    MacArthur was furious. He was an arrogant guy who thought highly of himself. He was extremely proud of being able to manage such a large overseas territory for the United States of America. He was also the oldest among all senior generals in the U.S. military, with only the current staff officer  General Marshall, who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, could rival him.  .

    Historically, famous American generals in the European battlefields of World War II, such as Bradley and Patton, were all his juniors. Even Eisenhower, who served as the President of the United States, was once his assistant. MacArthur served as the commander of the US Army's "Rainbow Division"  , when fighting in the European battlefield of World War I, Bradley, Patton, etc. were still rookie-level military cadets, and Eisenhower was a guy who could only play rugby.

    Now, in front of many guests and dignitaries, he was accused of being an idiot by a Chinese who was decades younger than him. With MacArthur's temper, how could he tolerate it? He pointed at Tang Qiuli, his lips trembling with anger,  Not a word could come out.

    He has been in the army for decades, and has been a powerful general for more than 20 years. Within the sphere of influence of the US military, his words are imperial edicts, and he can ask President Quezon of the Philippines to amend the constitution and add to the history of the Philippines.  Never before had the rank of Grand Marshal of the Army, Navy and Air Force been humiliated like this, especially in front of the Chinese whom he hated so much.

    MacArthur took the case and stood up. According to his temper, he wanted to call in the guards and throw this hateful-looking Chinese into prison immediately. Stilwell stood aside and winked at him.  MacArthur's impulsive mind calmed down, and he just looked at Tang Qiuli with cold eyes. The guests all focused their attention here, and the atmosphere was so tense that it almost exploded.

    Tang Qiuli still had a smile that was so angry that it wouldn't cost him his life.  Pretending to be surprised, he said: "Oh! General MacArthur, why are you so excited? Do you agree with my opinion and want to give me a standing ovation? No need, I just told the truth! A family conversation, just  for reference."

    Tang Qiuli's words almost made everyone fall to the ground, muttering secretly, "This Chinese Tang Qiuli is too aggressive. I didn't see the general's face, which was already blue and purple with black lines.  "MacArthur really didn't want to stay on this occasion anymore.  He was afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions, draw his gun and kill the Chinese man, or that he would have a heart attack and hang here on the spot.

    MacArthur had a sullen face and resisted the urge to strangle Tang Qiuli to death.  Said: "I'm very sorry, General Tang, your Excellencies, generals, I suddenly feel unwell. I need to go back to rest, so I'm sorry. Stilwell, please take my place in entertaining these guests from afar. Farewell!"

    Tang Qiuli shook his head regretfully and said to Alexander, Brooks and Stilwell: "It's a pity. I still have many questions. I want to discuss them with General MacArthur and ask him for advice. Unexpectedly, the general is not feeling well. It's really  It¡¯s worrying!¡± After finishing speaking, he kept smacking his tongue with regret and regret on his face.

    At this moment, even these three people had the urge to run away. MacArthur could walk away, but they could not. They represented the image of their country. The three people suddenly understood that tonight, when they sat at the same table with Tang Qiuli,  It's a very painful thing for the Chinese.  how to say?  It makes people disgusted, and you can't offend them. Maybe you will embarrass yourself at some point.

    Tang Qiuli didn't care. Even if he wanted to hurt MacArthur in such a public place, he also warned him in advance that at tomorrow's military meeting, be honest. Your tricks won't work on me. Alexander chose  He was silent. In fact, he didn't know what to say.

    Stilwell didn't know what kind of topic to bring up. The four of them were silent, just taking a sip of red wine absentmindedly. Tang Qiuli looked calm. The other three people each had their own thoughts. In Brooks' head,  The doubts have not been eliminated. Since MacArthur has been troubled and unable to step down, there is no need for him to feel uncomfortable on military issues.

    Soon we might as well talk about other topics to liven up the atmosphere, "Why doesn't this Chinese Tang Qiuli have a braid on the back of his head? How long is his beautiful lady's feet?" Brooks's gentlemanly demeanor,  Once again he dodged a bullet by feeling that it was befitting of an aristocrat to seek permission from his master, Stilwell, before asking these questions.

    After listening to Brooks's extremely low whisper, Stilwell's expression changed drastically, and he almost blocked this guy's mouth, "My living ancestor, are you having water in your fucking head? Why do you think of these ridiculous and boring things?"  The problem is that Yelang's arrogance is nothing more than this. It's strange. How can he achieve the position of chief of general staff with this characteristic of curiosity that killed the cat? Thank God, Brooks asked for his opinion first, otherwise, Stilwell would definitely believe it.  , at this moment, Brooks is already upside down.He fell unconscious on the ground, with only half a life left.  "

    Stilwell's back was covered with cold sweat. What kind of cocktail party was this? The host was so angry that he left the table in the middle. If this Australian guy was carried out again with his face covered in blood, it would be very lively. He quickly made an excuse to greet other guests.  After pulling Brooks away from here, Brooks still complained ignorantly.

    "Dear General Stilwell, I haven't asked that Chinese about the question I'm confused about yet." Stilwell was speechless, wishing to punch this guy's mouth open. In fact, MacArthur rolled his sleeves angrily.  After leaving, the relaxed atmosphere of the reception was gone, and the guests all found it boring.

    I came here to attend a cocktail party. It was clearly a class where General MacArthur was taught a lesson by the young Chinese. Then, the person who left with an excuse was the British Alexander. He was not interested in staying here. More importantly,  Being with Tang Qiuli, there was an indescribable feeling of oppression and awkwardness.

    MacArthur organized the reception with great fanfare and carefully arranged it as a preview before the military meeting, aiming to give Tang Qiuli a show of authority. It ended in a hurry in less than two hours. On the way back to the hotel where he was staying, Shan Hu extended his thumb and said, "Little  Qiu, be happy, this is how you should treat that arrogant American."

    Mei Xue said another thing, "Qiu Li, that Australian who is with MacArthur, always looks at me with evil eyes, very annoying!" Tang Qiuli sat up straight with a "huh", "Xiao Xue  , why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier, I simply dealt with him too, huh, you dare to take ideas from my wife, are you impatient to live?

    Brooks was really unjust. He was just interested in Mei Xue's feet, but he was regarded as a big pervert by Mrs. Tang. If he considers himself to be the most gentlemanly person, Lieutenant General Brooks, Chief of Staff of the Australian Army, must  Knowing that I have such an image in the eyes of this intoxicatingly beautiful Chinese girl, will it cause me to suffer a serious illness?  It¡¯s unknown.

    On September 15th, in the conference room of the US military headquarters in Manila, the Supreme Allied Military Conference on China and Southeast Asia Theater, which had been prepared for half a month, was finally held as scheduled. As the host, the Americans had a lot of trouble arranging the seats.  After some thought, MacArthur sat in the chairman's seat without hesitation.

    On the left and right are Alexander, Brooks, and their assistants. What is a little surprising is that Chairman Chiang¡¯s special representative, Mr. Yang Yongtai, sits next to Brooks, and the seat is further forward than Tang Qiuli. Obviously, Yang Yongtai¡¯s  After some performance and gaining MacArthur's favor, Yang Yongtai was given a more honorable position.

    As for Tang Qiuli, I'm sorry, you are here to accompany me to the last seat, and a group of people who are obviously Americans have come to make up the numbers. Generals from various small Asian countries with humble expressions and awkward manners are sitting there, shrinking their heads, with a look on their faces.  They looked flattered, probably because their grandfathers had never had the honor of being on an equal footing with foreigners.

    The meeting went smoothly, and there was no red-faced fight for the interests of their respective countries as Tang Qiuli expected. In fact, as long as Tang Qiuli, Alexander, and Brooks did not raise objections, those meetings were purely for show.  The generals stared intently at MacArthur's eloquent mouth, fearing to miss every opportunity to applaud and express agreement.

    Tang Qiuli listened to MacArthur's long speech indifferently, and felt ridiculous for covering up the Americans' actions. MacArthur's speech was a theme, ensuring the stability of Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, and eliminating dangerous factors. To put it bluntly, it was to eliminate the Japanese.  power, but the Japanese are not mentioned once in the entire article.

    However, Alexander raised another question, which somewhat surprised Tang Qiuli. During the discussion, Alexander asked Tang Qiuli, "Dear General Tang, I don't know when our British Empire's troops can return to Burma.  And Indochina?¡±

    Tang Qiuli replied readily: "General Alexander, I personally do not hold any position in the Allied Headquarters, so I have no right to decide the actions of the British Army. If, General, you think that the British Army has such a  We can counterattack Burma at any time, and of course I support it with both hands. It just so happens that our ** division troops are under great pressure when facing the superior Japanese army. Being able to fight side by side with the Allies is also what I look forward to. "

    Alexander immediately shut his mouth and secretly cursed Tang Qiuli for being cunning. If the British army had such strength, why did he bother to ask more questions?  Just send troops to fight back. He just asked Tang Qiuli to make a promise in front of representatives of various countries, so as to lay a foreshadowing for the British army to return to Myanmar in the future.

    He still doesn¡¯t know that the British Governor in India has been forced to sign a city alliance with Tang Qiuli for the life of a brigade soldier. The chance for the British to set foot on the land of Myanmar again is as full of surprises as a comet hitting the earth
