Age of Rebirth

If you want to solve the problem of the retreat of 10,000+ American Filipino soldiers eastward to Australia on Luzon Island, if you want to solve the problem of weapons, equipment and logistical supplies for the reinforcements of Australian soldiers, give the British royal family and government a place of exile, and give the Americans a future counterattack in the Southwest Pacific , To keep a bridgehead, Tang Qiuli, vice chairman of the Military Commission of the Republic of China, is a mountain that cannot be avoided. Only the second person in China can solve these most critical problems.

Roosevelt and Churchill, neither of them spoke anymore, and the room fell into silence again, and it was the "novel" of Egypt. Apologizes to leak out silk谇斗choketraining neon thought starkremoteturbulent apologetic leaksaid that the capsule is still open and the toe is properly exposedPeptonepole bad collapseostrich Mutuan Jifu

Whenever possible, Prime Minister Churchill would not open his mouth to the Chinese who he hated from the bottom of his heart, and counted how much that greedy and cunning Chinese had taken from the British Empire. The entire Indochina Peninsula, most of the India and Dongba watched helplessly as the Chinese cut off the overseas territories of the British Empire piece by piece, but he could do nothing. Every time he thought about this, Prime Minister Churchill felt unbearable pain.

Could it be that he couldn't escape the fate of dealing with that devilish Chinese?At this time, Prime Minister Churchill actually felt a little disheartened.

The silent President Roosevelt, deep down, was no better than Prime Minister Churchill. However, he thought about it on a deeper level. Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Chinese has great strength, but he has obviously adopted an attitude of watching fire from the other side. If Tang Qiuli had acted decisively at the beginning of the war, the situation in the Southwest Pacific would definitely not be like it is today.It is not good for the United States. [

Of course, President Roosevelt also knew in his heart that the reason for this situation was the US's attitude towards Tang Qiuli, and more importantly, the US military chief in the Southwest Pacific region. What MacArthur did completely angered this Chinese People, at heart, President Roosevelt.I don't agree with some of MacArthur's actions. What's more, that MacArthur is a master who feels uncomfortable every day if he doesn't cause trouble!

Although it was a headache for MacArthur.President Roosevelt did not mean to replace the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Pacific Theater, after all.MacArthur worked hard for the interests of the United States.From the perspective of the national interests of the United States, in the Southwest Pacific region, no forces that exec the interests of the United States are allowed to exist, neither the Japanese nor Tang Qiuli.

MacArthur joined forces with the Japanese to suppress Tang Qiuli, regardless of whether he used fair or despicable means.Or the use of Tang Qiuli to weaken the strength of the Japanese is based on the highest goal of the US national interest. Therefore, President Roosevelt can tolerate MacArthur's misconduct in the Southwest Pacific.Although this guy caused himself a lot of trouble.

With the ability of the Chinese Tang Qiuli in many diplomatic and international affairs, he will definitely see this. He didn't expect Tang Qiuli to have much favor for the Americans. If there is no lunatic Japanese People, maybe the Chinese are the enemies of the United States, but now they want to ask him. What price will the United States pay for this?

President Roosevelt can't judge for the time being, but Australia's importance to the United States should not be hesitant. Don't expect that the Chinese can provide private help. There are only interests between countries, and it is the same for yourself. I just hope , Don't make yourself unable to accept the conditions put forward by the Chinese!

Prime Minister Churchill was much more anxious than President Roosevelt. The importance of Australia to the United Kingdom has never been shown as it is now. Australia falling into the hands of the Japanese is not a fatal blow to everyone. The big deal, the Americans You can stay behind closed doors and stick to the mainland. With the current national strength of the Japanese, they dare not rush into the United States.

But Australia is completely different to Britain. The fall of the mainland is imminent. That lunatic Hitler clearly has the determination not to take down the British Isles. If Australia falls to the Japanese, you will let the exiled British royal family and Where is the government?Maybe, Britain really died out!

No one wanted to pierce this embarrassing topic first, but Churchill couldn't afford to wait. He said: "Your Excellency, I have a suggestion. In the name of the US government and the British government, jointly put pressure on the Chairman Jiang of the Republic of China." , through his hands, forced Tang Qiuli to fulfill the obligations of the allies, first asking him to cover the withdrawal of your country's army on Luzon Island, and then discussing other issues in depth."

"In this way, we can avoid dealing with Tang Qiuli directly, and save a lot of trouble. As far as I know, your country's influence in the Republic of China is far greater than that of the United Kingdom. Your proposal to Chairman Jiang He shouldn't be able to refuse the request, right?"

President Roosevelt could only smile wryly, and muttered to himself: "This John Bull, who is full of pragmatism, is still planning to sweep the United States away from the front, but he doesn't understand the internal affairs of that ancient Eastern country. Also, Churchill has been beaten by Hitler. I have to be dizzy, and I am too busy dealing with domestic affairs, so I have no energy to pay attention to China!"

Therefore, President Roosevelt had to explain patiently: "Your Excellency, you do not know that the internal power structure of the Republic of China has undergone fundamental changes. The ability to control the regime and his army only control Chongqing and Sichuan in the southwest of China, and for Tang Qiuli, Chairman Jiang is just a signboard that can be used at any time!"

"There is an idiom in China that best describes this phenomenon. It is called holding the emperor to order the princes. We can join forces to put pressure on the national government, but it is Tang Qiuli who finally solves the problem. My commander in the Southwest Pacific Theater, General MacArthur, has already After trying many times, in the end, I had to deal with Tang Qiuli!"

Churchill's fat body twisted a few times on the chair uneasily, and said, "Your Excellency, this means that we have to deal with Tang Qiuli!"

President Roosevelt smiled and replied: "Yes, it must be so, we have no choice!"

"Then let's get started, we can't afford to waste time!" Prime Minister Churchill said with a deep sigh, and anyone can break the Nai in his heart.

On August 27, the US ambassador to China, Tallman, and the British ambassador to China, Sicodias, respectively received letters of appointment issued by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill, appointing them as special envoys of the United States of America and the British Empire to be responsible for the Discuss with Tang Qiuli about escorting the US-Philippine troops evacuated from Luzon Island, as well as providing reinforcements for the Australian troops in the West Indies, providing weapons, equipment and logistical supplies.

Along with the letter of appointment, there were also private telegrams from President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill to the two. In the telegram, the two heads of state gave Taulman and Sicodias full power and a bottom line for negotiations, In other words, as long as the two special envoys don't sell Washington and London to the Chinese, they can talk about anything, except of course, the requirement for overseas territories.

After receiving the telegram, Ambassador Sikodias did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly drove to the American embassy to discuss countermeasures with the American ambassador Taurman. In Prime Minister Churchill's telegram, there was such a special request that this time with Tang Qiu The negotiations on separation were completely dominated by the Americans, and the British Empire only needed to do a good job of cooperating. In order to emphasize this point, Prime Minister Churchill also used a Chinese idiom in his telegram, "Only the United States is the leader!"

Prime Minister Churchill believes that Ambassador Sicodias, who is proficient in Chinese culture, will understand this. His good intentions can be seen. In fact, this is Churchill's clever move. With the current national strength of the United Kingdom and the dangers it faces As far as he is concerned, he is not qualified to compete with the United States for the boss, nor can he bear the responsibility of being the boss. Isn't it to let the greedy and cunning Chinese Tang Qiuli take advantage of the fight? [

When the two freshly-baked special envoys meet, it can be said that tears meet and frowns meet. Both of them are old fritters who have been in China for many years. How can they not know the secrets of the government of the Republic of China? Vice Chairman Tang Qiuli, who has opened up the territory, knows a lot. When he thinks of dealing with Tang Qiuli, he still has the important task of fighting for the best interests of the United States and the British Empire and persuading Tang Qiuli to send troops. , The hearts of the two of them trembled.

It sounds good to say that the ambassadors and special envoys of the two most powerful countries in the world, all they see are smiling faces in Chongqing, not to mention fear, compliments, and deliberate flattery. Those senior officials of the national government, It is a very face-saving thing to be proud of having a relationship with him, but in Tang Qiuli's control area, the two of them still have self-knowledge, and I am afraid they are not even a fart.

Especially the British ambassador to China Sikodias, thinking of Tang Qiuli's vicious fighting against the British Imperial Army in the Hukang Valley in northern Myanmar and in the East India region, the back of his head felt cold Feng, that Chinese, who doesn't buy into the Western powers, is a hard-line nationalist. Fortunately, the Americans are in the lead this time, and his psychological pressure is still a little bit less!

In accordance with international diplomatic practice, the two special envoys drove to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Government of the Republic of China, and submitted a letter of request to negotiate with Tang Qiuli. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials who handled the matter saw that their foreheads were sweating immediately. , This is a big deal, Man said he can't make the decision, even the foreign minister and his old man dare not make a decision!

If the two great powers directly negotiate with Vice Chairman Tang, what will happen to the Chongqing Nationalist Government? Big things will happen!

The official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs found an excuse to slip out and rushed to the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
