    MacArthur's so-called abandonment was not to please Tang Qiuli, nor was it due to Tang Qiuli's pressure. If he didn't want these American soldiers to die, Tang Qiuli had no choice but to chase him to the American military camp with a gun.  Are you going to kill someone?

    What really made MacArthur make such a humiliating and painful choice were Tang Qiuli's last words, which Stilwell recited, "I can leave Manila at any time if I want, and you have to bear the wrath of nearly a million soldiers of the Japanese Army.  "This is the most fatal reminder to MacArthur. Tang Qiuli has become a force that cannot be ignored in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific and can influence the regional situation.  //.//{./book friends upload updates}

    This force is far away from the Americans. Although the possibility of forming an alliance with the Japanese is slim, it does not prevent this tough Chinese from inserting a knife in his back. This is what MacArthur fears the most. He can  In front of Qiu Li, he put on an arrogant posture, or he could deliberately despise this person. Of course, his personality was at play.

    Why don't you want to seize the initiative at the upcoming highest military meeting of the US military and successfully complete your own vision? All military forces in the region will become pawns on your strategic chessboard, and Tang Qiuli is  The most important thing is that if Tang Qiuli leaves in a rage, MacArthur's carefully planned plan will come to naught. Once the Japanese target American power, how should he respond?

    At the moment, the strategic focus of the United States is not in Asia or Southeast Asia, but in Europe, on the battlefield where the British and the Germans are wrestling. The British, who were beaten almost to the point of collapse by Hitler, need constant blood transfusions from the United States.  In order to be able to sustain it, Southeast Asia and the South Pacific are nothing but tiny pawns in the eyes of the highest decision-makers in the United States.

    therefore.  The current core strategy of the United States is to try to avoid conflicts with the Japanese in Asia, and to fully support Britain, France and other countries in Europe to fight against the Germans. Therefore, MacArthur knew full well the U.S. military strength in this area.  It was not enough to compete with the Japanese, but he also tried hard and made requests to the country to increase military strength.  Replace weapons and equipment for the troops.

    The reports that could be typed were like nothing but mud in the sea. MacArthur could only use a combination of fair and dishonest methods, and pay the minimum price.  In order to strive for the greatest interests of the United States, Tang Qiuli's troops fought to the death with the Japanese troops in Indochina.  is the core of this plan.

    MacArthur¡¯s political face was fully revealed at this time.  **Bubble!* Tang Qiuli's reasons and demands seemed absurd and ridiculous.  Childish and incredible, this is probably what the Chinese call "face." Well, I will use the lives of thirty-four American soldiers to satisfy your face. As long as you can sit at the conference table, I, MacArthur, will be sure.  Spit out all the things you don't deserve!

    MacArthur stopped, his face calmed down, and said to Stilwell, who was looking dizzy: "General Stilwell, go to the scene immediately and order the military police to execute the rioting soldiers on the spot. Remember, you must  In front of Tang Qiuli, and tomorrow night, I will be at the Manila Hotel to entertain all the important officials attending the meeting. You are responsible for informing the Chinese. "

    Stilwell was speechless. It's not that he didn't expect this result, but this old bastard gave him the offending job again. The dignified chief of staff of the US military headquarters in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific became the supervisor.  He executed his subordinates in front of the Chinese people. Needless to say, once this news spreads, his ancestors in heaven will be scolded by American soldiers and become upset.

    But what can be done? The official level is overwhelming, and Stilwell has to carry out the commander-in-chief's order. However, he cannot let MacArthur stay out of the matter and pick himself out. Stilwell pondered for a moment and said: "General,  According to the regulations of our army, the execution of soldiers outside of war requires the signature of the highest military commander before the military police can execute it.¡±

    MacArthur glanced at Stilwell, who had a serious look on his face, and cursed in his mind, "This dirty Texas cowboy won't be willing to drag himself into trouble," he said. They are all veterans of the U.S. Army.  Not only was he familiar with the regulations, but he was also familiar with them. Stilwell made sense, and MacArthur had no excuses or reasons to evade them.

    MacArthur picked up the pen on the table and wrote a line of words. Stilwell read it once, carefully put it into his pocket, saluted, said goodbye, and watched Stilwell disappear into the living room.  , MacArthur was in a daze for a while, and suddenly threw the pen and ink bottle out of the window in a rage. Like a wounded beast, he roared, "Villain, this Chinese villain, I will make you pay a hundred times the price!"

    On the night of September 13, 1940, outside a Chinese shop in the downtown area of ??Manila, although it was already late at night, there were a huge crowd of onlookers. This was a big event that shocked the whole of Manila.This incident has been going on for decades, but no one, mainly locals, has ever dared to kill or wound American soldiers in the downtown area in full view of the public.

    The person involved in the catastrophe not only did not run away, but stayed at the scene leisurely. The U.S. military police did not look like surveillance, but more like a warning. The citizens of Manila were confused and could not understand the matter. The more attractive they were,  Out of human curiosity, the citizens who had already laid down and were about to sleep with their arms around the yellow-faced woman also got up and joined the crowd of onlookers.

    Shan Hu glanced at the people outside the store, who were poking their heads and whispering, grinned, and said to Tang Qiuli: "Xiao Qiu, this thing seems to be quite big. There must be tens of thousands of people watching outside, right?" Shi Di  That guy from Wei has been there for more than two hours, and I don¡¯t know what his intentions are!¡±

    Tang Qiuli smiled calmly and said: "Huzi, the Americans don't want to lose face, but they don't want me to leave in anger. Now it's a dilemma. I guess there should be a result. Stilwell came back with the command arrow.  Where is MacArthur scolding the streets? It is very possible that these American soldiers who deserve to be killed are MacArthur's victims. Are all arrangements made? "

    Shan Hu grinned, "Don't worry, Mei Xue and Lao Songtou have been sent away from the back door a long time ago. There are more than 20 special guards outside. If the US military police dare to take action, they will make a big hole in everyone's head first, especially  These guys in the Guards are so good!¡±

    Tang Qiuli was relieved. Although he concluded that MacArthur would eventually compromise and take the heads of these American soldiers in exchange for not leaving angrily, putting Mei Xue in a dangerous environment was the last thing he wanted to do. Mei Xue's  The injury had just healed, and he absolutely didn't want to see his wife lying in a pool of blood again.

    If this is the case, Tang Qiuli will never forgive himself. He will ignore all the consequences, even give up the plan to attack Ito's Japanese army, and send his troops south to Luzon Island, making the Americans pay a heavy price for this. I hope MacArthur and Shi  Diwei, don't be so unwise.

    Stilwell finally came back. Tang Qiuli found that the American general, who always had a straight back, had a tall body with a slight stoop and a listless spirit, as if something heavy was weighing on his heart. Stilwell looked at it  Tang Qiuli glanced at him and said without any emotion: "General Tang, General MacArthur authorized me to immediately execute these soldiers who seriously violated military discipline, and to let you supervise the entire execution process. I don't know what your  What¡¯s your opinion?¡±

    Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "I have no power to supervise you Americans in enforcing military discipline, but I can be a bystander, and at the same time, as a victim, witness the whole process, hoping to change my attitude toward Americans.  the opinion of."

    Stilwell didn't even glance at Tang Qiuli's interest. He handed the order signed by MacArthur to Major Johnson, who was waiting impatiently and internally. Major Johnson took it and saw that like a lightning strike, these people had been struck by the highest  He knew most of the military commanders and soldiers who were sentenced to death. To be honest, he also benefited from the benefits obtained by these soldiers, including women, of course.

    But now, he wanted to execute their execution with his own hands. Looking at the stone-hard face of the Chief of Staff, Johnson felt mixed emotions in his heart and said nothing. With a wave of his hand, dozens of military policemen rushed over. The two of them held one seriously injured and fell to the ground.  The American soldiers, including the Filipino Chai Ong Song, dragged him outside the store. Speaking of which, these American soldiers, who enjoyed humiliating ordinary people, kicked him against the iron plate this time.

    It was just their misfortune that they did not receive any bandaging or treatment for more than two hours, and they just groaned in pain. Major Johnson, the military judge of the Military Police, did have compassion, but how could he dare?  , it is obvious that the Chinese who is sitting firmly in the chair and cannot be provoked wants to preserve the evidence at the scene.

    The American soldier lying on the ground at his feet was still drinking coconut water with gusto. Johnson couldn't help cursing, "Why didn't you choke this Chinese to death?" These American soldiers thought they were being treated by their companions.  While carrying them to the hospital, he kept saying "Thank you!" while opening his swollen eyes like pig heads, staring at Tang Qiuli and Shan Hu with hatred.

    Cha Wengsong was the least injured. He probably saw that something was wrong. He struggled desperately and kept shouting. This time, the shouts were all in Filipino. Except for the onlookers, no one understood it.  , probably because he was unjustly accused, a U.S. military policeman who knew the inside story hit him in the mouth with the butt of a rifle. Chai Wengsong's lip burst and several front teeth fell out.

    The U.S. military policeman who beat Cha Wengsong thought bitterly, "If you, a piece of trash, hadn't been there to tell the news, what would have happened later? It was all you, who killed thirty-eight soldiers. We'll shoot him later."  When the time comes, I must shoot you a few more times to prevent you from dying so happily. "

    It seems that being a dog is also a very risky industry. A burst of gunshots,Just under the eyes of tens of thousands of Manila citizens, thirty-four American soldiers were executed by the military police. Under the dim street lights, Yin Hong's blood spattered far away. In the salty sea breeze, there was a touch of  The smell of blood was immediately blown away by the wind.
