Chapter 82: Intervention (2)
Zhuo Fei was unusual, changing the warmth when he met Zhou Enlai in the past, and there was always an aggressive meaning between his words, which made Zhou Enlai suddenly a little confused. The re-union between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was facilitated by Zhuo Fei, and every time he met with Zhuo Fei, Zhuo Fei always avoided talking about sensitive issues between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party when he spoke.
"Mr. Zhou, I am Chinese, but I am also the owner of the umbrella. Whether it was helping you train your troops or providing arms and supplies in the early days, the umbrella never refused, and actively went south to help you resist the northward movement of the Japanese army in South Asia. But in any case, the umbrella is not under the command of the Kuomintang or you, and the umbrella cannot always unconditionally spare no effort to pay for China. ”
"The umbrella is getting bigger and bigger, and we have a large number of academics and scientists who do research and development for us, and it takes a lot of money to keep the research base running. Mr. Zhou, I might as well just say it directly, if you insist on sending troops to the Soviet Union, then our umbrella will terminate all cooperation with China. In the event of a cessation of cooperation with you, all personnel in Japan will immediately move south to Okinawa, and then the borders of Burma and Vietnam will be closed, and no longer intervene in China's affairs. ”
Zhuo Fei's words completely made Zhou Enlai and Chen Yun unable to react, especially Zhou Enlai was even more depressed, he came here to meet Zhuo Fei, he was ready to persuade Zhuo Fei to support the Soviet Union, but what he didn't expect was that Zhuo Fei not only refused to send troops to the Soviet Union, but also proposed that all cooperation with China might be interrupted. "General Zhuo, why do you have to make such a fuss? Is there anything we can discuss with us? Chen Yun opened his mouth to play a round in an attempt to ease the atmosphere, but Zhuo Fei rolled his eyes.
"Mr. Zhou, this is my attitude, before the start of the war against Japan, I once said that I was not optimistic about sending troops to the Soviet Union. At that time, I seemed to have sent you a lot of information and intelligence, and Mr. Mao of your party was an outstanding military commander, I don't believe that Mr. Mao could not see the problem from those intelligence and materials? But why, now, what I hear is that your party insists on sending troops to the Soviet Union? Wouldn't it be bad to send those troops to the Americas for the greater good of China? ”
Zhuo Fei's words made Chen Yun subconsciously turn his gaze to Zhou Enlai, and after the latter groaned slightly, he slowly spoke. "General Zhuo, we are very grateful for everything that the umbrella has done to China, but you must know that we in China are committed to building a socialist country. At present, the number of socialist countries in the world is the largest, and if we ignore the Soviet Union's pleas for help at this time, then we may not be able to gain the support of other socialist countries in the world after the war. ”
Zhou En's expression was solemn when he said this, but the answer given by Zhuo Fei made the solemnity on Zhou Enlai and Chen Yun's faces instantly dissipate. "Mr. Zhou, with all due respect, it is impossible to gain the support of the international community after the war by selfless dedication to the Soviet Union. As long as China can take advantage of this opportunity to bury its head in development and expand its influence externally, as long as China has the strength and coveted capital that other countries fear, there is no need to lobby around, and countries will automatically come to the door to support China. ”
Zhuo Fei's words can be regarded as ahead of his time in this era, and neither Zhou Enlai nor Chen Yun can figure out why Zhuo Fei is so sure. From the expressions of the two of them at the moment, it was not difficult for Zhuo Fei to see the suspicion, so he continued with a smile, "Maybe you will think that I am a fool's dream, but I want to tell you that there are no benefits in this world, and if you don't have enough strength, how can you let most countries in the world support China." ”
"Now is the era of war, the combat capacity of the troops and the massive source of troops will become the standard to measure the strength of a country, and once the war is over, economic strength is the foundation of the country. Compared with European countries, China itself has a great shortcoming, and our protective umbrella has worked hard to promote the cooperation of your two parties to the outside world, and the purpose of mobilizing troops against Japan is to end the war in Asia as soon as possible and buy time for China's development. ”
"Suffice it to say, this is the most critical moment for China, and if we don't seize this opportunity, all the foreshadowing and preparation we have made before will be in vain. So, I don't understand, why do you have to send troops to the Soviet Union at this time? Why should we ignore this great opportunity? I still have the opinion just now, if your party must send troops against the Soviet Union, then our protective umbrella can only break off all cooperation with you. ”
Zhuo Fei didn't give Zhou Enlai and Chen Yun more time to explain at all, and after saying what he wanted to express, he made an attitude of sending off guests, but Zhou Enlai, Chen Yun and others had to leave the hotel where Zhuo Fei stayed. Half an hour later, Chiang Kai-shek in the villa on the south bank received news that the agents of the military command listening team said that Zhuo Fei had a dispute with ** in the meeting, and Zhuo Fei repeatedly emphasized that he did not agree to send troops to the Soviet Union.
"Zhuo Fei is still a general person, although he is not very young, but his style of doing things is quite stable." Knowing that Zhuo Fei had a dispute with the ** person, Chiang Kai-shek's mood suddenly improved, and he also praised Zhuo Fei a few words. The next day, Zhuo Fei, who had had a good night's sleep, rushed to the villa on the south bank to meet with the top officials of the coalition government, and this time, Chiang Kai-shek was no longer as silent as before, because he knew that Zhuo Fei was on his side when it came to sending troops to the Soviet Union.
The meeting did not start for a long time, and as Zhuo Fei had predicted before he came, Chiang Kai-shek really led the direction of the meeting to the topic of sending troops to the Soviet Union. Looking around at his high-level leaders, Zhuo Fei smiled, and then said, "I'm going back to Chongqing this time, for the "The Strongest Soldier of the War of Resistance" that you are watching now Chapter 82 Intervention (2) There is only half a chapter, to see the full version, please search in Baidu: (Ice + Thunder + Chinese + Text) After entering, search again: The strongest soldier of the War of Resistance
