Three hundred and seventy second chapter behind the intrigue
However, although the so-called public opinion is only superficial, under deliberate manipulation of personnel, it still has considerable power. Especially since the Anti-Japanese Alliance is currently just a Chinese local armed force, some big hats will still cause some waves if they suppress it.
In addition, the Japanese still have certain tricks when it comes to playing with public opinion.
Their ability to lobby outside the hospital is quite good. Taken together, even the top leaders of the United States have no taboos. However, in Yang Zhen's view, these issues mentioned by Pearson are not as good as those of the United States and Japan.
When they openly fight each other, it is no longer a problem.
If a fight really breaks out, the Japanese's ability to lobby outside the hospital will naturally be wiped out. As for Chongqing, when the Americans, who put all interests first, can't cover their own butts, they will care about their ideas. When necessary, face can definitely be used
Do Americans who don’t want them care about them?
Yang Zhen is not worried at all about any reaction from Chongqing. What he is most worried about now is that the materials for the Anti-Japanese Alliance will be included in the Soviet Union's share. The Soviets will definitely embezzle their own materials more openly and without taboos. But although
He was a little worried, but Yang Zhen believed that with the skill of the boss in the White House, since the wheelchair-bound uncle had this idea, he must have the ability and skill to ensure that the Soviets did not embezzle his supplies.
But there are some things that should be reminded as early as possible, and some methods and means must be found to deal with them. Don't be plotted by the Soviets who are very big, but definitely have a lot of savvy. The Soviets are playing tricks,
It has always been a combination of blatant and private tricks. If you don't take precautions, you will definitely not be able to do it.
I do not have certain countermeasures in hand. When the United States gives priority to the European battlefield, I am afraid that most of the time, I will only suffer a loss. However, this countermeasure needs to be carefully planned. That is,
We need to rely on the tiger skin of the Americans, but we cannot rely entirely on them.
As for the battlefield in Southeast Asia, Yang Zhen has made up his mind and must not get involved. It is a quagmire, and whoever falls into it will be unlucky. Yang Zhen does not want to be a scapegoat for others, especially the British who harm others without benefiting themselves. Let alone wings.
Even Americans themselves, who are far from prosperous, have probably suffered a lot in Southeast Asia. Moreover, there are some things in the middle that are simply unclear and unexplained.
After Yang Zhen thought carefully for a while, he raised his head and said to Pearson: "Mr. Pearson, you will calculate the aid to us together with the Soviets. I have no objection to this. But as a person with an intelligence background, I think
You Pearson are no stranger to the Soviet character."
"Based on the character and character of the Soviet people, once they think they are in need, they will swallow up every bit of the supplies that dear America has given us. Pearson, I can assure you, the Soviets will probably
Not only can I take it, but I can take it confidently."
"As for the United States, I don't believe that you will completely fall out with the Soviets who have held back the main force of the German army for us, because that is not in the interests of the Americans. I need the Americans to come up with a guarantee, or
It is a partial means to ensure that the supplies we deserve will not be swallowed up by the Soviets."
Yang Zhen's request is not high, but it is a headache for Pearson. His mission is only to convey the White House's decision, not to provide any guarantee to the Anti-Japanese Alliance. But what Yang Zhen said
He undoubtedly also shared those worries. He still had a certain understanding of the Soviet people's appetite.
Especially when the Soviet army is currently losing tens of thousands of equipment, it would be really strange not to give equipment to the Anti-Japanese Alliance. People are selfish, aren't they? That's what the British are like
It seems that the Soviets will definitely not make any exceptions.
But what he didn't expect was that Yang Zhenhui would be so distrustful of their Soviet comrades. Originally, Pearson thought that Yang Zhenhui would not have any objection to this proposal put forward by the United States. Because many people, including himself,
Some Americans believe that the Anti-Japanese War at least relied on the assistance of the Soviet Union to get to where it is today.
Among the documentaries broadcast in the United States, most of the weapons used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance were made in Poland. When he first arrived in Northeast China, he more or less saw Soviet-made anti-aircraft machine guns and large-caliber machine guns in the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Mortars. Later, he saw a large number of Soviet aircraft and tanks. In his opinion, the relationship between the two aspects should be very close.
The Anti-Japanese Alliance was not sponsored or controlled by the Soviets. This was something Pearson already understood not long after he came to the Northeast. Moreover, the young man in front of him had a strong sense of nationalism. On the surface, he had a relationship with the Soviet Union.
Very close. But privately, he was not lightly wary of the Soviets.
But in Pearson's view, the Soviet Union also made great efforts to support them. You must know that those Soviet-made aircraft and tanks will never be given to the Soviets in vain. At least the differences between them will not be taken as their own.
The so-called mentioning it to outsiders. At least in the past, this was what they had been trying to cover up.
But he didn't expect that compared to the Americans, the young commander in front of him was even more distrustful of the Soviets, and even openly expressed their dissatisfaction with the Soviets. As soon as he told the American plan, he
It was first proposed that the Soviet Union would plunder the supplies provided to them by the Americans, and that the United States should take necessary measures to prevent this from happening.
And his political commissar, listening to the conversation between the two of them, did not change his face at all. This shows that their distrust of the Soviet Union may have been there for a long time. Otherwise, his political commissar heard him talking to an outsider like himself.
The conversation would not be so calm and indifferent. Pearson clearly felt that this time it was probably not a simple disagreement, but a deep-seated distrust.
After all, he was an intelligence officer. In such a short period of time, Pearson had a better understanding of the true relationship between the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Soviets. But understanding is understanding. In response to Yang Zhen's doubts, Pearson
Johnson still has a headache because the White House did not give him any authorization on this matter.
After muttering for a long time, this man who had not figured out how to answer Yang Zhen's doubts simply told the truth: "Yang, I'm sorry, the White House did not authorize me to talk to you about these matters. But since the White House can
Making this suggestion, I think he probably, should, maybe have a way to deal with the greed of the Russians."
"After all, the White House still attaches great importance to the threat from the Japanese. And the White House actually doesn't have a good impression of the Soviets. At least in terms of trust, it is no more than it does to you. It's just that this problem doesn't seem to be you or me.
Things to worry about.”
In fact, there are still some words that Pearson did not say. Among the high-level people in the United States, those who have the power to decide such matters have obviously divided into two views. One is that the United States will send troops to participate in the war when necessary. The other group is that
It is believed that even if the Japanese take action in Southeast Asia, based on the current world situation, the United States should still prioritize Europe before Asia.
As for the United States, it should put its main force in Europe to deal with the Germans, who are a greater threat. As for Asia, the United States is most suitable to fight a proxy war. The United States will use all possible means to support the Chinese to fight against
The Japanese fought. The United States first cooperated with its allies to deal with the Germans, and then turned around to deal with Japan.
Because in the eyes of these people, Europe is not only the root of the United States and the largest market for the United States. They also believe that on the European battlefield, the United States now has two powerful allies that it can rely on. On the Asian battlefield, the huge and weak China
, it is obviously impossible to play the role of the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom in Europe.
The United States first entered the Pacific battlefield and was fighting alone, which was undoubtedly very disadvantageous for the Americans. Instead of wasting the lives of a large number of young Americans, it would be better to support the Chinese to fight the Japanese first. After the Japanese were weakened to a
After reaching a certain level, the Americans will join the war again. Try to avoid the situation where the United States is fighting on two fronts at the same time.
In fact, for Americans, there is not much difference between these two views. The biggest difference is the issue of sooner or later to participate in the war, rather than the issue of whether to participate in the war or not. One group believes that the Chinese are still armed by the United States.
ability to contain the main force of the Japanese army. The other group obviously does not trust the Chinese combat capabilities and believes that the entire war against Japan requires Americans to serve as the main force.
Americans had this idea as early as when Germany took action against Poland. After the war in Western Europe ended and the trilateral agreement between Germany, Japan, and Italy was signed, some high-level officials in the United States knew very well that the United States would join the war sooner or later. Because of the impact on the Americans
For example, whether the Germans occupy all of Europe or the Japanese dominate Asia, it is seriously against their interests.
It's just that the prevalence of isolationism in the country and the tough attitude of the anti-war groups have prevented the U.S. top brass from making up their minds. All disputes are still extremely secret. Not to mention ordinary people, except for relevant personnel.
In addition, the Vice President of the United States is not aware of this controversy.
But after the Anti-Japanese League came into being, the attitude of Americans gradually changed. Now for Americans, the idea of supporting agents to fight a war has gradually gained the upper hand. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Anti-Japanese League
The demonstrated combat effectiveness and tough attitude towards Japan made them feel that they could find a candidate in China who could achieve their wishes.
Of course, they will not sit back and watch the Anti-Japanese Alliance completely defeat the Japanese, because that will not bring any benefits to the Americans except reducing the threat. For the Americans, they clearly know their best interests.
What it is, and how to get the most benefit from it.
What they need is their agent, who can at least hold back dozens of elite Japanese divisions in mainland China and the Northeast from participating in the war. What they need is for the Chinese to continue to greatly consume the Japanese war potential so that they can truly compete with Japan.
When people fight, the pressure will be greatly reduced. Even if possible, let the Americans pick up a big peach.
Under the current situation where the Japanese are aggressive in Southeast Asia and the United States and Britain are under increasing pressure, the top leaders of the United States have even abandoned their differences and instead agreed that the United States has not yet participated in the war, or is not ready to participate in the war.
, it is undoubtedly a very good choice for the Americans to first build up an anti-alliance alliance that has the ability to truly compete with the Japanese on the battlefield.
One is a man who needs American supplies, machines, equipment, and technology, and has been authorized by the central government to flex his muscles. The other is a concubine who is eager to find an agent in Asia to hold back the Japanese offensive and replace the United States.
