.Du Mansion, Wangshan, on the south bank of the Jialing River in Chongqing.

This spacious and comfortable luxury villa with a small racecourse and a large garden is just one of several mansions in the mountain city of Boss Du. It is also one of the four major banks in China. In order to respect Boss Du, who had to go north from Hong Kong to Chongqing after the outbreak of the Pacific War, he rushed to build it day and night.

It is said that those wealthy directors of the Bank of Communications were very concerned about this. Not only were the materials used in this house the best, but they also specially invited well-known domestic architectural designers to carefully design it. In terms of site selection, architectural shape, etc., they fully took care of Boss Du, who was suffering from severe asthma, and was afraid of heat and humidity. It can be said that every house is for one person. As for the Feng Shui masters in the mountain city, many of them were dragged around and slipped around.

.It should be said that the board of directors of the Bank of Communications has achieved remarkable results. Since the completion of this villa, Boss Du has lived here for ten months a year. Therefore, Wangshan, which was previously unknown, has become synonymous with the most powerful godfather in China in the minds of Chongqing people.

As soon as Cheng Jiaji escaped into the living room, Boss Du, who was waiting for him in the hall with confidence, joking, "Haoran, you're such a thing! You can play the opera! Interesting!" Boss Du said something, not entirely joking. If it weren't for the sake of the supreme authorities, Boss Du, who is the most valuable Peking Opera fan of this era, would have really wanted to find a few experts to make up a play to enjoy it today.

"Uncle, has this been spread all over?" There was a wife who was a disciple of someone else, so Cheng Jiaji had to use the honorific title of Shanghainese.

"That's it! The airtight wall in this world, let alone you make the noise so much. I guess you know everything you should know now." Boss Du said that it was the power people who were at the top of the bio-chain of the accompanying capital.

Cheng Jiaji's expression relaxed again after hearing this. Only the influence was gone. I think the second lady would always be more concerned!

Boss Du, who saw through Cheng Jiaji's thoughts, reminded seriously: "Haoran. You are lucky. Since she made her step down the stage two years ago, the second lady has been restrained. But don't underestimate this little aunt. The Nan Hot Spring and Dianchi Lake, will you forget so soon?"

What Mr. Du mentioned was the most violent and bloody two things that the second lady is well-known!

The so-called Dinan Hot Spring shooting occurred in the winter of 1930s. The reason was that the second lady, who was in her early twenties, was suspected to have a reporter secretly photographed her beautiful face. Originally, it was normal for public figures to be targeted by reporters, and at most it would only bring out the negatives and expose them. However, the lady's reaction was so unique. She pulled out the gun without saying a word and knocked down one person on the spot.

It was a coincidence. The other party was not a good person. He immediately took out his gun and fought back. At that moment, the two groups started a gunfight, alarmed the highest authorities in the bathing area in the South Hot Spring. He checked the incident after reading the novel website. Even the second lady who had always been unaware of what he had mistakenly admitted that with the outstanding wealth of the third prince of Yunnan, it was unlikely that he would secretly take a few photos of her to sell to the newspaper. But Liangzi, the two noble relatives' children, was formed.

The following spring, the two of them each had their own followers and ran into the sea of ​​flowers in the Dianchi Park in Kunming. This time, they didn't know which party fired the first shot. Anyway, this time the incident was worse than that of Nan Hot Spring. More than a dozen ordinary tourists who suffered a tragic disaster were killed or injured. Kunming newspapers called it the tragedy of the Sea of ​​Flowers.

Cheng Jiaji, who has liked to read some unofficial history and interesting stories since he was a child, is not familiar with these two shootings? Moreover, when he saw this story from the readers' digest, he also sighed to his friends that if public figures in the future could have such a strong sense of rights protection, those paparazzi who indirectly shot Diana to death would not dare to be so crazy no matter what they said!

But the old things that are not related to the matter are not the same as the cruel reality that you have to face. This is not the same thing! Cheng Jiaji was sweating on his face as he thought about it. No wonder, no matter who is lucky enough to have a second lady who has the right to take your freedom and life without restraint, you must not hurt her enemy, which is not much better than Cheng Jiaji.

"The adults of her family usually won't interfere in this kind of child affairs. If a single second lady lets her be furious, she will also drive a few people to pay for you, a dignified lieutenant general. You just need to bring a few more guards when entering and leaving, and be careful to pay attention." Boss Du, who saw that his advice had already played a role, comforted him in turn.

After a pause, Boss Du asked casually: "By the way, Haoran, what serious things do you have to do next!"

In theory, given that the overseas troops were highly confidential, Cheng Jiaji should find a reasonable excuse to circumvent it. But he dared not take it lightly for Boss Du, who had been talking about all the time, but in fact, there was no meaning in his words.

While taking the Yangli handed over by Boss Du, Cheng Jiaji took advantage of this loophole to weigh the pros and cons, and finally decided to tell the truth: "I want to take a few days off with my uncle, and wait for Scherwei to do so by the way.

As Cheng Jiaji expected, Mr. Du, who had been from the boss of Luojiawan, who had become increasingly close to Americans in recent years, nodded gently after receiving the news that Cheng Jiaji would lead his troops to overseas, and said without hesitation: "American goods, especially military daily necessities, should not be too popular in Chongqing recently!"

Cheng Jiaji has been so smart that the big shots have long been made into smart people in recent years. How could he not hear the words of this tycoon who is not afraid to do business except being a traitor. Boss Du, who is dominating the increasingly prosperous Chongqing black market, is interested in a large number of supplies such as chewing gum, Coca-Cola, camel cigarettes, US military boots, and military caps that the United States will provide to the Forty-Eighth Army. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Cheng Jiaji had always sold out eliminations when he reselled arms, how could Boss Du's appetite be so peaceful.

"If Uncle Wan is free, he can go to Yueyang again next month!" Cheng Jiaji responded secretly, which caused Boss Du to cheer: OK! This is good. I want Lao Wan to go and see it again in the south.

"Haoran! You have nothing to do these days, so why don't you go with me to my house in Shangqing Temple to have fun." After the serious matter was over, Boss Du, who was willing to show off his special relationship with Cheng Jiaji, was very willing to show off his special relationship with the heavy army. He sent an invitation with great enthusiasm.

It is known that Du Mansion in Shangqing Temple is a high-level club used by Boss Du to make friends and entertain nobles. Even the largest robber in Chongqing, the owner of Fan Yuan and the owner of Luojiawan, are both regular customers in Cheng Jiaji. They were afraid that they would be caught by the second lady who came to hear the news, so they did not agree immediately.

"Don't worry, everyone is pampering and holding a girl in the ground, so why don't you dare to come to our house to seek revenge?" Boss Du, who saw through Cheng Jiaji's thoughts, generously held it. In the next few days, Cheng Jiaji, who traveled between Wangshan and Shangqing Temple. Under the introduction of Boss Du and the eldest son, he met many military and political officials who had only seen in old yellow photos, famous young masters, Shuyuan and noble ladies, and social wise men.

In general, the powerful people are quite polite and friendly to Cheng Jiaji. What makes Cheng Jiaji a little ridiculous is that there are many young princes and grandsons who are usually above the top and have great energy. The reason why they are friendly to him, the nouveau riche, is that he has given the second lady a great embarrassment? It turns out that they are the people who make fish and accumulate wealth as their career. They are also being passed by the second lady who is stronger backing.

The deeper and more thorough the second lady's glorious history, the more Cheng Jiaji is sure to use this woman's vengeance and self-willed personality, and will definitely not give up halfway.

But beyond Cheng Jiaji's expectations, everything was still calm until Scherwei returned to Chongqing as promised, as if the scene on the trail in De'anli had never happened.

At 4:00 p.m. on December 13, Scherwei Mansion located in Liziba, suburb of Chongqing.

"General Cheng, you have received unfair treatment. I heard Lieutenant Colonel Chels say as soon as I got off the plane. I think your behavior is a counterattack against the terrible air in Chongqing, a powerful control of the rotten and dark rule of peanuts..." The consequence of Scherwei's righteous statement on the line was that Cheng Jiaji was scared to death. What a joke! You are the plenipotent agent of the interests of the United States in China. If you say you are out of the circle, the supreme authorities will do nothing to you, but don't implicate me, okay? It is important to know that this is Chongqing, not the construction site of the Yunnan-Burma Highway. Your every move here is under the close supervision of No. 19 Luojiawan.

Thinking this in my heart, Cheng Jiaji didn't dare to make it clear, because it would only stimulate Scherwei, who was impulsive and stubborn by nature, and sent him directly to question the supreme authorities. That matter would be a big deal, and in the end Cheng Jiaji himself would not be able to escape.

Cheng Jiaji knew that he must not be silent at this time: "General, I am very grateful for your personal care for me. But as a Chinese general and a Chinese, I still want to remind you to maintain the respect that an ally general should have for our heads and government."

If others say this, it will only make Scherway feel disgusted with that person. Fortunately, Scherway has a strong favor for Cheng Jiaji, a Chinese war hero who once made great efforts to save his life. However, it also makes him feel dissatisfied with China's current system for every extra day in China, and put the account on the boring little man in his mind: "General Cheng, don't be afraid. Our US government will not charge peanuts and his dictatorship for a long time in China. At the right time, we will do our best to help China refresh its politics.

The biting cold wind that came from Scherwei's words made Cheng Jiaji's mind shake, and his mind was even more imaginative: Although Scherwei is a person who speaks without restraint, how could such a big thing pop in his mouth be groundless? Could it be that Americans want to support Director Li of the Hanzhong Camp now!"

Cheng Jiaji's knowledge is still not broad enough. As for the candidates who replaced the supreme authorities, the most favored by Americans was not Director Li, who had been the emperor for a year in history, but was half of Cheng Jiaji's benefactor General Chen. Moreover, since the late period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the time span was more than twenty years. In the 1960s, the US government, which did not intend to promote Taiwan independence, was still investing in promoting and striving for General Chen to cooperate with them. In this long period of time, he was deeply grateful.

The Supreme Government trusted and relied on General Chen. Although he finally controlled himself, his heart was not swaying. Otherwise, there would not have happened on the eve of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, which led to a major rebellion case handled by military law for being accused of assassinating the Supreme Government. On the eve of his trip to Taiwan, the Supreme Government would not have to summon General Chen, who was in charge of Taiwan's military affairs, from thousands of miles away, to his side before he dared to do so.

"General Scherwei, I am hereby the order of our National Defense Committee to discuss with you the specific matters of our army sending troops overseas to cooperate with your country's army in combat. If you say these words that have nothing to do with the topic, then I will have to say goodbye." Unlike the official article just now, Cheng Jiaji was really angry this time. This is not how loyal he is to the supreme authorities. It is a very indignant attitude towards foreigners to interfere in China's internal affairs. No matter how high-sounding the interference is under, not every descendant of Yan and Huang with the minimum sense of national self-esteem can accept it happily. The great China should not be insulted!

"Okay! My friend. Then let's get back to the point!" Scherwei, who also realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, went with the flow and changed the topic.

"General Scherwei, I must first confirm something. Can your government agree to our newly proposed request that your military has no right to cooperate with your army to use the 48th Army of our country?" Cheng Jiaji asked solemnly.

"Yes!" Although three days ago, when Washington asked Scherway for advice about whether the 48th Army's group combat effectiveness could be allowed to participate in the war as a whole, Scherway, who had witnessed the bloody battle in the northwest suburbs of Mandalay, made a guarantee for the 48th Army based on the ethics and honesty that a professional soldier must possess. However, this does not mean that he has no objection to China's conditions. As we all know, the Chinese army that stands alone and the Chinese army that are assigned to the US combat forces are two completely different concepts in practical sense.

Compared with the former, the latter not only has better control, but also serves as a shield for American troops in various combat directions.

Although he was a little unwilling to give up, Scherway could still understand the decision of the White House. After all, influenced by the established national policy of first Europe and then Asia, the number of ground troops on the Asian battlefield will be seriously insufficient for a considerable period in the future. And the only one of the US allies who can help count the issue in Asia is China. In this case, it is undoubtedly wise for Washington to adopt a more flexible attitude on this issue than before.

"Then General Scherwei, we can talk about the second issue. I would like to ask, after completing the full dressing and basic adaptability training, how many types of ships will be arranged for your country to cooperate in the amphibious landing simulation drill? In addition, in order to ensure the effect, I believe that amphibious landing drill should not only be carried out on islands near Myanmar, but also cannot be less than four and a half months!" Cheng Jiaji, who has a lot of experience in dealing with Scherwei, smiled and hit the big stones on the head of his negotiating opponent.

At that moment, Scherway, who was not mentally prepared for this, looked extremely ugly!

Oh my God! Four and a half months of amphibious landing drill?

This is far from the bottom line of at least one and a half months that the US government gave Scherway before. It also means that the US government, which promised a large number of US aid to get China to agree to send troops, will only be put into use by this hard-earned foreign corps in at least seven to eight months. What's more, this will not only disrupt the entire schedule of the US Asian theater, but also give the Japanese army more breathing opportunities. This responsibility is not something Scherway can afford.

"General! You will not be unclear. If my soldiers fell on the beach in actual combat without strict training and all-round drills, they would be a wonderful mockery for your country's belief in the concept of human rights first!" Cheng Jiaji said this and added: "I heard that the wife of the highest authorities in our country had a momentary statement on the topic of seriously injured soldiers when visiting your country. However, they were criticized by the mainstream media in your country and were useless!"

Threat! This is definitely a threat! Although it is a threat, Scherway has no choice. Who makes Americans claim human rights and democracy everywhere? As for the actions of the US government, it is often influenced by public opinion, which is determined by the American political system.

"Two and a half months at most!" After being humble for a long time, Scherwei said in a muffled voice.

Cheng Jiaji smiled. As long as Scherwicken bargained, he would win half of it.
Chapter completed!
