Before the counteroffensive was carried out, Huang Ke saw this as an excellent opportunity for the Allies to negotiate and to use this opportunity to completely abolish the many unequal treaties signed by the Manchu government.

Prior to this, many relevant treaties were abolished, such as the tariff autonomy and extrajudicial jurisdiction of various countries in China. However, Britain and the United States and other countries still enjoy some unequal preferential treaties, and in addition to the concessions, Hong Kong and other problems are still serious.

In the morning, Song Ziwen gave feedback on the situation of the US Foreign Ministry. He said that the United States has agreed to give up its privileges in China, and suggested that other allies also give up their privileges in China.

After listening to the report, Huang Ke instructed him on the phone: "The United States' statement is to set the tone, and there is a possible solution to the matter. Your diplomatic department should make a lot of efforts, and it is imperative to abolish the unequal treaties in China. ”

Song Ziwen replied on the phone: "Chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, please rest assured that the comrades on the diplomatic front will do their best. ”

"Well, I thank you for the 40,000,000 people." After speaking, Huang Ke hung up the phone and ended the call with him. Then, he sent the call to the Zaimei office of the Washington China News. His daughter, Huang Ying, the person in charge of the China Daily in the United States, answered his call.

"Father, I'm Ying'er, how are you doing lately?" After Huang Ying answered the phone, she started talking like a homely person.

Huang Ke was deeply relieved after hearing this, and he smiled: "Okay, my side is not bad." How are you in the United States? When do you put things at hand and go home? It's still a good daughter, Zheng'er and Zhengzhong, the two stinky boys, never asked me how I was on the phone, and I just talked about some mess all day long. ”

"I want to go back this summer, aren't we preparing for a counteroffensive now? During this time, propaganda in the United States is indispensable, and it cannot be left. Huang Yingdao.

"Well, okay, you've worked hard over there. By the way, let's get down to business, here's a handwritten letter, and it's appropriate for you to forward it to President Roosevelt's personal representative, and ask him to forward it to President Roosevelt himself. What do you think? Are there any questions? Huang Ke spoke simply.

Huang Ying thought about it and then said, "There is no problem. Is there anything else you would like to forward? ”

Huang Ke smiled, "It's still my daughter who understands me." I don't have any specific words, but I will tell you the gist that 'we are ready to fight back, and before that, in order to reflect the spirit of freedom and equality among our allies, we must abolish the unequal contract of the Empire in China,' and we have no room for negotiation on this point. That's my carelessness, and as for what to say, think for yourself. There's no rush to do this, but it's best to get it done within two weeks. When the letter came back, I asked the embassy in the United States to bring it over. ”

"Well, okay, I'll report back to you when I'm done." Huang Ying also said seriously.

Huang Ke smiled heartily, "Needless to say, 'report', father and daughter are equal, and you are not my subordinate, I entrusted you with this matter, and I should thank you." Say, what kind of gift do you want, I'll go back and have someone buy it for you to bring over? Is it Dongpo meat or Cantonese snacks? ”

Huang Ying only showed the appearance of a daughter at this time, and she kept nodding on the other end of the phone, "All of them." ”

Huang Ke smiled heartily after hearing this.

After ending the call with Huang Ying, Chen Liewen walked in and said, "General Sun Liren is coming over at noon, what time do you think you will arrange to meet him?" ”

Huang Ke thought for a while and said: "Liren came all the way from Myanmar, you first arrange for him to rest and arrange an hour for us." ”

Chen Liewen was a little embarrassed after hearing this, he thought about it and said: "There are still some foreign affairs activities in the afternoon, and I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to arrange an hour. ”

Huang Ke thought for a while and said, "Then arrange a lunch time to meet Liren, and I will have lunch with him again, and talk while eating, so that there should be no problem for an hour." ”

Chen Liewen looked at the arrangement and said, "Okay, then I'll arrange it." By the way, Director Yang Yibing said that there was something to report, and he came over in the morning. Look, don't you want to be gone? ”

"Okay, let him in. By the way, bring me the documents of the General Staff and the Ministry of Communications in the morning, and I'll read them now. After speaking, Huang Ke began to review the documents submitted by various departments.

After a while, Yang Yibing, dressed in a light blue national uniform, walked in, and after standing up and saluting, he stood in front of Huang Ke.

"Sit down, O Volunteers. Tell me, what do you have to say? Huang Ke continued to review the documents in his hand.

Yang Yibing thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Comrade Xinghua, there are two things I want to report to you personally. ”

"Okay, you say." Huang Ke continued to review the documents.

Yang Yibing continued: "First of all, it was from Myanmar. Aung San's independent government now has the conditions to operate independently, and Aung San has put forward the condition that we should give them independent administrative and military powers, and our comrades there have reached a stalemate in negotiations with them. ”

The pen in Huang Ke's hand was still writing, "This matter is expected, Aung San now sees that the British also want to intervene, so he naturally waits for the price and sells or sits on the ground to start the price." Out of the way, is there an arrangement for noon? Wait a while, General Sun Liren from Burma will come over and stay for dinner together, and we'll talk about it. By the way, what about the other thing? ”

Yang Yibing leaned forward and whispered, "Our people have been stationed in the Northeast region, and according to what you said, we have not found a suitable agent at present. Koreans in the Kwantung Army are basically pseudonyms Japanese, so it is a bit difficult to identify them. ”

The pen in Huang Ke's hand stopped, he put down the pen and said seriously: "Your strength in the Northeast is weak, and it is understandable that it is difficult to carry out work. However, it cannot be used as a reason for inaction, and there are difficulties to be overcome. Before counterattacking Korea, we must choose a North Korean to train as a candidate for our support on the peninsula in the future. It's not a rush, but it's not too slow. There are a lot of people on the Korean Peninsula who are watching. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Yibing said: "On the Soviet-North Korean border, there is a North Korean army supported by the Soviets, and there is also a North Korean government-in-exile in the occupied area of Shanghai. ”

"One is to liaise with the Soviets, and the other is to liaise with Britain and the United States, and I'm afraid they won't be too close to us in the future." Huang Ke picked up the pen, twisted the cap of the pen and sighed: "You can contact them, but the main force of the Japanese army to counterattack the Korean Peninsula should be us, and liaising with a close political force will help us carry out our next work." ”

After speaking, he emphasized: "You should pay attention to this matter and send a capable team to the northeast. I think the people in Myanmar did a good job last time. By the way, the task force sent to Burma should be rewarded for the fact that they have done a good job, and for such an operation, you must send the most capable personnel to these loyal and capable comrades. ”

Although there are some elements of criticism in these remarks, they are more of an affirmation of the work of the pre-dry department. After Yang Yibing heard this, he straightened his heels and leaned on his heels and said, "I must keep it in mind!" ”

"Well, I have some documents to review here. There's nothing you need to wait here for a while, and when Sun Liren comes, we'll go to lunch together and discuss the situation in Myanmar by the way. Huang Ke unscrewed the cap of the pen and said.

Yang Yibing replied and said, "Then I won't bother you, I'll go outside and wait." ”

Huang Ke unscrewed the lid of the green tea cup, "It's okay, seeing that your eyes are red, you must have not slept all night, right?" There's a duty room next door, you ask Fourteen to take you in, sleep for a while, and I'll call you when it's better. ”

Yang Yibing got up and retreated.

Not long after Mei, Fourteen Tsai came in and called him, saying that the chairman was ready and was now ready to go to the restaurant.

He quickly got up, wiped his face with the wet towel on the basin rack next to him, and then rinsed his mouth with the cold water on the table, and then went straight to the restaurant.

In the restaurant box, Huang Ke and Sun Liren were already sitting there, he came in after a report, said hello to Sun Liren and sat down.

"You came just in time, Liren brought the situation about Myanmar, you can communicate more about this matter." Huang Ke Xiakou tea road.

Sun Liren sat down and said, "That's right, Aung San's attitude has been a little vacillating recently, and there are more requirements for us. In addition, the British have been wanting to get involved in Burma recently, and have made various preparations to return to Burma, both diplomatically and militarily, and we hope that the Reserve Cadre Service will send capable personnel to remain in the Burmese government in the form of advisers. ”

Yang Yibing looked at Huang Ke and said to Sun Lidao: "This is no problem. You are responsible for training the Burmese Independence Army, and we are responsible for the formation of the government structure, which we have agreed before. But at the moment, the British are more hawkish in Burma, and if we have too many advisers, will it provoke a backlash from them? ”

This was obviously a question for Huang Ke, Huang Ke waved his hand and said: "It is not appropriate to arrange too much, but there must still be key departments." We can go over in the name of helping them with the structure of their organization. As for the British, soon there will be negotiations between the allies on the privileges of China between them, and it will be more beneficial for you to gain a firm foothold in Burma. ”

After hearing this, Sun Liren said bluntly: "What does the chairman mean that we will exchange their privileges in China with the British in exchange with the British on the condition of Burma and the Hong Kong issue?" ”

After saying that, he felt that something was wrong with this, so he bluntly said: "Just like this, our military presence in the southwest region will be weakened a lot, is this cost too big?" ”
