Although each of these people had a bigger background than the last, it was quite a headache. But Yang Zhen, knowing that he did not have much time to figure out their true purpose, immediately summoned Li Yanping, Guo Bingxun, Gao Yumin, Zhang Zhenhua, Military Region Security Minister Chen Bo, and Intelligence Minister
Chen Long and the two old coaches who had also fallen asleep not long ago were having a meeting.
As for the commander-in-chief, he and Director Xiang are still inspecting the work in the new district, and they will not be able to come back even if they receive the news. Director Li has returned to Yan'an, and the replacement candidate is still on the way. Therefore, this meeting can only be held by Yang Zhen and a few people.
Make a decision first. There is no other way. There are too many things to do, and we really can’t afford to waste time.
Others in this delegation, especially the British Yang Zhen, didn't care much. But the Americans, mainly Hopkins, Yang Zhen had to pay attention to. This man and the current American supplies station in the UK
Coordinating Plenipotentiary Harriman was directly responsible for the implementation of the Lend-Lease Act in the United States.
In particular, Hopkins is now the executive officer of the Lend-Lease Act. Compared with Harriman, who mainly coordinates the distribution of supplies to the Soviet Union and Britain, he has greater rights over the distribution of supplies under the Lend-Lease Act because
He is in charge of the distribution of Americans' global supplies.
And compared to Harriman, who did not come to the resistance after the Moscow meeting, he gained more trust from the owner of the White House. It can even be said that he was able to talk to the old man in the wheelchair. Although there was no
What kind of position is there, but he is actually the second-largest person in the US government, and he is definitely a super heavyweight. If you give this guy a bad impression, then even if the Americans promise to give him a lot of supplies, it will be in vain.
As for the guy who will take office as the chief of staff of the Chinese theater in a few months and take over the power of aid to China, Yang Zhen doesn't care. The amount of aid supplies is set by the White House, and this guy only has the right to distribute it. Besides, he
He was responsible for the distribution of materials in Chongqing and had no connection with the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Although you can't be indifferent to this guy, you don't need to care too much. You have to be polite, as long as he's not too cold. As for the British, they can do whatever they want. As for the fact that they want the Anti-Japanese Alliance to send troops to help defend Southeast Asia,
We absolutely cannot agree to this, this is an insurmountable bottom line.
We can talk about other things. Yang Zhen doesn't like the British army equipment, and he can't use the naval equipment. But aviation technology and equipment are what he urgently needs. Especially the long-range bombing and navigation technology, Yang Zhen is even more interested in it.
I'm salivating. If I can get it, that would be the best.
So although Yang Zhen was really angry about this visit that was almost equivalent to a surprise attack. But Yang Zhen had to pay attention to this guy who would have more power than heaven in the next few years. He was not satisfied if he was not satisfied, but he should
You have to do whatever you can to accommodate them.
In addition, there are those British people who are even more ill-intentioned. Instead of being able to help, they are likely to hinder them. And in this matter, they have just played a trick on themselves by taking advantage of the foresight in the news.
, at this moment, the bachelor was taking it out, but the Soviets standing behind him were holding him back, so Yang Zhen had to pay more attention.
Although the Soviets were anxious to sign the contract last night, Yang Zhen also thought that there might be pressure from the United States and Britain. But he did not expect that there would be such a drama. If he had known about such a drama, he would not have agreed to sign the contract with the Soviet Union at that time.
If people sign an agreement, there is no problem in delaying it for at least one day.
Not to mention making some concessions in the distribution of the quantity of materials. Although these things will not change too much because of the arrival of the American and British delegations. But you can also fight for it and suffer as little loss as possible. International
Relationships, aren't they all about mutual restraint? Without mutual restraint, the world would be even worse.
This is the real reason why Yang Zhen wanted to kick Rodriguez to death immediately after receiving the notice. Even if he had received the notice a few hours earlier, he would not have let the Soviets fool him. This
Damn it, such an important matter has been delayed until now.
If you don't like some of the practices of the Anti-League, that's your own business. Everyone's feelings about everything and every group of people and whether they like it or not are beyond the control of others. But for such an important matter, you actually
If you delay notifying me until now, this is not your personal matter.
In fact, Yang Zhen had at least some misunderstandings about this matter, and he only informed him of Major Rodriguez at the last moment. It was only at midnight last night that he received the news that he was really there at this moment.
Pearson in Moscow informed. At this time, the special train of the Soviet supreme leader that this delegation was riding on had already entered Khabarovsk, the Far East Military District Headquarters.
After he received the notice last night, he did not disturb Yang Zhen in the middle of the night out of politeness. If it were Pearson, a guy who was already quite familiar with Yang Zhen, he would not care about the time after receiving the notice.
We will also notify the Anti-Lianning Department of the difference as soon as possible.
The old-fashioned Rodriguez believed that calling someone out of bed in the middle of the night was extremely rude and not what a gentleman should do. Although he knew that the Soviets who left his place just in the evening would not let Yang Zhen do it at all.
Rest at that time. But he still stubbornly believed that it was impolite to disturb others at that time.
So even though the matter was urgent, this man who had been strictly baptized by Catholicism since he was a child only came to inform Yang Zhen leisurely and leisurely after getting up in the morning and having a leisurely breakfast. Of course, he did not inform Yang Zhen immediately.
Tell Yang Zhen that the reason is also due to secret instructions from the United States.
The Americans obviously did not want the stalemate between the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Soviet Union to continue, and the Soviet Union's battlefield was far higher on the Americans' scale than the Pacific region where the war had not really broken out at this time. Therefore, the Americans would rather suppress the Anti-Japanese Alliance in certain areas.
They did not want to force the Soviets too much.
Therefore, knowing that the negotiations between the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Soviet Union had entered the final stage, this man would rather move backward than make any advance. After receiving the notice, Yang Zhen, who immediately wanted to understand everything involved, had the intention to
Kick him to death, at least not all of them will be wronged.
This time, the United States and Britain acted very quickly and with surprisingly high efficiency. The U.S. and British delegation arrived in Khabarovsk at 11 o'clock last night. This morning, they took advantage of the information provided by the Americans. As early as the negotiation between the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union was about to end.
, Mr. Hopkins, who was not originally scheduled to participate, suddenly arrived in Moscow. He had already flown here directly from the United States in advance and was ready to fly five DC three-special planes to Northeast China to Harbin at any time.
It's just that the Far East Military Region did not notify Yang Zhen in advance about this matter. And for many things, the Far East Military Region's contact with Moscow is not all through radio stations. Some extremely confidential things, such as this kind of American plane landing on the Far East Military Region Commander
Regarding the location of the department, we still communicate through long-distance confidential telephone calls.
Therefore, although the Anti-Japanese Alliance has been secretly conducting radio surveillance on the Soviet Far East Military District, and the Americans went to the Northeast via Khabarovsk, they have never been able to find out any information. Yang Zhen was caught off guard by this super bomb that almost fell from the sky.
Weird.
If it weren't for the care of Mr. Hopkins' health and the unsafety of flying in an unfamiliar area at night, which caused so many troubles, the Commander-in-Chief of India, who is about to take over as the Commander-in-Chief of the British Far East, would have spent eight hours preparing.
No time will be left for the Anti-League.
I don’t know what the mentality of the United States and Britain is. Perhaps it is to examine the so-called real combat effectiveness of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. It can be said that they have really good intentions. It is also the view of those senior American and British officers that only such a sudden attack can be seen.
Only if they want something can they know whether their supplies and equipment will be wasted by the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Yang Zhen, who still understands the American character, knows that any frivolous things at this time will have no effect at all. So he is not worried about other things, but two things give him a headache. Most of all, he has no worries about other things.
The key thing is that damn Major Rodriguez, who raised the issue of confidentiality.
Hearing the news from Yang Zhen's mouth, everyone here was stunned. The Americans and British people ran over without even saying hello. What did they think? Although everyone is a bunch of bumpkins, they don't care.
I know what diplomatic etiquette is. But even if it is strictly confidential, it is still a bit unethical.
No matter how high the reception is for a delegation, you have to leave some time for them to receive it. But this is good. The notification received in the morning will arrive in the afternoon, leaving less than eight hours for preparation. This is not normal.
The way the visit should be done, is it simply a surprise attack?
Except for Yang Zhen, although others do not know who the American and British delegations are, let alone who Hopkins is, let alone what kind of position he holds in the United States. But everyone has a clear understanding of the situation.
These two are actually the ranks of all the soldiers in a delegation, and I still know them very well. After all, the current Anti-Japanese Alliance also awards military ranks.
The rank of the officers in the American delegation is not high. There is only one major general, and the rest are colonels and lieutenant colonels. But it is different with the British. Not only is the leader a general, but the rest are two lieutenant generals.
There are three major generals, and the lowest military rank in the delegation is also a colonel.
For those of you here who still don’t know what kind of role the American major general will be in the next few years, let alone how much power Hopkins holds in his hands, but we are all soldiers.
They had no feelings about the American delegation. But they all thought that the standard of the British delegation was quite high.
Although they felt that it was exactly the opposite of the truth, everyone unanimously agreed with Yang Zhen. These foreign devils, sending such a large delegation at this time, I am afraid they are definitely coming with bad intentions. Especially the British, including the British
The newly appointed brigadier general immediately had seven generals and three colonels.
Seeing that everyone here was stunned by the news from his mouth, Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "It is now less than eight hours before they arrive. Within these eight hours, we have to select an address and deploy
Good security, and arranging vehicles and other reception. As for the rest, we will wait until these guys arrive."
After listening to Yang Zhen's words, Chen Bo said with some dissatisfaction: "No. 1, why did these Americans and British launch a surprise attack? We welcome you, but you have to give us some preparation time. Eight hours.
How could it be possible to solve so many things in time?"
"It must be kept strictly confidential. The address must be chosen, and the vehicles assigned to them must be inspected and arranged. Even the driver must be selected. The waiters and chefs must also undergo strict political review. There are also guards.
Troops, and the necessary supplies. Eight hours, doesn’t this cost human lives?”
