The talks, which were thought to be temporarily suspended, may resume in the afternoon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 What He Zhengdao did not expect was that the discussion time of the US military delegation seemed to be a bit long, and it was not until the afternoon of the next day that it was decided to continue the meeting.

From this time, He Zhengdao can also judge to some extent that the US side attaches great importance to the information he has provided and the speculation it has made about the future situation. So, what will be the specific effect?

On the way to the conference room in front, Vice Chairman Zhou also said in a timely manner: "Right way, you can speak in the next talks." If there's anything missing, I'll be there to help you.

Judging from yesterday's initial talks, it seems that these US military representatives attach great importance to your views. Our principle is very simple, that is, to get as many loans as possible without violating the principle, do you think it is possible? ”

'Vice Chairman Zhou, I can't guarantee this. But for the next talks, I still have confidence. If you don't want anything, you will be strong, and the worst outcome is nothing more than not being able to reach any agreement, and it will not hurt us.

Now they are the ones who really want to cooperate, and if they really want to cooperate with us, I think they should be anxious. Therefore, in the next talks, I will appropriately strive for some favorable conditions for us. ’

'Okay, you know what to do, let's go!' ’

If someone else said something like this, Zhou Enlai might feel too confident. But for He Zhengdao, Zhou Enlai, who understands his character, knows very well that this young man's vision and foresight can't be compared to him.

After all, Zhou Enlai, who has learned some things about He Zhengdao, knows very well that the person in front of him can't be looked at with common sense!

After sitting down again, Major General Sam also said sincerely: "Mr. Zhou, General He, I'm very sorry for keeping you waiting. It's just that the information provided by General He and the analysis he made also need to be discussed and studied in China.

Now I've got a domestic mandate to start talks about some cooperation between our two countries and two militaries. If you have any needs, our country will also provide help within its capacity, for the friendship between the two countries! ”

Listening to what Major General Sam said, He Zhengdao still despised these foreign devils in his heart. Obviously, he wanted Huaxia to contain the energy of the Japanese army, but he wanted to involve the so-called friendship.

As far as the current situation is concerned, China and the United States have a Mao friendship!

But he still smiled and said: "Thank you for your support for our country's cause of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and we are still very happy to make friends with countries that are sincerely friendly to our country." But I don't know what kind of help and cooperation your country intends to provide? ”

In He Zhengdao's view, if he took the initiative to make a price, the other party was afraid that he would bargain. In this case, if the US side takes the initiative to mention the aid funds it can give, it may be able to obtain some more loan amounts.

Regarding He Zhengdao kicking the ball back again, Major General Sam also had a wry smile in his heart. Looking at He Zhengdao with a smile on his face, Major General Sam sighed in his heart, the red general in front of him should not be underestimated in diplomatic negotiations.

After thinking for a while, he said: "In view of the current situation of the Anti-Japanese War in your country, my country intends to provide a certain amount of loans and military aid. Of course, if the amount you need is too huge, China still needs some guarantee conditions! ”

Faced with Major General Sam's words, He Zhengdao smiled and said as if he was a little disapproving: "General Sam, if you don't mind, can I listen to how much your country is willing to provide to our party and our army?"

During this time, I believe you have also gained a deeper understanding of our situation. We are very poor, and so are the common people in our liberated areas. It can be said that the money we have now is eager to spend one cent as two cents.

If your country is willing to provide a loan, we will be very grateful and welcome. This at least proves that your country still supports the cause of our country's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. I am sure that this friendship will also bring benefits to your country in the future.

As for the conditions of the guarantee that the general said, the general also knows about our situation. We will not do anything that is harmful to the interests of the country. This is our principle, and it is not negotiable at any time.

Of course, with the continuous expansion of the liberated areas of our party and our army, it cannot be ruled out that we will cooperate with other countries in the future. At least at this stage, the commercial and trade cooperation between our party and our army and the Soviet Union is still very good.

If my prediction will come true in the future, I believe that the international community that is willing to cooperate with us will do so. In these years, there are not many people who send charcoal in the snow, but there should be a lot of people who are icing on the cake! ”

From He Zhengdao's words, it is not difficult for Major General Sam to hear that he wants Yan'an to agree to conditional assistance, but he is afraid that there is little hope. On this point, Yan'an seems to be much tougher than Chongqing.

As a soldier, Major General Sam admires this bloodiness of Yan'an. But as a politician, Major General Sam knows that such negotiators are difficult. After all, he wants to bring more benefits to his country!

'General Ho, after hearing about your situation earlier, Mr. President. It has been decided to allocate $5 million in gratuitous funds from Congress as some support for your cause of resistance.

As for your other needs, we will also give due consideration to them. Therefore, if General He has any needs, he might as well talk about them openly. See if we have more room to work together! ’

Five million gratuitous aid!

Zhou Enlai's eyes lit up when he heard this, you must know that this amount of money is really not a small amount for the Eighth Route Army. With this money, at least the current financial difficulties can also be alleviated to a great extent.

But He Zhengdao, who heard this, still smiled disapprovingly and said: "Thank you for your support for the cause of our party and our army's anti-Japanese war!" On behalf of our party and our army, I would like to express my great gratitude to President Roosevelt for the sincerity of your country's Congress.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, our party and our army have decided to start a campaign to recover North China in the near future. In the future, if possible, we will also regain the Tohoku occupied by the Japanese in three to five years.

But to do that, we need a lot of money and military aid. If you can, I would like your country to be able to provide a loan of $500 million. Of course, if it's an interest-free loan, we're naturally very grateful.

If your country does not feel insured, you can also settle at international interest rates. We will also use this loan to purchase weapons, ammunition and machinery from your country. Of course, I hope that the repayment period of this money can be extended a bit.

As for your country's concern about our ability to repay, I believe that the general should know better than others on this issue. I believe that your country can also analyze the future political trend of China.

If we can get the support provided by your country, then the building of our party and our army can also be accelerated as much as possible. In addition to driving the Japanese army out of China as soon as possible, we can also restart post-war reconstruction as soon as possible in the future.

I think that from the perspective of the general, the president and the parliamentarians of your country, it should be clear that the funds and materials needed for the post-war reconstruction of our country are also astronomical. Under the same conditions, we can give priority to cooperation with your country in the future.

For example, open up the commercial trade between the two countries and give your country's businessmen a certain degree of tax relief. We can also prioritize investments in your country when it comes to large infrastructure. What does the general think? ”

Zhou Enlai, who was sitting on the side, was just happy that the United States was able to provide $5 million in free aid. But I didn't hear He Zhengdao ask for a loan of 500 million US dollars in one go, what an astronomical amount!

I just thought that if the Eighth Route Army could really get a loan of 500 million US dollars, then the various undertakings of the Eighth Route Army would also be rapidly improved. At least in the construction of the military industry, great progress will certainly be made.

As for the preferential treatment mentioned by He Zhengdao, they are all based on the fact that the Eighth Route Army can obtain the future ruling power in China. In Zhou Enlai's view, this is He Zhengdao painting cakes for these US military representatives to satisfy their hunger!

On the other hand, Major General Sam, who was sitting opposite, was also taken aback when he heard He Zhengdao's request, and said with a wry smile in surprise: "General He, I have to say that your request scared me a little!" I am afraid that it will be difficult for my country to provide such a loan! ”

Listening to Major General Sam's words, He Zhengdao said without any surprise: "General, in terms of your country's national strength, a loan of 500 million US dollars is actually not much. What's more, more of the loans we borrow will also be used to purchase goods from your country.

If it is more appropriate, I believe that a large part of the 500 million yuan loan will fall into the pockets of the businessmen of your country. I think this will be very beneficial to boost your industrial and commercial development.

At present, the war in Europe is raging, and your country has chosen neutrality. But I believe that as the war evolves and progresses in the future, your country will inevitably be involved in this war as well. At that time, your country will also need to have a firm ally in the East.

I can't guarantee anything else, but at least I can guarantee that as long as we are able, we will contain the main force of the Japanese army. This means that the Japanese army will not be able to mobilize elites to invade your colonies in the short term.

To make a simple conversion, if our army can contain the main forces of the Kwantung Army. In such a short period of time, I believe they will not attack your colonial idea. In this way, the profits you make in the colonies will not be low, right?

Of course, if your country feels that we do not have the ability to repay for the time being, then we can continue the talks. But I believe that if our army can make progress in the future, it will not be long before we can recover the whole of North China.

Then I think there will be many countries willing to cooperate with us in the future. At least for the British and French, who have many colonies in Southeast Asia, they should be happy to cooperate with us. ”

I thought that the Nationalist Government would form an expeditionary force in later generations and go to Burma to fight the war of resistance. At that time, Britain, France and the United States all gave a lot of financial and military support. At this time, asking for some expenses in advance is also a matter of course in He Zhengdao's opinion!
