Chapter 169: How to Prove Sincerity?

Even if Yan'an knows about the visit of the US military delegation, it also hopes to strengthen cooperation with Yan'an. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is just about the project of cooperation, and all the bigwigs seem to be a little hesitant, not knowing what kind of conditions should be proposed.

But at least one thing is well known, and that is that 'there is no such thing as a free lunch'. If you want to get the funds or military aid that the Eighth Route Army urgently needs from the United States, it is naturally impossible to do so without paying a little price.

But for Taizu and many bigwigs, they don't want to involve too much political exchange in this kind of cooperation. If the country's future interests are exchanged with the United States, in the eyes of Taizu and others, the gains outweigh the losses.

Even, if such a cooperation agreement is really signed, it may also bear the stigma of being a 'traitor'!

It is precisely because of these concerns that when the United States has a headache about the cooperation it should carry out with the Eighth Route Army, Yan'an also seems to have a headache. Fortunately, in the three days since the US military delegation arrived in Yan'an, they have been very friendly and polite.

Until Zhou Enlai mentioned this matter, He Zhengdao said very directly: "Chairman, leaders! I think it's better to talk about this kind of thing first, and hear what the other party wants to cooperate with us in that regard.

As long as the interests of the country and the core interests of the party are involved, such cooperation is not necessary. Although we are in financial difficulties now, I believe that if we give us more time, we can overcome these difficulties.

When we came here from the southern Gan Soviet region, how difficult were the days at that time, and we didn't come through it differently? If the Americans are genuinely interested in cooperating with us, they must at least show sincerity in cooperating.

In exchange for national interests or other political conditions, we don't have to cooperate with them. Even if we will have two more years of hard life because of this, we will definitely not accept the blackmail of these foreign devils! ”

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zhu, who was a soldier, immediately nodded and said, "Not bad!" Xiao He is right, we are not the Qing government, nor are we the puppet government's doglegs, we represent the broad masses of the people.

If these foreign devils really want to cooperate with us, then they must show sincerity. As we talked about earlier, the fact that these foreign devils are willing to visit our poor ravine also shows that we are qualified to cooperate with them.

Even if they can't reach any cooperation with us this time, then we will live the same life. I believe that when we liberate the whole territory of North China, I believe that the foreign devils who are willing to cooperate with us should not be their family, right? ”

Listening to Mr. Zhu's mouthful of foreign devils, the bigwigs who participated in the meeting also felt a little speechless. But I have to say that many of them don't have much affection for these foreigners.

It can be said that today's China will become like this, and in addition to the problems of the ruling government at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, these foreigners are also to blame. If they hadn't joined forces to invade and plunder China, I'm afraid that China would not have become what it is today.

After the opinions of the two were finished, Taizu said in a timely manner: "Since this is the case, then Enlai and the righteous path will be fortunate, and contact them first." I think these US military representatives should also want to talk to us in substance.

As far as the current international situation is concerned, although the United States is a bit far away from Europe and Asia, it is also a dominant country in the Americas. But in the final analysis, compared with the European powers such as Britain and France, they lack both economic and military influence.

In this situation, even if they choose a policy of neutrality. But I believe that as the war continues to prolong and expand, they will inevitably join the side. True neutrality is unlikely.

Second, as far as the current situation in Asia is concerned, as the major European powers are turning their attention back to Europe itself. Then their colonial interests in Asia will inevitably be threatened and even plundered by the little devils.

According to the intelligence we have obtained, the United States also has colonial interests in Asia. If they want to keep their overseas colonies in Asia, they will need an ally. And this ally, either us or Chongqing! ”

In the face of these inferences made by Taizu, He Zhengdao also seemed to be a little admired. I have to say that these high-level leaders sitting in the conference room today are no longer limited to the domestic level in terms of overall situation and strategy.

Perhaps He Zhengdao had told too much about international changes earlier, so that Taizu and others slowly paid attention to some political and military trends abroad. I also have more understanding and analysis of the future situation in Asia!

As Taizu and others speculated, after three days of visits and inspections, the US military delegation also had a deeper understanding of Yan'an's strength. Naturally, they were surprised by the conclusions they made.

It's just that from the analysis of the current development situation and the overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in China, the US military delegation feels that it is. As long as Yan'an maintains its current development potential, Chongqing will not be their opponent in the future.

This means that Yan'an, which has been in a suppressed situation, will far surpass Chongqing's overall strength after the end of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the future. So who belongs to China in the future, there are basically not too many accidents.

An army with a very high centripetal force, a ruling team that works very diligently, and a group of people who are very industrious and supportive of the government. These three factors are the reference for the US military delegation to make the decision that China's future belongs to Yan'an.

After the fourth day, as the head of the US military delegation, Major General Sam looked at He Zhengdao, who came to contact, and said with a smile: "General He, thank you for your warm hospitality in the past three days, I want to have some exchanges with your leaders, is it okay?" ”

'Of course! We are already friends, and we are happy to talk to people who are genuinely friends with us. It's just that today the President and our Commander-in-Chief have work, so I'm afraid I won't be able to meet with you.

If you don't mind, wait for our Vice Chairman Zhou, and I can have a good conversation with you. I believe that the next conversation will also be a major event for the first private contact and exchange between our two countries, what do you think? ’

He Zhengdao's so-called 'work' is naturally an excuse. In fact, in He Zhengdao's opinion, at the moment, Taizu and Mr. Zhu don't need to go out in person at all, they just need to give some instructions.

Negotiation is a matter that can be left to Vice Chairman Zhou, who is the best at it. After all, the achievements of this future president in diplomacy are also worthy of the admiration of all diplomats!

Although it was not a formal meeting, I saw that the conference room prepared by He Zhengdao was just a simple cave conference room. But Major General Sam could also see that the guard outside the cave was very tight.

It also means that no one will leak anything about the talks except those who participated in the meeting. But only Major Sam knows that what he wants to do today is more to explore the domestic situation.

After everyone sat down, they looked at He Zhengdao, who was sitting next to Zhou Enlai, and Major General Sam, who was sitting opposite Zhou Enlai, also knew. His previous guess about He Zhengdao was very correct, this young man was indeed very simple.

In addition to being the most famous leading general of the Eighth Route Army, his position in the party is also not low. Being able to participate in this meeting is enough to show that He Zhengdao's status in Yan'an is not as simple as a simple military general.

After some politeness, I listened to Major General Sam who kept changing the topic, more just praising the Eighth Route Army, and also commenting that the current Chongqing government has many shortcomings. This made He Zhengdao feel that it would only be a waste of time to continue like this.

For this reason, he said very directly: "General Sam, I think since everyone is sitting here today, I don't think you will just talk to us about these things, right?" We should know better than you what those people in the Chongqing government are like.

Although we have a certain competitive and even hostile relationship with them, we are still cooperating with them and still allies. We are also grateful for your support for the cause of our country's War of Resistance during this time.

However, this time the general led a delegation to visit, I think you should also hope to strengthen cooperation and even exchanges with our party and our army. As I said earlier, our party and our army welcome foreign friends who sincerely make friends with us.

I'm a soldier, and so do generals. If there is anything to say, I think it would be better for everyone to talk openly and honestly. Speaking of which, I can't stay in Yan'an for a few days, but I'm afraid that I will have to return to the front line in a few days.

I think you know more about the situation of the War of Resistance in China and the situation in the world than we do. If you want to find a friend to cooperate with in Huaxia, we are naturally welcome. But I hope to see the sincerity of your country! ”

Zhou Enlai, who was sitting on the side, listened to He Zhengdao say these words, and his heart seemed a little crying and laughing. This guy is really direct! But I have to say that Major General Sam is playing Tai Chi, and he is really a little impatient.

Fortunately, when Major General Sam heard this, he was not angry, but smiled and said, "General He, as you said, I am also a soldier. But this time, I am also here with the mission of the president and the legislatures.

I do not deny that I am optimistic that your party will play a more important role in China in the future, and my country also hopes to have a firm ally in Asia. When it comes to making friends, we will naturally provide some help within our capacity.

So now I would like to ask Mr. Zhou and General He, what kind of help do you need? What kind of help will we provide to prove our sincerity? ”

He Zhengdao is direct, and Major General Sam is not polite. Such direct negotiations were a bit surprising to everyone. But for those who participated in the meeting, they also knew that the next negotiations would enter substantive negotiations.

But in the face of Major General Sam's rhetorical question, Zhou Enlai also felt a little surprised. Let Yan'an put forward conditions, will the other party agree to any conditions? If yes, then of course it's good. If not, what are the right conditions?

This kind of thing like a lion opening his mouth can sometimes scare away the person who wants to cooperate. So what capital does the Eighth Route Army have to make conditions with the United States? This is what Zhou Enlai thinks should be considered!
