone: "In this war game deduction, I choose the allies, and you play the German army, is this interesting enough?" ”

Jiang Qiang's choice of this topic is not purely pretending, one is because he has been planning for a long time, and he has specially deduced several major battles in the current time and space before he came, and he is sure enough whether it is a tailwind or a headwind. Second, Jiang Qiang is nothing more than defeating Rich, Barton and others at the most unexpected tricky angle, leaving them completely speechless. "Watts?" "General Jiang Qiang, are you serious?" Ritchie, Patton and others were really confused, they originally thought that Jiang Qiang would definitely choose the German army shamelessly in order to gain command, and then win without a doubt. As a result, he never expected that Jiang Qiang would kill himself and choose the absolutely weak allies, which is simply an international joke!
