Unlike Lao Chiang, who pinned his hopes on the United States and Britain and other Western powers, Ma Zheng knew that it was impossible to count on the Americans to make a move at this time. At this time, the United States, like Britain and France, was full of vigilance and fear of the strong rise of the Red Soviet Union, and they all hoped that such a situation would emerge, that is, they hoped that Germany would kill to the east, and at the same time hoped that Japan would kill to the north, attack the socialist Soviet Union from the east of Europe and northeast China, and weaken or even eliminate the socialist Soviet Union.
It was precisely this strategy of weakening and even annihilating the Soviet Union, which was born out of extreme hatred of the Red Soviet Union, that caused the United States, Britain, and France to carry out a policy of appeasement and connivance against Germany in the west and Japan in the east for a long time.
As a matter of fact, both Germany and Japan have long understood the minds of the Western powers, so they boldly used this attempt to cover up their true intentions, linking their real goals with preventing the expansion of the Soviet Union, greatly reducing the hostility of the United States, Britain and other countries, and to a certain extent winning the support of the United States, Britain, France, and other countries.
As a matter of fact, the Americans had already exposed their sinister features when Japan invaded Northeast China, and although the United States verbally criticized Japan in order to deceive the international community and the domestic people, it provided practical support by supplying Japan's strategic materials. From the 918 Incident in 1931 to the end of 1932, the United States supplied $181 million in arms to Japan.
The United States not only continued to condone Japan's aggression and expansion and provided Japan with arms and equipment, but also invested heavily in Japan's munitions industry and helped Japan build a modern military industry. The Mellon consortium helped to further modernize the Japanese aircraft industry.
Japan understood the intentions of the United States, Britain and France, so it shouted anti-Soviet **** and took measures to worsen Soviet-Japanese relations, including attacking the Soviet border, in order to show that it was the main force that the United States, Britain and France had to borrow and rely on and could attack the Soviet Union nearby. On the other hand, it has wantonly invaded and expanded in China. Japan believes that the United States, Britain, and France will not dare to let out of Japan's aggression in China. And to punish them with practical actions, they must borrow Japan, the main force they rely on and can attack the Soviet Union nearby.
Because of the indulgence of the United States and others, Japan's invasion of China became even more presumptuous, and through the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, it launched a full-scale war of aggression against China.
However, Wilson obviously did not agree with Ma Zheng's words, and immediately retorted: "General, what you said is not right! Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese all-out war, the mainstream media in the United States have always sided with China, expressing respect and praise for the heroic struggle of the Chinese military and civilians, and at the same time condemning the heinous crimes of Japanese militarism. In addition to interests, there is also morality between countries. ”
"At the same time, we, the U.S. government, condemn Japan's bombing of Chinese civilians. Discourage the sale of American aircraft to areas where planes are used to bomb civilians. Last month, Greene, director of the United States ****** Arms Control Division, sent a letter of advice to 148 aircraft manufacturers and exporters, expressing that we, the United States Government, strongly oppose the sale of aircraft or aviation equipment to any country in any part of the world that engages in that kind of bombing. Accordingly, ****** would be extremely reluctant to issue any licence authorizing the direct or indirect export of any aircraft, aviation weapons, aircraft engines, aircraft components, aviation equipment accessories or aircraft bombs to countries that are using their military forces against civilian populations. ”
Ma Zheng nodded and said: "The sponsorship of international peace by the US Democratic Party, the condemnation of fascism by President Roosevelt, the sympathy of the Howard newspapers against China, and especially the solidarity of the broad masses of the American people against China's resistance against Japan are all welcome and grateful to us. But for such a large country as the United States. It's not enough to just do a superficial article. ”
Wilson immediately said: "General, you are talking about superficial articles. Are you doubting the sincerity of the United States? ”
Ma Zheng shook his head and said: "I don't need to doubt, there is no need, it turns out that except for the solidarity of the American people is true, the rest are fake and hypocritical." ”
Look at Wilson with an ugly face. Ma Zheng continued: "There is an old saying in China that facts speak louder than words, and lies are self-defeating! Whether the US government really sympathizes with the Chinese people, whether it stands on the side of justice, is it easy to distinguish the true from the false. As far as I know, compared to last year, the US monopoly capitalists have not reduced their material exports to Japan. On the contrary, it has increased several times. The value of the planes sold by the United States to Japan alone has increased by $15 million compared to last year, which is enough to show the hypocrisy of the so-called moral embargo imposed by the Roosevelt administration. ”
Seeing that the reporters at the scene were all aimed at him, almost all of the people's eyes were attracted, and Ma Zheng continued to say loudly: "Japan, which is congenitally deficient, relies on imports of almost all the military raw materials needed to invade China, and the United States imports the most, and in 1937 it even accounted for 54.4 percent. In other words, when Japan killed a million people in China, 544,000 people were killed with the help of American arms. ”
"Please remember that when Japan killed a million people in China, 544,000 were killed by American accomplices. As a Chinese general, I call on the West to sanction Japan and aid China, and not to act as an accomplice and lackey for the fascist countries! ”
Wilson said a little unnaturally: "General, these are all government actions, and they have nothing to do with the American people!" In fact, the vast majority of Americans are sympathetic to China, and two years ago there was even a seamen's strike on the West Coast, opposing the sale of military supplies to Japan for its invasion of China. ”
Ma Zheng shook his head and said: "I don't deny that some Americans do have justice in their hearts, but the justice of individual people cannot change the government's decision, and at the same time, it cannot change the disgraceful role played by the United States in this war." It is impossible for such a government to win the approval of the people of the world, let alone bring endless disasters to its own people! ”
"Your Excellency, what is the disaster you are talking about, and can you be specific?" Wilson asked again.
"Japan is a wolf that cannot be fed, how the Americans help them equip their army today, tomorrow the Americans will see how the Japanese they are armed with will clean them up. Mr. Wilson, you can send my words back to the United States word for word, and just say that a Chinese general said that the current policy of conniving at Japan implemented by the United States not only hurts the feelings of the Chinese people and the Chinese Government, but also hurts the Americans. Ma Zheng said.
"Your Excellency, do you think a war may break out between the United States and Japan?" Wilson asked, frowning.
"Not a possibility, but a certainty, and within three years!" Ma Zheng said.
"Do you have any evidence?" Wilson asked again.
Ma Zheng smiled and said, "You can take this as a prophecy of a Chinese general!" ”
There will inevitably be a war between the United States and Japan, Ma Zheng has no doubt about this.
Feeling that what he said was almost enough, Ma Zheng summed up again: "Because we are a weak country, there is no chance of compromise once the war starts, and if we give up the size of land and sovereignty, we will be the sinners of the Chinese nation through the ages." Therefore, at this time, we can only fight for the life of the whole nation, and seek our final victory. ”
"Looking at the so-called mainland policy formulated by the Japanese government, the goal is not only China, but also the areas that Japan wants to dominate and colonize include Southeast Asia, South Asia, and even Northeast Asia. I think that with Japan's expansionist ambitions, the final outcome will inevitably be a mass attack, and perhaps there will be the participation of Britain, the United States, France, and the Soviet Union. Time will tell, you just think of this as a prophecy of mine, whether it can be fulfilled or not, let time prove it itself, right? ”
After speaking, Ma Zheng left a group of silent reporters and strode away from the scene! (To be continued.) )
