Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is undeniable that Tolman throws out a temptation that makes people's hearts beat. As we all know, the number and amount of arms transactions are extremely huge, and the consumption of arms by war will also be staggering. What's more, no  We don¡¯t know when the Pacific War will end, but there will be countless zeros attached to this astonishing number.

    The loan principal with an astonishingly large base, the interest payment more than double the normal amount, and the credibility of the United States as a country are guaranteed. This is an irresistible temptation. It is similar to the Chinese loan sharking. Taoman believes that Tang Qiuli cannot  Refuse this temptation, unless, unless he is a fool!

    However, Taoman was disappointed. Faced with such an attractive condition, Tang Qiuli opposite him did not even raise his eyelids. There was no fluctuation in his eyes. It seemed that the words coming from Taoman's mouth were,  Almost like air.

    Tang Qiuli didn't say anything. Zhang Quan, Tang Qiusheng, Tang Qiuquan, Wang Xu, Zhao Yuhe and others naturally couldn't speak. However, their eyes when looking at Taoman were full of pity, as if they were looking at Taoman.  Just like a primary school student talking about the principles of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in front of a professor, at the meeting that ended yesterday, the so-called favorable conditions offered by Tolman were not accepted.

    Tolman was going crazy. The conditions that he thought were foolproof, and that were solemnly proposed after some conspiracy by the big guys in the country, actually had no repercussions at all in front of the Chinese.  Did the Chinese deliberately whet his appetite, or did he get dizzy with joy in the face of this huge impact?

    Taulman asked tentatively: "Your Excellency, Vice Chairman, are you satisfied with the conditions provided by our country?"

    Tang Qiuli smiled, took a sip of tea, and nodded slightly as if enjoying it.  He said in a calm but unquestionable tone: "Very dissatisfied!"

    The muscles on Taoman's cheeks twitched unconsciously. At this moment, he almost had the urge to run away. It seemed that the many adjectives the British applied to Tang Qiuli were not excessive at all. Sitting in front of him  He doesn't look like the deputy head of state of a country, but more like a vampire!  Will the United States of America.  As an object that can greedily suck blood.

    If the Southwest Pacific, especially Australia and that damn MacArthur, were not crucial to the interests of the United States, I would never have dealt with this annoying and greedy Chinese, let alone look at his disgusting face.  .

    but.  Even Taoman wanted to strangle Tang Qiuli to death on the spot.  He won't do it either.  An unhappy breakup or a breakdown in negotiations is not the ultimate goal of his trip to Singapore. He still understands the principle that a small amount of patience can mess up a big plan.

    Tollman took a sip of tea, adjusted himself clearly, and then said: "Your Excellency, Vice Chairman, our U.S. government will always remember your help to the Allies. President Roosevelt of our country specially sent a telegram to tell me and asked me to convey it.  The following words. In the future war against Japan, Vice Chairman Tang has fulfilled his responsibilities and obligations. Then, within the power structure of the post-war Republic of China, you will receive strong support from the United States and other allies.  We in the United States would rather have a regime that maintains good relations with Western countries!¡±

    If the former condition of Tolman is huge economic benefits and visible wealth, then the latter condition is a clear political commitment. Of course, there is also a threat. The subtext is that a person who does not listen to the United States  If the government of the Republic of China speaks, the Western powers will spare no effort to strangle it!

    For any man who pursues the pinnacle of power, this is a temptation more deadly than money. Controlling the political power of a country and ascending to the throne of the first person in the Republic of China. It is said that Tang Qiuli now has this strength, even if  Without this strength, with the strong support of the Western powers, it would have been impossible.

    This is Taoman's last trump card, and it is also his trump card. He does not think that Tang Qiuli can refuse such a temptation. He will gain both money and power, and his strength will not suffer any loss. The price paid is just according to the  Act on the intentions of the US government and be an obedient person.

    Of course, this has greater benefits for the United States. It ties the most powerful warlord of the Republic of China to an American tank. As long as his troops join the Pacific battlefield and participate in the war against Japan, the entire Pacific battlefield will be  The unfavorable situation in the United States will soon be completely changed. Although the Republic of China is poor and weak, it is undeniable that Tang Qiuli's army is still a capable fighter.

    The performance of mainland China and Indochina in repeated battles against Japan has irreproachably proved this point. Therefore, the Americans need Tang Qiuli to fall into their arms. As for loans with high interest rates, it is not a problem at all.

    After the war, the huge Chinese market was the best dumping area for American products.A large trade deficit will allow the United States to repay loans, including interest, without any effort. For the United States, it will have a huge stimulating effect on industrial production and make the U.S. economy take off rapidly.

    After President Roosevelt and his think tanks realized that they would inevitably have to deal with Tang Qiuli and must make use of his strength, they formulated a series of long-term strategic plans for Tang Qiuli. The core point was,  Just tie Tang Qiuli to the American tank!

    After listening to Taulman's words, Tang Qiuli's originally calm face changed. There was an incomprehensible sneer at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was still calm and he said: "Special Envoy Taulman, we are talking about business now.  That¡¯s all, don¡¯t have anything to do with politics, I¡¯m not interested!¡±

    After saying that, he slowly stood up and continued: "Two special envoys, I'm very sorry, I have an important meeting, so I won't accompany you!"

    Tang Qiuli's sudden move suddenly disrupted Taoman's wishful thinking that he thought would be 100% successful. Tang Qiuli's sudden departure meant that even the previously reached agreement to escort the US military on Luzon Island was  There is also the possibility of dying on the way. Such consequences are something Tollman cannot afford. Even the lives of more than 200,000 American and Filipino soldiers on Luzon Island can make President Roosevelt plunge himself into eternal destruction.  abyss!

    Therefore, Tang Qiuli must not leave the table. Taoman became anxious and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Vice Chairman, please stay. I am willing to negotiate according to your wishes. Please consider the relationship between the Allies.  As well as the United States¡¯ high hopes for you, we will continue to discuss!¡±

    Tang Qiuli stopped and said with a smile: "Special Envoy Taoman, let me emphasize again that my relationship with your country and the United Kingdom is only business dealings. As for specific operational issues, we will leave it to our Logistics Minister Zhang Quan.  General, I'll discuss it carefully with you and take my leave!" Then Shi Shi left with a calm expression.

    As soon as Tang Qiuli left, Tang Qiusheng, Tang Qiuquan, Wang Xu, Zhao Yuhe and other senior officers also left one after another. Only Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, the director of the logistics department, was left, gearing up and looking at the bewildered Taoman.  and Sikodias, their eyes were eager to try, as if they were looking at two skinned, shiny, fat sheep.

    After Tang Qiuli left the office, he walked around the office building. Seeing that there was nothing to do, he returned home and enjoyed a delicious meal cooked by Mei Xue herself. Among them, there was actually  He has his favorite meat, which makes his appetite whet his appetite and makes his mouth water uncontrollably.

    While Tang Qiuli was eating at his desk, he asked Mei Xue, "Xue, what day is it today? Why do you think of rewarding me?"

    Mei Xue sat opposite him and kept picking out meaty bones for him to chew, while saying: "Slow down, no one is trying to fight you, and it's nothing special. I've just seen you these past few days, and I've been watching you."  In the office, I didn¡¯t eat well or rest well. I want to replenish your body. My sister and Xinlan have both written letters, asking me to take good care of you. If you, the senior master, are not in good health, the two of them can  Forgive me!"

    As she said that, Mei Xue gave him a coquettish look. Tang Qiuli suddenly stopped talking, patted his forehead with his oil-stained hands, and said, "As soon as you mentioned it, I remembered that in the past few days,  I¡¯m going to the Northeast and want to go back to Dingbian. Why don¡¯t you come back with me? I haven¡¯t seen my parents for more than a year. Speaking of which, that little girl Jialin should be able to call her daddy, right?¡±

    Mei Xue pulled his oily hand off his forehead angrily, took out a fragrant handkerchief, wiped the oily stains on it, and said slightly sadly: "You remember that you have a daughter?  He and Jialin were left in Dingbian for more than a year. My sister wrote a letter. Although she didn¡¯t say anything, she just told me to take good care of you. But I know that my sister is feeling very bitter. After several years of being married to you, she worries about you the most.  "

    Mei Xue¡¯s rambling words seemed to be very close yet very far away, but they brought Tang Qiuli¡¯s thoughts back to his memory.

    In that ancient city of Peiping, the cold and charming female lieutenant colonel of the Military Command Bureau whom I met for the first time, killed and decisively defeated the pro-Japanese forces in North China in one fell swoop. After the director of the Inspection Division was assassinated, the weak woman whose life was hanging by a thread, accompanied him to face the situation.  Seeing Zhang Yang, he single-handedly defeated the director of the Political Training Department of Xi'an Station of the Military Command Bureau. In the Taihang Mountains, on the battlefield where the Japanese artillery fire was raging, the girl threw herself at him risklessly to block the shells for herself.

    The Huangyadong Arsenal, the race against time for rescue, the western suburbs of Nanjing, the ancient town of Moling, the feeling of returning home is even more timid, the lonely, helpless and hesitant Mei Ting, the Pingjin battlefield, returning to Dingbian alone, her eyes full of reluctance.  The past scenes of his wife, like a movie, quickly appeared in Tang Qiuli's mind. He found that he still clearly remembered every day and night he spent with Mei Ting.  night.Seeing her husband¡¯s eyes blurred and distant, Mei Xue couldn¡¯t help but lean on his shoulder and asked softly: ¡°Qiu Li, what did you remember?¡±
