Although he was a little frustrated, Chiang Kai-shek was somewhat relieved to be invited to a conference on Europe, and he once again realized that with the victory of the war, the international status of China was rising significantly. Chiang Kai-shek convened Chen Cheng, Lin Wei, Wang Hui, Hui Baisi and others overnight to discuss, Chen Cheng believed that China had no vital interests in Europe and did not know much about the situation in Europe, and on the premise of defeating Germany, it could closely follow the opinions of the United States and act at the opportune opportunity.

Lin Wei believes that it can be more active, the most important thing in the European theater is to defeat Germany, and opening up a second battlefield is the issue that the three parties are most concerned about at present, and China should clearly support the opening of a second battlefield in France, which can effectively reduce the burden on Soviet Russia. As soon as the pressure on Soviet Russia in Europe was reduced, the forces in the Far East would be strengthened, which indirectly supported the battlefield in China.

Chen Cheng believes that it will not be so simple, the main force of the German army has always been in Soviet Russia, due to the counteroffensive action of the "China" country, the pressure of the Japanese army on the Soviet Russia has been greatly reduced, and the Soviet Russia will only attack when the "Japan" is extremely weak, and simply put, the Soviet Russia will only attack when the "China" country has almost wiped out the Japanese army.

Chen Cheng's point of view was supported by Bai Sitong, who knew more about European affairs, and in his view, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union had decided to put Europe first from the beginning of the war, and now they are still this strategy, no matter how the Asian battlefield changes, before the defeat of Germany, Soviet Russia will not transfer the main force back from Europe, and their possible offensive will only be after the decisive battle in North China.

Since participating in the Cairo Conference, Bai Sitong has been much bolder, and has dared to express his opinions on many occasions, and his opinions will be adopted by Chiang Kai-shek most of the time. Bai Sitong believes that the focus of tomorrow's discussion is likely to be on the second battlefield, on which China can support Soviet Russia, "However, on other issues, such as the division of power in post-war Europe, China should remain neutral or follow the United States."

Chiang Kai-shek still thought about the idea that came to his heart, weighed it left and right, felt sure for a while, and didn't succeed for a while, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally told everyone his thoughts. This sudden thought stunned everyone, and Bai Sitong, Chen Cheng, and Lin Wei all looked at Chiang Kai-shek in surprise.

Looking at their appearance, Chiang Kai-shek was a little disappointed, and couldn't help but think of Zhuang Jihua in his mind, if Zhuang Jihua was there, he would definitely be able to draw a conclusion within two minutes, and analyze the pros and cons of all aspects for him within five minutes, but now Chen Cheng and Lin Wei just looked at him a little sluggishly.

After two minutes, Chen Cheng reacted first," he looked at Chiang Kai-shek in thought and said: "The Japanese forces in Mongolia are either transferred to North China, or attracted to the north by the counterattack of the Soviet army, if a strong force is sent from the Suiyuan area into Mongolia at this time, I think we can succeed." "Militarily speaking" can be successful, we can chōu transfer Fu Zuoyi's department, Hu Zong's southern division, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and the Jin Suijun Army" Lin Wei also thought clearly at this time, and he immediately reported the number of the troops that were in Suiyuan, Shanxi, "The total strength of these troops is about 300,000 people.

"No, the Eighth Route Army must not be counted, if they were notified" would be tantamount to informing Stalin. Chen Cheng immediately objected, but Lin Wei did not refute "nodded at him in agreement.

"If you don't count the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, the total strength is only about 250,000." After Lin Wei finished speaking, he turned his head and asked Bai Sitong: "What about politics and foreign jiāo?" After the analysis of Lin Wei and Chen Cheng, Bai Sitong also reacted at this time, and he looked up at Chiang Kai-shek: "From the outside, our move is aimed at the Japanese army, and Stalin cannot oppose it, but after defeating the Japanese army, the Mongol army is bound to enter our occupied area, and then it will face an extremely serious situation outside the country, and the danger of a military conflict is extremely great." Chen Chengshen was grim, and he was still judging in his heart how much impact Chiang Kai-shek's sudden move would have on the decisive battle in North China, and once the "Central" team entered Mongolia, would the Japanese army sit idly by, and whether the Japanese troops occupying the Far East of Soviet Russia would come to the west on a large scale: once they sent a large amount of aid to the west, what kind of impact would it have on the situation in the Far East, and so on.

"Okay, let's think about this problem", Chiang Kai-shek actually didn't think about it, especially after Chōu transferred troops north to Mongolia, what impact it would have on the decisive battle in North China: "It's winter in Mongolia, Soviet Russia will not attack in winter, we still have plenty of time." ”

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he stood up: "Tomorrow's meeting, we should support Stalin, open a second battlefield in France, and it will be of great help to defeat Hitler, but there is one point, how much aid from the United States, rhetoric, is now being shipped to the country every month?" With the progress of the war, the domestic supplies are becoming more and more tight, and after the recovery of Shandong, the relief of refugees is a big problem. Chiang Kai-shek attached more and more importance to the US aid materials, and almost every month he had to take stock of the US aid materials that entered the "China" countries.

"Now it can reach 90,000 tons, and there is still a distance from 100,000 tons." Chen Cheng immediately reported the figures, and when preparing for the Tehran meeting, he specially investigated the US aid materials that enter the "China" country every month.

In fact, Chiang Kai-shek was also well aware of the situation of US aid materials, after the reopening of the Yunnan-Burma Road, the US aid materials entering China increased rapidly, but they still did not meet the requirement of 100,000 tons per month, the Jiangbei Theater attacked several times, and the logistical support mainly came from the materials produced by China itself, Guizhou and Yunnan successively built a large number of factories, and the original Sichuan factory was basically able to meet the operational needs of the Jiangbei Theater after more than a year of expansion.

But this is only able to meet the operational needs of one theater of operations, the Jiangnan Theater, the Second Theater, the Eighth Theater, especially the last two theaters, received very few materials, and the materials obtained were mainly equipped with Hu Zongnan's troops, Yan Xishan and Fu Zuoyi both complained, but Chiang Kai-shek ignored them.

"Judging from the current scale of operations, the amount of materials should reach 150,000 tons per month, otherwise it will not be able to meet the needs of domestic operations." Chiang Kai-shek's tone was very sure that Soviet Russia and Britain received millions of tons of supplies every month, and China had less than one-tenth of them: "Resignation, you have to put forward at the meeting of the chiefs of staff, it is best to let the United States transport the supplies directly to Qingdao, the United States has a strong navy, and this requirement should be satisfied." "Hmm" Chen Cheng hesitated and said: "Chairman, the US Navy has not yet broken through the absolute defense circle of the Japanese army, and only after occupying the Mariana Islands will it be possible to directly deliver supplies to our army." "There's nothing to blame, just bring it up." Chiang Kai-shek said expressionlessly.

Lin Wei hurriedly glanced at Chen Cheng: "The chairman is right, even if we make great sacrifices and wipe out the Japanese army in Korea, the US Navy cannot destroy the Japanese navy, and we will not be able to land on Japan." Chen Cheng immediately understood that Chiang Kai-shek asked him to put it forward at the meeting of the chiefs of staff, the purpose of which was to urge the US Navy to launch an attack on Japan as soon as possible, destroy the Japanese navy, contain the Japanese army, and force the Japanese army not to dare to transfer troops from Nanyang Chōu.

"I understand, it's still the chairman who is far-sighted and has no last resort." , Chen Cheng immediately patted Chiang Kai-shek's ass.

The next day, Chiang Kai-shek put on a regular "Chinese" suit, Song Meiling was busy beside him for a long time before he was satisfied, this military uniform is new, cut with an American nickname, straight and close-fitting, wearing this military uniform, making Chiang Kai-shek look very heroic. Song Meiling picked out a dark red satin cheongsam for herself, with a few plum huā on the cheongsam with a yellow line, and the collar was slightly raised, only exposing the white neck on the front.

At the entrance of the conference room, Chiang Kai-shek met Stalin, a stocky Stalin still dressed in yesterday's clothes, with the Order of Lenin still hanging on his chest, but with a pair of short boots on his feet.

Stalin did not expect that Soong Meiling would actually attend this meeting, Stalin's stout figure looked a little worse than Soong Meiling, and he was considered short among the Russians, so he was slightly flustered before greeting Soong Meiling first, and then gently shook Chiang Kai-shek's hand.

"Mr. Chairman, I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but unfortunately it was nearly twenty years late." Chiang Kai-shek was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Stalin was talking about the great revolution of the year, and if he had not launched April 12, the relations between China and the Soviet Union would have been completely different. Chiang Kai-shek was rather clumsy in words, and he didn't know how to fight back all of a sudden, so Song Meiling smiled lightly beside him: "Mr. Marshal, the chairman of the committee also wanted to visit you a long time ago, and sincerely asked you for advice on the development strategy of the [China] country, and jointly fight against the [Japanese] invaders, but unfortunately it has not been possible." ”

As soon as these words came out, Stalin immediately understood why Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling appeared at the meeting at the same time, this NV person was so interested, and he not only beat him back with his sarcastic words about Chiang Kai-shek, but also satirized Stalin, instigating the GCD of the "China" country to oppose the government, and also reminded him that when the "Japan" attacked Soviet Russia, the national government took the initiative to attack Japan, contain the Japanese army, and provide help to the Soviet army, and he had promised to directly send troops to help the "China" country fight the Japanese army, but in the end he was treacherous.

The two walked into the conference room together, Roosevelt was in a wheelchair, saw them come in, smiled at them, Churchill held his big cigar in his mouth, leaned in his chair, and did not seem to see Chiang Kai-shek and Stalin. Stalin snorted softly and stood there motionless, but Chiang Kai-shek still walked to his seat, and the sign had already been placed on the round table.

Song Meiling grabbed Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek was a little surprised, he turned his head to look at Song Meiling, Song Meiling gave him a look, Chiang Kai-shek noticed that Stalin stood at the mouth of the mén and did not move, looking at Roosevelt and Churchill majestically.

Roosevelt didn't move, just smiled at Stalin and Chiang Kai-shek, and said hello. Song Meiling has a very clear understanding of European and American etiquette, and she immediately understood that Stalin was pursuing Churchill's etiquette, Roosevelt was disabled, and it was understandable that he didn't get up when he saw them, and Churchill should stand up to greet him.

The scene was a little embarrassing, but Churchill didn't move, Stalin didn't move, Song Meiling thought about it for a while, took Chiang Kai-shek's arm and gently pushed him, Chiang Kai-shek still didn't know what was happening, but still followed Song Meiling's hint and walked straight to his seat.

According to the usual habits, Song Meiling should let go of her arm at this time, but at this time, Song Meiling tightened Chiang Kai-shek's arm, Chiang Kai-shek knew that something was wrong, Song Meiling took it lightly, and Chiang Kai-shek walked towards Roosevelt, and when they arrived in front of Roosevelt, the two of them had a question mark with Roosevelt.

Subsequently, under the hint of Soong Meiling, Chiang Kai-shek ignored Churchill, but walked straight back to his seat and sat down, Churchill's face suddenly turned purple.! ~！
