The Zheng Chenggong slowly docked at the pier. The military band that had been waiting nearby played cheerful music, and the cheers of the people on the Bund soared into the sky.
Such a grand scene surprised Zhou Zhen and Chen Shaokuan, who had long been prepared to be demoted or even dismissed.
"Mr. Chen, where is this going on down there?" Looking at the cheering crowd and the sound of the band playing below, Zhou Zhen, who was unprepared, was shocked.
Chen Shaokuan on the side laughed, "Isn't this easy to guess? It must be the president's idea, and only he dares to create such a big scene so blatantly."
The two of them took the lead and slowly got off the gangway. At first sight, they saw the president and Bai Chongxi who were standing on the pier talking to an old foreign man. The two people quickly walked over and saluted: "I am a humble commander of the Chinese Navy, Chen Shaokuan.
Marine Brigade Commander Zhou Zhen was ordered to return to China and ask the President for instructions."
"Well." Su Tong carefully looked at Chen Shaokuan and Zhou Zhen, who were tanned and thin, and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, with such momentum, I have made a lot of progress after a trip to France. Give us Huaxia
The soldier has a long face."
"President" Zhou Zhen choked up. Seeing this scene, he didn't know that Su Tong was here specifically to support him today.
"Okay, Brigadier Zhou, what are you doing standing still? Why don't you hurry up and assemble the team? The president is going to review them." Bai Chongxi on the side saw Zhou Zhen dumbfounded and didn't speak, and quickly reminded him with a smile.
"Yes." Zhou Zhen was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He was so happy that he hurried back. The Marine Brigade was going to tremble if he could be personally reviewed by the president.
Looking at Zhou Zhen running away, Su Tong shook his head and said apologetically to the blond old man next to him: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bu Fangji, I made you laugh."
The old man smiled and said: "Mr. President, General Zhou is an excellent soldier. When I return to the United States, I must write down what I saw today."
"Thank you, Mr. Bu Fangji, your contribution to the Chinese people will be engraved in our hearts forever." Su Tong said very politely.
Seeing such a cordial conversation between Su Tong and the old man, Chen Shaokuan couldn't help but feel a little strange. After asking Bai Chongxi next to him, he found out that the origin of this old man was not simple. Bu Fangji's English name was Francis Lister Hawkes Bo.
Te, an American Episcopal missionary, educator, and the first president of St. John's University in Shanghai.
When the old man came up to talk to Su Tong just now, Su Tong, a high school graduate in later generations, didn't know who this old man was. After the exchange, our Chief Su was shocked. This old man is a great person in terms of feelings. In the twentieth century
Many famous figures in China came from this old man's disciples, such as Shi Zhaoji, Gu Weijun, Song Ziwen, Yu Hongjun, Yu Dawei, Rong Yiren and other famous celebrities are all students of this old man. But Su Tong feels regretful that this old man will retire next year.
I'm back in the United States, otherwise I can use my spare energy.
While he was talking, more than 6,000 soldiers from the Marine Brigade had already disembarked, lined up, and were waiting for Su Tong's review. When Bai Chongxi accompanied Su Tong to the neatly arranged three square formations, there were waves of earth-shattering sounds coming from the square formations.
's cry.
"Hello brothers"
"Hello, sir"
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers"
"Serve the People"
The earth-shattering shouts made the entire Bund reverberate with the voices of the Marine Brigade soldiers. Their strict military appearance and stern murderous intent made the gentlemen and ladies from all over the world on the Bund suddenly change their colors. What a mighty army. And the crowds on the Bund were crowded.
The common people clapped their hands desperately and cheered, "Okay, this looks like a men's team." "Man, that's great." Some rich ladies who secretly came to watch the fun also stared at those mighty soldiers with their beautiful eyes.
It exudes the tenderness of a young girl's Huaichun.
After reviewing the troops, the fleet began the unloading process. Watching the boxes of packed cultural relics and antiques being transported off the ship by mechanical cranes, all the onlookers let out a tut-tut-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-eye.
"Hey, what a treasure this is. Look at that bronze statue. Why don't those foreigners wear any clothes?"
Gosmer looked at the boxes of treasures being moved off the ship and the exclamations of those colleagues around him, and his heart ached like blood. These things were treasures that France had accumulated for centuries.
"Oh Maiga, isn't that the statue of French Emperor Napoleon? Why has it been moved back?" An exclamation voice sounded next to Gosmo. After looking at it intently, he almost lost his breath and almost fainted.
In the past, a mechanical crane not far away transported a bronze statue from the ship. It was a bronze statue cast by the French in recognition of Napoleon's achievements. It was originally placed at the entrance of the Louvre, and is now also there.
Those damn Chinese Marine Brigades were packed up and shipped back.
"Look, isn't that a mural of the Virgin Mary? I've seen it before when I visited the Louvre. Why did they even bring this?"
Gosmer, who was already extremely nervous, took another look. Isn't this a mural carved in the Louvre? These damn bandits, they, they even tore down the wall and brought it back. Poor Ambassador Gosmer
I couldn't bear such a blow anymore, I just felt a sweet liquid in my throat spurted out from my mouth, and then my vision went black, and I heard someone calling "Mr. Gosmer, Mr. Gosmer" in my ears.
I don't know anything anymore.
"Mr. Gosmer"
"It's not good, Mr. Gosmer vomited blood and fainted." There was a lot of excitement on the Bund.
Just as Su Tong was playing a role as a porter unloading goods on the Bund in Shanghai, Germany also started their long-planned "Sea Lion Project." On July 10, a British fleet was about to quietly pass through the Strait of Dover, but was intercepted by Germany.
The reconnaissance plane discovered it. So, a fighter plane composed of seventy reconnaissance planes was divided into three echelons and rushed towards the British fleet with murderous intent.
However, with the help of advanced ground radar, the British army quickly discovered the German formation group and sent six "Tornado" fighter jets to quietly approach the enemy group under the cover of clouds. Perhaps the Germans were too confident and they simply did not
Noticed the arrival of British aircraft. The German aircraft were deployed in three layers. The bottom was the DO17 bomber group that was responsible for combat missions, the middle was the me110 fighter group that was responsible for close support missions, and the top was the me109 fighter group. Facing the enemy, we
In the situation of being outnumbered, the cunning British army did not fight hard. They left four fighter planes to continue hiding in the clouds, and only sent two fighter planes to lure the Germans. Sure enough, the Germans were fooled. When the German fighter formations roared past, there were a large number of them.
The bombers were left behind the formation, when the British aircraft suddenly swooped down from the clouds.
The complacent German fighter planes seemed to be admiring the beautiful scenery along the way, and did not notice the British aircraft ambushing in the clouds. In panic, they had to rush to fight. Compared with the bulky bombers, the "Tornado" fighter jets were simply theirs.
Nightmare, after a short burst of fire, six DO17 bombers headed towards the ground with thick black smoke.
The news of the defeat in the first battle caused Göring, who had just been promoted to Air Marshal, to lose face. He could not accept that the Luftwaffe, which was far superior to the British Air Force in terms of quantity and quality of combat aircraft, could suffer such a defeat.
In order to save face, Goering gathered three air force groups, and more than 2,400 combat aircraft launched a brutal blockade and bombing of Britain. Thus, the Battle of Britain took place over the rough English Channel, in this part of the British Empire.
Beginning in the ancient land.
The door of "Tuk Tuk Tuk" Churchill's room at No. 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's official residence in London, was knocked open, and Lieutenant General Dowding, commander of the British Air Force, walked in.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, today the Germans used a new type of heavy bomber to launch indiscriminate bombing against us. Our losses were very heavy. After our technical analysis, this bomber was used by the Chinese to bomb Tokyo, Japan.
B17 heavy bomber." Dowding's face was as pale as a bitter gourd.
"What, B17 heavy bomber?" Churchill's face was very ugly. He knew that the only countries in the world that have this heavy bomber are China and the United States. It is naturally impossible for the Germans to get this aircraft from the Americans. So what about these aircraft?
You can guess its origin with your butt.
"These bastards, how could they sell this aircraft to the Nazis? How dare they sell this aircraft to the Nazis?" Churchill's roar rang in the office.
Churchill understood that if this heavy bomber with an eight-ton bomb load was allowed to wreak havoc in the British Empire, it would not be long before the country that the British Empire spent hundreds of years building would be reduced to ruins.
"Immediately send Spitfires to intercept them. I must not let these damn devils drop bombs on the ground of the Sunless Empire."
Following Churchill's order, batches of the latest Spitfire fighter jets took off and rushed towards the incoming German aircraft. The air battle over the English Channel became more intense and cruel.
At this time, the radar stations deployed by the British on various islands in the strait played an important role. The British relied on the less than half an hour's warning time to calmly deploy troops with fewer attacks and more, and firmly blocked the German Air Force.
of the English Channel.
The defeat in the air battle made Hitler very angry, "Radar, damn radar again, who of you has any way to deal with the British radar." Hitler's angry roar resounded in the war room.
"Dear Head of State, maybe our friends the Chinese will have a way to deal with the British radar." A trembling voice sounded in the office.
