Chapter 1353: A Lot of Joy and a Lot of Sorrow
This question is really not easy to answer, the Northwest Transportation Line and the Normandy landings are all shocking masterpieces separately, and all aspects involved are unknown, not to mention that the two events are concentrated in these few days, even if it is any of them, such a thorough and complete plan is far from being completed in ten days, but Jiang Haoran not only came up with a perfect plan, but also demonstrated it one by one on the map and sand table, which is to say that he Jiang Haoran completed it in ten days, I am afraid that no one will believe it, Because this is beyond the scope of manpower and completely unscientific.
But if you want to say that there is a plan early, then the problem is big, especially the opening of the northwest transportation line, which obviously brought endless benefits to the Chinese, coupled with Jiang Haoran's previous "clever plan" to the Soviet Union and the East India Fleet "coincidentally" unable to assemble in a short time, everyone will think of whether this will be your Jiang Haoran's conspiracy, everything has long been in your Jiang Haoran's plan, and the allies have been completely used as guns.
Once the "conspiracy theory" is established, everything will probably have to be recalculated.
Jiang Haoran smiled and was silent, his eyes looked straight at Eisenhower, he only looked at him in his heart, and always thought that there was something wrong with his question, how did he know that this was Jiang Haoran's usual trick, even if he could win a little time, he might turn things around.
After a long time, Jiang Haoran said: "I believe that General Stilwell should have informed you of Ambassador Aiden's situation, right?" ”
Eisenhower nodded and acquiesced, and Jiang Haoran continued: "Although I have not had a head-to-head confrontation with Hitler, I found that he has a tactical characteristic, specializing in picking up soft persimmons and pinching, the west is not conducive to playing the south, and the south is not conducive to playing the east, I don't know if everyone agrees with this point of view?" ”
The people at the venue immediately exchanged their heads and quickly came to the conclusion that what Jiang Haoran said was reasonable.
At the beginning, because of the desperate resistance of the British, the German army gave up the continued attack on the British Isles, and turned its troops to the African theater, and after the African theater did not advance smoothly, it turned to the Soviet Union, of course, there was a big factor in this because the Soviet Union first provoked the war, but after the German army tasted the sweetness, it immediately mobilized troops to attack the Soviet Union on all fronts, and the African theater got a rare respite.
Jiang Haoran continued: "It is precisely because of Hitler's habit, or that he is good at this, and the East India fleet sailed into the Pacific Ocean at this time, I was worried that they would attack the Suez Canal, for which I also solemnly reminded Ambassador Aiden and asked him to tell General Montgomery to draw attention, but Ambassador Aiden responded to me that General Montgomery had already made precise arrangements, so I did not continue to delve into this matter, because in the concept of the Chinese, Pointing too much finger at other people's things is eventful and disgusting, and I don't want to be this kind of villain. But I have a very strong sense of crisis, and I am also good at taking precautions, so since then, I have been pondering how to solve this situation in case of such a situation, so it can be said that these two plans were also born at that time, as for the combat sand table that you just saw, this is what I and General Stilwell, General Alexander, General Chen Shaokuan, General Gui Yongqing and other staff generals worked out without sleep for three days and three nights, are you still satisfied with this answer? ”
"Hehe, take precautions? Well, thanks to General Chiang's precautions, we will not be too embarrassed, we still have a lot to do, so we don't have to waste time on mutual suspicion, and in the spirit of sincere unity and mutual help, we will beat the evil fascists to a pulp. Roosevelt said loudly.
The witty tone ushered in a burst of laughter and applause, even if this matter is over, everyone may not fully believe Jiang Haoran's words, but at this time, everyone knows that there is no better plan than him, even if it is not good for everyone to forcibly tear apart the bloody facts, this kind of words can only be asked by an upright general like Eisenhower, and these politicians present, even if they have this kind of thought, will never put this kind of question on the table.
The meeting proceeded as scheduled and did not end until the afternoon of the following day.
The conference included almost all the contents of the historical "Cairo Conference", but once again reaffirmed the integrity of China's territory, including Taiwan, Diaoyu Island, and even the Ryukyus, which belonged to China during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and that the island countries must be returned to China unconditionally after the war, and the Soviet Union's promise to return China's West Siberian territory has also been recognized and recognized by all countries.
As for the British colonies in Southeast Asia, such as India, Burma, and the Malay Peninsula, in view of the fact that Britain has completely lost control over them, in order to facilitate coordination during the war, the Southeast Asian Theater troops will temporarily manage them on their behalf, and after the war, they will be decided through separate consultations in accordance with public opinion and actual conditions.
The British were very indignant at this clause, but with the loss of the Suez Canal, they did completely lose control of these areas, and Roosevelt repeatedly reiterated that this was only an expedient measure, all from the perspective of war, and the British authorities should make sacrifices, but Churchill could only grit his teeth and agree.
But he also knew that the decline of Britain began here, and the majesty of the empire on which the sun never set was gone, which was not Jiang Haoran's conspiracy, but a tacit agreement reached by Mi, the Soviet Union, and China, and they were powerless to change the situation.
This result is what Roosevelt wants to see the most, Britain's strength comes from countless colonies, and the people of the United States cannot allow two lions to entrench themselves on the other side of the Atlantic. As for how the Americans divided these areas with the Chinese after the war, that is a matter for the future, and it is a certain thing, but it is unknown whether Jiang Haoran will be as they wish in the future.
In any case, the Chittagong meeting ended successfully, and the result was, of course, a mixture of joy and sorrow.
The leaders left Chittagong that afternoon and returned home, and there was so much to do that no one wanted to waste an extra minute here.
Seeing off the last batch of guests from the airport, when Jiang Haoran returned to the headquarters, all the generals immediately burst into thunderous applause, everyone danced to celebrate this great moment, almost all of them entered a state of madness, Chen Chen, Bai Chongxi, Chen Shaokuan, Xiao Guang and others cried with joy.
For the first time in its more than 100-year history since the Opium War, China participated in the conference as a world power, and China's international status has skyrocketed, and the world's top four powers have been properly reached.
Anyone with eyes can see that the Soviet Union is no longer majestic after this catastrophe, and Britain has also tasted the serious consequences brought about by the appeasement policy at the beginning, losing a large number of colonies, and the ambition of the United States is suppressed, and the chance of turning the tables is equal to nothing, and China, which is developing at full speed, will be able to sit firmly in the second place in time and this time will definitely not be too long.
