Blind was speechless, the scene suddenly cooled down, and the atmosphere began to become a little tense, Zhuang Jihua had both anger and helplessness in his heart, anger at the arrogance of the British, and helplessness at China's international status.

"Colonel Blind," Deng Wenyi felt that such a stalemate would not be good for both sides, so he tried to ease the atmosphere: "Today we can sit together to explain your country's worries, once your country's worries become a reality, then your country will inevitably face a two-front battle, General Blind, since we want to cooperate, can you tell us how we can cooperate once the Chinese army attacks Burma and Thailand?" ”

"As I said earlier, we need logistical support from your country, especially in northern Myanmar, and in Hong Kong, we want to get your country's armed support." Blind's expression remained unmoved, still sticking to his earlier assertions.

"Hong Kong has no value to hold onto, Guangzhou has been lost, and we cannot directly support Hong Kong," Deng Wenyi shook his head and said: "What's more, it is said that Hong Kong has a strong navy, and the value of Hong Kong's existence lies in commerce and trade, and there is no strategy in itself, so there is no need to stick to Hong Kong." ”

"We can discuss the Hong Kong issue again, but the British Imperial Navy is the most powerful navy in the world," Blind gave in, as a soldier, of course, he knew that Hong Kong was only valuable against China, but the attitude of the Chinese made him feel a little dissatisfied, and the pride of the [***] people of the Emperor made him move out of the British Navy.

"Britain is very strong, but the main force is probably going to stay in the Atlantic," Zhuang Jihua said slowly, looking down on the British more and more in his heart, or officers, not to mention himself, even if the Chinese [***] team now wants to clean up the British army in Southeast Asia, it is a piece of cake: "Burma is of great strategic significance to our country, the Yunnan-Burma road is very important to us, and we need at least 200,000 people to hold Burma, so our opinion is that if the army goes south, we will send troops into Burma, and the sooner the better, our troops into Burma are five armies, In addition, the Burma Theater was established to command the Chinese and British forces in a unified manner, and the commanders were Chinese generals. The above is our basic opinion. ”

Blind heard Zhuang Jihua's series of demands, and a disapproving expression appeared on his face, in history, China was the suzerainty of Burma, and the treaty of transferring Burma was signed with the Qing government axe in Yanjing, and the British political axe was unwilling and would not agree to China's return to Burma, which was even more terrible than himself.

"Your people don't provide us with much help," Blind said that the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, looking a little arrogant: "In addition to logistics, we hope that your country can assist us in defending Burma after the Yue army attacks Burma, and attack the flank of the Yue army from Yunnan." ”

Zhuang Jihua's heart suddenly became vigilant, attacking the flank of the Yue army from Yunnan, if Yunnan is the flank of the Yue army, then where is the British army? It can only be on the India-Burma border, he smiled coldly: "Attack the flank of the army, we can do this, but what I want to know is, where was your [***] team at that time?" In India or Myanmar? ”

Blindton said that the Far East Command had put forward a battle plan, the core of which was to defend Singapore and India, and the rest of the country could keep it, and if it couldn't be defended, it would be abandoned.

"It seems that your country does not have the confidence to defend Burma," Zhuang Jihua's anger in his heart was even stronger, he had a sense of shame of teasing, you don't even plan to defend Burma, but let us help you defend Hong Kong, isn't it funny! Suppressing his anger, he said coldly: "Burma is very important to us, we hope that you can hold Burma, but if you can't hold Burma, we can help you, but the premise is that trust, we have a common enemy, but we don't trust each other, so now to talk about this, the conditions are not yet ripe, I hope that the next time I sit in this position, I can hear your country's battle plan." ”

The negotiation ended like this, only half an hour, Zhou Liyi sighed in his heart, these soldiers, how can diplomatic negotiations be so easy, they need patience, they need to slowly negotiate with the other party, like this, there will never be a result, let them understand how difficult diplomacy is.

"These Brits, arrogance has penetrated into their bones." Bai Sitong looked at Blind's car and sighed hatefully.

"Wait a minute, Brother Xue Bing, let's go shopping, I didn't expect Lao Lu to hide this kind of place, it's really a good place to escape the summer." Zhuang Jihua did not see any depression, he was still in good spirits, and walked along the green path.

Of course, Deng Wenyi would not refuse, the two of them walked slowly along the path to the river, the path haunted the trees by the river, the river breeze was gentle, the leaves made a rattling sound, and they knew that they were chirping in the forest one by one.

"Xue Bing, the Political Department is in the hands of you and Brother Enlargement, there are some things that you discuss with Brother Enlargement, and respect his opinion." Zhuang Jihua didn't have a careful chat with Deng Wenyi yesterday, and plans to talk to him today and arrange future work.

"Understood." Deng Wenyi understood what Zhuang Jihua meant, this was to ask him not to fight for power and bully Zeng Guangqing, an honest man.

"After some period of rectification, the situation in Guizhou has become better, and the work of the Political Department is mainly to mobilize the masses, organize trade unions and peasant associations, and vigorously grasp grain control; Guizhou's self-production is insufficient, and it has to be transferred from other places every year, but there are also large grain households and smugglers." Zhuang Jihua searched and said.

Since the hot hand disposed of the Dushan Tongren Security Corps and the squire, the squires in Guizhou are much more honest and no longer dare to fight obviously, but the small actions in the secret continue, and the bandits in Guizhou have been greatly reduced after being exterminated some time ago, and the large bandits have been basically eliminated, and the remaining small bandits have fled, and the social order has improved significantly.

"Social reform will continue," Zhuang Jihua continued according to the train of thought: "Guizhou people are poor, and being a soldier to eat food is a way out, but with the deepening of Guizhou's development, factories need a large number of laborers, which solves the problem of part of the surplus labor force in the countryside. ”

Deng Wenyi listened and thought about it, and he felt that Zhuang Jihua was warning himself not to implement the fascism of the Blue Coat Society in Guizhou, and that Guizhou's reform and construction should be carried out in accordance with his thinking.

"I understand that I am not very familiar with social reform, and Brother Expansion has worked in Sichuan and has experience, so I will ask him for more advice." Deng Wenyi completely lost the prestige of the year, to be honest, facing Zhuang Jihua alone, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, when Zhuang Jihua first returned to China, he was very dissatisfied with his killing in Guangzhou when he was cleaning up the party, and he didn't save face at all. But now he came forward to pull him out of the quagmire, and he didn't know what his idea was, so he lowered his posture very low.

Zhuang Jihua stopped and turned to look at him, Deng Wenyi was a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't know that he was wrong, Zhuang Jihua sighed slightly in his heart: "Xue Bing, when Anding first came, I also talked with him openly and honestly once, and today we are also open and honest." When you come to Guizhou, I have two worries, on the one hand, I am worried that you will still do what the fascists do, and the Blue Coat Society has actually proved that it will not work, and I have a comprehensive plan for social reform in Guizhou, and I am worried that you will disrupt the situation. ”

"You can rest assured of this," Deng Wenyi replied immediately, he said with a wry smile: "Kang Ze has changed his course, what else do I insist on." I got away with it, and what else can I hope for. ”

"Xue Bing, your appearance is my second worry," Zhuang Jihua said: "I'm worried that you will sink, you look at stability, the original stability suffered more than you, but he didn't sink, what should he do is still done, he didn't lose the fighting spirit of Huangpu, and then said in the field." Among the Huangpu classmates, there are a lot of ups and downs, some people have sunk, some people have regained their strength, I hope you can cheer up, if you only want to be stable, then it really disappoints me with some hard work. ”

Deng Wenyi was greatly moved, he and Zhuang Jihua stumbled in Huangpu, but now they are working hard for themselves, his eyes are red, and his voice is a little choked: "Cultural Revolution,...。 ”

"Do it well," Zhuang Jihua patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Don't have a shadow in your heart, take out your momentum in Wuhan to purge officialdom, and do it boldly." ”

"Don't worry, I'll listen to you."

Zhuang Jihua felt a little comforted in his heart, hoping that he would listen. The two of them went down to the river, looking at the clear water, Zhuang Jihua's childlike heart rose, took off his riding boots, and played in the river barefoot.

"It's a pity that I didn't have swim trunks, so I really wanted to swim in the water." Zhuang Jihua said loudly.

"Forget it, the water here is urgent, it's not safe, you have to swim, and the hot spring in front of you is much better than this." Deng Wenyi said with a smile: "People who are almost forty, a dignified general, you are going to be seen by the principal and Director Deng, and you will be reprimanded again." ”

Zhuang Jihua bent down to pick up the water, washed his face, the cool river water, and the 100,000 pores on his body were opened, comfortable.

"This person, you can't be too restrained," Zhuang Jihua said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, if you fall behind, I appreciate the kind of informality, the world is wide, let me soar, what can't I give up." Packed in a sleeve all day, not tired. ”

Deng Wenyi heard the meaning of the exhortation, he was very grateful, Zhuang Jihua took into account his self-esteem everywhere, for fear of hurting him, and encouraged him vigorously, what else could he say.

He also took off his riding boots, also took off his shirt, wore a white shirt, uncovered the two buttons on it to face the river breeze, and the two of them had a good time by the water.

This open space is not hidden, above is the pavilion of the hotel, Bai Sitong and Zhou Liyi are drinking tea in the pavilion and watching them play below.

"Director Zhuang really doesn't know what he thinks, he announced the end of the reopening of the Yunnan-Burma Highway without talking about it, how could the chairman let him preside over it." Zhou Liyi looked at the two people below and couldn't help sighing.

Bai Sitong gently brushed the bowl with a bowl, took a sip before putting it down, and then smiled and said, "Who knows? The chairman of the NPC National Committee naturally has his reasons for letting him come, but, Lao Zhou, don't underestimate him, he may not understand the diplomatic procedures, but it is by no means ignorant of the international situation, in Guangzhou, the British have suffered his losses, my feeling is that since he does not talk about the Yunnan-Burma Highway, it means that the reopening of the Yunnan-Burma Highway is already in the hands of the fingers, and there is no need to talk about it anymore. ”

Roosevelt wrote to Churchill several times for this reason, clearly proposing to reopen the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and Churchill could ignore China's demands, but he must not sell the face of the United States.

During Curie's visit, he had already hinted to Chiang Kai-shek that the United States supported China on the Yunnan-Burma Highway, so Zhuang Jihua did not mention it at all today, and focused the talks on the Burma war.
