Get on board.

Prepare to cross the river.

There are not many people in the little steamer.

After all, it was a war period. Most people rarely traveled far.

Well, from Hankou to Wuchang, it is already considered a long journey. Ordinary people rarely cross the river.

"etc!"

"etc!"

Suddenly, a stiff Chinese came.

Zhang Yong looked back and saw Stilwell. That's right. It was him.

In fact, Zhang Yong had never seen Stilwell. However, it was a very strange feeling. He could tell at a glance that the other party was Stilwell.

Perhaps it is very similar to later photos, thin, tall, and deep eyes.

In fact, according to Chinese people, he can already call the other old man. He is in his fifties and four years older than the bald man.

Since coming to China in 1935, Stilwell has served as a military officer for three years and has been silent.

It seems that the military rank has always been lieutenant colonel. It has been like this in peacetime.

So what if you graduate from West Point Military Academy? You can't be promoted without fighting.

Once a war is fought, the rank will soar rapidly. In just five years, he will become a four-star general.

Obviously, Stilwell is a lonely old man.

There are no followers around.

Wearing a slightly yellowed military uniform, no military rank, and no decorations.

For those who are not familiar with the military uniforms of the Beautiful Country, they may not notice it at all. Old Man Stilwell seems to wear military uniforms all year round?

abjection……

Loneliness...

It's similar to MacArthur.

By the way, MacArthur is also quite sluggish at this moment.

In fact, the entire Beautiful Country Army is in a very downturn. The entire army is less than 300,000. Congress will still have to lay off.

If it weren't for the bearded suddenly attacking Poland, Patton and others would probably have been forced to retire.

The Congress master thinks that a hundred thousand army is enough. Even the navy will continue to lay off.

Fortunately, there was a loud noise in the sky and the mustache appeared brightly.

Save the beautiful country army.

Save the beautiful country's navy.

In just three or four years, 12 million soldiers were exploding...

Darkness before dawn!

"Mr. Stilwell!" Zhang Yong shouted with his hands.

Called in English.

At that time, there were many people in the government and those who knew English were also familiar with Japanese.

The bald man himself also speaks some Japanese because he has studied in Japan.

"Who are you……"

Stilwell didn't know Zhang Yong.

He is an embassy military officer and rarely goes out.

It was mainly influenced by the isolationism of the Beautiful Country itself and was restricted by Congress.

"My name is Zhang Yong."

"So it's you."

Stilwell knew the name.

After all, he still needs to understand the situation of the war between China and Japan.

It was just a complicated battle report, and almost none of them were true. He had to analyze one by one to eliminate the false and retain the truth.

Obviously, this is a very painful thing. There is almost no truth.

In other words, the war reports between the two sides are fake.

Either it is reduced or exaggerated. It cannot be verified at all.

"Mr. Stilwell, please."

"Thanks."

Stilwell came over.

Although he is an old man, his body is still pretty strong.

It was not yet time for him to suffer a lot. It was time to have a conflict with the bald man.

"Mr. Stilwell, where are you going?"

"Wuchang."

"So too. Mr. Stilwell, it's very rare to meet you."

"What do you want to say to me?"

"Actually, I want to flatter you and please you."

"I don't seem to have anything worthy of your favor. I don't have any benefits to give you."

"Mr. Stilwell, you have it."

"Do you want my pipe? But you don't seem to smoke. I don't smell the smoke on you."

“I prefer women and money to smoking.”

"This is a vulgar hobby. If it was at West Point Military Academy, you have been eliminated by me."

"But here is China. Here, the black ones are white ones. The normal ones are abnormal. The abnormal ones are normal."

"You're right. I've never found the right words to describe this strange phenomenon. I must admit that I like you a little."

"Mr. Stilwell, you're so straightforward, no one likes you."

"I know. But I'm not going to change it."

"ha!"

Zhang Yong smiled.

A stereotypical old man.

He is very principled and he is almost unwilling to make any changes.

Well, to describe an American with strong principle, some people may find it very awkward.

However, in fact, this is indeed the case. Stilwell is the kind of person who is willing to take the lead. Therefore, the conflict with the bald man was irreconcilable. In the end, it broke up unhappily. The bald man won a temporary victory, but lost the long-term.

Like MacArthur, Spruens, Patton and others, Stilwell also came from a wealthy family. From the moment he was born, he didn't have to worry about his livelihood. Therefore, what they pursued was more pure.

ideal.

The conversation ends here.

The steamer is docked.

Stilwell went ashore and went to do his own business.

Zhang Yong didn't say much. Some things were enough to say once.

As long as you are still alive, Stilwell will live, and there will be plenty of time to deal with it in the future.

Go ashore.

Come to the prosperous area of ​​Wuchang.

"arrive."

"oh."

Zhang Yong looked up.

I saw the sign of China Construction Bank.

Oh, Construction Bank. Song Ziliang is the chairman and general manager.

Mrs. Kong's operations were still very modern. They all used banks to come forward, including several major banks.
