Chapter 643 General and President

On July 9, US President Roosevelt met with General Zheng Yong, head of the Chinese military delegation.

Obviously, Mr. President has a good impression of the young general, and of course this is based on the premise that he had maintained a good relationship with Kong Lingyi and Chunni.

The President first praised the general for his unpleasant words of praise and expressed his admiration for the Chinese people's bravery to fight against Japanese pirates.

General Zheng Yong also expressed the gratitude of the Chinese people to the United States for the assistance given to China to President Roosevelt, and hoped that this cooperative relationship could be preserved for a long time.

"Cooperative relationship", General Zheng Yong did not deliberately mention the aid relationship, but put cooperation first, which is equal to each other.

The President obviously noticed General Zheng Yong's words, and his expression looked very cunning:

"General, it's obvious that you want to dominate the negotiations, so you are very cautious in the words, and I began to find that for you and your country you don't want to suffer any losses at all.

But I have to remind you that the United States has given China aid very sincerely. Although it has not met your requirements, at least we have not received any rewards."

"I think this is wrong, Mr. President." Zheng Yong picked up the cup and took a sip of the Chinese tea specially prepared for him by the President, moistened his throat and said:

"Didn't you notice what China's War of Resistance has brought to you? We have dragged down the millions of Japanese troops and forced them to put all their energy into the Chinese battlefield.

Of course, the benefits you bring to you are not so obvious, but it is obvious that the help you give us will be fully displayed soon.

The United States is already considering an embargo on Japan, but its opinions have not been completely unified yet. I believe that Japan will not be indifferent to this and will definitely take some necessary measures..."

"You mean that Japan will be bad for the United States?" President Roosevelt's expression suddenly became serious.

"I don't know, so far I have no information on this." Zheng Yong's expression was calm and said slowly: "But I believe that peace will not be long, maybe the storm will come sooner or later.

In my opinion, the United States wants to stay out of the matter. This is unlikely to be able to do. The whole of Europe is already in war. Does the United States still want to stay away from war forever?"

"Yes, I want to take tough measures against Japan or Germany, and I firmly believe that only in this way can the interests of the United States be guaranteed."

The President didn't seem to want to hide anything, he said with a worried expression:

"But the opinions of Congress are very disunited, and the members of the parliament have been chattering and quarreling over this, and everyone seems to have very sufficient reasons.

You know that the United States is a democratic and free country. Even if the president approves many things, as long as Congress cannot pass them, they will be just empty talk.

I think no one has a greater say in war than you, so I have won you an opportunity to speak in Congress and hope you can be as successful as your wife.

Mr. General, you have many secrets in your heart that we cannot know. I hope you can share these secrets with us to lay a good foundation for the final cooperation..."

Zheng Yong smiled faintly. Yes, he had many secrets in his heart, but only he knew these secrets forever.

What is funny is that now my wife seems to have become a ruler, and everything she does is consciously or unconsciously compared by Americans and her wife.

"I have another purpose this time, and it is very important." Zheng Yong paused and said:

"What is certain is that the United States will inevitably be involved in this war. Once the war breaks out, as an ally of Germany, I think they will not stand on the side of the United States. I think you can be sure of this.

There is an old saying in China, saying that preventing problems before they happen. I think our cooperation is not only reflected in military, political and economic aspects, but also in intelligence. Mr. President..."

President Roosevelt nodded slightly, obviously he also agreed with Zheng Yong's view:

"This is OK, but it must be carried out in a state of secret cooperation in the early stage. I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble before the war comes.

I will arrange special personnel to discuss this matter with you. You can do it first. Once the time is ripe, you can carry out intelligence work on the whole line and lay a good foundation for the future..."

Zheng Yong smiled and it seemed that Sino-US intelligence cooperation in this era started with himself.

The "China-US Special Technical Cooperation Institute" even has its name ready-made. In its own era, this organization was once rendered with a layer of demonic color.

In fact, I know that the Sino-US Cooperation Institute was an organization established in World War II to fight against Japan, and had nothing to do with prisons such as Baigongguan Zhazidong, and did not participate in China's civil war.

However, in my own vision, this organization, which should have been affiliated with the Supreme Intelligence Command of China and the United States, should now start from its third war zone.

He has even selected the person in charge, Luo Yumeng, who is infinitely loyal to him.

"Mr. General, tell me what you think of your leader, Mr. Chiang Chiang Kai-shek." The president's words were a little abrupt, and he said with a smile:

"As far as I know, in your China, some people admire Mr. Chiang Kai-shek very much and believe that he is the most wise leader who can lead China.

Some people are also very dissatisfied with him, and even think that he is a demon. Of course, the sudden war hides many contradictions. So what do you think of this leader?"

This question is a bit sensitive and may directly affect the US president's view of Chinese leaders. Zheng Yong pondered for a moment and said:

"This issue must be viewed in two ways. In the case of a melee in Chinese warlords, of course, no one will surrender under the leadership of others and will try every means to defeat the other party.

Mr. Jiang unified China, but it was just a formal unity. There were also many powerful warlords who were nominally led by the government, who were unwilling to accept this government in their hearts.

As you said, the arrival of war has covered up many things, and some conflicts that were about to break out will suddenly disappear without a trace.

I can't comment on how it will be in the future, but now Mr. Jiang is the most suitable person to lead China. I think that only under his leadership can we achieve the final victory of the War of Resistance... "

"What about the future?" The president's words were filled with a few strange flavors.

"Who knows what will happen in the future?" Zheng Yong's expression became a little serious, and he said slowly and heavily:

"Maybe the conflict will break out, but as a Chinese, no one wants to see such a thing happen. What China needs most after the war is to recover from anger in a short period of time."

"You love your country very much, and this can be seen from your words and things, but I'd love to know what would happen if you led your country after the war?"

Zheng Yong's expression changed when the president's words, but then he heard the president continue to say:

“You have been welcomed and loved in your country, especially after you have been continually winning the war, and it is said that where you appear now, you always cause tides of onlookers and cheers.

You have the ability to lead a country, but you seem to care about it, as you can see from what you did before.

From the perspective of the United States, this is also very welcome. Your wife has a good relationship with the United States, and their popularity in the United States is not inferior to your popularity in China at all.

So from this perspective…”

"Mr. President, this is not within our discussion." Zheng Yong interrupted the president and said with a smile: "It is enough for China to have one leader, and there is no need for two leaders.

I have a professional soldier, and my task is to defend my country and let my country come out of the war. The rest is not what I should consider.”

The president was also smiling, and he seemed to not believe what Zheng Yong said:

"I have said just now that you have many secrets. Maybe what you think is different from what you say, but I don't want to continue asking.

However, I know that there are some radical groups in China, all composed of young officers, who support you infinitely and worship you crazily, believing that only you can save China.

Such an organization is undoubtedly dangerous, but it can also provide great help to others. The key question is how the person who masters this organization can use it.

You have a huge army that fanatically supports your subordinates and the people who also fanatically support you. All of this has been built to successfully climb to the peak of political rights..."

"I repeat again, I have no interest in politics." Zheng Yong regained his indifferent expression, and he said to the President slowly:

"The peak of power does have a huge appeal to me, but this is not the whole of my life. I only have one ideal, which is to help my country win the war.

You can be when I'm hiding something, but that won't hinder my idea, China is very big and needs an outstanding leader to lead the country forward.

I don’t think that person is me. My personality is destined to be unsuitable. The position of leader means huge rights, but it also means responsibility and burden.

To lead this country to progress, you are the hero of the country, and to lead this country to retreat, you are the sinner of the country. This is my simplest idea, Mr. President."

The president looked at the young Chinese general with a strange expression. Is this Chinese general saying true or false? Did he tell himself everything calmly, or was he trying to cover up something?

I'm a little confused, it's really hard to know.
