Chapter 054: Chiang Kai-shek decided
Stilwell hurriedly said, "No, no, no...... Wang, you are absolutely mistaken, our transportation is also very dangerous, not only will there be German submarines on the waterway, but also the Japanese fleet will appear, especially after the Japanese land in India, the waterway will be even more dangerous, not to mention that it will consume a lot in India. ”
Wang Hanzhang said: "Don't say so much, anyway, we won't believe you, we can deceive us once, but you can't deceive us four times, five times, or six times, you yourself have personally experienced how China formed an expeditionary force, how to be framed, almost wiped out, and the British hid so many weapons in India, and they actually refused to share us a little to resist Japan, and those materials have always been withheld from us." ”
"Originally, I wanted to believe you once, but your performance disappointed us too much, if you did what you promised on time, then we will definitely not prevent the Japanese from leaving, otherwise who doesn't know that it will be difficult to fight after the concentration of the Japanese army?"
"Now that you are unreliable, the Japanese have left voluntarily, of course we are happy, at least if we go to fight, I am afraid that it will take a few months and may not be able to get it down, who told us that we are short of supplies, now the Japanese do not destroy the economy of the occupied areas and leave, if we attack them, they will be angry and angry, I am afraid that the people in the occupied areas will definitely suffer serious damage, and in addition to the losses of the war, the gains will outweigh the losses at that time, so we will not do that kind of stupid thing, we will have to accumulate strength to drive out the Japanese devils."
Stilwell couldn't see Wang Hanzhang, and said: "Wang, in fact, the United States has absolutely no intention of framing you, the United States has the interests of the United States, and it is impossible for China not to want the interests of its own country, and there are only eternal interests between countries, and there are no eternal friends, but now we have common interests, you want to drive the Japanese out of their own country, we want to drive the Japanese back to their hometowns, maintain world peace, and safeguard the interests of the United States, so we will not say anything to frame you. You know that the United States is a democratic and free country. ”
Wang Hanzhang said inconsistently, no matter how free the United States is, I am not an American, but there are only eternal interests between countries, and there are no permanent friends, which is a good saying. Therefore, for the sake of the interests of the Chinese nation, I made peace with the Japanese.
Wang Hanzhang said: "There is no eternal friend between countries, only eternal interests, this is a good saying, I hate the kind of person who always looks like the whole world is right to do what you do, you say that the relationship between countries, today's friends may be tomorrow's enemies, I hope you and I don't go to that step between the two countries." ”
"General Stilwell, do it yourself, although you only want to use us, but even without you, we will rely on our own strength to drive the Japanese away."
Stilwell felt that he could not continue to talk, and Wang Hanzhang seemed to no longer trust the Americans, so Stilwell went to the American embassy in Chongqing and reported it to the United States.
Roosevelt, Vice President Truman, and Marshall were discussing the situation in the world, including dealing with the changing attitudes of China and Qin.
Roosevelt said: "The Japanese withdrew their troops in China on a large scale, apparently knowing that the scattered forces would be broken one by one, so they reduced their forces, but at once they easily handed over Wuhan and other places that were hard to take down, do you think there is any conspiracy?" ”
Truman said: "I also read Stilwell's telegram, and it is understandable that the Chinese do not attack." But it is indeed strange that the Japanese withdrew from the hinterland of China in this way, and withdrew their troops to Shanghai, North China, Manchuria and other places, and it is difficult to tell whether they want to concentrate their forces for a decisive battle with the squadron or transfer these forces to the Pacific, if the latter, then we are more dangerous. ”
Marshall said: "Now the people of Qin State are very distrustful of us, which is also a lot of trouble!" ”
Truman said, "Then we can continue to cooperate with the Chinese, China is much stronger than the Qin state." ”
Marshall said: "It does look like that, but it doesn't look like China's population and economy are also superior to Japan's, and it's not like that." The current government of China is very **, cooperating with them, 100 tons of materials were given to the past, and it is difficult to say how much can be used to fight the Japanese, most of them have been bought and sold by some military and political personnel, and even sold to the Japanese. In contrast, Qin's integrity can be compared with that of the United States, and several victories over Japan are related to Qin's emperor Wang Hanzhang, if we abandon him, then we will have to face more Japanese troops. ”
Truman said: "We also helped a lot of supplies, didn't that Wang Hanzhang also say, without us, they will also use their own strength to drive away the Japanese, we can't be accustomed to this yellow-skinned infidel, then see what they are capable of, it's a big deal that they are almost defeated by the Japanese, we are shooting, I believe that this can give them an unforgettable lesson." ”
Roosevelt said, "Marshall, what do you think? ”
Marshall said: "Now that England is more important to us, it may be a good choice to dry the Chinese, God forbid that nothing will happen." ”
Truman said: "Guys, don't worry, is it possible that China will surrender now because we don't help, definitely not, and the Japanese will not defeat the Chinese at once at this time, but the situation in Europe is already very tense, if we don't lend a hand, then Europe may be finished." ”
Roosevelt said, "So be it, maybe we're too merciful to the yellow race, do they think they're God, and give whatever they want." ”
But soon the Americans couldn't laugh, China did not surrender, Japan was not defeated by China, but the two sides actually talked about nothing, this is a huge blow to the allies, without China's containment, Japan can go all out to deal with Britain and the United States, the Japanese are going all out to deal with the war in the Pacific, then the United States' current forces in the Pacific are definitely insufficient, in the face of Japan's round after round of offensives, the Americans have to withdraw part of the army that intends to expedition to Europe to support the Pacific.
And the pressure on Germany in Europe is much less, which is also conducive to Germany maintaining its strength to completely defeat Soviet Russia.
In China, it had been a week since the last talk, and Chiang Kai-shek had finally met Wang Hanzhang again, this time to talk about the last time.
Chiang Kai-shek said: "I thought about it for a while, and this time I gambled again and did it." ”
Wang Hanzhang said: "Commission, no matter what success or failure, future generations will definitely remember you." ”
Chiang Kai-shek said: "That's not important, I think I haven't done a major thing in the past ten years in power, and I should work hard today, don't let future generations scold me." ”
Wang Hanzhang said: "That's not what I said, who said that you haven't done anything big, you have a share in the establishment of the Qin State, without your expeditionary force, there is the Qin State, China has always insisted on the War of Resistance, so there is no country today, if it weren't for you, China would have died a long time ago." Besides, the victory of China today and the drive out of the Japanese are inseparable from your efforts. ”
"Bench, do you know why I am willing to support you as emperor, in fact, others say how you are, but they only see that you are the leader of China, and they do not see that you are the leader who can actually reach your hand like a warlord. In 37 years, the central government controlled only a few provinces in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but the other warlords in the country surrendered on the surface, but they always asked the central government for money, and the central government could not intervene in these places at all. Originally, I thought that since you don't want to establish a country in Myanmar, then Myanmar should be designated as a province of China, but then all the forces want to intervene there, so in order to ensure the purity there, I simply built a country, blocking other people's hands, and I can build a country of my dreams. ”
"In all fairness, if I hadn't built the country, there would definitely not be the good situation we have today, don't you say?"
Chiang Kai-shek's eyes were a little moist and nodded, he was very touched that someone could finally truly understand his difficulties for so many years, isn't this the case for so many years.
Wang Hanzhang said after a while: "Since you are willing to do it, since you want to do it, you must do your best to ensure victory, we are not joking." ”
Chiang Kai-shek said: "Of course, I believe that Han Zhang already has a plan, so tell your full plan." ”
Wang Hanzhang said: "The so-called external must first settle the interior, especially when the enemy has not yet attacked, so we have about half a year to eliminate the internal trouble, and we only have so much time at most, no matter how long, maybe Germany will not be destroyed under the joint attack of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, and then Soviet Russia will have more strength to deal with us, according to our current industry, it will definitely not be able to fight a protracted war with them." ”
"There are three aspects to eliminate internal troubles, and for a while, on the side of the Socialist Party, they have a very close relationship with Soviet Russia, so they should be properly handled and should not be allowed to retreat from us. The second is banditry, and there is a serious problem of bandits in the north and south of China's great rivers. The third is the warlords, and the warlords here include not only the warlords in various places, but also the warlords within the central government. Only by eliminating these three hidden dangers, at least temporarily, can we concentrate our efforts on developing industry and rearmament for war. ”
"This is a detailed proposal for reform that I have drafted, and if it can be fully implemented, China has a very good chance of achieving its goals." After that, Wang Hanzhang handed a document to Chiang Kai-shek, and at the same time continued to dictate the contents.
