Chapter 186: Hidden Agreement

The agreement was already prepared by the Americans, and after Hull finished speaking, he took it out and handed it to Gu Lianyun and said, "Madam, look at what needs to be changed."

Gu Lianyun looked at it carefully, his face was silent, but he snorted coldly in his heart. Looking at the terms of the entire agreement, it seems that it is very fair to both parties who sign the contract, but because of the hidden agreement behind it, the student army will suffer a big loss. Americans are like monkeys, am I Gu Lianyun a fool? Thinking like this, she put away an agreement and said, "Your Excellency Hull, this matter is very serious, and I will not give you an answer immediately, so I will take this agreement with me first." ”

"No, no, ma'am, you must stay behind the last hidden pact."

"Your Excellency, this agreement, the hidden agreement is the most critical part, so I can't report it to the commander-in-chief."

"You can't take the hidden agreement with you, I'm sorry, it's an order from His Excellency the President."

"It seems that your government has no sincerity at all."

"Madame, we have shown enough sincerity. But you also know that the American people don't want war, and people are war-averseβ€”"

"Well, I can leave a hidden agreement, and if your government insists, I will also report it truthfully to the commander-in-chief."

"Ma'am, how long will I have to wait for an answer?"

"The Commander-in-Chief is now directing the battle in Indochina, and it may take some time for me to find him. But don't worry, I'll try to get in touch with him as soon as possible. ”

Diplomacy is no trivial matter, and signing an agreement is a big thing, and it is necessary for Gu Lianyun to be so cautious, which also indirectly proves how much she attaches importance to this matter. Hull couldn't fault it at all, so the first meeting ended in a friendly atmosphere.

Two days later, at the front headquarters of the remnants of the 1st Division, which was under the joint command of the commander of the 1st Marine Corps, Masuda Tomikawa, and the commander of the 1st Division, Yukichi Yashiro, who were besieging and defending Pai Sarakan, Ouyang Yun received a telegram from Gu Lianyun from the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

In the whole of Thailand, there is now only this Japanese army left, there is no nuisance from the Thai army, and the student expeditionary force has no worries, so Ouyang Yun combined Guo Da's first expeditionary division with the second mountain division of the Bao army and the third mountain division of Bian Jiansheng, and besieged the Pai Sarakan regiment with an army of more than 25,000 people.

The battle in front began again, and in the fierce gunfire of gunfire, Ouyang Yun handed the telegram to Guo Kui and said, "Everyone take a look at it and then express their opinions." ”

The Thai incident was resolved too beautifully, and the destruction of the more than 2,000 Japanese troops who were still trapped in the beast was only a matter of time, and the atmosphere in the headquarters was quite relaxed. Guo Kui was holding a cigarette in his hand, and after looking at it, he threw it away, and his expression became focused. Later, he sent the telegram to Guo Da beside him, looked at Ouyang Yun and said, "Commander-in-chief, the Yankees have bad intentions, this is clearly a pit!" ”

Ouyang Yun nodded and looked at Guo Da.

No one knew that Ouyang Yun's attention at the moment had been completely attracted by another matter. "The Americans are on guard, and this Pearl Harbor attack will not end here, right? If this is the case, although it is a good thing for the entire pattern of World War II, it will be too difficult for us to change the current international status - unwillingly! As he was thinking like this, Guo Da looked at him and said: "Commander-in-chief, I personally think it can be signed, you said that the industrial base of the United States is quite strong, and once it enters a wartime state, it will continue to produce a large number of weapons and equipment - can we use the hidden agreement to counter the United States and let it intervene in the Southeast Asian battlefield?" ”

Guo Kui and Guo Da have been with Ouyang Yun for the same amount of time, and they have witnessed a considerable vision of the big picture. Compared with them, Bao Jun and Bian Jiansheng's insights were much worse. Of course, since it was a discussion, Ouyang Yun would not refute them face-to-face. He finally concluded: "This agreement can be signed, but it will be delayed in time. Time has proven everyone's loyalty to the cadet army, and I won't hide it from you -- the three aircraft carrier fleets we have built in the United States have now taken shape, and two of them directly under our army have been trained for a relatively long time. Lao Guo, Guo Muyi should be in the United States soon, right? ”

Guo Kui nodded: "According to the time, if nothing else, it will be around this week." ”

"Call back to the United States and tell Representative Gu to let her discuss and decide relevant matters with Chen Shichang and Guo Muyi. Tell her that this is an opportunity and that you must take advantage of it! ”

Xin Bao, the new confidential secretary, answered, and went to the communications staff room with the folder.

Ouyang Yun took out a pack of cigarettes, scattered one each, and asked Guo Kui: "Hasn't there been a reaction from the Indian side?" ”

Guo Kui shook his head and said, "Strange, three or four thousand people." After being tempered by the war, it is definitely an elite unit in the British army, and this Wavell has no intention of going back. ”

Ouyang Yun sneered: "He will ask for it, but the later the time, the higher the price, I hope he won't regret it when the time comes." ”

They just mentioned Wavell on their side, and the news of Wavell arrived.

Xin Bao returned and handed Ouyang Yun a telegram from Chu Tiange, he looked at the telegram handed to Guo Kui, and said with a smile: "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive, this will not come." ”

Whether Wavell wanted it or not, Churchill ordered him in the name of the Cabinet to apologize to the Chinese government for the British troops who had taken the opportunity to escape from the Chinese expatriates during the "Singapore Retreat", and he had no other way but to carry it out.

It is conceivable that for Wavell, who personally planned the "Singapore Retreat" but failed miserably, asking him to apologize to the Chinese government on behalf of the British government is no different from swallowing a fly alive.

And because of the telegram sent back by Willy relaying Ouyang Yun's apology, Wavell was quite disgusted. This is also the main reason why he postponed his implementation.

Of course, as the Japanese army began to gather heavy troops in Mawlamyine, and the Northeast Expeditionary Force began to retreat from Yangon to the border between China and Burma, he did not dare to delay any longer.

The British held a grudge, and even though they had decided to apologize, they still did not want to take Ouyang Yun's line, but wanted to contact the government of the Republic of China directly through the Thai government. However, at this time in the Thai government, Prime Minister Shinawatra was Chu Tiange's person, so he went around in a big circle and still crashed into the hands of the student soldiers.

"An apology is necessary, and he Wavell is qualified to represent the British government, but it must be emphasized that he must personally apologize to me in person and negotiate compensation," Ouyang Yun instructed in a telegram replying to Chu Tiange. At the end, he asked to add: "If he feels dangerous along the way, we can help and send Wolf Fang to pick him up." ”
