Chapter 659: You Treat, I Came
On the afternoon of November 2, 1943, Chongqing, a small restaurant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It's winter, the fog is heavy, and the sun is not visible all day long. Although it avoided the suffering of bombing by Japanese planes, it also made people feel depressed after not seeing the light of day for a long time. Especially those who go down the river, especially uncomfortable. Fortunately, there are some good places to go in Chongqing in winter, those who have some money can go to hotels and restaurants to pass the time, and those who have no money can go to the theater.
Therefore, Chongqing's restaurants and theaters are very developed.
There were two people sitting in a private room in the small hotel, one was about fifty years old, with round glasses, a suit and leather shoes, and a cigar in his hand, a very gentleman, and the other was a young man in his thirties. The two of them each had a cup of tea in front of them and were chatting.
These two people are Yan Baohang and Xiao Lu.
Xiaolu said: "Sir, just rest assured, this small hotel is our own, and this private room is also very secret." Let's talk about it openly, there will be no problems. When Mr. Wang arrives at the front desk, someone will take him here. Don't worry. ā
Yan Baohang: "The future is terrifying. I'll replace wine with tea here, so I'll toast you first. ā
Xiaolu hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." I have always regarded myself as a junior in front of you, and my predecessors must not say that. ā
Yan Baohang: "You have restored my hometown, can I not be happy?" Do you know how much I drank that day? ā
Xiaolu said: "Then I can imagine. When it comes to personal contributions, no one has contributed more than you, sir. Without your skillful turnaround, Japan and Germany would not have made such a big mistake, and we would not have had such a good chance, and in that way, I don't know how many more people would have died. So, I want to toast you. ā
Yan Baohang: "I have a wish." ā
Xiaolu said: "I was thinking on the way here, you must have an idea, do you want to go back to your hometown to work?" ā
Yan Baohang: "You are the only one who knows me." I would love to go back to Tohoku to work. ā
Xiaolu said: "I'm the only one who doesn't say it's accurate, at least Duke Zhou and Duke Mao know about you." ā
Yan Baohang: "Think about it. I can do whatever I want when I go back, as long as I'm in the sun, I'm happy to do anything. ā
Xiaolu said: "Of course, I personally hope that you will go back, what the Northeast lacks most now is talents like you who have experience and understand the Northeast, and the Northeast lacks senior officials." However, Mao Gongzhou Gong believed that your temporary stay in Chongqing would have a huge effect on the war and even in the future construction of New China. According to my analysis, in the future, when New China is established, you will also have to work in the central government. We still have a little time, and I'd like to share with you my thoughts on how to win the war. ā
Yan Baohang: "I knew you wouldn't agree to me going back, you say." I'm listening. ā
Xiaolu said: "The predecessors really wronged me. My original idea, the newly recovered provinces and cities in the Northeast, the governors and mayors, you pick by yourself. I asked Yan'an for you to return to the Northeast, and I asked Yan'an to find out about Yan'an's arrangements for you. Then, he gave his estimate of the development of the situation in the next two years and his own strategic vision. These ideas were discussed with Mao Gong once in Yan'an, and once with Zhou Gong in Chongqing, and Yan Baohang was the third person.
Xiao Lu talked to him for half an hour, and at the end, Yan Baohang said, "I understand what you mean." It is necessary to weaken not only Germany and Japan, but also the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union. Good. In this way, China has a place. It's a big deal. Thank you for your trust in me. ā
Xiaolu said: "Then this matter is like this. Tell me about the person we're going to meet today, Wang Chonghui. ā
Yan Baohang said: "Wang Chonghui is a person who is very accomplished in law and a talent, so I strongly recommend that you see him once." The previous stage of negotiations with the Soviet Union was remarkable. It's a pity that he is too close to Lao Jiang, which I don't like very much. ā
Xiaolu said: "His family has a deep relationship with Sun Yat-sen's father, right?" ā
Yan Baohang said: "The father of the country has a very close relationship with his father, and he even risked his life to attend his brother's wedding. It's also a good story. Wang Chonghui himself is a humble gentleman. ā
Xiaolu said: "When he was studying in Japan, he refused to be a woman's seduction, is it true or false?" ā
Yan Baohang said: "Only he can figure out this matter himself. When he was in the Beiyang government, he was able to maneuver between the powerful factions of warlords and gags, but he still survived. His nickname is 'Method'. Do you know? ā
Xiaolu said: "I heard a little, I don't know why. ā
Yan Baohang said: "He doesn't need a cook at home, and he doesn't open the fire. He often went to the house of Luo Wengan and others, and sat until six or seven o'clock without leaving. The master left him to eat, and he had to be polite once again, saying, 'It's still early, let's go back and eat.' When he kept him any longer, he said: 'Is there any beer?' I'll eat here if I have wine. That's the first way. If the master does not open his mouth to keep the food, he will say, 'What can be done?' Shall we go out to eat at a restaurant? I'm here to invite you. Naturally, the master left him to eat. This is the second option. If he really goes out to eat in a restaurant, everyone grabs the money after eating, and he always falls behind. This is the third option. Sometimes people don't be polite to him and let him go to the checkout, and he has a fourth way: he slaps his pocket and shouts, 'Hey, you can't go!' Today I forgot to bring the money. āā
Xiaolu said: "It's really a strange flower." ā
Yan Baohang said: "He is very suitable for diplomacy, proficient in law, knows the rules of foreigners, has a quick brain, and is clever in words." There were also some bright spots in his diplomatic career. In 33 years, he attended the League of Nations Congress and argued with the Japanese. It was on this basis that I had a personal friendship with him. ā
Xiaolu said: "The country is poor and weak, gags, and diplomats are not easy to do." ā
Yan Baohang said: "He has had a great influence on foreign policy over the years. However, it is limited to finding a little advantage in the gap between the big powers. Coupled with the cowardice of the national government, where can there be any real diplomacy. ā
Xiaolu said: "I heard that the first non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union was signed with his participation. ā
Yan Baohang said: "Yes. In 1937, he attended the congress of the League of Nations. There was no condemnation of Japan at all. Therefore, although they wanted to be pro-British and American, they had no choice but to enter with the Soviet Union and sign this agreement. As soon as the agreement was signed, the USSR began to assist us. The Soviet Air Force still fought against the Japanese. ā
"This is one of the roots of the conflict between Japan and the USSR in 39. ā
Yan Baohang said: "He can quarrel and scold in international occasions, what else can he do?" Our team fought well in the northeastern part of the USSR, and they talked about it well. It's a pity that a group of people don't know what is going on with them, and they sing carols and offer Jiuding, really. ā
Xiaolu was about to say something when there was a knock on the door outside.
Yan Baohang said: "It's here." Getting up to open the door, a man in his sixties walked in with his hair parted and two beards. This person is also in a suit and leather shoes, very gentlemanly, it is Wang Chonghui, and the word is bright.
Yan Baohang said: "Brother Liangchou, as soon as you come, our dinner will be over." I'm just afraid you won't come. ā
Wang Chonghui said: "Didn't you treat you?" I said that you have a treat, and I am here. What are you going to invite today? I think we'll make some hot pot and eat it. Don't eat Western food all the time. It's winter, and it's not suitable for a beer salad or anything. Chongqing hot pot, the red oil is bright, the pepper is red and hot, the pepper is small and the meat is numb, the meat is fresh and tender when the meat is over the water, and the taste is excellent in the vegetable shabu. It is easy to eat and invigorate the muscles and blood, and the spring white snow and the lower riba people are suitable for both. I think it's good. ā
Yan Baohang said: "Let me introduce, this is the commander-in-chief of the road. ā
Wang Chonghui said: "Commander-in-Chief Lu? Commander-in-Chief of the Road in the Northeast? So young? ā
Xiaolu said: "It's me." Mr. Wang, long admiral, long admiral. Mr. Wang is the recipient of China's first university diploma, a master of law, a great diplomat, and you are a witness to history. ā
Wang Chonghui said: "The first diploma can only be said to be the first number of the first batch of diplomas. Everyone dare not take the law, and the great diplomats dare not take it. With the help of the Soviet Union, Commander-in-Chief Lu fought bravely and achieved outstanding results, which is gratifying. ā
Xiaolu said: "Mr. Wang's words are wrong, it seems that Mr. Wang is not very familiar with diplomacy with the Soviet Union. The army where a certain was in did not receive a penny from the USSR for nothing. Taking other people's things for nothing, with a short mouth and soft hands, is not a good way. If that's the case, what autonomy is there in relying on external aid? It is bound to be snorting everywhere. If we really do that, Mr. Wang will not be able to do a good job in the diplomatic work of the Soviet Union in the future. How dare the younger generation add difficulties and burdens to the seniors? ā
Wang Chonghui said: "Really? Didn't come to that aid from the Soviet Union? ā
Yan Baohang said: "Let's sit down and talk. Brother Liangchou, it seems that you really don't know why your negotiation went so well. You diplomat is incompetent, and I must punish you for your treat. You win, but you don't know how. In ancient and modern times, are there such confused diplomats? ā
The three of them sat down and said, "I know, Chongqing here thinks that I am supported by the Soviet Union, but in fact, these people are analyzing our troops according to their own way of thinking." I have to say, these people may also include you, Mr. Wang. ā
Wang Chonghui said: "Commander-in-Chief Lu is quick to speak, I do think so. "But I said in my heart that I heard the inside news from Lao Jiang.
Xiaolu said: "Do you know how my first money came from? You can't think of it, it's a robbery. Who's robbed? The ** Pavilion of the Northeast. These ** pavilions are the source of military spending for the Japanese. So, I first robbed the traitor's ** hall, then the North Koreans' ** hall, and then the Japanese ** hall. Then, I fought against cultivation in the countryside, and in a few years, the Japanese reduced their military spending, and our military spending increased. At that time, I incorporated the Northeast Anti-Japanese Armed Forces, and I made a move with fifty gold bars. ā
Wang Chonghui said: "I've heard of you robbing the ** hall." It was written in the newspaper. But didn't you get a few batches of Soviet supplies and munitions later? ā
Xiaolu said: "I'll tell you how my Soviet supplies came from." At that time, the Soviet Union and Japan were on guard against each other, both built reinforced concrete fortifications and fortresses, and also deployed a large number of troops in the relevant places. At that time, the Soviet Union's spy system was seriously damaged, so I collected a lot of information and used it to exchange the first batch of supplies with the Soviet Union. Later, the Japanese and the Soviets fought at Nomenkan. Of course I can't be idle. Ask to go to war, exchange for some supplies. The Soviets asked us to harass the rear of the enemy, and in return gave us the equipment of a division. As a result, we desperately crossed the mountains and mountains, and when the Soviets were about to lose their support, we reached the front line and defeated the Japanese in one fell swoop. On that occasion, we captured a large number of Japanese weapons, and all the scrap metal was brought back. ā
Wang Chonghui said: "I have also heard about this matter. ā
Xiaolu said: "With these weapons, these rags, we have won many battles in the northeast, of course, our losses are also very large, and we were defeated for a time. However, because the Japanese rushed forward and attacked the Soviet army with the German army, this was a strategic mistake, and as soon as we attacked, the Japanese army faced a situation of being attacked on both sides, and in this way, we took advantage of the emptiness of the northeast army and took the northeast. He then cooperated with the Soviet army and defeated the Japanese army in the Soviet Union. ā
Wang Chonghui said: "I have heard of these things. ā
Xiaolu said: "We did not accept a penny of aid from the Soviet Union, so the Soviet Union did not have the capital to order us at all, so it had to negotiate with us." We will propose the abolition of the unequal treaty. The Soviets thought we were too difficult to talk to, so they advocated talking to you, but they didn't expect that with a master like you, there would be no loss in negotiations. ā
Wang Chonghui said: "Connect these things, and the whole context will be clear." In fact, I know that without the victory of the army, it is impossible to win the negotiations. ā
