He is not afraid that the person coming is someone like Stilwell, who is very ambitious, but has high ambitions and low abilities. He is even less worried about the kind of guy who has his nostrils in the air and is arrogant. What he is most worried about is a guy like Wavell who has a strategic vision.
, a guy who can see far away, but is also very rational and suppresses the desires in his heart.
The British delegation was led by such a figure, and Yang Zhen felt a lot of pressure on him. Facing a mediocre person, and facing a person with a strategic vision and good at thinking, the difference between them
The difference can almost be described as vastly different.
Yang Zhen was not afraid of Major General Stilwell's roars and criticisms, nor was he afraid of the arrogance of other British generals. For him, the more arrogant and unwilling the British generals were to accept the experience of the Anti-Alliance, the better for him.
.But Wavell’s meaningful smile when he said goodbye made him very uncomfortable.
I always feel that the old man's eyes, although he looks kind on the surface when he smiles, are like a sharp sword that can see through people's hearts. It is this look that puts Yang Zhen under a lot of pressure.
It feels like this old British man can see through everything.
Looking at the backs of the American and British delegations leaving in a hurry, Yang Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly. To be honest, he didn't know what happened to him tonight. There weren't many in the past, but he was still tactful in the face of this.
When he was a major general in the U.S. Army, almost all of them disappeared.
After saying some words, Yang Zhen himself felt that he had gone too far. In addition to consciously irritating people, what he said later was more because he did not want to give the American major general too much time to think. What Yang Zhen wanted to do was to completely disrupt
His thoughts prevented him from bothering himself so much.
In fact, Yang Zhen didn't know that the reason why he was so angry and spoke so harshly when facing the U.S. Army Major General was very simple. Because of the previous difficult negotiations with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union's greed and extremely selfish attitude, this
It accumulated quite a bit of anger.
In addition, when the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union were studying assistance to the Anti-League earlier, they excluded the Anti-League party, which made him feel a disguised insult. Of course, the sudden visit of the American and British delegation this time showed their distrust of the Anti-League.
This is also one of the important reasons.
All the emotions were accumulated together, coupled with the original bad impression of the American major general and his repeated provocations in addition to his initial rude remarks. Yang Zhen was always holding back a sense of energy in his heart.
It finally broke out on him.
In fact, Major General Stilwell deserved his misfortune, and it happened to be delivered to his gun at this time. If it weren't for this old American man, he showed a posture of distrust, which in disguise deepened the feeling in Yang Zhen's heart that he had been forcibly suppressing.
His anger was completely intensified.
In fact, no matter how bad his impression of Yang Zhen is, he will not take the initiative to stir up trouble. After all, he is a guest from afar, so he still understands this truth. Even if he wants to give some face to the American and British delegations, he cannot do this.
Rude. He had suppressed too much during this period, so he vented it out in this way. Apart from that, only he knows if he has any other thoughts.
After sending off the American and British military delegation, Pearson, who stayed behind instead of following back, looked at Yang Zhen and said with a bitter smile: "Yang, we are not here to quarrel this time. Even if some of Major General Stilwell's words were a bit rude,
, but he is a major general in the U.S. Army after all. It is very inappropriate for you to do this, and it will also make me very embarrassed."
"You have to know that he is very trusted by His Excellency the President. As for China's military policy, he has served as the military attache stationed in China for many years, and he still has a lot of say. You have offended him, although it cannot really affect the established policy of the White House.
But if he exerts some bad influence in the White House, it will still be quite detrimental to you after all."
"Yang, as an old friend, I still want to advise you. You should at least show some respect on the surface for General Stilwell. Although you are a lieutenant general, he is only a major general. But at least in terms of age,
At his age, he is more than enough to be your father. Even as a junior to an elder, your attitude today is a bit too much."
Regarding Pearson's persuasion, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Pearson, I can thank you for your persuasion and reminder that comes from the care of a true old friend. I can also tolerate his distrust of me, and even
Even if it is some insult, I absolutely cannot accept his contempt for my troops and slandering the honor they have achieved with their blood and lives."
"Pearson, you are also a soldier. I think you also value the honor of soldiers more important than your own life. If we were in another position today, I would be blaming or contemptuous of you, the American military. As someone who also regards himself as
You, who are proud of being an American soldier, can you accept it?"
"If we lose the war, we can barely accept it, but at least we are still the victor today. Our army does not have a long history. Not to mention compared with other Western powers, even compared with certain factions in our country,
All young and short."
"But all the honors we have were obtained through bloody battles from enemies who are countless times more powerful than us. The reason why we are here today is not a gift from the enemy, but because we have sacrificed countless lives and blood at the hands of the enemy.
Taken back."
"My personal honor and disgrace can be ignored. But the honor that our army has gained with blood and lives cannot be squandered or criticized casually by any one person, even if that person is a U.S. Army general. Because of the soldier in me
That innate sense of honor cannot allow me to accept his groundless accusations and slander."
"Pearson, I can tell you clearly here today that no matter our opponents, our allies, or anyone else, do not doubt our determination to defend our honor. We are not the Eight Banners soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, let alone
We are not the warlord troops who fought against Qin Muchu. We are an army with a steely will that dares to face any challenge in order to maintain its own dignity."
After Yang Zhen's powerful words fell, Pearson was speechless for a long time. As a soldier, although he has worked in the intelligence system for a long time, his innate sense of honor as a soldier is not as good as that of a soldier.
No one is worse. Major General Stilwell's words and deeds today are indeed quite excessive. If it were him, I'm afraid his reaction would be even stronger.
Looking at Pearson who looked confused, Yang Zhen asked Yuan Zhiruo to make a few cups of coffee and bring it over. After taking a sip, he hesitated and said: "Pearson, have you decided on the share of equipment and supplies for us? You three countries.
The branch meeting in Moscow will not fail to study our affairs."
Pearson, who was holding his coffee and wondering what to think about, heard Yang Zhen's question and said without careful consideration: "It's not finalized, it's just a rough number. As for the details, it's still unclear.
Make a decision based on your needs."
He was obviously careless and didn't notice that Yang Zhen took advantage of his distraction to get information out of himself. He gave Yang Zhen a casual reply and immediately reacted. Pearson, who knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said, immediately widened his eyes.
Said: "Yang, as an old friend, what you did is very unfair. You are setting a trap for me to get information from me. You know these things, and I absolutely should not say them."
In response to Pearson's accusation, Yang Zhen took a sip of coffee and said: "Pearson, as an old friend, are you honest? You personally told me to return to China to visit relatives and pick up my wife, but instead you went to Moscow to see the scenery. Don't tell me
, you went to Moscow this time not to participate in negotiations, but to pick up girls."
"Ever since you came to our place, you have been flirting with the petite and exquisite typist of the superior soldier in your observation group. For such a long time, I believe that with your status as a rich and handsome man, coupled with your brother's skills, I'm afraid
You must have put me in bed a long time ago."
"With your kid's physique, and with such a beauty by his side, you don't have the energy to deal with a tall Russian woman. Because you can't be a stallion, at most you are just a limited playboy. Your kid's background and
Because of your status, you will not be allowed to go there to hook up with others."
When Yang Zhen said these words, his tone was teasing, but the expression on his face was very serious. As for Pearson, who knew Yang Zhen very well about his private life, he didn't care about his teasing.
There was no embarrassment at all, but rather a sense of pride in his ability to pick up girls.
He has a background in military intelligence, and he sees some things very clearly. Although he is surrounded by authentic Americans, the people who serve him are all sent by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. The secret plainclothes guards around the station are also all
They were members of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. If they hadn't even been able to find out about their affair with the typist, they would still be here today, and they would have been taken advantage of by the Japanese army long ago.
It was precisely for this reason that he didn't care that Yang Zhen knew about his romantic affairs. This guy never regarded himself as an outsider in front of Yang Zhen, let alone because Yang Zhen was a so-called communist.
What a taboo. This guy took a sip of coffee and said, "Yang, I can't live your kind of Puritan life."
"Men, it's normal to have those needs. I'm far away from my homeland and my family to work in this ice-covered Manchuria. Apart from some books, there are almost no entertainment activities here. Yang, you have to know that you have both
There were no American movies, no dances, not even a ballroom."
"If there were no women here, life here would be extremely unbearable. I would not be able to spend lonely nights. You know, I am not that old-fashioned guy like Rodriguez. Chongqing is unbearable."
It’s the weather and the endless bombings from the Japanese. But here, it’s boring, dull and lonely.”
Regarding this guy's explanation that obviously changed the topic, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Pearson, as long as you don't harm us Chinese women, it has nothing to do with us how many American women you are willing to sleep with. Even if you are trapped under the quilt by your wife
, I was beaten badly at home, and I only treated it as a sight to see. Please, if your brother is in heat, go back to Moscow or New York."
"I just want to ask you now, what kind of ulterior secrets did the three of you tell us behind our backs? Pearson, after all, this is related to our future and whether we can fight against the entire Japanese invading army.
The strength for a decisive battle. And regarding the agenda of this negotiation, we must have an accurate estimate in mind, right?"
"The most important thing is, what kind of requirements can we make? Especially the special requirements in some aspects, such as military equipment, can we make some requirements? Or can we ask you to transfer some weapons production?
Technology. I don’t need you to explain it clearly, but what I need is a rough bottom line.”
