"You are as young as the legend," Mrs. Jiang said in her first sentence. Fei
Song Zi leaned over and said, "I thought the same thing when I first met him in Guangzhou. Third sister, do you think the Xuebing Army will cooperate with our visit to the United States?"
"What? Don't you have any confidence? You were the first to discuss this matter with Xuebingjun."
"Have you noticed the attitude of the Americans? Especially the old man MacArthur. I can see that this man is very arrogant, but when he talks to Ouyang Yun, he seems very respectful."
"Son, I think your husband did something wrong."
"Um?"
"A talent like Ouyang Yun should be roped in as early as possible. I heard that he is very close to Lin Sen and Feng Yuxiang?"
"There has been relatively little contact in the past two years. According to my observation, Ouyang Yun's ambitions should not be in the center."
"How to say?"
"I have stayed in Guangzhou longer than you. According to my observation, if the Xuebing Army was willing to take the initiative, it should be able to regain the area south of the Yangtze River and rely on the Yangtze River to confront the Japanese army. But he did not do so."
"Son, you are wrong. This is Ouyang Yun's shrewdness. Just imagine, if he really sends troops to regain the area south of the Yangtze River, will the Japanese still tolerate him becoming powerful? If the Japanese gather their forces
Attacking the Xuebing Army, do you think they can hold it?"
"Maybe. But when it comes to the Japanese army gathering troops to attack the student army, it's not like the Japanese have never tried it. Unfortunately, they failed in the end."
"I heard that Ouyang Yun is not married yet?"
"Third Sister, why do you suddenly care about this?"
"I was wondering if there is a possibility of marriage."
Song Zi smiled bitterly: "It's unlikely, Third Sister, even if we want to get married, it's already too late. Moreover, Ouyang Yun has no shortage of women at all. You have already seen Pan Mei, Chen Jiayao and Bai Liusu, who are not stunning beauties.
We will also see Gu Lianyun in the United States. It is said that he is very beautiful and is a good player in politics and economics. Hey, put it this way, I find that Ouyang Yun is very popular with women."
…
At the same time, MacArthur and Hatton were talking about Ouyang Yun. They were in different fields, and the focus of their discussion was also different. As early as the Philippines, MacArthur had already learned from Guo Kui the tyranny of cadet soldiers. As Guo Kui,
The highest military officer of the Xuebing Army in the Philippines must rely on someone to rely on the tyranny of the Xuebing Army. MacArthur, Hatton and others did not know the background of the Xuebing Army before, so they only interpreted Guo Kui's tyranny as a lack of education.
It was a personal factor. When they were rescued by Langya and joined Guangzhou's group, they realized that Guo Kui had reasons for his tyranny. The country may be lagging behind in general, but the Xuebing Army has caught up with the world.
Exchanges at the national level are so realistic and cruel. If you are inferior to others, you can only beg for mercy and keep a low profile. The growth of the Xuebing Army is outside the sight of Americans. For Americans, the Xuebing Army is like a bird dormant in a well.
The little wild thing at the bottom usually made a cry, but at best it could only show its existence. But when the storm happened and the little wild thing jumped out, people discovered that it was actually a giant dragon.
The Xuebing Army has been able to grow to its current size, of course, because of Ouyang Yun. Ouyang Yun's identity as a time traveler is no longer a secret. Although there is no reasonable explanation for the term "traveler" in the scientific community today, as long as there is a little
It is not difficult for anyone with some brains to discover that it is precisely because of the existence of "travelers" that Xuebingjun is at the forefront of the world in many aspects. Seeing this, the sudden rise of Xuebingjun seems not difficult to understand.
.
MacArthur, who had received instructions from Washington, was looking forward to this meeting in Karachi. The destruction of the U.S. Pacific Fleet disrupted all preparations for the Far East War. Having lost control of the Pacific, the Americans
Management in the Far East has become disjointed. If the Japanese are allowed to occupy the traditional sphere of influence in Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States for two years, what kind of monster will Japanese militarism grow into, and what harm will it bring to the United States?
This is something Americans are not willing to speculate about. Are they going to give up on the Far East? You can think about this idea in your heart, but absolutely no one dares to bring it up in public. Increase troops and expand armaments? Distant water cannot save nearby fire, and the British
With no hope, the importance of the Chongqing government and the Xuebing Army suddenly became apparent. Originally, the Xuebing Army was the best partner of the United States in the Far East. Unfortunately, this partner was a bit disobedient and did not play the role of a good little brother honestly.
That's all, Long Wangshu actually wants to be the boss, which is naturally something the Americans are not happy to see. It is true that the United States needs allies in the Far East, but this ally should be a controllable little brother type - this point, although Roosevelt and
Marshall, General King and others did not say it explicitly, but it was tacitly understood.
Since the student army is difficult to control, then we should focus on supporting the Chongqing government. It just so happens that Chiang Kai-shek is eagerly looking forward to financial aid from the United States. If money can be used to prevent more American young men from losing their lives, and can suppress the student army quietly
The army, which laid the foundation for the future direction of the country, seemed to Washington to be a good deal. Washington was already ready to welcome Mrs. Chiang’s visit and then completely change its Far East strategy. At this time, MacArthur was captured by the Japanese
The man was captured alive. Washington had already made a gesture of sacrifice by asking the cadet army to help rescue MacArthur. However, given that there are still tens of thousands of American young men struggling in prisoner-of-war camps on Luzon Island, or they may be in danger of destruction.
, this gesture of sacrifice seems far from enough.
The situation in the Far East has developed to this stage. Although no one in the United States has asked questions, Roosevelt, Marshall, including General King, this is related to their misjudgment of the direction of the situation in the Far East and the strength of all parties.
As the saying goes, one careless move will lead to losing everything. At the critical moment when Mrs. Chiang is about to visit the United States, how should Washington handle its relationship with the Xuebing Army and the Chongqing government?
If the United States continues to rely on the Xuebing Army, it will inevitably sacrifice certain interests in the Far East. If it instead supports the Chongqing government, it is difficult to say whether the Xuebing Army will cut down on wages and directly ignore the American soldiers on Luzon Island and go on its own.
When the Xuebing Army built an ocean-going fleet in the United States, nine out of ten Americans who had access to the news sneered at it and dismissed it. The ocean-going fleet is not a toy. Not everyone can play with it, and not everyone can play with it.
Affordable. With the mentality of waiting to see a joke, the Americans watched the aircraft carriers Yandi and Huangdi leave the west coast and sail all the way into the North Pacific. During the chat after dinner, many American dignitaries began to bet on how long this fleet could survive.
One month or two months. And underground casinos in major cities in the United States are betting on whether this fleet can successfully reach its destination.
The aircraft carriers Yandi and Huangdi were still floating in the ocean. The pride of the United States, the Pacific Fleet with more than a hundred battleships, was destroyed first. Only at this time did some senior officials in Washington realize that the Yandi and Huangdi were separated.
The timing of his departure was such a coincidence that some people thought of Ouyang Yun's identity as a "traveler". When the Xuebing Army officially showed off the flag of the Pacific Fleet, Americans suddenly realized that they began to face the Xuebing Army for the first time, and as
More things about the Xuebingjun surfaced, and Americans became confused.
