Chapter 640: The End of the Meeting
Chapter 640: End of the Meeting
Roosevelt finally said, "Well, guys, I'm sorry to call you over at such a late hour to analyze such a useless piece of information. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm really thinking about replacing this guy John......."
In general, the U.S. government is a republican country without a monarch. The republican system in the United States is characterized by the separation of powers, but among the three major organs of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, the president who holds executive and military power is the core. Therefore, the American form of government is a "presidential republic".
Therefore, the president holds the military and executive powers, but at the same time, he is constrained by the National Assembly and the Supreme Court, and the three powers are separated.
As president, Roosevelt had to assemble a staff team of his own to analyze some events for himself, so that he could make decisions and avoid making mistakes.
As for the staff team, Roosevelt could be trusted unconditionally.
It is a party itself, and it is also on its side during the general election, so it can definitely be believed unconditionally.
In fact, it is perfectly reasonable to be skeptical of this information.
For a long time after the founding of the United States, American foreign policy was guided by isolationist principles established by Washington, the founding father.
The essence of what Washington proposes is isolationist diplomacy that insists on not forming alliances with any country (mainly the European powers), not getting involved in the disputes of the great powers, and dealing with international affairs in complete independence, the essence of which is: "We act for ourselves, not for others." However, it is precisely the isolationist principle put forward by Washington that has had a significant and far-reaching impact on the future practice of US unilateralist diplomacy, that is, the pursuit of a foreign policy that is not influenced by other countries and international institutions, does not build and rely on alliances, and relies on its own strength to handle international affairs completely independently.
The presidents of the United States who took office strictly adhered to this principle, practicing isolationism until the outbreak of World War I and World War II.
It is precisely because of this close relationship between isolationism and unilateralism that from the time Washington established the diplomatic principle of isolationism until the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the diplomatic practice of the United States has always been dominated by unilateralism, that is, it has always insisted on not forming alliances with any country (mainly European powers), not getting involved in major power disputes, and handling foreign and international affairs completely independently.
Before World War II, isolationist sentiment was high in China, and from top to bottom, Wang Liang's intelligence was naturally ignored, and some people even believed that it was a deliberate attempt by the Chinese to disrupt the relationship between the United States and Japan in an attempt to get the US military to intervene in the war.
Wang Liang, who is well versed in history, knows that this will happen, and he has only one purpose, to let the Americans know their strength and at the same time win them over and establish a healthy relationship.
A few days later, Chi Buzhou, then a special communications expert in the Second Confidential Unit of the General Affairs Group of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, also obtained the same information as Wang Liang.
In other words, Wang Liang's intelligence was actually copied from this guy.
Chi Buzhou immediately reported it, and when the news was presented to Jiang Guangtou, Jiang was very shocked and immediately reported it to the United States.
However, the result, as you can imagine, is ruthlessly ignored.
That's all for later.
***********
The National Council for Political Participation was held very smoothly, and although there were some controversies during the three-day discussions, understanding and consensus were reached on many aspects as the discussions took place.
Wang Liang watched this national political participation meeting as if he was watching a play.
Let's take an analogy, a running man from Jiang Satellite TV has seen it, right?
This meeting is the same as the running man, everything is performed according to the script, and Lao Jiang has already arranged it properly in advance, the purpose is just to make a superficial appearance and give some media some material to report.
As for the series of documents that have been agreed upon, they are not counted.
What the? Signed?
Niang Xipi, Lao Tzu doesn't care so much.
......
On the fourth day, the meeting officially ended, and just as Wang Liang was about to return to the Eighth Route Army office in a car, an accident happened.
"Teacher, you go slowly."
"Teacher, pay more attention to your body."
"Goodbye, teacher."
Wang Liang really didn't expect to come to Chongqing and meet so many students in his past (during the Nanjing lecture class), these people were either promoted to senior officers at the division level, or took off their military uniforms to enter politics, all of them have made great achievements.
For Wang Liang, they have great admiration and respect.
Wang Liang scolded Fang Yu in class, pointed out the country, and Zhou Yi calculated hexagrams, which was all super-gods.
At that time, these people may have scoffed at Wang Liang's predictions and disagreed.
But today, they are astonishingly surprised to find that everything that Wang Liang had predicted at the beginning has been amazingly realized, and it is highly consistent.
Especially Lao Zhang, General Zhang Zhizhong, was very excited after seeing Wang Liang.
At the beginning, Wang Liang told him that if he came to Hunan Province in the future, he must pay attention to the two times of "Xinqiang River" and "Xinhe", and he must not use fire, otherwise there will be a big disaster.
At that time, Lao Zhang didn't care much, but when he was really transferred to the supreme military commander of Hunan Province one day, he remembered Wang Liang's words and began to pay special attention.
In the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939), Zhang Zhizhong, as the supreme military commander of Hunan Province, launched the "scorched earth policy", and misrepresented the "Xinqiang River" 300 miles away from Changsha as the "Xinhe" five kilometers away, thus causing a "11.13 Changsha Fire".
The fire lasted for five days and nights from November 13 to 17, burning down the prosperity of the 2,000-year-old city, and Changsha became one of the cities with the heaviest losses during the Anti-Japanese War. The strategic mistakes of the military authorities and the humiliation of their duties by the Hunan military and political authorities were considered to be the direct cause of this catastrophe, so Zhang Zhizhong, as the military and political leader of Hunan Province at that time, could not escape the blame. On November 20, he was dismissed from his post and retained due to the fire in Changsha.
It was Wang Liang's reminder that allowed Lao Zhang to directly avoid falling into this whirlpool.
Today, he has served as a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, the head of the Political Department of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, and the secretary general of the Three People's Youth League, and has won the trust of Lao Chiang.
The reason why Wang Liang is so good to Lao Zhang is because he is also a famous anti-Japanese general, and he has never fought against China.
During the Second Civil Revolutionary War, he was the only Kuomintang general who did not fight against the Communists, and was known as the "General of Peace". On several occasions on behalf of the Kuomintang, he went to Yan'an to negotiate with the Communists.
