Chapter 5 Governing the Southwest Section 11 Revitalization

… "But he stood in the wrong team in the face of the general trend... What is the general trend? The anti-Japanese old crack. All classes in the country have to demand the war of resistance to the end, but he is in the reconciliation, contrary to public opinion, and in the United States, contrary to voters' opinions. Do I need to tell you what the result is?" Zhuang Jihua stared at Thomas calmly, with a faint smile on his lips.

This American explanation made it easy for Thomas to understand. He knew very well that the person in front of him had many connections with American economic and political figures. Although he was in China, he was very familiar with the situation in the United States.

"If Wuhan is lost, General. What do you think about the prospects of the war?" Thomas stopped entangling Wang Jingwei's issue and began to talk about a problem that the State Council is very concerned about.

"Two years of war have made the Japanese understand that we have eliminated the Japanese army in Nanjing, Xuzhou, Shangqiu, and Wuhan in large numbers. It has boosted the confidence of the whole people. If at the beginning of the war, many people doubted whether we could defeat the Japanese army, no one doubted this anymore. On the contrary, the Japanese army was ruthless in the beginning of the development of the war, but now, two years have passed, the stronger the war is, the more we are, the more confident we are, and the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are, the more we are expelled from our territory, and Japan will surrender unconditionally."

Thomas was surprised. Although he knew that Zhuang Jihua was in charge of the war, it was the first time he heard unconditional surrender from a Chinese general. Many years later he recalled this conversation. He still clearly remembered, "He leaned on the chair casually. The ordinary tea cup was steaming hot tea with a tea fragrance. His eyes were bright and sharp, and his tone was slow. His analysis of the prospects of the war was very evident. As it turned out, the subsequent course of the war was no different from the description in this courtyard.

"Not only the Japanese, but even the Western world has our strength. We have a broad strategic space and a large population that can provide us with sufficient soldiers. There are also rich resources and a strong leadership core. These four conditions determine that we will not be defeated. We will not sign a treaty that was powerless and humiliating in the Qing Dynasty. Any attempt to invade our country will be subject to our firm counterattack."

"Is this the reason for the Lhasa incident? Thomas was so calm that he asked suddenly.

Zhuang Jihua was stunned for a moment and then smiled. I'm afraid this is one of the purposes of Thomas's coming today. He nodded: "In the past few decades, the British have been constantly instigating Xili. The previous central governments have been deeply alert. ** is the Chinese people's **, and the Chinese government will never allow Xili. This time we just drive them away. If they still want to do this in the future, don't blame us for being rude.

"Does your country have more severe measures?" Thomas was a little curious.

"Of course" Zhuang Jihua did not hide it: "We have many ways to deal with them. Thomas, don't you think the British are too much? They are too busy with their own care and are still involved in the ***. His movement to fight for ** in colonies around the world is surging, and it is easy to destroy them."

Thomas nodded thoughtfully. He knew that Zhuang Jihua was right. Britain has put out fires everywhere in recent years. Iraq in the Middle East, the Indian Congress, and the Egyptian National Campaign. These campaigns have made the British anxious, put out fires everywhere, and have weakened Britain's national strength.

He suddenly moved his heart. Did the severe measures Zhuang Jihua mentioned contact the Indian Congress Party? The British made a Westernization campaign, and they would crush India and even support Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia and other countries. This way, even if they did not send troops, the British would be in a hurry.

"The diplomatic community has a kind of understanding. Thomas asked carefully: "The reason why your country takes decisive action in ** is that your government hopes to make peace with the Japanese and jointly deal with the Western whites.

After saying that, Thomas stared at Zhuang Jihua nervously, but he saw that the other party was stunned. After a while, he started to laugh. This smile could not be curbed and eventually turned into laughter.

Zhuang Jihua stood up with a smile, walked to Thomas and patted his shoulder. Thomas wanted to stand up, but felt the hands on his shoulder were very strong and pressed him into his seat.

"Does diplomats have such rich imagination?" Zhuang Jihua asked with a smile.

"I don't think this is funny," Thomas said seriously: "General, this view has caused great suspicion in Washington, and the failure of the loan in the latest period has a lot to do with this view.

Zhuang Jihua's expression slowly calmed down. He didn't expect that the United States would be affected by such rumors. In fact, throughout World War II, the United States was worried that it was a racial war. Japan united the yellow people to fight against white people. In the eyes of Zhuang Jihua, a person who came from his previous life, this view was ridiculous and not worth refuting at all. When Thomas mentioned it, he felt very ridiculous, but he didn't expect that this view was very marketable and could also affect the policy direction of the US government.

"So that's it." Zhuang Jihua frowned slightly, and then he habitually showed a sarcasm: "Washington is worried. You should explain to President Roosevelt that we will never make peace with Japan. We will only stop fighting under one situation, that is, the Japanese surrender unconditionally. As for the Lhasa incident, it was a counterattack against the British planner of Xili, and the ten sects of Shanghai were commanded by the Japanese. Danlun was the Japanese who were the British. Li "Caidian, whoever he is, will be counterattacked by us at any time. Please tell President Roosevelt that we will fight to the end."

"General, is this your personal opinion or your government's point of view? What if the Chairman disagrees?" Of course, Thomas would not report to his superiors just based on these few words.

Zhuang Jihua was silent. He walked around the living room for a few times before stopping and staring at Thomas: "I tell you that the Chinese government will not make peace with Japan. We will never accept any treaty that is powerless and humiliating. Even if others don't fight, I will lead the military and civilians of the three southwestern provinces to continue."

Thomas did not realize the seriousness of these words, but after he reported to Jensen, Jensen Lixuan realized the positive signals and asked solemnly: "How did he really say that?"

"Yes, sir, why is there anything wrong with it?" Thomas asked in confusion: "Is General Zhuang Jihua's meaning? If Chairman Chiang Kai-shek negotiates with the Japanese, he will raise the anti-Cheng Chiang flag in the southwest, is that right?"

"That's it." Jansen nodded, and he narrowed his eyes and looked at the street outside the window. A group of students on the street were promoting air defense knowledge to passers-by. The city has clearly been marked by Zhuang Jihua.

"Young man, don't think he is exaggerating. He has this ability." Jansen's eyes flashed and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he said again: "Thomas, do you know. The British decided to block the Burma Highway.

Thomas sighed slightly: "Zhuang said that the British might block the Burmese Highway in revenge. But he was not worried at all. He admitted to the rescue. Japan would eventually come together with Germany, and Washington would eventually urge London to open the Burmese Highway."

"Oh, do you think we will?" Jansen squirted a puff of smoke, and the thick cigar flashed with a little fire.

Mass admitted frankly.

"Why? I hope it's not your feelings that affect your judgment." Jansen asked expressionlessly.

"Of course not," Thomas said: "I think Zhuang is right. The Japanese will eventually come together with the Germans, and the two sides will sign a closer cooperation agreement; secondly, if the blockade of the Yunnan-Burma Highway leads to China's defeat and is forced to cooperate with Japan, map, the entire Southeast Asia is under the blade of China and Japan, and the British will probably have greater trouble; in the end, China's defeat is not in our interests. Our goal is to let them fight and consume Japan's strength. Therefore, we should report to Washington and ask Washington to stop the stupid actions of the British."

Jansen nodded slightly, placed the cigar on the ashtray, sat down at the wide desk, and then smiled and said, "Very good, Thomas, your analysis of the situation is very creative, you can go and rest first."

Thomas agreed and left. After Jameson waited for him to go out, he pulled out the pen from the pen holder and started to start. Haha Washington wrote a report. There have been too many things happening these days, from Lhasa to Wuhan. The sudden air defense propaganda in Chongqing, etc., all show that there are major events to happen recently. The Chinese cannot protect Wuhan has become a consensus in the Chongqing diplomatic community, but what will happen later. The diplomatic community generally believes that China will seek peace talks with Japan. But today Jensen received a clear reply. The Chinese government and the pro-war faction in the military are still strong. After Wuhan is lost, China's resistance will not stop.

As he was writing, Jansen suddenly stopped writing. Looking at the gradually red sky outside the window, dead branches swept across the window, he stood up and walked to the window. He pushed open the window and took a deep breath of cold air. There were more pedestrians on the street. Workers who were off work and workers who were working night shifts were rushing to their destination.

Tavern nightclubs are gradually opening, and various vehicles stop in front of the door, and the fluorescent lights begin to shine, indicating that the new day's nightlife has begun again.

"It's really hard for the Chinese to understand. Two years ago, they still looked so scattered, a scattered plate of sand, but now they gather together to resist their common enemies." Jensen sighed in his heart. He moved thousands of miles from Shanghai and Nanjing. He had seen those people who were lying on the road, those ragged clothes, but still walked towards the West. Can we Americans do it? Jensen doesn't know. Americans like to enjoy, women, wine, and not war.

After a while of emotion, Jansen returned to the table to continue writing his report: "The British blockade of the Yunnan-Burma Highway will greatly harm our cause. The danger of peace talks between the Chinese government and Japan still exists. Only when Chairman Chiang Kai-shek knew that the US government did not abandon him would he continue to fight.

As the war deepened, China's nationalist sentiment was rising and they would overreact against their actions that they believed were hostile. The Lhasa incident was a prominent example. According to the news I received, China could not make concessions on the issue of **, and the British could not accept resistance from China, believing that this would lose face of the British Empire. In fact, this face would no longer exist. If both sides were allowed to develop, the confrontation would inevitably become more intense. I suggest that the State Council mediate to let them realize that cooperation is the most in line with their current interests."
