Nagai Matsumi left in disappointment, and the tranquility of Hull's office was restored.
Ni Hua was so angry that his hands and feet were trembling. He sat down and rested for a while before his mood calmed down, and then he began to talk to Hull.
Ni Hua took the manuscript of the British-Japanese Arita-Clachi Agreement from Hu Shi, handed it to Hull, and said softly: "Mr. Hull, the purpose of the *** people is very clear, it is to force him. The UK bowed its head and made concessions. The Chinese government analyzed that the UK is currently focusing on Europe and is busy negotiating with Germany, Poland and the Soviet Union, and has no strength to compete with the ***. According to the current development trend, the UK and Japan are in the second round The negotiations will inevitably involve the issue of prohibiting the circulation of my country's fiat currency in the concession. If there is no strong force interfering in this matter and preventing the UK from further compromising and concessions, the foreign trade and financial business of our government in the concession will be completely lost. , suffering major losses, the situation of the War of Resistance will become increasingly difficult. Once China's anti-Japanese war is in trouble, the main force of the Japanese army will go north to attack the Soviet Union or south to attack Southeast Asia, sweeping over the British and American forces in Southeast Asia. That way, for the entire East Asia, it will be the same There is a huge disaster. Therefore, our government urges the US government to take tough actions to stop the UK from further compromise with the US, impose economic sanctions on the US, and prevent the situation from worsening further."
Before leaving Shuanggou, Liu Yimin carefully explained the future direction of the war to Ni Hua, analyzed to her what situations might happen after she arrived in the United States and what countermeasures should be taken. In addition to the fact that she did not expect to give a speech in the Senate, other things were also
There is really no circle of Liu Yimin's paintings. Whenever Ni Hua thinks of this, he feels proud. Think about it, no matter which Liu Yimin is, he is the leader of this era. And this excellent man is his husband, and Ni Hua can't think of it.
No pride can do it!
After Ni Hua finished speaking, Hull did not answer immediately, but instead kept playing with the pen in his hand.
In fact, since President Roosevelt learned from the US ambassador to Japan in 1933 that the *** military power was strong and regarded the United States as an imaginary enemy behind, the United States has always been wary of ***. However, American isolationist ideas in the 20s and 1930s
It is prevalent that the United States does not have to pay attention to things outside the American continent, does not have to be involved in European disputes, and does not have to be involved in European wars. The reason for the proliferation of isolationist thoughts is fundamentally an unprecedented and serious economic crisis that has caused Americans to feel fear.
If you can't handle your own affairs well, how can you control others' life or death? The United States has a unique geographical location and is far away from the old continent. Instead of focusing on Europe, it is better to pay attention to domestic employment issues and economic revival. The reality of supporting isolationism is that the United States refuses
After Wilson's "internationalism", he still achieved unprecedented economic prosperity in the 1920s and had a series of diplomatic successes. Therefore, not only were newspapers and radio frequently promoted, but even members of Congress insisted that the United States ignored European affairs and could also play a role in a great power.
The role of protecting American interests. Some pro-Nazi consortiums did not dare to reveal their true colors, which fueled isolationism and helped Hitler develop and expand. The result of the prevalence of isolationism was that countries that did not pay war debts in 1934 were not allowed to
Johnson Act, which borrowed money in the United States, then rejected the bill to participate in the International Tribunal, and passed the neutral bill on August 31, 1935. President Roosevelt was constrained by isolationism during his first term and had to publicly state: Don't do it, too
The United States should not be dragged into political debates in Europe or anywhere.
After Roosevelt was re-elected as president in January 1937, due to the rapid changes in the international situation and the danger of war increased, the United States' interests in various places were challenged. Roosevelt began to challenge isolationism, believing that only by uniting other democratic forces in the world could the conflict be stopped, which also made the United States
The only way to avoid war.
***After the full invasion of China, Ni Hua held a press conference in New York to expose the atrocities of the Japanese army, and finally awakened some American people, and the isolationist sentiment disappeared a lot. After Nazi Germany destroyed the Czech Republic, the American progressive forces began to pick up internationalism.
Fight against isolationism. In the spring and summer of this year, the internationalist factions in Congress proposed to amend neutral legislation and had a fierce debate with isolationism. Unfortunately, isolationism still prevailed this time, and neutral legislation was not revised.
Ni Hua came to the United States this time. The press conference held was successful and he gave a speech in the Senate. This was a great boost to the United States' progressive power and also a boost to Roosevelt's military expansion and preparation for war.
Hull didn't speak for a long time, but was actually thinking about Ni Hua's words seriously, thinking whether it was really time to attack the *** people.
Hull didn't speak, and Hu Shi and Marshall were extremely anxious because the Secretary of State was the main maker and executor of foreign relations policy. To a certain extent, the Secretary of State had a significant impact on the president's foreign policy.
Marshall is a soldier and the deputy minister of the Department of the Army. Seeing that the United States' interests in China have been repeatedly violated by people, the fire in his heart has long been very strong. Seeing Hull playing deep, Marshall couldn't help but say: "Mr. Secretary of State
, sit and watch the continuous expansion of aggression, which is inconsistent with the interests of the United States. The United States should not leave China or Southeast Asia. It is a shame for the US military to not defend the interests of the United States in China and defend the interests of the United States in the Pacific and Southeast Asia. Please ask the Secretary of State to meet with the President as soon as possible
commerce, sanctions***.”
Hu Shi was much more anxious than Marshall, and took a step forward and said earnestly: "His Excellency Secretary of State, the reason why our government asked your country to stop the further compromise between Britain and *** and sanctions *** is because looking at the world today, there is only
Your country can do this. Dr. Ni Hua just made the truth very clear. If our country is unable to support the War of Resistance, the power of *** will inevitably rise sharply, and then the evil consequences caused by Britain and France's appeasement against Germany will appear again. Please ask the Secretary of State
Think twice.”
Hu Shi and Marshall are anxious, which does not mean that Ni Hua and Hull are anxious. Ni Hua has a clear mind. Americans will inevitably punish sanctions. This is what Liu Yimin told him. Liu Yimin also said that although the United States is now isolated and conservative,
Pacifism prevails, but it does not mean that parliamentarians and capital monopoly groups who advocate isolationism do not want to join the war. Americans have gained a lot from World War I, and they will not miss the opportunity of World War II. Without a war,
Who are the arms of the United States sold to? Without a war, how can the United States achieve further rise? Therefore, Americans want to control the rhythm of war. When to fight and to what extent they fight, they all want to decide. When to join the war
The biggest benefit is what the US monopoly groups care about. Including neutral legislation, it was also created to gain time for the United States to expand its military preparations. In the future, the United States will amend neutral legislation and introduce a lease law, first selling weapons for other countries to fight
Then, when other countries are renting weapons, they will fight, and finally when other countries are exhausted, Americans will naturally go barefoot and maximize political, military and economic interests.
Finally, Liu Yimin told Ni Hua: "Without the neutral legislation of the United States, there would be no appeasement policy between Britain and France; without the US, there would be no ***, Germany's expansion ambitions. Of course, the result of appeasement and neutrality is that they themselves
To pay the price of bleeding, shoot yourself in the foot. When dealing with Americans, don’t panic or busy, and make sure to keep their pulse. Americans must control the war with their will. Our goal is to drag them up early
Going into the water will reduce the losses of our people and win the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan as soon as possible. Therefore, there is no need to worry that the United States will not aid China. It is only a matter of time before it can be done. Once they realize China's role, what are the aircraft, cannons, and what are the needs of
What, you are trying hard to do. The Americans' abacus is so good that they will give it. Besides, President Roosevelt is one of the greatest presidents in American history and has a sense of justice. Most Americans also sympathize with them.
China, support China. These just forces will promote the United States to provide selfless assistance to China."
Although Ni Hua is not a strategist or diplomat, she is a doctoral student with high comprehensive quality and a little bit of it. Liu Yimin's analysis and judgment are reasonable, and she knew in her heart that it was actually that. Now, as soon as Marshall spoke, Ni Hua immediately
I knew that Liu Yimin was right, and the US military wanted to fight! I became more and more confident in my heart.
Hull was not anxious. It was necessary to sanction *** and delay the pace of aggression. The question now is how much sanctions should be, and it cannot stimulate the *** people to jump over the wall. The United States is not ready yet, so it takes time
.
Seeing that Marshall and Hu Shi couldn't hold it anymore, Hur said, "My friend, don't be impatient. Isn't there an old saying in China that you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient? You have to make a clue about things!
”
After saying that, Hull was about to call Roosevelt. Put down the phone, Hull asked Marshall, Ni Hua and Hu Shi to accompany him to see the President and report in person.
When Ni Hua and his party met President Roosevelt, His Excellency the President was wearing a navy shirt and was enthusiastically discussing what issues with several think tanks.
When he saw Ni Hua, President Roosevelt reached out his hand on the chair and said with a smile: "Haha, Fairy Oriental is here to visit me again, welcome, welcome!"
After Ni Hua said hello, he said to President Roosevelt again what he said to Hull. After hearing this, President Roosevelt said softly: "*** people can't wait!"
After saying that, Roosevelt said to Hull: "Do you need to give someone a warning?"
Hull nodded, his tone a little solemn: "Mr. President, Dr. Ni Hua is right. The British seem to be unable to care about their interests in China. If we do not take measures, the negotiations between the UK and Japan are likely to be one-sided.
The situation. People's appetite will grow bigger and bigger."
Roosevelt remained silent after hearing this.
At this time, a Republican congressman here spoke: "Mr. President, I still stick to my point of view. The United States does not need to be involved in wars, neither European disputes nor Asian disputes.
Whether it is Chinese or Korean, their disputes are all for the leadership of yellow people and have nothing to do with America.”
After all, Ni Hua is a young woman. When he heard this gentleman's words, he couldn't help but retort: "I don't agree with this gentleman's words. Justice and evil are not distinguished by race.
According to what this gentleman said, *** invading North Korea, China can be said to be a yellow race for leadership within the country, so how should the American War of Independence be defined? How should the First World War be defined? We can't say that
World War I was a killing of white people, right?”
The MP was speechless.
After a moment, the congressman reacted and was not polite, and said directly to Ni Hua: "Dr. Ni Hua, I have read the report of your press conference and listened to your speech. You said **
*I believe in people's atrocities. I sympathize with the Chinese people. But have you ever thought that instigating the United States to impose economic sanctions on *** will drag the United States into the abyss of war and will make the American young man bleed and sacrifice.
”
Ni Hua has been educated in the United States since childhood and has never feared challenges. This can be seen from her performance when she and Liu Yimin fell in love.
Ni Hua retorted again: "Sir, I feel that your logic is not working. The sanctions are to curb their ambitions and to allow the United States to avoid war. How can you think that it will drag the United States into the abyss of war
What? Have you ever thought about it? It was because of the Japanese and American business agreement that the *** was constantly obtaining aircraft, ships, steel, oil, rubber, copper and other strategic materials from the United States. The *** people built it with these things.
Huge war machine. What the United States makes money from trade with Japan, what the Chinese suffer from trade with Japan and the United States is invaded and millions of people, and the lives of tens of millions of people disappear. You keep worrying about dragging the United States
When we enter the war, we are afraid that the American boy will sacrifice. Is the life of us Chinese not life? Should we be born to be victims of the US-Japan trade?"
Ni Hua did not give the congressman a chance to refute, and his cherry lips were lightly opened, and his big and small beads fell on the jade plate: "As a politician in a democratic country, the most basic requirement is to obey public opinion. Putting aside what I just said, take American public opinion
According to the US poll in June, 74% of people sympathized with China and 2% of people sympathized with the ***. 66% of people agreed not to buy Japanese goods and 34% of people opposed it. 72 military supplies were approved by the embargo on Japan.
%, 28%. Sir, do you think the US government can go against public opinion?”
Hu Shi applauded in his heart, his eyes were full of praise, and he also admired Liu Yimin, whom he had never met. His wife was so capable, could her husband Hua be worse? Chinese people often say that if they want to sleep with their master, 80% Ni Hua said.
It was taught by Liu Yimin. It was thousands of miles away that he could handle things to such an extent. Liu Yimin really looks like a peerless Chinese general!
After a moment of pause, I might feel that my words were too excited, which made everyone present unable to get out of the Taiwan Strait. Ni Hua reached out and stroked his hair, eased his tone, and said in a man's voice: "Mr. President, when I came, mine
My husband General Liu Yimin asked me to tell the President and the American people that we should have a long-term vision of things. Our country is in danger now and needs the United States to lend a helping hand. However, without the assistance of the United States, we can still win the war of resistance.
, but the time may be longer, more people may die, and the losses will be greater. But we are not afraid, we have a population of 400 million and more than 10 million square kilometers of land, and the number of people will be killed.
Not only us, the end of the war must end with our victory. This can be seen from the brilliant achievements of our Eighth Route Army. Once we win the victory of the war and establish a new China, our country will have the largest population in the world.
Countries that are ineffective will become the world's largest market, the largest importer, the largest world factory, and the largest exporter, and will occupy an important position in the world. At that time, our government and people will inevitably think of it during the war period.
We have helped our friends. Of course, we will not forget those who watch the fire from the other side of the river, those who take the blame, those who keep indifferent, those who support our enemies. We will not forget them!"
Ni Hua originally wanted to speak in a calm tone, but as he spoke, he became excited again, his pretty face turned red, and his eyes were filled with tears.
At this time, there is no concept of world market or world factory. Fortunately, these people are outstanding people, and they understand Ni Hua's meaning as soon as they hear it.
Everyone in the room was startled!
After a while, Roosevelt asked Ni Hua to go to Mrs. Eleanor first, saying that the wife wanted to talk to Ni Hua about the construction of child care institutions in China.
After Ni Hua and Hu Shi left, President Roosevelt remained silent for another day. After about ten minutes of silence in the room, Roosevelt said lightly: "Ni Hua is just a messenger, what she said must have been taught by others. Chiang Kai-shek did not
If you have this kind of mind and demeanor, you will not make China like this. The CCP is not simple, it is hidden and lies in the tiger!"
No one answered the President's words, and no one woke up from the shock.
On July 26, US Secretary of State Cordel Hull issued a statement on the UK-Japan Arita-Clachi Agreement, saying that "if the actions that are not deliberate continue, some serious incident will inevitably occur."
Without waiting for the reaction of the *** government, on July 27, US Secretary of State Corder Hull urgently summoned *** Ambassador to the United States Matsuzo Nagai and informed the United States of America in person that the United States decided to abolish the "Japan-US Trade and Navigation Treaty" and six
Execute after month.
Due to the change in the attitude of the United States, the attitude of the British ambassador to Japan at the negotiating table changed immediately, and the negotiations between the British and Japanese on the concession issue fell into a deadlock.
In early August, the US Ambassador to China, Jansen was ordered to notify the Republic of China government that the US government decided to purchase 25 million US dollars in six batches from July 1937 to July 1938.
US dollar, Chinese silver, and the US government decided to increase capital for the Export-Import Bank and lend the Chinese government an additional loan of $25 million to the tung oil, with an annual interest of 4%, to use the Chinese government to purchase industrial and agricultural products from the United States.
Ni Hua was excited and sent a newspaper to Liu Yimin again, reporting in detail the achievements made after going to the United States, expressing his longing for him, and asking Liu Yimin to instruct the transportation methods and routes for purchasing materials in the United States.
At this time, Liu Yimin had just arrived at Yushan from the Anti-Japanese Mountain Martyrs Cemetery and was preparing to launch a retaliatory attack on the Japanese army!
