Zhuang Jihua turned his head to see that it was Bai Xiude, a reporter from Time Magazine, Zhang Tingyi and Tang Shizun's faces changed slightly, Mei Youlan in the reporter group couldn't help frowning, looking at Zhuang Jihua's eyes full of worry, and Weber also thought about it. Full/Ben\Small/Say\Net

On the third day of the liberation of Wuhan, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling arrived in Wuhan: after the recovery of Jinan, Chiang Kai-shek also quickly rushed to Jinan, and the influence of Beiping and Tianjin far exceeded that of Wuhan and Jinan, but Chiang Kai-shek was delayed, which inevitably caused many ideas from outsiders.

"The victory in the Battle of North China was decided, and the chairman of the committee had already sent a congratulatory telegram, the reason why it has not yet arrived" Zhuang Jihua paused here and said meaningfully: "Don't you know that Chongqing has recently come to guests." ”

Chongqing did have guests, Sino-Soviet relations were on the verge of rupture, and President Roosevelt sent a special envoy to Hopkins to mediate, and Hopkins first passed through London, exchanged with Churchill in London, and then went to Moscow, where he stayed for four days before flying to Chongqing.

In the spring of Xiangshan, the mountain next to the road is blooming in the spring breeze, the air is wafting with huā incense, and the Huangshan villa is in the most beautiful time of the year.

Hopkins got out of the car, took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, and looked up to see Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling standing at the door of the villa.

"Chairman, congratulations, your ** team has won a great victory in North China" Hopkins shook Chiang Kai-shek's hand, and a smile appeared on Chiang Kai-shek's face, this smile was completely different in Hopkins' eyes than a few years ago, and he was more confident.

"Thank you, this is our common victory." Hopkins stood firm in his judgment that Chiang Kai-shek today is no longer the skeptical leader of a few years ago, and his demeanor is full of confidence.

"Madame, you are still so beautiful, time does not seem to affect you." Hopkins continued to compliment.

Song Meiling smiled lightly: "Mr. Hopkins, we have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time, is President Roosevelt okay?" ”

"Thank you, madam, the president is very nice, and he asked him to convey it to the chairman and his wife, who are very much looking forward to receiving the chairman and his wife in Washington."

Chiang Kai-shek did not immediately reply, but turned around and invited Hopkins into the room, and after a few steps he said slowly: "Thank you very much, but at this stage I have not had time to go to Washington, D.C., and in another year we will see the end of the war, and at that time, I think I will go to Washington to thank Mr. President for the great assistance he has given us." Mobile site"

Song Meiling was very satisfied, in the past, Chiang Kai-shek often answered bluntly in the face of such a sudden invitation, but today it is not, it is very decent, it can be said to be perfect.

However, the refusal is still a refusal, Hopkins was slightly stunned in his heart, and then understood that Chiang Kai-shek was expressing dissatisfaction with his first arrival in Moscow, in Chiang Kai-shek's view, Hopkins' arrival in Moscow first meant that the United States attached more importance to the demands of Soviet Russia, and this refusal was also Chiang Kai-shek's telling him that he would not make too many concessions to Soviet Russia.

Hopkins smiled faintly, followed Chiang Kai-shek into the living room, the two sides sat down separately, and after a few more greetings, Hopkins brought the topic to the point.

"Mr. President is very worried about the current Sino-Soviet relations, and the war between German fascism and Japanese militarism has entered a critical moment, and if there is a split between our allies, this will seriously affect our common cause.

Chiang Kai-shek's eyes flashed, Hopkins's intention was already clear, Chiang Kai-shek convened three meetings, and the plan had been prepared. He said slowly: "Since the 26th year of the Republic of China, we have resisted the aggression of the Japanese army, for which we have paid great sacrifices, why should we pay such great sacrifices, why should we endure so much suffering, the purpose is only one, to maintain the unity of the country, the dignity of the nation, Sino-Soviet relations have developed to this extent, what is the reason?" Who is responsible? Soviet Russia, they provoked trouble in Xinjiang in an attempt to split Xinjiang from our country.

Chiang Kai-shek's tone became more and more severe: "The rebel documents we captured prove that the Xinjiang rebellion was completely commanded by Soviet Russia in the back, and it was personally commanded by the Minister of Internal Affairs of Soviet Russia Beria, and its headquarters was in Almaty, and four regiments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Soviet Russia joined the Xinjiang rebels, and two brigades of the ancient army of Méng joined the Xinjiang rebels. Hopkins looked serious and was very embarrassed, although there was no direct evidence, but the signs of Soviet Russia's instigation of the rebellion in Xinjiang were very obvious, which was recognized in Chongqing's diplomatic circles, but so far, the Chinese government has not obtained direct evidence, judging from Chiang Kai-shek's tone, the Chinese government has obtained direct evidence.

The Chinese people occupy the moral high ground, Hopkins secretly said in his heart, but his expression was relatively calm, he looked at Chiang Kai-shek sincerely: "We understand your country's concern about the situation in Xinjiang, I also talked with Marshal Stalin in Moscow, he agreed that Xinjiang is the inherent territory of China, Soviet Russia does not support the rebels in Xinjiang, but Marshal Stalin is worried that the rebellion in Xinjiang will spread to Soviet Russia." Therefore, he hopes that the team can negotiate with the rebels in Xinjiang to a certain extent, and he is also worried about the situation in Ménggu. ”

When Hopkins said this, he couldn't help but think of the Kremlin master's somber face, Stalin's tone was full of threats, the "Middle" team entered the Méng Gu, and almost all the pseudo-Méng troops in the territory of the Méng Ancient Region defected, so that the "Middle" team successfully occupied the south of the desert, and one-third of the "Middle" team fell into the control of the "Middle" team, and the "Middle" team seemed to be still unsatisfied, ready to cross the desert and continue to the north.

Not to be outdone, the two armies attacked the Japanese army from the north and west, but it was not actually the Japanese army, but the pseudo-Méng army, what is surprising is that the pseudo Méng army did not resist in the face of the "Middle" team, but in the face of the Soviet Russian army and the Méng army was very tenacious, under the attack of the Soviet army, step by step, but never stopped fighting.

The Russian army accused the Ping ** team of supporting the puppet méng army in the back and providing logistical support to the puppet méng army, and maintained and displayed the captured puppet méng army weapons, which were clearly inscribed with the confessions of the captured puppet méng army officers made in China.

From the current point of view, China has the upper hand in Xinjiang and the ancient capital of Méng, but both the White House and Chongqing know that this is only temporary, and once Soviet Russia eases up from the European battlefield, China is still unable to compete with Soviet Russia.

"Xinjiang and Méng are both inherent territories of China, and for hundreds of years, successive governments of China have not recognized the independence of China" Chiang Kai-shek slowed down his tone slightly, but his expression was still very serious: "Mr. Hopkins, you can take a look at the history of China, Méng Gu was independent under the bayonet of Soviet Russia, which undoubtedly turned Méng Gu into a colony of Soviet Russia, not to mention, Soviet Russia is still eyeing the northeast region of our country, and we have to be vigilant about this." ”

Before Hopkins could speak, Song Meiling interjected: "Mr. Hopkins, GCISM is a threat to the main world of the people, this has never changed, and our current alliance with them is only temporary, we must stop them in Méng and the Far East, prevent them from entering the Northeast, into Korea, only in this way can we restrain them." ”

Hopkins was silent, Soong Meiling's views were not new, and there were many people in the United States who held this view, including important figures in the Democratic Party, who were dissatisfied with Roosevelt's policy toward the Soviet Union, and it was only when they were suppressed by Roosevelt's great prestige that they did not cause trouble in Congress.

"In the past year, we have achieved great victories," Hopkins decided to change his perspective: "But it is undeniable that Germany and Japan still have great strength, and China and Soviet Russia are both important forces in the world's anti-fascist camp, and if we cannot maintain unity, it will only be our common enemy who will benefit." ”

Hopkins looked at Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling very sincerely: "The president is very worried about Sino-Soviet relations, he is very worried, if there is a conflict between China and the Soviet Union in Méng Gu or Xinjiang, I don't know if the chairman of the committee also has this concern?" ”

"Of course we have this kind of worry," Soong Meiling replied before Chiang Kai-shek, she glanced at Chiang Kai-shek, smiled and said, "However, it is not up to us. Mr. Hopkins, you know that in Cairo and Tehran, we have a decision, and we will vote after the war to decide the future of Méng, and we want to know if this resolution is still valid? ”

Hopkins was a little surprised, he frowned slightly, and then nodded affirmatively: "Of course, this is our well knowledge." ”

Song Meiling breathed a relaxed sigh, the reason why she spoke before Chiang Kai-shek was worried that Chiang Kai-shek would die of words, the offensive of China in Méng Gu had reached the maximum, and the use of the puppet Méng army to block the Soviet Russian army had consumed most of Wei Lihuang's materials, and Wei Lihuang repeatedly called to increase the logistics supply to the Méng army, but the logistics pressure was too sharp.

After the recovery of North China, tens of millions of refugees, the pressure on food is unprecedented, Zhuang Jihua estimates that it will not be relieved until after the summer harvest, during this period all have to be transported out from the two lakes and four 11, and the transportation pressure is extremely great.

Wuhan, Xuzhou, Jinan, and Tianjin were all greatly damaged, production was not restored, a large number of workers lost their jobs, and the state finances were in great difficulty.

"Mr. Hopkins" Chiang Kai-shek said: "We have shown restraint, in Méng Gu I ** team has stopped advancing, we demand that Soviet Russia stop supporting the rebels in Xinjiang, in Méng, the current situation can be maintained, and the issue of Méng Gu can be dealt with after the war in accordance with the Cairo Agreement and the Tehran Agreement, and it is up to the people of Méng to decide." ”

Speaking of this, Chiang Kai-shek accentuated: "This is the attitude of the Nationalist Government, in fact, we are not worried about the Xinjiang issue, and the Nationalist Government has the ability to quell the rebellion in Xinjiang." ”

Hopkins breathed a sigh of relief, he had already noticed that Chiang Kai-shek's attitude had loosened somewhat, and he began to calculate in his heart, what Chiang Kai-shek wanted, according to the report of Weidemeyer and Gauss, the troops mobilized from Jiangnan and Northwest had reached the Dihua area, and Hu Zongnan's victory in the Ahsan area completely curbed the rebels' offensive and won time for the counterinsurgency. @。
