Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2071

Ouyang Yun's worries were soon confirmed.

On March 3, the telegram on Ouyang Yun's participation in the Cairo Conference at the invitation of US President Roosevelt, published in the name of the Special Administrative Region Government of the Xuebing Army, caused an uproar in the rear.The mouthpiece of the Chongqing government, "Central Daily," first published an editorial by Chen Guofu, saying that the Xuebing Army's move was a disastrous move to split the country and sabotage the great situation of the United Anti-Japanese War—"...There is only one legal government in China, and that is The Central Government of Chongqing. As a local government, the Special Administrative Region Government of the Xuebing Army has no independent diplomatic power. Where does the Xuebing Army put the central government? How is it different from the Wang puppet government in Nanjing..."

Gu Lianyun's words became a prophecy - if the "Central Daily" still scruples about destroying Sino-US relations and only condemns Xue Bingjun and Ouyang Yun, "Ta Kung Pao" and other local newspapers are outspoken, directly exposing that the Western powers have fallen to China. The heart is not dead, and they have never regarded China as a real ally. They do not want to see the unity of China. They invite a head of local government to participate in an international conference. Their intentions are sinister, and they call on Xue Bingjun and Ouyang Yun to reject this kind of undiplomatic principle. invitation to maintain the administrative unity of the country.

There were more telegrams from Guangzhou. Ouyang Yun originally decided to leave for Cairo on the 13th, but now he had to temporarily cancel this plan due to the strong pressure of domestic public opinion.

"Send another telegram, declaring that we will do our best to safeguard national interests at the Cairo meeting. Also, disclose the fact that the expeditionary force is composed entirely of the Soldier Army and the Northeast Army, and bring in Young Marshal Zhang; send out another invitation, saying that we lack energy Officials who are good at foreign affairs hope to get guidance from seniors in this area..." Gu Lianyun gave such a response after thinking about it.

At the same time as responding by telegram, Ouyang Yun ordered the media under Xue Bingjun to start a discussion on the local leaders' participation in the international conference, implicitly pointing out the importance of attending the Cairo conference.

If so, it was not until the 15th that Ouyang Yun led a team of more than a hundred people to board three sky fortresses, and then flew to Cairo under the escort of five Baiji dolphins that took off from the Yandi aircraft carrier.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon that day, Ouyang Yun walked down the gangway of the sky fortress and landed on the land of Egypt.At this time, Egypt was an independent country in name, but in fact many affairs were controlled by the British government.The most specific sign is that at this time, the guards in charge of Cairo's security work are actually the guards of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

There is no red carpet, no flowers, no welcome crowd, only two cars and a few Westerners in suits waiting at the airport.Among Ouyang Yun's entourage, Liu Kui and You Xiaolian each led a platoon of Langya and Niangzi Yunwei to take charge of the security work; Gu Lianyun and Lu Hanni served as secretaries and translators; behind them were Chen Shichang and Jiang Huangyong. The staff group and the reporter group headed by Guo Jianxiang.The British who came to greet them were arranged by Lugsen, employees of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company's Cairo office.Liu Kui got off the plane closely behind Ouyang Yun, Gu Lianyun, and Lu Hanni. He stood at the door of the cabin and took a glance, his face darkened, and he shouted, "Don't Americans and British call themselves civilized people? They don't understand diplomatic etiquette at all. "Liu Kui's eyes were very poisonous, and he instantly recognized that those Westerners were not even high-level officials, so he said that.

Ouyang Yun remained calm on the face, but thought in his heart: Is this the way to get off the ground?Then he couldn't help but ignite his fighting spirit. "You earn your own face, not out of inner respect, so don't worry about it," he said to Liu Kui.

The identity of the Westerners was quickly confirmed.China has not established diplomatic relations with Egypt, so there is no diplomatic venue such as an embassy in Egypt.But so many people always need a place to live. Roosevelt once proposed that the US embassy in Egypt arrange it, but after Lu Hanni heard about it, Ouyang Yun refused and volunteered to take over the task.The person in charge of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company's Cairo office is named Brown, who is under 40 years old and very capable.He didn't take this reception seriously at first, only because of Lugsen's repeated explanations that he treated it with caution.However, when he saw Liu Kui and the fangs behind him, he changed his indifferent demeanor and became enthusiastic all of a sudden.

Brown rented two large yards next to the Anglo-Iranian Petroleum Company's office in Cairo for the student army delegation. Ouyang Yun, Gu Lianyun and others got into the car, and the others couldn't do it. The group headed for the airport gate Go, and finally meet the American diplomats waiting here.

Ouyang Yun didn't know that when his plane was still two hours away from Cairo Airport, Roosevelt and Churchill had a quarrel over whether to send someone to pick him up.The Japanese army landed in Australia, which increased the pressure on the U.S. government—the importance of Australia is self-evident. Once Australia is captured by the Japanese army, many islands in the South Pacific of the United States will no longer be safe. Once the Japanese army takes these If all the islands are captured, they will be able to form a line without worrying about logistical support, and they will be able to directly send troops to attack the mainland of the United States-this is something the Americans absolutely don't want to see.Australia was originally a British colony, but Churchill acquiesced to American control of Australia as the British demanded more and more aid from the United States.The direction of Japanese attack shifted to Australia, and Burma and India became safer instead.Just as Germany stepped up its attack on the British mainland, and the role of the English Channel barrier became less and less, some people in the British government took precautions and suggested that the government be moved to the Middle East or India in order to persist in resistance.When the Chinese Expeditionary Force entered the Indochina Peninsula, Churchill worried that it would be easier to ask the gods than to give them away.But at that time, the Japanese army was too aggressive and the British army suffered a crushing defeat. He felt that it would be a good choice to let the Chinese stand in front as cannon fodder, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.At this time and at that time, there has been no major war in the Indochina Peninsula for several months. On the contrary, the Chinese control over Burma has become stronger and stronger. Churchill considered that China was once the traditional suzerain of Burma, so he sat down again. Can't stop.Both the United States and the United Kingdom have mainstream media reporters based in Chongqing, so anything that happens in China cannot escape the eyes of the British and American decision-makers.When the voice of Chinese democrats asking Ouyang Yun to step down reached Churchill's ears, he felt that this was an excellent opportunity to solve the Burmese issue, so he called Roosevelt, thinking that an overly powerful China was not in line with the interests of Britain and the United States in the Far East. Use the Cairo Conference to solve this hidden danger.The specific measures are to establish the Allied Pacific Naval Headquarters in Australia, with Admiral Kim, the commander of the US Pacific Fleet, as the commander in chief to command the Allied maritime forces to fight against Japan; to establish the Allied Southeast Asian Army Headquarters in Myanmar, Stilwell, who was familiar with Chinese affairs, served as the commander-in-chief, and unified the command of the Allied land forces to launch a counterattack against Japan to ease the pressure on Australia.Churchill knew that the United Kingdom was now a skinny camel with nothing left but a shelf, and it could no longer deter the cadet army, so he deliberately pulled the United States.And the conditions he offered really made Roosevelt very tempted.Therefore, when Ouyang Yun arrived late, Churchill suggested that it should be dealt with coldly, so as to let the Chinese know their position.Based on his knowledge of Xue Bingjun and Ouyang Yun, Roosevelt was worried that it would be counterproductive, so after a heated debate, Roosevelt finally gave in and did not ask White House Chief McIntyre to pick up the plane, but only asked the US ambassador to Egypt to send two diplomat.
