Chapter 339 Expedition, expedition
For Chiang Kai-shek, no matter what point he considered, Chiang Kai-shek decided to make every effort to promote this matter. After all, all the victory achieved by the Chinese Expeditionary Force as the armed force of the Chinese National Government is inseparable from his strategist chairman.
Far from across the Atlantic Ocean, Roosevelt was undergoing physical examinations by a private doctor Morris when he received a telegram from Chiang Kai-shek. Roosevelt knew that he had not had much time to go, but the German army was raging Europe at the moment. Although the Japanese army suffered a heavy blow in the Pacific, it was too early to win the decisive victory. The bloody battle in the Guadalcanal Islands made Roosevelt feel scared of the frequent Pacific island landing wars in the future.
The blood of young Americans can flow and shed in order to maintain the power and obligations of the free world, but this flow and shed are limited. The ability of the American people to bear determines how much blood can flow and how many American youths can sacrifice. Victory requires sacrifice as sacrifice. The power to contribute the sacrifice is in one's own hands. Roosevelt, who has realized that his life is not much, attaches more importance to life.
Roosevelt repeatedly compared India with China, but Chiang Kai-shek's proposal did not make him very moved. It was obvious that the US government was trying its best to solve the Japanese problem and then concentrated its efforts to make a strategic counterattack in Europe, Germany, and defeating Japan as soon as possible, forming a large siege of Germany from a global strategic perspective. Chiang Kai-shek mentioned that the Chinese Expeditionary Force used Kolkata, India as a material, training and transportation base, and joined the Pacific battlefield, which made him very moved. What made him even more moved was that President Chiang Kai-shek expressed his desire to send troops to the European battlefield when the time was mature again.
On one hand, there is the interests of the British Indian interests, and on the other hand, the Chinese government's wishes, who exchanged the Chinese government's most elite expeditionary force for the cost of 20 billion US dollars to immediately join the Pacific battlefield. When it comes to the continuous training of the Chinese expeditionary force, after receiving American weapons, and with the full support of the US Navy and Air Force, the strong support of the US Navy and Air Force, and then the army will join the European army, what kind of variable will the European war bring?
This beautiful front made Roosevelt excited! But Roosevelt knew that the first thing he had to do was to convince the mean fat man Churchill in London that India was the last strategic colony of the British Empire. It was obvious that the British had also realized that it was difficult for them to restore their rule to the pre-war level after passing through the battlefield. For this era of increasing progress and themes of democracy, freedom and peace, the civilians have lost the overall environment and meaning of their existence.
If a nation wants to enslave another nation, or if a country wants to oppress another country, the methods it adopts must be changed, and the times are progressing and the old ways will surely be eliminated just like the times.
Roosevelt described his views in a telegram to Jill. Just like speaking in front of the furnace, Roosevelt used a discussion method and feeling to discuss something irrelevant to Churchill. Roosevelt's tone made it difficult for Churchill to refuse, and what made Churchill helpless was that he could not assemble a considerable number of army troops to India to fight against the Japanese army for a period of time, and this was also inverted by the strategy of first Europe and then Asia that Britain had always advocated.
In Churchill's view, Roosevelt's discussion seemed to be a disguised blackmailing British interests in exchange for the Chinese government's dispatch of troops, and to replace the US military with the Chinese Expeditionary Force to carry out the battle for the Pacific islands. If this is the case, the Chinese Expeditionary Force will inevitably enter India and the United States to carry out armed and train with the full support of the United States. How should the British government deal with such a well-equipped and powerful army after the war?
I thought the time difference was midnight, and Churchill, who was destined to sleepless tonight, lit a cigar for himself and took a deep breath. The whole of Myanmar and half of India became China's back garden after the war. He absolutely did not want to see or accept it.
But the direction and position of the United States seem to have begun to change and shake. Just as Roosevelt said, giving up the visible and visible things in front of him to fight for the expected future and using India to exchange for the second chance of the British Empire’s rise!
Churchill wrung the cigar into the ashtray. Even if the Chinese Expeditionary Force entered India and occupied it, he had hundreds of ways to get the Chinese to pack up their gifts and get out of India. It is still unclear who will win!
In the early morning, Churchill replied to Roosevelt, saying: "It takes time to discuss the details of the proposal that the Chinese Expeditionary Force will be responsible for India's defense. The Chinese Expeditionary Force entering India must be directly commanded by the highest military commander of Southeast Asia of the allies.
As the headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in India, there is an indefinite statement for temporary leases for the British government. That is, in Kolkata and all the Indian land and minerals occupied by the Chinese Expeditionary Force should be regarded as property of the British government. The cities, bases, etc. that the Chinese Expeditionary Force leased in India should not enjoy the consular ruling rights within the law of the concession."
After receiving a call from Churchill, Roosevelt breathed a long sigh of relief. As for Churchill's so-called key points of the local garrison, in Roosevelt's view, it was just the last efforts made by the British to maintain the so-called face. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese expeditionary forces entered India. What can be restrained by a single agreement? In particular, the Chinese generals have always been not very friendly to the British side. Song Yuhang, who has been embarrassed and defeated many times.
Roosevelt even looked forward to this, he had always been optimistic about the Chinese general Song Yuhang entering India. When he thought of Song Yuhang's unpredictable tactics and strategic arrangements, he believed that it was not just the Japanese who were messing around.
Roosevelt's call back made Chiang Kai-shek relieved. Sending Song Yuhang to fight overseas was undoubtedly the most ideal approach. Chiang Kai-shek has always been worried that the strategic expedition of the Chinese Expeditionary Force to send troops to the Pacific could not be exchanged for US support and compromise with Britain. Now, Roosevelt gave the call back only less than twenty hours apart. Judging from the situation where he had been worried before, his previous concerns were completely over-thinking, and it was obvious that the Americans were more anxious than him.
Regarding the Chinese Expeditionary Force entrenched in Myanmar and southeastern India, which can quickly accept U.S. aid weapons and materials, and on the other hand, it can plunder local resources and minerals. It has already received about 20 billion US dollars of precious metals, gems, and various ores and materials. Chiang Kai-shek felt that it was a wise choice to give Song Yuhang the important task on a whim. He originally thought that he would give the important task to a playboy who was not a professional student, which greatly stimulated his generals, so that he could know his shame and then be brave. As a result, the playboy became the first hero of the War of Resistance in the Republic of China, defeating the Japanese army and many generals fell one after another.
In this regard, Chiang Kai-shek only used the word "miracle".
Song Yuhang, who had just arrived in Chongqing for two days, felt uncomfortable all over. He tossed and turned on the soft bed at night and couldn't sleep at night. He always had to put his pistol under his pillow before going to bed, and the submachine gun was placed where he could get it with his hands. Song Yuhang then realized how cute the sound of guns and cannons was. The biggest enemy of a soldier was actually peace. Peace will erase the blood and will of a soldier. Only fighting and uninterrupted fighting were the fate of a soldier.
Although the next day, Changxuan invited Song Yuhang to the banquet again, Song Yuhang politely refused this time. Not being with his troops was like losing his soul. He knew that the time left for him was already very urgent. Before Roosevelt passed away, he had to determine the international strategic position for China through the hard battle of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Only in this way can China's national interests be guaranteed to be violated after the war. The extension of World War II made the Soviet Union weakened to a key point by Germany. The Soviet army's military strength in the Far East had been drained. Whether it could use this key point to make a big deal after defeating Japan is what Song Yuhang paid the most attention to.
Song Yuhang is the most important thing about chasing mad dogs and biting fools. Myanmar and India do this. As for how to get the Japanese Kwantung Army to take action against the Far East again, Song Yuhang has no idea for a while.
On the evening of June 8, light rain broke out in the dark sky, and the dark clouds were astonishing as the city was overwhelming. Song Yuhang was recruited by Chiang Kai-shek to the Huangshan official residence again.
After getting off, Song Yuhang straightened his military cap and looked at the dark clouds that were as powerful as destroying the city. He murmured in his heart that this did not seem to be a good omen. The guards at the gate of Huangshan official residence were already very familiar with Song Yuhang, a regular guest who did not often visit. He was completely numb to the politicians and powerful people who came in and out of here every day. However, they were very respectful of Song Yuhang, an extremely young general, and their daily routine salutes became particularly powerful.
After entering the Huangguan Mansion, Song Yuhang found that almost everyone was looking at him with a strange look. The senior geniuses in the attendant room shook hands with smiles one by one, saying some familiar words! It seemed that everyone was a close friend.
Chiang Kai-shek was still waiting for Song Yuhang in his east study room. When Song Yuhang entered the study room, he was stunned because Chiang Kai-shek was not the only one in the study room. He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Bai Chongxi and other important personnel in Chongqing were present. Although Chiang Kai-shek's study room was very spacious, there were not many things he prepared. Song Yuhang had to salute and smile and greet each other, and then stood by the green bamboo next to the door. To be continued,
