Five days after the Japanese army captured Pearl Harbor, the transport plane that Mu Yaping was riding landed at Chongqing Field Airport. It was the rainy season, and the climate in Chongqing was always haze, and the humidity in the air was very high. When the huge roar of the transport plane stopped, Mu Yaping, his wife Jiang Xiuli and his personal guards walked off the plane.

The welcome ceremony at the airport was not grand but was on high alert. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek led all the generals to the airport to greet him. Nowadays, people who can get such courtesy in China can be Mu Yaping who can personally greet him. Seeing Mu Yaping and his wife get off the plane spiral ladder, Chiang Kai-shek took the lead in greeting him. Mu Yaping smiled and still raised his hand to salute as before.

"Report to the CEO! I'll report to you!" Mu Yaping's performance was neither gentle nor humble, but generous. Chiang Kai-shek hurriedly grabbed Mu Yaping's hand and said, "My deputy commander-in-chief, everyone has been waiting for you all day and night, and finally I have been looking forward to you. Brother Mu, your command position should be in Chongqing!" Chiang Kai-shek seemed to be very sincere as if he saw an old friend. Especially when he used his tone to your command position, it showed Mu Yaping's unique identity. People around him did not think that Chiang Kai-shek's behavior was redundant, because Mu Yaping's strength was no longer the same as before.

The generals and officials who were familiar or unfamiliar with Mu Yaping all had respectful smiles on their faces, and this respect was by no means pretended. Now Mu Yaping is already an unattainable prominent figure in their hearts, and this change was not formed overnight. Their meeting with the wife was even more intimate, and their performance made the atmosphere more like meeting with his own sisters.

Among the welcome crowd, there was a blond and blue-eyed foreigner who was very eye-catching. Chiang Kai-shek made a special trip to introduce this prominent figure to Mu Yaping. It turned out that this was the US Ambassador to China. Mu Yaping greeted Gauss in fluent English. Gauss was a little surprised. He did not expect that this Chinese god of war spoke so fluently in English.

In fact, Gauss is a Chinese expert, and he speaks fluently in Chinese. Since Mu Yaping greeted him in English, Gauss felt very kind and said in English: "Dear Deputy Commander Mu, I would like to express my highest greetings to you on behalf of President Roosevelt. You are an amazing military strategist and economist. You not only created an unparalleled economic miracle in the west, but also led the army of the western China and created brilliant achievements. I am extremely honored to meet you today."

The Americans' straightforwardness, Mu Yaping knew this was not flattery and said: "Mr. Ambassador! I expressed my anger for the despicable tactics of the Japanese army and the barbaric capture of Pearl Harbor, and at the same time expressed sympathy for the major losses paid by the United States. Please tell President Roosevelt that we Chinese people will stand firmly with the American people and fight side by side until we achieve victory in the war against Japan. I am full of confidence in this, and the final victory will definitely belong to the Chinese and American people!"

Stuart smiled on his face and said, "Deputy Commander Mu, I believe that the Chinese and American people will surely achieve the final victory. Let me first reveal to you that a few days later, a domestic military expedition team, commissioned by President Roosevelt, came to Chongqing to negotiate with your government. I hope General Mu will achieve a successful talk." Mu Yaping said, "Mr. Ambassador, I believe that China and the United States are in the desire of equality. The result of the talks is a win-win situation for both sides, and I am more confident in this."

Both sides spoke in English, but Lao Jiang couldn't understand a word. He did not arrange an interpreter in advance, so Lao Jiang was eager to know what they were talking about. When he got on the bus separately, Mu Yaping saw the urgency of Lao Jiang and said, "President, the US ambassador said that a US military delegation came to Chongqing a few days later. It seems that if we investigate the issue of combat against Japan, we should study it carefully." Lao Jiang's expression changed and smiled.

At noon, a welcome banquet was held at the veteran's official residence. After the banquet, Lao Jiang signaled Mu Yaping. Mu Yaping understood it and stood up and walked into the living room inside. There were still many generals outside. When they saw this scene, they knew that Lao Jiang was going to discuss confidential matters with Deputy Commander Mu. Perhaps everyone could guess what they were going to talk about, but I'm afraid that few people could guess the specific content correctly.

The two of them sat in the inner room. Chiang Kai-shek personally poured a cup of tea for Mu Yaping and said, "Brother Mu, the world situation has changed drastically. The declaration of war between the United States and Japan is a great opportunity for us. China's war of resistance will no longer be isolated. At that time, we will receive the greatest assistance from our allies. Want to hear your opinions on this?" Chiang Kai-shek said that he saw Mu Yaping calmly, and he still had a calm expression, and he couldn't help feeling jealous.

Mu Yaping said without thinking: "Commission! The United States and Japan declared war, I had expected it, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." Chiang Kai-shek asked in surprise: "How do you say this?" Mu Yaping said: "Since Germany, Italy and Japan signed alliance relations in May last year, the conflict between the United States and Japan has continued to increase. In September last year, the United States, Britain, the Netherlands and other countries initiated a joint embargo, especially strategic materials such as oil, which strangled the Japanese's life gate. Modern war dependence on oil has reached a very scary level. For example, without oil, Japan's joint fleet and the Japanese air force are just decorations."

Chiang Kai-shek said: "The Japanese can not extend their hands to Southeast Asia, so that they will not cause open confrontation between the United States and Japan?" Mu Yaping said: "President, there is a situation you may not know. The joint embargo initiated by the United States has another additional condition, which is to urge Japan to end the Chinese war and withdraw its troops from China. This is something that the Japanese cannot agree to, so I said that the war between the United States and Japan is expected."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction and said, "There is no military strategist in the government. You have such a strategic vision as you have. However, the Japanese army easily captured the Hawaiian Islands, and the US Pacific Fleet was almost wiped out. The Americans are probably unable to take care of themselves. The US is currently facing threats. I think Americans will not be able to make a difference in the Pacific Ocean within a few years. What should we do in this situation?" Chiang Kai-shek became dependent on Mu Yaping.

Mu Yaping said: "If the Japanese had a sharper strategic vision, did not launch the South China Sea battle, and retreated from the Chinese battlefield, and used all their energy to deal with the United States. If the Japanese army seized the opportunity to occupy Pearl Harbor and seized the opportunity of the United States withdrawing troops from the Pacific Ocean, first concentrate strong forces to land in South America, and then swept from south to north. As long as the war burned to the United States, I would think that in a year, the US territory would be fully occupied by the Japanese army."

Chiang Kai-shek widened his eyes as if he was listening to a book of heaven. Mu Yaping continued to say: "I have basis for saying this. The Japanese immigrants have millions of immigrants in South America. Once the Japanese army landed in South America to fight, the national pride of these Japanese immigrants will be aroused. The Japanese army is like a tiger with wings. Not only will the Japanese army receive great support, but the problem of losing troops will also be solved. Unfortunately, the Japanese have no strategic masters. They launched the Southeast Asian war and lost the opportunity to launch an attack on the United States."

Lao Jiang agreed and said: "Yes, Americans will not see this. Fortunately, the Japanese do not have such people as you wait for. But let's talk about the real issues! The American ambassador said that a US military delegation will come to inspect and negotiate soon. I want to hear your opinions on how we negotiate with the Americans."

Mu Yaping smiled and said, "President, let you see a few photos before answering your question." After that, Mu Yaping took out a dozen photos in his briefcase. The first thing that caught his eye was a recent photo of a fighter plane, and the next few photos were photos of a fighter plane gliding, taking off, and flying in the air. "Is it a fighter plane?" Lao Jiang asked.

Mu Yaping said: "This is a fighter produced by my Lanzhou secret aircraft manufacturer. It is named the J-1 fighter. It has been officially equipped with the air force. This aircraft has a slightly better performance than the Japanese Zero fighter. We are now able to compete with the Japanese Air Force for local air supremacy." Lao Jiang asked in confusion: "Your secret aircraft manufacturer?" Obviously he didn't believe it.

Mu Yaping said secretly: "President, I don't have to hide it from you now. Do you still remember the incident of the Xi'an aircraft manufacturing plant being forced to dismount after the July 7 Incident and the disappearance of German engineers?" "Is it you who disappeared from the German engineer..." Lao Jiang widened his eyes. Mu Yaping said: "It's true that I did it. President, you won't do it like this, but for the interests of the country and the nation, the evil ones have to be done by me. Currently, German engineers live very well in Lanzhou. They all marry and have children. They are happy. With the participation of German engineers, after four years of repeated trials, we finally developed an advanced combat aircraft. Our aircraft is not inferior to any country, and the combat performance is so far the most advanced."

Lao Jiang asked even more confusedly: "The machinery and equipment transported from Germany in Xi'an has been transported to Jiangnan by me. How do you produce aircraft?" "I have dropped the advanced machinery in Germany beforehand. And I have now developed my own advanced processing equipment that can fully meet the needs of large-scale production," Mu Yaping told the truth.

When Lao Jiang heard this, he was overjoyed and said without any reproach to Mu Yaping, "Brother Mu, I admire you! I always thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect that your despicable methods would be better than mine." After that, the two couldn't help laughing. Lao Jiang was in a good mood and continued to check the photos below.

"Isn't this a tank? It looks like a German tank?" Lao Jiang asked in confusion. Mu Yaping said: "This is the main battle tank we produce ourselves. Although the appearance is like a German Tiger tank, the internal structure is completely different. This tank has been named the Type 40 main battle tank. This tank is divided into two types: light and heavy. The heavy tank weighs 40 tons, and the light tank weighs 20 tons. The tank turret rotates 360 degrees without blind spots, and the range can reach 500 kilometers. Moreover, our tanks are not exaggerated in terms of engine performance, artillery power, mobility, and protective armor. It is no exaggeration to say that it is currently the most advanced in the world."

When Lao Jiang Wen heard this, he was a little excited and said, "When did you start secretly developing tanks?" Mu Yaping smiled and said, "President! Do you still remember a scientist missing from the Nanjing Academy of Sciences in 34 years, the year of the Great Wall War of Resistance?" Lao Jiang searched and remembered, "It seems that there is such a thing, but I can't remember the name."

Mu Yaping continued: "This person is Luo Bingchuan, who has returned from studying in the United States. Luo Bingchuan is an outstanding expert in internal combustion engines. Before returning to China, he had already made his mark in internal combustion engines in the United States. After the September 18th Incident, this person returned to China to serve, but he was not valued in the Academy of Sciences, so I sent special forces to Nanjing to secretly hijack this person."

When Lao Jiang heard an embarrassing expression on his face, he said, "Your Special Forces?" to the reproach from Mu Yaping. Before Mu Yaping answered, Soong Mei-ling and Jiang Xiuli walked in.

"Darling, what time is it, it's time to have supper!" Soong Mei-ling said a little angrily. Old Jiang's face was flushed, probably a little overly excited. He glanced at his watch and said, "It's time to have supper, Mei-ling! Take out the bottle of aged Moutai I have treasured!" "Darling! You don't drink, why... today...." "Today is the happiest day in my life, and I have to drink!"
