Regarding this meeting, Ouyang Yun was most worried about whether Stalin would agree to make the Sino-Soviet Chongqing Agreement public. Once the Sino-Soviet Chongqing Agreement was made public, it would mean that it would be supervised by international public opinion. By then, even if Stalin acted like a hooligan and refused to admit it. China had righteousness in hand and could still maintain the right to investigate. In order to make Stalin compromise, Ouyang Yun worked hard, and the surface-to-surface missile was the first thing he brought out that was eye-catching. bait,
The United States, Britain and the Soviet Union successively issued requests for private meetings. Out of practical considerations, Ouyang Yun did not give a direct response. However, because he did not say anything, Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin, although anxious, still held the hope that Hopefully, this will ensure a strong atmosphere for the formal talks the next day. In the meeting led by China, the Chinese battlefield will naturally be ranked first. As the supreme commander of the Allied forces in the Chinese battlefield, Ouyang Yun will make a routine report to the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union on the situation in China. Introduction, and finally a confident statement: In at most one year, China will be able to completely defeat Japan, expel the Japanese army from Chinese territory, and recover all lost territory. The situation on the Chinese battlefield does not require the assistance of other allies, and the Chinese war will not Just after Ouyang Yun's unilateral explanation came to an end, the Australian War and the Pacific War situation entered. The Australian War and the Pacific War situation were now in charge of the Americans. Roosevelt took over the right to speak, but because the Australian War and the Pacific War situation were now on the Allied side. The situation was terrible, but it was not a good thing for Roosevelt. Different from Ouyang Yun's eloquent talk, Roosevelt's performance made people feel like he was still half-hiding his face with his pipa. As a politician, Roosevelt's basic skills He has mastered the practice, so from beginning to end, although there is little news of victory in his explanation, on the contrary, there are many difficulties, as if the situation of the Australian War and the Pacific War will collapse at any time, his face has never changed. After describing the Australian War and the Pacific War, After the terrible situation in the Pacific War, Roosevelt then analyzed the importance of these two battlefields and proposed that at a time when Germany was at the forefront of the Axis powers, the Allied forces had different attitudes towards Germany, Japan and Italy, and that priority should be given to them now. Solving Japan, the relatively weak party among the three countries, and as long as Japan is solved first, the Allies can concentrate their efforts on Germany and Italy, and only then can they win the final victory of this world war. Before Roosevelt could finish his words, he was strongly criticized by Stalin. Stalin had very good reasons for his objection. He believed that the performance of the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield had proved that Japan did not have the ability to threaten world peace. On the contrary, Germany was the biggest enemy of world peace. "We should see that, In North Africa, the Middle East and Soviet Russia, the German army has taken the initiative. As long as the German army wins any one of these three battlefields, everyone, have you ever thought about what the world will be like by then?" Stalin came prepared. At this point, he ordered his subordinates to take out a world map, and then used this map to further elaborate on the dangers of leaving the German army alone. Finally, he said: "For the sake of world peace, the Soviet people are willing to make sacrifices, but the current situation is that any If Germany continues to develop, can we still defeat it? Commander-in-Chief Ouyang, I admit that your country's national defense force is now quite powerful, but do you think your country alone can defeat Germany?"
Does China now have the ability to defeat Germany? Ouyang Yun has certainly thought about this question, and the answer is naturally no. It is not an exaggeration to call Germany a military monster now, with a regular army of 10 million, and plus The total strength of the retinue armies that occupy various countries is about 18 million. How many armies does China have now? The student army has 1.2 million, and the national defense army has about 3 million. Plus the GCD and Shanxi-Sui army, the strength is Just about five million. The strength comparison is one aspect. Let’s look at weapons and equipment. The German army has always had more than 5,000 fighter planes and tanks. As for China, the student army and the aircraft and tank industry have developed rapidly. Yes, the production capacity is not low, but as of now, its inventory is only about a thousand "vehicles". It can be said that it is not a player on the same level at all. Of course, the numbers are always dead. Although the German army has excellent military strength and advanced weapons There is a lot of equipment, but there are also many battlefields that it has to take care of. Evenly divided, China may not be incapable of fighting. Moreover, in terms of core military technology, China is actually at the forefront of Germany. This can be regarded as Ouyang Yun not fearing Germany. However, as Stalin said, once Germany is left alone and allowed to deal with Britain and Soviet Russia first, China will really not have the ability to face Germany alone by then.
Stalin's question was so sharp that Ouyang Yun seemed to be stunned for a moment. On this issue, the British and the Soviets had a common position. Therefore, although Roosevelt frequently pointed his eyes at Churchill, the latter did not seem to see it. As if, always remaining silent,
Ouyang Yun pondered for a while and said slowly: "Currently, none of the four countries in Germany has the ability to fight alone. As General Secretary Stalin said, I think we really cannot sit back and watch Germany dominate. , At this point, China has set an example. You must have seen that although the situation on our domestic battlefield is still tense, we still organized a considerable Far East Expeditionary Force to expedition to Soviet Russia... I think that the current strategic focus of the allies is , there should be some emphasis on battlefields with German participation. Of course, this does not mean that we can ignore Australia and the Pacific battlefield. In fact, in my opinion, these two battlefields are equally important to the allies..."
After Ouyang Yun's long speech, both Stalin and Roosevelt rolled their eyes. Ouyang Yun was too cunning. He did not give a specific position on the issue of whether the Soviet-Russian battlefield was more important or the Australian and Pacific battlefields. They knew , Ouyang Yun was waiting for them to make a bid. From Stalin's point of view, the reason why he emphasized the importance of the Soviet-Russian battlefield on such an occasion was naturally because he hoped to use the "Chongqing Conference" to decide on the Chinese National Defense Force's dispatch of troops to Soviet Russia. This incident made the proposal more legitimate. It can be seen that to this day, he still does not want to give up the large territory in the Far East that he has firmly grasped. From Roosevelt's perspective, he actually does not care too much about how much more he has to pay. Military expenditures and aid, but the problem is that Ouyang Yun is greedy. He must use this meeting to set the price to prevent him from increasing the amount at the last moment. After all, he, as the president, still has to take into account the interests of taxpayers, especially those big taxpayers.
All parties participating in the meeting had their own aspirations and aspirations, which naturally led to conflicts. Therefore, although the day's meeting lasted for a long time, no substantive resolutions were reached in the end. This seemed to indicate that the Chongqing meeting was bound to be a time-consuming meeting. long wrangling meetings,
