Chapter 917: The United States Intervenes (Ask for Subscription!) )
The United States intervened
Admiral Stilwell, because of the sympathy in his heart, as the chairman's voice fell, he didn't know how to refute in a short time, and he was stunned on the spot. 9vk。 However, after half a minute of thinking, he slowly calmed down, and at the first time, he thought of the telegram signed by President Roosevelt himself.
After thinking of the word "interest" constantly raised by the chairman on the other side, a glimmer of light immediately appeared in front of Admiral Stilwell's eyes.
"Your Excellency, on behalf of the entire United States Government, I would like to express our deep sympathy to you and to your country for the catastrophe that your country has endured. I am confident that the names of the people of your country and the world as a whole will always be remembered for their contributions to the world. Following the chairman's words, Admiral Stilwell spoke, which relieved the respectful atmosphere in the office.
Seeing the sad and indignant look on the chairman's face in front of him, it began to slowly dissipate as his voice fell. Admiral Stilwell immediately seized the opportune moment, followed suit, and spoke tentatively.
"Your Excellency, as you just said, for the sake of the development of the whole of China, as long as the Japanese government can pay sufficient benefits, your government will agree to Japan's request to release the 600,000 elites surrounded by your army... However, if the Allies are willing to give you greater benefits, and at the same time, are willing to pay the full amount of military expenses, ask your army to continue to encircle the elite of the 600,000 Japanese troops in China, and send troops to destroy it. I wonder if your government will be able to consider this proposal..."
"Uh....General Stilwell, I don't know if what you just said is your personal opinion or the opinion of your President, His Excellency Roosevelt..."
"Of course, it is the opinion of the United States Government, President Roosevelt..." Admiral Stilwell did not hesitate to answer the chairman's rhetorical question, and immediately gave an affirmative answer.
"In that case, General Stilwell, I can give you an affirmative answer here. As long as we can extricate the Chinese government from the war as soon as possible, we can negotiate with the US government. However, with regard to this negotiation, our central government has handed over all the negotiating power to Comrade Liu Hua, the current commander-in-chief of the East China Field Army. I believe that General Stilwell can immediately leave for Nanjing to have a specific discussion with Comrade Liu Hua....I believe that you, who are also the commanders of the army, will have a lot of common topics......" The chairman also replied very sincerely to General Stilwell's sincerity. //《》. 《//
"Thank you, Your Excellency, and I am confident that Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua will definitely agree to our request. I immediately set off for Nanjing to meet with Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua. The conversation was successful, and General Stilwell's face was immediately enveloped by a thick smile, and he said with excitement.
"Very well, here I wish General Stilwell victory in the next negotiations. After all, as Japan's sworn enemy, I don't want to see the 600,000 Japanese troops who committed a lot of blood debts in China safely leave China...."The chairman said with a sincere face.
At the General Headquarters of the East China Field Army in Nanjing, General Stilwell had just left the Central Military Commission less than half an hour before a telegram was sent to Liu Hua through the airwaves....
"The fish has been hooked..."
After reading the telegram with only five words written in his hand, a sly smile quickly flashed at the corner of Liu Hua's mouth. Then, he said to Zuo Quan in front of him.
"Chief of Staff, the US Government has sent us a new invitation for negotiations, if nothing else, in the next few days, General Stilwell, former Chief of Staff of the Chinese Theater of Operations, will go to Nanjing City on behalf of the US Government to negotiate with us..."..., "Commander-in-Chief, I didn't expect that the Americans would get involved so soon...."After a short period of excitement, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan said with emotion.
"They had to hurry... Almost all of the Allied soldiers in the entire Pacific theater came from the United States. Think about it, if the U.S. government suddenly loses nearly a million soldiers, will Roosevelt still be able to sit firmly in his presidency....So, it is not us who needs to be anxious now, but the U.S. government? Liu Hua's words pierced the predicament of the US government at this moment and the reality it needs to face.
"Hehe, if you let Roosevelt, the president of the United States, know, that he is being calculated by you. I'm sure Roosevelt would have been so angry that he wanted to shoot you himself... By the way, Commander-in-Chief, what exactly are we going to do about General Stilwell's arrival. After all, Stilwell made a lot of contributions to the war of resistance in China..."
"A grand welcome, of course... Chief of Staff, the whole plan is clear to you and me. In order to show our respect for him, the two of us will greet him in person..."As he spoke, Liu Hua's face showed a serious expression. Because, from later generations, he has always felt sincere admiration and admiration for this chief of staff of the US military who made outstanding contributions to China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief....However, I'm thinking that if this matter is known to the old devil Ishihara Wan'er, he will definitely be angry and vomit blood by our behavior..."Thinking of the scene a few hours ago, after the commander-in-chief directly ordered a guard company to 'greet' Ishihara Wan'er in the face of a negotiation telegram sent by the Japanese army headquarters in Wuhan, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Little devils and Americans are certainly not the same. Not to mention anything else, just because the little devils have killed so many people in China, I will not let go of these 600,000 elites. and asked me to greet him, it was enough to give Ishihara face without shooting him. Americans, although it is said that the assistance to us is for themselves to a certain extent, but, after all, we can still lend a helping hand when our country is in trouble. Besides, we are thousands of miles away from him, at least for a short time, and there is no conflict of interest. Liu Hua replied with a serious face.
"Commander-in-chief, I understand, I'll go and prepare right away..."
Three days later, when the Japanese negotiator, Chief of Staff Ishihara Wan'er, was escorted by a guard company of the East China Field Army, he arrived safely in Nanjing. General Stilwell, who galloped all the way from Taiyuan and hurried, also came to the outside of Nanjing.
As soon as Admiral Stilwell got out of the car, Liu Hua and Zuo Quan greeted him with a smile on their faces. With the etiquette of a soldier, they greeted each other very seriously.
When the two of them stared at each other, Liu Hua, as the host, first spoke enthusiastically.
"General Stilwell, welcome to Nanjing....I believe that you, as the former chief of the General Staff of the China Theater, are now also appointed as the head of the Central Military Advisory Group at the invitation of the Central Committee. You must have a lot of experience in tactical command. This time, you must communicate with all of us more, let us learn and learn..."
"Hello Commander-in-Chief Liu, when I was in Chongqing, I kept hearing your name. You know, you are the anti-Japanese hero of the whole of China. I myself have studied all the battles you commanded, and I can say that I admire your own command art very much. When the time comes, we must have a good exchange..."For Liu Hua's enthusiasm, Admiral Stilwell, who came to negotiate and was already ready to be slaughtered, obviously did not expect it. After a brief moment of shock, he replied with a smile on his face.
However, this smile only lasted less than five seconds, and it was shrouded in a serious look because of the specific mission of coming to Nanjing this time. Then, regardless of what ruined the atmosphere, he asked directly. ..., "Commander-in-Chief Liu, I take the liberty of asking, I believe you should also be clear about the specific purpose of my visit to Nanjing...."
Seeing Liu Hua in front of him, he didn't hesitate, nodded directly, and affirmed the thoughts in his heart. General Stilwell, who had a serious face, continued to ask in the same straightforward manner.
"Then Commander-in-Chief Liu, what I want to ask is, I don't know if your negotiations with the Japanese negotiators have begun. If not, I implore you to immediately stop negotiations with the Japanese. At the same time, I would like to assure you that the U.S. government will compensate your country for all the losses incurred by the failure of this negotiation. ”
Speaking of the topic, Liu Hua's face was gradually shrouded in a serious look. Facing General Stilwell in front of him, he asked rhetorically: "Let me ask General Stilwell, what kind of compensation can your country give us, and how can this loss be calculated?" ”
"The question....ahem... Commander-in-Chief Liu, I think that the losses of your country, we can study slowly? General Stilwell replied with an embarrassed face....
"Slowly study... Easier said than done? In the face of Stilwell's answer, Liu Hua quickly restored himself to the calmness he should have during the negotiation, and continued to ask rhetorically-for-tat.
"General Stilwell, let me ask you another most urgent question at the moment, from today until all the Japanese troops in China are wiped out, who will make up for the losses of our country in the middle....During this period, who will compensate for the development time that our country has been delayed because of the war....In addition, there is a very current question, who will compensate for the direct benefits that the Japanese government has promised us...."
After a series of rhetorical questions, General Stilwell became stunned at one point. After a short silence, he could only shake his head very helplessly, and then spoke sincerely.
"Commander-in-Chief Liu, I have to say that I have no way to make any response to you for the time being. However, I will immediately ask His Excellency the President of our country for instructions, and I will give you a satisfactory answer in the shortest possible time....I just hope that you will not agree to any conditions of the Japanese Government in the short term..."
"Well, I promise you that I will not make any promises to the Japanese government for the time being. However, there is a limit to this time. I believe that three days is enough time for you to ask your president..."The corners of Liu Hua's mouth quickly flashed an unknown smile, and he spoke.
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief Liu..."
