U.S.-China negotiations

Seeing Liu Hua, the Chinese negotiator, sitting in front of him, without saying a word, with a look of 'you bid and I will repay', the Chinese negotiator Liu Hua sat comfortably in his chair, looking at the opponent in front of him with a smile on his face, and said nothing.

Time passed slowly in the eyes of the two of them, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room became more and more solemn, and the prime minister, who was sitting next to him and was also puzzled by Liu Hua, was just about to speak. Marshall, who had been looking at Liu Hua, couldn't sit still at first, and after moving his already a little numb body, he had to speak.

However, the object of his speech was not his opponent Liu Hua, but the smiling prime minister beside him: "Mr. Zhou, I have to admit that you have chosen a very good negotiator, so that I can't grasp the initiative in the negotiation at all in front of him, and at the same time I don't have confidence..."

After nodding with a smile with the prime minister, Marshall had to look at Liu Hua in front of him with a painful face, still smiling and unmoved. Opening.

"General Liu, you're great... Since you don't speak, then I'll be straight to the point. I deeply regret the predicament that your country is currently facing. However, for the sake of the victory of the entire Central Powers, for the sake of peace for the whole world, I believe that the Chinese army should not run away. Instead, we should take the initiative to attack the Japanese mainland without fear of hardships and difficulties, assist the Allies to win the entire Pacific War, and completely defeat fascist Japan."

After listening to Marshall's righteous answer. If it's someone else. At this moment, I will definitely express my agreement. However, what he met today was Liu Hua, who had always played cards according to common sense. Seeing that everyone's eyes in the entire conference room were focused on him, Liu Hua's face quickly flashed a sly smile, and then he asked a rhetorical question slowly.

"Contribute to the Allies, to the peace of the whole world?"

"General Marshall, I believe that General Stilwell has the best say in what you have just said. In order to avoid hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops on the Chinese battlefield rushing to the Pacific theater. Our Chinese army has paid a very heavy price. So far, our Chinese army and government have not recovered from the losses in this great battle..."

Although I knew that Liu Hua in front of me was obviously exaggerating, but. As a negotiator in the last negotiation, Stilwell, in order to maintain his honor, had to answer in the affirmative.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, there is nothing wrong with what General Liu said. **!Book. In order to prevent more than 500,000 elite Japanese troops from going to the Chinese battlefield, the Chinese army did pay a lot of price in order to annihilate them. However, as for the specific losses of the troops, I do not know, after all, this is the military secret of the other side ...."

With Stilwell's affirmation. Liu Hua did not hesitate, and continued to speak reluctantly: "General Marshall, you heard it. For the sake of world peace and for the lives of millions of Allied soldiers in the Pacific Theater, our Chinese army has made efforts and paid a very heavy price for it..."

Facing Liu Hua in front of him, Marshall knew that he had lost the negotiation, and it was a complete failure. Come to think of it. directly said his ultimate goal.

"General Liu, since this is the case, let's get down to business. I ask General Liu how much interest you need to agree to the Allies' invitation to send troops. Immediately move troops and attack the Japanese mainland..."

"Nope. General Marshall, I'm sure you've got the wrong person. It is not how much I want, but how much the Allies can pay....I am confident that as long as the conditions you have put forward satisfy my Government, my Government will accede to the request of the Allies and make its own efforts for world peace....and, of course, General Marshall, do not forget the difficulties that our army and government are currently facing. Liu Hua kicked the ball directly to Marshall and asked with a smile. …,

However, this smile, in Marshall's view, is tantamount to a knife hidden in a smile.

What kind of conditions should be put forward that will satisfy the other side and at the same time not show the stinginess of the allies... Combined with some of the difficulties raised by Liu Hua just now, Marshall's brows immediately furrowed, and he began to fall into contemplation quietly. At the same time, a pen in his hand was also writing and drawing on the white paper in front of him.

Seeing the scene in front of them, it was clear to everyone who could sit in the conference room that Marshall in front of him had compromised. So, they all sat motionless in their seats, waiting for Marshall's results.

Finally, after ten minutes of thinking, a perfect condition appeared in front of Marshall. Then, he said confidently.

"General Liu, if your army agrees to the invitation of the Allies. Our allies will definitely replenish your troops with the following equipment and supplies in the shortest possible time:

Air Force: Two air divisions with a total of 300 fighters of all types and corresponding ammunition.

On the naval side: two light cruisers, six destroyers, ten transport ships, fifty landing craft and the corresponding weapons and ammunition.

On the army side: five heavy artillery brigades with a total of 600 guns with a caliber of more than 150 mm and corresponding ammunition. A heavy tank division has a total of 400 heavy tanks and the corresponding ammunition. Two medium tank divisions totaled 800 light tanks and the corresponding ammunition.

Finally, our allies have paid a total of $200 million in military spending, and we have asked your government to send at least half a million troops. Within three months, launch an attack on the Japanese mainland to break the stalemate in the Pacific theater.

General Liu, I don't know if you are satisfied with these requirements. ”

After speaking, Admiral Marshall looked at Liu Hua in front of him with a confident expression, because he believed that this condition was enough to impress the Chinese leaders with backward equipment.

Indeed, as soon as his words fell, sitting next to Liu Hua, including the prime minister's face, showed a moving expression. Just when Marshall's face was about to show a smile of victory, the unexpected appeared. Liu Hua, who was sitting directly opposite him, not only did not say anything, but showed a playful smile.

Seeing Liu Hua's unexpectedly unexpected, Marshall's heart couldn't help but chuckle. Then, he asked rhetorically with an uncertain face: "General Liu, do you see?" ”

Facing everyone's eyes, especially the prime minister's gaze, Liu Hua's face immediately showed a reassuring smile. Then, facing Marshall in front of him, he asked a question of his own.

"General Marshall, before answering your question, I would like to ask you a question. As Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, I believe that you should have a certain understanding of Japan's current production capacity. ”

"With the current national strength of the Japanese government, it is enough to mobilize at least 100,000 troops to go to the battlefield in one month. As for the equipment, in a month's time, I took out a few warships, one or two tank divisions, one or two aviation divisions, and there was still no pressure....I don't know if General Marshall agrees with my statement...."

After saying a word, Liu Hua's eyes stared at Marshall in front of him, waiting for his answer.

Although it is not clear what Liu Hua said these words for. However, Admiral Marshall, as an opponent, still gave an affirmative answer.

In an instant, Liu Hua's face immediately revealed a smile of successful tricks. Facing Marshall, he spoke directly.

"In this case, General Marshall, if the Japanese government puts all these personnel and equipment into the Pacific theater, the Allies will definitely invest corresponding troops and equipment in order to win the entire war. If I assure you, on behalf of my Government, that as soon as your equipment arrives, our army will attack within a month. Can the equipment and supplies that the Allies have put into the Pacific theater in the next two months be sent to our country in advance? "General Marshall, my request is simple: one medium aircraft carrier, six light cruisers, eighteen destroyers, twenty transports, one hundred landing craft, six aviation divisions, three heavy tank divisions, six medium tank divisions, fifteen heavy artillery brigades, fifty million dollars, and all the heavy industrial equipment in Japan." As long as you are able to accede to these demands, I can tell you with certainty on behalf of the government that within a month, China will send troops. Provided, of course, that all the equipment and supplies you promised have already arrived in our country. ”

Seeing Marshall with a stunned face in front of him, Liu Hua continued to speak: "General Marshall, I believe that both you and President Roosevelt of your country should be able to settle this account. In any respect, your country, and the Allies as a whole, have nothing to lose. It's just that the corresponding equipment that was put into the Pacific theater was put into China. More importantly, your country, and the Allied forces as a whole, will reduce many casualties as a result..."

Seeing Marshall with a pensive face in front of him, Liu Hua believed that his requirements seemed very high. However, it is not at all high for the US government, which has the title of the world's factory, and especially the United States, which is extremely focused on human rights and only focuses on immediate and immediate interests. Even if Marshall does not agree, their president, their people, and especially the plutocratic clique in the United States will agree without reservation.

Sure enough, less than half an hour after Marshall sent the contents of the negotiations to the United States by telegram, Roosevelt's positive reply reached Marshall....

Looking at the telegram sent by Roosevelt himself in his hand, Marshall's face couldn't help but show a wry smile. Facing Liu Hua in front of him, he said with a smile.

"General Liu, if you go into business, you will definitely become the most cunning businessman in the world. Congratulations, President Roosevelt of our country has agreed to your request. All the equipment will be brought to China together with the ships that will reinforce your country, and I ask your government to be ready to accept it. At the same time, in accordance with the agreement between us, we will make a decision to send troops to the Japanese mainland...."

"Definitely...."
