mixed in the war

"The weather is fine today."

Looking at the still gloomy sky outside the window, He Zhonghan looked at He Yingqin in surprise and some astonishment...In his old memory, "Grandma He" shouldn't be so direct and naked to expose someone's heart Those who really think, especially if that person is a foreigner, are even more incapable.You know, even when the National Government was forced to negotiate with Japan during the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, He Yingqin, as a Chinese representative, was bullied by the Japanese, and it was even said that he was put on the neck by that bastard Takashi Sakai... But it was all like that Even now, he didn't say anything harsh to the Japanese, which shows how powerful his "forbearance" skill is.But now this old guy actually said such serious things to Stilwell, to this person who represented the United States and the "parents" of the squadron in the future... Isn't he sick?

"Mr. Minister—"

He Zhonghan was surprised, let alone Stilwell.In the original history, when Chennault commented on Stilwell's performance in China, he regarded himself as a "foreign master"... Although the current situation is not the same as the original history, Stilwell's mentality has not changed How many.On the contrary, because the Chinese government had previously stated that it refused to accept him as the chief of staff of the Pan-Western Pacific Theater, his perception of China was even worse, and he was more eager to make some achievements to prove his ability.Therefore, He Yingqin's words that directly pointed to his true inner thoughts made him blush immediately:

"Mr. Minister, you have to be responsible for what you say! For my military exploits? I am for the anti-fascist cause of the entire Asia, and to defeat the Japanese as soon as possible..."

"If you want to defeat the Japanese as soon as possible, you should arm the Chinese troops as soon as possible! Instead of rushing them to face the aggressive Japanese with insufficient equipment." He Yingqin snorted coldly: "The Japanese MacArthur has been defeated, and now Percival has no power to fight back... As the Minister of Defense of the Republic of China, I don't think our soldiers are more effective than those of the United Kingdom and the United States!"

"But you have beaten the Japanese many times!" cried Stilwell.

"That is a victory won with the lives of our soldiers!" He Yingqin said with a dark face, "You still ask us to do this. Do you think that the lives of our Chinese people are worthless and can be sacrificed for your military exploits at will? "

"You—you are simply unreasonable!" Stilwell was furious.

"I'm unreasonable?" He Yingqin sneered again, "As a representative of the U.S. government, you don't even care about the agreement between China, the U.S., and the U.K., and you blatantly violated the consensus reached by the governments of the three countries. I can't do that. Reasonable, or are you unreasonable?

"you--"

Stilwell blushed again.He Yingqin's words once again hit his nails.Yes, he can paint his plan with all kinds of grandeur, but no matter what.He can't change the fact that the Chinese government promised to go to war two months after the signing of the agreement with the aid of Britain and the United States, but now neither of these two conditions has been met, so his plan violates the agreement between the three countries.The Chinese have good reasons for refusing to send troops.And his persistence in this way is actually not much different from messing around.

"Teacher, I think. General Stilwell is only anxious about the war in Malaya, so he is more urgent. How about we discuss it again?" He Zhonghan suppressed his curiosity about He Yingqin's sudden tough attitude , said cautiously, trying to ease the atmosphere in the room.

"Anyway, it's impossible for me to order troops." He Yingqin snorted coldly. "As the Minister of Defense, it is impossible for me to let my soldiers rush to battle with insufficient equipment. That is not only irresponsible for their lives, but also irresponsible for the entire situation in Southeast Asia. Even if the chairman personally charged me Order, and I will never agree."

"Master! Are you still acting at this time? If Lao Jiang ordered it. Do you dare to say this? I am afraid that the army will be ready for war." He Zhonghan curled his lips secretly, but as the only one in the office " Lubricant”, coupled with the consistent understanding of He Yingqin, he naturally knows what to do:

"General Stilwell, don't blame my teacher for not cooperating. We do have difficulties. China has gone through years of wars, and the whole country is actually exhausted. Not to mention equipment, many of our troops are seriously short of ammunition..."

"Of course I know that China has experienced wars for several years, but you can gather supplies, equipment, and ammunition..."

Although he was still full of anger after being hardened by He Yingqin, Stilwell didn't dare to be so tough again, but he was clearly prepared for the difficulties He Zhonghan raised.But he didn't know that just because of his words, not only He Yingqin's face suddenly turned livid, but even He Zhonghan almost scolded:

"General, are you saying...for the sake of the Southeast Asian battlefield, we can give up the Chinese battlefield?"

"No, I, I didn't mean that." Stilwell waved his hands hastily, "I just said, you can gather some of them... on the premise of not affecting the situation on the battlefield in China."

"A very good proposal, really good! It's a pity, we are not as rich and powerful as you, the United States of America!" He Yingqin smiled angrily, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, and started to slam people: "I'm tired, I'll wait a while There is an important military meeting to be held...Junshan, help me see off General Stilwell!"

"Mr. Minister..."

Stilwell was in a hurry. He worked so hard to draw up the battle plan, and even exchanged opinions with the Pentagon for this.Therefore, if it cannot be implemented, not only will his previous efforts be in vain, but he will even be ashamed by his colleagues in the Pentagon... This is unacceptable to him.But he really didn't expect that his plan would encounter such great resistance.In his view, even if the Chinese side expressed doubts or some resistance to his plan, as long as he persisted and exerted a certain amount of pressure, the other party would give in.After all, the Chinese still need "charity" from the United States!But I didn't expect that Chiang Kai-shek didn't want to see him, and now even He Yingqin didn't want to talk to him.But he didn't think it was his fault... Before coming here, Roosevelt and Marshall had warned him that the Chinese would definitely play tricks in this cooperation.Because in the previous contacts of the Three Kingdoms, the Chinese have shown considerable ambitions, and they will definitely not cooperate with them sincerely.Therefore, he decided that it was not that the Chinese did not see the urgency of supporting the British and the feasibility of his plan, but that the Chinese did not want to help the British at all... He decided to use his trump card!However, before he could speak, He Zhonghan stood in front of him:

"General, I will send you out!"

……

"Teacher, why did you offend that Yankee?"

If people don't talk to you, you can't hang on to it, it will look too uneducated!Moreover, Stilwell also looked down on He Yingqin... As the chief of staff of the Pan-Western Pacific Theater, in his opinion, Chiang Kai-shek was the only one in China who could talk to him on an equal footing. Regarding the relationship of being supported, as well as the gap in military strength and military level between China and the United States, although Lao Jiang is the commander-in-chief of the Pan-Western Pacific Theater in name, he should listen to him in specific matters.Therefore, after He Yingqin issued the order to expel the guests, although he was unwilling, he still left angrily.He decided to go to Lao Jiang again to put pressure... and He Zhonghan also saw some kind of determination from his behavior when he left, so after sending him away from the Ministry of Defense, he came back to find He Yingqin, and asked He Yingqin expressed his concerns:

"We still need American aid. And I heard that this Stilwell happens to be in charge of distributing American aid. If you offend him like this, in case he..."

"What are you afraid of?" He Yingqin smiled disdainfully, "It's just a person with high vision and low power. If you can barely talk about war on paper, you are self-righteous. Although we need US aid now, to tell you the truth, Junshan... We still have the strength to support us. We are not afraid of them What happened."

"We still have support?" He Zhonghan was taken aback, "This, this is impossible? Although I am no longer in the army, I also know..."

"How much do you know?" He Yingqin looked at the "down and out" student sympathetically, "To tell you the truth, with our reserves, it will not be a problem to beat up the Japanese again. So, even if Britain and the United States use aid as an issue Son, we are not afraid. As long as we survive the initial period, they will be the ones who suffer. At that time, they will have to be ashamed to beg us."

"So that's how it is." He Zhonghan let out a breath, and said with a smile: "No wonder you dare to throw face at this Stilwell, teacher! I thought you were stimulated by something."

"Of course I was stimulated. These foreign devils always look down on us Chinese, even if they send a small soldier over, they dare to think that they are uncles, thinking that they are the savior..." He Yingqin snorted coldly: "They don't even think about it, if it wasn't for them These big powers are playing tricks behind them, and China may have been unified long ago. Based on our foundation, as long as we are unified, as long as we can get an opportunity for peaceful development, how many years will it take to catch up with them? A mere Japan can achieve two or three in two or three decades If we are a top power, can our China be worse?"

"... Teacher is very imposing!" He Zhonghan looked at He Yingqin in astonishment, and it took him a long time to hold back such a sentence.

"I didn't pay attention before, but once I heard someone say it, I understood." He Yingqin smiled wryly again, and said.

"But I think it's not good to get too stiff with the Americans after all." He Zhonghan said again.

"Of course I know. So..." He Yingqin looked at the door and sneered, "Jun Shan, are you interested in going on a business trip?"

"Business trip?" He Zhonghan was startled, then overjoyed, "But according to the teacher's order!"

"Send Stilwell to me in Guilin and let him go to Qin Wei!" He Yingqin said with a sinister smile. (to be continued..)
