Chongqing, the official residence of Chairman Chiang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chairman Chiang is receiving visiting US Minister to China Jensen.

Recently, the Nationalist Government has been intensively seeking economic assistance from the U.S. government, because with the fall of a large area of the country, the Nationalist Government's tax sources have been seriously depleted, and military and administrative expenses have become increasingly high.

Therefore, Chairman Chiang hit the idea on the head of the US government.

Isn't the U.S. government the number one economic power in the world today? Coming up with a billion 800 million dollars, shouldn't it be a problem? As for the question of how to repay the financial aid after borrowing it, Chairman Chiang did not think about it, nor did he want to think about it, so it is better to pass the current difficulties before talking about anything else.

It's a big deal to take the customs tax as collateral when the time comes.

However, Jensen gave Chairman Chiang, who was full of expectations, a basin of cold water.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang." Jensen tilted his head slightly, shrugged his shoulders in a typical Western style, and then continued, "I personally am very willing and hope that the U.S. government can give economic assistance to the Nationalist government, but the United States is still dominated by isolation and conservatism, so ......."

Madame Chiang, who was sitting next to her, personally acted as an interpreter and translated Jensen's words to Chairman Chiang.

After hearing this, Chairman Jiang's face immediately became gloomy, but he was still a little unwilling, frowned and said: "500 million yuan is not good, 200 million is also okay, it really can't be even 50 million US dollars?" ”

Mrs. Jiang frowned slightly when she heard this, and Chairman Jiang at this time reminded her of the vendors in the vegetable market, but Mrs. Jiang still truthfully translated Chairman Jiang's meaning to Jensen.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Jiang." Jensen shrugged his shoulders again and said, "However, if Mr. Jiang is really in urgent need, I can personally obtain a credit line of $500,000 from Citibank, and Mr. Jiang can withdraw the $500,000 from various banks in Shanghai at any time by virtue of the promissory note I issued." ”

"Half a million dollars?" Chairman Jiang was angry, did he send Huazi?

At that moment, Chairman Jiang said to Wang Shihe angrily: "Shihe, send off!" ”

Wang Shihe stepped forward, stood in front of Jensen and said, "Mr. Minister, please!" ”

Jensen's face also fell, and Mrs. Jiang next to him hurriedly apologized, Jensen nodded in understanding, then stood up and bowed to Chairman Jiang, turned around and left.

Seeing Jensen's figure out of the room, Chairman Jiang paused on the floor with his cane and said angrily: "Americans, they always don't keep their word, and they promise to give us financial assistance, but they say that they don't have it." ”

Madame Chiang sighed and comforted: "Darling, you should understand that the total amount of trade between China and the United States is not even a fraction of the total trade between Japan and the United States, and if you are the president of the United States, I am afraid that you will not offend the Japanese government for the sake of China, and the United States is a country founded on business after all." ”

"But Japan is a wolf!" Chairman Chiang once again grabbed his cane and said angrily, "One day, the Americans will reap the consequences of their greed." ”

I have to say that Chairman Chiang actually still has some foresight.

Two years later, Americans are really reaping the consequences of this.

At this time, however, it is indeed impossible for the Americans to offend Japan, a big employer, because of China's small employer.

Chairman Chiang had just caught a cold a few days ago, and just now because of his excitement, he began to cough violently again, so Mrs. Chiang hurriedly picked up the teacup and handed it over, saying, "Darling, don't get excited, drink saliva." ”

As a result, Chairman Jiang had just taken a sip of tea when he saw that Wang Shihe, who had sent Jensen away, had returned.

Moreover, the look on Wang Shihe's face was very excited, and as soon as he entered the living room, he hurriedly said: "Commission, Huaiyin victory, Huaiyin victory!" ”

Chairman Jiang froze when he held the teacup, raised his head, and looked at Wang Shihe in a daze with tea in his mouth.

Wang Shihe knew that Chairman Jiang was waiting for him to tell him the details, so he continued: "The Sulu Theater reported that last night, Han Deqin's 89th Army, with the assistance of the New Fourth Army, completely annihilated the Qiushan Detachment in Donggou Town, and recovered Huaiyin City this morning, and this battle completely annihilated more than 15,000 devils!" Countless seizures! ”

"Poof!" Chairman Jiang squirted out the tea in his mouth and sprayed Mrs. Jiang in the face.

Mrs. Jiang sighed, her face was pale, but Chairman Jiang couldn't take care of his little wife, and said in disbelief: "How can this be? Didn't Han Deqin let the wolf teeth be arrested? And his 89th Army, isn't it cooperating with the Akiyama detachment to fight the New Fourth Army? Why did you suddenly wipe out the Akiyama detachment? ”

"This ......" Wang Shihe was also stunned when he heard this.

Yes, didn't the 89th Army say that it would fight the New Fourth Army with the Akiyama detachment?

Why did the style of painting suddenly reverse, and it became the 89th Army and the New Fourth Army to unite and annihilate the Akiyama detachment? Is the world changing too fast, or is my brain spinning too slowly?

Chairman Jiang calmed down and said: "You immediately ask the Sulu Theater to issue a detailed battle report and report it as soon as possible, I want to know, what happened in northern Jiangsu?" What's going on here? ”

"Yes!" Wang Shihe snapped upright, turned around and hurriedly conveyed the order.

Chairman Jiang then turned to look at Mrs. Jiang, and said with an apologetic face: "Madam, I was really embarrassed just now. ”

While speaking, Chairman Jiang took out a handkerchief to wipe the tea on Mrs. Jiang's face, and Mrs. Jiang glanced at Chairman Jiang helplessly, took the handkerchief in Chairman Jiang's hand, and said with a wry smile: "I'll do it myself." ”

While wiping the tea on her face, Mrs. Jiang asked, "This Han Deqin seems to be a fellow villager of Gu Shutong, right?" ”

Chairman Jiang snorted, nodded and said: "Han Deqin has always been very obedient, but this time I don't know what's going on. ”

Madame Jiang frowned and said: "Darling, that's not what I said, the New Fourth Army has to solve it, but this is a long-term concern after all, the Japanese are an imminent short-term worry, and at the moment we should still focus on the overall situation of the War of Resistance, otherwise, the military and people of the whole country will be cold, and your reputation and status will be greatly disadvantaged." ”

"That's what Madame said." Chairman Chiang's mood quickly improved, and he said happily, "Although Han Deqin failed to take this opportunity to eliminate the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu, it is a good thing that he was able to completely annihilate the Qiushan detachment and recover Huaiyin, and it is also a great boost to the current sluggish atmosphere of the War of Resistance Against Japan." ”

(Dividing Line)

Almost at the same time, Chairman Mao, who was far away in Yan'an, also learned the news of the Huaiyin victory.

Mr. Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou also gathered in Chairman Mao's cave for the first time.

"Lao Mao, Comrade Chen Yi said on the telegram that this coordinated operation with the National Army was planned and promoted by Xu Rui, a little guy, and from the actual effect, it is simply a stroke of genius." Mr. Zhu picked up the telegram on the table and shook it, and said excitedly, "This little guy really has unexpected actions every time." ”

Vice Chairman Zhou also nodded and said: "Being made so troubled by Xu Rui, the situation in northern Jiangsu has been completely eased, and compared with before, the situation in northern Jiangsu is not generally good, but very good!" ”

Chairman Mao hummed lightly and said: "This Xiao Xu, since he was born in Wuxi at the end of last year, he has won countless battles in less than two years, but if you want to say which battle is the most beautiful, it is none other than this Huaiyin victory, although this battle is actually commanded by Comrade Chen Yi, but the first credit has to be recorded on Xiao Xu's head." ”

Mr. Zhu said: "Lao Mao, why do you think Huaiyin is the most beautiful?" ”

Chairman Mao said: "Because in this battle, Xiao Xu not only wiped out the Japanese army in Huaiyin, but also made Han Deqin's 89th Army a friendly army, which shows that Xiao Xu is actually a military commander who knows how to fight and fight tactics, not a fierce general who only knows how to fight and rush. ”

Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "Well, Comrade Xiao Xu has matured. ”

"Chairman, boss." Vice Chairman Zhou picked up another telegram on the table and said, "Shouldn't we discuss this telegram from Comrade Xiao Xu?" Do we give or not give this man? ”

The telegram in Vice Chairman Zhou's hand was a telegram from Xu Rui to Yan'an.

Xu Rui thought from the Flying Tigers that there were actually a large number of veterans with martial arts backgrounds scattered in various base areas, and if these veterans were gathered, he would not have to go around the world to find people.

Chairman Mao smiled and said: "This little Xu, this is my army." ”

"Lao Mao, I think I have to give." Mr. Zhu said in a deep voice, "These martial arts masters are scattered in various base areas and units, at best, they are a relatively good soldier, but if they are gathered together and incorporated into the Wolf Tooth Brigade, then the combat effectiveness of this army is incredible, and I dare not say that it is not difficult to cross the ocean to Tokyo to assassinate the emperor of little Japan, but it is not difficult to sneak into Beiping and Nanjing to assassinate the senior generals of the Japanese army invading China." ”

Vice Chairman Zhou also nodded and said: "I agree with the boss's opinion, at the moment our conditions are more difficult, and it is even difficult to distribute uniform uniforms to the officers and men of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, but we communists should still have great ambitions, and we should try to form a strategic special force as much as possible." ”

Chairman Mao smiled and said: "Both of you have said so, and I dare to object?" ”

"That's it." Mr. Zhu made a final decision, "Immediately send a document to all base areas and troops, and let them immediately send good players with martial arts foundation to the Dameishan base area, and make a special note that all troops must cooperate. (To be continued.) )
