The "Heavenly Army" and the "Shanghai Kingdom" were making a fuss in the Indochina Peninsula. Organizations pursuing national independence in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar gathered in Bangkok. Nehru had heard about all this. What surprised him was that France The colonial government and the British colonial government actually turned a blind eye to this. You must know that these organizations are seeking armed independence and are rebels in the eyes of the British and French. Compared with these organizations, the Congress Party seeks Indian independence. The method of the "non-violent non-cooperation movement" was simply gentle. However, Nehru was puzzled and depressed. The British tolerated the violent Burmese independent armed groups, but they were unwilling to tolerate the moderate Congress Party. Pursuing the factors behind it, Ouyang Yun and Xuebingjun attracted more and more attention from him.
"This is the Commander-in-Chief of our Cadet Army, General Ouyang Yun, Commander-in-Chief of the Seventh Expeditionary Corps, Commander-in-Chief, and this is Mr. Nehru, Chairman of the Indian National Congress Party." Liu Dakai introduced both parties,
Ouyang Yun, wearing a straight military uniform, smiled and stretched out his hand, looked at Nehru and said: "Mr. Nehru, welcome."
Since time travel, I have met so many great people in history. Ouyang Yun has long been unfazed by honor and disgrace.
Nehru was surprised. He did not expect that this famous Chinese warlord giant who even made the British shy away was so young.
After shaking hands and exchanging greetings, the two parties entered the small auditorium of the base. After the guests and hosts sat down, Nehru first stated his purpose of coming. Nehru's posture was very low. The power displayed by the Xue Bingjun made him secretly frightened and at the same time, he was shocked by this behavior. He had greater expectations, maybe the Chinese could really help him, thinking this in his heart, the smile on his face became more sincere,
"I deeply sympathize with your country's situation, and I sincerely admire your party's efforts to seek Indian independence. Our country is actually also a victim of colonialism. Isn't Tibet in a semi-colonial state, and Xinjiang The activities of the Soviet Union are also rampant there, so we have a common language on the issue of opposing colonialism and seeking national independence..." Ouyang Yun talked eloquently, with strong confidence exuding on his face,
Regarding this meeting, under the guidance of Gu Lianyun, Ouyang Yun set the tone of establishing mutual trust, and then used his status as a participant in the Cairo Conference to draw a big pie for the Indians.
Ouyang Yun's current official status is actually just the director of a special zone under the Chongqing government and the commander-in-chief of the Xuebing Army. Logically speaking, even if he can attend the Cairo Conference and meet with Nehru, he can only do so as a representative of China. But The fatal thing is that the Chongqing government, headed by Chiang Kai-shek, did not grant him this status. Therefore, even if he could agree to some of Nehru's demands, at best he could only act as a student army special zone government or a student army, and could not represent the entire Chongqing government. China, however, both he and Nehru seemed to have ignored this issue. The conversation between the two always maintained a national level, as if Ouyang Yun had firmly established himself as the representative of China.
The same situation is also reflected in Roosevelt's invitation to Ouyang Yun to attend the Cairo Conference. Ouyang Yun's identity as a warlord was deliberately forgotten by Roosevelt. This is actually not a good thing for China. In Gu Lianyun's words, this is actually the deepest disrespect of Americans. The performance of the Chinese government, "If I were not convinced that the Americans and British need our help, I would even suspect that the Americans are doing this to cause trouble to China. Ouyang, don't underestimate this matter. Diplomacy is no small matter. Britain The activities of the people in Tibet and the Soviets in Xinjiang are actually all aimed at splitting China."
Ouyang Yun is a layman on foreign affairs, and is relatively immature when it comes to national-level strategies. Gu Lianyun's return has just made up for his weakness, preventing him from making principled mistakes on these issues. A trainee at the Karachi Military Base Among the senior officers of the army, Chen Shichang was more enlightened in this regard. He took over Gu Lianyun's words and said, "Should we give up this opportunity?"
"No, we can't give up. Under the current domestic situation, it is best for us to participate in the Cairo Conference. The exchanges and strength between countries determine the right to speak and the distribution of interests. The Chongqing government is too weak now. If they go to Cairo, they can only become Roosevelt and Churchill's foil, why Stalin didn't go? The domestic situation of the Soviet Union cannot be separated from him. I think the biggest reason is that he knew that this Cairo meeting could only see the faces of the Americans. Ouyang, I suggest you before traveling. Call the country and explain your reasons for attending the Cairo meeting and your expectations for this meeting. Also, we must be tough at this meeting and must not sacrifice any of the vested interests of our country and our military..."
With Gu Lianyun's help, Ouyang Yun quickly grew up in foreign affairs. Only then did he show confidence when meeting Nehru.
Ouyang Yun first gave a clear signal that he would help the Congress Party in its pursuit of Indian independence, and then asked Nehru to restrain the forces seeking independence in India and let them draw a clear line with the Japanese: "I heard that during the Battle of Pyay All the captured officers and soldiers of the country have joined the so-called National Independence Army organized by the Japanese. Is your party going to abandon its 'non-violent non-cooperation' and take a violent route?"
"No, no, 'non-violent non-cooperation' is the only line for our party to pursue national independence. We will never join the axis of evil. The captured soldiers joining the National Independence Army is just their personal behavior. I think they may have been influenced by Japanese coercion." Nehru vowed at first, but when he noticed that Ouyang Yun's expression became more and more serious, he couldn't help but speak slower and slower. By the time he finished the last sentence, sweat was already visible on his forehead.
Ouyang Yun's tone became tougher: "I don't care what the reason is, but as long as you dare to confront our expeditionary force, you are our enemy. We have only one way to deal with the enemy, which is to completely eliminate them mentally and physically. Chairman Nehru , there is one more thing I think it is necessary to inform you. The Japanese army has set up a secret service in New Delhi. This secret service is targeted at our Karachi military base. Please also advise your party members when you go back, so that they must not help them. To disobey, our student army will never allow anyone to damage the Karachi military base."
"No, the Chinese people are our friends, and we will definitely not do such a thing. I promise, then, at this Cairo meeting, we will ask the Commander-in-Chief to help convey our voice to President Roosevelt and President Churchill."
"I have already promised you. Why, do I seem to be a dishonest person?"
"No, no, Commander-in-Chief, please forgive me for my haste."
The British colonial government had very strict control over the Congress Party. Nehru and his party did not dare to stay in Karachi too long and left overnight. After they left, the telegram sent by Ji Xingwen about the issue of military expansion officers was immediately sent by Jiang Huangyong. In the hands of Ouyang Yun,
"Zhang Lingfu." Ouyang Yun couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this name.
Jiang Huangyong misunderstood what he meant and asked, "Is there something wrong with this person?"
Ouyang Yun laughed and couldn't comment, but started to smoke cigarettes with his hand.
This was his habitual action to think. Everyone else immediately closed their mouths and waited quietly.
