mixed in the war

Song Ziwen can understand why the United States has such a good attitude.Politics are all connected. The Americans want to drag China down, and they don’t want to immediately respond to China’s various demands, and they don’t want to break up with China. They just want to see the results of the battle between MacArthur and the Japanese in the Philippines.

If the war is unfavorable, then reach a real cooperative relationship with China, and give everything that should be given.Moreover, considering the losses suffered by the United States and the damage to the traffic between the east and west of the American continent, it is necessary to let go of the posture and admit that China occupies a dominant position in the Southeast Asian war; and if the war goes well, MacArthur can keep the Philippines. It still needs to reach a cooperative relationship with China, but if China wants to make various demands like before, don’t even think about it. It can only be a younger brother in this war, even if the US army in the Philippines only has tens of thousands of people.

Unfortunately, as Lu Xiaojia said, the United States has not fought a war for decades. Even though many of their generals have participated in the First World War, everyone knows that in the First World War, the Americans It's really taking advantage of it.The "reason" they entered the war was because Germany had already had to engage in "limited submarine warfare" and began attacking ships from non-participating countries.And when they actually participated in the war, the two major military blocs of the Allied Powers and the Entente Powers were already in a state of extreme exhaustion and their strengths were comparable. The compromise of Red Russia eliminated the disadvantages of the Allies, but the reserves of both sides were exhausted. However, this can be determined from the rebuilding of the winning and losing sides from the US loan after the war.Under the premise of positional warfare, it is unlikely that any one side will completely defeat the other. In this case, the United States, as a new force, becomes the little mouse that pulls out carrots. Without it, it cannot win Germany thus defeated the Allies, but it was far from enough, so it can only be said that the United States played an important role in World War I to a certain extent, but it was the so-called number one military in the European Army that really played a decisive role. France, and the two countries that made the United States famous in World War I should also include Germany.It was the personnel consumption of Germany and France that allowed the four divisions of the United States to spread across Europe. That is to say, if the United States had intervened from the beginning of the war, it would have only played the role of a slave country at best, but it finally chose the right time.at this moment.If it supports the Confederates.The Allies are likely to fail.However, this only proves that it cannot be a decisive force, it cannot be a sufficient force, but a necessary force that plays an indispensable role at an appropriate time.

In other words.Americans' war experience is far from enough.

At least in the view of Song Ziwen, a military layman, the United States has no 30 defenders in the Philippines, and there is no way to fight against Terauchi Shouichi's 20 Japanese troops.Moreover, these 30 soldiers must have sufficient logistics, and all of them must be American soldiers... But it is a pity that only a little over 12 of the 3 defenders are Americans, and the other nearly [-] are Filipinos.Song Ziwen is also very familiar with Nanyang affairs, and the combat effectiveness of those Filipino natives is probably comparable to that of the bandits in China, and they are just ordinary bandits with poor equipment.

……

"It can be regarded as the promotion of the front line. Not long ago, the US Congress commended MacArthur for his steadfast protection of his 'protected country' spirit. He was awarded the rank of general."

Yan Huiqing didn't have a good impression of Song Ziwen. This uncle of the country was too arrogant. He always felt that this country could let them do whatever they wanted, and anyone who opposed his ideas would be rejected.If it wasn't for Wang Chonghui and Qin Wei's backing behind him.It is estimated that he has lost the qualification to sit at this negotiating table.If that's the case, it's hard to say whether the "familiarity" shown by this uncle to the Yankees can still maximize the benefits for China, and it may lose a lot.However, despite the dissatisfaction in my heart.Yan Huiqing still answered Song Ziwen's question.We can't let foreigners read their jokes.

"My teacher has never underestimated anyone. He has not made a mistake in his assessment of the war situation so far." Lu Xiaojia did not notice the conversation between Yan Huiqing and Song Ziwen. She was immersed in the "confrontation" with the US Secretary of State. Pleasure, and the "worship" of her teacher... I didn't feel it in China before, but I came to the United States with Yan Huiqing, and after reading a lot of materials, I realized that although they had been relying on them before, they always had some feelings. How tough is the despised Professor Qin.Not to mention the successive victories, even the "government" of the United States has repeatedly suffered under the hands of Professor Qin, who is thousands of miles away.Who else has such a skill in China? [

"There were no mistakes in the past, but it doesn't mean they won't happen in the future." Henry Stimson seemed to enjoy arguing with Lu Xiaojia, the little girl in their eyes, "You know, America is a magical land, and there are always miracles happening here."

"Mr. Minister," Lu Xiaojia smiled, "You mean a miracle? Then can I understand it this way: it is a very remarkable thing to make my teacher make a wrong test?"

"...I didn't say that." Stimson shook his head hastily.According to Lu Xiaojia, if he admits it, he admits that Qin Wei is great.But since he is a very great general, his test naturally has a certain degree of credibility. That is to say, he, the Minister of War, actually has no confidence in whether MacArthur can hold the Philippines.In this way, they have no basis for negotiating with China: they are about to lose the battle, why don't they hurry up and ask the Chinese to help?

"Okay, we won't be obsessed with your words just now, although I am very happy to regard it as subconscious because of your admiration for my teacher..."

"No, it's not subconscious. It's just a conscious slip."

Stimson interrupted Lu Xiaojia again, resolutely not letting this little girl who could be her granddaughter Pianzi put a label of "Qin Wei admirer" on her head.He is the Secretary of War of the United States!People in their 70s, how can they afford to lose such a person?But Lu Xiaojia didn't understand his thoughts, and still kept chasing after him:

"Subconsciousness and consciousness seem to mean the same thing." In other words, you still admire our Professor Qin very much.

"No, no, no, this has two meanings." Stimson firmly denied.They had dealt with Yan Huiqing and Lu Xiaojia twice before.In their view, the old and the young are typical conspirators.Regardless of what I said before, just like this time, if he can't deny Xiaojia's statement that he lost his way, then there will probably be such reports in the newspapers in Washington tomorrow: the Secretary of War worships the Chinese general, worries about the war situation in the Philippines, etc. !And once this kind of thing happens, it will be very detrimental to him and the current "government".But they had no choice.And I don't know what's going on with the old and the young. It seems that they haven't considered who needs the other more. They caught their language mistakes more than once and caused them a lot of trouble.You know, it is unimaginable to put this kind of thing on the previous Chinese ambassadors.But now the old and the young are just doing this, and they seem to be quite happy with it.But the problem is that the old and the young didn't come out on their own, but secretly leaked the news to those reporters, so they couldn't do anything at all, and they couldn't even protest to the Chinese government.Of course, they can also directly put forward their opinions to the Chinese "government" and ask for a change of ambassador without any reason, but doing so will not only hurt the feelings of the Chinese "government", but also make them feel that they have lost their place.

"Whether it is one meaning or two meanings, we must admit that the current situation in your country is quite unfavorable. If you only think about defending the Philippines, then we Chinese people will feel very sad about this..." Yan Huiqingcha Started the conversation, "The Chinese people have always had a very good feeling for the United States of America, especially after the United States suffered the shameful sneak attack by the Japanese, the Chinese people donated money and materials regardless of their own suffering, hoping to express Let me express our condolences to the American people. However, now, your country has repeatedly refused to support China’s war of resistance, support China’s fight against our common enemy...and even refuse China to send troops to support your troops in the Philippines Defenders! What do you take the friendship of the Chinese people for?"

"Miss Lu, when did we donate things to Americans?"

As the chief representative, Song Ziwen sat in the middle of the Chinese representatives.But what Yan Huiqing said made him unable to sit still, and he couldn't help asking Lu Xiaojia who was sitting on the other side of him... When did the Chinese donate things to the Americans?And judging by Yan Huiqing's aura, the money seems to be quite a lot?But now he has seized the financial power of the Chinese "government", how could he not know that there is such a sum of money?

"When the Americans were first attacked, we donated the money in less than two weeks, that is, about ten days." Lu Xiaojia looked at the uncle Guo as if in surprise, "The first sum is $52, the second $38, the third $19...directly remitted to the account of our embassy through the branch of Citibank in Hong Kong, and then passed it on to the White House. The whole of the United States knows."

"Is there such a thing?" Song Ziwen was stunned, "But why don't I know anything about it?"

"That may be because you are usually too busy." Lu Xiaojia shrugged and turned her head away.

"I'm too busy? I'm too busy to not even know such a big thing, right?" Song Ziwen felt a little lost in a trance.He firmly believes that the Chinese have never donated money to the United States on a large scale, not even on a small scale... Everyone should just be happy, glad that the Japanese finally dragged the United States of America into the circle of war.But if no one donated, where did the three donations that add up to more than $100 million come from?That is 100 million US dollars, not 100 million French currency!What's more, even 100 million French currency is probably a huge sum of money for ordinary Americans.The embassy that still passed, could it be my brother-in-law?But how could such a big matter not be told to himself, the president of the quadruple alliance, the person in charge of the country's financial power?Song Ziwen turned his head to look at Yan Huiqing again, intending to get some information from the ambassador to the United States, but in the blink of an eye, he saw Hull again... The American Secretary of State seemed to have a "color" on his face. not good. [
