After listening to Zhou Guansheng's retelling, the chairman said with a smile, "First of all, I want to explain that the Soviet Union has indeed signed a neutrality treaty with Japan, but it has not yet formed an alliance with Japan, and I can predict that the Soviet Union will not be able to form an alliance with Japan.
Because the interests of Japan and the Soviet Union are relative, both Japan's land policy to the north and its maritime policy to the south will interfere with the interests of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union will not sit idly by. You can imagine that the Soviet Union will sit back and watch Japan occupy East Asia.
Should it be used as a rear base for attacking the Soviet Union? Or should it be used to help the Chinese people win this war together? I think it is the latter. The assistance from the Soviet Union in recent years has also confirmed that my statement is correct.
Just because Europe now has a powerful Germany, the strategic situation of the Soviet Union is extremely unfavorable, so the Soviet Union must first eliminate the danger of being attacked from both sides, and then it can sign a contract with the Japanese. At the same time, I still argue that the Soviet Union and Japan have peace talks.
We Chinese people have no right to object, but if this peace negotiation is based on betraying China's interests, we must resolutely oppose and strongly condemn this! We, the Chinese Red Party, are Chinese first, and then members of the Red Party. National interests come first
Before class interests, this is why we joined forces with Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan.
As for what you said, do I believe that we will defeat the Japanese? I want to say that I firmly believe that because reality has told us that Japan cannot win this war. The Japanese said that they would end the war in three months, but now they have fought
For more than three years, the Japanese have no ability to end the war, so only the Chinese can end the war. I agree that if we want to win the Anti-Japanese War as soon as possible, we must get assistance from foreign friends, but I never agree that China will fight without foreign assistance.
If we don’t win this war, China’s biggest advantage in this war is not weapons. Weapons are our disadvantage. Our advantage is our people’s anti-war spirit and our justice. I can tell you, and you can also fight with us.
Your president said that even if we, the Chinese Red Party, are the only ones in the world willing to continue the war of resistance, we will continue this war! Until the real victory comes!"
Bauer nodded and smiled, took the milk next to the glass, poured a glass and said, "I seem to have seen a warrior, and I seem to have seen Don Quixote."
The chairman also knew Don Quixote. He smiled and said, "It's not Don Quixote, but a group of people who firmly believe that justice will prevail."
Xie Weisi asked, "Mr. Mao, I would like to know what you think of the current international situation?"
The chairman thought for a while and said, "The essence of the last world war was actually the re-division of the world's spheres of influence by the major imperialist countries, but this war is different. This time the imperialist countries began to divide, and some wanted to launch a war.
, they are fascist countries. Some of them do not want to join the war and hope to resolve world disputes in a peaceful way. Those who want to start a war are Germany, Italy and Japan, and those who do not want to start a war are the United Kingdom and France. Of course,
There are also the Soviet Union and your country. There are also some countries that are threatened or invaded by fascist countries, such as China, Poland, Czechoslovakia, France, and the United Kingdom. What is the current situation? It is the fascist countries that have the upper hand.
Therefore, our other countries that are unwilling to join the war and the countries that have been invaded should unite and form a broad alliance to fight against the fascist countries."
"Alliance?" Ruide asked with bright eyes, "What kind of alliance?"
The chairman took a bite of peanuts and said, "It is a country dominated by peace-loving countries. I believe that Britain and China, as the main countries in the two major battlefields in the east and west, should naturally be the main members of this alliance. Secondly, as your country
A peace-loving country with strong industrial strength should shoulder the responsibility of a world power and actively join this alliance. In addition, the Soviet Union, as another world power, should also strive to join our alliance. Finally
, other countries that are willing to resist fascist tyranny can also join our alliance. I think that if such an alliance is really formed, our cause will win in the shortest and fastest speed!"
Ruide only felt that his whole body was inspired. What the chairman said was very similar to the thoughts Roosevelt revealed when he had a secret conversation with him before leaving the United States. At this time, he had confirmed that the man in front of him looked like a teacher and
A Chinese farmer is a great strategist who can be compared with President Roosevelt. They both have extremely high strategic vision. In comparison, the Chiang Kai-shek agent in Chongqing is far behind. This Mao seems to understand China better.
The importance of the United States. At this time, not only China needs the support of the United States, but the United States needs China's persistence. If China gives up resistance, then the next thing the United States will consider is how to deal with the possible siege of the United States by Japan and Germany. It can be said that
, as important as the UK is, so is China.
Bao Ruide and Xie Weisi whispered for a while. Bao Ruide took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Mao's words make sense. I am becoming more and more curious about your party. I went from Lianyungang to Yan'an and worked with your soldiers."
From my contact with Mr. Mao, I can feel that your army and your party are completely different from the news we got in Chongqing. But why did the news we got in Chongqing be that your Chinese Red Party is not willing to fight against Japan?
Instead, they go out everywhere to attack the Chongqing government troops and seize territory?"
"Bah! That guy Chiang Kai-shek, he only knows how to paint black and white and us to grab territory everywhere? When we attacked Taiyuan, were all his troops in Taiyuan? Isn't Chiang Kai-shek the emperor of Japan?" Dong Biwu snorted.
.
"There must be a reason for lying." Ren Chi didn't say much, but it made people think.
Xie Weisi smiled and said, "Although we are willing to believe what you are saying, our words are empty talk."
Zhou Guansheng asked strangely, "Doesn't it mean that we have recovered Suiyuan, Shanxi and dozens of other base areas, large and small?"
Bao Ruide was speechless by these words. He thought for a while and said, "If you really didn't take the initiative to provoke a war against the Chongqing government troops, then why did the Chongqing government detain General Ye Ting, the former commander of the New Fourth Army?
"
Speaking of this, Zhou Guansheng became angry again. He said angrily, "If we are really going to fight a civil war, then why did our New Fourth Army help the Youth Army capture Nanchang? And immediately withdraw after capturing Nanchang? That's a province.
If we want to fight a civil war in the provincial capital of Chongqing, why will our New Fourth Army be surrounded by the government troops in Chongqing? Lieutenant Colonel Bao Ruide is a soldier. Is there such an active attack? If we want to fight a civil war, then we must defect to Japan.
Then what happened to the Chongqing government troops who attacked us? They seemed to only attack us, not the Nationalist Army."
Bao Ruide nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. So is the Chongqing government army unwilling to resist Japan?"
The chairman shook his hand and said, "If you say that all the people in the Chongqing government are not resisting Japan and want to fight civil war, then I will be the first to disagree. General Hao Mengling, who died in the war, will not agree, and General Gao Zhihang, who died in the war, will not agree.
Agreed, many National Army generals who died in the war would not agree, nor would the National Army officers and soldiers who died in Shanghai, Wuhan and other places.
But there are also people in the Chongqing government who want to fight a civil war. They are a group of people who are mainly representatives of the capitalist and landlord classes. They are afraid that the people will wake up and have power in their hands. They are afraid that once the Anti-Japanese War is over,
They found that the people had awakened and were afraid that their power would be taken away by the common people, so they used all means to discredit our Red Party and our People's Government. You can think about it, before the full-scale Anti-Japanese War broke out, didn't the National Government get the
Foreign aid? Where do they put this aid? Is it put on military construction? Or on people's livelihood construction? Some! But more of it is put on the encirclement and suppression of our Red Party and on the people's political power.
Go ahead! You can go to Xi'an and have a look. Hu Zongnan has hundreds of thousands of troops there. Why are so many troops guarding a place where no Japanese army can reach? Who do they want to attack? That is Sima Zhao's intention
Everyone on the street knows it!”
Xie Weisi listened to the chairman's words and had a good impression of the chairman. He thought that the chairman would completely obliterate the Chongqing government's anti-Japanese resistance like the Chiang Kai-shek, but he did not expect that the chairman would not shy away from it. He spoke English with a strong accent to Ruide Bao.
He whispered, "In this way, if we really assist Chiang Kai-shek's National Army, he will not necessarily focus on dealing with the Japanese army. If Chiang Kai-shek's National Army defends the Japanese army and attacks the Red Party's Eighth Route Army,
It will have a huge impact on Mr. President’s strategy.”
Ruide nodded and said, "I understand your concerns. It seems that even if we provide assistance to the Chongqing government, we must impose restrictions. We must know how these materials are used."
Xie Weisi suddenly thought of an idea and said to Bao Ruide, "Lieutenant Colonel Bao Ruide, what do you think if we assist these Chinese Red Party people? We just want the Chinese to tie Japan's hands and feet and block Japan's troubles."
In Asia, it doesn't matter to us what's blocking it."
Bao Ruide shook his head and said, "They are the Red Party after all, and they are only speaking one-sided words. It is difficult for us to conclude that they are sincerely resisting Japan. I think we need to continue to observe."
The chairman and others could not hear clearly what the two men were mumbling, but Jiang Cheng heard clearly. He smiled at the chairman and said, "Mr. Mao, I heard in the south that your party is going to fight the Japanese army in the south.
Launching an attack, don’t you know this is true?”
The chairman smiled and nodded and said, "We have such a plan. Our Red Party Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army troops survive behind enemy lines. Only by constantly attacking the enemy can we survive and develop, so this is not a strange thing."
Bao Ruide asked with great interest, "Mr. Mao, we are very curious about your party and your border base area. Can you allow us to have a comprehensive understanding of the political, economic, industrial, agricultural, military, etc. situations in your border area? At the same time, we
I want to go to your front lines and understand your fighting methods and the Japanese army's fighting methods."
The chairman glanced at Ren Chi and said, "This Dr. Ren also returned from studying in the United States. He is our industrial director and is most familiar with our industry. You can learn about our industry and economy with his company.
This Mr. Dong is our treasure in the border area. He has many government orders in the border area. You can understand our politics through him. As for the military, you can go to the front line. Our Chinese Red Party is aboveboard and has nothing to be ashamed of.
"
Ruide Bao said happily, "This is the best. I believe we can get to know your party better through this survey. If possible, we hope you will consider whether to allow us to build an office here, and you
We can also set up an office in the United States and set up radio stations for each other, so that we can understand and communicate more conveniently."
The chairman said with great joy, "Okay! It would be best if the American people could join the Chinese people in fighting against Japanese imperialism and become the main force for world peace."
In the afternoon, Ruide Bao and Xie Weisi went to the residential area where American workers gathered. The two planned to go their separate ways tomorrow. Xie Weisi will go deep into every corner of the base area to understand the political, economic, industrial and other situations. Ruide Bao will start from the Anti-Japanese University and then to
They went to the southern front to learn about the composition and true combat effectiveness of the Red Party army. The two agreed to meet in Yan'an a month later.
--night
"Xiao Jiang, it's not easy. The Americans are finally here. What judgment do you think they will make in the end?" the chairman asked Jiang Cheng to sit down and said.
"Chairman, I think the Americans will be surprised by our strength. In fact, without the Japanese, we can already pose a fatal threat to Chiang Kai-shek's intermediary government in Chongqing. The more they understand our strength, the more they will treat Chongqing
The current international situation is already an extremely delicate time to generate a sense of distrust. No matter what the Soviet Union chooses, the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Germany, Japan, and Italy has become a general trend. Unless the United States waits for the general trend of the world to be determined, it must make arrangements first, and China is
One of the most important points on this chessboard is that Roosevelt must hope that China will entangle Japan so that the United States has enough energy to solve the more important problem of Europe. As long as he judges that the Chongqing government cannot shoulder this important task, then the United States will have no choice but to choose us.
Of course, considering the post-war situation, I believe that the United States will bet on both sides. One side is bright and the other is dark side."
The chairman took a puff of cigarette, blew out the window and said with a smile, "In today's chess game, no one can tell who is the chess piece and who is the chess player. Roosevelt thought he was the chess player, but the United States is not a player in the world's chess game."
