As the Eighth Route Army began to dominate the war of resistance in the north, it even regained the lost territory that had fallen earlier. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 INFO's Eighth Route Army Representative Office in Chongqing has also become an official channel for many non-party personages to contact the Eighth Route Army.

Even now, some large European and American countries still have consular personnel stationed in Shanghai or other places. But in those places, most of the liaison stations between the Eighth Route Army and the Nationalist Government were underground, and they did not dare to show their faces at will.

On the other hand, the United States of America, which had close contacts with the Nationalist Government, was also a big financier of the old Chiang government. Relying on the connections made by his wife in the United States in her early years, the United States is also quite concerned about the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in China.

Compared with the old military and economic powers such as Britain and France in Europe, the United States benefited greatly from World War I. But on the whole, they did not receive as much war dividends as the victorious powers of Britain and France.

At a time when the situation in Europe is changing, the U.S. government, which also hopes for a higher international status, is also looking to Asia. After all, they also had colonial interests in Asia and wanted to expand their overseas colonies even further.

It's not that the Americans don't want to be a treasure of feng shui in Europe, but they know that they can't do anything about Europe. It is better to take the opportunity to expand their colonial interests in Asia by taking advantage of the British and French to grab food from their mouths.

As the largest independent country in Asia, China is naturally the focus of their attention. In the early years, their commercial trade with the government of the Republic of China had allowed them to earn huge profits, and they also knew that China was rich in resources.

The United States, which does not want the little devils to dominate Asian interests, does not want to provoke the little devils too much. What they think of more is to fund Huaxia and let it continue to consume the vitality of the little devil until the little devil is completely dragged down.

After all, as long as anyone has a heart, they can see that if Huaxia is determined to fight to the end. With the power of an island country possessed by the little devils, they simply couldn't hold out for long. And war, after all, still has to be solved by soldiers.

As the Soviet Union began to reduce military aid and loans, in order to maintain government spending and military expansion, the Nationalist Government also paid more and more attention to the loans provided by the United States, and naturally increased its desire for loans from the United States.

Relying on the contacts made by Mrs. Chiang in the US Senate and the House of Representatives, the Chiang government has indeed borrowed a lot of loans from the United States. But the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression did not end for a day, which meant that this kind of loan was always needed by Lao Chiang.

The more war loans China gives, the greater the benefits that the United States hopes to obtain. Gradually, the United States also began to plan to promote its American-style equipment in the Nationalist government army, in order to make Huaxia the largest overseas customer of the US military.

In addition, the U.S. military also saw that the world was not at peace now, and they even hoped to send some representatives to join the War of Resistance against Japan and cooperate with the Chinese troops to fight the little devils in order to test the combat effectiveness of these U.S. troops.

It was only as the more telegrams sent back by the representatives in China, some American politicians gradually discovered that the Nationalist government they were currently funding was not performing satisfactorily in the War of Resistance Against Japan. On the other hand, Yan'an has made considerable achievements.

In fact, this political party and army, which was once regarded as a 'rebel army' by the old Chiang government, now has more jurisdiction than the Nationalist area under the control of the Nationalist government. In the north of China, almost all of them are dominated by the Eighth Route Army.

There are dissenting parties in any party, and in the US Senate and House of Representatives, some people quickly raised objections. In the view of these parliamentarians, if this form of development continues, the future Nationalist Government may not be able to dominate the overall situation in China.

If the Nationalist Government could not become the ruling government in China after the War of Resistance Against Japan, then the large amount of money they have invested now is very likely to come to naught. After all, there were some conditions that they had negotiated with the Nationalist Government.

If Yan'an becomes the ruling party in China in the future, then it can use 'ignorance' as a reason to veto a series of agreements reached between the Lao Chiang government and the United States. This kind of consequence is also something that many US politicians do not want to see.

Under such circumstances, the US side quickly put forward its desire to make contact with Yan'an. Even in the eyes of many Americans, the governing philosophy of the Yan'an government is different from theirs, but it is very necessary to get in touch with it.

Most importantly, as He Zhengdao led the Northeast Field Army to regain the lost territories such as Shanhaiguan and Rehe one after another, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Eighth Route Army is not only thinking about recovering North China, but even hopes to recover the most important northeast region of the Japanese army.

Once the Eighth Route Army achieves this operational goal, then the Nationalist Government, which is still fighting with the Japanese army in Changsha in Central China, is afraid that there is not much hope of competing with the Eighth Route Army for the future sovereignty of China.

Even some people feel that Lao Jiang, the head of the Nationalist Government, is hostile to the Yan'an government, and it is even difficult for the two parties to coexist. In this case, will contacting the Yan'an government cause dissatisfaction in Chongqing?

But this concern soon became a member of parliament: "If Chiang can now lead his troops to drive away the invading army that has invaded his territory, then we will naturally have to take his opinion into consideration."

But the problem now is that his troops are not fighting well on the battlefield, and even the reputation of his troops in China is not very good. On the other hand, in the north of China, the army led by that party is winning one after another.

Even now, even in the northeast region, which is the focus of the Japanese army, their troops are attacking. And the Japanese troops responsible for protecting there do not seem to have a very good strategy for the attack of the Yan'an army.

If we want to get the most out of our war investments in the future, then we must choose the right people in this investment. If we make the wrong choice, the money we have invested earlier will be in vain.

At least you don't expect a party that doesn't get the power to pay off its debts, do you? If Chiang had any opinions, then he should have ordered his troops to come up with a satisfactory record! ”

The very realistic remarks of these congressmen eventually led to the US delegation's intention to visit Yan'an. Even in order to show the importance of the American side, the American side sent an army major general as the head of the delegation.

Lao Jiang, who learned the news, was afraid to launch a relationship to try to sabotage such a contact itinerary. But in the end, Chiang's wife said that her friends in the U.S. House could not help it. After all, this is a parliamentary resolution!

'Mother Sippi, these guys who have milk are mothers! Could it be that they really think that Yan'an can beat us? ’

Lao Jiang, who scolded his mother, also looked down on these Americans who saw the wind and steered the rudder. But he must admit that such behavior of the Americans is quite realistic. also made him realize that the so-called friendship can never compare to strength.

If the troops under his command now win successive victories on the battlefield, I believe that the United States will not be so hesitant about the loan he has applied for. It's a pity that his troops are on the front line, and they are indeed not fighting so well.

Even Lao Chiang ordered the Military Command Bureau to increase intelligence reconnaissance on the Eighth Route Army, trying to figure out what was the reason why the Eighth Route Army could expand so rapidly. After all, he was really curious about the source of funds for the Eighth Route Army!

However, the reply given to him by the military commander also made Lao Jiang Bai puzzled. Although the Eighth Route Army has always implemented the policy of 'returning the captured to the public', can the Eighth Route Army really grow to its current scale by relying on the funds and weapons captured in the battle alone?

Earlier, he had been trying to obtain evidence of the Soviet Union's secret support for the Eighth Route Army on the Soviet side. The results showed that the Eighth Route Army did have a deal with the Soviet Union, but that deal was more of a form of commercial trade.

If you really want to talk about gratuitous aid and capital loans, he is the big one. Yan'an, on the other hand, sent representatives to Moscow in the hope of applying for some funding from the Soviet side, but in vain.

It's not that the Soviet government can't come up with money, maybe within the Soviet government there are already concerns that have been raised. That is, once the Yan'an side is really strong, how will they treat the Yan'an side in the future?

A strong neighbor that did not adhere to the national interests of the USSR. In particular, many Soviets knew that they were currently in the Far East and had occupied a lot of territory in China. Will these territories be returned in the future?

If they don't return it, will Huaxia, which has become stronger, forcibly ask for it? Even, in order to recover these territories, is it possible for Huaxia to raise troops to recover them? These were the fears of the Soviet side.

In the end, the Soviet top brass also felt that it was in their best interests to maintain the balance of power between the two political parties in China. In this case, both Chongqing and Yan'an may want their support.

It's just that the Soviet top brass may never have dreamed that He Zhengdao, who is also the most concerned about them now, has been thinking about recovering the territories they occupied. Even if the Soviet Union attaches the most importance to Outer Mongolia, He Zhengdao also hopes to take it back.

After Vice Chairman Zhou held talks with He Zhengdao, the director of the Eighth Route Army Representative Office, who was far away in Chongqing, quickly made contact with the US delegation. At the same time, it also conveyed that Taizu and Vice Chairman Zhou welcomed American friends to visit Yan'an.

As for the security issues raised by the Chongqing side, the representative office also said. As soon as they reach the area under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army will send elite troops to provide security protection to the US representatives.

As the Chongqing side tried to send their people to the delegation, the director of the representative office of the Eighth Route Army also said in a timely manner: "General Sam, I believe that the general also understands the relationship between our party and the Chongqing government.

Earlier, when their delegation visited our premises, there had been cases of spies infiltrating. In order to ensure that our secrets are not leaked, and to ensure the safety of our chiefs, we will not allow them to send representatives to accompany them.

Therefore, if Your Excellency the General wants to visit Yan'an as soon as possible, both our party and the army welcome it. But we hope that there are no political strings attached to such visits. That's our final decision! ”

After these remarks, the US representative also realized that there was really a big problem between the Yan'an government and Chongqing. If they still have to take care of Chongqing's opinions, I'm afraid that they won't be able to go to Yan'an this time!
