Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 587 He Songling officially joins the war

The last night of the Gengchen Year passed, and the Xinsi Snake Year 1941 arrived with unstoppable steps.

Many things happened in this year, which was an important node in the history of World War II. Husky continued to advance eastward in the European battlefield and officially began to fight against Dalinzi. At the same time, a capable general under Husky was appointed as the commander of North Africa, which marked the beginning of his title of "Desert Fox".

In the Far East, the Japanese devils could not withstand the pressure of fighting on multiple fronts and signed an armistice agreement with Dalinzi. At the same time, they launched a large-scale "mopping up" operation in the Lao Zhong area, and Lao Zhong also launched a "counter-mopping up" operation.

The Japanese invaded Lao Zhong for the fifth year. Although they still looked powerful and aggressive, some people had seen through their internal corruption and saw the dawn of victory. In September, Lao Zhong's army conquered Fuzhou for the first time.

In December, the Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor, launching the Pacific War, and the United States declared war on it. Two days later, Baldy dared to follow his big brother and officially declared war on Japan in the fifth year of the all-out war of resistance.

In contrast, the alien world is peaceful.

In this brutal war, bombers, tanks, and artillery took turns to go into battle. The Yiren, a sports group that was skilled in martial arts, finally realized the horror of modern thermal weapons and began to behave themselves. As a result, conflicts and vendettas in the martial arts world decreased a lot.

The Japanese invaders were rampant. Under the leadership of Taiqing Palace, Sanyi Sect, Longhushan and other sects, many righteous sects who had a passion to serve the country or felt the danger of losing their teeth and lips formally enlisted in the army and joined the war. Even in Quanxing, many people were also doing anti-Japanese activities.

Maybe their participation is just a drop in the bucket, maybe the battlefield is brutal and there are heavy casualties, but everyone is determined to do it.

Especially the Tang Sect.

After almost wiping out the Japanese alien forces and the Biheshan Ninja in the two battles at Mianshan and Toutian Cave, they once again moved to the battlefield behind enemy lines to assassinate their top leaders.

The confidence of ten people mastering Dan Shi made the Tang Sect extremely outstanding in this war. The number of Japanese officers and high-ranking officials of the puppet government killed was almost comparable to several armies on the front battlefield.

But correspondingly, there were also heavy casualties. Among the ten people who mastered the Danxi, Tang Jian died, Tang Gao died, and You Shou died. The ordinary disciples who did not master the Danxi suffered even more casualties. Therefore, the Tang Sect was forced to slow down its fierce style of behavior and temporarily entered a period of recuperation.

But even so, the Tang Clan had already created a reputation that frightened the enemy not only in the alien circle, but also in the entire battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War. At this time, people finally remembered the glory of the Tang Clan again and no longer regarded it as a vassal of "He Songling's wife's family".

As for He Songling? He Songling finally officially joined the war.

On August 1941, 8, at the promotion and invitation of He Songling, Baldy approved the formation of Lao Zhong's own air force "Flying Tigers" and appointed American Claire Lee Chennault as the commander of the brigade.

But Baldy's personality is like this. He believes that outsiders cannot be trusted after all, and he has to let his own people supervise the work. Who is his own people? His wife.

He Songling would certainly not allow this to happen. Everyone later knew what kind of person the bald man's wife was. Most of the money used to lobby Roosevelt, purchase advanced American aircraft, and support Lao Zhong's air force construction was directly or indirectly contributed by He Songling. He did not want his efforts to be wasted.

So he formally told Baldy for the first time that he wanted to join the Air Force, which made Baldy so excited that he couldn't sleep for two days.

The bald man had long been planning to find a way to bring He Songling, the world's richest man and a man of great influence in the political and business circles around the world, under his command and to contribute to his "grand plan".

However, He Songling relied on his good relations with foreign countries and never paid attention to Baldy's recruitment. Not only that, he was even very close to our army. This made him very annoyed, but he had no way to deal with He Songling.

This time, seeing that He Songling finally "turned from darkness to light", Baldy was overjoyed and wanted to hold a huge press conference to announce to the world that He Songling had become my subordinate.

According to the bald man's idea, if he takes office today, he will immediately be appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force and Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Guo Army. In a few days, he will be awarded the rank of first-class general, and will be the Deputy Minister of National Defense and the spokesperson for the Republic of China. He will be at the same level as Lao He and Lao Bai, and will be one of the highest level people.

This not only demonstrated his "favor" to He Songling, but also announced to the whole world, especially our army, that He Songling had become a high-ranking official under the bald man and had severed his relationship with them. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

But He Songling just said two words: I won’t do it.

The bald man swore that he never knew his eyes could get so big.

You don't want the positions of Air Force General, Air Force Commander-in-Chief, and Deputy Minister of Defense? Is there anyone in this world who doesn't want to get promoted and make money?
Oh, yes, this guy already has "wealth", so does he not even want an "official position"? This shouldn't be the case. Being an official is the only way to make more money. Look at the four major families of Chiang, Song, Kong, and Chen. Which one of them didn't do this?
"We were all brainwashed by those red bandits!" That night, the bald man angrily punched the cabinet in front of his wife.

However, it’s still the same old story. No matter what He Songling wants to do, Baldy can’t stop or control it. If he insists on controlling He Songling, it’s hard to say whether he can do so. His American big brother may not necessarily care about him.

In the end, He Songling could only be given a nominal position as the Flying Tigers' chief instructor and was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel.

The bald man was about to get angry on the spot. Dai Yunong was a lieutenant general. You usually ordered him around like a grandson. How can you be a lieutenant colonel? It's fine that you weren't in Guo's army before, but now you are in. A lieutenant colonel is commanding a lieutenant general. How can you let Dai put his face?

But what He Songling said was also very convincing. Chennault, the captain and commander, was only a colonel, the same rank as Chu Yunfei. I was a chief instructor, above the captain, deputy captain, and chief of staff, and was at most the fourth person in the ranking. Why was my rank higher than that of the captain?
I just need to hold the rank of a battalion-level officer.

So in the end, the bald man could only hold his nose and watch He Songling become a lieutenant colonel battalion-level officer with the same rank as Qian Bojun, the battalion commander under Chu Yunfei, and just hold a position in the Flying Tigers.

He did two things in the Flying Tigers. First, he made sure the pilots' pay and food standards were on par with those of the U.S. military. Second, he made sure the fighter planes he got were powerful enough and had enough replacement and repair kits.

He Songling always adhered to the principle that professionals should do professional things. He could make money and he only took care of logistics.
