The Chairman's Palace in Kulen is a former state residence, and after An Jiajun moved in, it was renovated and some facilities were added to serve as a place for An Yi to stay, as well as a high-end residence for domestic and foreign heavyweight guests.

Normally, when An Yi came to Kulen, he would go to the military region and find a room to live in, and he never had special privileges, but this time Chiang Kai-shek and the representatives of Britain and the United States came in handy.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling, as well as Mr. Gong Qian and Mr. Xiang Yu, the representative of South China, were working with US Deputy Secretary of State Sumner. Wells and British Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax negotiated behind closed doors. After receiving the war report from Moscow, Sumner. Before Wells and Halifax could recover from the shock, they both received urgent reports from China, and as soon as the two of them combined, they simply found Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling, and then urgently invited Gong Qian and ** representatives to hold a meeting to discuss the proposals from the United States and Britain.

Due to the news blockade of the South China military, Chiang Kai-shek and others did not know that An Yi had returned at this time, so this meeting was already the highest level meeting at present.

Wells stood up first, reported the situation on the Soviet-German battlefield, the North American battlefield and the African battlefield, and then said with a solemn expression: "Now that the Chinese battlefield has basically stabilized, according to the information reported by the South China side, they will take the initiative to attack Korea and the Far East in the next step, so that as long as the South Chinese army is guarding the northeast and the Far East, and the squadron guards the coastline, it will be very difficult for the Japanese army to open up a battlefield on this line!"

"So, to some extent, there is basically no longer a threat of war in China itself! With that in mind, we would like to ask our allies to send troops to other battlefields to help us fight...... The war has continued until now, and it is becoming more and more cruel, and we must fully mobilize all our forces to contain the Japanese army and distract its energy in any battlefield, so that we can gradually recover the disadvantage, otherwise the war situation will become more and more difficult! ”

Chiang Kai-shek hesitated for a moment, and exchanged a whisper with Soong Meiling, who asked in English: "May I ask Mr. Wells, where are the Allies going to use our troops?" ”

Sumner. Wells said without hesitation: "The Australian continent! Facing Chiang Kai-shek's puzzled gaze after hearing Soong Meiling's translation, he further explained: "Our allied team is preparing to recover Madagascar Island in the near future, and gradually eliminate the Japanese troops distributed in the Seychelles Islands, Maldives Islands, Mascrean Islands and Chagos Islands, and then the Allied Navy will send a powerful fleet to dock at the subcontinent or Burmese ports, carry a large number of troops directly from the Indian Ocean to Australia, and take a short rest on Tasmania, that is, launch a landing operation on the Australian mainland!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek frowned: "Going out to fight is a huge risk, I don't know what kind of support the United States will give us?" ”

Sumner. Wells turned to Gong Qian: "Miss Gong, we are going to order $500 million in arms from Nanhua to arm Mr. Jiang's troops, are you sure to complete the production?" ”

Gong Qian hesitated slightly, and replied cautiously: "It's a little difficult, after all, we are also fighting against Japan now, and at the same time, due to the defeat of the Soviet army, we are in West Asia and Central Asia, and we suddenly bear the threat from the German ** team, and we need a lot of arms to arm and defend ourselves...... However, with our duty to our allies, we can fulfill orders. 《》”

"Thank you for your support!"

Sumner. Wells nodded, and then said to Song Meiling: "In addition to providing necessary arms assistance, we will also provide your government with financial assistance of 500 million US dollars to improve your country's economic situation." With this investment, I believe that the depreciation of your country's fiat currency will be effectively curbed. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, and then put forward his own suggestion: "Since it is an obligation, it cannot only be led by the army of our national government, I think the ** army also needs to contribute people!" ”

Wells said: "We think so, in order to contain the attention of the Axis ** team, especially the German army, we must open up a completely new battlefield, which is initially set in North Africa!" At present, the Free French ** team has integrated the armies of French Equatorial Africa and other colonies, and has established a team of nearly 100,000 people. 《》

"We would like to ask the first side to send an army to cooperate with the Allied expeditionary force to form a powerful strategic force, land in North Africa, from Morocco and Algeria, all the way to the Italian colony of Libya, gradually recover the countries and regions bordering the Mediterranean, and form an oppression on the German and Italian fascists."

Vice Chairman Zhou, whose name is Xiangyu, was a little surprised, but he quickly adjusted his mood and asked: "Why did the allies choose us to go abroad to participate in the war when we had poor weapons and equipment?" You must know that our weapons mainly come from the capture of the war against Japan, and many officers and men only receive a few rounds of ammunition before the battle, and the solution to the battle is generally by fighting bayonets when charging. This is barely okay against the Japanese army, but it is obviously not good for the well-armed German ** team! Although we are willing to do our duty as allies, we can't do it! ”

Lord Halifax, the British Foreign Secretary, who had been silent before, said: "China has just restored peace, and the current political situation is very delicate. Here, on behalf of the Allies, I would like to promise that as long as the ** army is willing to go abroad to fight, we will be responsible for solving the problem with weapons and equipment...... At that time, you will only need to take a boat and go to West Africa to receive weapons and equipment with your bare hands. ”

Zhou Xiangyu pondered for a while and said, "If this is the case, we will carefully consider this suggestion." Our party is a collective leader, and I do not dare to make decisions on the issue of army transfers, but I believe that our party comrades will definitely make the right decision and not let everyone down.

"In addition, before we make a formal commitment, I would like to make it clear that if we send troops, the command of the army must be in our hands, the troops cannot be divided and used, we must receive orders from the Allied command as a whole, and then fight autonomously, and the Allied side cannot forcibly intervene!"

Chiang Kai-shek was worried that his troops would be used as cannon fodder, so he immediately echoed: "Our army must also make its own decisions, and we will not accept the unrealistic and blind command ......."

After listening to the translator's words, both Wells and Halifax frowned.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was opened from the outside, everyone turned their heads, looked curiously, and saw An Yi, who was dressed in an ordinary military uniform, walking in.

An Yi's eyes wandered over the faces of the participants, smiled and nodded to Gong Qian, and then strode to Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, first stood up and saluted Chiang Kai-shek, said "Hello principal", and then said to Song Meiling with a smile: "Master, I am ashamed that you came to my place, I did not greet you in person!" ”

Song Meiling stood up excitedly, held An Yi's hand, and said reproachfully: "Xiao Yi, you haven't been to Nanjing to see me for so long, do you hate me as an old woman?" ”

An Yi hurriedly smiled:

"Where, my wife is so beautiful at all times, and whoever wants to tell me that my wife is an old woman, I will be anxious with him! My wife also knows that Nanhua grass is not firmly rooted, I have to keep an eye on it at any time, for fear that something will happen, so I have not forgotten my wife and the principal, and I will prepare gifts for my wife and the principal during the New Year's holidays, just for fear that you will have a misunderstanding. ”

At this time, Wells and Halifax also came to their senses, and the two stood up and saluted An Yi.

An Yi greeted with a smile, and shook hands with ** representative Zhou Xiangyu, calling him "Director Zhou" at the Whampoa Military Academy. Finally, An Yi sat down beside Gong Qian and said, "Go ahead with the meeting, where are you talking?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek snorted and said, "An Yi, since you are here, then we will solve Lu Yixuan's matter first." He's outside now, do you want me to call him in and kowtow to you? ”

An Yi said with a hippie smile:

"Headmaster, if you really like Brother Ziang, let him follow you! My senior brother, leading soldiers to fight is first-class, and he has good marksmanship, with him following you, presumably the principal is like a tiger with wings, and the students are too late to be happy for the principal, where do you dare to object? ”

Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with An Yi's face, and his complexion was a little pale: "Since you don't want to embarrass Lu Yixuan, can the troops in Guisui, Zhangjiakou, and Shanhaiguan be withdrawn?" Your million-strong army is there, and no one has the heart to do anything else, and in case of friction and fire, who will be responsible for this? ”

An Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Headmaster, please forgive the students for being presumptuous, these areas were all taken by us from the Japanese invaders, where do you say give up?" You have to pay some hard work or something, right? The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers......"

Chiang Kai-shek straightened his face and glanced at Wells and Halifax: "If your army doesn't retreat, I don't dare to mobilize my army to go abroad to fight, everyone is just so consumed, right?" ”

"Going to war abroad?"

An Yi was stunned for a moment, and Gong Qian immediately attached to his ear and said the content of the meeting just now. Hearing Chiang Kai-shek's promise to send troops, An Yi was very surprised, thought for a while, and said:

"Since the chairman is willing to make sacrifices, I am not unreasonable...... In this way, we can withdraw our troops, but we are under great pressure on the western front, and we urgently need domestic material and manpower support, and I want to sign a bilateral trade agreement to ensure that military production can be carried out normally. A massive peace petition movement like this must not happen again! ”

As long as An Yi was willing to settle things down, Chiang Kai-shek was not willing to persecute too much, so he immediately agreed.

Director Zhou said: "If the Nanhua army withdraws, we demand the occupation of Datong and Zhangjiakou...... Since the counteroffensive, our Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army have been ordered not to occupy and take over large cities, so although they have made great contributions to the anti-Japanese war, they have only gained small places, and it is difficult to even buy some things. If you want the horses to run fast, and you want the horses not to eat grass, it's very difficult to do! ”

Chiang Kai-shek's face turned pale: "No, Zhangjiakou definitely can't, this is the gateway to Pingjin, and the central government must control it." Datong can be considered, but General Yan Baichuan's emotions must be taken care of, if Brother Baichuan has no opinion, I don't have any opinion. ”
