It is undeniable that Tolman threw out the temptation to lead people's hearts, as we all know, the number and amount of arms transactions are extremely large figures, and the consumption of arms in the war will also be an astonishing number, not to mention, the Pacific War, which does not know when it will end, will make this astonishing number followed by an unknown number of zeros.

The staggeringly large loan principal, more than double the normal interest payment, guaranteed by the national reputation of the United States, is an irresistible temptation, similar to the Chinese usury, and Taoerman believes that Tang Qiuli cannot refuse this temptation, unless, unless he is a fool!

However, Taoerman was disappointed, in the face of such tempting conditions, Tang Qiuli opposite him did not even raise his eyelids, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes, as if the words that came out of Taoerman's mouth were almost like air.

Tang Qiuli didn't say anything, Zhang Quan, Tang Qiusheng, Tang Qiuquan, Wang Xu, Zhao Yuhe and others naturally couldn't speak, but their eyes were full of pity when they looked at Taoerman, just like looking at a primary school student talking about the principles of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in front of a professor.

Taoerman is about to go crazy, he thinks that the conditions are foolproof, moreover, after some conspiracy by those bigwigs in the country, he solemnly took out the conditions, in front of this Chinese, there is no response at all, is this Chinese deliberately hanging his appetite, or in the face of this huge impact, happy and dizzy?

Taolman asked tentatively: "Your Excellency, Vice Chairman, are you satisfied with the conditions given by our country?" ”

Tang Qiuli smiled, took a sip of tea, and nodded slightly as if he was enjoying himself. He said in a calm but unquestioning tone: "Very dissatisfied! ”

The muscles on Taoerman's cheeks twitched a few times unconsciously, at this moment, he almost had the urge to go berserk, it seems that the many adjectives that the British added to Tang Qiuli are not too much at all, sitting in his current position, not like the deputy head of a country, but like a vampire! Will be the United States of America. It became an object that could be greedy for blood.

If it weren't for the fact that the Southwest Pacific, especially Australia and that damn MacArthur, were vital to American interests, he would never have dealt with this nasty and greedy Chinese, let alone looked at his hateful face.

But. Even Taoerman wanted to strangle Tang Qiuli on the spot. He won't do that either. Breaking up unhappily or breaking down negotiations is not the ultimate goal of my trip to Singapore, and I still understand the truth that if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.

Taoerman took a sip of tea, adjusted his clarity, and then said, "Your Excellency, Vice President." Your help to the Allies will always be remembered by our American government, and President Roosevelt sent a telegram to me to convey the following words. In the course of the future war against Japan, Vice Chairman Tang has fulfilled his responsibilities and obligations, then, in the power structure of the Republic of China after the war, you will receive strong support from the United States and other allies. ”

If the former condition of Taoerman is huge economic interests and rolling wealth that can be seen, then the latter condition is a clear attitude of political commitment, of course, there are also threats, and the subtext is that a government of the Republic of China that does not listen to the United States will spare no effort to strangle it!

For any man who pursues the pinnacle of power, this is a more fatal temptation than money, controlling the power of a country and ascending to the throne of the first person in the Republic of China.

This is Taoerman's last hole card, and it is a killer feature, he doesn't think that Tang Qiuli can refuse such a temptation, money and power will be obtained, and the strength will not suffer any loss, the price paid is just to act in accordance with the intentions of the US government and be an obedient person.

Of course, this is a greater benefit for the United States, tying the most powerful warlord of the Republic of China to the chariot of the Americans, as long as his troops join the Pacific Theater and participate in the war against Japan, the situation unfavorable to the United States in the entire Pacific Theater will be completely changed immediately, although the Republic of China is poor and weak, it is undeniable that Tang Qiuli's troops are still quite a powerful thug.

Chinese mainland and the Indochina Peninsula, which repeatedly fought against Japan, have proved this point beyond reproach, so the Americans need Tang Qiuli to throw themselves into their arms, and as for loans with high interest rates, it is not a problem at all.

After the war, the huge Chinese market was the best dumping area for American products, and the huge trade deficit would enable the United States to repay its loans, including interest, without much effort, and for the United States, it would be a huge stimulus to industrial production, which would enable the American economy to take off rapidly.

After President Roosevelt and his think tanks realized that it was inevitable to deal with Tang Qiuli and must use the strength in his hands, they formulated a series of long-term strategic plans for Tang Qiuli, the core of which was to tie Tang Qiuli to the American chariot!

After listening to Taoerman's words, Tang Qiuli's originally calm face changed, with a trace of an inscrutable sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he said in such a calm tone: "Envoy Taoerman, we are talking about business now, that's all, don't have anything to do with politics, I'm not interested!" ”

After speaking, he slowly stood up, and then said: "Two envoys, I'm very sorry, I still have an important meeting, so I won't accompany you!" ”

Tang Qiuli's sudden move suddenly disrupted Tolman's wishful thinking that he could succeed 100 percent, and Tang Qiuli's sudden departure also meant that even the previous agreement to escort the US troops on Luzon Island had the possibility of dying halfway, and such a consequence was something that Tollman could not afford, that is, the lives of more than 200,000 American and Philippine soldiers on Luzon Island could also allow President Roosevelt to plunge himself into the abyss of no return!

Therefore, Tang Qiuli must not leave the table, Taoerman was anxious, and said loudly: "Your Excellency Vice Chairman, please stay, I am willing to negotiate according to your wishes, please look at the relationship between the allies, and the United States has high hopes for you, we will continue to negotiate!" ”

Tang Qiuli stopped, smiled and said: "Special Envoy Taoerman, let me emphasize that my relationship with your country and Britain is only business dealings, as for the specific operation issues, our logistics minister, General Zhang Quan, will carefully negotiate with you and leave!" Then he calmly gave and left.

As soon as Tang Qiu left, Tang Qiusheng, Tang Qiuquan, Wang Xu, Zhao Yuhe and several other senior officers also left one after another, leaving only Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, the head of the logistics department, who looked at the overwhelmed Taoerman and Sicordias, and his eyes were eager to try, completely looking at the appearance of two fat sheep who had been stripped of fine, shiny oil, and thick fat.

After Tang Qiuli left the office, he walked around the office building, and when he saw that there was nothing to do, he returned home, and enjoyed a delicious meal cooked by Mei Xue herself, and made a table of delicious food.

Tang Qiuli was munching on the desk and asked Mei Xue, "Xue, what day is today, why do you think of treating me?" ”

Mei Xue sat opposite him, while constantly picking out the meat and bones for him to gnaw, and said: "You slow down, no one robs you, and there is nothing special, just to see you in the past few days, you have been staying in the office, you haven't eaten well or rested well, to replenish your body, my sister and Xinlanke have both sent letters, and I have been told to take care of you, if you, the master, are not in good health, the two of them can spare me!" ”

Saying that, Mei Xue glanced at him very coquettishly, Tang Qiuli suddenly stopped talking, patted his head with his oil-stained hand, and said: "As soon as you say it, I think about it, in the past few days, I am going to the Northeast, and I will go back to Dingbian by the way, you can also go back with me, I haven't seen my parents for more than a year, speaking of which, Jia Lin's little girl, should call Dad, right?" ”

Mei Xue pulled his oily hands down from the door of his head in disgust, took out a fragrant handkerchief, wiped the oil stains on it, and said a little sadly: "Do you remember that you have a daughter, and you left your sister and Jia Lin on the side, and it was more than a year to lose it, and my sister wrote a letter, although I didn't say anything, just told me to take good care of you, but I know that my sister is very bitter in her heart, and she has been married to you for a few years, and the most is worrying!" ”

Mei Xue's babbling words seemed to be very close and very far away, but they dragged Tang Qiuli's thoughts back to his memory at once.

In the ancient city of Beiping, the cold female lieutenant colonel of the Military Command Bureau, who met for the first time, made a decisive decision to kill, and in one fell swoop to pacify the director of the inspection department of the pro-Japanese forces in North China, after being assassinated, the weak woman whose fate was hanging by a thread, accompanied her to meet Zhang Yang, and single-handedly leveled the director of the political training department of the Xi'an Station of the Military Command Bureau, the girl in the Taihang Mountains, who rushed to herself and blocked the shells for herself on the battlefield where the Japanese artillery was raging.

Huangyadong Arsenal, the rescue of the Grim Reaper, the western suburbs of Nanjing, the ancient town of Moling, the hometown is more timid, the lonely and helpless and hesitant Mei Ting, the Pingjin battlefield, returned to Dingbian alone, in his eyes, full of reluctant wife, scenes of the past, like a movie, in Tang Qiuli's mind, quickly showing a vivid picture, he found that he still clearly remembered every day and night with Mei Ting.

Seeing her husband's eyes blurred and distant, Mei Xue couldn't help but lean on his shoulder and asked softly, "Qiu Li, what do you remember?" ”
