"The weather is nothing unusual today."

Looking at the still gloomy sky outside the window, He Zhenhan looked at He Yingqin with surprise and some consternation...... In his old memory, "Granny He" should not be so direct and so naked to reveal the true thoughts of someone's heart, especially if that person is still a foreigner, let alone right. You must know that even when the Great Wall was fought against Japan and the Nationalist Government was forced to negotiate with Japan, He Yingqin, as a representative of the Chinese, was so bullied by the Japanese, and even legend has it that he was put on the neck with a knife by Takashi Sakai...... But that's all like that, and he didn't say anything serious to the Japanese, which shows the strength of his "forbearance" skills. But now this old guy actually said such heavy words to Stilwell, to this person who represents the United States and represents the "food and clothing" of the future Chinese army...... He's not sick, is he?

"Mr. Minister—"

He Jinhan was surprised, let alone Stilwell. Historically, Chennault evaluated Stilwell's performance in China as a "foreign master...... Although the current situation is not quite the same as the original history, Stilwell's mentality has not changed much. On the contrary, because the Chinese government has previously expressed its refusal to accept him as chief of staff for the Pan-Western Pacific Theater, he has a worse view of China and is more eager to make some achievements to prove his ability. Therefore, He Yingqin's words that pointed directly to his true thoughts in his heart made him blush immediately:

"Mr. Minister, you have to be responsible for what you say! For my military exploits? I am for the cause of the anti-Fascist period in the whole of Asia, and for the sake of defeating the Japanese as soon as possible......"

"If you want to defeat the Japanese as soon as possible, you should arm the Chinese troops as soon as possible! Instead of rushing them to face the menacing Japanese with insufficient equipment. He Yingqin snorted coldly: "The Japanese have already defeated MacArthur, and now they have no power to fight back Percival...... As the Minister of Defense of the Republic of China, I do not think that our soldiers are more combat-ready than the soldiers of Britain and the United States! ”

"But you have defeated the Japanese many times!" Stilwell exclaimed.

"That's a victory in exchange for the lives of our soldiers!" He Yingqin's face darkened, "You still ask us to do this." Then do you think that the lives of our Chinese are worthless, and we can sacrifice for your military merits at will? ”

"Y-you're unreasonable!" Stilwell was furious.

"Am I unreasonable?" He Yingqin sneered again, "As a representative of the U.S. military, you don't even care about the agreement between China, the United States and the United Kingdom, and blatantly violate the consensus reached by the governments of the three countries.

"You-"

Stilwell's face flushed again. He Yingqin's words once again hit the nail on his head. Yes, he can paint his plans in all sorts of magnificent colors, but no matter what. None of them could change the fact that the Chinese government had promised to go to war two months after the agreement was signed with the aid of Britain and the United States, but now neither of these two conditions had been met, so his plan violated the trilateral agreement. The Chinese have good reasons for refusing to send troops. And his insistence is actually not much different from messing around.

"Teacher. I think. General Stilwell was only anxious about the war in Malaya, so he was a little more urgent. Why don't we discuss it again? He Jinhan suppressed his curiosity about He Yingqin's sudden tough attitude, and said cautiously, trying to ease the atmosphere in the room.

"Anyway, it's impossible for me to order the troops." He Yingqin snorted coldly. "As Minister of Defense, I can't afford to let my soldiers rush into battle when they are not well equipped. That is not only irresponsible for their lives, but also irresponsible for the entire war situation in Southeast Asia. Even if the chairman of the committee personally gave me an order, I would never agree to it. ”

"Uncle! Still acting at this time? If it was really Lao Jiang's order. Do you dare to say this? I'm afraid it's been a long time ago. He Jinhan pouted secretly on the side, but as the only "lubricant" in the office, coupled with his consistent understanding of He Yingqin, he naturally knew what to do:

"General Stilwell, don't blame my teacher for not cooperating. We do have a hard time. China has gone through years of war, and the whole country is actually exhausted. Not to mention equipment, many of our troops are seriously short of ammunition......"

"Of course, I know that China has been fighting for several years, but can you gather the supplies and equipment, as well as the ammunition......"

was hit by He Yingqin's series of hard tops, although he was still full of anger, but Stilwell didn't dare to be so tough, but he was obviously prepared for the difficulties raised by He Jinhan. But he didn't know what to say, it was his words, not only He Yingqin's face suddenly turned iron-blue, but even He Jinhan almost scolded:

"General, you mean...... For the sake of the Southeast Asian battlefield, can we abandon the Chinese battlefield? ”

"No, I—I didn't mean that." Stilwell hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm just saying that you can gather some of the ...... On the premise of not affecting the situation on the battlefield in China. ”

"Very good proposal, so good! It's a pity that we don't have as much money as you in the United States of America! He Yingqin laughed angrily, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, and directly began to bombard: "I'm tired, there is still an important military meeting to be held in a while...... Junshan, help me deliver General Stilwell! ”

"Mr. Minister......

Stilwell was in a hurry, and he worked hard to draw up the battle plan, and even exchanged views with the Pentagon about it. Therefore, if it cannot be implemented, not only will his previous efforts be in vain, but it will even be a shame for those colleagues in the Pentagon...... This is unacceptable to him. But he really didn't expect that his plan would encounter such great resistance. In his view, even if the Chinese side will express doubts or resistance to his plan, as long as he insists and exerts a certain amount of pressure, the other side will give in. After all, the Chinese also need "handouts" from the United States! didn't expect Chiang Kai-shek to not want to see him, and now even He Yingqin doesn't want to pay attention to him. But he didn't think it was his fault...... Before coming, Roosevelt and Marshall had warned him that the Chinese would definitely make trouble in this cooperation. Because in the previous contacts between the three countries, the Chinese have shown considerable ambition and will certainly not sincerely cooperate with them. Therefore, he decided that it was not that Chinese could not see the urgency of supporting the British, nor the feasibility of his plan, but that Chinese did not want to help the British at all...... He decided to come up with his killer idea! However, before he could speak, He Jinhan stood in front of him:

"General, I'll send you out!"

……

"Teacher, why do you want to offend that Yankee?"

If people don't talk to you, you can't just die, it will seem too uneducated! And Stilwell also looked down on He Yingqin...... As chief of staff of the Pan-Western Pacific Theater, in his opinion, Lao Chiang is the only one in China who can talk to him on an equal footing, and considering the relationship between China and the United States between supporting and being supported, as well as the gap between China and the United States in terms of military strength and military level, although Lao Chiang is nominally the commander-in-chief of the Pan-Western Pacific Theater, he should also listen to him in specific affairs. Therefore, after He Yingqin issued the eviction order, although he was unwilling, he still left angrily. He decided to go to Lao Jiang again to put pressure on him...... And He Jinhan also saw a certain determination from his performance when he left, so after sending him away from the Ministry of Defense, he came back to find He Yingqin and expressed his worries to He Yingqin:

"We still need the help of the Americans. And I've heard that this Stilwell happens to be in charge of distributing the supplies for American aid. You have sinned against him like this, in case he ......"

"Afraid of what?" He Yingqin smiled disdainfully, "It's just a person with low eyes." Barely able to talk on paper, just self-righteous. Although we need US aid now, I can tell you the truth, Junshan...... We still have the strength to support. I'm not afraid of what will happen to them. ”

"Do we still have support?" He Zhenhan was stunned, "This, this can't be possible, right?" Although I am no longer in the army, I know ......"

"How many do you know?" He Yingqin glanced at this "down-and-out" student sympathetically, "Let's tell you the truth, our reserves, it won't be a problem to beat the Japanese again." Therefore, even if Britain and the United States talk about aid, we are not afraid. As long as they survive the first period of time, they will be the ones who will be uncomfortable. When the time comes, they will have to beg us with a sloppy face. ”

"I see." He Jinhan exhaled lightly and said with a smile: "No wonder you dare to throw this Stilwell in the face!" I thought you were stimulated by something. ”

"Of course I was stimulated. These foreign devils always look down on our Chinese, and they dare to be their masters when they send a small soldier over, thinking that they are the savior......" He Yingqin snorted coldly: "They don't want to think about him, if it weren't for the ghosts of these powers behind them, China would have been reunified long ago." Just by virtue of our foundation, as long as we are reunified, as long as we can get the opportunity for peaceful development, how many years will it take to catch up with them? Just one Japan can become a second- or third-rate power in twenty or thirty years, and our China can be even worse? ”

“…… The teacher is very energetic! He Jinhan looked at He Yingqin in astonishment, and it took a long time to hold back such a sentence.

"I didn't pay attention to it before, but as soon as I heard someone say it, I understood." He Yingqin smiled bitterly again and said.

"But I don't think it's good to get into too much trouble with the Americans." He Zhenhan said again.

"Of course I know. So......" He Yingqin looked at the door and sneered, "Junshan, are you interested in going on a business trip?" ”

"On a business trip?" He Zhenhan was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced, "But according to the teacher's orders!" ”

"Send Stilwell to Guilin and let him find Qin Wei!" He Yingqin said with a sneer. (To be continued......)
