Jiang Huangyong handed the telegram to Pan Meiren, walked in quietly, saluted everyone and said hello, then picked up a steamed bun unceremoniously, took a bite and said: "Commander-in-Chief, Boss Guo has caused trouble for you.
. fly"
"What's going on?" Ji Xing asked.
Regarding Ji Xing, Jiang Huangyong was still a little scared. He quickly took the steamed bun away from his mouth and replied seriously: "The telegram said that we had fallen out with the Americans. Boss Guo seemed very angry, but the specific situation was not written on it. But.
The last part is very thoughtful and I think it’s good.”
Pan Meiren had already handed the telegram to Ouyang Yun. Ouyang Yun picked it up and looked at it carefully, then handed it to Li Tieshu on his left, glanced at everyone and said: "Lao Guo is a master who can't have any sand in his eyes. I'm sure that once
The Americans must have bossed him around, otherwise he wouldn't have been so excited. Let's just pretend we don't know about this and wait and see how the Americans react."
Li Tieshu read it and handed it to others. Ji Xing was the last one to read it and handed it back to Jiang Huangyong, saying: "Send me a call back to confirm the specific situation. After all, the Philippines is the territory of the Americans. If the fight is really too tense, I will be passive."
It must be us."
Jiang Huangyong accepted the order and left. Li Tieshu said: "Is it still because of the issue of command authority? Isn't this clearly written in the agreement? Didn't the US government make it clear to MacArthur?"
"It's possible!" Ouyang Yun muttered. Then he asked Pan Meiren to lock the door and said, "Let's continue with the meeting. Let's resolve our own major issues first. There's no rush for the Philippines."
The meeting lasted for another two hours and did not end until half past twelve in the night. After Ouyang Yun announced that the meeting was adjourned, Pan Meiren quickly opened the doors and windows to let the smoke inside escape. As soon as she opened the door, Jiang Huangyong rushed in
Coming in, he rubbed his red eyes, handed the two telegrams to Ouyang Yun at the same time, and said: "One is a reply from Boss Guo, and the other is from Washington. Sir, please read Boss Guo's message first.
.”
Ji Xing and others originally wanted to leave, but because of this situation, they all stayed.
As usual, Ouyang Yun read it first and then handed it to others. Later he said: "Lao Guo's handling was correct. Regardless of whether MacArthur did it intentionally or unintentionally, the behavior of concealing information was too bad and too dangerous. The Yankees are
It’s obvious that they don’t regard us as allies. If that’s the case, why should we be polite to them?”
Li Tieshu happened to see the description in the telegram about the robbery of grain by the 17th Army Division. He raised his head and smiled and said to Stern: "Old Si, Valef is so ruthless. Three hundred tons of grain. My God, I really want to know about them."
How to move away!”
Stern laughed when he heard this and said: "Waleff had a nickname when he was in Germany: 'Money Man'. This is indeed his style."
Ouyang Yun smiled: "Money addict? That's just right."
"When fighting in a foreign country, logistical supplies are the biggest problem. I thought Waleffe did a great job! MacArthur must have thought that he could use this to defeat Commander Guo and force them to submit," Tielin said
Fei said.
"Is this the reason why Washington called?" Li Tieshu went to Jixing's side to read the telegram from Washington.
Ouyang Yun: "Lin Fei said a lot. MacArthur must have had this idea, so he assumed a superior attitude. It's a pity that the devil actually gave up landing from Zamboanga and turned to Xi.
Arden and Labazon - Xiao Jiang, please send a message to Commander Guo who is the commander of the Japanese army, and at the same time send the new sequence and personnel list - the Japanese army is quite experienced in this!"
"Yes, I'll go right away," Jiang Huangyong responded and left.
"The Americans hope that we will consider the overall situation and allow the Second Expeditionary Force to accept the command of the US military headquarters in the Philippines. I think that based on what Commander Guo reported, we absolutely cannot do this, otherwise, we may be betrayed by the Americans.
I don’t even know,” Ji Xing said.
Ouyang Yun muttered: "After the U.S. Pacific Fleet was annihilated by the Japanese combined fleet, in a short period of time, at least in the North Pacific and Southeast Asia, the Americans had no ability to challenge Japan. As you can see, there were almost twelve people at the beginning of the fight.
Hours later, the Americans can't even figure out who the Japanese commander is. Is there any hope of winning this battle? The battle in the Philippines will definitely end with the defeat of the US military. If the Japanese army gains a foothold in the Philippines, then
We can use it as a springboard to threaten Taiwan and the coasts of Fujian, Guangdong and Qiong with our huge fleet. Our Pacific Fleet is still too immature and not capable of challenging the Japanese Combined Fleet. So, help the Americans delay the Japanese occupation of the Philippines as much as possible
Time seems to be very necessary - well, on the big picture we can listen to the Americans, but we must not give up the frontline command."
Li Tieshu suddenly said "Hey" and said: "Interesting, the little devils attacked the Philippines under the banner of 'liberating the Philippines and expelling the American colonialists'. These gangsters are really shameless!"
Regarding this matter, Guo Kui actually just mentioned it in passing. Ji Xing continued: "The little devil is going to attack the National Independence Army again, right? Huh?" As he spoke, an idea flashed in his mind, he looked up at Ouyang Yun and said: "
Commander-in-chief, I have a good idea, why don’t we set up a ‘National Independence Liberation Army’ like we did in the French Indochina Federation?”
Ouyang Yun listened thoughtfully and said: "But the Philippines is no better than the French Indochina Federation. The French are weaker and have demands on us, so they can only swallow their anger even if we are on top of them. Americans are different.
If we really do this, I'm afraid it will arouse their suspicion."
"Can't we just pay attention to the methods?" Stern said suddenly.
Ouyang Yun glanced at him and asked, "Old Si, do you have any good ideas?"
Stern took a deep breath and said: "This is what I think. If we can separate the territory from the US military, then we can naturally propose jurisdiction over the local garrison. In that case, we can develop local resistance forces.
——”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Tieshu's heavy slap on the shoulder. Li Tieshu said excitedly: "Oh! Sir, I really can't tell that you are an expert in conspiracy!"
Stern blushed and said, "This is just an immature idea of mine!"
Ji Xing: "I think Lao Si's idea is quite good, Commander-in-Chief, let's do it like this!"
Ouyang Yun thought for a while and said: "There are a lot of local Chinese in the Philippines, which will be a great help to Lao Guo and the others in implementing this plan. That's it. Meiren, please go to the telecommunications room and ask Jiang Huangyong to help you immediately."
Lao Guo generates electricity, please keep it confidential."
Pan Meiren: "What about Washington?"
"Take it easy first. If we don't push the Americans into a hurry, they may not agree to our request!"
