Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Tang Qiuli was worried that he had recruited a large number of veteran pilots from Europe for the sake of the Japanese, and that they would become the fierce rivals of the two major flying groups of the Independent Division, Lieutenant Colonel Mei Xue, the director of the Information Division of the Independent Division, received a call from the Director of the Communications Division.  An urgent telegram from Chen Feng.  ¡Ý

    After reading the contents of the telegram, Mei Xue couldn't help but be shocked, muttering to herself, "This guy is really a militant. He is currently preparing to attack the Japanese mainland, and now he has declared war on Italy!"

    However, Mei Xue has always supported her husband's decision unconditionally. She immediately mobilized all the power of the Information Office to publish this document written by Tang Qiuli himself, declaring war on the Kingdom of Italy, in newspapers and radio stations around the world through various channels.  The full text of the book will be broadcast as quickly as possible.

    This declaration of war against Italy quickly became the headline news on major radio stations and newspapers, and was rapidly fermented in various words and languages, becoming the absolute headline news in the world that day.

    In Chongqing, in the southwest, at the official residence of Jiang Zhongzheng, Chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government, Chairman Chiang's face was ashen, he slapped a newspaper on the table, and speaking in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mandarin, he said in a stern tone: "Niang Xipi  Why did Tang Qiuli declare war on Italy on behalf of the National Government? Was it approved by the National Council meeting? "

    "Why not inform the national government in advance? This is an act of abuse of power and chaos in government. Where does that put me, Jiang? Immediately order the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to issue a public statement in the name of the National Government not to recognize Tang Qiuli's declaration of war. For  For his own selfish interests, it is not enough to fight against the Japanese, but also against the Italians. This is tantamount to a national thief!"

    The several senior officials who were summoned to the Chairman's residence were silent.  Listening to the old man's rage, they did not expect that Vice Chairman Tang, who had fought in the east and west and filled Asia with smoke, would face the Italians again and still take the initiative to declare war. Their hearts were quite complicated.

    After losing his temper, Chairman Chiang calmed down a bit. He was angry.  It's not that Tang Qiuli wants to go to war with the Italians, and he doesn't want to use the Central Army anyway. No matter who he fights, he shouldn't publicly issue a declaration of war without telling him. After all, he is the Nationalist Government's first  It feels bad to be ignored alone, this time.  You must not accommodate this person who is on the same level as you!

    "Yue Jun, what's your opinion?" After Chairman Chiang calmed down, he asked Zhang Qun, the chief think tank, for his opinion.

    Zhang Qun smiled bitterly and replied: "Chairman, my opinion is that regarding Vice Chairman Tang's declaration of war on Italy, it is better for the Nationalist Government to remain silent!"

    "Huh?" Chairman Jiang's eyebrows suddenly stood up.  Very dissatisfied with Zhang Qun's words, he looked gloomy.  Said: "Yue Jun, what do you mean by this?"

    Zhang Qun further explained: "Chairman, the declaration of war against Italy has become a fact. Even if the government denies it, it cannot change the fact. With Vice Chairman Tang's international reputation, who would believe that he does not represent the National Government?"  of!"

    "If the National Government issues a negative statement, it will only make foreigners laugh and blame Vice Chairman Tang. It will not change the established facts and blame Vice Chairman Tang. Foreigners, especially Italians, will not believe it.  Don¡¯t do anything that¡¯s not beneficial!¡±

    Zhang Qun's words made Chairman Chiang very discouraged, but they were absolutely reasonable. With the international reputation Tang Qiuli has gained today, foreigners could only think that he was a representative of the National Government. Chairman Chiang stopped talking, bored.  Sitting on the chair boredly, the atmosphere in the room was very solid.

    At this moment, a confidential secretary pushed the door in, looked at the faces of several senior officials, hesitated, and then said to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek: "Chairman, I received a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that the Embassy of the Kingdom of Italy in China  Ambassador Faisal, lodges a serious protest with the National Government against the declaration of war against the Kingdom of Italy!¡±

    "Niang Xipi!" Chairman Chiang exploded again and shouted at the confidential secretary: "Tell the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and inform the Italian Ambassador to China and ask him to protest to Tang Qiuli! This matter has nothing to do with the national government!  "

    In Duluth, the wartime capital of the United States, in the living room of the presidential residence, Roosevelt motioned to Chief of Staff Jonathan to turn off the radio. He thought about it quietly for a while. A flush of excitement appeared on his sallow face, and he became energetic and looked at it.  Looking at several military and political officials sitting around the sofa, they said with emotion: "This is the best news I have heard since the outbreak of World War II!"

    "No matter which Chinese Tang Qiuli, for what purpose, or how the conflict with the Italians broke out, it was a blow to the Axis Powers. Now, the Chinese and the three Axis Powers  The war between two countries will be a great help to the United States in the Patriotic War. At least, the Germans will not get allies.With the help of ??, our pressure will not increase!  "

    "Robert!" Roosevelt said to Secretary of State Robert: "The State Department immediately issued a public statement in the name of the United States Government, warmly welcoming the Republic of China's declaration of war on Italy, and calling it the mainstay of the Allies - China, one of the greatest decisions.  This is the greatest encouragement to all countries in the world that are suffering from German fascist aggression!¡±

    "In the statement, we must focus on stating the attitude of the U.S. government. With China's strong support, the day when the U.S. Army and the Canadian Army will defeat German fascism will not be too far away. In short, we must use the warmest language,  You should know how to make such a big deal out of it!¡±

    Secretary of State Robert nodded. As a diplomat, Robert was very familiar with writing such an article.

    "Your military believes that if the Chinese and Italians go to war, where will the battlefield be?" Roosevelt asked General Jeff Field, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.

    General Jefferfield replied with certainty: "Mr. President, based on the current situation, all the Italian troops on the North American battlefield have gone to Japan. Therefore, the Joint Chiefs of Staff believes that the battlefields between China and Italy  , it will be a three-party war in Japan!¡±

    Roosevelt nodded and agreed with General Jefferfield's statement. Finally, he said with hope: "I really pray to God that Tang Qiuli's declaration of war will involve the Germans in this war that happened in Japan."  It will be a blessing for the United States to come out of the war!"

    In New Delhi on the West Indian continent, the seat of the British royal family and the government-in-exile, the British Prime Minister Churchill, who was getting fatter and older, moved his fat body with great effort, took out a cigar, lit it, and put aside the newspaper in his hand.  , fell into deep thought.

    Tang Qiuli's declaration of war on Italy meant nothing to Churchill. The British Empire had reached its sunset and was on the verge of decline. The mainland had fallen into the hands of the Germans. Now, it could only hide in the untamed West Indies.  Along with these inferior people, I barely maintained the dignity of my colonial master country, and I was always trembling, guarding against the fierce Chinese next door.

    The uncivilized aborigines of the West Indian continent, almost blank industrial infrastructure, backward agriculture, and a series of harsh realities made the once ambitious British Prime Minister feel discouraged and wanted to restore the glory of the past empire.  Letting the British Empire stand on top of the world again has become something out of reach.

    At least, it will not be possible in Churchill's lifetime, and there will be no hope in the future. "Only the cunning US President Roosevelt will be happy about this matter!" Churchill muttered, throwing the newspaper aside.

    His thoughts soon turned to the grim reality. The skyrocketing commodity prices in West India, the shortage of supplies, severe inflation, the need to support the royal family and the large number of officials who had evacuated to the West India. The entire West India was like a ship.  The leaky ship made the Prime Minister anxious. No matter how big a deal he wanted to start a war, it was not as big a deal as filling the bellies of tens of millions of people. Besides, no matter who won in the end, it had nothing to do with him!

    In Berlin, the capital of Germany, in the spacious office of the official residence of the head of state, the German head of state Hitler and several party, government and military officials were sitting together, listening attentively and with different expressions to the full text broadcast on the radio. Tang Qiuli represented the Republic of China.  Government, declaration of war against the Kingdom of Italy.

    It had been a long time since the declaration of war had been broadcast. The bright tunes of German country music sounded on the radio. Goebbels, the Propaganda Minister of the Central Committee of the Nazi Party, dragged his lame leg and turned off the radio, but no one spoke.  In deep thought.

    It was Hitler who broke the silence and asked in a sharp voice: "What do you think of this declaration of war?" Everyone can hear that the Head of State is very angry, but who is this anger aimed at? It is the Chinese.  No one was sure whether it was Tang Qiuli or Italian Prime Minister Mussolini. Therefore, none of the officials wanted to express their opinions first. It was no joke to offend the Head of State!

    Seeing that the officials were silent, Hitler's face became increasingly ugly. Seeing this, Goebbels could only speak first, "My head of state, I personally think that your old Chinese friend Tang Qiuli reacted too much."  It¡¯s fierce. After all, the Italians¡¯ actions are well-founded and they are fulfilling their responsibilities to the allies. From a legal perspective, there is nothing wrong with it!¡±

    Someone started, Marshal Strongs, Chief of the German General Staff, followed by expressing his opinion, "My head of state, I agree with Goebbels. The three axis countries have an alliance. Now, your Chinese boss  My friend is fighting two other allies of Germany at the same time, which will put Germany in an awkward and disadvantageous position!¡±

    Goebbels, the representative of the Nazi Party, and Strongs, the military representative, both spoke to express their positions.Himmler, the head of the Gestapo, could not help but speak, "My head of state, this matter will indeed have a great impact on Germany. In your own name, would you like to send a telegram to your old friend to persuade him?"  He withdraws his declaration of war. .
