Section 1 Dispatch VI

It has only been more than a month since Kahun Zanyuhai returned to the attendant room, but now he is pregnant with this frozen world, he thought that the future years will be spent in the poor mountain of Panzhihua, but he did not expect that an order completely changed his fate, and he returned to this core of power, every day he hears questions related to the fate of millions of people, and every day he sees those high-ranking officials and nobles who are high in the collection, all these changes are so fast.

He looked at the office in awe, when the net returned. Chiang Kai-shek made a special trip to meet him, and he always remembered what Chiang Kai-shek said to him, "You are a classmate and a student of mine, and you have made a mistake." I, the teacher, should take half of the responsibility. In the past few years, you have suffered a lot and suffered a lot in Panzhihua, but if you don't make a jade, it will be very good for you in the future. ”

He didn't remember how he answered at the time. I just remember tears streaming down my face, and I don't know how to repay the principal's love and trust.

The meeting in the conference room has been going on for two hours. The British did not know that they would not budge, and Zhuang Wenge was probably impatient to wait in western Yunnan.

Xiao Zanyu also had a common feeling with Bai Sitong, who did not understand why Chiang Kai-shek had transferred him to the newly established third office of the chamberlain, and after Wang Jingwei left, he thought that he would be left out in the cold. I first returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as the director of the Department of Soviet Russia, and now I was transferred to the third division of the chamberlain as a chief clerk. Responsible for foreign affairs.

"We agree with your country to send an army into Burma. Wavell, who was responsible for the defense of the Mandalay region in central Burma, was very disdainful in his heart, if the British Empire could not stop the Japanese attack, how could the lowly Chinese stop it, China just wanted to stretch their hand to Burma and into the pockets of the British Empire.

"How much is a part?. Magrud immediately asked.

"One. Division, the squadron only needs to provide one division, the Sino-Burmese border area is inconvenient, too many troops are difficult to support logistics, one division is enough. In addition, we hope that China will give some of the supplies in Yangon to our troops. Wavell said in a deep voice.

He Yingqin couldn't help but snort, the British are too good at planning, a division, what did they do in the past, eat the guns of the Japanese, and send them some American aid, it is really too beautiful.

"How many troops does your country have in Burma?" He Yingqin asked.

"There are two divisions, and we are transferring a tank brigade from the Middle East and two divisions from Australia, so that our country has 100,000 people in Burma, which is completely enough to hold back the Japanese army." Wavell said.

"Oh?" He Yingqin smiled coldly: "In that case, why should we send this division over." Since your country can hold Burma, we don't need to worry about it

"And so it is, Your Excellency. What do you think? Wavell turned to Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek thought for a moment and said: "According to the information we have received, the Japanese army is attacking on a large scale in Tsege, Hunan, and we are also in urgent need of supplies, so we really can't provide support to you anymore, so it's better to do this." We will send an army to take over the defense of northern Myanmar and share part of the responsibility for your country

"Chairman, we hope that your country will send at least five armies to fight in Burma" Magrud hurriedly interjected: "As far as I know, your 49th Group Army has been resting in Hubei for a year. We want your country to send the most elite troops, not new ones created by the net

He Yingqin couldn't help but interrupt him: "General Gong Grude, defeating the Japanese invaders is our consistent insistence, and we are also willing to enter Burma to fight," he spread his hands: "General Wavell thinks that they can hold Burma and do not need us, we respect the British government, so we will not enter Burma without their consent."

"General Wavell" Magrud couldn't, and turned his target to Wavell: "I hope you will think carefully, with the honor of a soldier, if Burma can't hold it, how will you explain it to your government?" ”

This is my business, Wavell was unmoved: "I believe that my ** team can completely block the Japanese attack." ”

This is the difference between the British tradition and the Sino-American Soviet Union, in the Chinese, American and Soviet armies, orders are orders and must be carried out without the slightest discount, but Britain is different, and the orders of the higher authorities are more suggestions. The commander can consider whether to carry out or not to carry out according to the situation, and there is nothing that can be done if the superiors know it.

"Burma is not only your country's business, Burma's gains and losses are related to the development of the war situation in Southeast Asia, if the Japanese army occupies Burma, it can attack India if it advances westward. If you go north, you can attack Yunnan; If Burma is in our hands, we can use this to counterattack the Malay Peninsula, as well as Thailand and Indochina, whose strategic position is very important, and Magrud suppresses his anger. Believing Simmons' judgment even more, the Chinese wanted to hold North Burma. In order to preserve his cheap dignity, the British did not hesitate to sacrifice the entire Southeast Asian war situation.

Wavell hesitated, and he quibbled in silence: "Didn't General Magrud just now also say that the troops assembled in western Yunnan are all newly formed troops. The combat effectiveness of these units is completely uncertain. ”

"Your Excellency, I have received a message from the Joint Chiefs of Staff that I hope your country will send the 49th Group Army to fight in Burma." Magrud said.

Chiang Kai-shek was very proud in his heart, the prestige of the 49th Group Army had actually spread to the United States and Britain, and the Pacific War broke out to the present. Defeat after defeat in various places, such a powerful country as the United States and Britain has not achieved a single victory, only China has won a few victories against Japan in the past, which is a supreme honor, which makes him proud, makes him proud.

"The 49th Group Army has three armies under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of 140,000, and it will take at least three months to transfer to western Yunnan, and the Japanese will give us so much time?" Before Chiang Kai-shek could reply, He Yingqin first raised a question.

"Airlift" Magrud did not hesitate to propose a solution: "I know that your country once airlifted a division to Jiangsu, and this time it can also airlift a group army to western Yunnan. "So be it." Chiang Kai-shek remembered what Zhuang Jihua said, no matter what the British were, but in the end they still couldn't bear the demands of the United States, and China still had to send troops to Burma, so he didn't insist: "It is also difficult for the entire group army to be airlifted to western Yunnan, we have already assembled four armies in western Yunnan, and then airlifted one army, and airlifted the 103rd Army to western Yunnan, so that there are five armies, more than 200,000, and it is enough to hold Burma."

"The 103rd Army participated in the Battle of Xuzhou. They defeated the Japanese Fifth Division in Linyi and were one of the main forces of Zaoyang's counterattack, and in the Battle of Wuhan, they fought a bloody battle against Fujin Mountain, and were one of the most effective armies in our country.

By the way, General Sun Liren, the commander of the 103rd Army, is the West Point Military Academy of your country, Bi He Yingqin saw that Magrud was still a little unpretentious, and explained that Magrud was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there were generals who graduated from the West Point Military Academy in the ** squadron, but He Yingqin was not finished: "In addition. General Zhuang Jihua, who commanded this unit, graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy and also studied at the German Academy. He once commanded the defense of Nanjing and the counterattack of Xuzhou. In the Zaoyang counterattack, he defeated almost all the generals of the Japanese army. ”

"I have long heard about General Zhuang Jihua's achievements from Ambassador Jensen, and I believe that he can command the squadron, defeat the Japanese army, and hold Burma." "I understand the sincerity of your country, and I will report to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the President," Magrud said. ”

"General Wavell. The Joint Chiefs of Staff believes that it is difficult for your ** team to hold Myanmar alone. To this end, the Joint Chiefs of Staff authorized me to inform Your Excellency that if Burma is lost for your reasons, we will cancel the 300 tanks, 50,000 carbines, and 100 Mustang fighters that were scheduled to be sent to India, and these supplies will be transferred to China. Other than that. The supplies transferred to the Middle East will be cut by 40%, and these materials will be used on the battlefields of China and Soviet Russia. "Magrud wielded the killer copper. This is the mandate that the Joint Chiefs of Staff obtained for Roosevelt yesterday in urgent consultation with him.

Wavell had to face it squarely, Magrud's warning was very severe, sixty percent of British supplies came from the United States, and if the United States really did this, from London to Cairo, the British army would be scolded again. London wants to track it down, and he Wavell can't afford it.

Wavell finally relented and agreed to China's invasion of Burma, but demanded that the squadron be placed under the command of the British commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Hutton, the commander of the British forces in Burma. Chiang Kai-shek was about to agree, but He Yingqin objected: "We can't agree to this request, on the contrary, I think your army should fight under the command of General Zhuang Jihua, in terms of military rank, General Hu Dun is a lieutenant general, but General Zhuang Jihua is a general, and a lieutenant general commands a general, I am afraid it will only happen in your ** team; According to his resume, General Zhuang defeated the Japanese army three times and wiped out hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, and General Hu Dun probably has not fought with the Japanese army. So no matter from that aspect, it should be General Zhuang Jihua as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. ”

When He Yingqin spoke, Magrud nodded frequently, it was obvious that just by virtue of the rank, the British should be under the command of the Chinese, not to mention that there were achievements there.

Wavell found it difficult to accept: "This is absolutely not possible, the army of Great Britain can only be commanded by the generals of Great Britain." "Well, General Stilwell is coming," Chiang Kai-shek did not want to dwell on the subject. He began to make peace with the mud: "I propose that General Stilwell be the commander-in-chief of the Burmese coalition forces. ”

This one. The suggestion was temporarily accepted by those attending the meeting, and Wavell felt that there was no shame, and Chiang Kai-shek thought that with Zhuang Jihua's ability, he would definitely be able to make Shi Qiwei do what he wanted.

After the meeting ended, Chiang Kai-shek held his waist with his hands. With a slight swing, after being injured in Xi'an, his waist has been unable to support sitting still for a long time.

Seeing this, Song Meiling brought a cushion. Cushion him behind his waist and bring him a glass of warm water. She was also at the venue just now, acting as Chiang Kai-shek's interpreter.

"Finally there's a result." Song Meiling sighed softly: "However, Daling, do you feel that the United States attaches more importance to the European battlefield, and the supplies to us are far from catching up with Britain and Soviet Russia."

"In their eyes, the European battlefield is more important, and Germany is more important than Japan." Chiang Kai-shek squinted and said, to be honest, he was very dissatisfied with this result, but he couldn't help it.

"I want to go to America again." Soong Meiling said: "I consulted Bai Sitong, and he also thought that I should go to the United States again to persuade Roosevelt to strengthen assistance to the Chinese battlefield. ”

"Please come along." Chiang Kai-shek rang the bell and called the guards in and ordered.

After Bai Siran came in, Chiang Kai-shek asked straight to the point: "Do you think Madame should go to the United States now?" ”

"Yes," Bai Sitong replied, "the last time my wife went to the United States, the isolationist sentiment in the United States was still very high, but now it is different, and I think that this visit to the United States will definitely be an unprecedented success." ”

Chiang Kai-shek was still very confident in Soong Meiling's charm, and he was impressed by her charm back then, but the last time Soong Meiling visited the United States did not achieve the expected results, what about this time? He couldn't make up his mind.

"Great Order, Mr. Bai is right" Song Meiling knew that he was a little moved, but she was still hesitating, so she said: "The United States is completely different now than it was a year ago, not to mention, we have contained more than one million Japanese troops, President Roosevelt fully understands the importance of the Chinese battlefield, I think my visit to the United States will definitely be successful." ”

"Okay, you can get ready." Chiang Kai-shek nodded in agreement, then turned his head and asked Bai Sitong: "I have read your analysis of the diplomatic affairs of Britain and the United States." Very good. ”

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Bai Sitong wrote a memorandum based on various aspects, in which he analyzed the future diplomatic trend of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, and believed that China had persisted in the War of Resistance against Japan. The international prestige and international status will be greatly enhanced, and the Allies will realize the importance of China, so they propose to use this war to carry out active diplomacy with the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, and other countries, and demand the cancellation of all unequal treaties signed by various countries with China, the abolition of concessions, extraterritoriality, Gengzi indemnity, etc., and his most daring proposal is to take advantage of the predicament of Soviet Russia to demand that Soviet Russia recognize Mongolia as Chinese territory and return Mongolia to China after the war is over.

"It was the prime minister's lifelong wish to abolish unequal treaties, but unfortunately it was not fulfilled until his old man's death." Chiang Kai-shek sighed and looked up at the statue of Zhongshan on the wall, in the officialdom of the Republic of China, he was the only one who hung the statue of Zhongshan, and everyone else hung his portrait.

"Chairman, now is your chance. Just convince Roosevelt, and let him convince Britain. That's half the story, and that's one of the reasons why I advocate my wife's visit to the United States. Bai Sitong said.

"Hmm" Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly, his eyes still stayed on the statue of Zhongshan, Bai Sitong was a little nervous, this was an opportunity to leave a name in history, and he wanted to participate. But he went to the attendant's room and made such a request, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate.

"You and Wang Chonghui will discuss" As soon as Chiang Kai-shek's words came out, Bai Sitong was a little disappointed: "Draw up a plan, and after Madame goes to the United States, she will propose it to President Roosevelt." ”
