Kong Xiangxi, Song Ziwen, Wu Tiecheng, and Dai Li were all busy calling their own men to meet. Soong Mei-ling sat down and asked Liu Yimin to pour water for her, saying that she flew from Chongqing to Hunan, and then from Hunan to here. She ran all night and was hungry.
It's thirsty...
Only then did Liu Yimin realize that Cai Zhong and the others did not let Soong Mei-ling have breakfast. It seems that his comrades really didn't take the dignified Mrs. Jiang seriously, and even the minimum etiquette was spared. Thinking about it again, I can't do it.
Fortunately, Ni Hua didn’t have breakfast either. The girl didn’t see herself picking her up on the dock. She was in a bad mood, so she was forced to keep her from eating until now!
Whether it is political struggle or military struggle, it cannot conceal the glory of human nature. This is a characteristic of Liu Yimin surpassing many people in this era.
Liu Yimin hurriedly called Li Xiaoshuai to go coffee, and then sent someone to drive to the best Western restaurant in the French Concession to buy fresh milk, French bread, steak, and a few more servings, including Kong Xiangxi, Song Ziwen and others, one serving for each of them, and it was low.
He told Li Xiaoshuai to give Ni Hua and Han Qing some and give more milk.
After giving the instructions, Liu Yimin personally gave Soong Mei-ling a cup of tea and said apologetically: "Madam, I'm sorry, I'm negligent and just busy, and I forgot about entertaining you for dinner. If this is spread, it will be a joke.
Now! Come on, have a glass of water first, breakfast will be here soon. I will take time to accompany you to have a French meal at noon."
Soong Mei-ling was indeed a strange woman in the Republic of China. Her charm not only conquered Chiang Kai-shek, but also won the love of Chinese Air Force soldiers. The Americans also admired him very much. Of course, such a woman is not as pure as a piece of white paper.
The same little girl, she has her own pursuit and the skills necessary to achieve her goals. Otherwise, Chiang Kai-shek would not have loved her so much and would never leave her.
Speaking of which, none of the three Song sisters are simple.
Before Liu Yimin traveled through time, China's political life was already very stable. After people calmed down from the hustle and bustle of the Cultural Revolution, they were already looking at historical figures with a rational perspective. Women like Soong Mei-ling who won praise from the world naturally restored history.
Originally, he won the respect of people again. Liu Yimin didn't look at anything else. He only saw that Soong Mei-ling could personally go to the front line to deliver ammunition to the troops during the battle in Wuhan, and encouraged the soldiers to do this, so he respected Soong Mei-ling very much. Although she was Chiang Kai-shek's wife,
He also devoted himself to breaking up himself and Ni Hua.
Looking at Soong Mei-ling wearing a black cheongsam, Liu Yimin suddenly remembered the incident of Soong Mei-ling having an affair with the US envoy Wilkie, which was circulated online. It is now the eve of the Japanese army's attack on Southeast Asia. In less than two months, Japan and the United States will be
If war begins, Wilkie will probably come to China as the special envoy of the US president. I wonder if the mess between Wilkie and Soong Mei-ling will really happen.
When Liu Yimin thought of this, he suddenly felt dirty. Why did he suddenly think of such a thing?
Soong Mei-ling didn't know what Liu Yimin thought. After drinking two sips of tea, she said seriously: "General Liu, when I came, the chairman said you are the most outstanding general in China now. He has a strong sense of overall situation and has a relatively accurate grasp of the war process.
. Chairman Jiang asked me to tell you that it is normal for the Eighth Route Army to evacuate Shanghai, but it is necessary to seize the opportunity to evacuate. It is best to give the Japanese army heading towards Shanghai a head-on attack. It is a severe blow to the Japanese invaders and then evacuate calmly.
The eldest son also said, I want me to tell you the truth. The front line in Changsha this time was very bad. The reason was that we were deceived by the Japanese army and misjudged the direction of the Japanese army's attack in northern Jiangxi. We were caught off guard by the Japanese army in northern Hunan.
The Japanese army had already broken through the second line of defense of Xinyun River before, and it was unstoppable. If it weren't for your leadership to capture Shanghai, Changsha would probably not be able to be saved this time."
This is more realistic, and it is purely a heart-to-heart talk.
Soong Mei-ling held the teacup in her hand, took a sip, and continued, "If you were to evacuate tonight, Shanghai would become an empty city. I am a woman and don't know how to fight, but I
I think Secretary Wu Tiecheng was right just now. Once you retreat, the remaining spies of the Japanese army will definitely find out that the Japanese army will receive information. In this way, the 11th Army that marched to Changsha may not withdraw its troops, and maybe it will still be
It will launch a more fierce attack. The results of the capture of Shanghai will shrink and will not play a role in mobilizing the Japanese army."
This is all the truth. When Liu Yimin heard that the troops in the Third War Zone did not occupy Shanghai, his heart was cold. This was one of the main reasons.
After Soong Mei-ling finished speaking, her beautiful eyes stared at Liu Yimin, full of hope.
Liu Yimin sighed and said, "The Third War Zone should send troops to Shanghai. Chairman Jiang only saw that Shanghai might be surrounded by the Japanese army, but did not see the strong impact of **'s return to Shanghai on the people of Shanghai. Now, this has been said.
It's too late. I guess the Japanese army will launch an air strike on Shanghai soon, and the test of blood and fire will begin. Tonight, the army must retreat. By tomorrow, the Japanese fleet will arrive and block the Yangtze River Estuary. The troops want to
I can't even retreat. I can only fight guerrillas in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Triangle. This place is a water net area, which is not conducive to the movement of the troops and is easy to fall into the Japanese ambush circle. Moreover, once I retreat here, the Japanese army will follow one after another
, The war in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area. If our army wants to establish a foothold in this area, it will not be able to establish a stable base without half a year. Without base, small guerrilla troops are OK. Like our main force, we cannot survive at all and can only become rootless
The duckweed floats back and forth until it is exhausted."
When she heard that Liu Yimin might retreat to Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, and even established a base here, Soong Mei-ling panicked. She just drove Ye Ting and Xiang Ying away, and then Liu Yimin came again. She would be a wolf at the front door and a tiger at the back door. She would never be able to use it.
! Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou are not as good as southern Anhui, but are the traditional center of power, and they cannot tolerate the intervention. Don’t listen to what Liu Yimin said, any unfounded land is just a rootless Ping, which is a lie.
He was guerrilla here. I'm afraid it won't take long before he squeezed out the ** power again. Liu Yimin is much more powerful than Ye Ting and Xiang Ying!
Soong Mei-ling immediately said that the Eighth Route Army could not retreat to the Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou areas, and the Military Commission would have a clear order. The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were in the area north of the Yellow River. Liu Yimin could not resist military orders and government orders, which was to undermine unity and war of resistance.
Liu Yimin spread his hands and made a helpless posture, and stopped talking.
Soong Mei-ling knew that she was trying to force others, and also knew that Liu Yimin could also see Chiang Kai-shek's deep meaning clearly, but she believed in Chiang Kai-shek's words, that Liu Yimin was the most considerate of the overall situation among the generals, and was determined to fight against the war. Therefore, Soong Mei-ling changed the statement,
It is said that since the large army cannot withdraw, can we try to deceive the Japanese army and transfer the 11th Japanese army back to Shanghai. We will gain time for the adjustment and deployment of the Ninth War Zone.
Liu Yimin likes to hear these words, but in fact he is already thinking about this matter.
Just so happened that Li Xiaoshuai and the others had prepared breakfast, and Liu Yimin invited Soong Mei-ling to have a meal. After Soong Mei-ling finished eating, she cleaned her hands and washed up. Only then did Liu Yimin accompany her to see how the meeting between Kong Xiangxi and Soong Ziwen was going on.
This was an emergency meeting, and Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen jointly hosted the meeting. The attendees included Qian Yongming, Zhang Jiayu, Xu Kan, Chen Xing, Zhou Peizhen, Gu Yiqun, and Xu Jizhuang, the four major banks of the Central Committee, China, Transportation and Farmers.
Dai Zhiqian, Zhou Shouliang, Huo Baoshu, Guo Jingkun, Zhao Zhongxuan, Zhang Ye, Dai Mingli, Xu Baiyuan and others.
When Liu Yimin and Soong Mei-ling came in, Kong Xiangxi and Soong Ziwen were sitting in the main seat and eating!
Maybe he was too hungry. The God of Wealth didn't care about the image of these two Chiang Kai-shek's money bags. As soon as the breakfast was delivered in, he interrupted his speech and ate it directly.
Soong Mei-ling swept her beautiful eyes. Seeing Kong Xiangxi's round face covered with breadcrumbs, she burst out laughing. When she laughed, the tense atmosphere in the room eased. Everyone who attended the meeting hurriedly stood up and asked, "Hello, Madam!"
After eating, Kong Xiangxi took out the handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the corner of her mouth, and the bread slag on her face, and laughed at herself: "I didn't expect that my dignified Executive Director would be hungry too! I have to warn Ni Hua that the man she is looking for is not authentic,
He actually made his cousin and his cousin hungry. He had to make good calculations in this account."
Kong Xiangxi has been struggling for so many years, and he is the human spirit among the human spirit. He deliberately created an atmosphere, which is to pull Liu Yimin into the circle of relatives and use family affection to trap Liu Yimin. After all, Shanghai is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and they are
No soldiers or generals, the naked commander. Thinking about Chiang Kai-shek's methods of dealing with the people of the country, Kong Xiangxi knew that no matter how nice it sounded, it was useless. The Eighth Route Army would turn against each other at any time. Chiang Kai-shek owed too much blood debt.
They are the closest and most loyal people of Chiang Kai-shek. Just grab one of them and you can slam it hard. To put it bluntly, the reason why Chiang Kai-shek dared to send his wife and some of them so relied on the fact that he was so relieved that he was relying on the fact that he dared to send his wife and some of them to come so safely.
**Adhere to the unity of the War of Resistance, and also rely on the relationship between Ni Hua and Liu Yimin's wife. If this relationship is not available, I am afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would not have the assets of the four major banks in Shanghai and would not have sent them. Because Chiang Kai-shek himself was destroying the unity of the war of Resistance
, keep suppressing **.
Kong Xiangxi's statement was also telling the people in charge of the four major banks attending the meeting to transfer assets with confidence and be safe.
Liu Yimin didn’t have time to fight Kong Xiangxi, and he didn’t want to fight him, so he quickly asked if he had any arrangements.
Kong Xiangxi said that it had been deployed and the deposits that needed to be redeemed were handed over to the US and British Bank for processing, and all the inventory funds and accounts were transferred. Now there are three things to do. One is to ask the Eighth Route Army to send a security force to be responsible for the transfer to the airport, and arrange vehicles to assist in the transfer.
.Other thing is to ask the wife to urgently meet with the consulate of the British, American and French in Shanghai and ask the concession authorities to let go. The third thing is to provide pensions to the employees who died in the bloody bank battle, and give a special gift of 2,000 yuan, and the injured merchants give a relief
Five hundred yuan.
Liu Yimin immediately called Gaoyuan and ordered a battalion and vehicles to assist the four major banks in transporting assets.
After the arrangements were made here, Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen rushed to the Central Bank to take charge of the command.
The action of the four major banks to withdraw from Shanghai has begun.
Soong Mei-ling and Liu Yimin met with the US Consul General in Shanghai Rohed and the Consul General of Britain and France who had just arrived in the conference room of the China Merchants Building.
Three of the four major banks have moved to the French Concession, and only the central bank is in the public concession controlled by the British and American countries.
Originally, the British and American Consul General in Shanghai had received telegrams from US Ambassador Gao Si and British Ambassador Carl, and should have been prepared to cooperate with the Chinese to evacuate the assets of Shanghai bank. However, what Soong Mei-ling did not expect was that when they met, they would have three suits and laces.
The consul general, dressed like a gentleman, protested in unison.
The consuls of the United States and Britain protested that the Eighth Route Army had forcibly entered the public concession and seized the assets of Japanese banks, factories, shops, and even German banks. The two consuls said that the actions of the Eighth Route Army trampled on the sacred laws and destroyed the public.
The credibility of the concession.
The French consul protested even more fiercely, saying that the Eighth Route Army had openly entered the French Concession where Meiyu Japanese Army was stationed, and threatened the police in the French Concession's police station with force, and publicly arrested Japanese expatriates and staff of the Wang Jingwei government in the French Concession, which affected the order of the French Concession.
Soong Mei-ling glanced at Liu Yimin and said, "General Liu, it seems that you have no right to destroy your relationship with Britain, the United States and France?"
Liu Yimin kept smiling at the three consuls General. When he heard Soong Mei-ling’s inquiry, he hurriedly spoke in English “no, no”.
Liu Yimin's explanation is that China and Japan are now engaged in a death battle that concerns the two countries and the two nations. The Japanese are the enemies, either you die or I live, there is nothing to discuss. Everything about the Japanese is
In the confiscation, let alone banks, the clothes and shoes on the Japanese are all the trophys that should be seized. Our army attacked Shanghai, and even the commander and chief of staff of the 13th Japanese Army were captured.
What are the banks, shops, and factories? That's all nonsense! It's just like the Japanese army wantonly burning down Chinese cities, market towns, villages, and houses on Chinese land. The only thing that the Chinese team cannot defeat the Japanese army.
, if our army defeated the Japanese army in Shanghai, we naturally had to completely confiscate all Japanese assets. As for the Eighth Route Army destroying the law and trampling on the credibility of the public concession, it was nothing. The Eighth Route Army did not rely on force to enter the central area controlled by the British and American governments in the public concession by force, nor did it
The reason for the exchange of fire with the US military is that because the United States and Britain support China's war of resistance, the Eighth Route Army is only willing to make more friends and resist fascism together, and will not destroy the Great Wall itself. Besides, the sovereignty of the public concession belongs to China, and Britain and the United States are just renting it. The Chinese team is
It is natural to arrest and eliminate the intelligence personnel lurking in the concession on your own land. There is no need to discuss it with anyone.
Soong Mei-ling smiled with her lips pursed and was not careful, and the white silk shawl draped on her shoulders slid down.
Dear friends, I have asked for votes out of the blue, please vote for it! (To be continued...)
