Chapter 396: Meeting

8 a.m

"Jianming, Liaoyuan City has been defeated!" At Su Tong's house, the intelligence head of the family, Xia Da, gave Chief Su a telegram jointly signed by Wang and Liao, who was eating breakfast.

"Yes, that's good!" Su Tong bit a large cake in his mouth, and looked at the telegram in his hand, "Needless to say, Wang Dayong is a fierce general, Liao Yaoxiang, there is a way to fight, knowing that the strengths and weaknesses of tying the troops into a ball and advancing together are quite like bulldozers!" ”

Yulia, who was sitting on the side, was five months pregnant, her belly was already high, and she was sitting lazily beside her husband at the moment, happily stroking her towering belly from time to time, while listening to her husband and her sisters discussing the current battle situation.

"Honey, can you come back for dinner tonight?"

Su Tong turned his head and looked at Yulia's somewhat longing gaze, and smiled gently, "Baby, I'll try my best to rush back, if you're bored at home, you can go shopping with Fei'er and buy a few clothes!" ”

Yulia pouted and said coquettishly, "You're going to let me go shopping for clothes now?" Are you laughing at me for being a pot-bellied woman? But if you come with us, I'll go.

Su Tong knew that women during pregnancy were more sensitive, and besides, he was busy all day long, and he hadn't gone out with a few wives for a long time, so he picked up the meal and wiped his mouth, and then came to Yulia's side apologetically and hugged Yulia gently, "Baby, I'll take time to go shopping with you in a few days, okay?" ”

Yulia's beautiful eyes wandered, and she looked at her husband softly and smiled: "Forget it, I don't know you yet?" I'm glad you'll find time to have a meal with me, and I don't expect any busy guy in our family to accompany me to the streets. ”

Su Tong touched his nose in embarrassment, it seemed that he really didn't have much time to go shopping with his daughter-in-law, and his promise might not be fulfilled.

Looking at Yulia's pretty face, which was gradually plump due to pregnancy, Su Tong smiled apologetically and was about to speak, when an iron bull's voice came from downstairs: "Sir, Secretary Xi Hanqian has a message asking you to rush to the government building as soon as possible, and Miss Alice, a reporter from the United States, has brought a guest and is waiting for you in the provincial government." ”

"Okay, I'll go!" Su Man agreed, and then went out after kissing Yulia Guanggu's forehead apologetically...

In the Zhangjiakou Provincial Government Building, Alice was sitting in the living room with a middle-aged foreign man in his forties and fifties, with blond hair and blue eyes and bright spirits, sipping coffee.

After taking a sip of coffee, the man asked with a hint of kindness: "Alice, is your work in Huaxia still going well?" If you don't like the job, you can transfer back to Europe! ”

Alice wrinkled her thick eyebrows a little mischievously, and her usual shrewdness and ability seemed to disappear without a trace: "Dear Uncle Hawkins, what else do you think I can do?" I'm just doing my job, don't be so nervous! Besides, I'm a journalist in the most powerful country in the world, and no one dares to do anything to me. ”

Hawkins shrugged his shoulders, "Oh, okay. I won't say much about your work, but I would like to ask you a question now, have you ever been in Chahar's barracks after you have been in Chahar for so long? ”

Alice's thick eyebrows furrowed, "Uncle Hawkins, you must know that I am only a journalist, not a spy!" I won't take the initiative to spy on other people's military secrets. ”

"Hehe," Hawkins laughed, "yes, I shouldn't have asked you that, but dear Alice, since you're a journalist, you should know that it's in our interests as a United States of America." ”

"I hate people who always use the national interest as a guise and do boring things at any cost." Alice said smugly, "You and Uncle Roosevelt are essentially the same people. ”

"Okay!" Hawkins shook his head helplessly, "You and your Aunt Eleanor are carved out of the same mold, and you can't have a typical character that doesn't tolerate sand in your eyes."

As soon as Hawkins said this, he saw Alice's thick eyebrows start to rise again, and hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Okay, let's change the subject, Alice, you have also had a few contacts with the leader here, can you tell me his personality and temper and his political views?" It doesn't go against your principles! ”

"Okay!" Alice nodded, "As for the chairman of Chahar Province, who has the greatest power in China, I have only been in contact with him a few times, and I don't know him very well, but my feeling about him is that he is a somewhat contradictory person." ”

"Contradictory people?" Hawkins asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's a contradiction." Alice frowned: "I usually look normal and easy to talk to when I come into contact with him" is also a very easy-going person. But when confronted with some problems and interests that were in principle, he was like a miserly Grandet, especially in the treatment of the Japanese, he was simply a tyrant. Just a few days ago, his army pressed more than 30,000 civilians from Manchuria to the Japanese reclamation regiment, and he actually sent them all to the mines to mine, and some of them were sent to build roads, and I heard that the environment in the mines was very bad, and people died every day because of overwork, and he seemed to turn a blind eye to all this. I'll report on this in a few days and let the international community condemn their brutality! ”

Hawkins looked at the beautiful reporter who was indignant because of her excessive sense of justice, and said with a wry smile: "Alice, I advise you not to report this matter, because it is useless, and the hatred between these two peoples can only be resolved with blood." ”

"Humph!" Alice didn't answer, just stubbornly raised her eyebrows.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then a figure strode in, Alice and Hawkins fixed their eyes, and the three stars on the shoulders of the person who came and the young face indicated the identity of the person who came, and now the ruler of the four provinces of Chahar, Su Tong, the first-class general of the Republic of China.

Su Tong didn't greet Hawkins for the first time, but said to Alice with a smile: "Miss Alice, we meet again, you must have brought me some good news today, right?" ”

Alice's indignant expression just now seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and she said with a smile: "Of course, General Su, I want to introduce you to a distinguished guest who has traveled thousands of miles from the United States of America today. Alice lightly pointed to the foreigner beside her: "This is Mr. Hawkins, the special assistant to our President Roosevelt, Mr. Roosevelt, this time he has full powers to negotiate with you on behalf of President Roosevelt, I believe he can bring you some unexpected surprises." ”

"Oh, really?" Su Tong also smiled reservedly, turned to Hawkins and stretched out his hand: "Welcome to you, Mr. Hawkins, I hope you can leave you a good memory during your time in Huaxia." ”

"Hello, General Su! It's an honor to meet you," Hawkins also shook Su Tong's hand politely, "I would like to congratulate you on behalf of President Roosevelt, I heard that yesterday your army recaptured another city, congratulations, you are such a brave and outstanding general!" ”

"You may be seated, Mr. Hawkins, would you like something to drink?" After the two sat down on a sofa, Su Tong asked earnestly.

"Thank you, and if you can, give us another cup of coffee!" Hawkins was not polite, and the two sat on a sofa and talked about some polite nonsense, well! In the eyes of Alice next to her, this is pure nonsense.

After elegantly taking a sip of the coffee just brought by the staff and gently placing it on the coffee table, Hawkins said: "General Su, I have been entrusted by President Roosevelt to express to you the admiration and appreciation of the government and people of our country for the unremitting efforts and sacrifices made by you and the local government and army under your leadership for freedom and justice. In addition, President Roosevelt has commissioned me to visit the environment of your area and to make a brief assessment of the combat effectiveness of your troops, and to see if there is any possibility of cooperation between the two sides. ”

"Oh, really?" Su Tong smiled lightly, but he was secretly scolding in his heart, "These Yankees really regard themselves as world policemen, they were like this in their previous lives, and they are still like this now." ”

Although he secretly slandered himself in his heart, he still asked quietly: "Mr. Hawkins, what do you think we can cooperate with?" ”

Hawkins smiled wryly, "Of course, for example, we can cooperate with the Navy in transportation, oil, or "slowly lengthening the voice", what do you think?" ”

As soon as Su Tong heard the word navy, his heart couldn't help beating violently, and he took the opportunity of drinking tea to hide his expression quietly, and asked slowly, "Mr. Hawkins, can you be specific?" ”

Hawkins' smile continued, "General Su, we know that you have always been determined to build a navy capable of defending your country, and this is precisely your country's weakness, although you have received some help from the German government, but please forgive me bluntly that it is not enough. Because for Germany the navy is precisely their weak point, and we in the United States of America can fill your requirements in this regard, you say? ”
