    "Cough cough cough -" "Cough - cough cough!" "Cough -" The coughs one after another showed how dark Qin Wei's heart was.  You know, almost all of the people sitting next to him are not evil-hearted, but these people were so shocked by his words that they couldn't handle it. This shows how evil his words are.  And this naturally made Chennault's not-so-sunny expression even more cloudy.  "As far as I know, the Chinese government's original request for assistance from the United States should have been US$140 million!" "General Feihu" gritted his teeth and looked at his "boss", "General Qin, you are raising the loan without authorization.  "I wonder if the amount has been discussed with anyone in advance?" "You also saw it," Qin Wei spread his hands and glanced helplessly at the uncooperative people, "We definitely didn't discuss it in advance." "That means.  , your words can now represent the will of the Chinese government?" Chennault said with a gloomy face.  He decided to fight back.  One hundred and forty million US dollars suddenly turned into three hundred and twenty million US dollars, which was more than doubled. This kind of taking advantage of the Americans was unacceptable to him. He already regarded Qin Wei as half an enemy.  , even though he had always admired this guy very much before.  "Claire, you are tearing me down." Qin Wei smiled bitterly, "In front of so many people, you obviously want to create discord within us." "But your performance doesn't reflect that.  Is this true?" Chennault still refused to let go, as if he was determined to bring conflict between Qin Wei and Lao Jiang.  "You dare to make such a request to us on behalf of China without consulting anyone If I hadn't been working in China for so long, I would almost think that you are the supreme leader of China." "Claire  " "Qin Wei is young, accomplished and capable. When we guys are old, I will be very relieved to have him at the helm of China." Chiang Kai-shek's thick Fenghua accent suddenly broke in, "General Chennault."  , I know you are very angry now. But I want to tell you. The problem with the United States is that General Qin¡¯s words are my words.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lao Jiang¡¯s words were beyond everyone¡¯s expectations.  Chennault was speechless.  Everyone else couldn't help but glance at Qin Wei, and then began to exchange glances with each other Although this was not a formal occasion, had Chiang Kai-shek ever said anything about the heir in front of others?  This is the first time.  Although these words may be mainly to deal with Chennault, is there some truth in them?  As for He Yingqin and Chen Brai, that's it. One of them already knew that he couldn't be the boss.  One has no political ambitions, but Soong Meiling, Chen Cheng, and brothers Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu are different.  Song Meiling is better, Chen Chengke has always regarded himself as the successor of Chiang Kai-shek, and the Chen brothers have always been extremely ambitious for the power of the Kuomintang, although they usually seem to have no conflict with Qin Wei.  They only occasionally disagreed on certain issues, but once Qin Wei really started to plan for future succession as Chiang Kai-shek said, they had to change their attitudes.  "Chairman, that's not the joke." Qin Wei was also startled by Lao Jiang.  But after he came to his senses, he just laughed and said, "China's affairs are too troublesome! It's not my fault. If I were to sit in your current seat, I would be twenty years old in less than three years."  Years old! Do you believe it?" "You are too modest." "Although you are still young, you will definitely be able to manage our country very well in the future." "I believe you.  No." Qin Wei shook his head directly, "Chairman, let's not talk about my shallow foundation in the country. Even if I have a deep foundation, I can't stand the constant trouble A country's leader needs great wisdom, but in China.  It also requires great perseverance, a will as strong as fine steel, and incomparable patience. I still have a little confidence, but that's all. If it weren't for you and everyone here who have always supported me, I might not have been able to do it.  I will retreat when I encounter some trouble. I am not the kind of person who can move forward. I will only do what I can. If things cannot be done, I will hide faster than a rabbit.  This position is not suitable for me." "You have no ambition." Lao Jiang stretched out his hand and nodded at him twice, sighing as if he was a little disappointed.  "If possible, I would rather be an aide. Whether it's General Wenbai, Mr. Bray, or Brother Zu Tao, I think I can still be qualified for one or two of their positions. Of course, the premise is that I still have  We need a deputy who can do things." Qin Wei said with a smile: "You know, I hate trivial things." "If you hate trivial things, don't come to trouble us.I haven't opened it a few times so far. If the waiter's room is like this, what's the point?  Chen Guofu coughed twice, glanced at Qin Wei angrily, and then smiled at Chennault, who was sulking at the side: "General Chennault, what the Chairman just said is actually not wrong."  Although General Qin's actual position is only the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, he is also a member of the Military Commission and has the most say in matters concerning the United States.  " "Well, if even the chairman agrees with the conditions just proposed by General Qin, I have nothing to say.  But I need a reason.  " Chennault also understands now. If he breaks into the circle of these Chinese bosses alone, he will definitely not be able to get out. But since he has been ordered to come, he has to take a charter back. No matter how embarrassing this charter is.  People are angry. ¡°What other reasons can we have?  Qin Wei smiled bitterly, "Claire, in your opinion, I am taking the opportunity to blackmail you and extort the wealth of the United States of America. But you have been in China for so long, you should know what our China is like."  I have no reason.  If you have to give a reason, there is only one word: poor!  "    "poverty?  Chennault was silent for a moment, and his expression softened slightly. He had stayed in China for several years, and of course he knew that China was very poor. But many Chinese officials were unwilling to admit this in front of foreigners like them. Therefore, Qin Wei was willing to come up with  This reason is enough to show sincerity: "But it's just one word.  I still can't accept it, let alone report it to the government.  " "Then let's mention the Battle of Shanxi.  He Yingqin suddenly spoke. "You are also in Shanxi, and you should know how much effort and price we have paid to regain Shanxi and then look to Beijing and Tianjin."  Such losses naturally require more replenishment.  " "That's right.  "Chen Cheng then said: "Chinese soldiers do not lack combat effectiveness.  But more than half of our troops cannot get sufficient ammunition replenishment.  This battle in Shanxi was the only one since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.  If the United States does not give us adequate logistical support, this kind of battle will only happen once.  For such a huge battlefield in China, a mere US$300 million is not much.  " "If the Chinese government is willing to send troops to rescue General MacArthur and the 30,000 American soldiers trapped in Manila, we are willing to bear all the military expenses of your operation.  " Chennault hesitated. He did not respond directly to He Yingqin and Chen Cheng's words, but put forward his own conditions. "Claire," Qin Wei sighed, "What do you think of your conditions?  " "I am just responsible for conveying it.  "Chennault's face darkened again. But this time it was not because Qin Wei and others' conditions were too harsh, but because the US government was stingy allowing the Chinese to take huge risks to rescue their generals and  Soldiers, but only promised to provide military expenses. Doesn¡¯t that mean that they can¡¯t earn anything? What do they think of the Chinese as beggars or mercenaries?  Then convey our conditions to your superiors for me," Qin Wei sneered: "Four hundred million dollars.  Six hundred B-17s!  We will rescue MacArthur and those soldiers for you.  " "General Qin" Chennault stood up suddenly: "This is a major matter involving diplomatic relations between two countries and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. I hope you will not act out of emotion.  " "Qin Wei, don't go too far.  "Song Meiling also reprimanded Qin Wei in a low voice. She felt that Qin Wei was a bit too cruel. And it is definitely impossible for Americans to agree to this condition. "Life is priceless, Claire.  "Qin Wei sighed, "To rescue your soldiers.  You are willing to provide us with military expenses.  What about our soldiers, have you ever thought about it?  Your soldiers are human beings, but our soldiers are trash?  " "I have never underestimated the value of any Chinese soldier.  Chennault was choked and had to sit down again, "But I hope we can have a good negotiation."  Instead of constantly attacking the opponent just to win a breath.  " "Roosevelt and his cabinet members have always been very insincere to us!  "Qin Wei smiled ugly again. "We once sincerely hoped to go to the Philippines to help in the war, but both Roosevelt and MacArthur refused.  Are they really not worried about the Japanese offensive?  No, they are afraid that after we enter the Philippines, we will seize the colonies belonging to the United States!  And now, the Japanese have snatched away this colony and have your army general besieged in Manila. They may soon capture him alive.  We are willing to provide help and propose that the two sides form a coalition and establish a Southeast Asian coalition command to uniformly command military operations in Southeast Asia to deal with the Japanese's upcoming all-out attack in Southeast Asia.  But you still didn't respond at all, you just urged us to help you rescue people" "I know this, butthe conditions you proposed are too high.  Not only did I have no way to explain it, but neither did the military.The method should be explained to the government and parliament.  " Chennault's face turned bitter, because he suddenly realized that his side did not have any moral advantage. Fortunately, he actually looked angry just now. It should be the Chinese who should be angry. "You are wrong again.  Yes, Claire.  "Qin Wei sighed again, "Your superiors have every way to explain themselves to the government and parliament!  As long as they are determined, not to mention US$400 million, even US$4 billion is not a problem at all.  " "General Qin" Chennault looked at Qin Wei pleadingly, but seeing Qin Wei's face, he knew there was no hope, so he turned to Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling: "Chairman, Madam I hope you can  Propose a reasonable aid price based on reality.  " "Qin Wei, don't always act so excited. We and the Americans must continue to cooperate.  "Maybe Chennault's plea worked, or maybe he wanted to reduce some difficulties for his eldest brother in the United States. After all, the real negotiations still have to be in Washington, with Song Ziwen representing the Chinese government and the Americans. So Song Meiling thought about it.  He thought, and began to advise Qin Wei, "Madam, my request is really not much.  Qin Wei smiled bitterly, "The Philippines has definitely fallen. Even if we can rescue MacArthur and his gang, we can't stop the Japanese invasion of other countries in Southeast Asia!"  But the real battlefield for Britain, the United States and other countries is in Europe Therefore, we will be the only ones who can fight against Japan in Asia!  This burden is too heavy.  We simply cannot afford it with our strength.  Therefore, let alone US$400 million, even US$40 billion may not be able to stop it.  The price paid by Americans is completely worth it.  " "No matter how much it costs, we can still do it step by step.  " Chen Lifu suddenly said something, and Chennault nodded hurriedly. "Yes, yes, yes.  " "Step by step?  How much material reserves do we have now?  How many more wars do we have enough weapons to fight?  Do we still need our soldiers to cover the battlefield with their lives?  Qin Wei smiled bitterly, "Besides, who can guarantee that we can stop the Japanese?"  If we did not make reserves in advance, and failed to stop the Japanese from attacking India how could four hundred, four billion, or forty billion US dollars be able to make up for this consequence?  "    "India?  " Chennault's expression suddenly changed.
