Chapter 492: The Secret of Playing Cards


Yuhang's words resonated with Tom.

Tom said in frustration: "The staff officers of the Special Operations Command, including us, are dumbfounded.

Later, after understanding, it was learned that the first plane could not receive ground signals due to a malfunction of navigation equipment, so it had to rely on the map to speculate on the flight, and as a result, it flew into dense clouds, froze on board, and lost its boat.

On the way to the north of Stavanger, the tow rope suddenly broke.

The glider was forced to land and crash in the dark, but the former commando Zhong Ming crawled out of the wreckage, and later four were killed in the German field hospital, and the other four were executed by the Germans.

The second glider was forced to 6 "Ming when the towed bomber crashed into the hill, and all the survivors were killed in the crossfire of the arriving Germans. ” Subsequently, our army dispatched nearly 400 bombers at all costs, and at night under the cover of fighter planes to forcibly break through the interception of the Germans, carried out a large-scale bombing of the Vimok chemical plant, and even moved the town of Vimok to a flat ground, for which the Norwegians and we paid an extremely heavy price.

The losses of the bombardment are believed to have been known to General Chi of Song.

Tom shifted the slide and continued, "But Einnar's secret report from June 2 says that the Vimok Chemical Plant has miraculously resumed production of heavy water through repairs.

Almost as soon as the telegram was received.

London immediately sent the Royal Air Force to carry out air strikes, and the planes of our Eighth Air Force also immediately took off and bombed the power station of the factory, and everyone tried to blow it up.

But repeated heavy raids had little effect, and the price paid was high, at the expense of many bomber pilots and Norwegian civilians, and now an elite German unit had taken over the security of the place. ” Colonel Tom packed up his things and was about to leave after last night's briefing, when Song Yuhang suddenly asked very wickedly, "Mr.

Tom."

Do you have a colleague named Jerry?"

Colonel Tom looked at Song Yuhang in surprise and said with an incredulous attitude: "You know that my assistant Captain Jerry is a great young man, he seems to be able to do anything in swimming, basketball, volleyball, tennis, and mountaineering."

Tom, who suddenly realized that he was too talkative, hurriedly smiled apologetically, and left with the secretary with the slide projector, because Tom does not belong here, and this space is already very honorable for someone like Tom to come in and give a briefing, if it is the allies who decide the world, then this is undoubtedly the fulcrum that leverages the world.

Later, Song Yuhang finally understood why the cartoon Cat and Mouse decades later gave the names Tom and Jerry.

The reason is very simple, because the name is so popular in the United States, just like Xiao Ming in China.

After the talks, Song Yuhang returned to his residence with all the materials and documents left by Colonel Tang, and after ordering Ye "Li Feng, Dong Lang, and the commander of the main commando team of the Waiting Combat Brigade to select 80 elite commandos to go to the United States immediately.

Song Yuhang was alone in the room and began to try to formulate a perfect surprise attack plan, but Song Yuhang soon realized that the difficulties he seemed to face were very great, and the British had already been startling the snake again and again.

And the German troops on guard also turned into quasi-special forces in the strict sense of the word.

You must know that the German paratroopers who invaded Crete in history were regarded as the pioneers of special forces by later generations, and the training and tactical implementation of German paratroopers are close to the definition of special forces in later generations.

The German airborne campaign on Crete was the only Deng-6 campaign that was mainly conducted in the form of airborne operations so far, and it changed the traditional Deng-6 combat mode.

The battlefield moved from a flat to a three-dimensional one, which had a profound impact on the subsequent Deng 6 operation, and such an opponent coupled with the strict defense of the Vimok Chemical Plant, even Song Yuhang felt very tricky.

Since there was about one regiment of German mechanized troops near the Vimok Chemical Plant, if there was a battle on the part of the Vimok Chemical Plant, the German mechanized troops would only need to drive a few minutes to arrive.

This meant that their commandos had to complete their combat mission within minutes, and they also had to slack off German reinforcements, and the combat detachment had to cross hundreds of kilometers of mountainous terrain to Switzerland and then to England after breaking away from the enemy, which was an extremely dangerous process.

Song Yuhang planned to first establish ground navigation 6o kilometers northwest of the Norwegian Vimok chemical plant, and then guide the paratroopers to parachute.

Subsequently, the detachment was sent to lay a large number of mines on the road of German mechanized reinforcement to achieve the role of the German army, and the Allies had to launch a large-scale air attack after the assault was completed to cooperate with the retreat of the assault detachment.

Song Yuhang also planned to immediately ask the British to choose a suitable place similar to the Vimok Chemical Plant, and then quickly build a Vemok Chemical Plant for the special assault detachment to carry out scraping exercises.

However, before Ye Chuan and the others arrived, Song Yuhang knew that all this was just talk on paper, and the plan was not half done, Song Yuhang received a call from Song Ziwen, Song Ziwen invited Song Yuhang to come over, Song Yuhang suddenly remembered that today was a rest day this time.

But compared to it.

Kong Xiangxi's financial ability is far inferior to Song Ziwen, and with the virtuous assistant Song Leiling and the second lady Kong Lingjun behind him, the Chinese economy, which is already facing the final collapse, has become crumbling again.

But it is very easy for one or two people to destroy a country's fragile economy, and the power of example is unlimited.

Not to mention a bad example.

Song Yuhang knows that Chiang Kai-shek's principle of employing people is that it doesn't matter if you are a talent or not, as long as you are a loyal talent, even if you are a mediocre talent, it doesn't matter.

But when Song Yuhang himself reached the position of the supreme commander of the expeditionary force and wholeheartedly built the team of the Song family army for himself, Song Yuhang himself also encountered such a contradiction Today, when he came to Song Ziwen's residence in the United States to play bridge, Song Yuhang, who didn't know how to play, was also invited by Song Ziwen, and he bluntly said that he had a light meal.

When Song Yuhang arrived, it turned out that Hu Shi, the Chinese ambassador to the United States, Jones, the director of the Federal Loan Bureau, and the US Secretary of State Cochrane were all there, and it was obvious that the four of them were in a situation, and Song Yuhang was invited to be a bystander, but Song Yuhang had already taken measures for this, and he came with Shen Jieyi.

Song Ziwen's wife Zhang Leyi can be said to be busy entertaining these two little lovers like a cowherd and a weaver girl Zhang Leyi knew very well that Shen Jieyi's decision to come to the United States was completely made by the Shen family, after all, it was too dangerous to follow Song Yuhang, and Song Yuhang at that time could be described as a murderous man, and it would hardly take long for the news to report how many Japanese prisoners the Chinese Expeditionary Force had executed, or how many enemies had been annihilated.

The Shen family is a scholarly family for generations.

Although they have been doing business for more than 200 years in modern times, the Shen family has always regarded themselves as scholars, and having a butcher's son-in-law is really a bit difficult for the people of the Shen family to accept, so the Shen family tried to trick Shen Jieyi into coming to the United States, wanting to dilute the relationship between the two in the way of time.

But the most unexpected thing for the Shen family was that Song Yuhang actually used ten fighter jets to escort and sent Shen Jieyi to the United States in a high-profile manner, and a lieutenant colonel named Mengzi led a platoon of armed soldiers to follow and protect, even Shen Jieyi's parents had to report it, and the Shen family was very helpless about this, almost to the point of daring to be angry and not daring to speak, the Shen family has been in the United States for several generations.

The ability to tolerate the presence of foreign forces in their own country in a heavily armed form speaks volumes about the energy of Song Yuhang, his people in the United States.

Shen Jieyi arrived in the United States not long ago.

Roosevelt invited him to the White House dinner, and then the Shen family was extremely shocked, it turned out that the influence of Song Yuhang in the United States was no lower than that of the Shen family.

Today, Song Yuhang came with the unification of the wife-to-be, and also made Hu Shi, Jones and others look forward to it for a long time, the great killing god in the battlefields of western Yunnan, Burma, India, and the Pacific in China, so that many Americans are very curious, Americans admire heroes, they don't care how heroes are born, all they care about is the heroes and their people are bloody rivers anyway, it is also the damned Japanese, since the Pearl Harbor incident in the peak year, public opinion in the United States has been guiding the people, to eliminate the despicable and shameless island country in the East as its own responsibility, The slogan of killing little Japan was shouted even by the then vice president and current president Harry S.

Truman.

Jones shook Song Yuhang's hand and said very exaggerated in fluent Chinese: "My general, my hero, how can you imagine that you, a gentleman like Sven, have successfully helped the Japanese reduce the population by one million, what a great contribution to the world?"

Cochran then smiled and shook hands with Song Yuhang, who said in fluent English: "Dear Mr.

Secretary of State, if you can tell Director Jones to give us more assistance, I can multiply this number by ten, and even in the future European battlefield, we can play a vital role." ” Cochran was slightly stunned.

He glanced at Song Ziwen and said, "Song, is this true?"

Song Ziwen smiled and said before the table: "He is a soldier, and I am a diplomat, you say that one is more credible" Cochran laughed and pointed at Song Ziwen but looked at Jones and said: "Most people who have done diplomacy are very dishonest, and lies have become a part of their lives, such as Sim Manor, ah the year's wine, right Mr.

Jones" Jones glanced at Cochran very helplessly and said, "Aren't you okay if you win, in front of the beautiful ladies and ladies today."

I'll let you get your way."

Cochran and Song Ziwen looked at each other and smiled: "Not only under the poker table, today I will kill you to lose your armor." ” Eye.

Song Yuhang could feel it. said that they were spending the weekend together, but in fact, several people had their own purposes, and only Zhang Leyi, the host, seemed to want to make today's guests happy.

Hu Shi shuffled the cards and said: "When I was in college, I specialized in bridge, but it was far worse than you experts.

As the saying goes, the slightest mistake is thousands of miles. ” "You're too polite," Cochran smiled at Hu Shi.

"Why is there fifty-two chapters of playing cards, and there is a king" Wang, what is the reason for this" Zhang Leyi looked at Cochran with a charming expression, she thought that Cochran, who was well-informed and almost omniscient, must know.

Cochran was circling Truman all day long, and important work was one after another, and the president had important things to do almost at any time, or he had important news to report directly to the president, and he rarely had time to read.

There is also a lack of time to study the number of cards as a pastime.

So, Cochran stretched out his hand to Hu Shi and said, "Your Excellency knows better than me, I only like to play bridge, but I haven't studied why there are fifty-two chapters of playing cards. ” Hu Shi smiled slightly, turned his head and said to Song Yuhang: "Anyi, Commander Song, when I came here today, I heard that you also have a certain study of bridge, how about you answer this question?"

Song Yuhang glanced at Song Ziwen depressedly, he really didn't know how to bridge, but he still had some understanding of the historical origin of playing cards.

Seeing that Cochran and Jones were looking at him, while Song Ziwen was pretending to be looking for matches, Song Ziwen was not a smoker, unless the work pressure was too great, it was obvious that Song Ziwen's shield was really insincere.

Song Yuhang knew that Hu Shi was going to show off his profound knowledge, if he had been in the past, he would definitely smile and shake his head to show that he didn't know.

But today Shen Jieyi was present, and Song Yuhang was going to rush forward even if he stiffened his head.

Song Yuhang cleared his throat and said with a slight smile: "Poker is designed according to the calendar, in a sense, it can be said that poker is the epitome of the calendar." ” "Playing cards are the epitome of the calendar, is there any connection between the two," Shen Jieyi was like one on the side.

Curious baby asked.

Zhang Leyi also interjected on the side: "A kind of entertainment product can be related to the calendar" "You listen to An Yi go on" When Song Ziwen was studying economics at Harvard University, he also played poker with American classmates, and he knew a little bit about the origin of poker.

Song Yuhang had no choice but to continue to explain: "Fifty-two cards are genuine, they represent the fifty-two weeks of the year, there are four seasons in a year, and the four colors of spades, hearts, grass flowers, and squares are used, and the red hearts and squares represent the day, and the black spades and grass flowers represent the night." ” As soon as Song Yuhang's words came out, including Song Ziwen, Hu Shi, Cochran, Jones, Zhang Leyi and others, they were all surprised, and Shen Jieyi's eyes on the side were full of little stars.

And Zhang Leyi seemed to be interested, and continued: "Why is the number thirteen in the West the most taboo in the West, why not change it to ten, how good it is to be perfect, or eleven or fourteen cards."

Song Yuhang paused and glanced at Hu Shi, who was almost robbed of the limelight, and hurriedly took over the topic and explained: "It is true that thirteen is a taboo number in the West, but each suit of playing cards represents a quarter.

There are thirteen weeks in a quarter, so the playing cards only hum thirteen cards, one more is not enough, and one less is not good. ” Hu Shi took a sip of tea and continued: "These thirteen chapters are still exquisite, to add up to ninety-one days, which is exactly the number of days in a quarter, and the king who represents the sun and the king who represents the moon are a little more cost-effective together, which is just in line with the strong days of the year." ” Zhang Leyi shook his head and continued: "Then why does every card have three people, and what does this mean?"

Hu Shi looked at Song Ziwen helplessly and smiled slightly and continued to explain: "The number of heads of the four colors adds up to exactly twelve figures, which represents the twelve months of the year, and also represents the twelve constellations that the sun passes through in a year. ” Cochran also became interested in the history of poker, so he asked: "Then may I ask Ambassador Hu, what do the four suits of poker represent?"

Hu Shi smiled and said: "These four patterns originally came from the ancient divination technique, spades come from olive leaves, symbolizing peace and tranquility, red hearts come from people's hearts, symbolizing wisdom and love, grass flowers are the prototype of clover, a leaf has three petals, according to European customs, who wants to show a four-petal clover, then who will go lucky, so grass flowers represent happiness, squares represent expensive gems, so squares represent wealth":
