What does the country need most at the moment? As a close confidant of Ouyang Yun, Mu Jiandie will certainly give the same answer as Ouyang Yun. Asking the same question to others, they will definitely think that it means defeating Japan and regaining the country. Ouyang As for Yun, does he think so too?
In the living room of the Prime Minister's Office of the State Council, Ouyang Yun met with de Gaulle. After greetings, de Gaulle went straight to the point. He first expressed congratulations on the victory of the Pacific Fleet in the Timor Sea Naval Warfare Study, saying that this was a common victory for the Chinese and French people, and then bluntly said that France The people need the help of the Chinese people, and on behalf of France, he also requested the coalition government to provide assistance within its capabilities to help France launch a war of restoration as soon as possible.
Ouyang Yun listened to him quietly, and then expressed his dissent: "General, what you said makes me very sad. Our government and people have been helping your country's anti-fascist cause for a long time. General Angbos's revival The national army can have its current military power only because of the weapons and equipment we saved through digging our teeth. As you know, most of our country’s territory is still occupied by the Japanese. From this perspective, our country’s current situation is not It’s not much better than your country. I think we have done enough, whether from the standpoint of an ally or from the traditional friendship between the Chinese and French peoples.”
De Gaulle patiently listened to the translation, shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I understand what you just said, and I am very grateful for your help to the Restoration Army. However, I feel that given the current situation of your country, Strength can also give us more help. Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I don’t know if Foreign Minister Song and Director Mu brought my words to you. In order to show our sincerity, I have prepared what your country needs most at the moment. thing."
"What our people hope for most right now is to regain the old mountains and rivers as soon as possible. General, I don't think you can help us at this point."
"No, Your Excellency Prime Minister, you are too modest. Defeating Japan and regaining the lost territory. I think that with your country's current strength, it is a sure thing. I think, with your wisdom and wisdom, your ideal will never be limited to this. No matter what the outcome of this world war, the world structure will inevitably undergo major changes. As a traditional Asian power, your country deserves an equal international status. Although France has fallen in the mainland, we have also become slaves, but in the In the world, especially in the West, the speech of us French people still plays a certain role. To be honest with you, I originally thought that this world war would eventually become a contest between the United States, Japan, the Soviet Union, and Germany, so we placed all our hopes on the United States. People, but I didn’t expect that the United States could not even defeat Japan. Fortunately, your country’s comet-like rise has left the Allies with hope of victory. Your Excellency, Prime Minister, if your government is willing to help us regain our country and fight France will be willing to fly the flag for your country around the world and will always maintain brotherly and friendly relations with your country..."
De Gaulle kept saying "what your country needs most". Ouyang Yun guessed that they would make a fuss about the form. However, when de Gaulle said these words, he was still shocked. De Gaulle saw clearly the situation between China and Japan. As the evolution progresses further, especially after the Pacific Fleet has gained a firm foothold, Ouyang Yun's "ideal" will naturally not be limited to his own three-acre land, and this is actually the order he received when he traveled across time.
Why did he go to great lengths to help the Japanese become "strong", and why did he help the Germans develop missiles and jet fighters? Wasn't it because he wanted to change the outcome of World War II when the Soviet Union and the United States were dominant? As an Allied force, he actually had some benefits in doing so. It is suspected of playing with fire, because once Germany and Japan become unprecedentedly powerful and the Allies are defeated by the Axis Powers, China's situation will be even worse than that time and space, and it will even never be able to turn over. This will also be his own strength. The reason why he repeatedly hesitated when he was not very strong was because he was really afraid that he would become a sinner in history. But now, with the Pacific Fleet defeating the Yamato aircraft carrier fleet, he actually has the ability to compete with the Japanese combined fleet. , with the Xuebing Army fully taking the initiative on the Chinese battlefield, these worries are no longer troublesome.
Why does Ouyang Yun want to join Chongqing to form a coalition government? Isn't it because he hopes to take the initiative to control the destiny of the country and transform the momentum built up by years of painstaking efforts into fruitful fruits? Friendship, peace, once these beautiful words rise to the national level, That is a soap bubble in the sun, not even as real as a bullet. In this world, what really determines the fate of a country is strength, strength. If the wise saying "Political power comes from the barrel of a gun" is placed on the world level, then Status comes from the barrel of a gun. Of course, the Chinese have always been known for being peace-loving. Therefore, even if they need to establish authority, they will not go to other people's homes like gangsters like a certain country in a certain time and space. Swords and guns, at this time, it is really necessary to have a big country like France to help wave the flag and shout.
"General de Gaulle is an honest man." After the meeting, Ouyang Yun commented while chatting with Song Ziwen, Mu Jiandie and others,
Ouyang Yun's emotion was aimed at de Gaulle's remarks about the United States. In that time and space, not only the French relied entirely on the Americans, but also the United Kingdom, China, and even the Soviet Union, who did not rely on the United States to survive. ,
Song Ziwen rarely had such an opportunity to talk to Ouyang Yun as a "confidant". He asked cautiously: "Prime Minister, are you really prepared to agree to the French request? Will this happen when the country has not yet fully recovered its territory?" Give some people an excuse."
Ouyang Yun was not eager for de Gaulle's clear answer at that time, but asked a vague question. He asked de Gaulle at that time: Do you care about false reputation?
De Gaulle was such a smart man. He immediately understood the implication of his words and replied sternly at that time: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am not afraid of death for the sake of regaining our great cause. Why do I care about my reputation?"
Ouyang Yun was very moved after hearing these words, and solemnly said: "I understand, General, please stay here for a few more days. This matter is serious and I cannot be the master of it alone."
De Gaulle expressed his understanding and left happily.
Song Ziwen's above words were considered from Ouyang Yun's point of view and he considered it for him. Ouyang Yun felt very relieved. He smiled and said: "It is inevitable for the Chinese people to misunderstand when we send troops overseas when the country is not at peace. However, For the long-term interests of the country, I think it is worth it. During World War I, our ancestors had the foresight to send troops to Europe. Now that we descendants have such conditions and opportunities, of course we cannot miss it. Don’t worry, we will wait until our soldiers become famous. During the European war, the Chinese people will understand our decision-making today."
