Coincidentally, next, both the United States and the Cadet Army made requests to the conference, suggesting that the meeting should be adjourned for one day. So here, Churchill was getting dressed by his servants and wanted to go out. The British Ambassador to Egypt, Fei Whaili, reported to him with a strange expression, It was said that Mr. McIntyre had just called. Since the United States and the Xuebing Army both proposed to adjourn the meeting for one day, the conference decided to continue the meeting tomorrow. [Fly]
"Fuck you!" Churchill was furious and blurted out a British curse.
The British government is preparing to withdraw, and all members of Churchill's cabinet are busy with this matter. Senior officials who can influence him cannot spare the time to accompany him to Cairo. And Churchill is famous for his strength, and Fei Huili, too, Regardless of Wavell, they are nominally members of the delegation, but in fact they are just human figures and cannot influence Churchill at all. From an optimistic point of view, Churchill is acting dictatorially, but to put it another way, Churchill is actually acting alone. Fighting. Churchill originally had no bad feelings about this, but now, when he vaguely felt that the American and American delegations seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, he began to feel that he was alone. National scolding could not solve the problem, and Churchill pulled open his tie vigorously. , and then sat down heavily on the sofa. With a gloomy expression, he took out a cigar, lit it, took a deep breath, and his eyes became more and more sinister.
Fei Huili felt anxious since he received McIntyre's call. At this time, he said cautiously: "Sir, do you think we should invite General Weiweier?"
Fei Huili meant well, but it just hit the sore spot in Churchill's heart. He glared at Fei Huili and shouted: "What are you calling him for? This guy who has failed to achieve anything but fails more than does it, doesn't he think I have been humiliated by my countrymen enough?" ?" He became more and more angry as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder: "If their frontline generals hadn't been afraid of the enemy and avoided fighting, how could we have been so passive?"
Fei Huili stood silently. Churchill got angry and calmed down a little. After thinking for a while, he said to Fei Huili: "Contact the U.S. Embassy and we will visit President Roosevelt later."
Churchill thought that Roosevelt was dissatisfied with his attitude yesterday, so he embarrassed him in a tacit understanding with the people. He was right. Roosevelt and Ouyang Yun had indeed formed a tacit understanding, but they had no intention of showing him any displeasure. Churchill would never have imagined that Roosevelt and Ouyang Yun would not consider the British factor in the war against Japan in the Far East.
At this time, in the telecommunications room of the U.S. Embassy, the beeping sound kept ringing, and McIntyre was presiding over a telecommunications conference with Washington. Telecommunications are not as good as telephones, and there are not one or two people in Washington who can make the decision. This is what Roosevelt needed all day The fundamental reason is time. There have always been conflicts of interest between countries. The so-called friendship and justice were actually written in books by rulers to deceive future generations. For this Cairo Conference, Roosevelt has prepared enough conditions, but After these days of contact, especially because Stilwell jumped out and interfered last night, these conditions are no longer enough. Solving the crisis in Australia is the fundamental reason why Roosevelt initiated the Cairo Conference. As long as this problem can be solved, everything else will be fine. Discuss. It's pity that Churchill, a veteran politician, can't see it through as well as Ouyang Yun, a young man. Therefore, there seems to be a crack in the hardcore alliance between them and the Americans, and now it seems that they have been directly abandoned by the Americans.
Telecommunications were buzzing in the U.S. Embassy. In the residence of the Xuebingjun delegation, the three telegraph machines were working nervously. Due to restrictions on his status, Ouyang Yun did not dare to set a specific goal before he went as an envoy, and he only wanted to accept applications.
Things related to the interests of the Xuebing Army. So when the good news came, they had to make more preparations. Within the Xuebing Army, because Ouyang Yun actually held the military and political power of the Xuebing Army, so
As long as he ensures the correctness of his strategy, he can stick to his word. The problem lies in liaison with the Chongqing government. Some issues need to be recognized at the national level, so he must obtain authorization from the Chongqing government. Of course
Well, this was another round of exchange of interests, even bargaining. Chiang Kai-shek hated Roosevelt for inviting Ouyang Yun to attend the Cairo Conference instead of himself. He even said in private that this was a manifestation of the US government's disrespect for the Chinese government. Its essence
It was of the same nature as the British government bypassing the central government to sign an agreement with the local Tibetan government. So when he first received the report, he rejected it with a harsh word: Niang Xipi, does Ouyang Yunyan still have a central government?
?Ignore him! So in dealing with the Xuebing Army, the Chongqing government not only took the initiative for the first time, but also acted particularly tough. Ouyang Yun was quite disapproving of this. He told Chen Shichang, who was in charge of this matter:
I wrote that it involves two hundred million U.S. dollars in financial aid and American-made equipment for fifty divisions. I dare not make the decision without authorization and ask for approval from the central government.
This telegram was made public in the circle of Chiang Kai-shek's direct relatives, and it immediately caused a cry of exclamation. Two hours later, a shy telegram still half-hidden the hope that Xue Bingjun would come up with more detailed and credible information.
.This time, Chen Shichang did not ask Ouyang Yun for instructions, but directly called back and asked them to confirm it with the US Ambassador to China, Gao Si.
The ball was kicked back to the Americans. McIntyre received the consultation telegram from Gaosi. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the words two hundred million US dollars. Then when he saw the American equipment of the fifty divisions behind him, he was
Taking a breath of cold air, he quickly went to Roosevelt and reported to him: "Mr. President, do you think this is the condition offered by the general of the country? I thought that two hundred million US dollars in financial aid was not a lot, but the equipment of fifty divisions,
Then we would have to cut aid to Soviet Russia."
Roosevelt's view was completely different from his. He looked at the telegram carefully and then said: "If this is really all there is to it, I'd be relieved. But I think this should just be what Ouyang Yun took out to the Chongqing government.
of."
McIntyre was stunned: "Mr. President, what do you mean, the part that the Xuebingjun wants is not included?"
"Yes."
"The Chinese are so greedy," McIntyre muttered.
"It doesn't matter, as long as they can bring our troops in the Philippines and Taiwan to Australia, we are willing to pay double the price!"
The Americans gave an affirmative answer. A group of people in Chongqing were shocked at first, and then some people questioned: Is Ouyang Yun so kind? Others suggested that personnel must be sent for supervision. Their worries seemed to be reasonable.
He was afraid that Ouyang Yun would be greedy or not admit his fault afterwards.
At this time, Chen Bulei gave a suggestion. He believed that the three parties participating in the Cairo meeting will inevitably produce something like a summary contribution. At that time, the central government can threaten it with its veto power. The specific method is that the U.S. government can only cash in the money.
The central government will recognize it only if it provides assistance and equipment.
Chiang Kai-shek listened to this suggestion and ordered the people below to handle it accordingly. So, at about seven o'clock that night, a shortened version of the appointment message was finally sent to Cairo, and Ouyang Yunguo's identity as the head of the delegation was finally confirmed.
Got official confirmation.
