Chapter 278: Americans' reaction

The next morning, a scorching sun was in the sky, and a breeze hit, bringing a slight smell of the sea.

Jinxi, a county town that was not very famous before, instantly became like Shanghai, Guangzhou and other big cities, and entered the eyes of the international community.

Although Jinxi is far inferior to those cities in terms of economy, even Jinzhou is not as good as those cities.

But right in Jinxi, it has great potential. The hope of China was once again descended on Jinxi.

It can be said that countries around the world are paying attention to this war that took place in the Northeast region. The United States is not polite to temporarily close the conversation window between the two sides.

Because the United States saw a China that was unfamiliar to him, a military general with only 500,000 troops, and dared to challenge more than one million Japanese troops.

The Americans more or less know the strength of the Chinese army, including the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou, and the Battle of Guangzhou. These all show the national defense power of China to the fullest.

China did not win a single match, which made countries around the world feel that China seemed to be a weak country, which was so weak that it was several times the Japanese army's strength, but it was still irresistible.

If it weren't for the purpose of avoiding Japan's dominance in the Far East, the United States and other Western powers would have closed the conversation window long ago.

Although Germany has clearly shown that it wants to aid China, this has not affected the negotiations between Western countries and China. They hope that China can reject Germany and choose them.

Chairman Chiang is also very confused about this matter. Britain, the United States and other countries have already made it clear. As long as they cut off ties with Germany, they will initiate aid bills and submit them to Congress for review. Once passed, China will receive hundreds of millions of dollars of US dollars in military aid.

But on the other hand, the Germans have begun to take action, not only reopening the previously closed advisory group, but also providing some production equipment and other supplies to China.

Rejecting the Germans expressed his intention to be enemies with the Germans. Although Britain, the United States and other countries gave China a good promise, they are just drawing cakes to satisfy their hunger and have no effect at all.

That's why Chairman Chiang is very confused. On the one hand, he is worried about domestic wars, and on the other hand, he is considering how to reply to Britain, the United States and other countries.

At this moment, Britain, the United States and other countries suddenly closed the negotiation window. What does this mean? Chiang Kai-shek seemed to have noticed it, as if the Americans were very dissatisfied with their performance of being able to do everything.

"Mr. President, I think it is a wrong decision for you to order the closing of the conversation window now. First of all, the Chinese are basically going to agree to our request. I think as long as our country puts a little pressure, the Chinese will definitely agree."

A tall and tall man stood in the office of US President Roosevelt and said in a little dissatisfied tone.

He is not a diplomat or a senior government official, but he is a member of Roosevelt's presidential advisory team, and he is responsible for helping Roosevelt organize some intelligence, negotiate and analyze.

These people do not have specific positions or ranks, but what they say often affects the president's choice.

Such people will be found in every country, but they appear in different ways.

“No. Stolan, I don’t think this decision was wrong.

The latest news has been heard from the Intelligence Bureau. The Chinese people's war in the Northeast went smoothly and caused heavy damage to the Japanese army.

I don't think the Chinese are friendly. They have the strength to resist the Japanese invasion, but they still pretend to be pitiful to seek our help.

I think they are a little insatiable and want to get more and better resources from us.”

Roosevelt shook his head and responded to his aide with a serious word.

"No, no, Mr. President, please forgive me for not accepting your reasons, because I think it is a very stupid reason.

Since the Chinese have such strong strength, why should we seek our help? Didn’t the Intelligence Bureau tell you that the only Chinese army, Su Dao’s 99th Army, lack nothing?

Also, Mr. President, please think carefully, does Su Dao have any record of defeat? If it were you, would you be willing to put such a powerful army in a distant area and allow the Japanese army to invade arbitrarily in the country?"

Stolland still refused to give up his persistence, and even offended Roosevelt, continuing.

"Stolan, I know what you said, and I probably guessed that this army is probably not a unit controlled by Mr. Jiang.

But you and I can believe this reason, but the men in Congress will not believe it.

They will only think that no matter who controls it, it is China's national defense force. They have the ability to defeat the invaders and do not need our help.

The domestic economy has not yet fully improved, so they obviously would not agree.

I have to say that sometimes the president is not omnipotent. The men can only see the domestic situation, but don’t want to look at the international situation. This is also a difficult place for me.”

Roosevelt said with a wry smile.

"But Mr. President, are you sure you want to give up? In this way, we will lose a reliable ally in the Far East.

Once the Japanese army occupied it or was driven out of China, where would his minions extend?

The Soviet Union didn't need to consider it. The Japanese have proved through actual combat that they are not opponents of the Soviets.

Without the restraint of China, the Japanese will sweep across Southeast Asian countries in a short period of time, and the next will be our United States of America."

Stolan still said.

I have to say that Stollan is indeed a very powerful talent, and through this matter, you can judge the general direction of the future.

In fact, this is proven. Before the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese did not do a good job in keeping confidentiality. Even before the Japanese fleet set out, the specific attack plan appeared on President Roosevelt's desk.

But President Roosevelt did not pay attention to this intelligence, obviously he had known it a long time ago. The intelligence was then submitted to important departments such as the Ministry of National Defense. But every person in power chose to ignore it.

One person ignores it is a carelessness, and several leaders ignore it together. It only means that this is a naked conspiracy.

At the time of the incident, the US aircraft carrier was missing. Roosevelt woke up the sleeping Americans at the cost of a fleet. At that time, due to factors such as inconvenience in communication, not many people noticed this.

But in the years that followed, this incident slowly surfaced. With some memories of the old man from that year, the people above did know that this was the case, but chose to remain indifferent.

"Stolan, don't say it anymore. This is already like this, Congress obviously won't agree. We don't have much interest in the Far East."

Roosevelt rejected Stolan's suggestion, but he knew very well that only when the war touched them did the masters realize fear.

The news that the United States unilaterally closed the conversation window was soon passed back to China. Although Chairman Jiang was very angry, he was more speechless.

Although he felt that a large part of the assistance the Germans had given to China, or all, was sent directly to Su Dao.

However, some machinery and equipment were given to him. According to the investigation by the Military Intelligence Bureau, Su Dao only had a few smaller arsenals in Jinxi, and the output was simply unable to supply the troops' needs.

Since you are unable to build it, where does the ammunition come from? You can think of it even with your toes.

Now the Americans refused to continue the conversation, which forced Chairman Chiang to hold on to the Germans' life-saving straw. The Americans' rejection also happened to make a choice for Chairman Chiang.

At the same time, the several military camps in Jinxi were very lively. With the beginning of the war, the military camps began to become empty. Except for the few guards at the door, there seemed to be no one else.

Early this morning, thousands of soldiers entered the barracks. The unknown people thought that the war had been over and the troops were back.

But soon, there were roars in the camp, and then brand new tanks were driven out.

The dazzling blue sky and white sun flag and familiar military uniforms left the camp, these tanks were loaded with soldiers and quickly sailed towards the north.

A brand new t50-2 light tank was full of soldiers, and the tank was speeding at high speed, and even vaguely leaving the truck behind him.

They have seen the t34 tank and the Japanese tanks, but now the new tank makes them feel both excited and scared. If they go to the battlefield at such a fast speed, wouldn’t it be the fate of dominating the enemy?

But on the other hand, they had to hold some places that they could catch, for fear that they would be thrown off the tank if they were not careful.

I originally thought it was so glorious to sit on a tank, but now they really got on it, but only then did they realize that this feeling was not good. If they could choose, they would rather take the truck behind them.

The driver of the tank is also a novice, and his speed is sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Because he cannot master the tank driving skills, and with his own tank, he is too excited and often drives the tank very quickly.

"No, I want to vomit."

A soldier suddenly covered his mouth with one hand and grabbed the edge of the tank with the other hand, making an act of wanting to vomit.

"Erdan, hold on, you dare to vomit, I will tell you later if I will kill you."

Another soldier looked at the previous soldier in horror and said threateningly.

The tank is driving so fast now that he will be in trouble if he vomits those sitting in the back.

Originally, I went to the front line to fight, but no one thought that it would be vomited before I could reach the front line. What a bad thing it would be to go to the battlefield in a military uniform covered with dirty things.

The soldier called Erdan nodded and forced himself to endure it. The moment the tank stopped on the way, Erdan could no longer hold it back. He jumped off the tank and vomited loudly, spitting out all the food he had eaten in the morning.

There were many soldiers like him, and other soldiers who felt uncomfortable in their stomachs couldn't help but curse the tank's driver.

In the end, except for some people who didn't vomit, everyone else rushed to take the truck behind, but in the end they couldn't get on, so they sat in the tank with a sad face.
