"The harmfulness of Ouyang Yun", the Japanese army base camp had many discussions on this issue, and launched several assassination plans. However, because of the existence of Wolf Fang and Fox Pupil, the Japanese even dispatched the dead chrysanthemum that had been hidden for many years. But still failed to succeed. Today, Ouyang Yun has long become Japan's number one enemy. However, because of the previous failure experience, the Japanese do not dare to assassinate lightly anymore. Ouyang Yun is like a stick stuck in the Japanese. The thorn in the throat continues to make the Japanese unhappy.
After Konoe Fumimaro came to power, because of his trust in Yamamoto Isoroku, Yamamoto's power was restored to the peak when Mitsumasa Yoneuchi was in power, and his authority was guaranteed. He then mobilized his forces to plan "Operation Breaking the Clouds", and his efficiency became extremely high. So, just two weeks later, a detailed and feasible action plan for the "Cloud Breaking Plan" was presented to Yamamoto, and its leading troops had successfully penetrated into Chongqing and began to monitor Ouyang Yun's actions.
Fox Tong's response to the Japanese army's Operation Stirring the Clouds seemed a bit slow this time. It was not that Mu Jiandie and Chang Gen were slacking off intermittently, but that they currently had more important work to do, and in the government When the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France all reached positive agreements and began to fully intervene in this world war, Song Ziwen proposed that Ouyang Yun, after convening a meeting of military and political leaders, decided to convene a high-level allied meeting in Chongqing in the near future to coordinate the allies. Song Ziwen made such a suggestion at this time because he felt that since China has fully intervened in this war and has actually become the main force of the Allied forces to resist the axis of evil in various battlefields around the world, then in diplomacy Obtaining equal international status has become a matter of course: "We must let the whole world know that it is because of China's sacrifice and contribution that the allies can remain undefeated. According to international practice, since we have paid so much for world peace, If you make a big sacrifice, then it’s appropriate to ask for rewards in other ways.”
Ouyang Yun really hasn't thought about seeking a higher international status through military victory. It's not that he is humble, but that he doesn't have the energy to take it into consideration. In this regard, Song Ziwen, a diplomat, The minister was doing his duty. Song Ziwen's words reminded him of the Yalta Conference in that time and space. It was at this meeting that, at the request of Stalin, Outer Mongolia completely separated from China, and the three countries of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union took the final decision. Regarding the division of forces in the new pattern of the post-war world, "History must not be allowed to repeat itself. Of course, one's own destiny must be in one's own hands." Ouyang Yun thought so, and then asked Chen Jiayao to invite Song Ziwen to discuss this issue with him. ,
When the Yalta Conference was held, the Allies had a sure chance of victory, so this meeting was not so much about discussing the next layout and coordinating the military actions of various countries against Germany and Japan, but it was more like a "cake-sharing meeting". In terms of background, it seems that it is not It is the best time to hold a similar meeting. After all, the German army firmly controls the situation in Europe, North Africa, and the Soviet Union. However, considering that China has a comprehensive advantage over Japan, the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union are having I beg China to convene such a meeting at this time, but it is most beneficial to China.
Song Ziwen agreed with Ouyang Yun's view. As a diplomat, his vision of international affairs was sharper than Ouyang Yun's. In his opinion, convening a meeting at this time would not only lead the war against Japan, but also lead the war against Japan. Japan has the right to dispose of Japan, and it can also solidify a number of agreements reached with the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union, making them clear and stylized to prevent them from going back on their word: "After Asia is Japan, the Soviet Union will definitely become our country's potential enemy. , So I think it is completely in our interests to use this time to weaken Soviet Russia to the greatest extent. In addition, I think the Prime Minister can take the opportunity to raise the Pacific issue. Asia can only be China's Asia, whether it is the United States or the United Kingdom. They should all withdraw from the Pacific Far East..."
Based on history, Ouyang Yun did not have much favorable impression of Song Ziwen, and even thought that he did not have the potential to become a diplomat. However, as his contacts increased during this period, he was surprised to find that Song Ziwen was what China needed. Minister of Foreign Affairs, it turns out that he also has such a tough side on foreign affairs,
"Seizing control of the Pacific and Far East regions and dominating Asian affairs" may be a question that all the top leaders of China's current government have in mind but dare not think deeply about. This is why they lack confidence in this matter. , It has something to do with China's previous international status. China has been weak for too long and suffered too many grievances in international affairs. It is like a person who is used to being a horse boy and suddenly becomes the boss overnight. I can't help but will have doubts about their abilities.
Ouyang Yun has discussed this topic with senior officials of the Xuebing Army, and among the coalition government, so far, only Song Ziwen has taken the initiative to raise this topic. This naturally made Ouyang Yun look at him with admiration, and at the same time he was secretly surprised.
The issue of the Far East, the complete expulsion of the Japanese invaders, the restoration of the country, and the complete control of the situation in the Pacific. These matters involved a lot of Ouyang Yun's energy, so he seemed a little powerless in other matters, and he was even more eager to get help from others. Originally, He was also planning to ask Ji Xingwen or Li Tieshu to help him, and now Song Ziwen seems to be a good candidate.
After the targeted high-level meeting, he came to Song Ziwen again and clearly gave Song Ziwen the task of preparing for the "Chongqing Conference" and promised him that if he could handle this matter well, he would consider letting him serve as a member of the United Nations. assume heavier responsibilities within the government,
When an international conference is held with the participation of high-level officials from the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, and France, the security of the leaders of these alliances is naturally a top priority. It is understandable that Mu Jiandie and Tsunene are unable to take care of other things, and for the Japanese For them, this is indeed the best time for them to launch the "Cloud Breaking Plan".
On December 25, 1943, just as U.S. President Roosevelt's special plane was flying from New Delhi to Chongqing, Yamamoto Isoroku, who had received relevant intelligence, gave an order to the Fuxiang aircraft carrier parked off the coast of Shanghai. Ten special attack planes and thirty-six Zero fighters took off and flew towards Chongqing at full speed. At the same time, in some inconspicuous buildings on many streets in Chongqing, people wrapped up like rice dumplings sneaked in. The flow of people then drove to their respective lurking places by car or on foot.
