On March 11, a telegram issued in the name of the Xuebing Military Special Administrative Region Government regarding Ouyang Yun's participation in the Cairo Conference at the invitation of U.S. President Roosevelt caused an uproar in the rear. The Chongqing government's mouthpiece "Central Daily News" first published Chen Guofu's editorial, saying
The Xuebing Army's move was an act that would split the country and destroy the good situation of the United War of Resistance, which was harmful to the country and the people - "... the country has only one legal government, and that is the Chongqing central government. As a local government, the Xuebing Army Special Administrative Region Government has no
Independent diplomatic power. Where does the Xuebingjun’s move place the central government? How is it different from the Wang Puppet Government in Nanjing..."
Gu Lianyun's words are true to his prophecy - if the "Central Daily News" is still worried about damaging relations with the United States and only denounces Xue Bingjun and Ouyang Yun, local newspapers such as "Ta Kung Pao" are blunt and directly expose that the Western powers are determined to subjugate the country.
, they have never regarded the country as a true ally. They are unwilling to see the reunification of the country. They invite a local government head to participate in an international conference with sinister intentions. They call on Xuebingjun and Ouyang Yun to reject such an invitation that is not in line with diplomatic principles.
, to maintain the administrative unity of the country.
There were more and more telegrams coming from Guangzhou. Ouyang Yun had originally decided to leave for Cairo on the 13th, but now he had to temporarily cancel this plan due to the pressure of strong domestic public opinion.
"Send a telegram again, stating that we will do our best to safeguard national interests at the Cairo Conference. Also, disclose the fact that the expeditionary force is composed entirely of the Cadet Army and the Northeast Army, and bring in Marshal Zhang; send an invitation again, and say that we lack the spirit.
Officials who are good at foreign affairs hope to get guidance from seniors in this field..." Gu Lianyun gave this response after thinking about it.
While calling the response, Ouyang Yun also ordered the media under the Xuebing Army to discuss the participation of local leaders in international conferences, implicitly pointing out the importance of participating in the Cairo Conference.
In this way, it was not until the 15th that Ouyang Yun led a team of more than a hundred people to board the three overhead fortresses, and then flew to Cairo under the escort of five Baijis that took off from the Yandi aircraft carrier.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon that day, Ouyang Yun walked down the ramp of the empty fortress and landed on Egyptian soil. At this time, Egypt was an independent country in name, but in fact many affairs were controlled by the British government. The most specific symptom is that
, the person responsible for the security work in Cairo at this time was actually the security force of British Prime Minister Churchill.
There was no red carpet, no flowers, no welcoming crowd. There were only two cars and a few Westerners in suits waiting at the airport. Ouyang Yun's entourage, Liu Kui and You Xiaolian, each brought a row of Langya and Niangziyun.
The guards were responsible for security work; Gu Lianyun and Lu Hanni served as secretaries and translators; behind them were the staff group headed by Chen Shichang and Jiang Huangyong and the press group headed by Guo Jianxiang. The British man who came to greet him was Lu Gesen
As arranged by an employee of the Cairo office of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, Liu Kui followed Ouyang Yun, Gu Lianyun, and Lu Hanni off the plane. He stood at the door of the cabin and glanced at it, his face darkened, and he shouted: "Americans and British
Don't people call themselves wise people? They don't understand any diplomatic etiquette." Liu Kui's eyes were very poisonous, and he instantly recognized that those Westerners were not of high official rank, so he said this.
Ouyang Yun remained calm on his face, but in his heart he thought: Is this a show of force? Then he couldn't help but ignite his fighting spirit. "Face is earned by oneself. It's not out of inner respect. It's okay if you don't want it," he said to Liu Kui.
The identity of the Westerners was quickly confirmed. China has not established diplomatic relations with Egypt, so there is no diplomatic venue such as an embassy in Egypt. But so many people must have a place to live. Roosevelt once proposed that the U.S. Embassy in Egypt
came to arrange it, but after Lu Hanni heard about it, Ouyang Yun refused and volunteered to take over the task. The person in charge of the Cairo office of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company is named Brown. He is less than forty years old and is very capable. He
At first, he didn't take this reception seriously. He only treated it with caution because of Lugeson's repeated instructions. However, when he saw Liu Kui and the several wolf fangs behind him, he changed his somewhat indifferent demeanor.
, suddenly became enthusiastic.
Brown rented two large yards for the Xuebingjun delegation next to the Cairo office of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. Ouyang Yun, Gu Lianyun and others got in the car, but others could not, and the group headed to the airport gate in a mighty manner.
We walked there and finally saw the American diplomats waiting here.
Ouyang Yun didn't know that when his plane was still two hours away from Cairo Airport, Roosevelt and Churchill had a quarrel over whether to send someone to pick him up. The Japanese troops landed in Australia, which put pressure on the U.S. government.
The importance of Australia is self-evident. Once Australia is captured by the Japanese army, the many islands of the United States in the South Pacific will no longer be safe. And once the Japanese army captures all these islands, they will be able to form a line and no longer need to
Worrying about logistical support issues, they have the conditions to directly send troops to attack the United States - something the Americans absolutely do not want to see. Australia was originally a British colony, but as Britain's demand for American aid supplies increases,
, Churchill acquiesced to the Americans' control of Australia. The direction of the Japanese attack shifted to Australia, and Burma and India became safer. It coincided with Germany intensifying its attack on the British mainland, and the English Channel barrier became less and less effective. The British government
Some people took precautions and suggested moving the government to the East or India in order to persist in the resistance. When the Chinese Expeditionary Force entered the Southern Peninsula, Churchill was worried that it would be easier to invite gods than to send them away. However, the Japanese offensive was too fierce at that time, and the British army was completely defeated. He felt that it would be difficult to send gods away.
It was also a good choice for the Chinese to act as cannon fodder, so they gritted their teeth and accepted it. At this moment, there has been no major war in the southern peninsula for several months. On the contrary, the Chinese people's control over Myanmar has become stronger and stronger.
Churchill could no longer sit still after considering that his country had been the traditional suzerainty of Myanmar. Both the United States and the United Kingdom had mainstream media reporters based in Chongqing, so anything that happened in the country could not escape the eyes of the British and American decision-makers. When people asked Ouyang
When Yun Xiaye's voice reached Churchill, he felt that this was an excellent opportunity to solve the Burmese problem, so he called Roosevelt and believed that an overly powerful country was not in line with the interests of Britain and the United States in the Far East. He suggested that the Cairo Conference be used to solve this hidden danger.
The specific measures are to establish the Allied Pacific Naval Command in Australia, with the Commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Admiral King, as the overall commander, to uniformly command the Allied maritime forces to fight against Japan; to establish the Allied Southeast Asia Army Command in Myanmar,
Stilwell, who was familiar with domestic affairs, served as the commander-in-chief and unified the Allied land forces to launch a counterattack against Japan to relieve the pressure faced by Australia. Churchill knew that Britain was now a lean camel with only airs left, so he expressed his displeasure with the trainees.
The military could no longer act as a deterrent, so he deliberately tried to attract the United States. And the conditions he offered really made Roosevelt very tempted. So, when Ouyang Yun arrived late, Churchill decided whether to send enough people to pick him up.
He suggested that he should be treated coldly so that the Chinese people could understand his position. Based on his understanding of Xuebingjun and Ouyang Yun, Roosevelt was worried that it would be counterproductive, so after a heated debate, Roosevelt finally gave in and did not let White House Director McIntyre go to pick him up.
Instead, the U.S. ambassador to Egypt sent two diplomats.
