Fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek's expression has always been quite stupid, and neither Roosevelt nor Jae Jill cared about it. However, this rest adjustment only solved one problem, but it was only a small problem, which disappointed Roosevelt. However, after returning to the US consulate in the city, he received a notice from Chiang Kai-shek's visit.

Roosevelt invited Chiang Kai-shek to the small living room. The small living room in the consulate was not big and the decoration was very ordinary. Roosevelt noticed that with Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, there was a middle-aged man with glasses and gentleness. Soong Mei-ling introduced that Chiang Kai-shek's secretary Bai Sitong.

"Mr. President, the Yunnan-Burma Highway has been reopened," Chiang Kai-shek went straight to the point: "Currently, US aid supplies are only 30,000 tons per month, and we hope to reach 100,000 tons in two months to meet the needs of China's battlefield.

Roosevelt did not answer immediately but thought silently. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek's views in Cairo were revealed when Wilkie visited China. Roosevelt understood Chiang Kai-shek's painstaking efforts. The Chinese battlefield needed a large amount of supplies, and a 100,000 tons of supplies per month was not a large amount.

But the United States also considers that American supplies now support China, Britain, and the Soviet Union. Every year, tens of millions of tons of supplies are sent to the Soviet Union and tens of millions of tons of supplies are sent to the United Kingdom. In addition, there are US troops on the Pacific battlefield and US troops in Europe, all need supplies. In addition, Roosevelt believes that if Chiang Kai-shek agrees to this, what will the UK react? He cannot ignore it.

"Chairman first..." Roosevelt signaled, the waiter had just brought the tea: "It is rare that you can drink black tea from your country in Cairo. It seems that the war and fighting have not interrupted trade..."

Chiang Kai-shek was stunned and didn't understand what Roosevelt meant. Soong Mei-ling's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "Commodities cannot be eliminated by war, trade is everywhere..."

Roosevelt shook his head slightly in his heart. Soong Mei-ling didn't understand his words, but he didn't point it out. "Although she said it well, the war against Japan has been almost two years, and the dawn of victory has emerged on the horizon. Mr. Chairman, what are your requirements for what you have after the war..."

Chiang Kai-shek was revived and immediately spoke: "For China, the War of Resistance began in September 18th, and it has been eleven years since then. The Chinese people have paid a huge price. After the war, we demanded the recovery of the Northeast, Taiwan, and Penghu Islands." At this point, he paused and added: "There are also the Ryukyu Islands..."

Roosevelt was silent and nodded: "I have no objection to this. The United States of America has never recognized any Manchuria. We believe that Manchuria has always been China's territory. I think that Japan must be punished and must seize the territory it has plundered through previous wars since the Meiji Restoration. I agree with the return of Taiwan, Penghu, and Ryukyu to China..."

"Thank you very much for your advice..." Chiang Kai-shek bowed slightly. Now the situation is very clear. There are conflicts between China and Britain, so it is particularly important to win Roosevelt's support.

"In addition, for the long-term peace in the Far East, I suggest that North Korea should be the best. The Korean people have been pursuing national security and national freedom. They are an important force in opposing Japanese imperialism and maintaining peace in the Far East..."

North Korea was officially annexed by Japan in the old and old years. Before that, the Porridge Year became a Japanese colony. In the decades since then, the Korean people have been constantly seeking national sects, assassinating Japanese officials, armed uprisings, sending people to the League of Nations to appeal, establishing an exile government in China and other measures have always attracted the attention of the international community.

"The Chairman said..." Roosevelt nodded again and said, "After the war, we should be at the right time" and let North Korea **, this should be mentioned in our communiqué..."

Roosevelt accepted China's opinions almost completely, and even the Ryukyu Islands had no concerns at all, which made Chiang Kai-shek excited and encouraged, but the next thing became a bit tricky. After looking at Soong Mei-ling, Chiang Kai-shek slowly said: "We hope that your country can support us in taking back the territory that Outer Mongolia and the Soviet Union cut through a series of unequal treaties..."

Roosevelt was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Chiang Kai-shek in confusion, as if he had not heard the other party's words. Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling looked at him with unblind eyes, feeling a little nervous.

When he first heard this request, Roosevelt was shocked. He had no idea that China would make such a request. This was not aimed at Japan, but at the Soviet Union, which was one of the allies. He was familiar with Chinese history and of course he knew that "after the New Year, Russia passed a series of treaties to cut off millions of square kilometers of land from China. The Soviet Union was also behind the support of the Soviet Union. From the perspective of China, China hoped to recover these lost lands is understandable.

But now we are facing the Soviet Union, whether in terms of importance or national strength, is above China. If China makes such a request, it will inevitably arouse Stalin's anger and this fragile alliance may be divided.

Roosevelt was a little embarrassed. He needed China on the Asian battlefield, and he needed the Soviet Union on the European battlefield, not only on the battlefield, but also on the post-war period, maintaining global peace. These two are important partners.

But then I thought about it, if these two countries get into evil, then they will be more dependent on the United States, and the United States will be more calm in handling international affairs.

Thinking of this, Roosevelt looked embarrassed: "Mr. Chairman, our meeting discusses war and post-war issues, mainly targeting Japan, Outer Mongolia and..." It is a very complex issue and should not be discussed at this meeting..."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded in silence and admitted: "Mr. President is right. It is precisely considering the complexity of this issue. I am not asking for discussion at this meeting. What I hope is that in the future, in the future, we can get the support of your country when we negotiate with the Soviet Union. "If we are allies, then the United States of America is the leader," Soong Mei-ling interrupted at this time: "We clearly know that now is not the best time, so we hope that in the future, in the future, when we negotiate with the Soviet Union, the United States can uphold justice and justice..."

Roosevelt smiled. He understood what Chiang Kai-shek and his wife meant. The negotiation must be very long and very difficult, which is a huge benefit for the United States.

"I can understand. I hope that China can become a powerful country after the war and play a greater role in maintaining world peace..."

Roosevelt said it very vaguely, but the basic meaning is still clear, but Chiang Kai-shek was not satisfied: "Mr. President" I hope that our two countries can sign an agreement or memorandum to support our country in the future negotiations with Russia..."

His request made Roosevelt embarrassed. He narrowed his glasses and immediately thought about the pros and cons of this for the United States. He was very manly. If he supported China, he would be known by the Soviet Union in the future. Stalin would definitely turn against him. In addition, the United States also lost the possibility of adjusting profits between China and the Soviet Union.

"Harry, what do you think..." Roosevelt asked Harry Hopkins casually.

The US government's steward had long frowned. Hopkins could understand and basically accept other requirements of China, but the final request was too much.

"Mr. Venezuela, the Soviet Union is still our alliance..." Hopkins and Roosevelt have cooperated for many years, and of course they know what he meant. If they could agree, they would agree immediately. Now let him come forward, and the leader of the natural heart will: "Our primary purpose at present is to defeat the Axis powers. We have enough time to discuss the issues after the war..."

This was a polite refusal, and Chiang Kai-shek felt a little disappointed, but this was not the worst result. Roosevelt did not shut the door to death, but revealed a positive signal.

"Mr. Chairman, after the war, what do you think about Japan's reparations and garrison troops..." Roosevelt raised another question.

"China has the longest and largest losses during the War of Resistance. In terms of post-war reparations, I think we should receive 60% of Japan's compensation, our country will also send troops to Japan." "As for Japan's troops, Japan has four major archipelagos, and our four countries can each occupy one island and implement joint management of Japan; in addition, Japan's current emperor system has now proved to be a threat to peace and should be abolished. I think the republic system should be implemented, and Emperor Hirohito's war crimes must be pursued..."

Roosevelt gasped in his heart. Chiang Kai-shek's rise was not ordinary. The hatred between China and Japan has been deeply rooted. China wants to fundamentally change Japan. It is to abolish the emperor's system. Even Roosevelt himself has not yet thought about this issue.

"In principle, I agree with your opinion. Most American citizens believe that the emperor should bear the responsibility for war. Secondly, the issue of compensation. I agree that China is the country that has suffered the most losses in the war against Japan, so it should obtain the largest share..." Roosevelt spoke very slowly and accepted most of Chiang Kai-shek's opinions, but only reserved some of the specific share.

"Chairman, Prime Minister Churchill has a lot of opinions on the issue of Myanmar. I deeply sympathize with the desire of Asian colonial nations to pursue **, but now during the war, some things cannot be too anxious..." The hint in Roosevelt's words was obvious, and he hoped Chiang Kai-shek would make concessions.

"Mr. President, we had contacted the Myanmar Deqin Party before the Myanmar counterattack," Chiang Kai-shek calmed down and said frankly: "The Deqin Party told us that before, they welcomed the Japanese because they hated the British; we also contacted the Vietnamese, and they also told me that they welcomed the Japanese because they hated the French. On the way here, I talked to Mr. Nehru of the Indian Congress Party. They were willing to support the allies against the war of the Axis powers, but their only request was **, India**. In their opinion, this war was their opportunity..."

"Mr. President, we have an old saying in China, saying that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. Since the last European war, the national movements around the world have been booming. Mr. Yuan. Our meeting here will not only solve the war, but also consider various post-war issues. If we can pass a declaration on colonial nations at this meeting, we will receive the heartfelt support of all colonial peoples around the world, which is crucial to winning the war..."

As soon as Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, Soong Mei-ling immediately added: "Mr. President, we have noticed the Atlantic Declaration issued by you and Mr. Churchill, which mentioned the issue of supporting national ** or national autonomy. I think we should go further now..."

In fact, in Article 3 of the Atlantic Charter jointly issued by Roosevelt and Churchill, there are clauses on colonial nations, "Respect all nations' right to choose the form of government they are willing to live under; they hope to see the nations that have been seized by force to regain sovereignty and autonomy;" but the words are very tactful, fully considering the face of Churchill and the British Empire.

However, Soong Mei-ling mentioned it at this moment, undoubtedly included questions. Roosevelt couldn't help but smile bitterly. Times changed. What was the situation at the beginning? The Nazi army was raging in Europe and the Soviet Union was shaking. But what about now? Hitler retreated in Europe, Japan was defeated again and again, the dawn of victory had already shown, and the British attitude had changed.

From the heart, Roosevelt supported the colonial nations. Through the colonies, the British controlled the world's largest market, raw material market and commodity market, which seriously hindered the development of the United States. This was also the reason why he insisted on adding that clause to the Atlantic Charter. But now Churchill's attitude has changed, and now in the war, defeating the Axis powers is the most important.

"As announced in the Atlantic Charter, the US government supports all nations that have been recorded to seize sovereignty and autonomy and regain their mastery..." Roosevelt spoke slowly, Hopkins' expression moved, a little angry, but his tone remained: "But we must give Prime Minister Churchill some time.

"I fully understand the difficulties of Prime Minister Churchill, but this meeting is a meeting of our Three Kingdoms. I think we should express our attitude. This is a relatively small thing for us, but it is a huge encouragement to the colonial nations..." Chiang Kai-shek insisted, "Harry, what about your opinion?" Roosevelt turned his head again and asked Hopkins.

Hopkins smiled faintly: "I believe Mr. Churchill will understand. I think we can listen to the opinions of the representatives of Myanmar and also listen to the opinions of the Congress." "..." Roosevelts asked for a moment: "It's good, we will go to visit Prime Minister Churchill tonight..." Speaking of this," he changed his tone: "However, Mr. Chairman, on the issue of Myanmar, I understand Prime Minister Churchill very much. If Myanmar is now given, it will inevitably push the first domino, and Britain is likely to be in many troubles..."

Chiang Kai-shek understood. "Roosevelt was hinting that he could give in. Churchill would never agree to Myanmar. However, whether Myanmar is now not Chiang Kai-shek's concern is not Chiang Kai-shek. He immediately replied: "As long as we can ensure that there are 100,000 tons of materials imported from China every month, we can discuss with the Myanmar government to move the current government to northern Myanmar or China. The Myanmar issue can be resolved after the war..."

Roosevelt and Hopkins smiled at the same time, and Chiang Kai-shek's purpose was indeed the case.
