No wonder Inoue Narumi and Honma Masaharu were suspicious. In fact, this change happened too fast and the span was too big.
In fact, in this matter, there are many people who can't figure it out at once. This is the main reason why Guo Muyi was able to obtain relevant information as soon as possible. Solomon's original intention should be to keep "Melbourne Secret" in the dark. Underwater, but there is no airtight wall in the world. On the day the secret agreement was officially signed, the matter spread among the upper class in Washington. Immediately, American politicians who were strongly dissatisfied with the matter reported the matter to newspapers and reported it to The Chinese Embassy in the United States.
The Chinese ambassador to the United States at this time was Hu Shi. Hu Shi had good political insight and realized that this incident would have a significant impact on the current world structure. He immediately informed Guo Muyi, who immediately issued the highest confidentiality level to the country. After sending the secret message, a meeting was immediately held with heads of departments and organizations in Washington to discuss countermeasures.
When the Xuebing Army was still living in Renqiu, Ouyang Yun began to secretly develop its forces in the United States. Today, thanks to its strong scientific and technological research and development capabilities, the companies established or controlled by the Xuebing Army in the United States have involved various companies in the United States. On the other hand, the number is more than 300. Ouyang Yun asked Guo Muyi to take charge of the overall situation in the United States because he believed that his ability and vision could help these enterprises of Xue Bingjun avoid political and investment risks and maximize their profits.
Guo Muyi is keenly aware that once the alliance between the U.S. government and the Japanese government becomes a reality and China and the United States become enemies or competitors, the U.S. government will inevitably covet the wealth that China earns in the United States, so he believes that from now on, the transferred assets and The protection of important personnel and technology is a top priority.
"I have reported this matter to the Supreme Commander, and I believe that I will receive the latest instructions soon. There is no need to doubt this matter. Although the US government has not publicly admitted it, I have sufficient evidence to prove that this is true. Therefore, The main things we have to do now are the following..."
Just when Guo Muyi was convening a meeting in the United States, Ouyang Yun was already sitting with Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Cheng, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren, Song Ziwen, Tie Linfei, John Niu and others in Chongqing.
When everyone here heard the relevant news from Ouyang Yun, Chen Cheng was the one who had the biggest reaction, "It's impossible, incredible, completely unimaginable." He expressed his shock with three "impossible"s in a row, and then, after the cruel fact In front of him, he asked Ouyang Yun in an uncertain tone: "If we exert pressure through the United Nations, is it possible to reverse this matter?"
In the minds of everyone here (except Ouyang Yun), the United States is still powerful, but China is far from powerful enough to be an enemy of the United States, so their first reaction is to avoid becoming an enemy of the United States as much as possible, and Be willing to make efforts for this.
Chen Cheng's reaction was expected by Ouyang Yun. After all, the former is the most famous pro-American element among the top leaders of the coalition government.
This was the first time for Chiang Kai-shek to attend such a meeting, which shows how seriously Ouyang Yun takes this matter.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ouyang Yun said in a calm tone: "Of course we must make use of the role of the United Nations, but this can only be a auxiliary means. What we must pay attention to is that, first of all, the secret agreement has been signed; secondly, In this matter, the American people may express opposition, but this does not include those who really control the United States. Perhaps initially, the vast majority of them will express opposition, but after tasting the sweetness, they will never give up. Yes, the United States is an out-and-out businessman country, and the pursuit of interests is the basic criterion for their behavior."
"It's so shameless. Don't Americans care about international public opinion and reputation?" Feng Yuxiang shouted.
"Guo Muyi's telegram said that Koizumi Minichiro used 150,000 US military prisoners of war as bait. If Solomon can really get these 150,000 people back from the Japanese without any damage, then his decision will be sympathetic. I don’t understand, I really didn’t realize that this Koizumi Minichiro actually has such political wisdom.” Song Ziwen said.
Regarding the understanding of American society and Americans here, Song Ziwen ranks second and others would never dare to rank first.
"Then what should we do?" Li Zongren asked the question he was most concerned about.
"There are two things that must be done immediately. Lin Fei, you immediately dispatch all the idle, no, dispatch all the flying fortresses and golden eagles that can be dispatched in the country, and immediately assemble and fly to Karachi; Ziwen, you are responsible for the official article , when you go back, immediately organize people to pursue this matter with the US government. Remember, the louder the noise, the better. I think that in the short term, the possibility of the United States going to war with us is not high, so we must seize this time to do a good job. All preparations... I will ask all overseas troops to be prepared to meet new enemies. In addition to the United States, the United Kingdom is the key target of prevention. Everyone, when the Northeast War enters the final moment, this kind of thing suddenly happens. This will be the first time. The biggest challenge we will face during this stage and for a long time to come is that foreign enemies are unprecedentedly powerful, which requires us to be more sincere and united, so I hope you will warn your subordinates when you go back. From now on, I will have zero tolerance for internal fighting. attitude.”
Ouyang Yun said the last sentence in a cold tone, which was also his real purpose of inviting Chiang Kai-shek to attend this meeting.
During the time when Ouyang Yun stayed in Zhangjiakou, Chongqing was not peaceful. Fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek was still calm or relatively aware of current affairs, and never took the most critical step. Only then did Ouyang Yun return the favor. Invite him to a meeting of this level.
Chiang Kai-shek should be self-aware of this, so after Ouyang Yun said "zero tolerance", he said: "The Prime Minister is right. Under the current situation, we must be more sincere and united, and we will never allow it to happen again." The phenomenon of rebellion in the nest..."
The purpose of Ouyang Yun's emergency return to Chongqing was, firstly, to prevent pro-American forces from doing things that would please their enemies and to unify the opinions of the central government and make the strongest response to the secret treaty between the United States and Japan.
In the eyes of most people, it is terrible for the United States to suddenly become China's enemy, and it will have an unpredictable impact on China's rise. However, in Ouyang Yun's eyes, this is a matter of both challenges and opportunities. In other words, for him In the eyes of the United States, the United States has always been a potential enemy. Now that this hidden enemy jumps out in advance, it will certainly pose a challenge to China's national security and international status, but it will also give China the opportunity to defeat all enemies in one fell swoop and truly become Asia's chance to dominate.
