"We know very well that General Stilwell wants to counterattack Burma and regain Rangoon," Chiang Kai-shek walked to the middle of the living room, as if to make a speech: "But according to our strategy, the main battlefield should be domestic, the Southeast Asian battlefield should be the secondary battlefield, and the main forces should be concentrated in the main battlefield, which is the minimum common sense." Whole \ Ben // Small \ Say // Net

But General Stilwell ignored it, and must counterattack Rangoon, well, I agreed to counterattack Rangoon, and for this purpose expanded the expeditionary force, and transferred two new armies, and expanded the expeditionary force to 400,000 people, as far as I know, the Japanese army in Burma is only more than 80,000 people, of which the main force is 70,000 to face our army.

There were only more than 10,000 people on the Burma-India border, while the British army, with five divisions and 140,000 people, was on the defensive side without the slightest aggressiveness. But General Stilwell turned a blind eye, and only knew that he frequently accused our army of transferring materials that should have been used for our army to the British army. Mr. Wilkie, I'm afraid you don't know, of the 200,000 troops I transferred to Stilwell, up to now, most of the troops have no artillery, no tanks, and some companies don't even have machine guns. If Stilwell was sincere in counterattacking Rangoon, then he should have been sincere in equipping and training his troops, not just complaining. ”

In the face of Chiang Kai-shek's accusations, Wilkie was speechless, and had to stare at Brian, who smiled bitterly in his heart, and in this matter, he thought that Stilwell was in too haste. After the Battle of Northern Hubei began, the trend of victory became more and more obvious, and Stilwell's heart became more and more anxious. In order to force Chiang Kai-shek to agree to launch a counteroffensive in Burma as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to use his power to reduce US aid supplies and arm the 18th Army, which undoubtedly intensified the contradictions with Chiang Kai-shek.

"Chairman, General Stilwell is working hard to train the expeditionary force." Brian's answer was a little weak.

"I hope so." Song Meiling nodded at him with a smile, but the meaning of her words was far from so easy.

Just as Wilkie was about to leave, Lin Wei made waves again: "Mr. Wilkie, in view of General Stilwell's eagerness to counterattack Burma, we hope that he can focus on the Southeast Asian military, and ask President Roosevelt to send another American general to serve as chief of staff in the Chinese theater." ”

There was a hint of gunpowder in the air, and Wilkie didn't expect it at all, although the Chinese side said it mildly, but the meaning was clear, and we wanted Stilwell to leave. They were so quick to propose a replacement that made him realize that Stilwell's relationship with Chiang Kai-shek had completely broken down.

For Stilwell, Chiang Kai-shek has been unbearable, in the previous life, on the basis of the US aid materials, he endured, but now, he does not want to endure it, when Stilwell proposed to arm the 18th Army and the New Fourth Army, when he transferred the materials that originally belonged to China to the British, Chiang Kai-shek decided to drive him away, just in time for the victory of the Northern Hubei Campaign, providing him with an important weight.

"I will report to the president what the chairman means." Wilkie replied nonchalantly, and then he didn't want to give in like that, so he spoke again: "The President is very concerned about the situation in your country, and the President is very interested in the political situation in your country, especially the relationship with the GCD. ”

Chiang Kai-shek smiled faintly, returned to his seat, and sat down for a long time without speaking Chen Bui, saying: "Thank you very much President Roosevelt for your concern, the situation in our country is very good, social reform is being implemented in various places, Hunan, Guangdong, Shaanxi, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, are all promoting social reform with great fanfare, and the chairman of the committee is leading a social ** in addition to leading the war." ”

"Ambassador Gauss has reported to the President on the social reforms in your country, and he thinks they can be compared to Roosevelt's New Deal."

In fact, Chen Bui's words are somewhat exaggerated, and it is true that Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, and Henan are carrying out social reforms, while Shaanxi has just begun, and Guangdong and Fujian are still in the preparatory stage.

Roosevelt's New Deal, Chiang Kai-shek knew one thing, the evaluation of Americans seems to be mixed, but looking at Wilkie's current appearance, this is a very high evaluation, but for Soong Meiling, who is familiar with the United States, this is the supreme evaluation.

"However, the President has heard that some new political parties have been formed in China, and these parties are formally proposing to form a coalition government, I would like to ask the chairman, what is your view?" Wilkie said.

At present, the domestic political situation is not as good as it is on the battlefield, but the dark tide is surging. After several years of deliberation, the Youth Party, the National Socialist Party, the National Salvation Association, the Vocational Education Society, and the Rural Construction Faction jointly formed the China Democratic Political Group. After the Spring Festival, the Third Party announced the formal establishment of the Chinese Kuomintang Association for the Promotion of Democracy, with Li Jishen as president, Deng Yanda as secretary general, and Zhang Bojun as organization director.

With the establishment of the democratic parties, the GCD took advantage of the trend and united these parties to put forward a bill for the establishment of a democratic coalition government at the political participation meeting, which was vetoed by Chiang Kai-shek without hesitation.

"The so-called coalition government is just grandstanding," Chen Bui looked stable: "The national government is actually a coalition government now, and there are people from all parties in the government, including ** personnel, such as Zhou Enlai and Ye Jying, in addition, Zhang Lan and Luo Longji, who have different opinions on the government, are all in the government, so we don't understand why they would put forward such a bill, which is completely ignoring the government's efforts in this regard." ”

Wilkie frowned slightly, in the eyes of Americans, democratic politics is the best political system, and the formation of a coalition government can win people's hearts and be beneficial to the war, so he slowed down and said: "But the president hopes that during the war, your country's domestic politics will remain stable." ”

This is a warning, a euphemistic warning, Chiang Kai-shek's face was gloomy, after the establishment of the democratic parties, the call for the reorganization of the government rose, and Zhou Enlai also put forward political reform requirements in the negotiations between the two parties, in addition to the Jicha theater, Hebei and Chahar, the conflict between the two parties began to rise again, Gao Shuxun's new Eighth Army could not stand in southern Hebei, retreated across the Yellow River, entered northwest Henan, and had skirmishes with the local ** Hebei, Shandong, and Henan troops, in order to cooperate with the negotiations with the GCD, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Hu Zongnan to concentrate more than 100,000 troops in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area, Threaten Yan'an. Obviously, Wilkie was referring to this.

Chiang Kai-shek was very aggrieved, dissatisfied and humiliated, and in his opinion, this was China's internal affair, and there was no need for the Americans to point fingers. Song Meiling noticed his mood swings, for fear that he would respond irrationally, so she replied before him: "Although the current domestic political situation is turbulent, it is still very good on the whole. Politically, under the leadership of the Nationalist Government, all political parties are carrying out the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and building the country, and although there have been some small waves recently, the overall situation is good. ”

Soong Meiling's interjection softened the atmosphere in the living room, but Chiang Kai-shek was still angry, and his anger only exploded after Wilkie left.

"Mother, Xipi! It's too much of a deception! Chiang Kai-shek crossed his hands on his hips, his face flushed, and stood in the center of the living room scolding.

Song Meiling shook her head slightly: "Daling, don't be so angry, Americans always like to point fingers like this, they don't understand China, let alone GCD, so they were deceived." ”

"Chairman, Madam is right, didn't Wilkie propose to go to Xi'an, let's take advantage of this time to strengthen the offensive and recover Wuhan, and then invite Wilkie to Wuhan so that the Americans can also understand." Lin Wei suggested.

"Well," Chiang Kai-shek spewed out a heavy breath of turbidity from his nostrils: "Weiwen is right, immediately telegraph to Zhuang Cultural Revolution, strengthen the offensive, annihilate Kanda as soon as possible, and then move troops eastward to attack Hanyang Hankou from the north; Telegraphed Chen Cheng to intensify the attack and capture Wuchang as soon as possible. ”

Lin Wei was stunned for a moment, Chiang Kai-shek actually drew a dividing line for the Ninth War Zone and the Fifth War Zone, the three towns of Wuhan, two belong to the Fifth War Zone, and one belongs to the Ninth War Zone, this is nothing, the Fifth War Zone annihilated the main force of the Eleventh Army, the loss must be not small, in this case, Chiang Kai-shek still has to hand over two of the three towns of Wuhan to him to attack, what does this make Chen Cheng think?

"Chairman of the Committee, the Fifth War Zone is encircling and annihilating Kanda, Wang Jingjiu is leading the Jiangbei troops of the Ninth War Zone to attack Huanglingji, and the troops are pointing directly at Hanyang, is it not to hand over the task of capturing Hanyang to Wang Jingjiu?" Lin Wei's tone was very tactful, but she quietly gave Song Meiling a look in private.

But Song Meiling pretended not to see it, in Song Meiling's opinion, Hanyang Hankou can be given to anyone, besides, she never interfered in military issues, and Chiang Kai-shek never wanted her to interfere in this regard.

Chiang Kai-shek hesitated slightly, but finally nodded: "Anyway, anyway, tell them that before Wilkie comes back from Xi'an, Wuhan must be taken, and I will accompany Wilkie to Wuhan to have a look." ”

Just when Chiang Kai-shek was furious in the Huangshan Mansion, in a small courtyard of Guanyin Bridge, Mei Youlan carried a plate of tea through the small door and came to the backyard.

Mei Youlan put the tea tray on the table, and then handed the tea to Zhou EN: "Mr. Zhou, please drink tea." ”

Then he put a cup in front of the old man Mei, walked to the old man's side, tucked the blanket draped on him, and reproached with some dissatisfaction: "Look at it, let it be in the house, I don't say I am depressed, I insist on coming to the yard, I am not honest when I come, I am not well from my illness, I am going to catch a cold again, I think you had better go back to the hospital." ”

"Hehe, it's not so delicate, my old bones are not delicate, if the little devil doesn't get out, I won't die." As he spoke, the three strands of white whiskers under Old Man Mei's jaw were curled and warped, which was very good-looking.

"Oh, good tea." Zhou EN raised his eyebrows and exclaimed.

"Of course, this is Zhu Yeqing before the Ming Dynasty last year, and grandpa drank it cutely," the corners of Mei Youlan's mouth twitched slightly: "It's just a few taels, and I don't want to soak when my eldest brother comes." ”

"Oh, this is rare, then I am blessed by the old man." Zhou EN came to laugh.
