Take Taobao to fight against Japan

As long as this fire is burned even more vigorously, the ethnic conflict between the Chinese army and the indigenous people of Burma can be intensified, so that the Great Japanese Empire can reap the benefits of the fisherman. "

The corner of Iida Shojiro's mouth curled up and said: "This shows that the propaganda work and instigation work done by the special high school before are very effective, and it also shows the brutality and greed of the British.

Now that the Chinese government and the British Empire have formed a military alliance, the ethnic hatred of the Burmese natives will naturally be transferred to the Chinese expeditionary force.

And the ethnic conflict is still a deep-seated contradiction that cannot be reconciled. No matter how well Yang Fan speaks and does it beautifully, he will not be able to subdue the 1600 million Burmese aborigines in a short period of time. "

Haruki Isayama smiled and said, "That's right, after the imperial army walked out of the Thai-Myanmar border, not only did they not encounter attacks from the Burmese natives along the way, but they were greeted along the way.

A large number of Burmese natives sent food and drink, saying that they were grateful to the Imperial Japanese Army for rescuing them from the enslavement of the British.

There are even a large number of indigenous militiamen who volunteered to join the imperial army and follow the imperial army to fight against the British and Chinese armies.It's just that the equipment of these militias is too poor, and the quality of the soldiers varies, which is really embarrassing to use. "

"What does it matter? The important thing is not how useful they can be on the battlefield, but the meaning and potential energy they represent. A single spark can start a prairie fire!"

Iida Shojiro snorted softly, and then said to Hanaya Taro and Isayama Haruki: "Hanagu-san, continue to expand propaganda and instigate rebellion, we need to incite more ethnic conflicts, and let more Burmese aboriginals stand on our side .

Isayama-kun, find a few more imperial officers to serve as military advisors to the Burmese militia, arm these militia as soon as possible, and let them form combat effectiveness as much as possible!

Even if it can't play the role of a sharp knife, it can at least serve as cannon fodder, so that the imperial warriors will shed less blood! "

"Hay!"

Isayama Haruki and Hanaya Taro nodded with a smile. It would be wonderful if they could really provoke a large-scale conflict between the Burmese natives and the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Yangon Myanmar Theater Command.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Yang Fan welcomed a special guest, Colonel Chennault of the American Airlines Volunteer Team.

Beginning in 1939, Japan carried out continuous and frenzied bombing of Chongqing, Chengdu and other places in the rear of China.

The Huaxia Air Force was unable to resist the Japanese aviation attack, and the Huaxia War of Resistance reached the most difficult period.

In October 1940, Generalissimo Jiang urgently summoned Chennault, an advisor to the Huaxia Aviation Committee in Kunming, hoping that the United States could assist China, strengthen the U.S. Air Force stationed in China, and form the maximum strength of the front-line air force in the Huaxia theater.

After several twists and turns, US President Roosevelt approved the use of aircraft and personnel to aid China, and ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of the Navy, and the Ministry of the Army to hold a joint meeting, and decided to sell the 100 P40 fighter jets that were originally planned to be delivered to the United Kingdom and had not yet departed to China.

Immediately afterwards, US President Roosevelt issued an order that was not announced to the public, allowing reserve aviation officers and soldiers of the army and navy to join the Chinese Volunteer Air Force and participate in the Chinese Anti-Japanese War as a civilian.

In October and December 1940, more than 10 U.S. reserve aviation officers came to China in two batches. The U.S. Volunteer Air Force was established seven months earlier than in another time and space, and Colonel Chennault was the commander of the brigade.

And just yesterday, President Roosevelt once again made an extraordinary promotion, transforming the American Air Volunteer Corps into the US Air Force Task Force in China, and Chennault served as the brigadier general commander.

At present, the US Air Force Task Force in China is divided into three squadrons: Adam and Eve, Panda and Hell's Angels, and will soon enter Myanmar to assist in air defense.

In 1934, Chennault participated in the joint land-air exercise and was removed from the officer roster due to a conflict with Kilburn, the chief of staff of the Ministry of War, due to tactical issues, which led to his retirement with the rank of lieutenant in April 1937.

And now, in just a few months, Comrade Chennault has passed through the three ranks of major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel, and was promoted to brigadier general.

Although brigadier general is the lowest rank title among general officers, he still belongs to general rank officers anyway.

Therefore, Lao Chen is proud of his horseshoe and walks with the wind. He flew to Yangon, Myanmar in a hurry after receiving his new appointment!

As soon as he saw Yang Fan, Chennault couldn't help stretching out his friendly and wealthy hands with joy on his face, and after shaking Yang Fan tightly, he said: "General Yang, I am very glad to be able to fight side by side with you.

The U.S. Air Force Task Force in China has applied to enter Myanmar to fight, and please arrange the garrison camp for the task force as soon as possible! "

Chapter 814

"General Chennault, it's great to meet you! Don't worry, please sit down and talk slowly!"

Yang Fan was full of smiles, extended his hands enthusiastically to shake hands with Chennault, and then waved his hands: "General Chennault, do you want coffee or tea?"

Chennault nodded politely and said with a smile: "As long as there is Huaxia green tea, I have already adapted to and like Huaxia's tea culture very much."

"Ok!"

Yang Fan immediately rang the beeper on the desk, and shouted to the beautiful secretary Zhao Jingqing: "Xiao Zhao, make two cups of premium West Lake Longjing immediately and send them to the office!"

"Boom boom boom! The tea is ready!"

After a while, Zhao Jingqing knocked on the office door and walked in, holding a mahogany tray in her hand.

"Ok!"

Then according to Yang Fan's instructions, Zhao Jingqing put the brewed green tea on the tea tables in front of Yang Fan and Chennault respectively.

I saw the tea leaves in the crystal clear glass tumbling up and down, and her body was constantly expanding, like a graceful girl dancing, her posture looked extremely attractive.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of refreshing tea fragrance came to the nostrils. Just by smelling this smell, one can feel that this cup of super Longjing is very extraordinary.

The special-grade Longjing tea leaves produced by the system are brewed with the space spring water rich in aura. Naturally, the color, aroma, shape and taste are complete, and it looks good, smells good and tastes good!

"Wow, this is the premium West Lake Longjing tea? It's the first time I've seen such a nice-smelling tea!"

Chennault has seen the big world, and he is definitely superior to ordinary people in terms of food and drink, but he still can't help but twitch his index finger when facing the small cup of green tea in front of him.

"General Chennault, please use it slowly! If there is any need for the chief officer, please do not hesitate to order!"

Gently put the teacup away, spoke fluent English, Zhao Jingqing then nodded at Yang Fan, and then exited the office gracefully.

Zhao Jingqing is 22 years old. She looks sweet and has a wealthy family. She used to work in the British colonial government. She is one of the few women in politics among the Chinese in Myanmar. She belongs to the contemporary Bai Fumei!

But the reason why Zhao Jingqing became Yang Fan's administrative secretary was definitely not just because of her pretty face and proud figure, nor was it because someone Yang had any special ideas.

It was because He Zhenshu had a good impression of Zhao Jingqing and knew that Yang Fan needed to find a secretary who was familiar with Burmese affairs, so he strongly recommended her.

After meeting Zhao Jingqing herself, Yang Fan also felt that she was just a rare talent with both talent and appearance, so he thought about training her to be a strong woman in Myanmar's political circle.

"General Chennault, please wait a moment, I'm going to get something!"

After Zhao Jingqing walked out of the office, Yang Fan stood up and walked to the desk, and took out a wooden box from the drawer.

After walking to the tea table and sitting down, under Chennault's curious eyes, Yang Fan opened the wooden box and said with a smile, "General Chennault, do you want to try one?"

Taking a closer look, Chennault couldn't help but brighten his eyes and said, "I! Is this a Cuban handmade cigar from Montecristo?

General Yang, you still have such good things, these cigars are not cheap!At present, the price in the United States is at least 20 US dollars a piece. Such a full box is worth 600 US dollars, right?And often money can't buy it! "

Cuban cigars are pure natural tobacco products rolled from raw tobacco leaves that have been air-dried, fermented, and aged.

Experts who understand cigars all over the world agree that only the fertile red soil in Cuba can breed the best tobacco in the world.

And the handmade cigars from Cuba are the best cigars in the world. The ultimate flavor of Cuban cigars is produced by special techniques and is very popular in the world.

Montecristo is the most popular Cuban cigar, accounting for about half of Cuba's annual exports, and it bears a simple brown and white label.

Introduced to the world in 1935, the brand has delighted cigar aficionados with its distinctive taste, and has been praised for its consistent high quality and unique blend.

The manufacture of cigars is very particular. From planting to maturity, tobacco farmers look after each leaf 150 times on average.It takes 5-6 years from planting to finished product, and it needs to be harvested, fermented, and aged for about 1 year before being manufactured.

These time-consuming and labor-intensive high costs naturally lead to low output and extremely expensive prices, especially handmade Cuban cigars of high-quality brands!

"Come on, let's talk about it first!"

Seeing Chennault's inexplicable surprise, Yang Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows triumphantly. In today's world, no one dares to say who is the most wealthy if Yang claims to be the second.

"My dear, the taste of Montecristo is so wonderful!"

After lighting the cigar, Chennault took a few puffs happily, then closed his eyes slightly, showing a look of great enjoyment, like a high-energy addict.

"Well, it's really worth the money!"

At this time, Yang Fan also sucked it up, and then showed an expression of great enjoyment.

"Haha, I didn't expect General Yang to be a fellow!"

Looking at Yang Fan's sophisticated techniques, Chennault felt a sudden strong sense of intimacy, and the distance between Yang Fan and Yang Fan became within one meter.

"It's really a coincidence, I didn't expect that we can have such a common hobby!"

Yang Fan doesn't have a hobby of smoking cigars, it's entirely for the sake of getting closer, so he occasionally smokes and drinks with people to forcefully share a common hobby.

After chatting for a long time, Yang Fan said in a very serious voice:

"General Chennault, first of all I would like to say thank you and all members of the American Air Force Volunteer Team for coming to China during our most difficult time in China, and for making an indelible historic contribution to China's war of resistance!

The Chinese people will always remember your name and kindness, and will never forget it from generation to generation! "

When Yang Fan said these words, he was really not trying to flatter him, but respect and gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

In another time and space, the Sino-American mixed flight wing formed by Chennault once fought in various places in China, India and Burma, and became the main force of the Chinese Air Force in the later period of the Anti-Japanese War.

As of the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the flying wing had shot down 2600 Japanese enemy planes, sunk or severely damaged as many as 223 million tons of Japanese merchant ships, and 44 Japanese warships were also sunk because of them.

In addition, according to statistics, as many as 66700 Japanese officers were killed.It can be said to save the people of China from the fire and water.

What is even more commendable is that at the beginning, the team led by Chennault was only a Chinese volunteer air force. Because the isolationism prevailed in the US government and they did not want to offend the Japanese, they could only participate in the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japan as private volunteers.

Moreover, Chennault also personally piloted fighter jets to fight against the Japanese army. Because there are no detailed records about the combat records at that time, we only know from his letters to his ex-wife that he shot down 41 Japanese planes by himself.

Chapter 815 I will be my own person from now on

"no no!"

It's just that Chennault is still far from reaching that height, so he was very moved by Yang Fan's high evaluation for a while, so he waved his hands modestly and said:

"I just did my best for world peace and human justice, and I really can't afford to be praised by General Yang."

Yang Fan is now a legitimate Chinese second-level general, while Chennault is just a brigadier general. Although they are two different countries with different military ranks, the difference in military rank still makes Chennault feel respectful!

Especially before coming to Yang Fan, Chennault went to Stilwell first, because he subconsciously believed that Stilwell was the commander-in-chief of the Burmese theater, so he naturally had to go to him to discuss related matters.

But after some understanding, Chennault discovered to his surprise that the actual controller of Myanmar turned out to be Yang Fan.

At the same time, Chennault also learned a lot about Yang Fan's amazing achievements and miraculous deeds from Stilwell. As a result, Chennault was full of affection and respect for Yang Fan!

"General Chennault, you don't have to be too humble, you are fully worthy of it!"

Yang Fan smiled and didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and then said: "Currently, the focus of the Japanese invaders' attack has shifted to Burma, which will soon become the core area of ​​the Asian battlefield.

If you want to keep Myanmar and storefront roads, the importance of air supremacy is naturally the top priority. General Chennault, your Sino-US mixed flight team went to Myanmar, which undoubtedly solved the urgent need! "

Chennault said modestly again: "General Yang, I really appreciate the award! I heard that your Chinese Huben Army's air force has severely damaged the Japanese Air Force many times, so that the powerful and arrogant Japanese Air Force dare not violate the airspace of the Shandong Peninsula at all?"

Yang Fan smiled lightly and said: "There is no way, who told us that we are in the hinterland of the Japanese war zone, it is a thorn in the devil's flesh, I can only do my best to strengthen the air force construction, so as not to be bombed every day!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Yang Fan said it lightly, as simple as drinking plain water, but Chennault really didn't know how to respond.

Because as a professional, he doesn't know how difficult it is to build the air force, and he can strengthen it if he wants to. Otherwise, the national government wouldn't be bombed by the devils, and he would regard himself as a retired officer as a savior?

What's more, the Shandong Peninsula under the jurisdiction of Yang Fan is still surrounded by devils, and it is possible to build an air force so powerful that even the Japanese Air Force can't do anything about it. How can this be deduced by common sense?

Ignoring the shadow area in Chennault's heart, Yang Fan rambled a few words on one channel and then got to the point:

"General Chennault, I am currently intensifying the renovation and expansion of Tonggu Airport, and the first phase of the project can be completed in half a month at most. By then, the Flying Tigers of the Tiger Army and your joint flight team will be able to join forces. Let's fight against the Japanese Air Force together!"

"That's really good!"

Chennault nodded happily, and then said sincerely:

"Just now, I heard from General Stilwell that the air force base that General Yang is building is extremely large in scale, with extremely advanced equipment and facilities, as well as amazing defense capabilities. I really want to have a sneak peek!

I also ask General Yang to fulfill it, it is really troublesome! "

"What's the trouble! The water temperature is just right now, let's go out for a walk after drinking tea!"

Yang Fan waved his hand, then raised his teacup to signal Chennault to finish his tea before leaving.

It can be consumed but not wasted. This is Yang's consistent principle!

"Okay! Ok!"

Chennault was also polite, and immediately picked up the glass teacup and drank it.

I don’t know if I don’t drink it, but I’m startled when I drink it. As soon as I drink this tea, Chennault feels it’s delicious, just like drinking fine nectar and jade dew. Every pore is moaning and singing!

"Wow, Commander Yang, where did you buy this tea? It's really delicious. It's the first time I've had such delicious tea!"

Gudong Gudong, after a few gulps, Chennault drank the over 500ml glass teacup upside down, and almost swallowed all the tea in it.

Yang Fan laughed and said: "This tea is not available outside, it is a special tea for internal use! In addition, it must be mixed with unique mineral water to brew this taste!

General Chennault, if you like it, I will send some to you when I am free! "

"Thank you so much then!"

Chennault really couldn't be more polite, the wonderful taste had completely conquered him, it would be a pity if he could only drink this once.

"Yes, and this one!"

After drinking the tea, Yang Fan covered the wooden cigar box on the table, stuffed it directly into Chennault's hand and said, "Since General Chennault likes it, please take it all, take it back and smoke slowly!"
