The business negotiation meeting was finally about to begin, and that morning, Ouyang Yun received a piece of intelligence from the United States. After reading the intelligence, he smiled with relief and said, "It still happened." Then he handed the intelligence to Li Tieshu. , walked quickly towards the venue,
The intelligence report was about the establishment of the American Volunteer Air Force of the Chinese Air Force. It simply stated the commander of the air force and the size of the force. Li Tieshu read it and handed it to Ji Xingwen, and then asked in confusion. : "It still happened."
Ji Xingwen shrugged and handed the information to the copywriting officer on the side.
No one can understand Ouyang Yun's words, except Koizumi Minichiro. He has a butterfly mentality. He is always worried that his appearance will make the world deviate too far from the historical track, and then even he will not be able to control its process, direction, and in that time and space. , the U.S. Support Air Force was established on August 1, 1941, but here it was nearly a year late.
The negotiation meeting officially began. Samples of US aid ordnance provided by the US government were projected onto the screen by a slide projector. The firearms were okay. When images of tanks, chariots and howitzers were projected onto the screen, all the participants became excited. Why did the great central power The reason why we will be bullied by the small Japanese island nation is ultimately due to the backwardness of the military industry. For the officers here, the biggest pain is to watch the brave and fearless soldiers sacrifice their young and precious lives in the Japanese artillery fire. There is no way to save life. There is no doubt that Chinese soldiers are determined to protect their homeland and country. Every inch of river and mountain is an inch of blood. This is the most vivid and realistic interpretation of it. Chinese soldiers do not lack the courage to defend their homeland and country, and the reason why they suffer heavy casualties is But they could not defeat the Japanese army. The key lies in the backwardness of weapons and equipment. With these advanced American ordnance, it can be expected that they will win on local battlefields and then accumulate small victories into big victories, thus changing the entire China. battlefield situation,
"The Americans will not support our weapons for no reason. You must know this. The reason why the Americans are willing to assist us is because they need us to hold back more Japanese troops on the Chinese battlefield. Therefore, regarding the distribution of US aid weapons, The biggest consideration will be the number of Japanese troops faced by each department and the severity of the combat tasks it undertakes. Please take a look." Ouyang Yun said, and a slide map appeared on the wall behind him. On the slide map, in the middle The various confrontation fronts and the number of troops on the Japanese battlefield were marked. Ouyang Yun pointed at the marked confrontation fronts and the number of troops with a baton in his hand and said: "From this map, we can see that the most powerful force in the war against Japan is now There are three major armies in China, one is the Central Army, then the GCD Army, and then the GCD Army. In the Central Army, the Sichuan Army and the Guangxi Army account for a large proportion, especially the Sichuan Army. We will We will fully take this into account when allocating. I almost forgot that there is another area, overseas." When he said this, the slide map changed again, turning into the entire Asian region. "Including overseas, our Xuebing Army is The first main force of the anti-Japanese war, but don't worry, everyone, my previous promise is valid. Our cadet army will never take a shot or a bullet from the US aid ordnance. After our cadet army is the Central Army, and after the Central Army is Marshal Zhang's Northeastern Army, having said this, I need to solemnly state that the Northeastern Army is alone overseas to fight against the Japanese army. It should have been provided by the central government with logistical supplies. However, so far, the central government has only provided a batch of supplies when the Northeastern Army left Yunnan. Now The Northeastern Army raises its own food, grass and ammunition entirely. Everyone, the Northeastern Army is having a hard time, so I think we should also give priority to the Northeastern Army, and this is also the intention of the US government."
"Commander-in-Chief Ouyang, I don't agree with your point of view." Chen Geng suddenly stood up and said: "You must all know that our GCD Army has extensive anti-Japanese base areas in North China, Northwest China, Northern Jiangsu, Southern Shandong and other places. In these vast areas , we have a large number of guerrilla armed forces. Although they are poorly equipped, they fight extremely bravely, which largely limits the number of Japanese troops deployed on the frontal battlefield. It is obviously unfair for the commander-in-chief not to include them. Originally, this was Our military is confidential, but now I can tell you that these guerrilla armed forces total more than one million people. According to the commander-in-chief’s calculation, our GCD army should be ranked first.”
Chen Geng and others only insisted on being second last night, but now they are brazenly claiming to be first. Ouyang Yun couldn't help but laugh in his heart, thinking that this Chen Geng really dared to speak so loudly. He was about to refute, but there was someone in the Central Military Negotiation Group who couldn't help it. After losing his temper, he first said sarcastically: "I disagree with General Chen's words. Those guerrillas who wander without fighting can only be regarded as militia at best. What we are discussing now are regular troops. You drag these guerrillas in to make up for the numbers. What's going on?"
When Chen Geng heard this, he was furious: "It is better to roam without attacking than to fear the enemy and avoid fighting. The Americans provide weapons and equipment with conditions. If you get the equipment, you will fight the Japanese. You are like turtles huddled in Chongqing. If you get these weapons, you will What's the use? Is it used to maintain public security in Chongqing and oppress the people?"
"TMD, who said we were afraid of the enemy and avoided fighting? Mr. Chen, please do the math. How many of our Central Army officers and soldiers died in the anti-Japanese battlefield, and how many of your GCD troops died? TMD, why is there chaos in Chongqing? It's not You GCD are fanning the flames. You are thinking of taking power even before the little devils are driven out. I think your resistance to Japan is fake and your struggle for power and land is real."
Someone in the Central Military Negotiation Group launched a personal attack. Chen Geng smiled instead of getting angry and said to Ouyang Yun: "Commander-in-Chief, you heard it too. Do you still expect a person like this to devote himself to fighting Japanese invaders for the country and the people?"
"Okay, you two. We are all generals. How can we be noisy and noisy like common people? We are in Guangzhou now. We are here to discuss how to distribute US aid ordnance to be more beneficial to the domestic war situation. There is no need for personal grudges. It was revealed on this occasion." Bai Chongxi suddenly interrupted Chen Geng and said,
Ouyang Yun smiled at Bai Chongxi, and then said: "I agree with what President Bai said. Everyone is now a guest of our Xuebing Army. If you have any personal grudges between you, please deal with them after you go back. Don't affect us talking about business. Okay. ,Getting back to the subject, the Americans give us weapons and equipment in the hope that we can help them share the pressure. In order to ensure that this condition can be realized, President Roosevelt made a request, that is, they hope that the United States will send commanders and we will send troops to form a joint armed force. , I don’t agree with this plan, why, I’m worried that he will drag the team to Australia and the Philippines, so I propose that our student army come forward to organize this matter." Ouyang Yun said this very slowly, while talking. Observing everyone's expressions, he didn't know the representatives of the various factions here, except the Central Army, so he focused on the expressions of everyone in the Central Army negotiation group. As he expected, Chen Cheng and others were startled at first, and then their expressions became solemn.
