Chapter 800 Rejection (13 more)
After hearing General Chiang talk about the difficulties of China's war of resistance, Marshall immediately stood up and saluted General Chiang, as well as a salute to the brave and unyielding Chinese people.
"Thank you, please sit down!" After Jiang Cheng replied, he said to Marshall.
"Sorry, we really didn't know this information before, but now I think it's really not easy for you to defeat the Japanese in the Chinese battlefield and Southeast Asia battlefield!" Marshall said with a smile.
"Well, it's really not easy. Last time, Hu Bin and Wei Lihuang killed 500,000 enemies in Myanmar, and our casualties were about 300,000. In other words, although we won, it was difficult to win!" Commander Jiang said.
Marshall heard it and nodded.
"Mr. Jiang, I want to know how you judge the situation in Southeast Asia now, or do you firmly believe that your expeditionary force can win the victory of the war?" Marshall said.
"That's right, we always believe in our victory. We believe in our front-line commanders and our front-line soldiers. They never retreat or fearful when facing the Japanese!" Commander-in-Chief Jiang nodded and said, believing in this very firmly!
"Very good, I want to know the conditions you put forward before, do you still want us from the United States to help you now?" Marshall nodded with a smile.
When Commander Jiang heard this, he laughed. However, it was not good for Marshall that Commander Jiang smiled and shook his head.
"No, thank you. I think we can still win the battlefield in China. We consider that after the war is over, our expeditionary force will retreat near the border of our country. At the same time, our Chinese troops will start a battle to recover the country and territory!
So, we don’t need the requirements we mentioned before. We also know that the United States is in trouble now, and we don’t want to add more trouble to the United States!" Jiang Tongshuai said with a smile and shook his head.
"No, no, I think you misunderstood what I mean. We didn't say no to help. The reason why I didn't agree immediately before was to understand your Chinese army. When I saw that their conditions were so difficult, they could beat Japanese troops on the battlefield. This made me and my colleagues very impressed.
Therefore, this time I came here to talk to you about the agreement. I hope you don’t get me wrong. I am a soldier. First of all, I am interested in your country’s troops. I am not a specialized business staff in negotiations, so I am not interested in those things.
However, now I think we can talk about it. We in the United States need you China, and the whole world needs you China!" Marshall looked at Commander Jiang, a little anxious at the beginning, but at the end, he was very sincere!
"General Marshall, I know that the anti-fascist wars around the world are very difficult now, but the price we paid in the war against Japan is huge. We do not want our anti-fascist achievements to be ignored by countries around the world. In addition to our domestic situation, we are considering to regain the domestic land first.
Moreover, I think, General Marshall, you are also betting now, hoping to bet that our Chinese expeditionary force can win in Myanmar, so that the gains you can get are huge, but we don’t want to do it now!" Jiang Tongshu said with a smile.
"No, I see your confidence in China's fight against Japan. I believe that even if you China fails temporarily on the expeditionary force, in the long run, you China will eventually win. I firmly believe in this now!" Marshall said immediately.
When Commander Jiang heard this, he sneered in his heart. He knew that the news that the Expeditionary Force had defeated the Japanese Air Force on the front line must have reached Marshall's ears. Marshall said that he believed that China could win the anti-Japanese war, which was nonsense.
"In this way, I think we should wait and talk about this matter, and then talk about it after our expeditionary force has won. Now we are also considering how our country should go in the next few years. The people of our country hope that we can quickly recover the country. We must do our best to achieve the expectations of the people. We cannot disappoint the people of our country, right?
So, I think we'd better wait and talk. I know your kindness. When we decide, we will negotiate with you again!" Jiang Tongshuai said with a smile at Marshall.
Marshall was a little depressed at this time. He knew that he had missed the opportunity yesterday. If he had talked with Commander Chiang yesterday, perhaps the United States could still obtain good conditions because of the current situation of the Expeditionary Force, but now China will no longer talk, and hopes to wait until the expeditionary force is over before the expeditionary force is over.
When the expeditionary force wins, it will not be the current conditions. However, he also knew that China would not talk to them now, and now he could only wait. Marshall chatted in Commander Chiang's office for a while and then left.
At this time, He Yingqin and the others were standing behind Commander Jiang. Looking at Commander Jiang, a senior cadre from the Executive Yuan looked at Commander Jiang and asked: "Why don't you talk to them now? If you talk to them now, we can get a good agreement!" Commander Jiang looked at him, smiled, and said nothing more.
"Commander, the gap between us and Yan'an is getting bigger and bigger. Without the support of the United States, it will be even more difficult for us to narrow the gap between the two sides. Now, many equipment in Yan'an can be produced by themselves, and they can also produce weapons and equipment by themselves. This is a huge pressure for us!
In addition, now the people in our country are fleeing to Yan'an, which can provide them with many job opportunities so that they can have a full meal. If we cannot recover the economy quickly, many of our talents will be lost and they will all go to Yan'an!" The cadre said anxiously when he saw that Commander Jiang did not speak.
"It is not the best time yet. The United States is also looking at the dishes. Even if we reach an agreement now, once our expeditionary force fails, they will still tear up the contract immediately. Such contracts between countries are the most ineffective.
And when our expeditionary force wins, we will be able to put forward better conditions and the United States dares to support us with confidence. Now, you can wait first, this time will not be too long!
The Expeditionary Force will soon end the battle, from three months to one month, and there will be better results at that time. Your Executive Yuan will also go to our country to investigate the economic situation of our Chongqing-controlled area, and wherever it is suitable to run a factory, and make plans first.
There is also the power plant. I will apply for several power generation equipment from Yan'an, or ask them to help us build several power stations. Before the United States officially assists us, we must do our own thing!" Jiang Tongshuai glanced at the people from the Executive Yuan, then glanced at the people from the Executive Yuan, and said lightly.
He knew that the people on the Executive Yuan had always had opinions about him because they believed that they were determined to fight and defeating China's economy. But they didn't know that if they had not insisted on fighting, the country might have been gone long ago, and there was no matter what the Executive Yuan had.
"That's good. If Yan'an aids in building our power station, I think many industries here can still be built, and we can also apply for more American industrial equipment back!" President Song of the Executive Yuan immediately stated.
"Okay, you guys go back. Wait for good news from our expeditionary force!" Commander Jiang waved his hand and said.
After the Executive Yuan people left, Jiang Zhengshuai took the generals out of the conference room. After returning to his office, the generals were standing there watching Jiang Zhengshuai.
"I want to form a new corps and start fighting in Jiangsu. I must take back Nanjing and Shanghai before Yan'an. If these two places are occupied by Yan'an, we will be embarrassed by it at that time! Also, with Shanghai, it will be very helpful for us to develop our economy!" Jiang Tongshuai sat there and looked at them and said.
"Commander, Nanjing and Shanghai are not easy to fight. The main reason is that we do not have enough air force. Outside Shanghai, Japanese warships can be parked. Once they use warships to bomb our Shanghai, the price they will have to pay will be huge! If they want to fight Shanghai, they must have an air force! A powerful air force!" He Yingqin said.
When Jiang Tongshuai heard this, he looked at Li Zongren without saying anything.
"Commander, Yan'an sent a telegram. They will deliver our plane as early as March next year. Now we have not discussed the details yet. I don't know when to discuss it!" Li Zongren said immediately.
"Well, you need an air force. The planes in Yan'an are good, so we will use Yan'an's planes!" Jiang Zhengshuai nodded.
"Commander, it doesn't matter if we don't have enough planes. As long as there are planes in Yan'an, it's fine. When we fight Nanjing and Shanghai, we can ask Yan'an to dispatch planes to assist us in the battle. I think they will definitely agree to this!" Sun Liren, who was standing behind, spoke.
"Hmm? Your idea is good. Do you think it's okay?" Jiang Tongshuai said happily when he heard Sun Liren's words.
"It's really OK. Yan'an will help, but it depends on how many planes they have in China! In fact, Commander, I think it's best to let Hu Bin command this time in regaining Nanjing!" Li Zongren nodded and said.
