Nanjing had been recovered, and the Chongqing government couldn't wait to move the capital back to Nanjing.
This is a great symbol that proves that the Chinese people's war of resistance has won victory.
But the first guest to visit Li Zongren at the Presidential Palace in Nanjing was the guest he least wanted to see, the Japanese Foreign Minister.
If you don’t want to see him, just don’t see him. Li Zongren ordered his attendants to reply to the Japanese Foreign Minister: “If he wants to talk to me about surrender, tell him that I have no control over this matter and let him go to see Xie Baoqing himself. If he says that he accepts Japan’s surrender, Japan can surrender. .”
Japan's foreign minister was turned away and almost cried.
The People's Liberation Army has been bombing Japan for 27 days, and Japan is about to be bombed and sunk.
Xie Baoqing didn't see me at all, and he didn't talk to me.
Does he really have to publicly agree to those eight shameful things before he gives up bombing us?
General Stilwell flew directly to Tianjin, bypassing Nanjing, and the plane landed at the PLA headquarters compound.
Seeing that only Pang Yuan, Zhao Gang and others were picking up the plane at the runway, Stilwell couldn't help but ask, "Where is he?"
Xie Baoqing didn't even show up when he arrived, which was a bit excessive.
Pang Yuan smiled and said, "It's unlucky that you're here. He took his wife to Peking for vacation a few days ago. It will take a few days to come back."
"Vacation?" Stars were flying in front of Stilwell's eyes, and his head was buzzing like ten thousand bees.
At this time, he actually took his wife on vacation?
Damn it, he even has a vacation.
Stilwell took a breath, stared at Pang Yuan and asked, "Can I see him in Peking?"
Pang Yuan smiled and said: "It should be possible. He didn't say he wanted to go somewhere else. I heard that he went to climb the Great Wall today. I don't know if he will return to the city. General Stilwell might as well rest in Tianjin for a night. I will accompany you to Peking tomorrow, and you should be able to see him."
Stilwell waved his hand: "It's better to go now."
As soon as the plane landed, it turned around and took off again, flying towards Peiping.
At dusk, eight dishes were placed on the Chengtianmen Gate Tower, including Quanjude Roast Duck and Donglaishun Shabu-Shabu Lamb, all the famous dishes in Peiping.
Such a sumptuous table of dishes can only be enjoyed by Xie Tian, Tang Haoer, Pang Yuan, and Stilwell. It is too luxurious.
Stilwell looked at Xie Tian who was chatting and laughing and asked with a black line on his head: "Xie, what are your plans?"
Xie Tian rolled up his arms and sleeves and laughed loudly: "Then we must finish these eight dishes. Come and do it. You're welcome. Lao Shi, let's keep our word and treat you at the Chengtian Gate Tower. You have to cash it if you eat eight dishes. But we agreed in advance. I have already conquered Peking. It’s because you didn’t come here within three months, and you’re overdue. It’s not my fault.”
As he spoke, Xie Tian took the lead in rolling out a piece of duck skin pancake, but handed it to Tang Haoer, and then rolled the second piece himself.
Stilwell looked at Xie Tian dumbfounded: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me. We are all old friends. Why are you still refusing Japan's surrender? Xie Baoqing, I have to remind you that some people in the international community are already saying that you It’s a neo-Nazi, saying you’re going to commit genocide against the Japanese.”
Xie Tian rolled the biscuits slowly, looked at Stilwell and said with a smile: "When they attacked your Pearl Harbor, did you ever think about genocide?"
Stilwell shook his head: "No, but I just want to beat them hard and defeat them."
Xie Tian's eyes widened: "That's because the Japs only hurt you. How many people did you die at Pearl Harbor? More than two thousand people! Do you know how many people the Japs killed in China? More than 20 million people!! ! I said that if they kill a Chinese, I will ask them to repay with a hundred lives. Even if I kill all the Japanese, they will not be enough to repay my debt."
Stilwell rubbed his forehead speechlessly, looked at Xie Tian and said, "Bao Qing, you are too extreme."
Xie Tian looked at Stilwell and asked: "Are the eight surrender conditions I proposed extreme? When they ceded our 36,000 square kilometers of Bay and our 53,000 square kilometers of the Liaodong Peninsula, weren't they also proposed in the same way? What are the conditions? Today I just want to cut off their 36,600 square kilometers of Kyushu Island, so why am I going to extremes? Lao Shi, I really didn’t expect that you came here today to act as a lobbyist for the Japanese."
Stilwell waved his hand at Xie Tian: "You are overthinking. Japan and we also have a blood feud. I hope you will eradicate them. Okay, let's not talk about this topic for now. The Soviets have occupied almost all central cities in the Northeast. What is your attitude towards Northeast China?"
Xie Tian looked at Stilwell and smiled coldly: "Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away they are. If the Soviets don't want these hundreds of thousands of troops, then let them stay there."
Stilwell laughed: "I understand, hahahaha, let's just talk about sex and drink tonight."
As long as the Chinese would not unite with the Soviets, Stilwell and the people behind him would be relieved.
Stilwell came here just to test Xie Tian's attitude. Once he figured it out, someone would naturally take control of the rest.
Americans also want a piece of Japan's pie.
In fact, the Soviets also want to do so, but they are still in a stalemate with the People's Liberation Army, and this stalemate is difficult to break.
Xie Tian raised his glass to Stilwell with a smile: "Old Shi, in fact, you Americans have also become rich during this time, right?"
Stilwell was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and clinked his wine glass with Xie Tian.
After Xie Tian captured Korea, Japanese troops withdrew on a large scale from Southeast Asia. The Americans filled the void left by the Japanese and already occupied dominant positions in the Philippines, Malay and Singapore.
If it weren't for the fact that after the Normandy landings, the United States was in full swing with the Germans on the European battlefield and could not spare too many troops to support the Asian battlefield, the Americans would never sit back and watch thank God for monopolizing a big piece of cake like Japan.
The current world structure has completely changed. China has replaced Japan as a powerful country in East Asia. Americans' voice in Asia is concentrated in South Asia. The Soviet Union's position in Asia is facing another challenge from China.
Very subtle.
Fortunately, the United States and China still maintain a strategic alliance. If China can consume the Soviet Union for the United States, it will be something the United States would like to see.
North Korea's vassalization of China is just a trivial matter to Americans. It's thousands of miles away and it's none of my business. The more chaotic you are, the better.
As for Japan, anyway, Xie Baoqing is already serving Chinese food. To paraphrase a Chinese saying, love it however you like, they asked for it.
South Asia is a free choice for Americans. At present, the key is to focus on fighting the war in Europe. The two major allies of the United States, Britain and France, are about to be subjugated by the Germans, and the old masters are also helpless. No help.
Old owner...
The United States was once a colony of Britain, France, and Spain, and they had an intricate relationship with these old empires that was constantly confusing and confusing.
