For many people living in Yan'an, they are enjoying their current life. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info With the development of the Eighth Route Army as the core, Yan'an seems to be changing every day, which makes the people feel that some eyes can't see it.

Although the common people of Yan'an can see some foreign devils on the street from time to time. But today, looking at such a group of tall and tall foreign devils, many people still feel a little curious, but they don't dare to get too close.

Although in Yan'an, foreign devils are not objects that cannot be provoked. But in the years of the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, the people's fear of foreigners has never been less. In the eyes of the common people, foreign devils can provoke as little as possible.

It is not uncommon for people to have this kind of fear of the ocean. In fact, even many officials and officers of the Republic of China today have a certain fear of foreigners, and feel that foreigners are not easy to provoke.

In He Zhengdao's view, this is a problem caused by history, and if you want to eradicate it in a short period of time, I am afraid that it will not be easy. The only way to change is to build up the self-confidence of the people and let them know that foreigners are not terrible.

In addition, the only way to increase the country's economic strength and strengthen the country's national defense strength is to increase it. Thinking of the idea of admiring foreign countries formed in later generations, He Zhengdao also hopes to change this situation as soon as possible.

If we want to change this situation, the first thing we must do is to win the war of resistance against Japan. Let the people know that Huaxia is no longer the country that was bullied by foreigners earlier, and Huaxia also has a strong army that can defend the honor of the country.

When the ordinary people secretly looked at the US military delegation, these US military delegations looked at the people of Yan'an City and looked also curious. However, in the eyes of the US military delegation, the spirit of the people in Yan'an is better than that of other places.

What surprised them the most was that there seemed to be a large number of young people on the streets of Yan'an. After some inquiry, the delegation learned that most of these young people were workers and students who had come to Yan'an to study.

Some enthusiastic members of the US military delegation also followed some civilians from time to time and said with a smile: "Hello! ”

Listening to the greetings of these US military delegations, some people were also surprised: "Well, these foreign devils will still say our words!" Judging by the clothes they wear, it looks like they are also soldiers, right? ”

Although the people don't know very well, who these foreign devils are. But from the expressions of these delegations, they can see to some extent that these foreign devils are still somewhat different from those who came to Yan'an before.

After taking a turn on Yan'an Street, the delegation was also a little surprised by the prosperity and liveliness of Yan'an. But they can see to some extent that Yan'an's urban architecture is still somewhat deficient compared to Xi'an.

But the population here seems to be no less than that of a big city like Xi'an. This can also show that the people living here in Yan'an are very peaceful. At least not to worry about the bombing and attacks of the little devils at any time to the people in other liberated areas.

Wait until Zhou Enlai leads the delegation and enters the location of the Central Government. Looking at the guard posts along the way, the US military delegation can also feel that the Eighth Route Army has also done a very strict job of security and security here.

What aroused the delegation's curiosity the most was the caves built on the hill in the station. These excavated caves made many US military representatives feel that the leaders of the Eighth Route Army lived in such caves?

Perhaps seeing the curiosity in everyone's eyes, He Zhengdao also explained with a smile: "This is a unique folk housing structure in northern Shaanxi, which may look a little simple and inconspicuous, but this kind of house is still very comfortable to live in."

Most importantly, from a military point of view, such a house is also a natural bomb shelter. It is precisely because of the unique way of building houses here that our party has always set up its office here, saving a lot of trouble. ”

After He Zhengdao's explanation, these US military delegations also felt that they had suddenly come to their senses. But in any case, in their opinion, such accommodation conditions are still much simpler than those high-ranking officials of the Nationalist Government in Chongqing!

Looking at the central station, in addition to the caves, the number of trees here also looks much more lush than other places. If you look down from the air, it is really difficult to see what is going on on the ground.

If the bombing is carried out from a high altitude, it will not be possible to achieve accurate bombing at all. However, if they carry out low-altitude bombing, they are afraid that the anti-aircraft weapons deployed around will also make those bombers and planes suffer.

Such a discovery also made many US military delegations feel. In the current situation, it seems that it is also a wise choice for the Eighth Route Army to locate its core organization here!

While the US military delegation was observing this core location, Taizu, Mr. Zhu and others were also waiting for the arrival of the US military delegation at the reception desk of the Central Committee.

Originally, according to Taizu's intention, he, as the chairman, should personally go to greet the delegation and fulfill the friendship of the landlord. But in the end, he was stopped by He Zhengdao, who felt that he did not need to treat these US military delegations with such a high standard.

If the person who came at this moment was the president of the United States or a congressman or something, maybe it would be okay for Taizu to greet him in person. But he is only a major general, and it is very good to have Vice Chairman Zhou to greet him.

Seeing He Zhengdao stop him, Taizu and Mr. Zhu were not reluctant. When he saw the delegation arrive at the reception and look at the people standing in the courtyard of the reception center, Major General Sam also looked a little surprised.

In the eyes of Major General Sam, as the main person in charge of the Eighth Route Army. The prestige of these people in the country and the power of the Eighth Route Army are very high. No matter what, these people should be a group of people with a lot of status.

But the problem is that most of the people they see now are wearing the standard military uniforms of the Eighth Route Army. To their surprise, some of them were wearing old military uniforms with patches. How frugal this is!

After He Zhengdao's introduction, Major General Sam also sighed and said: "Mr. President, your moral character is really worthy of the respect of the world. I imagined your situation before I came, but I really didn't expect you all to be so frugal. ”

After listening to He Zhengdao's translation, Taizu also smiled and said, "General Sam is serious!" My country is very poor now, and those of us who serve the people naturally can't live too luxuriously! It's a matter of course to be frugal! ”

After talking with Taizu, Mr. Zhu and others, Major General Sam also had a deeper understanding of the style and behavior of the Eighth Route Army. He knew that this was a military and leader who deserved respect.

And the first reception banquet for the delegation to Yan'an also made the US military delegation feel very simple. But after hearing He Zhengdao's introduction, such a reception specification is already a high-standard reception of the Eighth Route Army, everyone was surprised.

On the first night of their arrival in Yan'an, Taizu and the others did not have any practical negotiations and meetings with the US military delegation. As far as the US military delegation is concerned, they also need to digest what they have seen and heard today.

In addition, they also need to liaise with the country in terms of what they want to negotiate with the Eighth Route Army. At least Major General Sam is more of a liaison representative between China and Yan'an.

The day after the delegation arrived in Yan'an, led by Zhou Enlai and He Zhengdao, they also visited the office and school in Yan'an. In the face of these cave schools, many representatives were very surprised.

However, many deputies can see from these young students that there is a vigorous atmosphere in Yan'an that cannot be seen in Chongqing. This means that the future of Huaxia depends more on the development of Yan'an.

After the three-day visit, Major General Sam convened the delegation for a meeting and finally sent a telegram to the country. The content sent above is very simple, that is, 'Yan'an is the hope of the future of China'.

This simple telegram also surprised Roosevelt and many American congressmen. However, after reading the basis for Major General Sam and others to make these conclusions, Roosevelt and others also felt that this was not a lie.

It was only for Roosevelt that the delegation's conclusion was equally difficult for him. After all, from the current point of view, Chongqing is the legitimate representative of the Chinese government, and it is also recognized by the international community.

As for Yan'an, it can only be regarded as an opposition party. If you get in touch with such a party now, if they get it right, maybe they will gain a lot in the future. But if you make the wrong mistake, it will anger Chongqing.

'What do you think we should do with Yan'an next?' ’

In the face of such inquiries, these advisers and officials of the presidential office also felt a little embarrassed. After all, they all know that Chongqing still has a lot of contacts in the Senate and the Senate.

If you want to make practical contact with Yan'an, then these people will also become obstacles to the plan. However, judging from the current situation, it is indeed necessary for Yan'an to deepen some contacts and contacts.

It didn't take long for an adviser to say: "Mr. President, I think this matter should be decided by asking the delegation to meet with the Yan'an side first." Let's take a look at what cooperation Yan'an intends to carry out with us.

Judging from the current situation, the situation of the Yan'an government is actually not optimistic. At least one thing is certain, and that is that they are short on government funding. If they need a loan, we need to at least know how much they need in advance. ”

Such remarks also gave Roosevelt a reminder. That is, talk to Yan'an first, and listen to what Yan'an has to ask for first. Then, based on these requirements, they decide on specific cooperation and investment.

After all, for the U.S. government at the moment, they can naturally take out loans. However, the number of them still needs to be considered. At the very least, make sure that these loans don't go down the drain!

However, as far as the Yan'an government is concerned, He Zhengdao and others also want to know what substantial help the United States can provide. After all, if the Eighth Route Army wants to continue to grow and develop, funds and foreign aid are indeed urgently needed!
