Glorious Mission 1937

After the Soviet Union's aid was cut off, the Americans and American aid became the only straw for the national "government".At this time, the Americans also panicked. The Japanese are like stones in a latrine. On the one hand, they keep saying that they want to improve relations with the United States, but on the other hand, they continue to cause troubles in Southeast Asia. , only one step away from the Philippines in the United States and Malaysia in the United Kingdom.

And Japan's powerful combined fleet is cruising day and night in various waters of Southeast Asia. Although the Japanese army is not yet ready to launch an offensive, as a big country, Americans still have a high sense of anxiety, especially with China as a living example that can be used for reference. , so Americans will never indulge the Japanese again.

As clearly stipulated in the "Outline of Strategies to the South" decided by the Army and Navy Department of the Japanese Army Base Camp, when the base camp is determined to be completely embargoed by the Western countries headed by the United States, it will be forced to expand to the Dutch East Indies by force. .Japan judged that the U.S. would know very well that the implementation of a comprehensive embargo against Japan would inevitably lead to a causal relationship between Japan's military force going south. Therefore, the day when the U.S. resolutely implemented this measure was the time when it made up its mind to go to war against Japan.

What the Japanese can see, of course, the Americans can also see.Therefore, when all Japanese assets in the United States were completely frozen, Americans thought of China.The national government also needs the assistance of the United States, so the two sides hit it off.

Soon the national government and the United States reached an agreement that the United States would provide the Chinese government with an interest loan of about 5 million U.S. dollars, but the [-] million U.S. dollars must be for the national government to order war supplies such as arms and fuel from the United States. The payment for goods cannot be used for other purposes.The U.S. "government" will support China's war of resistance by transporting weapons, equipment and other materials needed by the National Government to China through the navy to Burma, where the British are stationed.

At the same time, in order to prevent the Japanese army from expanding to the Malay Peninsula and the Philippines, the United States hopes that the National Government can launch an attack on the Japanese invaders on the Chinese battlefield.In order to contain the Japanese army in South China, they cannot go south with all their strength.

Out of gratitude to the United States for its aid to China, the National Government agreed to the request of the United States, but it did not guarantee when this battle would start, nor did it guarantee that this battle would be won.

The person sent by the United States to meet with Yan Changxi was a woman named Christina.Assistant to the U.S. Secretary of State.The 33-year-old Assistant Secretary of State obviously knew the details of Huaxia Company and the relationship between Yan Changxi and Chen Feng, so he made a request to Yan Changxi from the US "government" shortly after the meeting.

The U.S. government hopes to purchase patents for Type 75 anti-aircraft machine guns, Type 79 sniper rifles, T34 tanks, and new fighter jets from Huaxia Arms Company. It is hoped that Huaxia Arms Company can become a supplier of arms to the US "government", and become one of the companies that provide arms assistance to countries such as Britain and France. [

At the same time, the US government also hopes that Chen Feng can lower the price of penicillin.It is even possible to disclose the anti-infective drug technology of penicillin, at least to authorize the US government to produce it for use in wars against Germany, Italy, Japan and other countries.

The U.S. "government" also hopes to carry out all-round cooperation with Chen Feng. The U.S. "government" will escort the development of Huaxia Corporation and Nanyang Territory, and at the same time provide Chen Feng's navy with a large number of advanced warships. The U.S. "government" provided cover fire.

For requests made by the United States.Yan Changxi herself did not dare to agree, so she explained to the United States that she needed to ask Chen Feng for instructions before she could give the United States a clear answer.

After receiving the telegram from Yan Changxi, Chen Feng thought again and again, thinking that it would be more beneficial to cooperate with the Americans. After all, the United States was the main force in fighting fascist Japan and Germany in World War II.Cooperation with the United States is beneficial to Chen Feng no matter during or after the war.

But cooperation belongs to cooperation, some things can be cooperated, and some things cannot.So Chen Feng also put forward his own conditions, cooperation is possible, but the US "government" must agree to several conditions for Chen Feng, first of all, Chen Feng asked the US not to intervene in China's internal affairs at any time and in any way, this is the premise.Secondly, the United States must go out to the British "government" and the French "government" of Charles de Gaulle to assure China that after the war, no matter which side wins, the two countries must announce the abolition of all unequal treaties signed with China.Territories such as Hong Kong and southern Tibet that were seized from China must be returned to China, and the concessions must be abolished.

At the same time, the U.S. "government" must guarantee the principle of fairness, justice and openness when it settles with Japan after the war. It must never negotiate peace with high-level Japanese officials alone. All war criminals who planned and participated in the Sino-Japanese War must be severely punished.Including the Japanese royal family, all Chinese property, cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings looted by Japan, as well as Chinese territories including Taiwan, Penghu Islands, Diaoyu Islands, and Ryukyu Islands are returned to China.

In return, Chen Feng will authorize the patents of Type 75 anti-aircraft machine guns, Type 79 sniper rifles, and T34 tanks. Huaxia Corporation can also become a supplier of arms to the US government, producing weapons and equipment for the US Army, or In a short period of time, it provided a large amount of weapons and equipment to the troubled countries such as Britain and France.

However, the production technology of new fighter jets and penicillin is the foundation of the Chen family's survival, and they will not authorize it to any country. However, Chen Feng can reduce the price of penicillin to 60% of the original price, without The supply is limited, as long as the United States can afford the money, he can provide goods to the US "government".

As for the cover fire proposed by the United States, Chen Feng also agreed. Anyway, as long as the target is the Japanese, it doesn't matter whether he agrees or not. Anyway, he will definitely fight the Japanese in the end, so it's better to sell a favor.Chen Feng even assured the US "government" that he would launch a large-scale attack on the Japanese army in a short period of time to contain the Japanese going south.

For the United States, Chen Feng didn't have a favorable opinion, and even had a slight dislike for it.Although the United States is now adopting a policy of military aid to China, this policy, as a "fulcrum", basically ran through the last four years of the War of Resistance.But Chen Feng knew that the United States' aid to China was not only based on humanitarian considerations, but the fundamental reason was its consideration of its own national interests.

From the September 1931th Incident in 918 to the outbreak of the Pacific War, for ten years, the United States has been acquiescing, instigating, and assisting Japan to invade China!Japan occupied the Northeast, and US President Hoover claimed to understand.Japan occupied Shanghai and other large areas of China, and the United States still acquiesced.Its purpose was to encourage Japan to attack the Soviet Union.

And Japan is indeed coveting the rich Siberia of the Soviet Union, and has formulated a detailed "Northward Advance" plan to attack the Soviet Union.But in 1939, the Japanese army that attacked the Soviet Union was beaten all over the ground by the Soviet mechanized troops led by Zhukov in Nomonhan, Outer Mongolia, and Japan was forced to give up its "northern advance."Turn around and "go south".From then on, Japan turned its attention to Southeast Asia occupied by the United States, Britain, France and the Netherlands, and moved southward.Not long ago, Japan occupied Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam, intending to invade and occupy Dutch Indonesia, and its troops were directed at the Philippines, an American colony.

Until then, the United States began to change its mind.It began to implement an embargo policy against Japan, and finally implemented an oil embargo against Japan not long ago.Oil is the lifeblood of Japan, and only the oil embargo is the trump card for Japan, which eventually led to Japan's desperate attack on Pearl Harbor.In other words, before 1941, the United States had been exporting strategic materials such as aviation gasoline, scrap iron and steel, and precision machine tools to Japan.Even provided the formula of ammonia explosives, which actually assisted Japan in aggression against China.Although the U.S. abolished the U.S.-Japan commercial treaty in 1939 and imposed a "moral embargo" on Japan, Chinese pro-American elites exaggerated its significance. In fact, the U.S. still exported steel and oil to Japan.Even in the first six months before the outbreak of the Pacific War, the United States exported aviation gasoline to Japan more than double that of the same period in 1940.

In 1937, strategic materials shipped to Japan. 544% were exported from the United States to Japan.Mr. Sott, a U.S. Congressman, also said: "Please remember that when Japan killed 100 million people in China, 54 were killed by American accomplices!" When bombing indiscriminately, gasoline provided by the United States was used; when the Japanese army attacked the squadron guarding Nanjing, its tanks and cannons were made of steel provided by the United States; , the explosives inside are a formula provided by the United States...

The interests of the United States, Japan, and the Soviet Union in China and the Far East are intertwined. Therefore, in the process of the United States taking a series of aid measures to China, Japan and the Soviet Union have become central to the relationship between the United States and China, both subjectively and objectively. Unavoidable factors must be considered and valued.From the beginning of the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident" to the outbreak of the Pacific War, the US aid policy to China experienced a process from neutral wait-and-see to limited aid to China. [

Due to the huge interest relationship between Japan and the United States, at the beginning of China's all-out war of resistance, the United States only adopted a "neutral" attitude, and "turned a blind eye" to the aid requests put forward by the Chinese "government".However, with the transformation of Japan's aggressive policy, it shifted from "Northward Advance" to "Southward Advancement", directing the spearhead at the interests of the United States (Britain)—the South Pacific and Southeast Asia.This forced the United States to change its foreign policy—from condoning Japan’s invasion of China to limited aid to China, hoping that this move could curb Japan’s aggression.During this period, the contradictions and conflicts between the United States and Japan played a major role in the process of US aid to China, while the transformation of the Soviet Union's China policy and the contradictions between the United States and the Soviet Union played a secondary role.

While the National Government was grateful for the aid from the United States, Chen Feng dismissed it. The United States did not want to help the Chinese fight against Japan, but wanted the Chinese to help them fight against Japan.Moreover, Chen Feng also knew that the United States and its allies had determined the strategy of "Europe first, then Asia" during World War II, placing the strategic focus on Europe, followed by Asia.

This objectively established the global military strategic layout of the United States and Britain, that is, the United States and Britain will focus most of their energy on Europe, but will inevitably not be able to spare more energy in the Asia-Pacific region, and can only take a defensive position to maintain the strategic defense line in the Pacific region.And China is a vital military base in this strategic defense system, so the military significance can be imagined.If the United States wants to stabilize the situation in the Pacific region, it must strengthen the importance of the Chinese battlefield.Therefore, the United States strengthened its military and economic aid to China, and quickly formed a military alliance with China.This is also the main reason why the China-Myanmar Expeditionary Force did not defend the country on Chinese soil to fight against Japan, but went to Myanmar. They were helping the United States and Britain in the war against Japan! (To be continued. If you like this work.
