When the U.S. military delegation arrived in Xi'an to begin resting, the caves in Yan'an were still brightly lit. The pen "Fun" Pavilion had just received www.biquge.info telegram from Zuo Quan, and the people who were still not resting also began to discuss the next reception.

Regarding the arrival of the US delegation, everyone knows that the US military wants to make contact with the Eighth Route Army. But the extent of this contact is worth their careful study and speculation.

As the deputy head of the reception group of Taizu's mission, He Zhengdao is naturally qualified to join this discussion. The head of the reception group is actually in charge of Vice Chairman Zhou. After all, his foreign language skills are also very high.

On the other hand, Taizu and Mr. Zhu and others were more likely to participate in negotiations and meetings. Naturally, they will not be responsible for the specific reception matters. In general, such a reception specification is undoubtedly very high.

When it comes to the issue of contacts with the United States, the Soviet Union cannot be bypassed. As a big brother, even if I don't want to see him in recent years. But if you want to put aside the big brother and cooperate with the United States, I am afraid that many people will find it inappropriate.

Listening to the results of the discussion with some different opinions, Taizu, who was a little worried while smoking, also said in a timely manner: "Xiao He, you are the youngest military and political cadre of our party and our army, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Facing Taizu's roll call, He Zhengdao thought for a while and said: "Chairman, leaders, I think it's a bit too early to talk about cooperation or other things, right?" After all, we don't really know what they are coming for.

Whether it's Big Brother or the U.S. military delegation at the moment, we can treat them as friends. Whoever is willing to help us fight is our friend. I don't think any of the leaders have any objection to this, right? ”

Perhaps the state program implemented by the Soviet Union and the United States is somewhat different, one representing communism and the other representing capitalism. In the eyes of many, these are two completely opposite political programs.

But He Zhengdao put aside this form of government and directly pulled it to the matter of the War of Resistance. After listening to it, everyone also felt that it made sense. After all, it is too far away to talk about other things now, and how to win the war of resistance is the most important.

Soon Vice Chairman Zhou said, "Go on!" ”

With Vice Chairman Zhou's signal, He Zhengdao continued: "According to the current situation we have obtained, Big Brother has reduced or even stopped giving us military aid and loans. Even with these things, we don't actually get anything.

But it is undeniable that the military aid and loans provided by Big Brother earlier have really helped us a lot. But at this time, they suddenly cut these military aid and loans, which is still unfavorable for the overall situation of the entire Anti-Japanese War.

In fact, the reduction of military aid and loans for Big Brother is very detrimental to the national war of resistance from the overall point of view. But for us, in fact, the impact is not great, and it should be the people in Chongqing who are really anxious.

And now the largest military aid and loans to them have actually been replaced by the US government. It is not clear, however, whether such assistance is politically conditional. But after all, they still gave us a boost in the war of resistance.

We also met with Big Brother earlier, and they felt that we were not the ruling party, and that it was a bit unjustifiable to provide us with military aid and loans. Well, we can't force anything, after all, the money and weapons belong to them.

But you should all know that since we have established trade with them. In fact, most of the funds we have accumulated have flowed to Big Brother, and they have also exchanged for some machinery and equipment and materials that we urgently need.

Looking at this from my personal point of view, I feel that I should miss them. But from the perspective of the country, or from the perspective of comrades and allies, I think what they are doing is not authentic.

After all, we all treat them as comrades and big brothers. But why, is Big Brother willing to give money and weapons to our opponents rather than give us some interest-free loans to buy their machinery and equipment? ”

In front of Taizu and others, He Zhengdao can be blunt. But in this kind of meeting, He Zhengdao talks about some things, and his tone is naturally a little more leisurely. However, this kind of rhetorical question still embarrassed some leaders.

Just because no one talks about some truths doesn't mean that others can't see through them. In fact, many people are a little dissatisfied with the Soviet Union's military aid and loans to China, and feel that this big brother is not doing things properly.

While calling Yan'an a comrade in China, he had to collect money for buying and selling things. In many cases, they even hope that Yan'an will give them more cooperation and even preferential policies.

Now He Zhengdao has put this matter aside from the table to talk about it, even if some of the leaders attending the meeting have a great favorable impression of the Soviet Union. But in this kind of thing, they also did not know how to speak for the USSR!

After a pause, He Zhengdao continued: "Now Chongqing relies on the Yunnan-Shenyang Highway to continuously receive material and financial assistance from the international community. But for us, it seems that there is only one external channel for the big brother of the Soviet Union.

If we can recover the whole of North China in the future, maybe we can also have our own ports to the outside world. But in this situation, it is not easy to be afraid of the materials that you want to buy from abroad.

But we can imagine how much it would be for our development if we could establish cooperative relations with countries in Europe and the United States, and get the funds from them that we need most urgently to buy their equipment and materials.

Today's U.S. economy is growing rapidly, and their industrial manufacturing capacity is also very strong. In addition, they are located in North America, and they are also some distance away from Europe. I believe that the current war in Europe will not affect them in a short time.

For the U.S. government, they have an opportunity to rise and grow. If we can reach cooperation with the European and American governments, and we can liberate North China to control one or two coastal ports, I believe they will show something.

At that time, as long as we sign the cooperation, the Americans will also be able to take the opportunity to dump their supplies into our country. Although they will make a lot of money through this kind of thing, they will also bring us something that is so much needed.

The most important thing is that as long as we can reach a cooperation intention with them, the only thing left to choose is the little devil. They will certainly not sit idly by and watch the Americans transport us the machinery and equipment and materials we need.

Then we can imagine that the Americans, who want to make money from China to expand their interests in Asia, will naturally get involved with the little devils and even break out into conflict. Is there a greater benefit to us once they are opposed? ”

As soon as this hypothesis was thrown, everyone also felt that their eyes lit up. Everyone knows that the enemy of the enemy is the friend. If at this time, if the Americans can be dragged into the water, it will really have a great effect on the Chinese War of Resistance.

But soon a chief questioned: "Americans shouldn't be so stupid, right?" ”

'Indeed! I believe that the Americans also know that there are certain risks associated with cooperating with us. But for people in capitalist countries, as long as they find it profitable, they will try their best to solve those problems and obstacles.

In today's Asia, China is undoubtedly the most populous country, and our consumption potential is undoubtedly huge. The reason why the Americans are willing to provide financial support to Chongqing is to develop their interests in China.

Now they want to visit Yan'an, but they also feel that Chongqing is only afraid that it is a little unreliable. After all, they should know that the current cooperation between our two parties and two armies is probably more temporary.

In the future, once our party and our army gain the leading power of the state, then we can deny all the things that the Chongqing government has promised. This means that the war investment made by the Americans is likely to come to naught.

Most importantly, these Americans also have colonies in Asia. Faced with the pace of Japanese expansion, they were equally concerned about the loss of the interests of these colonies. To ensure the security of their colonies, they also needed allies in Asia.

This ally can help them contain the Japanese and discourage them from invading other places. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why Americans are willing to invest in the Chongqing government. But now, we also have the potential and capital to do that.

If they can make friends with us in advance, maybe they will be able to get more benefits when we form a new government in the future. For example, some concessions for business and foreign trade can make their businessmen more money.

Therefore, whether it is the big brother of the Soviet Union or the Americans who are about to visit, I don't think it is necessary to distinguish too clearly. As long as it is good for us, we can choose to work with them. We don't do anything good!

Another point, which is only my personal thought, is that at all times, our party always represents the interests of the Chinese workers and peasants. As long as we think more about the workers and peasants, the future victory will eventually belong to us! ’

There were some things that He Zhengdao didn't say too clearly, but he believed that these people should be able to understand the meaning of his words. That is, Yan'an today is a party representing China, not a party that obeys the orders of the Soviet Union.

At all times, the interests of the country must come first. As for the so-called comradeship or class brothers, He Zhengdao feels that it is pure. But there are some things that you can't say, and if you do, you will be in trouble!

Just when He Zhengdao said this, Mr. Zhu also said in a timely manner: "That's good! As long as it is beneficial to our party and our army, then we can do it, and we don't have to look too much at the eyes of outsiders. ”

It is self-evident who the so-called outsiders are. Even if the expressions of several pro-Soviet factions at the meeting were a little bad, they also knew it. Nowadays, in the party and the military, they actually don't have much right to speak and power.

In particular, He Zhengdao, who spoke earlier, is a staunch supporter and supporter of the localists. Coupled with Mr. Zhu, the commander-in-chief, and Taizu, who was born in the country, they want to reverse the situation in the party, but I'm afraid it's not so easy!
