Chapter 3238 Escort
"Could it be that the Chinese want to dredge the Suez Canal? It seems that this is the only reason that makes sense," Churchill, who had a big brain, turned his thoughts quickly. Immediately, he denied himself and said, "Impossible. Don't say it's across the road." Thousands of kilometers, it is impossible for the Chinese to transport large machinery. Even if the Chinese have the strength, it will take at least two months to dredge the Suez Canal. Two months—could it be said that the Chinese are sure to make the "wife revolution" of the United States 'Last for more than two months? No, the Chinese must not be allowed to do so."

Churchill was very decisive in his work. When he gave an order, the transportation companies in Europe were in trouble.While Bai Liusu continued to gather troops and hoard supplies in Cairo, the British scuttled more than [-] merchant ships and oil tankers at the mouth of the Suez Canal and the Red Sea.

One step behind, one step behind.

Churchill miscalculated the purpose of China's military base in Cairo, so when China's aircraft carrier fleet of the Wudao Tianwang began to show its minions, because there was no mental preparation at all, Britain was stunned from top to bottom.

Different from Bai Liusu's style of pursuing efficiency and inevitably taking risks, Chen Shichang likes to make decisions before taking action no matter what he does, and will formulate a comprehensive plan before taking action to ensure that everything is sure.

According to the meaning of the Supreme Command (in fact, it was Ouyang Yun's idea), the air strike against Britain should have started as early as when Bai Liusu arrived in Cairo.However, after research, Chen Shichang denied this plan.Speaking of it, the British are also unlucky. Counting the air strike that the Wudao Tianwang aircraft carrier fleet will launch, this is the second time that the British Island has encountered a large-scale air strike for a long time.As far as Chen Shichang and his team are concerned, because of the Germans, the mother of failure, when formulating combat plans, they can avoid making some mistakes that the Germans have made, thereby ensuring bombing efficiency.

Exactly the same as that time and space, in this time and space, the air strikes by German fighter planes also returned without success.And if it weren't for the success of learning from the Xuebing Army, the German missile bombing would also end in failure.

While waiting for the supplies, the officers and soldiers of the Wudao Tianwang aircraft carrier fleet were not idle.The low-level officers led the soldiers to conduct various tactical drills; the middle and high-level officers, under the leadership of Chief of Staff Bian Jingdao, conducted tactical analysis, deduction, and the improvement of combat plans.As for Chen Shichang, his task is relatively onerous, that is, he needs to eat and drink with officials and military officers from Italy, Germany, and France.

Chen Shichang is actually not a person who is good at socializing. According to his original idea, he is going to arrange a few mid-level military officers to be responsible for receiving these foreign guests.However, Ouyang Yun personally sent him a power generation, and upgraded the reception task to a level that was related to the country's future European policy. In the face of righteousness, he could not allow him to push back.

It was Song Ziwen who first realized that this was an opportunity to present China's new image to Europe in an all-round way.Song Ziwen had the experience of studying in the United States, and later interacted with diplomats from many Western countries, so he knows exactly what China looks like in the eyes of Westerners.As foreign minister, it is his job to change the country's image.Hearing from Ouyang Yun that Marshal Giovanni, who is actually in power in Italy, intends to purchase the standard weapons of the Xuebing Army, he immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity to change China's image.And if the operation is done well, it may be possible to establish China's influence in Europe.He immediately made a suggestion to Ouyang Yun, and asked the latter to personally generate electricity for Chen Shichang, so that Chen Shichang could pay enough attention to this matter.

Hearing that it could improve the country's image and establish China's influence in Europe, Ouyang Yun was naturally happy to see the result, so he sent a telegram to Chen Shichang asking him to provide "escort" service to European guests according to Song Ziwen's suggestion.

Ouyang Yun wrote this telegram easily, but to Chen Shichang, it was the beginning of a disaster.

When it comes to Chen Shichang's disaster, one has to mention the logistical support capabilities of the Chinese army and the food issues of the frontline troops.Emphasis on logistical support and full consideration of the eating experience of front-line officers and soldiers. In that time and space, it was the Americans who really achieved the ultimate in this regard.Americans are rich and powerful, and they talk about democracy all the time.In this time and space, originating from the Army of Soldiers, the Chinese government pays more attention to the problem of food for the army than the Americans.Take the food of the current Wudao Tianwang aircraft carrier fleet as an example.In the entire fleet, during non-combat times, including those on duty, the regular meals would guarantee two dishes, one soup, plus a glass of milk and a piece of fruit.And, definitely do it now.And even in wartime, the level of regular meals will guarantee that one dish, one soup and one fruit will be added.Although this dish, soup, and fruit are sometimes canned products, the canned food from the Chinese army is comparable to the so-called main course of foreigners even if it is taken to a formal banquet abroad.This level of diet is actually far in the leading position in the world.

The bad thing is this too refined diet.

It’s not like later generations, no, even in later generations, Chinese restaurants are spread all over the world, and it’s not easy for foreigners to eat real Chinese food.It is conceivable that in this era of time and space, when Chinese cuisine is still limited to China or some foreign Chinese families, for those who have been dealing with half-cooked food for many years, the taste buds only remember single tastes such as sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. As far as people are concerned, what kind of temptation will Chinese food have for them.

Giovanni came to visit in person, and out of courtesy, Chen Shichang treated him to a big meal.

The big meal for the army who is fighting abroad is equivalent to the level of entertaining distinguished guests in some ordinary families in China.Four main courses, braised pork, sweet and sour fish, sizzling mandarin fish and sea cucumber with scallions.The four cold dishes are a canned yellow peach, a cold-cut beef in sauce, a sour bamboo shoot and a dried shredded.Cavani remained reserved when the cold cuts arrived.Being No.1 in Italy today, Cavani's diet is naturally impossible to be too low.Compared with foreigners who pay attention to styling, chefs in the army are obviously not willing to spend time on grooming.The lack of skill in arranging the dishes directly affects the appetite of the guests.Therefore, except for one of the major generals named Tony, because the sauced beef was placed right in front of him, making it difficult for him to eat a piece of it, everyone else seemed very gentleman.

"General Giovanni, you are welcome to be guests on the Wudao Tianwang aircraft carrier. For the sake of Sino-Italian friendship, let's drink this cup together!" Picking up the wine glass, Chen Shichang made a toast to the Italian guests, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Falkenhausen sat under Giovanni's hand as an accompanying guest.When the chef started serving cold dishes, he introduced the custom of valet in China to Giovanni in German.Now, he translated Chen Shichang's words into German and raised his glass first.
