Ouyang Jian and his wife said goodbye to Xu Xiangqian, who came to see them off, at Lanzhou Airport, and then boarded the plane and flew directly to Chongqing. After the plane flew smoothly in the air, Mei Fang asked distressedly: "Ouyang, I haven't seen each other for half a month, and I left in a hurry as soon as I met. "There's no way, it's Lao Jiang who is anxious to let me go back!" "Could it be a military secret again?" Mei Fang's tone was a little sarcastic. Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "Lao Chiang asked me to return to Chongqing in a hurry because US President Roosevelt invited Lao Chiang to Cairo, Egypt to hold a summit meeting between China, the United States and Britain to discuss the Far East operation and post-war issues. ”

"The stakes are so high that Lao Chiang asked me to accompany him and submit a detailed negotiation plan. I guess you're going too, because Soong Meiling is going with her as the first lady, and she'll definitely lobby Lao Jiang to make you an intelligence officer and translator. "Mrs. Jiang asked me to go, in fact, to have a companion so as not to be lonely. The intelligence officer and the translator were excuses, but her English skills were more than enough to act as a translator. "Mei Fang is old enough to analyze." You should also prepare for intelligence matters, so as not to be caught off guard. After Ouyang Jian finished speaking, he took out the written materials and checked them carefully, so as not to have any omissions.

He knew in his heart that there must be a special car as soon as he got off the plane, and he would send him directly to Lao Jiang's mansion, and Lao Jiang would listen to his report as soon as possible. During this time, Lao Jiang must let his think tank make suggestions, no accident, Lao Jiang is definitely not satisfied, this time he quickly let himself go back, is to introduce a negotiation plan as soon as possible. There was no suspense in the war against Japan, it was nothing more than speeding up the offensive, how to cooperate with the Pacific theater operations, and the political pattern of the Far East after the war, Lao Chiang would not be unclear. In fact, the plan is already clear, it is just a matter of how much benefit to obtain. Ouyang Jian knew in his heart that this time it must be a difficult negotiation.

The plane landed smoothly at Chongqing Airport, and as expected, the special car was already waiting at the airport. About an hour later, the figures of Ouyang Jian and his wife appeared in Lao Jiang's living room. Song Qingling enthusiastically took Mei Fang's hand and said, "You guys are not happy, Lanzhou is not a place to enjoy the mountains and rivers." "Sister Song, where are we going to play, where are we invited today, where are we going to visit tomorrow, it's just impossible to separate." "Who let our husbands can't help themselves, as their women are miserable!" The two of them talked and laughed and walked out.

Mrs. Jiang said: "The expeditionary force's attack on Rangoon was slow, the Japanese resistance was stubborn, and the battle situation was stalemate. The British promised to commit an army to assist in the war, but the action was delayed. The British wanted to regain lost territory with the help of our expeditionary force, which was simply whimsical. I have already telegraphed Du Yuming to stop the offensive, the situation has developed to such a point that attacking the Indochina Peninsula will drag down the expeditionary force. "The headmaster is wise, we can't let the British comfortably regain lost ground, let's go make a wedding dress."

"At present, the situation in the domestic war is not going well, the attack is blocked, and the Japanese resistance is becoming more and more stubborn. The General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has put forward a plan for recovering Taiwan, which has the advantage of taking it by surprise and attacking it unprepared, and I raise my hands in favor of it. At present, Bai Chongxi led the 9th Corps, which has entered the Quanzhou and Xiamen areas to stand by. Once Taiwan is taken as a strategic point, the Japanese army in Nanyang will not be cut off, and the overall defense will collapse. The US military's cross-island operations in the Marshall Islands were fought very hard, and the Philippine battle plan drawn up by them had to be postponed, and it seemed that we had no choice but to launch the Taiwan campaign on our own. ”

"The US High Command believes that it is impossible to cross the Taiwan Strait without fleet support, and asks us to delay the attack on Taiwan, I want to hear your advice!" Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "Principal, this time we went to Cairo, one of the things is to ask the US military to deploy a new F6 team along the coast of Fujian, as long as it can take away Taiwan's air supremacy, we will solve other things." Ouyang Jian took out a dozen documents and continued: "Principal, I have thought of this question, there is this article in the negotiation plan, you can take a look!" ”

Lao Jiang saw that the material was very thick and knew that the scope involved was very wide, and said with a satisfied smile on his face: "When it comes to obtaining national interests, no one is clearer and more shrewd than you, I will read it carefully, you can simply talk about it!" "President, I judge that this three-nation summit is mainly a question of the post-war pattern of the Far East. As the saying goes: in national interests, there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests. Especially with regard to territorial integrity, it is imperative that not an inch of territory be ceded. I have touched on the Hong Kong issue and the Tibet issue in my negotiation plan, and this is the main point of our negotiations with the British side. ”

"This time, the summit of China, the United States and Britain did not have Soviet Russia, so it was a rare opportunity. We want the United States and Britain to recognize the Outer Mongolia and Tangnu-Ulianghai regions, to return Manchuria and Taiwan, including the South China Sea, and to get the United States and Britain to recognize that they belong to China's inherent territory and sea areas. In addition, we demanded post-war trusteeship of the Ryukyus and a piece of access to the sea in the eastern part of Kuro-province, which was our post-war purpose. "You have a great appetite! I have also thought about your request, Manchuria and Taiwan are not a big problem with returning to China, and we also have good reasons in the South China Sea. However, on the issue of Hong Kong and Tibet, although the British have reached an agreement with us, they will certainly make trouble in secret. ”

"On the issue of Outer Mongolia, Soviet Russia will not give up easily, and will artificially set up obstacles, and as for the Tangnu-Uliang national sea area, including the eastern mouth of the Sea of Japan, Soviet Russia will definitely not agree. It is even more unrealistic to put it in managed Okinawa! "Chancellor, in the Far East, the interests of the Americans are minimal, their core interests are in Europe, so we must use the United States for the highest interests. In particular, the contradictions between the United States and Soviet Russia will deepen after the war, and the Americans will use us to balance Soviet Russia. Opportunities are rare, and if we let them slip away easily, there will be no opportunities in the future. ”

Lao Jiang was silent for a while and said, "Is this what your party means?" "In the face of national interests, national interests, and territorial integrity, our views are the same, and please rest assured that this is true." "The northern territory involves the interests of Soviet Russia, and if it is not possible, a military conflict or even a war will break out, which is what I am most worried about!" "There is nothing remarkable, even if war breaks out, we are not afraid. However, I believe that Soviet Russia will not start a war, not because it does not dare, but because it is constrained by various conditions, it is simply not capable of launching a large-scale war, which will lead to the danger of national annihilation. Maybe a military conflict will break out, but we are not afraid. ”

Seeing that Lao Jiang hesitated, Ouyang Jian continued: "Headmaster, our current military strength is already very strong, and any enemy will be terrified. As long as we are united and have no problems within ourselves, our post-war rise will not be stopped by any force. Britain, an empire on which the sun never sets, has been ravaged by war and will continue to decline in the future, and the post-war world pattern will form a three-legged pattern of the United States, the Soviet Union, and China. ”

"Principal, post-war China is not just a big country, but a military and political power, and an economic power in the future. The wisdom and miracles of the Chinese nation once led the way, but the sinking of more than 100 years has made us pay a heavy tuition fee, and the price of blood has made us wake up violently. History has given us the opportunity to rise again, and there is no reason for us to bury it, otherwise we are sinners for the ages??????。 Seeing Ouyang and his wife away, Song Meiling saw that Lao Jiang was contemplative, her expression was very serious, and she couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the conversation between you?" ”

"What is far-sightedness and insight, it must be Ouyang Jian. In fact, he knows my mind best, why there is no such an outstanding person around me, sharing my worries, God is unfair! Song Meiling said with relief: "Darling, it's rare that you don't have to worry about thinking like this." "You might not imagine that he has predicted what will happen after the fight. This is a conversation with you, better than ten years of study, but China's affairs are not as simple as talking, and they are more headaches. After Lao Jiang finished speaking, he picked up the materials and studied them attentively.

On the way back, Ouyang Jian looked at the street scene and was silent, originally he wanted to go directly to the Eighth Route Army office to meet Enlai, but it felt inappropriate, which would make Lao Jiang unhappy. "Ouyang, you really expected things like a god, Madame Jiang told me that she would accompany me this time and serve as an intelligence officer and translator, and asked me to prepare." Ouyang Jian smiled without squeaking. The car stopped in the courtyard of the residence, and the captain of the guard, Gong Nan, greeted him: "The chief of the general staff and his wife have worked hard, and they finally look forward to bringing you back." "Captain Gong, everything is okay at home!" "It's all good, Enlai is here, waiting for you in the living room!"

Ouyang Jian heard this and hurriedly ran to the living room, "Brother Enlai!" "Brother Ouyang!" The two sides hugged each other warmly! "Brother Ouyang, time is like flowing water, I haven't seen each other for almost a year, I really miss you!" "Brother Enlai, I miss you too!" "The battle is moving so fast, it's really popular." How about it, the trip to Lanzhou can be fruitful, and the headquarters is very concerned about this matter. "I wrote a report with all the details in it, and if you look at it and report it to headquarters if you don't have any comments. Our 01 project has entered a benign track and is sailing to the other side of success. ”

"If the headquarters is not happy to hear this news, you sent a telegram to the headquarters, and the headquarters called back to agree to your negotiation plan. Headquarters asks you to maximize the results of the negotiation and not to be scrupled. Because you are representing the country, not a certain person! "Thanks to the understanding and support of the headquarters, I just agitated in front of Lao Jiang, he basically agreed with our ideas, and in terms of the interests of the country and the nation, he is still sober." "When will it happen?" "Probably the end of the month!" "Since this is the case, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha and practice with you in advance!"

During the banquet, Enlai said: "My trip to the northwest in the summer was very touching. I didn't expect Lanzhou's industrial development to be so fast, and the economy was developing greatly, and the railway was the top priority. You strongly advocate the idea of building a Northwest Industrial Base, and I very much agree with it. A barren land, a land full of life, can paint the latest and most beautiful picture. "Brother Enlai, I didn't expect you to have a romantic time!" "It's this passionate era that makes me can't help but express my words. The Dihua railway has been opened to Karamay, I do not feel desolate in Karamay, but the vitality of my eyes, at present, the Northwest Industries Group, has drilled 10 oil wells. ”

"An oil refinery is being built, and I can't forget it!" "Brother Enlai, if you go to the Great Northwest in two years, I'm afraid it will be a different story." "Brother Ouyang, when you prepared to build the Northwest Railway, it can be described as a great achievement! Especially in a state of war, a railway artery is soaring like a Chinese dragon, and the role it is playing now is simply too shocking. I'm afraid you don't know that the media in Chongqing today, in addition to major military news, is the great changes in the northwest. The northwest is worthy of a cornucopia, creating unique conditions for the rapid development of industry??????。 ”

Enlai was so excited, so excited that he seemed to be talking about it. Ouyang Jian smiled silently, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two. Late at night, they still talked very much, and the content of the conversation was very extensive. The fate and future of the motherland are their favorite, and this is the sacred duty entrusted to them by history.
