The chairman of the committee stopped talking, walked to the window and pushed open the window, the spring breeze of March blew his long shirt, and he looked at the begonia blooming in the branches outside the window, and only turned around again after a long time, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said: "Let's go, let's go to the Bai Mansion to see Jiang Haoran." ”

Although it was not explicitly said that Jiang Haoran should be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, everyone in the room knew that the chairman had made a decision, Dai Li's face was like ashes, Chen Chen and Bai Chongxi were full of begonias blooming outside the window, Chen Chen went out quickly, and ordered Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, to prepare a car to go to the Bai Mansion.

Wang Shihe was still a little incredulous, and only after reconfirming it did he go out like a whirlwind, and then he heard him howling in the courtyard for the guards to gather, and he was so excited that he didn't have the slightest look of the chief of the guards.

When he was about to go out, the chairman of the committee seemed to suddenly remember, and said to Chen Chen: "Jiang Haoran's snow wolf special combat team is still in Shatian Town, right?" ”

Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses and said, "It's still there, there are two squads that have been stationed there all along, and they haven't been out of the camp at all." ”

Chen Chen looked at the chairman with flustered eyes, thinking that the chairman was going to blame him for keeping the snow wolf special combat team in the camp, but who knew that the chairman just said calmly: "Inform them to go to the Bai Mansion!" ”

"Yes, I'll call the Shatian Town station, this Jiang Haoran is going to be the commander of the expeditionary force, the Japanese army must be panicked, and it is indeed necessary to strengthen the defense."

Chen Chen replied self-righteously, and then went out to call, in fact, the chairman didn't think about this at all, but he didn't explain it. Although the Central Military Commission could not contact the 40 th Group Army, the chairman believed that Jiang Haoran's guards left in Chongqing would definitely keep in touch with the 40 th Group Army, otherwise they would lose the value of leaving the guards, and Jiang Haoran would be out of the mountains, so of course he had to make some arrangements for the 40 th Group Army.

Although the procession on the street caused some trouble for the chairman to go out, the convoy quickly reached the entrance of the White Mansion.

Tie Erdan and more than 20 members of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team had already arrived, and one by one, with excited faces, stood on both sides of the road like javelins, and saluted the chairman and the generals in unison.

As the agents of the Military Command Bureau opened the iron door of the White Mansion, these generals, including the chairman of the committee, were stunned by the scene in front of them.

I saw that the huge yard was full of wood shavings, and an aircraft carrier that was not much smaller than a small fishing boat, and had been basically completed, appeared in front of everyone, Jiang Haoran was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, holding a piece of wood in his left hand, and a big axe in his right hand, and he was sweating profusely, like a carpenter. Next to him was Chen Yihan, who was also wearing coarse cloth clothes, with a happy face on his face.

Seeing everyone enter the door, Jiang Haoran put down the axe, patted the sawdust on his body, strode forward to salute, with a smile on his face, and the shouts of his uncles and generals were natural, as if he was as affectionate as a guest in his own house, and it didn't make people feel that he was in prison at all.

The chairman of the committee looked at Jiang Haoran, with no expression on his face, and said coldly: "Can you toss?" ”

"Hehehe!" Jiang Haoran immediately laughed and said: "Uncle, don't say it, I really have the talent to be a carpenter, you see, this is the American 'Enterprise' aircraft carrier that I made from memory, you look at this flight deck, it's okay to drive a car up, you look at this artillery, the turret can be rotated??????" Jiang Haoran introduced his masterpiece as if no one was around, as if he was introducing a great handicraft, and he didn't pay any attention to the anxious expressions on everyone's faces, until Chen Chen interrupted him and said, "Do you know that now not only the 'Enterprise' aircraft carrier has been sunk by the Japanese army, but even the entire Southeast Asia has been occupied by the Japanese army?" ”

"Ah, the Japanese army occupied the whole of Southeast Asia so quickly?" Jiang Haoran looked dazed, it really didn't seem to know about this matter at all, although Dai Li blocked the news of the outside world to him, but there were some things that even if no one told him, he knew better than others, and at this moment he even knew the intention of the chairman, which was also the result of his deployment for so long, but the necessary pretense was still necessary.

"Hehe, even if the entire Pacific Ocean falls into the hands of the Japanese army, it has nothing to do with me, I have already discussed it with Yihan, and when this battle is over, I estimate that my uncle should let me out, so I will take Yihan to the beach to find a house to live in, build a big boat by myself, go to sea to fish during the day, and take my wife and son to watch the stars and moon at night, and walk on the beach, there will be no more days of licking blood from the knife edge."

When Jiang Haoran said this, he looked at Chen Yihan affectionately, and Chen Yihan was even more intoxicated and yearning, it really seemed that the two had discussed.

But these words made the chairman of the committee so angry that he only rolled his eyes, and he didn't plan to go out yet, so he said angrily: "Even if you have this idea now, you can't find a suitable beach, the Japanese army has occupied Burma, the Yunnan-Burma road has been completely cut off by the Japanese army, and soon we will fall into a situation of lack of strategic resources, and the Chinese nation has reached the time of life and death." ”

"It's only been a few months, and the war situation has deteriorated to this extent?" Jiang Haoran opened his mouth, as if he was a little incredulous.

Chen Chen immediately stepped forward and explained the current war situation in detail, and made it clear that the purpose of the chairman's visit this time was to make him the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force in order to reverse the current predicament in Burma, but he did not tell him that this was the meaning of the Americans, and at the same time, it was also the will of the people.

Of course, even if Chen Chen didn't say it, Jiang Haoran didn't know the truth, but at this moment, he was like seeing a ghost, his face was full of horror, his hands were waved, and he said, "Uncle uncle!" You just spare me, I am not the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force in any way, I have figured it out, these days, if I don't do it well, the more I do it, the more wrong it is, a commander-in-chief of the 40th Group Army will get me here, you give me another commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, and you must not let me lose my head? ”

"Humph!" The chairman snorted coldly, looked at Jiang Haoran with electric eyes, and said, "So are you blaming me for not knowing what to do?" ”

Jiang Haoran panicked: "Don't! Uncle, don't think so, I thank you It's too late, these three months can be said to be the key to my life, I really realized a lot of truth, what do you say about this life? Plenty of food and clothing, wife and children are enough to have a hot kang head! In the past, I was too showy, pinning my head to the waistband of my trousers, and the officer was the supreme general and led the soldiers to charge into battle, how stupid do you think I have to be? What am I trying to do? ”
