He stared at the opponent in front of him without saying a word.
Time passed slowly as the two looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room became more and more solemn. The Prime Minister, who was sitting next to him and looked equally puzzled at Liu Hua's performance, was just about to speak.
At that time, Marshall, who had been looking at Liu Hua, couldn't sit still at first. After moving his already numb body, he had to speak.
However, the person he spoke to was not his opponent Liu Hua, but the smiling Prime Minister beside him: "Mr. Zhou, I have to admit that you have chosen a very outstanding negotiator, and let me fundamentally grasp the situation in front of him.
He has no initiative in negotiations, and at the same time he has no confidence..." After smiling and nodding with the Prime Minister, Marshall had to look painfully at Liu Hua, who was still smiling and unmoved in front of him, and spoke.
road.
"General Liu, you are great... Since you don't speak, I will say it directly. I am very sorry for the difficulties your country is currently facing. However, for the victory of the entire Allied Powers and the safety of the entire world
Peace, I believe, the Chinese troops should not escape. Instead, they should not be afraid of dangers and difficulties, take the initiative to attack the Japanese mainland, assist the Allies to win the entire Pacific War, and completely defeat fascist Japan..."
After listening to Marshall's righteous answer, if it were anyone else, he would definitely express his agreement at this moment. However, what he met today was Liu Hua, who has always been unconventional. Seeing everyone in the entire conference room
All eyes were focused on him. A sly smile quickly flashed across Liu Hua's face, and then he asked a question slowly.
"Contribute to the Allies and the peace of the entire world?"
"General Marshall, I believe that General Stilwell has the most say on what you just said. In order to prevent hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops on the Chinese battlefield from rushing to the Pacific battlefield, our ** team paid a very heavy price. All the time.
So far, our Chinese Communist Party and the government have not recovered from the losses in this great battle..."
Although he knew that Liu Hua in front of him was obviously exaggerating, as the negotiator in the last negotiation, Stilwell had to answer in the affirmative in order to maintain his honor.
: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, there is nothing wrong with what General Liu said. In order to prevent more than 500,000 elite Japanese troops from marching to the Chinese battlefield, the Chinese *** did pay a high price to annihilate them all. However, as for the specific details of the troops,
I don’t know the extent of the losses, after all, this is the other party’s military secrets…”
With Stilwell's affirmation, Liu Hua did not hesitate and continued to speak relentlessly: "General Marshall, you heard me. For the peace of the world and the lives of millions of Allied soldiers on the Pacific battlefield, I am
The ** team has made efforts and paid a very heavy price for it..."
Facing Liu Hua, who was so threatening in front of him, Marshall knew that he had failed in this negotiation, and it was a complete failure. Thinking of this, he directly stated his ultimate goal.
"General Liu, in that case, let's get back to business. Let me ask General Liu, how much benefit do you need // Fastest text update - < > - No ads // before you agree to the Allies' invitation to send troops. Send troops immediately to attack Japan.
Native…”
"No. General Marshall, I believe you have got the wrong target. It is not how much benefit I want, but how much price the Allies can pay... I believe that as long as the conditions you propose can satisfy our government, our government will certainly
Agree to the request of the Allies and make our own efforts for world peace... Of course, General Marshall, you should not forget the various difficulties our army and government are currently facing." Liu Hua kicked the ball directly to Marshall, and a
He asked with a smile on his face.
However, in Marshall's opinion, this kind of smile is tantamount to a smile hiding a knife.
What kind of conditions should be put forward that can satisfy the other party and at the same time not show the Allies' stinginess... Combined with some of the difficulties Liu Hua just raised, Marshall's brows immediately frowned and he began to fall into silence.
Meditating. At the same time, the pen in my hand was writing and drawing on the white paper in front of me.
Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone who could sit in the conference room knew that Marshall in front of them had compromised. So they all sat motionless in their seats, waiting for Marshall's results.
Finally, after ten minutes of thinking, a condition that seemed perfect to Marshall appeared on the white paper in front of him. Then, he spoke confidently.
"General Liu, if your army agrees to the Allied Powers' invitation, our Allied Powers will definitely replenish your army with the following equipment and supplies in the shortest possible time: For the Air Force: two aviation divisions totaling 300 of the latest fighter aircraft and corresponding ammunition.
Navy: two light cruisers, six destroyers, ten transport ships, fifty landing craft and corresponding weapons and ammunition.
On the army side: five heavy artillery brigades totaling 600 heavy artillery pieces with a caliber exceeding 150 mm and corresponding ammunition. One heavy tank division totaling 400 heavy tanks and corresponding ammunition. Two medium tank divisions totaling 800 light tanks and corresponding ammunition.
Finally, our allies have spent a total of 200 million US dollars in military expenditures and require your government to send at least 500,000 troops to launch an attack on the Japanese mainland within three months to break the deadlock on the Pacific battlefield.
General Liu, I wonder if you are satisfied with these requirements."
After saying that, General Marshall looked at Liu Hua in front of him with confidence, because he believed that this condition was enough to impress the Chinese leaders with backward equipment.
Indeed, just as he finished speaking, everyone sitting next to Liu Hua, including the Prime Minister, showed moved expressions. Just when Marshall's face was about to show a smile of victory, an unexpected appearance appeared. Sitting there
Liu Hua, who was directly opposite him, not only did not show any expression, but instead showed a playful smile.
Seeing Liu Hua's unexpected performance, Marshall couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. Then, with an uncertain look on his face, he asked, "General Liu, what do you think?"
Facing everyone's eyes, especially the Prime Minister's, Liu Hua's face immediately showed a relieved smile. Then, facing Marshall in front of him, he asked a question of his own.
"General Marshall, before answering your question, I would like to ask you a question first. As the chief of staff of the US military, I believe that you should have a certain understanding of Japan's current domestic production capabilities."
"With the current national strength of the Japanese government, it is enough to mobilize at least 100,000 troops to the battlefield in one month. As for equipment, in one month, it can mobilize several warships, one to two tank divisions, one to two
There is still no pressure on the aviation division... I don’t know if General Marshall agrees with my statement..."
After saying this, Liu Hua stared at Marshall in front of him, waiting for his answer.
Although it was unclear what Liu Hua's purpose was in saying these words, his opponent, General Marshall, still gave an affirmative answer.
In an instant, Liu Hua's face showed a smile that showed success. He said directly to Marshall.
"In this case, General Marshall, if the Japanese government invests all these personnel and equipment in the Pacific battlefield, the Allies will definitely invest corresponding personnel and equipment in order to win the entire war. If I assure you on behalf of our government, as long as your
Once the equipment arrives, our army will launch an attack within a month. Can the equipment and materials that the Allies will invest in the Pacific battlefield in the next two months be sent to our country in advance?"
"General Marshall, my request is very simple: one medium aircraft carrier, six light cruisers, eighteen destroyers, twenty transport ships, one hundred landing craft, six aviation divisions, three heavy tank divisions, six medium tank divisions
, fifteen heavy artillery brigades, US$500 million and all heavy industrial equipment in Japan. As long as you can agree to these requests, I can tell you with certainty on behalf of the government that China will send troops within a month. Of course, the premise is that all the heavy industrial equipment you promised
Equipment and supplies have been shipped to our country."
Seeing the astonished Marshall in front of him, Liu Hua continued: "General Marshall, I believe that both you and President Roosevelt of your country should be able to settle this account. No matter from which aspect,
Your country and the entire Allied Powers will not suffer any loss. They will just invest the corresponding equipment invested in the Pacific battlefield into China. More importantly, your country and the entire Allied Forces will reduce many casualties as a result..."
Seeing the thoughtful Marshall in front of him, Liu Hua believed that his request seemed very high. However, for the US government, which is known as the world's factory and pays special attention to human rights and only pays attention to immediate immediate interests.
Gao. Even if the Marshall in front of me does not agree, their president, their people, especially the American plutocratic group, will agree without reservation.
Sure enough, less than half an hour after Marshall sent the contents of the negotiations to the United States via telegram, Roosevelt responded affirmatively, and it was in Marshall's hands...
Looking at the telegram sent by Roosevelt himself, Marshall could not help but reveal a wry smile. He said to Liu Hua in front of him with a smile on his face.
"General Liu, if you go into business, you will definitely become the most cunning businessman in the world. Congratulations, President Roosevelt of our country has agreed to your request. All the equipment will be sent to China with the ships to reinforce your country. Please
The government is ready to accept it. At the same time, in accordance with our agreement, we will make a decision to send troops to Japan..."
"must…."
