Age of Conquest Reborn

This banquet is a stage for Americans, British, and Australians. Of course, it also gives the Chinese an opportunity to attend. The special envoy of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China and the personal representative of Chiang Kai-shek, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in China and Southeast Asia Theater,

Yang Yongtai, Secretary-General of the Military Commission, also naturally received an invitation. (Please use the pinyin domain name of this site to visit us. Lingdian Reading)

Yang Yongtai arrived in Manila at noon on September 14th. It would be a lie to say that Yang Yongtai was not worried along the way. Looking at the flight route, they were all within the control area of ​​the Japanese. His special plane

, plus the six escorting fighter jets, it was probably just a plate of snacks for the Japanese, not even a big meal.

Therefore, after getting on the special plane and taking off from Chongqing, Yang Yongtai secretly prayed that as long as he could reach Manila smoothly and return to Chongqing safely, he would definitely prepare a generous gift of three animals and burn incense at the Leshan Giant Buddha to fulfill his vows. It might be his

The prayer moved the Buddha to bless him safely. Along the way, he didn't even see the shadow of Japanese fighter jets. When the special plane touched the hard runway of Manila Airport and trembled slightly, Yang Yongtai couldn't believe it was true.

After getting off the plane and checking into the hotel arranged by the Americans, the first thing Yang Yongtai did was to visit Tang Qiuli, who had arrived in Manila a day earlier. This etiquette and process made Yang Yongtai, who was well versed in human relations and a veteran of the ups and downs of officialdom,

He would never fail, and he understood better that he was just a foil. MacArthur put on such a big scene for Tang Qiuli, or to be precise, for the soldiers in Tang Qiuli's hands.

On the way to visit Tang Qiuli, Yang Yongtai set a tone for himself. On the surface, everything was just following Tang Qiuli's lead, but secretly, he used some tricks. To reach some kind of secret agreement with the Americans, it must be based on the actual situation.

That's settled, Yang Yongtai knew that it would be unwise to openly discredit Tang Qiuli, the deputy head of state of the Republic of China, on the occasion of such an international meeting.

It also allowed those Western powers to see the disharmony among the top leaders of the Republic of China government. This was not good for either Chairman Chiang Kai-shek or Tang Qiuli. The shame was lost abroad, but this did not hinder Yang Yongtai.

, secretly for the National Government. To put it bluntly, it was for Chairman Chiang Kai-shek to gain benefits outside of the meeting.

Before arriving at the hotel where Tang Qiuli was staying, Yang Yongtai heard about the incident that happened yesterday, which shocked the whole of Manila. Yang Yongtai shook his head secretly and couldn't help but smacked his tongue, "This young and energetic Vice Chairman is so tough.

After the riot in Manila, he forced MacArthur to kill more than 30 of his soldiers. There is nothing to say. This man is tough enough, but not sophisticated enough. What good does it do to offend the Americans?

?”

However, Yang Yongtai couldn't figure it out. Based on his understanding of Tang Qiuli, he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake. When dealing with this young man, a cunning and cunning person like Yang Yongtai had to be cautious and deal with Tang Qiuli carefully.

What Qiu Li performed in Manila should be something that only a hot-blooded young man should do, but Tang Qiuli shouldn't? It was precisely because he couldn't figure it out that Yang Yongtai became even more wary of Tang Qiuli.

The visit was a courtesy. Yang Yongtai followed the etiquette of subordinates and was very polite. Tang Qiuli did not say anything about what he did in Manila last night. Yang Yongtai did not mention a word, pretending not to know, and was very polite.

After saying this, Yang Yongtai hurriedly said goodbye, "Vice Chairman, I won't disturb your rest because of my humble position. I'll say goodbye!"

Tang Qiuli stood up to see them off and said with a smile: "Secretary-General Yang is really in a hurry. Since General MacArthur's dinner will be held in a few hours, why not Secretary-General Yang stay here and have a cup of tea?"

Haocha, let’s discuss the relevant countermeasures at the meeting. Then, let’s go together and join in. Wouldn’t it be convenient if we just take the bus? It also saves the secretary-general from the fatigue of traveling. I wonder what Secretary-General Yang’s wishes are?”

Yang Yongtai was stunned for a moment and explained with a smile on his face, "I will bear in mind the kindness of the Vice Chairman and his humble position. However, the delegation has just arrived and there are still many things to deal with. Yongtai is also troubled by everything, so he can only let down the Vice Chairman."

That's very kind of me!" After saying that, he bowed briefly and hurried away.

Tang Qiuli smiled and saw that the mountain tiger next to him was confused. He couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Xiao Qiu, why did you invite this guy to go with you? I saw him with a strange look on his face, and he looked like an old fox, and I felt uncomfortable. Besides,

, they are not from the same group at all.”

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "Huzi, this Yang Yongtai is not simple. He came to visit me firstly as a necessary courtesy and to show an attitude. On the surface, he will not play against us. As for

Behind the scenes, with Americans and British

I don’t know what the Chinese are up to. Not going to the cocktail party with us is to express an attitude to MacArthur. He and we are from different walks of life. We are very different from each other. He neither offends us nor the Americans. Yang Yongtai is smart.

ah!"

Shan Hu muttered, "Your brains have too many twists and turns. Are you tired?" Tang Qiuli smiled helplessly. If necessary, he would not use his brains or resort to tricks like this. Think about himself

They all feel exhausted and have no choice. The people they deal with are all this type of people. If you don’t show your fangs, will they think you are a sheep?

Turning around and shouting towards the house: "Xiaoxue, are you ready?" Mei Xue opened the bedroom door and said angrily: "What are you shouting for? You asked me to dress up, why did I get so much trouble?"

The two grown men were stunned when they saw Mei Xue coming out.

To be honest, Mei Xue did not dress up deliberately, and she was not flashy. She wore a lotus-colored cheongsam, which made her slender and slim body appear exquisitely convex and concave, and her smooth and white face looked slightly...

Shi Fendai, with long black hair, tied into a bun in a Chinese classical style, without any decorations on her body, just so fresh and elegant, standing in front of Tang Qiuli and Shan Hu.

Shanhu pulled Tang Qiuli's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoqiu, this is the dress you bought for Mei Xue. It's so beautiful!" Tang Qiuli turned his head and bit his ear with Shanhu, "Well, Huzi

, Do you like it? Buy one for Ouyang Lan and take it back with you?" This was originally a joke, but Shan Hu actually nodded fiercely, "Well, let Mei Xue help me choose, they have similar figures!

"

When Mei Xue saw the two grown men chattering, she glanced at her from time to time, stamped her feet, and shouted with a blushing face: "What are you whispering about?" Tang Qiuli said quickly, "Shan Hu and I are talking.

, so beautiful, this is my wife Tang Qiuli, Shan Hu also said that he would buy one for Ouyang Lan!"

Mei Xue glared at Tang Qiuli happily. She could make her husband praise her. The wife was unhappy and said: "By the time you two careless men think about this, it will be too late. Not only will I give it to Sister Ouyang

I bought one, and also bought another for my sister, and put them all in my suitcase!”

The streets of Manila are already brightly lit, neon lights are flashing, and there is still a bustling flow of people, but the drunken American soldiers who are running rampant are missing. At the entrance of the heavily guarded Manila Hotel, the guests who come to attend the cocktail party first hand over their invitations.

Then, he took out the special pass issued by the US military headquarters and walked into the hotel lobby amidst the salute of the US military police.

Three very ordinary cars were parked in front of the hotel. Although they were checked by several sentries, the American military police at the door still performed their duties meticulously. What could be seen were several young and tough Chinese people, surrounded by

A man and a woman came over, and the U.S. military police officer in charge of checking the documents couldn't help but frown.

A group of Chinese people came in just now, and their attitude was much more courteous. Unlike these Chinese people, who walked as if no one else was around. They didn't know that this was American territory, and it was not the Chinese's turn to be arrogant.

The young gendarme was about to stop and was ready to cause some trouble for them, even if they were invited guests. He had to make these Chinese people understand who was the owner of this land.

!

Just as he was about to take a step, someone grabbed him by the back collar of his military uniform, causing him to fall backwards. The military policeman looked back angrily, and saw that it was their platoon leader, a second lieutenant of the US military police, who just asked a simple question, and

, his attitude was very respectful, he took one look at the ID, then let him go with great enthusiasm, and gave a polite military salute.

The second lieutenant turned back, looked at the military policeman fiercely, and lowered his voice and said: "You are looking for death! This is that Tang Qiuli." The US military policeman suddenly felt that cold sweat broke out on his body, "My God, it turns out to be that god of plague, talk about it."

laugh

In a short period of time, more than thirty brothers lost their lives. I went to trouble him because I thought my life was too long. Also, in Manila, who else could be such a arrogant Chinese person except him?" He was very grateful.

He glanced at the platoon leader.

The lobby of the hotel is magnificently decorated, with a long table filled with various wines, fruits and cold cuts. This is a typical Western-style cocktail party. Guests are free to take food at will and get to know each other.

MacArthur, Alexander and Australian Army Chief of Staff Brooks were together, talking in a low voice.

As soon as Shan Hu took a look, he saw the long table. His face immediately started to twitch, and the acid water in his stomach couldn't help but overflow. He cursed in his heart: "Damn, the Americans are making these pig and dog food again."

, I’m going to have to find something else to fill my belly when I go back.” For Shan Hu, attending such a cocktail party is simply a living hell.

"General Tang Qiuli, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Democratic People's Liberation Army, Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Theater, Commander of the North China Army Division, and Second-level General of the Army, is here!" the emcee sang loudly, not to mention that this foreign emcee was very interested in China.

His etiquette is quite simple, his shouting is clear and crisp, and he has all kinds of titles.

The lively scene became deserted at that time. When the real owner arrived, everyone's eyes were turned to the door, wanting to catch a glimpse of this man who had stirred up a storm just after arriving in Manila.

Digression: It is already the end of September, but the Eastern Mongolia region suddenly ushered in a heavy rain. Howling winds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rains were comparable to those in midsummer. As a result, the cup was broken, the power was out, and the Internet was disconnected.

Now, Xiaojin is holding on to a little candlelight and waiting until

It was past one o'clock in the morning, and the power supply was still not restored, so I had to cover my head and fall asleep. Fortunately, at about two o'clock this afternoon, everything was restored. I quickly coded. I'm really sorry for delaying all the book friends! (To be continued.)
