Chapter 498 Weak countries have no diplomacy
In addition to the Outer Mongolia issue, the cunning Russians also required Dalian's business port to be internationalized, the Soviet Union's superior rights and interests in the port must be guaranteed, and the Soviet Union's lease of Lushun Port as a naval base must be restored.
Not only that, they also proposed that the Middle East Railway and South Manchuria Railway, which serve as the way to Dalian, should establish a company jointly run by Soviet-China. The superior rights and interests of the Soviet Union must be guaranteed and China must maintain all sovereignty in Manchuria.
.
Simply put, the Northeast railway was controlled by the Soviet Union, and China needed to ensure all the privileges of the Soviet Union in the Northeast before the Soviet Union recognized China's sovereignty here.
All of this was signed without China's knowledge, because Jiang Jiang was not qualified to attend the meeting at all.
In theory, China did not attend this meeting. No matter what the meeting discussed or what agreement reached, as long as Chiang Kai-shek did not sign it later, he would refuse to admit it. These requests from the Soviet Union were made to the United States and Britain, and they promised that they were
Yes, it has nothing to do with me.
This is the case in theory, but it is not actually the case.
Although China was tied for the four major countries with the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain at that time, its national strength was the weakest. China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression needed support from these countries, especially the United States, which had great support for our country during the War of Resistance. If the United States had not been
With support, China's War of Resistance Against Japan may be even more difficult.
Therefore, this has also become the capital for negotiation between the United States and our country. When the Soviet Union made these requests, it did not say that our country would agree, but that the Americans would agree.
In order to make the Soviet Union send troops, the Americans had to agree to their various interests in the Far East, and in turn forced Chiang Kai-shek to sign and recognize this series of treaties that harmed the interests of China's national interests.
This is the real sense of losing power and humiliation of the country and the pillar of shame for the Chinese people!
But what can we do? A weak country has no diplomacy. Sovereignty and confidence are all based on strength. How can there be eternal friendship between countries? If you don’t strive for it, who will help you if you are beaten and scolded?
Liao Mingyu came to his senses and leaned his stiff body slightly against the sofa. He subconsciously took out a cigarette, lit it and took a deep breath after igniting it.
"I don't know what the general said to me...what does it mean?"
After squirting the ashes, Liao Mingyu tried hard to calm his emotions, but the right hand hidden in his pocket had clenched his fists because he knew... the next conversation would probably have a profound impact on the trend of the Chinese war.
"Don't you have any ideas?"
Stilwell pushed the glasses frame and swept his sharp eyes over.
"What can I think? There is an old Chinese saying that... I am sorry for domestic affairs, but what can small characters like us do?" Liao Mingyu smiled indifferently, as if he said something else.
It's none of your business.
Stilwell looked at him seriously and found that the other person had a little frivolity and indifferent face. It was hard to see any other emotions. Perhaps... he is of the same virtue as those warlords who are respectful in China.
Stilwell, who was self-inflicted, was not slowing down and continued: "Originally, the President wanted to use the land and army of China to relieve the pressure on the Pacific battlefield and realize the plan to invade Japan as soon as possible."
"It's a pity... your army is like paper, and the top leaders of your country don't seem to care about the direction of this war at all. Instead, they fight for their own little interests."
Liao Mingyu nodded without comment. It was not for people to look down on him. The situation was the same. Although the frontline soldiers were fighting hard, the top elites in China who were in corpse and were still unmoved and fully demonstrated corruption and incompetence.
"So, what do you plan to do about the next situation? After all, the Japanese army was hit hard, and this is an excellent opportunity to attack." Stilwell asked meaningfully, staring at the other party without blinking.
"Haha, General, you know, after fighting for several months, my troops suffered a huge loss and needed some time to recuperate. Just say that the logistics needs to be supplemented..." Liao Mingyu smiled and talked without a positive answer.
question.
Bad boy, you know you have to negotiate the conditions again... Stilwell was very worried, and at the same time decided not to hide, and to give the purpose of this trip one by one:
"Okay...but you have been advancing all the way on the battlefield in Southeast Asia, which has attracted the attention of the President. Now he is ready to give up his original plan and turn to open up the situation from Southeast Asia..."
It turned out that it was because of the failure of the Henan, Hunan and Guangxi battle in China. After deliberation with a group of senior US military leaders, Roosevelt believed that China did not have the strength to independently confront and counterattack Japan, even if it was given more military aid. It was originally used as China.
Plans for the springboard will also be put on hold.
On the other hand, the situation in Southeast Asia is very good. Not only has it recovered a large number of lost land, it has also wiped out tens of thousands of Japanese troops. Now the Southern Army, which has suffered heavy losses, is so anxious that it scratches its head and keeps asking for support from the Japanese base camp.
Judging from the current intelligence, the Japanese and Kwantung Army in South China are all in a trend of going south to reinforce Myanmar and Malaysia.
This is the result that the United States is looking forward to. Southeast Asia is head-only restraining Japanese troops and consuming a large amount of manpower and material resources to reduce pressure on the US military on the Pacific battlefield.
After careful consideration, the wheelchair president finally agreed to Stilwell's plan to move south and decided to focus on supporting the Southeast Asian Allied forces in counterattacking Malaysia and the Philippine Islands, restraining the Japanese army, and allowing the Japanese base camp to continuously increase troops in Southeast Asia, so as to reduce the domestic and domestic situation of China.
Military pressure on the Pacific battlefield...
A few months ago, 68 B-29 aircraft took off from Chengdu Airport bombed the Iron and Steel of Kyushu in Nagasaki, Sasebo and other industries, as well as the Chinese Ancient and Shenyang Hebao under the occupation of the Imperial Palace.
The island was bombed. 5 have passed so far. A total of 22 dispatches were dispatched and more than 10,000 tons of bombs were dropped, but the results were not achieved.
Although the maximum range of the b29 "Shengmen God" reached an astonishing 5,000 kilometers, the US military that had just occupied Saipan can barely be enough for bombers to travel back and forth, and the bomb load capacity is not enough, otherwise it may not fly back.
The most important point is that the large size of the b29 has high requirements for airport base stations. Obviously, Saipan does not have so many large airports for takeoff. Besides, other bombers and fighters cannot reach the range, nor can they
Form a numerical advantage for coverage bombing.
b29 If you want to carry out the mission of bombing Tokyo, you can only go alone. Not only will the danger be discussed in the absence of escort fighter jets, it cannot fully cover all heavy industrial areas of Japan, and the small number is of little significance to strategic bombing.
Therefore, Americans are eager to have one or more large military airports for their bombers to take off. On the one hand, they slowly push towards Japan in the Pacific Ocean, and on the other hand, they also want to achieve a flight springboard through the coastal areas of China and bomb Japan's mainland on a large scale.
, destroy industrial areas in the rear.
