As Zhang Chi thought... Huo Xianjie's most failure was that he did not take action first.

If the result of not taking the initiative first becomes stronger, a series of problems will be extended.

First of all, Huo Xianjie's actions on Rabaul would not be hidden from the Americans... There are many Americans on Rabaul, such as pilots, airport logistics personnel, military consultants and staff of the New Seventh Army, as well as personnel in special positions such as mechanical repairs, doctors, nurses, etc., and even many American instructors within the Sixth Army.

What made Huo Xianjie very embarrassed was that these Americans were definitely not afraid to touch them.

Just kidding, this is the territory of Americans. Although most of the island of Rabaul are Chinese and Chinese soldiers, the equipment and supplies of Chinese troops are American. No one dares to oppose Americans. Even Principal Jiang himself is afraid that he will not dare to touch Americans.

So, the Sixth Army's actions on the island were soon uploaded by American instructors one by one, and then it reached Halsey's ears.

"What happened?" Halsey called Colonel Wilson at Rabaul Airport.

"General!" Wilson replied: "I am not very clear about the specific situation. It is very likely that there was a problem within the Chinese team. I saw that they arrested their own people!"

"Military?" Halsey asked.

"This..." Wilson replied: "I asked their commanders, and they said it was some soldiers who violated the discipline, which was not a big deal, but things didn't seem to be that simple!"

"Of course it's not that simple!" Halsey said.

He sensitively felt that this might be related to Zhang Chi, because Zhang Chi had just flew to Rabaul not long ago.

After thinking about it, Halsey said, "I don't care about other people. I need to find Colonel Zhang Chi. I want to talk to him!"

"Yes, General!"

Wilson originally thought this was a very simple thing. The name Zhang Chi can be said to be known to everyone on the Pacific battlefield. Moreover, people as important as Zhang Chi must not have any problems. It is not too easy to find him.

So Wilson called the New Seventh Army headquarters with one call... But what puzzled Wilson was that the person who answered the phone was no longer the translator he was familiar with.

"Where is your commander?" Wilson asked.

"Sir!" the translator replied: "He has been promoted to deputy commander of the 21st Army!"

"Oh!" Wilson felt that this was normal. The New Seventh Army performed quite well. The commander should have been promoted long ago.

"This is the situation!" Wilson said: "General Halsey needs to talk to Colonel Zhang Chi, please come to my command center immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

After the translator put down the phone and translated Wilson's words to Huo Xianjie, Huo Xianjie was stunned... He knew early in the morning that Zhang Chi had a good relationship with the United States, especially with General Halsey.

People in the United States can’t afford to offend them, let alone the other party is still a general!!!

The translator looked at Huo Xianjie's expression and asked: "Commander, how do you answer?"

"Hold it!" Huo Xianjie said: "Just say... Zhang Chi was promoted to the Army General Staff and was busy handling internal affairs!"

"yes!"

But Huo Xianjie knew that Americans were not that easy to fool, so he hurriedly made a series of arrangements to delay time.

As Huo Xianjie expected, as soon as he heard the excuse of "Zhang Chi is busy dealing with military affairs", Halsey turned cold and cursed: "Go to the military affairs! There is a whole combat plan here that needs him to formulate and improve, and also handle military affairs..."

Then Halsey ordered Wilson: "Col. No matter what method or means you use, I order you to do everything possible to ensure Zhang Chi's safety and bring him to your command center. Do you understand?"

"Yes, General!" Wilson realized that the problem was not simple, and he was almost cheated.

"What the hell?" Wilson was a little confused: "Will they deal with Zhang Chi? It's incredible!"

As an American, he took it for granted that he would have made such great contributions on the battlefield and that he should be protected and respected by the country. What reasons does the Chinese troops have to be detrimental to Zhang Chi?

So, Wilson always thought there was any misunderstanding in this.

But he still followed Halsey's order and personally led a team of airport guards to the military headquarters in jeeps and cars.

As a result, Wilson encountered a soft nail. The new commander of the New Seventh Army was received by Li Jiexun. Li Jiexun explained to Wilson through an interpreter... These were just normal transfers of the newly formed 21st Army. As for where Zhang Chi was, he was not very clear. Perhaps he was going out to find a base.

Wilson wanted to find a familiar official to ask, but found that the entire military headquarters had changed into strangers, and wanted to go out and ask those soldiers... It was very depressed that those soldiers were difficult to communicate. The soldiers did not understand English and needed to translate, so they could not imagine what they could ask.

Then Wilson asked the headquarters for the address, and the answer was... the headquarters is being formed and the address is not determined!

Wilson returned to the airport command in depressedly and told Halsey all this.

Halsey was so angry that he threw the microphone on the spot. After thinking about it, he said to himself: "It seems that they will not understand if they don't give these Chinese people some good looks!"

As he said that, he immediately issued a series of orders.

When Huo Xianjie saw that the Americans had gone back without anything, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief... Huo Xianjie didn't have any other skills, but he was just playing past the ball and playing Tai Chi.

But Huo Xianjie also knew that dragging on like this was not a solution after all, and one day it would be revealed. It was a pity that Zhang Chi and Wang Ninghang did not surrender... Huo Xianjie originally thought that as long as they were holding their heads, there was nothing that could not be done. After all, life was important in everything? What's more, what made Zhang and Wang surrender was just to give up their military power.

However, there are such stupid people in this world that I don’t know what to do next. (What Huo Xianjie doesn’t know is that this is actually Zhang Chi’s cleverness. If we follow the path Huo Xianjie imagines, Zhang Chi and Wang Mazi will obviously not have any good endings, and if we don’t follow the ordinary path, Huo Xianjie will panic.)

So, what should I do now?

Huo Xianjie thought of two choices: first, to wait for further instructions from Principal Jiang. Second, to further coerce and induce him, and even torture him, he would force Zhang and Wang to surrender!

At this moment, the staff officer ran over in a panic and reported: "Commander, it's not good! The Americans... no, it should be the US ship that surrounded Rabaul!"

"What?" Huo Xianjie was shocked.

As he was talking, a group of hundreds of fighter jets whizzed past Huo Xianjie's head.
