Chapter 492 The Secret of Playing Cards

Yuhang's words resonated with Tom. Tom said frustrated! "The staff of the Special Operations Command, including Wen Xiaoyun, were stunned. Later, after learning, they learned that the first aircraft could not receive ground signals due to a fault in navigation equipment, so they had to rely on maps to speculate. As a result, they flew into dense clouds, freezing on the plane and losing their boat. When they arrived in the north of Stavanger, the traction rope suddenly broke. The glider landed in the dark and was damaged. As a result, Ming, one of the old commando members, climbed out of the wreckage. Later, four died in the German field hospital, and four others were executed by the German army. The second glider was forced to 6 because the towed bomber hit the mountain. "Ming's survivors were all shot dead by the German army in the exchange of fire."

Afterwards, our army dispatched nearly 400 bombers at all costs, and used the night to forcibly break through the German interception under the cover of fighter jets, carried out large-scale bombing of the Vimok Chemical Factory, and even moved the Vimok town to a flat land. For this reason, the Norwegians and us both paid an extremely heavy price. I believe General Song Chi knew the losses of the large bombing.

Tom changed the slide and continued: "But Einnar's secret report from June 2 said that the Vimuk Chemical Plant magically restored heavy water production through repair. Almost after receiving the telegram, London immediately sent the Royal Air Force to carry out air strikes, and our Eighth Air Force aircraft also took off and bombed the power station of the factory. Everyone tried to blow it up. However, the repeated fierce raids did not have much effect, and the price was very high, sacrificing many bomber pilots and Norwegian civilians, and now when the elite German troops took over the security."

After the briefing last night, Colonel Tom packed up his things and prepared to leave. Song Yuhang suddenly asked in a very bad way: "Mr. Tom. Do you have a colleague named Jerry?"

Colonel Tom looked at Song Yuhang in surprise and said in an incredible manner: "Do you know my assistant Captain Jerry? That's a good guy, swimming, basketball, volleyball, tennis, and climbing, he seems to be omnipotent!"

Suddenly, Tom, who realized that he was talking too much, quickly smiled apologetically and left with the secretary with the slide projector, because Tom did not belong here. This space is already very honored for someone like Tom to come in and give a briefing. If the allies decide the world, then this place is undoubtedly a fulcrum to leverage the world.

Later, Song Yuhang finally understood why the cartoon cat and mouse in decades later would have the names Tom and Jerry. The reason is very simple, because this name is too popular in the United States, just like Xiao Ming in China.

After the talks, Song Yuhang returned to his residence with all the information and documents left by Colonel Tang, and ordered Ye "Li Feng, Dong Lang," and "After the commander of the main commando of the combat brigade to select 80 elite commandos, they immediately went to the United States.

Song Yuhang began to try to formulate a complete surprise attack plan in the room alone, but Song Yuhang quickly realized that the difficulties he seemed to face were very great. Before that, the British had been alerting the enemy again and again. Moreover, the German guards also became a quasi-special force in the strict sense.

You should know that in history, the German paratroopers that bloody invaded Crete were regarded as pioneers of special forces by later generations, and the training and tactical implementation of German paratroopers have been close to the definition of special forces in later generations.

The German Crete airborne battle was the only Ben6 campaign that was mainly carried out in airborne combat so far, changing the traditional Ben6 combat mode. It moved the battlefield from plane to three-dimensional, which had a profound impact on the subsequent Ben6 combat. Such an opponent and the tight defense of the Vimok Chemical Factory, even Song Yuhang felt very difficult.

Song Yuhang first performed the action area steps. Since there was about a regiment of German mechanized troops near the Vimok Chemical Plant, if the Vimok Chemical Plant was fighting, the German mechanized troops would only need to be handled by minutes to arrive.

This means that its commando must complete combat missions within minutes and also relax the reinforcements of the German army. After the combat team escapes from the enemy, it will still need to cross hundreds of kilometers of mountainous areas to Switzerland and then transfer to Britain. This is an extremely dangerous process.

Song Yuhang planned to establish ground navigation 60 kilometers northwest of the Norwegian Vimok Chemical Plant, and then guide paratroopers to airborne. Then he sent a team to lay a large number of landmines on the road to mechanized reinforcements of the German army to achieve the role of the German army. After the commando completed the assault, the Allied forces must launch a large-scale air strike to cooperate with the assault team to retreat.

Song Yuhang was also preparing to immediately ask the British to choose a terrain similar to the Vimok Chemical Factory in a suitable place, and then quickly build a Vimok Chemical Factory chemical factory for special assault teams to carry out scraping and training. Song Yuhang never fought a battle of no confidence.

However, before Ye Chuan and others arrived, Song Yuhang knew that all this was just a paper talk and the plan was not done halfway. Song Yuhang received a call from Song Ziwen, and Song Ziwen invited Song Yuhang to come and gather. Song Yuhang suddenly remembered that today was a day off this time.

However, compared with him, Kong Xiangxi's financial ability is far inferior to Song Ziwen. In addition, the virtuous supporter who regards wealth as his life and the second lady Kong Lingjun behind him made the Chinese economy, which is facing the final collapse, become shaky again. However, it is very easy for one or two people to destroy a country's fragile economy, and the power of role models is infinite. What's more, it is a bad role model.

Song Yuhang can only be described in silence as Kong Xiangxi. Song Yuhang knew that Chiang Kai-shek's principle of hiring people was that no matter whether you are a talent or not, as long as you are a loyal talent, it doesn't matter even if you are a mediocre talent. Sometimes, when facing the group of pig heads around Chiang Kai-shek who are not good enough to make trouble, Song Yuhang really wanted to beat them up.

But when Song Yuhang himself arrived at the position of the Supreme Commander of the Expeditionary Force and wholeheartedly built the team of the Song family army for himself, Song Yuhang himself also encountered such a conflict, between talents and mediocre talents, and the ability to fight loyalty! At this time, Song Yuhang suddenly realized, how could there be few people with ability and loyalty?

Today, I came to Song Ziwen's residence in the United States to play bridge. Song Yuhang, who originally knew how to play, was also invited by Song Ziwen. He said he had a simple meal.

It was only when Song Yuhang was appointed as the leader of the United States that Hu Shi, Director of the Federal Loan Bureau Jones, Secretary of State Cochrane and others were all there. It was obvious that the four of them made a decision. Song Yuhang was an onlooker invited, but Song Yuhang had a long way to deal with this, and he came with Shen Jieyi.

.

Song Ziwen's wife Zhang Leyi is busy, and she entertains these two little lovers who are like Cowherd and Weaver Girl!

Zhang Leyi knew very well that it was the decision made by Shen's family when Chen Jieyi came to the United States. After all, it was too dangerous to be with Song Yuhang. Moreover, Song Yuhang was bloodthirsty at that time. It almost didn't take long to report that the Chinese Expeditionary Force executed many Japanese prisoners, or annihilated many enemies.

.

The Shen family has been a scholarly family for generations. Although they have been doing business for more than 200 years in modern times, the Shen family has always regarded themselves as a scholarly family and has a butcher's son-in-law? It is really difficult for the people of the Shen family to accept, so the Shen family found a way to trick Chen Jieyi to the United States, hoping to use time to dilute the relationship between the two.

But what was most unexpected to the Shen family was that Song Yuhang actually used a ten-fighter plane to escort Chen Jieyi to the United States with a special plane. A lieutenant colonel named Mengzi led a platoon of armed soldiers to follow and protect him. Even Chen Jieyi's parents had to inform him. The Shen family was very helpless and almost dared not speak out. The Shen family had been in the United States for several generations. Being able to tolerate foreign troops in their full armed form in their country can itself show Song Yuhang, his energy in the United States.

Shortly after Chen Jieyi arrived in the United States, Roosevelt invited him at the White House dinner. At this time, the Shen family was extremely shocked. It turned out that Song Yuhang, who was in China, had no less influence in the United States than the Shen family.

Today, Song Yuhang and his wife's unification have also made Hu Shi, Jones and others look forward to it for a long time. This great killer on the battlefields of western Yunnan, Myanmar, India, and the Pacific made many Americans very curious. Americans admire heroes. No matter how heroes were born, they only care about heroes! Anyway, the damn Japanese are also damn Japanese. Since the Pearl Harbor incident in the prosperous year, American public opinion has been guiding the people to destroy the despicable and shameless island country in the East as their mission, and to kill all the Japanese slogans. Even the vice president and current president Truman yelled in Congress.

Jones shook Song Yuhang's hand and exaggeratedly in fluent Chinese: "My general, my hero, how can I imagine that a gentle Zhongshi like you, who has successfully helped the Japanese reduce the population of millions! What a great contribution this is to the world!"

Cochrane then shook hands with Song Yuhang, and Song Yuhang said fluently in English: "Dear Secretary of State, if you can tell Director Jones to give us more assistance, I can multiply this number by ten, and we can play a vital role even in the future European battlefield."

Cochran was slightly stunned. He glanced at Song Ziwen and said, "Song! Is this true?"

Song Ziwen smiled and finished the card table before saying, "He is a soldier, and I am a diplomat. You said that is more credible!"

Cochlen smiled and pointed at Soong Ziwen, but looked at Jones and said, "Most of those who have done diplomacy are dishonest. Lies have become part of their lives, such as Sim Manor, Ah Nian wine! Right? Mr. Jones?"

Jones looked at Cochran helplessly and said, "Isn't it okay if you win? Today, I will let you succeed in front of the beautiful lady and the lady!"

Cochran and Song Ziwen looked at each other and said, "It's not just under the card table, I'm going to kill you today to throw away your armor."

Item.

Song Yuhang could feel that it was said that he was spending the weekend together, but in fact, several people had their own purposes. Only Zhang Leyi, the host, seemed to want to make all the guests today happy.

Hu Shi said while shuffling the cards: "I studied bridges when I was in college, but they were far behind you experts. As the saying goes, a slight mistake is a thousand miles away."

"You are so polite!" Cochran smiled at Hu Shi.

"Why are there fifty-two cards in the poker cards, and there is also a king?" King, what is the reason?" Zhang Leyi looked at Cochrane with a charming expression. She thought that Cochrane, who was well-informed and almost omniscient, must have known it.

Cochrane circled around Truman all day long, and important tasks were one after another. The president had important things to arrange for him to do almost any time, or he had important news to report directly to the president, and he rarely had time to read books, and lacked time to study the number of recreational items such as playing cards.

So Cochran stretched out his hand and said to Hu Shi: "The Ambassador knows better than me. I only like to play bridge, but I have not studied why there are fifty-two chapters of playing cards."

Hu Shi smiled slightly, turned to Song Yuhangdao: "Anyi, Commander Song, I heard that you have some research on bridge when I came today. How about you answer this question?"

Song Yuhang looked at Song Ziwen depressedly. He really didn't know how to bridge, but he still had some understanding of the historical sources of playing cards. Seeing that Cochran and Jones were looking at him, while Song Ziwen was pretending to look for matches. Song Ziwen didn't smoke unless the work pressure was too great, it was obvious that Song Ziwen's shield really lacked sincerity.

Song Yuhang knew that Hu Shi was preparing to show off his profound knowledge. If he had been in the past, he would have smiled and shook his head to express his unclearity. But today Shen Jieyi was present, and Song Yuhang would have to rush forward even if he had to harden his head.

Song Yuhang cleared his throat and smiled slightly, "Poker is designed according to the calendar. In a sense, it can be said that poker is a microcosm of the calendar."

"Playing cards are the microcosm of the calendar? Is there any connection between the two?" Shen Jieyi asked like a curious baby.

Zhang Leyi also interrupted: "Can an entertainment product actually be related to the calendar?"

"Listen to An Yi!" When Song Ziwen was studying economics at Harvard University, she also played poker with her American classmates and knew more or less about the origin of poker.

Song Yuhang had no choice but to continue to explain: "Fifty-two cards are genuine cards. They represent the fifty-two weeks of the year. There are four seasons of the year. Four colors of spades, peaches, grass flowers, and squares represent the colors, while red peaches, squares represent the day, black spades, and grass flowers represent the night."

Song Yuhang's words were all surprised, including Song Ziwen, Hu Shi, Cochrane, Jones, Zhang Leyi and others! Shen Jieyi's eyes were filled with small stars.

Zhang Leyi seemed to hear the interest and continued: "Why are there thirteen cards in each suit? Isn't the West most taboo about the number thirteen? Why not change it to ten, it's so good to be perfect! Or eleven or fourteen cards are fine!"

Song Yuhang paused and looked at Hu Shi. Hu Shi, who was almost robbed of the limelight, hurriedly took over the topic and explained: "Indeed, Thirteen is a taboo number in the West, but each suit of playing cards represents a quarter. There are thirteen weeks in a quarter, so playing cards only hums thirteen cards. One more card is not enough, and one less card is not enough."

Hu Shi took a sip of tea and continued: "There is another priority for these thirteen chapters. The sum of the points is ninety-one days, which is exactly the number of days in a quarter. The king representing the sun and the little king representing the moon are more cost-effective, which is exactly in line with the strong sky in one year."

Zhang Leyi shook her head and continued, "Then why are there three people in each card? What does this mean?"

Hu Shi looked at Song Ziwen helplessly and smiled slightly and continued to explain: "The number of heads of the four colors of the people is exactly twelve characters, indicating the twelve months of a year, and also indicating the twelve constellations that the sun passes in a year."

Cochrane also began to become interested in the history of poker, so he asked: "Then, Ambassador Hu, what do the four styles of poker represent?"

Hu Shi smiled and said with a smile: "These four patterns were originally from ancient divination techniques. Spades originated from olive leaves, symbolizing peace and tranquility. Peaches originated from people's hearts, symbolizing wisdom and love. Grass and flowers are the prototype of three-leaf clover. A leaf has three petals. According to European customs, whoever wants to show four-petal three-leaf clover will have great luck. Therefore, grass and flowers represent happiness, squares represent expensive gems, so squares represent wealth!"
