mixed in the war

"Cough cough cough-"

"Cough-cough cough!"

"cough--"

The continuous coughing showed how dark Qin Wei's heart was.You know, almost none of the people sitting next to him is not black-hearted, but these people were so shocked by his words that they couldn't handle it, so we can see how dark his words are.And this naturally made Chennault's not-so-clear expression more cloudy.

"As far as I know, the Chinese "government" originally requested US$4000 million in aid from the United States!" "General Flying Tiger" gritted his teeth and looked at his "boss", "General Qin, you raised the price without authorization like this!" The amount of the loan, I wonder if you have discussed it with anyone beforehand?"

"You saw it too," Qin Wei spread his hands, and gave the uncooperative crowd a look. "We definitely didn't discuss it in advance."

"That is to say, your words can now represent the will of the Chinese 'government'?" Chennault said with a gloomy face.He decided to fight back.The 4000 million US dollars turned into 2000 million US dollars in a flash, more than doubled. This kind of taking the Americans as a fool is unacceptable to him. He has already regarded Qin Wei as half an enemy. Even though he had always admired this guy very much before.

"Claire, you're trying to tear me down." Qin Wei smiled wryly, "In front of so many people, you're obviously trying to create discord among us."

"But doesn't your performance reflect this point?" Chennault still didn't let go, as if he was going to die to make Qin Wei and Lao Jiang have conflicts. "Without discussing with anyone, you dare to make such a request to us on behalf of China... If I hadn't worked in China for so long, I almost thought you were the supreme leader of China." [

"Claire..."

"Qin Wei is young, accomplished, and capable. When we guys are old, I am very relieved to have him at the helm of our China." Chiang Kai-shek's strong Fenghua accent suddenly interjected, "Chennault General, I know you are very angry now. But I want to tell you. When it comes to US affairs, General Qin’s words are mine.”

"..."

Lao Jiang's words were beyond everyone's expectations.Chennault was dumbfounded.And the others couldn't help staring at Qin Weimeng twice, and then exchanged glances with each other... Although this is not a formal occasion, why did Lao Jiang ever say anything about the heir in front of others?This is the first time.Although these words may be mainly to deal with Chennault, is there any real meaning in them?As for He Yingqin and Chen Bulei, that's all. They knew that they couldn't be the boss.One has no political ambitions, but Song Meiling, Chen Cheng, and brothers Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu are different.Song Meiling is better, Chen Cheng has always regarded himself as Lao Jiang's successor, and the Chen brothers have always been very ambitious for the KMT's power, although they usually don't seem to have any conflicts with Qin Wei.It's just that there are occasional differences of opinion on individual issues, but once Qin Wei really starts to plan for succession in the future as Lao Jiang said, they have to change their attitudes.

"Chairman, that's not how you joke." Qin Wei was also taken aback by Lao Jiang.But after he realized it, he just smiled and said, "Our affairs in China are too troublesome! I didn't say that. If I sit in your current seat, then within three years, I will be 20 years old ! Do you believe it or not?"

"You are too modest." Lao Jiang smiled. "Although you are still young, with your ability, you will definitely be able to manage our country well in the future. I believe in you."

"I can't." Qin Wei shook his head directly, "Chairman, let's not say that I have a shallow foundation in the country. In China, you need great perseverance, a will as firm as steel, and more patience. I still have a little self-confidence, but that’s all. If you and everyone here have not supported me all the time, I would Maybe I will shrink back when I encounter some troubles. I am not the kind of person who can move forward. I will only do what I can. If I can’t do it, I will hide faster than a rabbit. So, a The position of leader of the country is not for me."

"You have no ambition." Lao Jiang stretched out his hand and nodded him twice, then sighed, as if he was a little disappointed.

"If possible, I'd rather be an aide. Whether it's General Wenbai, Mr. Bray, or Brother Zutao, I think I can be qualified for one or two of the three of them. Of course, the premise is that I still I need a deputy who can do things." Qin Wei said with a smile: "You know, I hate trivial things the most."

"If you hate trivial matters, then don't come to trouble us. The door of the director's office of the Yunnan-Guizhou Appeasement Commission has not been opened a few times so far. If the servant's room is also like this, then it's okay?" Chen Guofu coughed dryly, Glancing at Qin Wei angrily, he smiled at Chennault who was sulking at the side: "General Chennault, what the chairman said just now is actually not wrong. Although General Qin's actual position is only the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, he is still the commander of the Military Commission. The committee member has the most say in matters concerning the United States."

"Well, if even the chairman agrees with the conditions proposed by General Qin just now, I can say something. But I need a reason."

Chennault understood now too.He broke into the circle of this group of Chinese bigwigs by himself, and he definitely couldn't fall into Haoer's way out.But since he was ordered to come, he had to take a charter back.No matter how infuriating the charter really is.

"What other reason do we have?" Qin Wei smiled wryly, "Claire, in your opinion, I am taking the opportunity to blackmail you and extort the wealth of the United States of America, but you have stayed in China for so long, you should know that our China What is it like? I have no reason. If I have to have a reason, there is only one word: poor!"

"Poor?" Chennault was silent for a moment, his expression softened a little.He has stayed in China for several years, of course he knows that China is very poor.But many Chinese officials are unwilling to admit this in front of foreigners like them.Therefore, Qin Wei's willingness to give this reason is enough to show his sincerity: "It's just a word. I still can't accept it, let alone report to the "government"."

"Then let me mention the Battle of Shanxi." He Yingqin suddenly spoke up. "Some of you are in Shanxi. You should know how much effort and price we have put in to regain Shanxi and then look forward to Beijing and Tianjin. Naturally, more supplements are needed for such a loss." [

"That's right." Chen Cheng went on to say: "The Chinese Communists are not lacking in combat effectiveness. But more than half of our troops cannot get sufficient "medicine" supplements. The battle in Shanxi this time is the only one since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. Once. If the United States cannot give us enough logistical support, then this kind of battle will only happen once. For such a huge battlefield in China, a mere [-] million U.S. dollars is not much."

"If the Chinese 'government' is willing to send troops to rescue General MacArthur and the [-] American soldiers trapped in Manila, we are willing to bear all the military expenses for your operation." Chennault hesitated.Instead of directly responding to He Yingqin and Chen Cheng's words, he put forward his own conditions.

"Claire," Qin Wei sighed, "What do you think of your condition?"

"...I'm just in charge of conveying the message." Chennault's face darkened again.But this time, it was not because Qin Wei and others were too harsh, but because of the stinginess of the US "government"...letting the Chinese take huge risks to rescue their generals and soldiers, but only agreed to provide military expenses .Wouldn't that make people earn nothing?What does this mean for the Chinese?Beggar or mercenary?

"Convey? Then you can also convey our conditions to your superiors for me," Qin Wei sneered, "17 million US dollars. [-] B-[-]s! We will rescue MacArthur and those soldiers for you."

"General Qin..." Chennault stood up abruptly, "This is a major event that involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. I hope you will not be arrogant."

"Qin Wei, don't go too far." Song Meiling also reprimanded Qin Wei in a low voice.She felt that Qin Wei was a little too cruel.And it is certainly impossible for the Americans to agree to this condition.

"Life is priceless, Claire." Qin Wei sighed, "In order to rescue your soldiers, you are willing to provide us with military expenses. What about our soldiers, have you thought about it? Your soldiers are human beings, and our soldiers are trash? "

"I have never underestimated the value of any Chinese soldier." Chennault choked and had to sit down again, "but I hope we can negotiate well. Instead of just fighting for breath like this other side."

"Roosevelt and his cabinet members have always been dishonest to us!" Qin Wei smiled ugly again. "We once sincerely hoped to go to the Philippines to help in the war, but both Roosevelt and MacArthur refused. Are they really not worried about the Japanese offensive? No, they are afraid that after we enter the Philippines, we will rob the United States. Your colony!...And now, the Japanese have snatched this colony and besieged your army general in Manila, and may soon capture him alive. We are willing to help and propose a joint army between the two sides to establish a Southeast Asia The Allied Forces Command is here to unify the military operations in Southeast Asia in order to deal with the upcoming full-scale attack of the Japanese in Southeast Asia. But you still have no response, just urging us to help you rescue people..."

"I know this, but...the conditions you put forward are too high. Not only I have no way to explain, the military also has no way to explain to the "government" and the parliament." Chennault's face turned bitter, because he suddenly realized One's own side does not occupy any moral advantage.Fortunately, he actually put on an angry look just now.It should be the Chinese who should be angry.

"You're wrong again, Claire." Qin Wei sighed again, "Your superiors are fully capable of explaining to the 'government' and the parliament! As long as they are willing to make up their minds, let alone 40 million US dollars, it is [-] billion US dollars. Not a problem at all.”

"General Qin..." Chennault looked at Qin Wei pleadingly, but seeing Qin Wei's face, he knew there was no hope, so he turned to Lao Jiang and Song Meiling again: "Chairman, madam... I hope You can proceed from reality and propose a reasonable aid price."

"Qin Wei, don't be so excited all the time, we still have to continue to cooperate with the Americans." Maybe it was Chennault's intercession that helped, or maybe it was because he wanted to ease some difficulties for his elder brother who was in the United States, after all. The real negotiation still has to be in Washington, with Song Ziwen representing the Chinese "government" and the Americans.So, Song Meiling thought about it and began to advise Qin Wei.

"Ma'am, my request is really not much." Qin Wei smiled wryly, "The Philippines has been confirmed to have fallen, even if we can rescue MacArthur and his gang, it will not prevent the Japanese army from invading other countries in Southeast Asia! But the real battlefields of countries such as Britain and the United States But it is in Europe... So, at that time, we are the only ones who can fight Japan in Asia! This burden is too heavy. With our strength, we simply cannot afford it. So let alone 400 million U.S. dollars, I am afraid that it will be [-] billion U.S. dollars in the end I can't beat it. It's totally worth the price the Americans offered."

"Even if it costs more, it can be done step by step."

Chen Lifu suddenly said something, and Chennault nodded hurriedly.

"exactly."

"Step by step? How much material reserves do we have now? How many battles do we have enough weapons for us to fight? Do we still need our soldiers to cover the battlefield with their lives?" Qin Wei smiled wryly, "Furthermore, who can guarantee Can we stop the Japanese? If we don’t make reserves in advance, and then we fail to stop the Japanese and let the Japanese invade India... how can the consequences of 40 million, 400 billion, [-] billion US dollars be made up for? Understand?"

"India?..." Chennault's expression changed immediately. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to m to read.)
