On July 25, Li Junhao informed Wen Qiang that he expected to trade in Changsha on the 4th or 5th early next month.

After receiving the notice, Wen Qiang immediately contacted the headquarters and reported the information. In his mind, Pan Sen should have arranged for the goods to be shipped, although he didn't know the mode of transportation, but he thought it should be water transportation.

After the Chongqing headquarters received Wen Qiang's telegram, Dai Li still asked Mao Renfeng to be in charge of this transaction, and the goods organized by the military command were also transferred to Changsha from all over the southwest, and the road was difficult to travel, and the time was still a little tight; Moreover, there are still various forces on the road to set up card checks, that is, the current strength of the military commander has increased greatly, otherwise it is really impossible to do this business!

-----------------

On the side of Huhai, that night, Li Junhao organized another temporary runway construction in the racecourse, this time it was more efficient, one hour to build, one hour to dismantle. In this way, the process of laying the runway, taking off, dismantling the runway, and evacuating can be completed in two and a half hours, so that he can accurately grasp the time.

For the sake of secrecy, he gave 20 US dollars in overtime pay to each of the marines involved in the operation last time, and this time he directly gave them Coke with "ingredients", turning these 150 people into real people!

However, in the process of this time, the manager on duty in the racecourse looked obviously a little embarrassed, obviously unwilling to let them use the racecourse frequently and without compensation.

This made him a little unhappy, but he also understood, after all, this was the territory of British merchants, and he, an American, always came to "take advantage" a bit too much! So he started thinking about other possibilities.

It is the most appropriate way to take the horse racing hall and build a permanent airport runway in it, but it can't be done at this time, but it should be possible in the future; At present, it is better to find a suitable site to build a runway in other places! He had already seen the three barracks of the Fourth Regiment of the Sea and Army before, but they were not suitable, and he thought of a new place - Jiaozhou Park located at the west end of Jing'an Temple Road, at the junction of Jiaozhou Road and Changping Road!

It was a special place, and the last 800 brave men who insisted on fighting in the Battle of Songhu were imprisoned in the park, and the Italian army was in charge of guarding them.

Li Junhao really wanted to rescue these heroes immediately, but the time was still a little short; Of course, he could have forcibly rescued them, but what about after he was rescued? One is that he will not be able to settle them, and the other is that he himself will completely turn against Britain, Italy and other countries because of this matter; Although he is not afraid of this consequence, it is very likely that he will be transferred out of Huhai because of this, in that case, all his previous layouts will be in vain!

Forget it, if someone is unhappy, they won't be happy! Anyway, the board of directors of the Jockey Club can't stop him, let's complete this transaction first!

-----------------

Also on this day (July 25), the Yunnan-Burma Highway, an important transport line for international aid to China, was opened to traffic. As military attache at the U.S. Consulate in China, Joseph Warren Stilwell said goodbye to his "friends" at the national government reception in Chongqing.

A few days later, Stilwell would leave Chongqing and personally take a trip to the Yunnan-Burma Highway to conduct an inspection, and then return to China to report on his work and officially take over as the commander of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Division of the United States Army.

The scheduled route is to start from Kunming, pass through Chuxiong to Xiaguan, determine the road conditions of the eastern section of 411.6 kilometers, and then continue westward, from Xiaguan to Lashio, Burma via Baoshan, Longling, Wan Town, and then walk through the western section of 547.8 kilometers to see the actual situation of the eastern section that the Burmese side is responsible for building.

I don't know why, but he has a feeling that he is very interested in this road, and he is already a little eager to go!

-----------------

On July 29, Li Junhao received a telegram from the Chongqing Embassy, in which Stilwell said goodbye to him, explaining that he was going to return to China, asking him to take care of himself, and hoping to meet again in the future......

Li Junhao replied with some emotion: I wish Mr. Stilwell to re-enter the barracks, show his ambitions, and be promoted to general as soon as possible! Looking forward to seeing you again......

On 30 July, the Danzig crisis broke out in Europe.

Because of the defeat in World War I, the former Prussian city of Danzig became a quasi-independent city-state, and because of the Danzig corridor formed by this outlet, Germany mainland and East Prussia were divided into two areas that could not be connected, which became a pain in the hearts of the Germans!

In the years that followed, Danzig was governed by a local parliament and overseen by a high commissioner appointed by the League of Nations, and since it was surrounded by Polish territory, the port facilities were also open for the use of the Poles, but the Poles did not feel at ease by the mere use of Danzig, who wanted to truly incorporate Danzig into its territory, while the predominantly German city wanted to maintain the status quo.

When the Nazi Party came to power in Germany, the party was active in recruiting at Danzig. By 1933, 38 percent of the members of the Danzig parliament were members of the Nazi Party, and a sizable percentage of the population expressed a desire to become part of Germany, with some even proudly wearing swastikas on their arms.

Unlike the annexation of Austria and Melland, Germany had a different attitude towards Danzig.

During the annexation of Czechoslovakia, Hitler was ready to use force, but a diplomatic victory avoided military action, and its Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop even called the Czechoslovak crisis a defeat because he could not provide the German military with the opportunity to start a war.

Hitler intended to use Danzig as a catalyst for provoking war with Poland, and he made several demands, through diplomats, that would aggravate relations with Poland, including allowing Danzig to enter the German sphere of influence, the construction of a German highway through the "Polish Corridor," the German railways, and Poland's participation in the Anti-Comintern Pact.

Hitler knew that he would have to constantly make demands slightly higher than Poland's tolerance, but reasonable enough to extend the negotiation period so that he could keep the issue open as Germany prepared for war.

As a result, the fiercely contested and strategically important Danzig became the latest flashpoint of tensions in Europe.

Both the French Foreign Minister and the British Prime Minister warned Hitler that his actions would lead to another war, and hoped that he would respect the position established by the Treaty of Versailles for Danzig.

But Hitler didn't care, and his generals had assembled a force of tanks and mechanized units that could easily invade Danzig and the Polish territory known as the "Corridor" jutting into the Baltic Sea......

Just today, the League of Nations High Commissioner for the Danzig region told a Reuters reporter that there was no danger here at the moment, that the official watched as the German Nazis gradually took control of the city!
