Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1056 A Secret Letter

The disparity in quality quickly became evident. When the sun was about to set after the battle, the 98th Infantry Division of the US Army finally could no longer hold on. The huge casualties made them give up the idea of ​​resistance. Even if Colonel Stilwell insisted Also to no avail.Colonel Stilwell has done his best. He has taken the lead in fighting against others, and he has set an example for the supreme commander of the army.However, what he faced was the mighty and invincible Dragon Army soldiers!

At night, there were 98 members of the 9629th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army, from the commander to the cook, and none of them could escape from the position.From the outbreak to the end of this battle, a total of 98 people were killed in the 3361th Infantry Division, and the rest were all captured by the Chinese. From then on, the entire division will be completely wiped out from the US military's establishment.

Colonel Stilwell didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky, he was only slightly injured, which was a great fortune for him, but the colonel became a prisoner of the Chinese, which was a great shame for him!The Colonel wondered what these Chinese were going to do to him, shot him, or humiliated him?Stilwell didn't care at all.Watching the dejected American prisoners of war pass by him one by one, Stilwell let out a long moan from the bottom of his heart. What he was thinking about was not what he would face, but the relatively elite infantry in the US army. The division is so vulnerable in front of the Chinese army.If this is the case with your own troops, what about other troops?Colonel Patton should be ready, but can he really withstand the unstoppable attack of the Long Army?Colonel Stilwell had deep doubts in his heart, what kind of bad ending would the United States face?
"Colonel Stilwell?" A Chinese officer with the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulder walked towards him.

Stilwell adjusted his military uniform, and gave a military salute to the lieutenant general, which is a necessary courtesy for an officer: "Yes, General, Colonel Joseph Stilwell, commander of the 98th Infantry Division of the US Army!"

"Hello. I am Lieutenant General Luo Lie, Commander of the No.13 Division of the Sixth Army of the Dragon Army." Luo Lie also returned a military salute in a correct manner: "I deeply admire the bravery shown by your army on the battlefield. It is worthy of our admiration that you have put in all your hard work and enthusiasm to successfully deploy your armored troops."

What the other party said made Stilwell's heart sink. The Chinese had already seen through the US military's intentions.Everything they did was just playing a funny show with the Americans. General Stilwell now thinks about it, and the most frightening feeling is that once Colonel Patton's armored forces are assembled, the powerful Chinese Air Force will be able to Bombarded with impunity from the sky, Colonel Patton's entire armored force would be over.

Seeing Colonel Stilwell's ashen face, Luo Lie smiled: "I think you guessed it, your armored force will be brutally hit by us. This battle was doomed from the very beginning, but This has nothing to do with you, you just faithfully performed your mission."

Colonel Stilwell smiled miserably and kept shaking his head, repeating two words: "China, China"

"This is a beautiful, powerful, and vibrant country." Luo Lie said with a smile: "If you have the opportunity, you must go and take a look. You will find that China is completely different from what you imagined. Once hundreds of millions of Chinese people unite Together, such power is invincible to any country!"

Colonel Stilwell let out a long sigh of relief, maybe he really should go to that country to take a look, but what he wants to know most now is what the Chinese will do to him.To be shot, hanged, or sentenced to prison?

As if seeing what the colonel was thinking, Luo Lie said with a smile: "I can tell you that you will be released soon, but before that, our emperor wants to see you."

Colonel Stilwell opened his mouth. He couldn't believe what he heard. The Emperor of China wanted to see him.I am just a small major, and I will not be able to find it if I throw it into the vast sea of ​​people. Why should the emperor of China want to see me?
Colonel Stilwell still met the Chinese Emperor Guan Xuqing, who was about 40 years old and in the prime of his life. He had a mysterious smile on his face, and his expression was very kind when he saw Stilwell. Stilwell has arrived In front of him, all the fears and fears suddenly disappeared.

Guan Xuqing stretched out his hand to Stilwell: "Hello, Mr. Joseph Stilwell. When I heard from my subordinates that the commander of the enemy on the opposite side is you, I was very eager to see you. So I Order the soldiers of the Dragon Army not to harm you, and to bring you safely before me, they didn't show any rudeness to you, did they?"

Stilwell shook his head blankly, he and Ben didn't know what happened.This vicious and vicious head of state in the American media now looks so approachable, without any airs of a leader, and his tone seems to be talking to someone close to him.

"I know you are wondering why I treat you like this." Guan Xuqing said with a smile, "But you don't need to know, you just need to understand that no matter what happens between China and the United States, I will not hurt you. "

Of course Stilwell would not understand, even in this world, no one except Guan Xuqing could understand what it was for, but Guan Xuqing himself knew that in another time and space, this Mr. Joseph Stilwell gave China a great deal. s help.

"Please sit down." Guan Xuqing didn't want to explain anything to Stilwell, so let this doubt remain in the hearts of Americans forever. He gestured politely to Stilwell: "Let's sit down and slow down." Let's talk slowly."

Full of misgivings, Stilwell reluctantly sat down, eager to hear what the Chinese emperor had to say to him.

"Mr. Stilwell, you are the first senior American general captured after the Dragon Army landed in the United States. Please don't get me wrong. I definitely don't want to humiliate you." Guan Xuqing poured a cup of tea for Stilwell, Said: "I really want to hear your views on this war, please don't stand on the standpoint of justice or injustice, and don't stand on the standpoint of the Chinese or Americans, I just want to ask your truth Feel, do you think America has a chance of winning this war?"

Colonel Stilwell was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Since you asked me so sincerely, then I have to tell the truth. In terms of the combat effectiveness of the army and the sophistication of weapons, I have to admit that China is ahead of the United States. , and your army has a very high possibility of winning the final victory." Speaking of Colonel Stilwell, his tone changed, and he said: "But please don't ignore the determination of the American people to resist to the end. Pay a heavy price. When the day comes when the battlefield ends, perhaps the Chinese soldiers will die no less than the Americans. The American people are willing to fight to the end to protect their country!"

Guan Xuqing was not displeased at all, he nodded and said: "Yes, we have anticipated such casualties, and we have fully prepared for them, but maybe you have overestimated the unity of the Americans. Don't forget that the United States is a country made up of many ethnic groups and immigrants. I deeply doubt whether they have a sense of identity with this country and whether they have the determination to fight to the end. "

Stilwell was stunned by his words. There was nothing wrong with what the Emperor of China said.The United States is a typical immigrant country. There are only 410 million real so-called American Indians and Alaska natives and their descendants, accounting for only 1.5% of the total population of the country. Most of them are immigrants from other ethnic groups and their descendants from abroad.From the end of the 15th century when the New World was discovered, Spain, the Netherlands, France, Britain and other countries began to immigrate to North America, and since then opened the door to American immigration.By 1773, Britain had established 13 colonies.A total of 6822 million foreign residents immigrated to the United States, including 3882 million from Europe, 942 million from Asia, 1895 million from the Americas, 79 from Africa, and 24 from Oceania.

It is doubtful whether these people will be as loyal to the United States as they are.Moreover, from the perspective of the United States itself, the problem of racial discrimination has not been resolved. The contradictions between white people and people of color are quite sharp, and conflicts will occur from time to time.When the Dragon Army landed in the United States, General Stilwell heard that many people of color in the country were ready to launch large-scale riots to welcome the entry of the Chinese army.Under such circumstances, it is doubtful how much centripetal force the United States still has.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Guan Xuqing waved his hand: "I invited you here this time to entrust you with a matter, to help me bring a letter to your President, Mr. Everything that President Johnson said is in the letter. Well, now you can get out of here with this letter."

Stilwell took the letter in a daze, and sat there in a daze. Could it be that he really let himself go so easily?

Guan Xuqing smiled and said, "Let's go, Mr. Stilwell, you are free now. Don't forget to give the letter to President Johnson."

When Colonel Stilwell was about to leave here, Guan Xuqing suddenly stopped him. Stilwell thought that the head of state of China had changed his mind again, but Guan Xuqing said a very strange sentence: "Colonel Stilwell, I hope you can become the leader of China in the future." friend of the people."

A week later, President Johnson of the United States received from Colonel Stilwell a letter from the Emperor of China, which the colonel took so much trouble to bring.After reading the letter, President Johnson appeared very angry.Afterwards, Colonel Stilwell and his friends described that the president was so enraged by this letter that he was going crazy, and he burned it on the spot, but no one knew what was written in this letter. President Johnson even died. The secret of the letter was not disclosed to anyone, and it became one of the great mysteries in the history of the world. Many historians tried to find the answer, but none of them came to fruition.Someone once asked Guan Xuqing about this matter, Guan Xuqing said with a smile: "I can't tell you about this matter, I must keep this secret, for my sake, and for poor President Johnson!"
