Chapter 1070: Roosevelt's Attention
Roosevelt's attention.
At the Shanghai Naval Port, the huge hull of the cruiser 'Wuhan' was just approaching the pier. Deng Gong, who had already rushed to Shanghai in advance and was about to meet Liu Hua, greeted him directly with a smile.
The cruiser had just put down its heavy gangway, and Liu Hua, the vice chairman in an ordinary military uniform, was the first to step off the cruiser ....
"Vice Chairman of the report, Xiaoping of the Government Council has been ordered to come to greet you and meet you..."
Although he did not wear a military uniform, he had a perennial relationship between superiors and subordinates in the military system. At the first moment when he saw Liu Hua, his old partner, Deng Gong couldn't help but salute and reported with a serious face.
"Old Deng, now you're no longer a soldier... Besides, we are all old partners, and we still need to be so polite....let's go, let's go to the military port headquarters to rest and rest first, and then explain to me the tasks given to us by the central government. I believe that the central government's dispatch of such a large-scale delegation to visit the United States this time must not be as simple as it seems on the surface..."Holding Deng Gong's hands tightly, Liu Hua sighed with emotion.
"You are the head of the visiting delegation, I will listen to you....Director Wang, immediately order the military port command to prepare a small conference room for us. During my meeting with Vice Chairman Liu, no one is allowed to disturb me...."Deng Gong nodded with a smile, and ordered with a dignified face to the deputy director of the General Office of the Government Council behind him.
"Yes, Chief...."
In the small conference room, Liu Hua, who had traveled at sea for dozens of hours, couldn't help but rub his forehead. glanced at his old partner Deng Gong who was sitting in front of him, and said directly after everyone else had withdrawn from the conference room.
"Lao Deng, do you have any other explanations from the chairman and the prime minister?"
"Vice chairman, it's really as you guessed at the dock, the two bosses really have some things and secret tasks to confess...."Speaking of this, Deng Gong's face immediately became serious.
"During your expedition to Japan, the main forces of the Northeast Field Army were all concentrated on the Korean battlefield. The Soviet Red Army, located in the Far East, launched dozens of tentative attacks on the defenders of our border. However, our Northeast Field Army, which has fought bloody battles for several years, is not vegetarian, and not only holds the border. They also ate nearly a thousand Soviet Red Army troops who crossed the border to attack in a row, and they couldn't tell if they were bitter..."
"Because we and the Soviet Union are both in order to avoid contradictions and publicity, these frictions have not been announced, and only some high-level officials know about them. However, after this incident. The two bosses are becoming more and more uneasy about us, the big brother of the Soviet Union. Therefore, I hope that through this visit, we can establish diplomatic ties with the U.S. government and get the moral support of these allies..."
"Holy shit, World War II has just ended, and it's starting to be restless... It seems that Stalin, who has a great appetite, will sooner or later provoke disputes between China and the Soviet Union because of his enthusiasm for land...."Thinking of the disputes that continued to erupt between China and the Soviet Union in later generations, Liu Hua couldn't help but say fiercely.
"Old Deng. Let me put it bluntly, the secret task given to us by the two CEOs is to find a way to unite with the US government....If there is a real dispute on the Sino-Soviet border, I hope that the US government will be on our side...."
"Yes. That's what it means...."Deng Gong replied affirmatively.
"The two elders always plan to plan ahead. However, I believe that the two of us will be able to successfully complete this task? Liu Hua said confidently.
After the end of World War II, one of the important reasons why the Soviet Union and the United States engaged in an arms race that lasted for decades was the fear of the capitalist countries of Europe and the United States, especially the fear of polar bears, which had a strong desire for land.
Liu Hua believes that once the Chinese government, which is temporarily unable to expand outward, will hand the United States an olive branch to suppress the Soviet Union, in order to suppress the increasingly powerful Soviet government. Roosevelt of the United States, and even Roosevelt's successor, will be very happy to accept this olive branch.........
The Chinese government delegation headed by Liu Hua, vice chairman of the central government, and Deng Gong, vice premier of the State Council, has just set off on a warship. The U.S. government, far away on the other side of the Pacific, received a telegram from the Chinese central government....
After reading the telegram from the Chinese government, Roosevelt looked directly at the chief of staff, Admiral Marshall, who looked contemplatively in front of him. Asked.
"Marshall, what do you think of the Chinese government's intention to visit our country this time... Is it really just for the sake of purchasing various industrial equipment that is in short supply in China...."
To be able to become the chief of the general staff of the US military, Marshall's ability is not only reflected in the military, but also in politics. In the immediate aftermath of World War II, the Chinese government, which was also in power, was not the first to visit the Soviet Union, which had a common system, but the United States, a capitalist country.
Almost as soon as Marshall read the telegram, he smelled something unusual about politics.
Marshall did not give an answer to President Roosevelt's question, but directly asked: "Your Excellency, I don't know what you think about the current Soviet government, especially Chairman Stalin...."
"A greedy Russian...," Roosevelt replied affirmatively.
"As for the current Soviet government, World War II has just ended, and the world is just getting closer to peace. He has slowly exposed his ambition to draw some small countries around him into their system step by step....If we can't curb the spread of this red idea as soon as possible, it is conceivable that it will not be long before our US government will be threatened by this red trend."
Marshall nodded noncommittally to Roosevelt's answer. Then, he took out a secret telegram recently received by the Intelligence Bureau and said: "Your Excellency, this is a secret situation that an American engineer working in Northeast China accidentally discovered......
"During the Chinese expeditionary force's expedition to the Japanese mainland, the Soviet Red Army in the Far East took advantage of the favorable opportunity of the Northeast China Field Army's large-scale counterattack on Korea to launch an attack on the Chinese garrison troops on the Sino-Soviet border...."
President Roosevelt, while shocked by the news, immediately realized something from the news, his eyes lit up, and he quickly asked rhetorically.
"How did it turn out?"
"How could the Soviet Red Army in the Far East, which had not conducted actual combat for a long time, be the opponent of the squadron that came out of World War II, and several attacks ended in failure, and it also lost a lot of troops...."The Soviet Union was deflated, and Marshall, who had different beliefs, was of course happy, and said with a smile on his face.
"There was a conflict on the Sino-Soviet border....both China and the Soviet Union were under the same leadership....the Chinese government visited our country...."Roosevelt frowned and muttered to himself with a pensive expression.
And at this moment, Marshall seemed to think of something again, and continued to remind: "Your Excellency, there is one more thing that deserves our attention...."
"According to some treaties between China and the Soviet Union....after taking power in the Soviet Union, Lenin, the first general secretary of the Soviet Union, promised the Chinese government to return all the territories that Russia had ceded from the Chinese government in history....However, after Stalin came to power, this promise seems to have been slowly forgotten by the Soviet government...."
As President Roosevelt, who led the U.S. government to victory in World War II and to prosperity, his political vision was unparalleled. As soon as Marshall's words fell, he keenly discovered the key.
Facing Marshall, he asked expectantly: "Marshall, you mean that the Chinese government has already had a rift with the Soviet Union, and even a conflict..."
"That's for sure. Otherwise, the Chinese government would not have risked offending the Soviet government by being the first to visit our country and sending a leader of a heavyweight country. Marshall, while standing firm in his beliefs, continued to speak his heart. …,
"Your Excellency, this is a conclusion from the latest analysis of our Intelligence Agency. If there are no accidents, Liu Hua, the head of the Chinese delegation who is about to ask our country, will become the next supreme leader of the Chinese government..."
"The Chinese government directly sent its next top leader to visit our country, although in the name of going to our country to procure industrial equipment, but the meaning contained in it is self-evident..."
Chief of Staff Marshall's bold conclusion sounds very ridiculous. However, after careful contemplation, Roosevelt had to admit that such a thing could really happen. But, in any case, for the US government, which wanted to contain the development of the Soviet Union, this was an opportunity to win over the Chinese government on its own.
In order to curb the invasion of the Soviet Red Tide and to make the government pay a smaller price, it is undoubtedly the best choice to win over the Chinese government adjacent to the Soviet Union. As for the Chinese government, which is also in power, Roosevelt had no worries at all. In his eyes, with China's current domestic situation, at least in the next few decades, the comprehensive national strength will be under the US government, and there is no strength to expand outward.
Thinking of this, my mind, which was still chaotic just now, immediately became clear.
Facing Marshall, who was smiling in front of him, he spoke directly.
"Marshall, this is an opportunity from God to the U.S. government. Whether we can grasp it or not, we have to fight for it. ”
Of course, even if this opportunity is not seized, the Chinese delegation's huge purchase order worth one billion dollars is a huge asset for the current US government. Therefore, in any way, we must be cautious about the delegation from the Chinese government and the future top national leader of the Chinese government..."
"Your Excellency, that's what I mean," Marshall affirmed.
"After the arrival of the Chinese delegation, I hope that I will go to greet him on behalf of the US government and have a good meeting with Liu Hua, who has the title of 'God of War' in the Middle Realm. At the same time, I also hope that Your Excellency the President will be able to take a moment out of his visit to meet with the Chinese delegation to express the importance that the US Government attaches to it..."
"Marshall, rest assured, I am also very interested in the future leader of the Chinese government. Not only to meet him, but also to have dinner with him...," said President Roosevelt with a gentlemanly face. (To be continued.)
