The US military delegation that arrived in Xi'an did not stay in Xi'an for long. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Under the guidance of Zuo Quan, after visiting the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and several military camps, the US military delegation put forward a request to continue advancing towards Yan'an.

For such a request, Zuo Quan naturally will not refuse. The fact that the members of these delegations were in Xi'an did make the guards nervous. After all, it is not easy to protect these people.

In the two days since the US delegation arrived in Xi'an, the intelligence department of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Xi'an, with the cooperation of the security units of the headquarters, killed and arrested several teams of spies and assassination delegations.

It can be said that this kind of intelligence secret war has also made the public security situation in Xi'an a little tense. Fortunately, the intelligence department of the Eighth Route Army has always attached great importance to the management of public security in Xi'an, and finally nothing happened.

Although Zuo Quan did not disclose these information to Major General Sam, they were still aware of the gunshots that rang out from time to time at the mission compound during the night. It seems that they came to Yan'an this time, which really annoyed some people.

When Major General Sam reported these information back to China, many US congressmen also said angrily: "It seems that those dwarf mules really don't want us to come into contact with the Eighth Route Army." Come to think of it, they really intend to dominate the interests of Asia! ”

Listening to the opinions of the congressmen, President Roosevelt also said in a timely manner: "Their behavior also further confirms our fears." But it can also be seen from this that they are still very worried about our contact with Yan'an.

Although our representatives were also assassinated by their spies when they were in Chongqing. But this time, they seemed to be in a hurry. This shows that they are more worried about the Eighth Route Army than they are about Chongqing.

Send a telegram to Major General Sam and ask him to leave for Yan'an as soon as possible. As far as I know, that's where the real core of the Eighth Route Army is located. The Japanese army wants to make a move there, but I'm afraid it's not as easy as Xi'an. ”

With Roosevelt's instructions, it was naturally difficult for Major General Sam and his entourage to stay in Xi'an for long. Even Rear Admiral Sam and others did not know that in order to prevent the Japanese army from provoking the US military, Roosevelt also decided to increase the investment in the US Navy.

After all, Roosevelt knew very well that the current army strength of the Japanese army was basically contained by the Chinese anti-Japanese war forces. However, the Japanese army's naval power is indeed unmatched in Asia. If the United States wants to show something, it must step up its naval buildup.

In addition, the European war that has started now has also made the United States feel some oppression. Even though Roosevelt had already decided, he would still adopt a policy of neutrality. But he knew that the war would be bigger than the First World War.

If he did not prepare in advance, he was also worried that the United States would be caught off guard when war came. Expanding armaments in advance can also ensure that the US military has the strength to protect its homeland at all times.

These things, He Zhengdao and others who are far away in Yan'an are naturally not very clear. After a night of closed-door meetings, even the leaders who had different opinions on the US military delegation's visit could not say anything more.

At the meeting, the words He Zhengdao said also gave these people a wake-up call. That is, in the future, when it comes to the core interests of Huaxia, if they can't put their identities right, I'm afraid that they will also be unable to secure their positions.

Although some leaders felt that He Zhengdao's words might have been hinted at by Taizu. But for this kind of speculation, He Zhengdao and Taizu did not explain anything. And this is also the first time that He Zhengdao expressed his personal opinion on the Soviet Union.

Although after the meeting, Ho Zhengdao knew that there would be people who had opinions about him. But He Zhengdao believes that when the Soviet Union signs the non-aggression pact with the little devils, I am afraid that these people will also know what it is like to be abandoned.

As the righteous path says, for the leaders of some countries, the interests of their country are their priority at all times. At least for the time being, Yan'an is not worth paying too much attention to by the Soviet Union.

In addition, the current policy of the Soviet Union is mostly inclined to expand its territory to Europe. As for the Far East, they felt that as long as the existing interests were guaranteed, they could meet their demands. After all, they are a country that straddles the Eurasian continent!

Three days later, the delegation, escorted by the headquarters guard regiment, finally arrived outside Yan'an. When the delegation arrived, Vice Chairman Zhou also welcomed the delegation at the city gate on behalf of the Eighth Route Army.

Looking at Zhou Enlai, who came to greet him, some people in the US military delegation quickly said happily: "General Sam, it's Mr. Zhou!" ”

For many consuls and military attachés in China, many of them have been in contact with and dealt with the vice chairman of Yan'an. In the eyes of many people, Zhou Enlai is undoubtedly a model of a Confucian general who is both civil and military.

In addition, even in the national government and even in the national * army, Zhou Enlai's reputation is also very high. Listening to the introduction of his representatives, Major General Sam also knew that Zhou Enlai was also one of the powerful figures he needed to be treated with respect and courtesy.

'Hello, General Zhou! I take the liberty of bothering, but please take care of it! ’

'Hello, General Sam! You are welcome to visit Yan'an with the delegation. Major Barred, long time no see! ’

After shaking hands with the delegation with a smile, Zhou Enlai's cordiality and smile still infected the US military delegation. After shaking hands with the delegation, Zhou Enlai also introduced He Zhengdao who came out with him in a timely manner.

The young man who had thought that the young man standing next to Zhou Enlai was just his guard The representatives of the US military said in surprise: "Oh my God! You are General Ho? Isn't that incredible? ”

Some delegates exclaimed such words, and He Zhengdao also smiled and said in fluent English: "Welcome to Yan'an!" For your arrival, our party and the Eighth Route Army have extended a warm welcome.

If you don't mind, I think it's better to go to the city and talk about it, how about it? The chairman of our party and the commander-in-chief are waiting for your presence at the headquarters. It's just that our conditions are limited, and the hospitality is insufficient, so please forgive me! ”

After speaking such fluent English, Major General Sam also sighed: "General He, hello! When I was in the U.S. General Staff, I heard about your achievements many times. But I really didn't expect you to be so young.

General Zhou, in your Huaxia words, this may be able to describe General He as young and promising, right? The most surprising thing to me is that General He's language level actually makes me feel as if you have studied abroad. I wonder if I guessed right? ”

Facing Major General Sam's exclamation, Zhou Enlai also smiled and said: "General Sam, our General He is a real all-round talent in civil and military affairs. He was able to have the language skills he has now, all through self-taught, which is a real genius! ”

Regarding Zhou Enlai's evaluation, He Zhengdao shook his head and said: "Don't dare to be a genius!" It's just that I'm more keen on learning. After joining the army, I studied with some literate scholars in our army.

Fortunately, I have a good talent for languages, and it finally came in handy today. As for General Sam's reputation, all I can say is that you praise me too much. Everything I can have now is due to the party and the army.

In my party and army, there are many generals and officers who are more capable than me. The achievements I have created are more the result of the concerted efforts of the officers and men of the unit. Therefore, I hope that my presence does not disappoint you, General Sam! ”

Looking at He Zhengdao, who is generous and not humble or arrogant, Major General Sam is also very clear. If there is nothing wrong with the information they obtained, this young man will inevitably become an important leader in China in the future.

The most important thing is that He Zhengdao's age is still very young. This means that Ho Zhengdao has very great potential for the future. If Yan'an really has a chance to become the future ruling party in China, He Zhengdao is bound to become a second-generation leader.

This means that dealing with He Zhengdao well in advance will also help the United States in its China strategy in the future. Even if according to what they knew, the young man in front of them was a hawkish general, but he was just as worthy of their attention.

At a time when China is being invaded by foreign enemies, it is actually a good thing for many foreign governments to have such a military general who is good at fighting wars in China who hopes that Huaxia can contain the Japanese army.

It was also at this time that Major Bao Ruide, who had previously introduced the delegation, was also very curious: "General He, I have a presumptuous question I would like to ask you. Do you know a colonel of the Eighth Route Army named Xu Zhen? ”

Facing Bao Ruide's inquiry, He Zhengdao smiled and said: "This is naturally known!" He was my old subordinate and an officer I had taught. If I'm not mistaken, before you came to Shaanxi, he should have been in charge of your security work, right? ”

'Yes! It seems that my guess is correct, you should be the magical and powerful instructor in Colonel Xu's mouth, right? I would like to ask, why do you teach the soldiers of the army to learn foreign languages? At this point, I'm curious? ’

Regarding Bao Ruide's attitude of breaking the sand pot and asking questions to the end, He Zhengdao also said directly: "Teaching officers and soldiers to learn foreign languages is also to let them have an understanding of foreign cultures, and at the same time, let them have a higher cultural literacy."

But more importantly, I also think that in the future, our party and our party's troops will have the opportunity to come into contact with more foreign military units. As the pattern of warfare continues to change in the future, it is feared that our military will have more and more contacts with foreign armies.

If more officers are fluent in foreign languages, they can avoid many unnecessary conflicts when they come into contact with foreign troops. Of course, what I teach more is the mastery of the enemy's language. This can also work in war! ”

After such a frank remark came out, the US military delegation also felt a little surprised. But from He Zhengdao's words, it is not difficult for them to hear that the young general of the Eighth Route Army in front of them has great self-confidence and ambition.

From now on, the Eighth Route Army will be ready to make contacts with foreign armies. This means that He Zhengdao is convinced that the Eighth Route Army will become the national defense force of China in the future. Becoming a national defense force will naturally have more opportunities to contact and communicate with foreign armies!
