Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1918
The U.S. government placed high hopes on Madam Chiang's visit to the U.S. by upgrading the private visit to an official visit and sending Secretary of State Hull to handle the matter personally.The war that took place in the far east is still too far away for ordinary American citizens, and the destruction of the Pacific Fleet made them realize the strength of Japan.So after the relevant resentment was diluted by time, isolationism rose again and became the main force of public opinion.Without the support of the people, members of the Senate and House of Representatives wavered between war and no war. Affected by this, the White House was unable to issue a mobilization order for the whole people. This not only affected the reconstruction of the Pacific Fleet, but also made the United States The layout of the Far East is quite passive. "The people don't know how cruel and cold-blooded our enemy is. They think that they can get rid of the harassment of war by staying away from the battlefield, but we can't think so. Japan has captured Dutch Indochina, British Malaysia and Singapore. Next, they will Capture Papua New Guinea, and then use troops against Australia. If Australia also falls, then the whole of Asia will become a Japanese colony... We must not allow this to happen. The American people should not be so cold-blooded and selfish, when we are enjoying democracy and When we are free, we should see that in Europe and Asia, I don’t know how many civilians are still living in the shadow of war... Some people worry that the country will be dragged into the quagmire of war, but I think this is exactly what we need to change Opportunity to isolate the image of the past. As a responsible big country, we have a responsibility to maintain world peace. And I think, for our companies, it is good for them to go out to the world...China has been fighting Japan for four years, Japan How terrible this enemy is, and what kind of harm they will cause to world peace, I think the Chinese in the flames of war should be able to give us a real answer. Let Mrs. Jiang help our people understand the ferocity of the common enemy of China and the United States, let From now on, everyone will be united in the same hatred, and this is exactly what we need..." Just as Mrs. Chiang was about to arrive in the United States, President Roosevelt gave a successful speech in Congress.It was this speech that made Congress decide to support the government's arrangements for Madam Chiang's visit to the United States.

Regarding the matter of welcoming Mrs. Jiang, the original plan of the United States was for Mrs. Eleanor and Gu Lianyun to come forward together, so as to show respect without falling behind diplomatic pretexts.However, with the escalation of this visit, Mrs. Eleanor was not enough to show that the US government attached importance to Mrs. Jiang and the Chongqing government behind her. Therefore, after consultations, the White House decided to ask Secretary of State Hull to come forward in person. Welcoming the Head of State's specifications, a grand welcoming ceremony was held for Mrs. Chiang at Washington National Airport.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, at Washington National Airport, three Sky Fortresses descended slowly under the escort of six P40s of HNA. Fifteen minutes later, when Mrs. Jiang walked to the cabin door, the music sounded, Hull, Bai Liusu, and Hu Shi stepped on the red carpet side by side, and walked towards the gangway with many men.

On both sides of the red carpet, U.S. secret service personnel have built a human wall. Behind them, hundreds of Chinese and American people happily waved the national flags of China and the United States. From time to time, some people shouted excitedly.

A weak country has no diplomacy. Is China currently a weak country or a strong country?Song Ziwen stood behind Mrs. Jiang, looking at the welcoming crowd on both sides of the red carpet, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.In Guangzhou, he received Hu Shi’s telegram forwarded from Chongqing, and learned of Hu Shi’s difficult situation in Washington. What he was most worried about was that the Xuebing Army would play tricks on organizing Chinese and overseas Chinese to welcome the third sister, and then there would be embarrassing scenes.Now it seems that the students and soldiers still understand the general situation, and they know that they should rule out disagreements in political opinions on this matter.

Mrs. Jiang was already 43 years old at this time. For a woman at this age, she has passed the golden age.When Gu Lianyun was still working as a double agent, she once had the opportunity to meet Madam Jiang from afar.At that time, Mrs. Jiang was a role model for her to fight for, and she used to be an unattainable and superior existence in her eyes.The reaction of the cadets and soldiers to Mrs. Jiang's visit to the United States was actually quite contradictory.On the one hand, they are both descendants of Yan and Huang, and the other party wears the hat of "central government". Of course, they don't want to see the US government belittle Mrs. Jiang.On the other hand, there is actually a competitive relationship between the Xuebing Army and the Chongqing government, and it can be said that the Xuebing Army has invested a huge cost in its relationship with the United States, so they do not want the Chongqing government and the US government to get too close ...

Gu Lianyun had spent a lot of time thinking about the position of herself and the US side in this matter, and prepared several plans for it.But now, after seeing Madam Jiang's appearance with her own eyes, she decided to put everything aside for the time being and deal with this matter purely from the standpoint of a Chinese.

Mrs. Jiang had done a lot of homework for this visit, so she was no stranger to Gu Lianyun.From a woman's point of view, she admired Gu Lianyun a lot.As a woman, she can better understand Gu Lianyun's difficulty - what kind of motivation makes a woman willing to travel across the ocean and work hard for a man in a foreign country?She once thought about this problem, and then compared it with herself, and found that Gu Lianyun's example is unique, and there is almost no possibility of duplication.

The achievements of Gu Lianyun and the American army behind it in the United States are no secrets among the senior officials of the Chongqing government.What the military and political leaders headed by Chiang Kai-shek valued was that the Xuebing Army had controlled the Chinese-American donation channel to the country, so they were very indignant and helpless.From the perspective of a woman, Mrs. Jiang saw Gu Lianyun's hardships and hardships in the United States. Although it was inevitable to criticize Gu Lianyun from the standpoint of Lao Jiang, she appreciated it more.

Mrs. Jiang stood at the cabin door with a smile on her face and waved to the welcome crowd, and then walked along the gangway to the red carpet with the support of a personal maid. She looked elegant and worthy of her status as the mother of the country.Seeing it in the crowd, Guo Muyi had to admit that the first lady of the Xuebing Army was not as good as the first lady of the Central Army in terms of style alone.I just hope that Mrs. Jiang will not be too busy taking the lead, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be a situation where both sides will suffer.

Mrs. Jiang walked down slowly, her eyes first glanced at Hull, then she and Hu Shi smiled and looked at each other, and finally fell on Gu Lianyun's face.

"A strange woman!" She thought in her heart, her gaze became very soft.

Gu Lianyun smiled back, but thought in her heart: As expected of the first lady, she has a strong aura. As a Chinese, I should also be proud.It's a pity, if the Central Army performed better, if there weren't so many moths in the Chongqing government...

Just as she was thinking, Madam Jiang had already stepped onto the red carpet.Hu Shi hurried forward and said to her: "Madam, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Hull, Secretary of State of the United States, and this is Ms. Gu Lianyun, the representative of the Academy Army in the United States."

"Secretary of State Hull, it's a pleasure to meet you," Madam Jiang said to Hull.

The latter bowed and said sincerely: "Madam, you are welcome to visit the United States. You will find that this will be a pleasant journey."

"I think so too."
