587 Arrival at the port
Ye Qingshan listened to Stilwell talking incessantly without interrupting and just listened quietly.
He knew that Stilwell's reminder was well-intentioned.
At the same time, through Stilwell's narration, Ye Qingshan also roughly understood that at this time the strength of the US Pacific Fleet had almost recovered.
The battle with the Japanese naval fleet has already begun in the Western Pacific.
“So, Stilwell.
Do you have any suggestions on the route I should take this time?"
Ye Qingshan asked this after listening to Stilwell's warning for a while.
"How did you know I would give you advice?"
“Of course, we are now both friends and allies.
It would be no good to you if I were gone.
You must hope I'm okay.
With your personality, how could you not give me some advice? "
Ye Qingshan looked as if he knew me very well.
"Fuck, I don't like dealing with smart people like you."
Stilwell cursed.
But two lines were still drawn on the map, one crossing the Indian Ocean, around the Cape of Good Hope, and going along the Atlantic Ocean to the east coast of the United States.
The other route is to go south around Australia, then north across the Pacific Ocean and reach the west coast of the United States.
“Just these two routes.
The first option is to take the Atlantic route, which is longer but relatively safer.”
Stilwell spoke up.
“Is it safe to take the Atlantic Ocean?
Didn't you just say that the German submarines were attacking our Allied ships everywhere?"
Stilwell continued angrily: "Nonsense, the Atlantic Ocean is so vast, and there are only a few German submarines.
How could they possibly take care of them all?
Now, the German submarines mainly block the shipping lanes around the British Isles.
Most of the Atlantic Ocean is still safe.”
"That's it.
Go on. "
Ye Qingshan smiled and let Stilwell continue.
"Compared to the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean is more threatening.
However, you should be fine if you go through the Eastern Pacific.
At present, the confrontation between our Pacific Fleet and the Japanese Navy is only in the Western Pacific.
In short, take a look and decide which route you think is suitable.
Choose for yourself.
Anyway, be careful on the road and don't die.
When you come back, I should be able to deal with the devils from Burma.
If you are willing to come back at that time, I can let you be my deputy.
Command our allied forces to sweep across Southeast Asia and defeat all Japanese troops."
Since the last time, Ye Qingshan did not hesitate to mobilize his ace paratrooper company to rescue Stilwell from the Japanese pursuit.
The relationship between the two became much closer.
Ye Qingshan believed that Stilwell was speaking the truth at this time.
"Haha, Stilwell, don't worry.
I came back naturally to defeat the Japs.
But I won’t be your deputy.”
"Shit, I take that back."
Half a day later, Ye Qingshan boarded the plane again and prepared to fly to Jeddah Port.
“Ye, I have already notified the garrison over there.
When you arrive at the airport, someone will pick you up."
Stilwell came personally to see Ye Qingshan off and said to Ye Qingshan.
"They can't be the British. I'm worried they might murder me."
Ye Qingshan smiled and joked.
“Now I know I’m scared.
You really offended the British.
Alexander was complaining to me just two days ago.
You took away half of their Yenangyaung oil field's oil production, and Alexander must be heartbroken."
Ye Qingshan didn't say anything, but just muttered in his heart: This is bullshit.
If the British knew, I not only sold the Germans new steel technology, but also leaked their "generator plan".
I guess the British must be so pissed off that they want to eat me alive.
When Stilwell saw Ye Qingshan didn't say anything, he thought Ye Qingshan was really scared.
He quickly added: “Don’t worry, even if the British hate you.
At this time, they didn't dare to act recklessly.
Alexander just complained, but if he dared to do anything wrong, I would not forgive him.
Besides, I have arranged my own people at Jeddah Airport.
The port there is currently taken over by a regiment of our US military.
Moreover, there are people from your fleet with you.
you do not need to worry. "
"Thanks, Smith."
This time, Ye Qingshan did not salute, but hugged Stilwell.
Anyway, Ye Qingshan was wearing casual clothes this time.
Then, Ye Qingshan took Alice's hand and boarded the plane.
Two hours later, Ye Qingshan's plane arrived at the airport in Jeddah Port.
As expected, the airport had already been under martial law, and a team of American soldiers with live ammunition were guarding the ground.
The plane landed smoothly and Ye Qingshan and Alice got off the plane.
Several officers came towards us, all wearing American military uniforms.
However, when these people came closer, Ye Qingshan could see clearly that except for the one in the front who had a typical white appearance.
The other people all had the familiar yellow skin.
"Sir, my name is Nick.
Under orders from General Smith, I am responsible for your protection at the port."
The leading white lieutenant colonel saluted and shouted to Ye Qingshan.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant Colonel Nick."
At this time, several other officers nearby could no longer help themselves and came to Ye Qingshan to salute.
"Sir, Wang Chuying is here to report."
"Sir, Yan Qing is here to report!"
"Sir..."
The naval officers blushed and shouted excitedly.
They finally met again the commander whom they admired most.
"it is good."
Ye Qingshan smiled and returned the greeting.
Of course he remembered the names of these people, all of them were the chief officers of his fleet.
Before they went to the United States, Ye Qingshan personally sent them off.
"Let's go to the port first."
Ye Qingshan knew that this was not the place to talk, so he was protected by everyone.
Get on the military vehicle and drive all the way to the port.
The port is not too far from the airport and can be reached in less than half an hour.
After entering the port, Ye Qingshan saw a busy scene.
A large number of local coolies carried a large amount of war supplies off the US military transport ships.
Ye Qingshan and his companions did not stay here for too long, but went to the other side of the port.
The situation on the other side of the port was completely different and much quieter.
Because this is a military port.
All the warships from the Allied forces are anchored here.
Lieutenant Colonel Nick had already left at this time. He was only responsible for protecting Ye Qingshan from the airport to the port.
Now, his mission is accomplished.
From now on, it would be none of his business when Ye Qingshan would command his fleet to leave.
"Are these our warships?"
At this time, Ye Qingshan was standing on the dock, looking at the warships anchored at the berths, and asked Wang Chuying beside him.
"Yes, sir.
These are our warships.”
Wang Chuying replied with excitement and pride in his tone.
"Well, it looks quite new.
It seems that the transformation has been fruitful.
At least from their appearance now, you can’t tell that they are antiques from 20 or 30 years ago.”
