It seemed that he was moved by Roosevelt's sincerity. Of course, only Ouyang Yun knew the real reason. After thinking for a while, he looked at Roosevelt and said with the same sincerity: "Mr. President, there is something I need to explain to you.
The reason why I initially promoted the Chinese Expeditionary Force's expedition to Southeast Asia, and subsequently asked General Guo Kui to lead the Second Expeditionary Army to reinforce the Philippines, was first to ensure the safety of our southwest transit, and secondly to repay your mixed fleet for evacuation in Singapore.
There is another reason for the help given to our army during the operation. We do not want the Philippines to fall, because this is tantamount to adding a barrier to Taiwan. To be honest, retreating from the Philippines is not in the interests of our army. If there is a slight possibility, we will
Won't give up."
Ouyang Yun finished speaking slowly, and Stilwell couldn't sit still again. This time, Roosevelt stopped him directly with stern eyes. Then he looked at Ouyang Yun and said: "General, thank you very much for your candor.
But between Australia and the Philippines, we can only choose the former. As you know, we have established a huge military industrial base in Australia. One of the white-tip dolphin production lines introduced from your army has been installed and has begun production. We need time.
.”
"General Ouyang Yun, please don't forget that for every more baiji dolphin produced in our country, you will earn an additional ten thousand U.S. dollars," Stilwell suddenly stood up and shouted loudly,
The reason why the United States was able to rise rapidly was that it made a fortune from the war in the world war at the beginning of this century. For this reason, there is a huge market for buying and selling arms and making war fortune among the top leaders of the United States. Americans are accustomed to exporting technology to obtain it.
After returning the money, they suddenly discovered that they were going to introduce military technology from other countries. Many people were extremely unbalanced. Stilwell was one of these people, and judging from his current outburst, he has obviously already
I have endured it for too long,
His graceless yelling angered Roosevelt. Roosevelt's face darkened and he shouted at him: "General Stilwell, sit down."
"Mr. President, am I wrong?" Although Stilwell pretended to sit down, he was still unconvinced and shouted,
McIntyre noticed Roosevelt's expression, quickly grabbed him, and warned him sternly: "Please shut up now, if you don't want to be kicked out."
Stilwell then closed his mouth, but his eyes when looking at Ouyang Yun were extremely unfriendly.
Roosevelt put on a different expression and said to Ouyang Yun: "General, please forgive General Stilwell for his gaffe. He is just too worried about the situation in Australia."
When Stilwell yelled the first sentence, Ouyang Yun's face became solemn. When he finished the second sentence, he looked back at Stilwell with anger on his face. Hearing Roosevelt's words, he turned around
Looking at Roosevelt, he shrugged and said: "Mr. President, it seems that we are not true allies, at least in terms of your country's military circles. Forget it, force is not sweet, so I will take my leave." After that, he said.
McIntyre nodded, then turned around and walked away without any intention of stopping.
As soon as he left, everyone in the Xuebing Army immediately followed him. McIntyre looked at Roosevelt's gloomy face, and quickly got up to try to persuade him to stay, but Ouyang Yun didn't give him a chance at all. So, very dramatically, everyone in the Xuebing Army
He came quietly and left abruptly, leaving a roomful of stunned Americans behind.
The car engine sounded, and then quickly disappeared into the distance. McIntyre hurried into the room, first apologized to Roosevelt for not leaving Ouyang Yun, and then shouted to Stilwell: "General, you are too impulsive. Well, don’t you have any overall perspective in your mind?”
Stilwell finally realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, but his long military career made it impossible for him to relax and speak softly to Roosevelt. He sat there silently, his face turned gray,
Roosevelt regained his composure at this time. He sighed and said to the anxious McIntyre: "The price will probably double at this time. Impulse is the devil. This shows that this sentence is very reasonable."
McIntyre didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at once. He saw Roosevelt turning the wheelchair towards his room. He was stunned for a moment and caught up to hold him. While pushing him, he asked with lack of confidence: "It shouldn't cause this." Let the meeting go bankrupt.”
Roosevelt laughed: "Why would you have such an idea?"
"The Chinese generals are too strong. If Stilwell makes such a fuss, there is no guarantee that he will not do something extreme when he is angry." McIntyre said,
"McIntyre, you underestimate General Ouyang Yun too much. Don't worry, although the price is a bit high, it is worth it as long as you can save Australia."
"The price is high."
"You have to pay a price for doing something wrong, Stilwell, well, I have to discuss with Marshall how to use him after I get back."
"Commander-in-Chief, aren't you angry?" In the car, Chen Shichang couldn't restrain his curiosity when he heard Ouyang Yun humming a ditty, and asked,
"It's too late for me to be happy when I'm angry. This idiot Stilwell did us a big favor." Ouyang Yun said with a smile,
Gu Lianyun also smiled and said, "The Americans are bleeding heavily this time."
Chen Shichang was very astute. After thinking about it for a while, he understood.
Ouyang Yun asked Gu Lianyun: "Lianyun, which point do you think we should focus on better, economic compensation or military dominance?"
"None of this matters. The most important thing is, are you ready?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. Chongqing is too complicated." Ouyang Yun thought for a while and said,
"Commander-in-Chief, I think the power of democrats can be borrowed." Chen Shichang said: "We should have our own political line. I think what we have implemented in Fujian, Guangdong and Qiong is very good. In summary, it should be a good policy agenda."
"I think differently from you. I think it is safer to put the army first and then the people. As long as we have the army, we can recover more land. It is much easier to implement our policies on the recovered land than in the Kuomintang-controlled areas. There are With the army and the people supporting us, our political system will have a foothold. No matter how the country's political situation changes, we will be in an invincible position."
"Then can we form a political party now? Let's call it a military party."
"There is no rush to form a political party. The most urgent thing now is to let more people know our ideas and let the people judge their merits. After the selection, we can summarize our political ideas and then consider establishing a political party. Shichang, I think you The soldiers committee that was organized before is good, we can pick it up again." Gu Lianyun said,
"I listen to the Commander-in-Chief." Chen Shichang acted cunningly and said,
Ouyang Yun smiled: "Then I will order you to re-establish the Soldiers Committee, but you will give this person in charge to Mr. Ji."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Chen Shichang agreed without hesitation.
