Chapter 920 The U.S. Government's Greeting Gift (Ask for Subscription!) ）

A welcome gift from the U.S. government

After listening carefully to Adjutant Ishihara's report, Liu Hua waved his hand directly without any expression. After the little devil adjutant walked out of the office with an angry face, he spoke to Zuo Quan, who was excited next to him.

"Chief of Staff, the little devil made a compromise, which we had expected for a long time. You immediately give an order to the troops at the front, immediately send troops, and take these two cities from the Japanese army. When you take over completely, send us a telegram back. In addition, inform Ishihara of the old devil when we will take over the two cities in their entirety, and when will our negotiations officially resume..."

"Okay, you immediately follow the commander-in-chief's order, and send a telegram to the front line and Ishihara Wan'er word for word...."Seeing the combat staff officer behind him, he quickly recorded all the orders, and Zuo Quan opened his mouth to order.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff ...."

When the whole office, once again, there were only the two of them left. Zuo Quan's face slowly revealed a look of expectation, and he asked expectantly at Liu Hua in front of him.

"Commander-in-Chief, what are we going to do next? Do you continue to blackmail Ishihara and get more benefits from Ishihara........."

"To be able to take such a big advantage from Ishihara Wan'er, we should also be content. Otherwise, with Ishihara's shrewdness, he will definitely see that our negotiations are fake, and the delay is real....Therefore, in the next negotiations, we must stick to the negotiation conditions we initially put forward and have a good Tai Chi with Ishihara. As long as the whole negotiation can be delayed for a month, the final victory will belong to us..."Liu Hua said with a firm face.

"In this way, General Stilwell has been in our Nanjing City for two days, and it is time to meet with him. So, in the next negotiations, I intend the two of us to go our separate ways....? ”

"Splitting up?" The chief of staff of Zuo Quan said with a little worry. After all, negotiating separately meant that in the next negotiations, he would have to face Ishihara alone, a master negotiator with rich negotiation experience. Even though he was a high-ranking general who had commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, there was still a trace of worry in his heart...

"Chief of Staff, this is also a last resort....the whole negotiation, the time dragged on too long, and it did us no good. Therefore, in the course of negotiations with Japan, we must finalize as soon as possible the compensation and military assistance that the US Government will give us. Only in this way can we get the most out of this program..."

"Although Ishihara Wan'er, this old devil is more difficult. However, as long as you insist on our conditions and keep arguing with him, he will not find anything....As for me, I will try to extort enough benefits from General Stilwell within these two days to reach a final aid agreement with the US government...."Liu Hua analyzed.

"Okay, then go your separate ways..."

A day later, Beijing and Shijiazhuang, two cities occupied by the Japanese invaders for several years, returned to the hands of the Chinese army amid the cheers of the entire Chinese people. Chinese and Japanese negotiators, Chinese and American negotiators, almost at the same time, sat at different negotiating tables and began a new round of confrontation....

Seeing General Stilwell, who was obviously a little haggard after two days of waiting, Liu Hua spoke first.

"General Stilwell, I have strictly followed our agreement, and in the past few days of negotiations with the Japanese government, I have not given any promises to the Japanese government. I just don't know if General Stilwell's consultation with your government has yielded any good results..."

For Liu Hua's straightforwardness, General Stilwell seems to have expected it a long time ago. As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, the haggard look on General Stilwell's face was covered up by a trace of shrewdness at the first time. Then, without hesitation, he spoke. …,

"Of course...."

"After being clear about the current situation in your country, President Roosevelt of our country told me in no uncertain terms that in the course of negotiations, I will help the Chinese government to resume development as much as possible, support your army in eliminating the remaining Japanese troops in China, and make more contributions to the peace of the whole world..."

"Huh?" For General Stilwell's sincerity, Liu Hua was obviously taken aback. After all, revealing one's cards to the opponent at the beginning of negotiations is clearly not a mistake that a good negotiator should make.

However, after seriously thinking about General Stilwell's current situation and identity, he was relieved. General Stilwell's several years of life in China, especially those years of fighting with the Chinese army, have deeply integrated the entire Chinese nation into his heart. It can be said that the United States is his motherland, and China is his second home.

Thinking of the various military aids that General Stilwell continued to win for China and the outstanding contributions made to China's development in the middle of later history, Liu Hua's psychology was immediately relieved. So, as the negotiator of the Chinese side, he also asked sincerely.

"General Stilwell, I don't know what kind of assistance your government will give to my country..."

"Commander-in-Chief Liu, this is a welcome gift that President Roosevelt intends to give to your country in order to show his respect for your country, and I hope that Commander-in-Chief Liu will accept it....The entire meeting gift includes a total of ten infantry divisions, one armored division, and one aviation division with all the weapons and equipment of military assistance...."

Generous... After listening to General Stilwell's answer with a smile on his face, this was Liu Hua's first thought in his heart.

So much American-style equipment is nothing to the deep-pocketed US government. However, for the Chinese government, it is incomparably precious. In the past, this equipment would have been enough to equip hundreds of thousands of troops and sweep through all the Japanese troops in the whole of China. However, now these infantry equipment, except for armored divisions and aviation divisions, are nothing to the Chinese army, which can currently produce small arms on its own.

After all, after several years of continuous development, coupled with the continuous arrival of various military equipment aided by the Soviet Union, the output of light weapons in China as a whole has long been incomparable with that of China in the same period in history. Suffice it to say that with China's current production capacity of light weapons, in a year's time, it will equip an army of almost a million people, and there will be absolutely no problems ....

But then again, the equipment of an armored division and an aviation division is still quite tempting for Liu Hua.

Although, at present, the major Chinese arsenals have already begun to work on tanks and aircraft and their production. However, the foundation of heavy industry in China is too weak, and it is absolutely impossible to truly form productive forces and production lines in a short period of time, relying only on the current strength of the country.

So, so far, the entire Chinese army has several armored divisions and aviation divisions in its hands. However, the equipment of these units is either Japanese equipment captured on the battlefield or obsolete goods purchased from the Soviet Union at a high price, and it is difficult for the troops to truly form combat effectiveness.

As for the greeting gift given by the United States, if an armored division and an aviation division equipped with active equipment are equipped to the Chinese army as soon as possible, it will obviously bring a very huge boost to the development of China's armored forces and aviation units.

Thinking of this, a trace of excitement quickly flashed in Liu Hua's heart. However, this excitement did not manifest itself. Instead, he asked Admiral Stilwell in front of him.

"General Stilwell, I don't know through what channel your government intends to deliver this equipment to our territory. You know, these equipment are all equipment urgently needed by our army..."...,

"Shipped from Burma, of course. I believe that Commander-in-Chief Liu, as an outstanding Chinese military strategist, should be aware of the fact that after the former Nationalist Government sent an expeditionary force, the US government set up a huge industrial base in Burma integrating military and heavy industry....If nothing else, this equipment will enter China by road from Burma within half a month and be handed over to the Chinese army...."

Although Liu Hua was very excited about General Stilwell's answer, he did not answer immediately, but fell into deep contemplation. Because, General Stilwell's reminder suddenly reminded him of the two expeditionary battles in the history of China's Anti-Japanese War in his previous life, which he almost almost forgot...

Although, at this moment, the national government has been dissolved, and the second expedition is unlikely to occur judging by the current world situation. However, the first expedition took place a year ago.

At that time, in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and at the same time to make it easier to replenish, so that the government could concentrate on reinforcing the European theater. The U.S. government has directly built a large number of industrial bases and arsenals in Burma and other places. Through these industrial bases and arsenals, the purpose of direct assistance to the Chinese Expeditionary Force was achieved ....

And now, with the failure of the first expedition of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the entire industrial base is like a huge piece of fat for Liu Hua, and he wants to swallow it in one bite.

Thinking of this, Liu Hua seemed to have forgotten the purpose of his negotiation and asked directly.

"General Stilwell, you also know that as a CCP general, I did not have the opportunity to participate in the first expedition. Therefore, the war in Myanmar is not particularly clear. Since your government's industrial base in Myanmar is able to produce so many weapons and equipment in a short period of time, the scale of this industrial base must be very huge. I don't know, General Stilwell, can you tell me about the current situation of the entire industrial base in Myanmar? ”

"Of course.," Admiral Stilwell replied defenselessly....

In the next half hour, Liu Hua slowly learned about the specific situation of this industrial base from General Stilwell. And when Liu Hua finished understanding, he coveted the entire industrial base even more. Because, all kinds of factories in the entire industrial base, especially heavy industry factories, are very urgently needed at present...
