Lost and Spy

Chapter 3311 Complicated Relationships
"Charlie, Bill's three trucks were impounded in Spabanos."

After sitting down, Keston opened his mouth and said.

Meng Shaoyuan was startled.

Spabanios again?

But he didn't say anything, but continued to listen to Coston's words:
"These three vehicles are loaded with supplies including medicine. Bill's losses will be borne by himself, but the passes were issued by you. If you are implicated, please firmly deny that you have ever issued these passes. Bill knows that he What to say and what not to say.”

Bill is a businessman and met Meng Shaoyuan through Cawston.

Meng Shaoyuan immediately issued a pass for him.

Although the pass came from himself, what is certain is that Bill will take all the responsibility on him and will never implicate Meng Shaoyuan.

"Speaking of which, I also had two cars impounded."

"Oh, really? Is the loss big?"

"There are almost no losses so far." Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a moment and said: "When I was the director of the Japanese secret service in Manila, I seized a lot of things from the Japanese, including many precious cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, and then hid them , and now we are considering how to transport it to the Port of Manila."

He only said it was cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings.

And this sounded perfectly normal to Cawston's ears.

These cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings were also plundered by the Japanese.

Now, Charles had simply taken it from him.

How could Couston care about such a thing?

On the contrary, in his opinion, this was a sincere performance by Charles.

"Garrisoned at Spabanios is the Harold Battalion of the 19th Cavalry Regiment, personally commanded by Ephias Dillon." Cawston obviously understood clearly: "The 19th Cavalry Regiment captured the After Spabanios, he was ordered to garrison here.

Dillon served in the Hawaii Military District Intelligence Office in 1935 and transferred to the 1938th Cavalry Regiment at Fort Clark in 7. What does this remind you of? "

what?
Meng Shaoyuan looked confused.

Cawston smiled: "In 1935, Lieutenant Colonel George Smith Patton Jr. was the director of the Intelligence Division of the Hawaii Military Region. In 1938, Patton was transferred to the commander of the 7th Cavalry Regiment at Fort Clark and was promoted to colonel."

what?
Meng Shaoyuan understood: "Dilon is from Barton?"

Isn't it the American four-star general Patton who some people thought was a tactical genius, while others thought he was flashy and arrogant. At the end of the war, he was appointed as the military administrator of Bavaria, but was dismissed within a few days.

"Yes, and he is a close confidant." Cawston nodded and said: "In 1939, Patton was ordered to form an armored brigade and was promoted to brigadier general. He was also preparing to take Dillon with him.

However, due to need, Dillon was transferred to the 19th Cavalry Regiment as a major staff officer. Because of Patton's relationship, he was promoted step by step to colonel and commander of the 19th Cavalry Regiment. "

This kind of cavalry regiment in the US military only retains the name of cavalry.

In fact, they are already armored forces.

Moreover, the US armored forces were very popular in World War II and can be regarded as the trump card of the US military.

Cawston continued: "After the Battle of Leyte, MacArthur set out to attack Luzon. For this reason, the United States increased its troops massively, and the 19th Cavalry Regiment was deployed to MacArthur. To be honest, the performance of the 19th Cavalry Regiment in Luzon It was still very eye-catching, and they fought all the way to Spabanos. It was for this reason that MacArthur personally ordered the 19th Cavalry Regiment to be stationed at Spabanos and Dibilonis. Among them, Dillon was stationed at Spabanos. Pabanios.”

its not right.

How could an armored regiment be given orders personally by Commander-in-Chief MacArthur?
This is completely unreasonable.Meng Shaoyuan blinked: "Dillon and MacArthur have a conflict?"

It must be so.

Because the 19th Cavalry Regiment was fighting so smoothly, MacArthur personally ordered Dillon to stop advancing.

In this way, the subsequent credit will have nothing to do with Dillon.

Couston smiled: "Dillon has no conflict with MacArthur himself, but he is Patton's crony!"

So what?

Could it be that MacArthur and Patton had conflicts?
I haven't heard of it either.

During World War II, the troops commanded by MacArthur and Patton had no intersection.

One is on the battlefield in the Far East and the other is on the battlefield in Europe. They can't fight together.

"Ah, it's not your fault, Charles." Coston suddenly understood, and finally understood why Charles was so confused: "You have been in China all the time and don't understand some things in the United States.

You know General Pershing, right?He was once Patton's superior and admired Patton very much. When Pershing was considering forming a U.S. armored force, he immediately let Patton join the first tank force in the United States.Therefore, Patton has always regarded Pershing as his most respected boss.

Not only that, the personal relationship between the two is also very good.If not for World War I, Pershing would have married Patton's sister Nita. "

There is such a relationship?
Pershing is the only Army general in the United States.

This military rank was originally intended to be awarded to the founding father and first president of the United States, George Washington, but he initially refused to accept it.

Later, the U.S. Congress passed a statute elevating Washington to the rank of "Super General of the United States of America."

The rank of this unit is higher than that of any other American general, and it is stipulated that only Washington can enjoy this honor.

This is also the highest military rank currently in the U.S. military.

Followed by Pershing's "Admiral of the Army" and George Dewey's "Admiral of the Navy."

This shows Pershing's status in the US military.

Unexpectedly, Pershing, who was so much older than Barton, almost became Barton's brother-in-law.

Meng Shaoyuan was a very gossipy guy, and he listened with interest at this time: "Then? Did MacArthur have a conflict with Patton, or did he not deal with Pershing?"

"And Pershing." Sure enough, Couston said: "Let's put it this way, although MacArthur has many enemies, there is only one person who is truly a mortal enemy, and that is Pershing!"

"Wait a minute." Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but interjected and asked: "MacArthur and Pershing, the two have no contact in terms of military work, family contact, social activities, etc. How could they become bitter enemies?"

As an outstanding young military figure who emerged in the United States during World War I, MacArthur's own strength and family background were enough to support him in the American military field.

Where's Pershing?
His strength is much stronger than that of MacArthur. His strength can be seen from the fact that he is the only Army general in the US military. When MacArthur was still the chief of staff, he was already the commander-in-chief. .

Although this has something to do with the age gap between the two, it is enough to show Pershing's strength.

"Yes, it seems that the two of them have nothing to do with each other, but there is one thing that is difficult for most men to avoid." Couston smiled, and then said slowly: "Women!"
