Age of Rebirth

It took more than four hours to go there. Taurman and Sikodias were left there, waiting anxiously and burning inside. The originally fragrant Chinese tea has been drunk like white water. , the sun outside is getting stronger, and it seems that it is noon.

Taurman and Sikodias also lost their diplomat demeanor. They paced back and forth in the room, stretching their necks to look out from time to time. Go directly to Singapore to meet Tang Qiuli. There is no need to go through the procedure of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government. The matter is urgent and everything is kept simple. Besides, President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill may not take the National Government seriously.

But these two people have been in China for many years and are well versed in Chinese officialdom. If you look down on people, you can put them in your stomach. If you put them on the surface, they will be inextricable. From Chongqing to Singapore, The distance is not too short, and if the department makes a little trouble behind the scenes, it will delay the trip. Moreover, in case the awkward Vice Chairman Tang says, "Please follow the normal international procedures!" The two of them have to run back .

President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill can ignore the national government, but Taurman and Sikodias can't do it. They have to hang out in China, and the people they deal with are also officials of the national government, so they can only suppress their hearts Anxiety, comfort myself, the efficiency of various departments of the national government is so slow.

Just when the two of them waited so much that they were about to lose their patience and walk away, the official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came back. Seeing the two ambassadors with uneasy faces, he quickly apologized, "Ambassadors, I'm sorry, our Minister Because I am temporarily attending an important meeting of the government. I just came back, but please rest assured, we have notified Vice Chairman Tang in a special letter about going to Singapore to meet Vice Chairman Tang, and you can leave as soon as possible. Already!" [

Taurman and Sikodias finally breathed a sigh of relief when they stepped out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building.Realizing that it was already noon, the two looked at each other with wry smiles, so, the whole morning was wasted here!Chinese efficiency.It's not generally slow.

The two ambassadors who complained a lot, they knew where.The practice of own routine.However, within the high-level government, there was a great shock.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, the Minister of Foreign Affairs did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly called the Chairman Huangshan's mansion. After the attendant relayed the words of the Foreign Minister to Chairman Jiang, Chairman Jiang's expression changed.It seemed cloudy and uncertain.

In the past few years after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, except for the initial period, Chairman Jiang devoted himself to the future and destiny of the country and the nation.In the remaining few years, life is relatively comfortable. The troops of the Central Army are all recuperating in Sichuan and Chongqing in the southwest. I am a well-deserved No.1 in the Republic of China. In the world, it represents the image of the Republic of China. .

In addition, Tang Qiuli, who was ambitious and rebellious, did not make trouble with himself in front of him, and devoted himself to running his overseas power, and the Japanese were all driven out of the country. As for the CCP, it was just a scabies disease, It's not enough to cause trouble, so there's nothing big to worry about.

The so-called quietness and thinking, Chairman Jiang is not a person who is willing to be lonely. When he cast his eyes outside his own small world, he was shocked to find that Tang Qiuli's influence in the world has far exceeded that of Tang Qiuli. It can be said that everyone in the world knows Tang Qiuli, but they don't know who I will be!

This feeling made Generalissimo Jiang, who has always been monopolistic, very unhappy, but there is no way, he can't also pull the Central Army out, like Tang Qiuli, let's expand its influence overseas, not to mention whether the Central Army can have that Ability, choosing that opponent is an extremely headache.

The cross-sea expedition to help the Americans fight the Japanese is reasonable in terms of morality and the treaty of the Allied Powers, but what Chairman Jiang is most worried about is that he will spend all his hard-earned family fortune. After the three Songhu battles, the Central Army The elite troops have been completely lost, and they have been working in Sichuan for many years. They finally regained their vitality with kindness, and Chairman Jiang is reluctant to take it out to fight the Japanese!

However, the orthodox national government, which has not shown up on the international stage for a long time, may be marginalized. Only Tang Qiuli has the ability and strength to replace him. Chairman Jiang is most worried about Tang Qiuli getting With the support and commitment of the European and American powers, the two sides reached an agreement and seized their own thrones.

This is also the usual method used by European and American powers. I think that when I ascended the throne of No.1 in the Republic of China, I did not get the strong support of European and American powers. The pinnacle of rights!

I was marginalized and lost my role. It is nothing new for the European and American powers to find new agents. In the eyes of those foreigners, there are only interests. Of course, with Tang Qiuli's current strength, he already has the highest right to aspire to the Republic of China The ability of the throne, so in the eyes of European and American powers, Tang Qiuli is undoubtedly the best candidate. This problem has become a thorn in Chairman Jiang's heart, disturbing his sleep and eating.

Coincidentally, the fact that the special envoys of the United States and Britain were going to Singapore to meet Tang Qiuli touched the most sensitive nerve in Chairman Jiang's heart. With my permission, the Americans and the British cannot be allowed to meet Tang Qiuli!"

After finishing speaking, he entered the office without looking back, and several other attendants, according to Chairman Jiang's instructions, began to call the senior officials and inform them to go to the chairman's mansion immediately to attend an emergency meeting. The officials from all walks of life on the phone did not dare to neglect, put down what they were doing, and rushed to Chairman Jiang's residence as quickly as possible.

The people arrived soon. Of course, those who can participate in this level of meeting are definitely the confidantes of Chairman Jiang. Chairman Jiang was not polite, and he said the words conveyed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Then he asked, "Analyze, why are Americans and British so eager to see Tang Qiuli?"

This is a question that is difficult to answer with certainty. There are various possibilities. However, it is all a test, and there is no plausible reason. According to the evidence, none of them have the kind of worry in Chairman Jiang's heart. It's not that they don't have enough experience and intelligence, but that they haven't reached that position, so naturally they won't have higher-level worries.

Even Chairman Jiang's chief think tank, Yang Yongtai, and his second think tank, Zhang Qun, couldn't come up with a tenable statement. My head was blurred, and I saw Chairman Jiang's face getting more and more gloomy. It was a sign before the storm was coming. If Chairman Jiang Longyan was furious, all the senior officials present would not be able to retreat unscathed.

It would be trivial to be scolded that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. The unbearable silence in the conference room continued. Especially at this time, the officials dared not speak easily. Things, shit, no, if you are criticized in less than three sentences, you are asking for bad luck, and the embarrassment is trivial. If you become the old man's punching bag to prevent disasters for everyone, then the gain will not be worth the loss!

Generalissimo Jiang's complexion was already quite ugly, the blood vessels on his temples began to "bouncing" and he felt annoyed and sad in his heart. Could it be that none of my subordinates could tell me what I was most worried about?

Just when he was about to lose his temper, he suddenly saw Dai Li, the director of the Military Control Bureau, hesitant to speak. Chairman Jiang knew quite well about his favorite student, and he was a person who didn't like to show off. On such an occasion, It is rare for him to have such a move! [

Generalissimo Jiang exhaled slowly, temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart, and said together kindly: "Yu Nong, I think you have something to say, why don't you say it for everyone's reference!"

As soon as Generalissimo Jiang said this, all the officials looked at Dai Li in surprise. This fearsome spy chief never spoke on such occasions. Even if he had to speak, he only said a few words. What happened today? , to be in the limelight, the sun came out from the west?

It is still hidden, and at the critical moment, come to "the dog lifts the door curtain and shows a little hand!" Let's see what he said, Dai Yunong can't let the limelight be taken away by himself, so the big officials looked at Dai Li , is extremely complex.

To be honest, on such an occasion, Dai Li is absolutely unwilling to show the limelight. There is no need, and he is not just talking about it. If it is feasible, it will only cause the envy of other officials and steal their limelight. If not, it will only increase Humiliation, these colleagues of mine are veterans who add icing on the cake, and proficient when they fall into trouble. Unexpectedly, Generalissimo Jiang Hui Ruju called him to speak by name, so he can't get rid of it!

Dai Li stood up, turned a blind eye to the complicated gazes around him, and said calmly: "Principal, the students think that the British and American ambassadors went to Singapore to meet Vice Chairman Tang for one thing. On Luzon Island, more than 20 The question of getting rid of the US Philippine Army and withdrawing to Australia!"

As soon as Dai Li's words fell, the conference room was filled with murmurs of whispering. Of course, most of the officials were skeptical. How can you be so sure, Dai Li, that there was no other reason for the British and American ambassadors to see Tang Qiuli? Furthermore, the Americans and the Japanese have been fighting for several months on the Southwest Pacific battlefield. Are there still fewer big and small battles?

At the beginning, when the Japanese army wiped out the Americans like chopping melons and cutting vegetables on several islands, the Americans did not turn to Tang Qiuli for help. Why do you think that the Americans will help the 10,000+ US citizens on Luzon Island? Philippine Army, don't be ashamed to beg Tang Qiuli?

As for withdrawing to Australia, it is even more nonsense. The Japanese beat up Australia with fireworks, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo. Could it be that the Americans would not be able to die?
