"Your Excellency, I have noticed that your country has always emphasized the terms "total annihilation" or "annihilation", and that in this war, your country has captured less than 400 soldiers of the Chinese army, does this mean that your [***] team refuses to capture enemy troops when fighting? ”

Roosevelt's question made Huang Huiyun's brow furrow, and this extremely unfriendly question was beyond his imagination.

"This question, I am not a soldier, but whether it is total annihilation or annihilation is a military term, Mr. Roosevelt, last year, Kaneko Kentaro's speech, he once mentioned that the army will never surrender on the battlefield, they will fight to the last man, I think the oriental-style law of war is not understood by European and American culture, in the oriental culture, there is a saying of "not for the life of prisoners", for the oriental soldiers, to be a prisoner of the enemy, is a great shame, is unacceptable to any soldier"

After a moment of silence, Huang Huiyun turned to an English-language newspaper report.

"During the first campaign, the Imperial Guard had a reconnaissance unit, which was ordered to go behind enemy lines to carry out reconnaissance missions, and then encountered the Yue army, in order to cover their comrades to complete the task, six soldiers volunteered to stay behind to block the enemy army, and the soldiers missed the last bullet, if according to the humanistic spirit of the West, they have completed their own responsibilities, but the values they have formed since childhood, but let them choose, with the most grenade, and the army will die together, there is an oriental civilization in the East, This is especially true for China, a country that has created the entire Eastern civilization! ”

At this point, Hwang looked around at the audience in the stadium and tried to keep his voice as low as possible.

"In the past, when we were enslaved by foreign races, we were naturally unwilling to die for the colonists, and the free American people in the war were willing to serve in the colonial army? But at this time, after the liberation of the nation, every Chinese is willing to give his life for the country and the nation, China may be a weak country, but please do not doubt that every Chinese is loyal to the country, in the face of foreign aggression, 200 million tragic killing lives remind us of what we should do, that is, to fight to the last man, either defeat the enemy and live in the world, or the whole nation dies in a great war! ”

The stadium fell silent for several seconds as his voice fell, and everyone looked at the polite banker in amazement, they had never expected a banker to say such a thing.

"I'd rather die in battle than be a slave to the country! This...... It is the voice of a nation! Again, the fate of a nation! ”

When Huang Huiyun's voice fell, thunderous applause and cheers rang out in the stadium of Harvard University, and in the applause that resounded in the sky, everyone shouted his words.

"I'd rather die in battle than be a slave to the country!"

Roosevelt muttered this sentence to his lips in astonishment, at least for the time being, and it was seared into his heart.

"Now that the negotiations between your country and Ben have broken down, may I ask you, Your Excellency, what is the purpose of your war? When will the war end? ”

"At a time when our desire for peace is regarded as weakness by the Saysayh, the entire Empire has already made a decision not to talk about peace with the Saysayan army until it withdraws from China! The only bottom line of peace and our only goal is to say that the army will fully withdraw from China! ”

Half an hour later, as soon as the speech and questions were over, the Harvard University Club quickly printed thousands of copies of Huang's speech and distributed it to local branches, public groups, and politicians. At the same time, Smith, the host of the World's Fair, promised to print 2,000 copies at his own expense and distribute them to the people concerned.

Although Huang Huiyun only smiled when he got the news, because that Smith had also printed 2,000 copies of Kentaro Kaneko's speech "at his own expense", Huang Huiyun was very satisfied with this result, and he knew that when such a chain reaction occurred in various places, China's position and proposition on the Sino-Chinese conflict would quickly spread among the American people, and to a certain extent, China could gain the trust and sympathy of the United States.

"We will continue to increase the degree of tackling key problems!"

Saying this, he thought in his heart that he should buy that American newspaper again, everything has a price, especially in the "money society" of the United States, American newspapers need advertising money, and Huang Huiyun does not mind paying hundreds to thousands of dollars of "advertising fees" for those newspapers every week, just the United States absorbs $30 million in bonds every week, and those money is also very worth it.

"President, Mr. Roosevelt left you a note."

After the car left Harvard University, he accompanied Huang Huiyun to the United States and handed him a note.

"Your Excellency Special Envoy, you can hand over your business card to the White House at any time, and I am sure that Mr. President will be more than happy to meet with you! The doors of the White House will always be open to the winners! Your friend Franklin? Draenau? Roosevelt! ”

Looking at the content of the note, Huang Huiyun couldn't help but smile, this little Roosevelt would beat the snake and follow the stick, and now he has become friends with him, and besides, that kid has slammed himself, maybe from the beginning, he knew that President Roosevelt would agree to meet him, and he still needed his "advice" there, so he was really sick and rushed to the doctor.

I think your intelligence bureau should set up a Theodore? Roosevelt's Archives! ”

Seeing that he was a little surprised when he heard this, Huang Huiyun stuffed the note into his pocket.

"Of course it's just a suggestion, kid...... Who knows what the future holds for him? ”

"President, where are we going next?"

He did not respond to Wong's suggestion that the intelligence bureau would collect information about American politicians, but that was not something he needed to ask, but he didn't mind submitting a report asking for attention to the Franklin one. Draenau? Roosevelt.

Cars are driving on the streets of Washington, there are not many cars on Pennsylvania Avenue, and even in Huang Huiyun's view, there are not as many cars in Washington as there are in Nanjing, and when he sees that there are many "Mustang" cars running on the streets, a smile appeared on his face, and every time a foreigner buys a Mustang car, it is equivalent to contributing 201.25 Chinese yuan to China's political axe, and even last month, he continued to contribute to China's war against Benz, and they imported hundreds of cars.

When the car drove to the White House at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, looking at the open lawn of the White House from the car, Huang Huiyun couldn't help but admire in his heart, maybe only the United States in the world, even civilians can enter the White House at will, and then handed his business card to the staff of the White House, asking to meet the president.

It's only the United States!

Huang Huiyun, dressed in a Western-style dress, stepped out of the car with emotion, and most of the tourists and lawmakers who occasionally entered and exited the White House would cast strange glances at the Oriental man with gold unilateral glasses, and some of them had already recognized him and whispered to him.

After entering the reception room of the White House, with some trepidation, Huang Huiyun handed his business card to the staff of the White House.

"Please!"

"Please wait!"

The staff said politely, and then left the reception room.

"Will he receive him?"

Although he had received Roosevelt Jr.'s advice, Huang Huiyun was inevitably still a little nervous now, after all, he knew that this would be Theodore? To a certain extent, Roosevelt was extremely contemptuous of China, and Huang Huiyun still remembers that when he was in the United States, he read some of his speeches in newspapers, many of which would use China as an example to remind Americans to be rich and not forget about national defense, otherwise the United States will become the China of the Americas.

Hope...... Just as I was praying in my heart, in an instant, another door in the reception room opened, and it was President Roosevelt who Huang Huiyun was going to visit this time, wearing a suit and a thick beard Theodore? As soon as Roosevelt saw Huang Huiyun, he enthusiastically and actively stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Huang Huiyun and said.

"Your Excellency, envoy, you asked me to wait, why didn't you come early?"

The unexpected enthusiasm made Huang Huiyun feel flattered, he didn't expect that he would receive this kind of courtesy, and this kind of courtesy was far beyond his imagination.

Although His Majesty has already analyzed this president in his secret telegrams, he will certainly have a friendly attitude toward China because of his interests.

Roosevelt nodded in satisfaction as they entered the oval office arm-in-arm, sensing Huang Huiyun's flattered performance, which was exactly what he wanted to see, and the envoy would definitely convey the goodwill of the United States to the democratically elected emperor.

Two years ago, without consulting the secretary of state, he ordered a statement against Russia accusing Russia of pursuing an unfriendly policy toward the United States in northeast China. Roosevelt privately revealed that the reason why he made this statement was to let the Russians know that "the United States is doing something serious."

It was on the basis of the warnings of the United States that Russia was forced to temporarily back down and agree to open all the ports of the Northeast except Harbin to the Great Powers. But the Russians' answer was not reliable, and Roosevelt understood that a war against Russia could not be accepted by the Americans, and therefore could not be taken to extremes. In the same year, the United States forced Qing Zhengzheng to sign a commercial treaty guaranteeing the opening of the ports in Northeast China, which Hai regarded as a major victory for Roosevelt's China policy. But the Russian threat remains.

And Ben's ambitions for Northeast China provided Roosevelt with a golden opportunity to strike at Russian power. The intervention of the three countries in the return of Liao had caused a great setback to the development of Yueben in the northeast, but it never gave up its dream of establishing hegemony in the northeast. It is not an easy task for the limited national strength of the country to replace Tsarist Russia and become the hegemon of the northeast, and in addition to making military preparations, it is also necessary to win diplomatic support.

The United States did what it liked, and many parties hinted that it would give full support to Yu Ben's actions, and if the United States gave him a look, "they would immediately pounce on the throat of the Russians." It was precisely because of repeated provocation by the Americans that Ben went to war against Russia last year. When Roosevelt learned of the news, he thought he was "working" for the United States.

However, however, Roosevelt did not want to win a complete victory, he only wanted to use the book to suppress Russia, so when the book won a big victory in Lushun, Roosevelt began to worry again, after the complete victory, he became "arrogant" and "turned against the United States", and the book made their answer on conditions that Russia could not accept, and according to intelligence analysis, even if the book won the war, the United States tried to use the plan to open the door to the northeast with the help of the book will also be due to the "monopoly" of the book ** And it is better to help China maintain its control over the Northeast, and now China is a fully open China.

Obedient little man, betrayed the United States! For Roosevelt, who only had the interests of the United States in his eyes, his "betrayal" made him realize that the United States must find a suitable spokesperson in the East, but China took the initiative to jump out at the most opportune time, and their military showed combat effectiveness far beyond his imagination.

"Mr. Special Envoy, have you seen my statement of solemn neutrality urging your country to resume peace talks with you?"

Huang Huiyun, who had just sat down, quickly replied after hearing President Roosevelt's words.

"I've read it, but I'm so disappointed, it's hard for me to imagine that the United States, which regards freedom as its life, should so ignore the most basic demands of a country that yearns for peace."

His answer was as expected by Roosevelt, and he spoke in a firm tone.

"The President of the United States has expressed neutrality, but I am on the side of China, and I believe that on land, your country will be able to win!"

"Yes, Mr. President, I also believe that with the efforts of 1.6 million soldiers, we will definitely be able to win the land war!"

The unexpectedly subtle nature of Roosevelt's position surprised Huang Huiyun, but he immediately raised his own concerns.

"But, Mr. President, we don't have a strong navy, and we not only have a strong navy, but also have signed the "British Treaty of Alliance" with Britain, and now for China, the only thing we can rely on is our friends on the other side of the Pacific, if the United States is not able to endorse the security of our southern seas to protect your investment in China, then we may eventually lose this war!"

President Roosevelt's unconcealed unconcealed performance pleased President Roosevelt, saying that China, unlike the Chinese and the Japanese, had a strong navy and a strong army, and that they had to rely on the United States for help in order to end the war with the Japanese with dignity, even though neither country considered it a war.

"Mr. Special Envoy, if there is an alliance against China, I will immediately stand on China's side and do my best to use all necessary means to safeguard China's interests!"

When Roosevelt made his promises, he cleverly replaced the navy with "alliances", and if Britain intervened in a conflict, then it would be reasonable for the United States to intervene, and if it was only a matter for the two countries, then it would ...... Just let them figure it out on their own! In Roosevelt's eyes, the best outcome was that Russia and Ben would continue to contain each other, and both would be weakened, while China would be able to play its role only after Russia had been severely weakened.

"Mr. President, in order to enable China to become rich and strong as soon as possible, we have formulated a foreign policy of opening up to the outside world in an all-round way, and your country's open-door policy, although to some extent at the expense of China's interests, I still hope that it will also be a good thing in the future, as long as it can be maintained through diplomatic agreements, but as the whole history of Taiwan proves, the open-door policy, once a powerful country decides not to recognize it, then it will disappear without a trace. But only with the existence of the Chinese Empire, he will not give up the move of opening up to the outside world, which is the only way for a nation to seek a new life! Isn't that more wonderful than the open-door policy that relies on the diplomacy of the Great Powers? ”

Huang Huiyun did not directly point out Roosevelt's "language disease", but began his lobbying, in His Majesty's words, that is, to draw a big soup garden for the Americans, as for whether the Americans are hollow after eating, that is China's own business.

"Now, whether other countries are willing to admit it or not, there is an unavoidable practical problem in China, that is, the era of treating China as a weak and bullying opponent, blindly exerting pressure, and military threats at every turn is over, and now the only cooperation can win China's market, not pressure or force! The foreign policy of the Chinese Empire is that we strive to maintain friendly relations with all countries, but this premise is equality, and we are willing to cooperate at any level economically, politically, and even militarily with any country that can wait for us on an equal footing, such as the United States! ”

When Huang Huiyun told this, he paid attention to Roosevelt's expression, and only when he saw that Roosevelt did not show too many complicated emotions, he continued.

"An enterprising China needs American technology, machines, and even universities, and the United States has the largest industrial body in the world, and China has the largest market in the world, and this is a market that is completely open to the United States, and before last year, it was difficult to find American goods in the northwest hinterland of China, and now, in Lanzhou, a woolen factory built entirely with American machines is under construction, and on China's railways, a quarter of the locomotives are made in the United States, While a U.S.-invested locomotive manufacturing plant has broken ground in Zhengzhou, and in Shanghai, a Sino-U.S. joint venture oil refinery has been put into operation last month. ”

Through clever narration and the final rhetorical question, Huang Huiyun successfully left a question to Roosevelt, and the same question is also a fact that he kept repeating to the American people, politicians, and businessmen in his speeches and dinners, that only China with reading power is in line with the interests of the United States, of course, business interests! And that's exactly what the Americans are after.

As far as the United States is concerned, what they are pursuing in East Asia is only commercial interests, and what they need to do now is to do what they like.

"Mr. Special Envoy, you must understand that the United States cannot be involved in a war!"

Roosevelt would no longer have to hide the bottom line of the United States, because he could not ignore Huang Huiyun's "suggestion", and he went on to ask about another matter.

"Now that the negotiations between China and the two countries have broken down, I think you should continue to negotiate, and the United States is willing to play a full role in the negotiations to ensure China's interests, Your Excellency Special Envoy, I think you should convey this message to your Emperor Majesty!"

Perhaps out of concern that Huang Huiyun or the emperor did not understand his intentions, Roosevelt added.

"I know that you are eager to restore your glory with a war, but I need to remind you that if the Russian fleet is defeated, then your country will inevitably face a naval threat, so for the sake of China, now is undoubtedly the best time! On behalf of China, I would like to send this message to the Zoben. ”

"Mr. President, I thank you first of all for your kindness, but Mr. President, I have a question in my heart!"

The smiling Huang Huiyun did not directly respond to the proposal.

"Huh?"

"If China is willing to cease the war now, can His Excellency the President guarantee that there will be no loss of China's sovereignty in the northeast?"
