[295] Secret meeting

U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Hoyt Vandenberg sat down and said:

"In the current situation, I think we should not give up our efforts to win over China, at least, we should try. For example, allowing China to join the United Nations is, after all, a natural conformity to international law.

When a weak person has a say, I don't believe that he will continue to be at the mercy of Moscow, and sooner or later they will disagree! Moreover, this can also provide us with a platform for continuous contact and exchange with the Chinese, and many problems can be resolved through diplomatic communication, which can also play a role in dividing the Moscow camp. And we and our Anglo-French allies have three seats, and we have a firm majority, so we can have no worries about the impact of backward China on the whole. As for the veto, since it is a one-vote veto, it will not make any practical sense if Beijing goes along with Moscow. On the contrary, one single failure by Beijing to cooperate with Moscow will sow the seeds of distrust between the Chinese and the Russians! ”

Chief of Naval Operations Forrest Sherman said: "The Chinese Navy is still weak and poses no threat to the great U.S. Navy. However, the Taiwan Strait is too narrow! As the Chinese have just completed a blitzkrieg landing operation, the narrow strait seems to have little defensive value, and the tiny Formosa has no strategic depth to speak of. Once the Russians deploy enough shore-based air force and long-range artillery, they will be able to complete a coordinated blockade of the Taiwan Strait. And that kind of high-speed speedboat carrying large-caliber torpedoes is the most difficult opponent in this narrow sea area! These wasps can take advantage of the myriad coastal reefs around the strait for concealment, and then suddenly attack, and the radar will not be able to detect them at all!

Yes, we can send aircraft carriers, but our carrier-based aircraft are completely unsure of suppressing the opposing side's shore-based supersonic fighters! It seems to me that a propeller carrier-based aircraft is an almost impossible task for a supersonic fighter to defeat! And the opponent's shore-based jet torpedo bomber has already shown its speed! 900 kilometers per hour! This twin-engine jet bomber was so high that our carrier-based fighters could not catch up! It has now been confirmed that this bomber is the Il-28 Beagle bomber that the Russians have just demonstrated at the so-called 'May Day'!

I also agree with Mr. Secretary of the Navy that we should win over China, otherwise once China becomes an echo worm for Moscow, our southbound routes from South Korea and Japan will be under mortal threat! Once the Russians extend their shili into the Pacific, and the Chinese government becomes a regime that is completely subordinate to Moscow, we will have to rely on the Guam route from the Pacific Ocean for supplies! South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, and other resource-providing countries in Southeast Asia may be paralyzed by the sea lines of communication! ”

After a joint meeting of the Chiefs of Staff, Truman's face turned pale, and he could never have imagined that he would face such an embarrassing situation if he lost Taiwan! And the strategic judgment of the chiefs of staff is basically the same, that is, we must first do everything possible to win over China! If it does not succeed, then it will be necessary to re-evaluate the US military deployment in the Far East, which involves nearly $8 billion in military spending! This is simply a nightmare for the United States, which had just reduced its military spending from the highest level of World War II of $83 billion to less than $10 billion in 1948! In the long run, in the future, East Asia will even become a black hole of military spending!

Just when Truman was struggling in the White House with whether to lower his noble head, make contact with New China at the diplomatic level, and recognize the People's Republic of China in order to further win him over, the news came that Qiao Guanhua, the Chinese special ambassador to the United States, who had successfully received the Kuomintang Embassy in the United States, and Jiang Tinghuang both visited the US office at the United Nations! Submit a letter of state, hoping to conclude diplomatic relations with the United States.

"This is a great opportunity! The Chinese may not be as monolithic as they seem! As far as I know, the Soviet ambassador Glomyko was not informed! Mr. President, the eavesdropping devices inside our Chinese embassy and the listening devices in the outgoing phone are working fine! Acheson, who arrived immediately after hearing the news, told Truman.

Truman also became excited: "Are you sure? Dean. ”

Acheson said: "Yes, the Russians have always opposed his puppets to negotiate directly with the United States by crossing Moscow, and the Chinese said that only Ambassador Plenipotentiary Qiao Guanhua and Ambassador to the United States Jiang Tinghuang came this time!" The Russians were not informed! ”

Truman pondered for a moment and said, "Haode, arrange a trustworthy reporter...... Just use Schroeder, I owe him a favor. …… In addition, the standard of reception is higher, you talk to them in person, and send the news out after the meeting! This will definitely surprise Moscow, hehehe. ”

Acheson secretly despised Truman's idea, and he said: "Harry, if you really want to win over the Chinese, it's best not to let Schroeder send the press immediately."

I think the Chinese really want to strike a balance between Moscow and Washington, they are too weak for either side to crush them. But as a behemoth of land and population, they have a natural independence, which is determined by God. Obviously, Mao did not want to be a puppet of the Russians! This is our great opportunity! Harry, do you understand? ”

Truman looked at Acheson with a puzzled look, opened his canvassing blue eyes and said, "But this is an opportunity to sow the seeds of mistrust between Beijing and Moscow." ”

"The truth is," Acheson said, "the initiative for this news is in our hands. If the Chinese do show respect for the interests of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, then releasing the news now will undermine what little trust the Chinese have in us, and will only push them back to Moscow.

The purpose of the Chinese is undoubtedly to hope that the United States will recognize them and agree to their legitimate submission to the United Nations. In the current situation, this kind of obedience is in line with international law and is a matter of course, and whoever obstructs it will become the enemy of the 500 million Chinese, and this is a kind of hatred that is difficult to dissolve. For the United States, even if we prevent it, we will only temporarily delay this inevitable fact in time, and at the same time tie the Chinese to the Russian chariot from now on!

We should tell the Chinese that we are happy to see their reunification and return to the United Nations, but in order to prevent the Russians from obstructing, we will postpone the news of the meeting. ”

Truman asked, "So if we release the news, will the Russians obstruct it?" ”

Acheson said: "The Russians are not so stupid, the Chinese must have a debt after buying so many weapons from them, and they need the Chinese to pay back, not to force the Chinese to pay their debts." But if we say this, it will definitely make the Chinese worried, because the Russians are on their doorstep, and the pressure on them is too great, which is a natural distrust.

The British recognized the legitimacy of the Chinese regime in January, because the British have a much longer history of dealing with the Chinese than the United States, and they seem to know more about Chinese affairs than we do, as I must now acknowledge.

In contrast to the naïve rhetoric in our country that China would become a vassal of the Soviet Union, or that the Chinese supply-industry regime would soon collapse under the influence of 'liberal shili', the British believed that the Chinese supply-materialist movement, although influenced by the Soviet Union in its origins and organizational form, was fundamentally indigenous, and that China would not be willing to become a satellite of the Soviet Union. Now it seems that the prophecy of the British was correct! And once China is allowed to enter the UN Security Council...... Imagine having a microphone in your hand and he will always repeat what an adult says. Sooner or later, they will make a different voice than Moscow! There is no doubt that this will drive the Russians crazy! When the time comes, our chance will come!

Harry, you should understand that now is a very haode time! ”

Truman nodded hurriedly and said, "Thank God, there is one more of us who understands." Dean, I'll leave this meeting to you, and you gather all your staff at once, and we'll look into it urgently. ”

After a secret arrangement by the CIA, Ambassador Acheson and Ambassador Qiao Guanhua met at the Scott Holiday Inn near Long Island. The living room of the Superior Suite at the Scott Holiday Inn is now filled with a total of eight delegates from both sides. Ambassador Joe had no qualms about Schroeder, the journalist brought by Acheson.

Before this meeting, Ambassador Qiao was told before he left the country: Although it is reasonable and legal for us to resume our seat in the United Nations, if the United States blatantly opposes it, it is very likely that it will manipulate his shili in the United Nations, throw out a decision that is unfavorable to New China in the United Nations Assembly, or simply manipulate the vote, so that the proposal cannot be passed in the United Nations General Assembly!

And historically, that's what the United States did! Of course, at this time and at that time, it was because the United States had Taiwan as a bargaining chip in its hands, and the United States was not panicking. Now, after the United States has lost its puppet regime in Taiwan, it has nothing to rely on even if it wants to reverse black and white legally, but if it really wants to manipulate the UN General Assembly, disgust China, and postpone the restoration of China's lawful seat in the United Nations for a few years, the United States can still do it! Considering the Korean war that may break out in the near future, which will change the pattern of all shijie, New China can't afford to wait!

Acheson sat quietly on the sofa, listening carefully to the letter from the prime minister that Jiang Tinghuang interpreted on the spot, and felt his heart surging.

He was very excited, even as a political figure with cold logic, he felt the sincerity from the Chinese government and the huge political value contained in it!
