Chapter 295: People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes

Seeing off Deng Bo and Xu Jinghao, Xie Tian received a few more waves of guests, and it was almost midnight to send off the last group of guests.

There are no guests, Xie Tian is still busy, there are some desk work that he needs to personally handle the instructions, and the bigger the family business, the more things he needs to deal with.

Tang Hao'er brought Xie Tian supper in, two steamed buns and a bowl of mutton meatball soup.

Smelling the fragrance of mutton, Xie Tian put down his pen and smiled: "It's so good, there is mutton to eat." ”

Tang Hao'er put the meatball soup in front of Xie Tian: "It was brought by Sister Jing Hao when she came at night, she said that it was sent by the arsenal, she doesn't eat mutton, and Commander Chu was not at home, so she brought it to us." ”

Xie Tian hummed, picked up a mutton meatball, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and asked, "Have you ever eaten it?" ”

Tang Hao'er snorted and looked at Xie Tian and said, "It was Sister Chunxiang who did it, and arranged for her to sleep in the guest room, and I want to sleep with her tonight." ”

Xie Tian sighed: "Go ahead, talk to her more." ”

She said that she would go back early tomorrow morning, and she had come this time to tell Lao Cui about her pregnancy, but the result was ...... Alas. ”

Xie Tian scratched his scalp and sighed: "How can she deal with Lao Cui's funeral, I will instruct the county to make proper arrangements, apologize to her for me, I have important official business to deal with these days, and I can't go back to Dagu Town to bury Lao Cui." Tell her I'll be back when I find time. ”

As he spoke, Xie Tian wrote a note to note the matter and pasted the note on the left corner of the desk, Tang Hao'er glanced at the dozen or so notes pasted on the left corner of the desk, smiled bitterly, and asked, "What can I do for you?" ”

Xie Tian smiled and shook his head: "You have done a lot of things for me, go and accompany Chunxiang." ”

Tang Hao'er stood up and admonished, "Don't be too late." ”

Xie Tian snorted, he didn't want it too late, but there was no way, fortunately Pang Yuan shared the government affairs for him, otherwise Xie Tian himself was not sure how long he could last.

Eating supper, Xie Tian's mind was full of thoughts about rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns.

It is not realistic to go to Shijiazhuang to solve the 22nd Army Aviation Brigade now, but if there are 20-mm rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns, it can still effectively combat the sneak attack of devil planes.

After three days of busyness, Chief of the General Staff of the Military Commission of the Republic of China, General He Chief, accompanied the Allied delegation to Taiyuan as scheduled.

Pang Yuan Xie Tian and other officials from the Jinji camp and the 10th War Zone greeted Chief He and his party at Caizhuang Airport, and when they saw the group of planes escorting Chief He and his entourage, Xie Tian's saliva dripped down his head.

Nine P40 fighters painted with shark mouths escorted a Douglas C47 military transport plane and another behemoth B-17 bomber, although this lineup is not strong, but in Xie Tian's eyes people are already drooling with envy.

If these planes were mine, I would dare to fly to Shijiazhuang immediately to find trouble with the 22nd Army Aviation Brigade and beat him up as a bitch.

It's a pity, thank God knows that only the B-17 bomber in such a huge fleet is his, or donated by patriotic overseas Chinese in Nanyang.

The C47 transport plane landed first, Xie Tian and Pang Yuan knew that Chief He and the allied delegation must be on this plane, and the two looked at each other and led the military and political cadres who accompanied them to the hatch.

ushered in and sent, the surface article still has to be done enough, isn't the sedan chair just a person carrying people.

The hatch opened, and Joseph Stilwell was the first to emerge from the cabin, followed by Chief Ho and the other five members of the Allied delegation.

Joseph Stilwell is a four-star general of the U.S. Army, deputy commander of the Allied Southeast Asian Theater, chief of staff of the Allied China Theater, and commander of the U.S. forces in the China-Burma-India Theater.

This group of people travels, who walks in front and who walks in the back is in order, and there will be no mistake, just like Xie Tian and Pang Yuan now, in terms of official rank, Pang Yuan's official rank is one level higher than Xie Tian's, Pang Yuan is standing in the first position on the gangway closest to the hatch, and Xie Tian can only be second.

People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and there are some rules that can't be messed up.

Stilwell stretched out his hand to Pang Yuan, who was in the first place, with an expressionless face, and Chief He took a step to the side to introduce on his behalf: "General Stilwell, this is Mr. Pang Yuan, the director of the Jinji camp." Wen Zhi, this is General Stilwell, the deputy commander of the Allied Southeast Asian Theater. ”

Chief He's introduction of Stilwell's official position is naturally the biggest introduction, but in fact, any of Stilwell's official positions are quite bluffing.

Pang Yuan shook Stilwell's hand twice politely and enthusiastically, then covered the back of Stilwell's hand with his other hand and patted it lightly and smiled: "I have admired General Stilwell's prestige for a long time, and I am very fortunate to see it today." ”

Stilwell obviously didn't have much interest in Pang Yuan, so he just dealt with it casually, and his gaze turned to Xie Tian, who was in second place, and he pulled out his hand and stretched out his hand to Xie Tian, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked in a broken Chinese: "This should be General Baoqing Xie." ”

Xie Tian is wearing the general uniform of the national army today, wearing the rank of second-class general, which is very recognizable.

Xie Tian smiled and shook Stilwell's hand, but spoke fluent British English: "Hello General Stilwell, welcome to Taiyuan, on behalf of the officers and men of the 10th Theater and the Chinese I can represent, I thank General Stilwell for his selfless dedication to China's resistance to Japanese aggression." ”

Xie Tian's opening thundered everyone present, and Pang Yuan, who was originally going to act as an interpreter for Xie Tian, looked at Xie Tian in surprise, unable to believe that Xie Tian could speak English so fluently.

Pang Yuan and others knew that in Xie Tian's era, English was a compulsory course for students in the age of studying, and Xie Tian was able to be selected as a Jian-10 pilot, in addition to the hardware requirements such as physical fitness and cultural level, there was also an English assessment that was also a compulsory subject, requiring a minimum oral level of six.

Stilwell looked at Xie Tianleng in surprise for a moment, and suddenly changed to English with a smile: "General Xie, you really gave me another surprise, I heard that you used to be a bandit who occupied the mountain as the king, I think your story will be very exciting, I don't know if General Xie can find a suitable time for us to talk freely." ”

Xie Tian smiled: "Of course you can, I also hope to have a chance to have a heart-to-heart chat with General Stilwell." ”

Stilwell smiled and turned around and put his arm on Xie Tian's shoulder and said, "General Xie, I'm here to introduce you to these friends of the allied forces." ”

The procedure changed, and Stilwell personally introduced the Allied generals who were traveling with him, and his appreciation for Xie Tian was evident from this small change.

However, Chief He was skipped by him, perhaps because he thought that Xie Tian and Chief He had known each other for a long time, after all, they were both Chinese and the main generals of the Chinese military.

Chief He was snubbed, smiled bitterly and took Pang Yuan's hand and complained: "Wenzhi, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really didn't expect you to make a comeback, it seems that this Xie Baoqing really has some ability, he can invite you out of the mountain, and he can even speak foreign language." ”

Pang Yuan smiled bitterly: "Brother Jing, I just just knew that Baoqing will say foreign languages, as for whether he invited me out of the mountain, hehe, it's hard to say, let's talk to Brother Jing slowly when I'm free." ”

Mr. He glanced at Pang Yuan speechlessly, it seems that there is a story here.
