On 19 March, Molotov returned to Yanjing, and negotiations between the two sides officially began.

Of course, this kind of negotiation cannot be like the conditions thrown out by Tang Xu, there is no room for compromise, and Tang Xu's toughness is to draw the bottom line of negotiation in favor of his own side.

At this stage, Tang Xu is no longer good, he is not Molotov's opponent at all, Molotov's opponent, looking at the whole of China, only the prime minister can be competent.

Diplomacy is an extremely advanced art, and Tang Xu's Taoism is still far from it, and he is now a primary school student.

Negotiations are secret, yet public.

As soon as the negotiations began, they shocked the world and attracted worldwide attention, and at home and abroad, I don't know how many Chinese were excited and couldn't sleep all night.

-- Cape Town, South Africa.

On the platform, Li Guoyou was alone, looking extremely desolate and lonely.

Li Guoyou came to Cape Town from China three years ago, and when he first arrived, his hair was still black, but now, he is an old man with gray hair.

Li Guoyou is waiting for the bus.

After a while, the bus came, stopped, the door opened, and Li Guoyou silently got into the car.

"You, stop."

Li Guoyou got into the car, and he was about to walk to the back, but was stopped by the white driver.

Li Guoyou is trembling.

"You can sit in the front." The white driver said again.

Li Guoyou was stupid.

Chinese are inferior people in South Africa, and inferior people are not allowed to sit in the front, and the front is where the superior white people sit.

"Why?" Li Guoyou asked blankly.

"You Chinese are negotiating with the Soviets to return the land you once lost, and I heard that there are several South African ones. In the future, the Chinese are not inferior people, but superior people, and they can sit in the front. ”

Li Guoyou still didn't react, he sat down calmly, got out of the car calmly, and walked calmly.

Suddenly, Li Guoyou's expression was no longer indifferent, and he ran like crazy to the place where the newspaper was sold.

-- New York, USA.

Chinese restaurants in the United States are all kneeling to greet customers, and the guys have to kneel by the door of the restaurant to greet customers.

Suddenly, one day, this habit of the Chinese restaurant changed, and the guy was standing to greet the customer, and the face of the greeting man was filled with an indescribable brilliance.

Americans feel that this change is normal.

…… Reports like this occupy a large number of pages every day across the country.

Donations flew to Yanjing like snowflakes, amounting to $20 million in less than a month.

In the Black God Newspaper, donations from all over the country and around the world are published every day.

In addition to donations, there are countless enthusiastic young people who have gathered in Yanjing, and they want to put pen to paper.

I don't know how many people from the Northeast scattered all over the country moved their families to Hebei, and they couldn't afford to live in Yanjing, so they gathered in other cities and counties.

When Zhang Xueliang arrived in Yanjing, he donated all his property, and in order to become an ordinary soldier, he returned to his hometown in the Northeast.

The prime minister personally greeted Zhang Xueliang and ordered Zhang Xueliang to form the Northeast Army.

A hurricane was conceived on the land of China.

-- Looking at the whole of China, at this moment, the most lost person is undoubtedly Chiang Kai-shek.

All this glory should have been his, but now, it has nothing to do with him, he is forgotten, completely forgotten.

The Black God Army is too powerful.

Whether it is a person or a group, it is not surprising that one or several aspects are powerful, but the Black God Army is powerful in almost all aspects.

Obviously, these newspaper reports are not all made up, at least most of them, but there is no doubt that the power of these reports is extremely amazing.

He, is there really no chance?

In the dark, Chiang Kai-shek asked himself in despair.

-- The momentum suddenly became so loud that Molotov was really surprised.

Originally, Molotov was worried about how to make the momentum bigger, but he never expected that before he moved, the Chinese themselves would make the momentum, and the momentum was far greater than he imagined.

Looks like someone wants to see the Black God Army's jokes!

The Chinese are really a nation with the courage to fight infighting, and infighting is everywhere and pervasive.

Molotov understands the feelings of the Black God Army very well, after the momentum is raised, suppression will not work, you can only follow the trend, otherwise it will be too stupid, and the Black God Army is exactly what it does.

This kind of huge momentum not only oppresses the Black God Army, but also makes Yue Ben extremely scruples, and this is also an important purpose, even the only purpose, for them to participate in the negotiations.

It would be great if the negotiation itself could contain the story.

Time, what they need most now is time!

-- On 23 March, the company began to increase its troops in large numbers in the northeast.

There is no doubt that this is a signal.

Germany, invading the USSR, was very soon.

However, the Soviet Union still did not react on the northwestern frontier, and it was still peaceful.

-- On 24 March, the chairmen of provincial governments and important military and political officials of all provinces across the country gathered in Yanjing to convene a meeting that was not like the National Congress, but better than the National Congress.

This congress was not initiated by the central political axe, in fact, it was simply connected by the provinces at the beginning, and only then was it officially confirmed by the central political axe.

As the saying goes, no profit is too early to be made, and the purpose of the provinces to make this conference is profit.

The "benefit" that everyone got up early for is naturally the huge interests of the Northeast and the Far East.

territory, they don't want to, because it's impossible, but the interests are not just the territory, in addition to the territory, there are many, many interests that make them blush.

Northeast China, Outer Mongolia, plus the land taken back from Lao Maozi, what a god, how much benefit does that have to be!

As for whether the attack on the Northeast can defeat Yue himself, will stealing chickens not make it a handful of rice? Or is it blackmailing Lao Maozi now, will there be any hidden dangers in the future? Few people think about these now, and even if they do, the element of worry is much less than the element of optimism.

Fortune is such a thing, it is unclear, the way is unknown, but many people believe it, and the Chinese especially believe in this.

In ordinary life, the most obvious area of fortune is gambling, when it is smooth, it is a smooth and a hundred smooth, right and wrong, if you want to win, you must dare to bet at this time.

"Heroes are not free, and heaven and earth will help when they come", "When the big day decides to rise and fall, and the small day decides to be blunt"...... And so on, that's what it means.

In the eyes of the Chinese, China is now Shun!

What's more, in addition to seeking profits, there is also a precautionary consideration.

If, if he suffered a setback, not only did he not bargain, but let Yue himself enter the pass, then at this time, it would definitely be a matter for all Chinese.

This may be a small surname, but it cannot be said that there is none.

Therefore, in any way, they must be involved, otherwise, it is the No. 1 stupid hat in the sky.

It is enough to have one person who understands, not to mention, in this matter, everyone is a person who understands.

Before the start of this conference, the communication between the provinces was unprecedentedly busy, and after everyone arrived in Yanjing, they were also extremely busy, which made the catering and entertainment industry in Yanjing City, which was already extremely prosperous, even more hot.

It was another extremely successful conference, the Black God Army lived up to expectations, broad-minded, and the demands put forward by the provinces were basically met.

One of the main points of consensus in the conference was that each province should form a separate special legion, which was definitely the best of the best.

For the formation of the legion, the Black God Army put forward some requirements, such as the treatment of soldiers, the Black God Army put forward strict requirements, and the conditions were similar to those of the Jinsui Army.

Of course, in order to get the final treatment, there is a premise, that is, you have to go to the battlefield and play a role.

The demands put forward by the Black God Army ensured the combat effectiveness of the provinces in forming legions, and although the provinces would have to invest a large amount of money in this process, this was in line with their interests, because there was an agreement that after the victory in the future, the benefits obtained by the provinces were directly related to their performance on the battlefield, so there was no resistance.

-- Grand Hotel in New York, USA.

Song Meiling's demeanor is always so elegant, but at this moment, no matter how elegant Song Meiling's demeanor is, she can't hide the deep disappointment and worry between her eyebrows...... Also, unwillingly.

Song Meiling has been in the United States for half a month, but there is no progress in the matter.

In New York, she was not particularly snubbed, but neither was she particularly enthusiastic. Not up or down, is the best interpretation of her trip to the United States.

Song Meiling's trip to the United States this time was stimulated by the $500 million that the United States had lent to the Black God Army.

This stimulus is the fear of being abandoned, and the unwillingness that comes with it.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi walked in.

Song Meiling put down the coffee cup, she was about to stand up, but suddenly, she paused again.

These days, Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi are running around, asking people to dig up doors, and they want to get in touch with the big names in Washington.

At this moment, Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi both had spring breeze on their faces.

Song Meiling stood up, very apprehensive in her heart.

Song Ziwen said with a smile: "Third sister, I just got the news that Mr. Hull wants to see you." ”

Mr. Hull is Cordell Hull, Secretary of State of the United States.

Cordell Hull was President Roosevelt's most trusted and relied on aid, and when Roosevelt was elected president in 1933, Cordell Hull was Secretary of State to this day.

It can be said that Cordell Hull could perfectly represent President Roosevelt.

Quickly calming down, Song Meiling asked, "When?" ”

Song Ziwen said: "At three o'clock in the afternoon, the State Council, Mr. Hull's office. ”

It's ten o'clock in the morning, and there's plenty of time.

The three of them sat down on the sofa, Song Meiling frowned slightly, and asked, "Look, what will the American political axe do to us?" ”

Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi both picked up their teeth.

They have the deepest relationship with the United States, they know too well the Americans, and now their situation is getting more and more difficult, and if the Americans agree to help them, the conditions must be extremely harsh.

Of course, they are not afraid of any harsh conditions put forward by the Americans, they are afraid that the Americans will not mention them.

In fact, Song Meiling and them are in the same mind, but Song Meiling wants to ask this, how do they answer?

This is the art of power, habit becomes nature, even family members are no exception. Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi glanced at each other, and then, Kong Xiangxi said: "Although the Americans have loaned 500 million US dollars to the Black God Army, this is only forced by the situation, and the Americans must know that they and the Black God Army cannot pee in the same pot, and we are the best agents of the Americans in China." ”

Song Meiling's brows furrowed slightly, she was not only for Kong Xiangxi's rude words, but also for Kong Xiangxi's talk about the relationship between Americans and them too naked.

-- At three o'clock in the afternoon, Soong Meiling, Soong Ziwen, and Kong Xiangxi appeared on time in the office of the US State Department and Hull.

Hull was almost seventy years old, but still personable, and looked no more than sixty years old.

"Hello, beautiful lady!" Hull was a gentleman, a standard gentleman, and he was polite to Soong Meiling and greeted her in blunt Chinese.

"Mr. Hull, it's an honor to meet you." Song Meiling smiled elegantly and greeted her.

After the greetings, we sat down on the sofa and began to talk.

Hull's words were subtle, but they didn't get in the way of meaning.

As Hull narrated, Song Meiling, Song Ziwen, and Kong Xiangxi's faces became worse and worse, because the Americans were too lenient, and the conditions they put forward were harsh, which they had never thought of before.

The Americans mentioned something else, and they could all tolerate it, but now the Americans even have to take care of their [***], which is too much!

The Americans took care of [***], so what are they messing with?

In the end, Hull threw out a big bone, and he said: "We, the American political axe, will not only arm Mr. Jiang with fifty American mechanics, but also provide a lot of assistance to help you develop the economy and build the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas into China's demonstration areas." ”

The bones are fragrant, but if the Americans' conditions are agreed, then they will really become marionettes of the Americans.

What's more, the Americans still have to take care of [***].

After being silent for a long time, Song Meiling said: "Mr. Hull, the conditions of the American political axe are too harsh, and we can't agree to it. ”

Hull said: "It doesn't matter, we are a cooperative relationship, you Chinese have a good saying, so that buying and selling does not become benevolent." ”

Hull dug Song Meiling there with a word, and Kong Xiangxi hurriedly said, "Mr. Hull, do you see if you can discuss it again?" ”

Shaking his head, Hull said: "We, the American political axe, have always regarded Mr. Jiang as our partner, and the cooperation with the Black God Army is temporary, and the cooperation with you is permanent, but our future opponent in China is the Black God Army, and we must ensure that the American investment will not be wasted." ”

After talking for a while, Hull didn't give an inch, and finally, Song Meiling smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Hull, we can't decide on this matter, we have to consult Mr. Jiang before we can decide." ”

Unexpectedly, Hull shook his head.

Song Meiling, Song Ziwen, and Kong Xiangxi were all stunned.

Her Dao: "Madam Jiang, you know the power of the Black God Army, if the agreement between us is known by the Black God Army, the consequences will be unimaginable, so we will not form anything in writing in this meeting, and there will be no in the future." ”

Song Meiling understood that it was not possible to send a telegram.

-- Chiang Kai-shek was already thin, but now he is even thinner.

Chiang Kai-shek had a deep sense of powerlessness about the current situation, he was at a loss, he never thought that one day, the army would be useless, the money would be useless, heaven and earth, in all directions, it seemed that there was endless cotton, no matter how much strength he had, it was useless, useless at all.

This time, Chiang Kai-shek didn't have much hope for his wife's trip to the United States, but this was the last straw, so he was in such a desperate mood that he was also looking forward to the autumn water.

In the end, the wife returned empty-handed.

In the past, every time his wife came back from the United States, Chiang Kai-shek would go to the airport to greet him, but this time he didn't.

When Song Meiling returned to the Sun Yat-sen Cemetery, Chiang Kai-shek sat on the sofa in a daze, and Song Meiling came in, but Chiang Kai-shek didn't notice it.

"Darling." Song Meiling's eyes were red and she sat next to Chiang Kai-shek.

"Oh, Madame is back." Chiang Kai-shek paused slightly, and then greeted.

Song Meiling knew that it was useless to say anything else, so she lowered her voice and explained the conditions of the Americans.

After Song Meiling finished speaking, Chiang Kai-shek's originally dim eyes suddenly regained their former brilliance, he stood up suddenly, strode to the next room, and stood in front of the huge military map.

Although the United Political Axe was established and the Nanjing Political Axe was cancelled, there were many of the teams under him, all of whom were there, and they were still doing what they should do every day.

Now that the trouble is so fierce, once the Black God Army invades the Northeast, as Chiang Kai-shek, what he is most worried about is that Yuben will attack Shanghai, so now their main job is to defend Shanghai.

Because of this, Chiang Kai-shek did not fall.

Difficulties can change a person, even Chiang Kai-shek, who now finds that his mind is better at work, and he thinks of things that he could not have thought of before.

This is also the reason why he is not very disgusted with the harsh conditions put forward by the Americans, especially the [***] clause that Song Meiling, Song Ziwen, and Kong Xiangxi hate, and he can gladly accept.

Fight against the Black God Army and increase their strength, this is exactly the same goal as the Americans, and to fight against the Black God Army, it is impossible not to suppress [***], he even wants to learn from [***] and the Black God Army, and also have an agrarian revolution.

This is where he agrees with the Americans, and what he agrees with the Americans is that he thinks the Americans are naïve.

No matter how harsh the conditions put forward by the Americans, as long as they throw money and things at him, it will be enough.

After all, this is Chinese land, and under the current situation, the Americans can give him weapons and ammunition and give him anything, but they just can't send American soldiers over, and he can't welcome them.

And as long as the American soldiers don't come, he will be the home here, and as long as he doesn't agree, it will never be the turn of the Americans to be in charge.

Borrowing the Black God Army and [***] to play the Americans, borrowing the Americans to fight against the Black God Army and [***], he is not afraid of this trick at all, he is confident, and he must be handy to play.

What is the purpose of aiding him with fifty mechanics? Staring at the map, Chiang Kai-shek pondered.

Chiang Kai-shek was very clear about the current situation, the General Staff analyzed every day, and he just had no energy, and these were also things to see every day.

Aided him with fifty American mechanics, the Americans said that the closest was to help him fight against the Black God Army and prevent the landing of the Ben in Shanghai, and the far one was to fight against the Black God Army and [***].

Chiang Kai-shek always felt that something was wrong with this excuse.
