On June 5, a telegram from Guo Yunshan arrived at the desk of British Prime Minister Chamberlain. Chamberlain originally didn¡¯t want to read it, but curiosity killed a cat and also caused great harm to Chamberlain!
Chamberlain opened the envelope and read only two sentences, then his expression changed drastically and he shouted: "Call Senator Churchill here immediatelyimmediately!"
There was no unnecessary nonsense in the letter. It just told Chamberlain that Guo Yunshan would make a surprise visit to Alexandria on June 9 and have a party with the officers and soldiers of the Mediterranean Fleet. All the party expenses would be paid by the British
Churchill walked into No. 10 Downing Street in a panic, saw Chamberlain and asked: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what do you want from me?"
Chamberlain handed the telegram sent by Guo Yunshan to Churchill to read it. After reading it, Churchill sighed and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the negotiations between Arita Hachiro and Ambassador to Japan Clegg have angered Guo Yunshan, and we may have to pay some cost!"
Chamberlain was just a businessman. When he heard Churchill's words, he couldn't sit still and asked, "What should we do?"
Churchill thought for a while and replied: "A highly respected army general should be sent to Cairo, Egypt, to take care of the naval base in Alexandria. I think that's what Guo Yunshan wants to do, and he should also worry about the army in Cairo, right?"
Chamberlain frowned and asked: "You mean to use excellent army generals to command the Egyptian army to make Guo Yunshan have scruples and minimize losses?"
After hearing this, Churchill couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and said to himself: "It's okay if Guo Yunshan's anger is controlled within a certain range. If it exceeds Guo Yunshan's bottom line, this guy will kick his nose in his face and kill you at all costs, no matter you are Whoever, no matter where you hide, he will think of ways to kill you, it¡¯s so difficult!¡±
Thinking of this, Churchill asked: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the signing of the contract between Clechi and Japanese Foreign Minister Arita Hachiro was not done by you, was it?"
At this time, Chamberlain regarded himself as a peaceful layman and said: "Our country shed too much blood in the First World War and needs peace"
Churchill immediately waved his hand and replied: "Okayyou don't have to say it. You must have sold out China's interests again. It's strange that Guo Yunshan doesn't get angry. I can't control this matter. I'm leaving first!"
Who knew that Chamberlain suddenly grabbed Churchill and shouted: "Mr. Churchill, you must put the interests of the British Empire first"
Churchill was stunned for a moment, turned around and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Chamberlain said emotionally: "You are very familiar with Guo Yunshan. I need you to persuade him and prevent him from harming too many interests of the British Empire"
Churchill sighed and said: "I will try my best!"
After saying that, he picked up his hat and walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, as a member of the House of Commons, I have to remind you that in order to avoid various dangers, Guo Yunshan sometimes puts various He is good at nipping danger in the bud; in addition, his combined fleet has sailed out of Bremen, and its destination is still uncertain, but it is undergoing training around the British Isles. We can't help but guard against this?"
Chamberlain smiled, waved his hand and said, "Okay! I understand, go ahead and wish you immediate success!"
Seeing Chamberlain¡¯s indifferent look, Churchill sighed, turned around and left!
After Chamberlain watched Churchill leave, he shouted: "Send the list and resume of the generals currently in service to my table immediately, right away!"
After a while, the secretary sent a document, which was full of the list of generals serving in the United Kingdom. Chamberlain looked at it carefully and said to the secretary: "General Archibald Percival Wavell is now in office." How was your performance in the British Southern Military District?"
The secretary replied: "The achievements have been good. The combat effectiveness of several units under the Southern Military Region has improved rapidly, but he just looks a bit too scary"
Chamberlain asked with a smile: "Why are you so scary?"
The secretary replied: "He seems to be a one-eyed dragon, and he is very rigid. The officers below dislike him very much and like to call him a knight!"
Chamberlain laughed dumbly and replied: "Knight? Isn't that a traditional soldier? Youimmediately ask General Wavell to report to me, let him tidy up immediately, and then do a handover, and then go to Egypt to take office!"
The secretary muttered: "General Wavell's transfer orders have been issued, letting him take charge of the Egyptian garrison in July, and now"
Chamberlain sighed and said: "Go quickly! Time waits for no one"
Alexander port;
Starting from June 5th, the port has been bustling with activity, and there are a large number of Chinese chefs making Chinese fast food. This is mainly because these Chinese people who work in restaurants somehow learned that a group of Chinese people are coming to visit, so they put down the fast food. When we drove to the pier, large stoves were set up one after another. All kinds of vegetables and meats were poured into the big spoons in countless ways, causing the locals to burst into laughter all over the floor, like a flash flood!
These days, even the British naval officers and soldiers in the port sneaked off the ship to experience Chinese delicacies. Gradually, Alexandria Port became a Chinese food street, including Cantonese, Shandong, Huaiyang, and Sichuan cuisine. The soldier's mouth is full of oil and his heart is full of joy!
General Cunningham looked at the British naval officers and soldiers who were busy in the food street on the flagship of the Warspite and sighed, and said: "The naval officers are still too miserable. If this was Guo Yunshan's trick, we would have I was defeated by Chinese food!¡±
A staff officer behind him replied: "Guo Yunshan can't be that insidious, right?"
Cunningham said angrily: "He is more sinister than you think! Order all these chefs to be invited, and then number them. During the dinner, ask them to cook Chinese food, and let Guo Yunshan's men eat with us. Let¡¯s go to hell together, let¡¯s see what tricks Guo Yunshan can come up with!¡±
The staff officer replied: "Yes!"
A large number of naval policemen rushed into the food street at the port, registered each chef, and then issued a one-time certification card, which was valid for three days. Within these three days, these Chinese chefs applied for the British Navy's Mediterranean Fleet to be the most popular. Specialty dishes to cope with Guo Yunshan¡¯s visit!
Palma, Guo Yunshan Headquarters;
Glasses took out a piece of intelligence provided by Lu Jiang and said: "Boss, the chef we sent has been recruited by the British Mediterranean Fleet. Now it depends on when we arrive in Alexandria!"
Guo Yunshan nodded and asked, "Has the food given to those British soldiers these days been drugged?"
The glasses replied: "It's gone, but if you don't drink the drink we provide, the medicine will not be stimulated and nothing will happen. If you drink the drink we provide, you will be completely comatose within 30 seconds, but even so, taking the entire It is also very difficult to control the Mediterranean Fleet. After all, there are many officers and soldiers on duty. If we try to control it by force, blood will be shed!"
Guo Yunshan was looking at the map of Alexandria. When he heard this, he raised his head and asked, "Do I care about blood?"
