"You are really as young as the legend." Mrs. Jiang said in her first sentence,
Song Ziwen leaned over and said, "I thought the same thing when I first met him in Guangzhou. Third sister, do you think the Xuebing Army will cooperate with our visit to the United States?"
"Why, don't you have any confidence? You were the first to discuss this matter with Xuebingjun."
"Have you noticed the attitude of the Americans, especially the old man MacArthur? I can see that this man is very arrogant, but when he talks to Ouyang Yun, he seems very respectful."
"Ziwen, I think your husband did something wrong."
"Um."
"Talents like Ouyang Yun should be roped in as early as possible. I heard that he is very close to Lin Sen and Feng Yuxiang."
"There has been relatively little contact in the past two years. According to my observation, Ouyang Yun's ambitions should not be at the center."
"How to say."
"I have stayed in Guangzhou longer than you. According to my observation, if the Xuebing Army was willing to take the initiative, it should be able to regain the area south of the Yangtze River and rely on the Yangtze River to confront the Japanese army, but he did not do so."
"Ziwen, you are wrong. This is Ouyang Yun's shrewdness. Just imagine, if he really sends troops to regain the area south of the Yangtze River, will the Japanese still tolerate him becoming powerful? If the Japanese concentrate Attack the Xuebing Army with a large number of troops, do you think they can hold it?"
"Maybe, but when it comes to the Japanese army concentrating its forces to attack the student army, it's not like the Japanese have never tried it. Unfortunately, they failed in the end."
"I heard that Ouyang Yun is not married yet."
"Third sister, why do you suddenly care about this?"
"I was wondering if there is a possibility of marriage."
Song Ziwen smiled bitterly: "It's unlikely, Third Sister, it's already too late to get married. Moreover, Ouyang Yun has no shortage of women at all. You have already seen Pan Mei, Chen Jiayao and Bai Liusu. Who is not a stunning beauty? Gu Lian We also see Ouyang Yun in the United States. It is said that he is not only beautiful, but also a good player in politics and economics. Hey, put it this way, I find that Ouyang Yun is very popular with women. "
…
At the same time, MacArthur and Hatton were talking about Ouyang Yun. They were in different fields and the focus of their discussion was also different. MacArthur had already learned from Guo Kui about the tyranny of cadet soldiers in the Philippines. Guo Kui as a The highest military officer of the Xuebing Army in the Philippines must rely on someone to rely on his tyranny on the front line. MacArthur, Hatton and others did not know the background of the Xuebing Army before, so they only interpreted Guo Kui's tyranny as a lack of education. It was personal factors. When they were rescued by Lang Ya and joined the Guangzhou group, they realized that Guo Kui had reasons for his tyranny. China may be backward in general, but the Xuebing Army has caught up with the world. Exchanges at the national level are so realistic and cruel. If you are inferior to others, you can only beg for mercy and keep a low profile. The growth of the Xuebing Army is outside the sight of Americans. For Americans, the Xuebing Army is like a bird dormant in a well. Although the little wild thing at the bottom usually makes a cry, it can only show its existence at most. But when the storm happened and the little wild thing jumped out, people discovered that it was actually a giant dragon.
The Xuebing Army has been able to grow to its current size, of course, because of Ouyang Yun. Ouyang Yun's identity as a time traveler is no longer a secret. Although there is no reasonable explanation for the term "traveler" in the scientific community today, as long as there is a little It is not difficult for anyone with some brains to discover that it is precisely because of the existence of "travelers" that the Xuebing Army is at the forefront of the world in many aspects. Seeing through this, the sudden rise of the Xuebing Army seems not difficult to understand. ,
For this meeting in Karachi, MacArthur, who had received instructions from Washington, had some expectations. The total destruction of the U.S. Pacific Fleet disrupted all preparations for the Far East War and the United States lost control of the Pacific. Management in the Far East has become disjointed. If the Japanese are allowed to dominate the traditional sphere of influence in Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States for two years, what kind of monster will Japanese militarism grow into, and what harm will it bring to the United States? This is something Americans are not willing to speculate about. Should they abandon the Far East from now on? You can think about this idea in your heart, but absolutely no one dares to bring it up in public. To increase troops and expand armaments, water far away cannot save fire close by, and the British The importance of the Chongqing government and the Xuebing Army was suddenly highlighted. Originally, the Xuebing Army was the best partner of the United States in the Far East. Unfortunately, this partner was a bit disobedient and did not play the role of a good little brother. That's all, Long Wangshu actually wants to be the boss. This is naturally something the Americans are not happy to see. It is true that the United States needs allies in the Far East, but these allies should be controllable little brothers. In this regard, although Roosevelt and Marshall, General Kim and others did not say it explicitly, but it was tacitly understood.
Since the student army is difficult to control, then we should focus on supporting the Chongqing government. It just so happens that Chiang Kai-shek is eagerly looking forward to financial aid from the United States. If money can be used to prevent more American young men from losing their lives, and can suppress the student army quietly The army, laying the groundwork for China's future situation, seemed to be a good deal for Washington. Washington was already ready to welcome Madam Chiang's visit and completely change its Far East strategy. At this time, MacArthur was captured by Japan. He was captured alive and asked the cadet army to help rescue MacArthur. Washington had already made a gesture of sacrifice. However, given that there were still tens of thousands of American young men struggling in prisoner-of-war camps on Luzon Island, or facing destruction Danger, this gesture of sacrifice seems to be far from enough,
The situation in the Far East has developed to this stage. Although no one in the United States has asked questions, Roosevelt, Marshall, and General King all have something to do with their misjudgment of the direction of the situation in the Far East and the strength of all parties.
It is said that one careless move will lead to losing everything. At the critical moment when Mrs. Chiang is about to visit the United States, how should Washington handle its relationship with the Xuebing Army and the Chongqing government?
If the United States continues to rely on the Xuebing Army, it will inevitably sacrifice certain interests in the Far East and instead support the Chongqing government. It is difficult to say whether the Xuebing Army will cut off its salary and directly ignore the American soldiers on Luzon Island and do its own thing.
When the Xuebing Army built an ocean-going fleet in the United States, nine out of ten Americans who had channels to know the news sneered and dismissed it. The ocean-going fleet is not a toy. Not everyone can play with it, and not everyone can play with it. With the mentality of waiting to see a joke, the Americans watched the aircraft carriers Yandi and Huangdi leave the west coast and sail all the way into the North Pacific. During the chat after dinner, many American dignitaries began to bet on how long this fleet could survive. Is it one month or two months? And underground casinos in major cities in the United States are even betting on whether this fleet can successfully reach its destination.
The aircraft carriers Yandi and Huangdi were still floating in the ocean. The Pacific Fleet, the pride of the United States, with more than a hundred battleships, was destroyed first. At this time, some senior officials in Washington realized the separation of Yandi and Huangdi.
The timing of his departure was such a coincidence that some people thought of Ouyang Yun's identity as a "traveler". When the Xuebing Army officially showed off the flag of the Pacific Fleet, the Americans suddenly realized that they began to face the Xuebing Army for the first time.
More things about Xuebingjun surfaced, and Americans became confused.
