The third bloody war of resistance Chapter 10 The raging waves Section 1 Tehran (thirteen)

The banquet began in a relaxed atmosphere. Without reporters, the participants were not part of the Western delegation, including the staff members of the British, American and Soviet embassies and above. Bai Si held a plate and chatted with Chen Cheng with Marshall and British Chief of Staff Brooke. He mainly served as an interpreter for Chen Cheng.

At the beginning, Marshall Brook's topic was to fight against Germany. Germany has always been the most important opponent of the Allies. Although the Allies have great confidence in defeating Germany, Germany is not Japan. Japan is now full of holes and has to support it. But Germany still has extremely strong strength. Although Hitler failed continuously, the German army's combat effectiveness is still very strong, and Germany's production capacity is far superior to Japan, and its war recovery ability is also stronger than Japan.

Chen Cheng never spoke, just listening to them talking about the European battlefield. Brooke was still a little resentful about landing in France, but Marshall firmly supported it.

"There are many benefits of landing in France. The Brooke and Balkans plan have too many shortcomings. Moreover, once the Soviet army defeated the German army again, the Soviet army would stand at the gate of Europe. It would be too late for us to land in France again." Marshall's words were already very clear.

If the Soviet army invaded Poland and the allies were preparing for France to land, the Soviet Union would probably not take Berlin directly, but would first take Belgium and the Netherlands, take the entire western Germany and Austria, and then seize Berlin. If this situation happened, the Soviet Union's power would expand to the entire central Europe after the war, and the Western world would be compressed in France, or even worse.

Although Brooke was not convinced, the boss had reached an agreement, and complaining was meaningless, which could only add to his annoyance. Brooke turned the topic to the Asian battlefield.

"General Chen" Brooke was very friendly: "Your ** team won several consecutive victories." But according to the report I received, two months ago, the Japanese army in North China was very empty. "Your country has as many as 500,000 troops, but your country stopped attacking. Why is this?"

Chen Cheng smiled slightly: "Yes, this is indeed the case. During the Shandong Battle, our army wiped out more than 100,000 Japanese troops, but our army consumed a lot, and the more important thing is "Logistics. Logistics cannot keep up. After the Battle of Northern Hubei, Henan, and Shandong Battle, our army recovered the vast territory. The war caused huge disasters. The war had millions of refugees in the war. Most of the materials reserved by our country were used to rescue refugees. The front-line troops only had the only ones...

Chen Cheng looked around and picked up the French bread on the plate: "I sighed at six such breads, so even though our army wanted to attack, we were really unable to attack.

Now our army is gathering in North China, and our army will fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in North China, eliminate the main force of the Japanese invading China in one battle, and completely solve the North China problem."

Speaking of this, he began to complain: "The Soviet army and the Japanese army almost lived in peace. Only after our army won the victory of the Shandong Battle, the Japanese army almost took the time to rush the troops from Mongolia and the Far East." Then he launched a limited attack in Mongolia. If the Soviet army can further strengthen the attack and force the Japanese army to no longer mobilize troops from the Soviet Russian battlefield, then we will eliminate the Japanese army's speed."

Facing Chen Cheng's accusation, "Marshall kept a smile of understanding, Brooke nodded in agreement." But before he could speak, a voice came from behind Chen Cheng.

"General Chen, your country has only one battlefield, but our country has two battlefields. Relatively speaking, we must first eliminate Germany, followed by Japan."

Chen Chengbaishen turned his head to look at it, but it was the Red Army Deputy Chief of Staff Wasseylevsky. Wasseylevsky was tall like other Russians, but what made Chen Cheng feel a little fond of was that Wasseylevsky's gaze was very gentle, not as sharp as Stalin as he had seen before.

"General Chen, I understand your complaints, but I also hope you can understand us," said Huasilevsky: "70% of the German team's strength is against Russia. In order to counter fascist Germany, we have to use all our leeways."

Huasilevsky's words were sincere and irrefutable. Marshall also agreed: "I deeply understand your country's situation. The two battlefields of the east and west arenas. However, China is more important to your country. They have assumed the main pressure on the Japanese army and have greater support for your country."

"This war is that we are one side, Germany and Japan are the other side. We need to strengthen cooperation, but they are unable to cooperate at all." Brooke said lightly.

Huasilevsky's frankness won Marshall Brook's favor, and there are such people among the always rigid GFO characters, which aroused the curiosity of the two. However, Chen Cheng and Bai Si are different. They have seen more gentle GC people, but this cannot change the slightest change when they are tough.

At this time, Bai Sitong saw Soong Mei-ling wave to him. He looked at Chen Cheng, made a gesture to another translator of the delegation, asked him to come over, and then whispered a few words in Chen Cheng's ear, apologizing to Marshall and the other two.

The banquet was almost divided into three levels according to the level. Chen Cheng's level was the second level, and Chiang Kai-shek's level was naturally the highest level. Soong Mei-ling didn't know much about Russian. During the conversation, she could only translate Stalin's words into English through the translation of Roosevelt and Churchill, and then translated them into Chinese. This made her feel very uncomfortable. Beatles and his ability to be a translator are very suitable.

After Bai Si came together, he saw Soong Mei-ling's face was very bad, and Chiang Kai-shek looked gloomy. His mood suddenly became nervous. When he started, the conversation was relatively gentle. But soon after, Stalin began to perform. He targeted Chiang Kai-shek and began to mock Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek himself was relatively dull, and Soong Mei-ling was relaxing. At first, he had not reacted, but later he gradually felt it.

Soong Mei-ling pulled Bai Sitong aside and whispered to him about the current situation, so that he could pay attention to the translation, so that he could ease the things that could be eased, and did not translate anything directly.

Only "In Russia, both generals and soldiers can drink wine. Wine is a friend of us Russians. Mr. Chairman, how can you drink water? In the eyes of Russians, wine is a friend of human beings. People who cannot drink wine are not trustworthy." Stalin had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were as ruthless as a blade.

Bai Sitong frowned. He didn't know how to translate, but Churchill laughed unceremoniously. Seeing that Bai Sitong had not translated for a long time, Chiang Kai-shek frowned and looked at him. Bai Sitong had no choice but to translate the words.

Chiang Kai-shek smiled faintly and looked at Stalin gently: "There is an old saying in China that drinking alcohol will make things worse, and alcohol is a thing that consumes will. Therefore, I call on the people of our country to drink as little as possible, and it is best not to drink alcohol, so that they can save a lot of food."

"Mr. Chairman, wine cannot destroy the will." Stalin did not intend to let Chiang Kai-shek go. The issue of the Far East and Mongolia raised by Chiang Kai-shek this afternoon made him very alert and angry. In the conversation just now, Chiang Kai-shek's weakness also caught him, that is, lack of response or lack of speaking. Now he wants to tease him well.

"No one whose will is destroyed by wine is not a strong-willed person." Stalin said, and waved his hand to summon the waiter next to him and picked up a glass of wine from his tray: "Mr. Chairman, I think you should drink alcohol, not water. Look, we are all drinking. Do you think we are all weak-willed?"

It was difficult to answer this. Chiang Kai-shek used drinking water to cover it up, and then he calmly replied: "How could it be? Although I don't like drinking, I have no prejudice against those who drink."

Bai Sitong had already thought about it and immediately changed it: "Of course not, and fortunately you were drinking, otherwise the war in the winter of Yo year would end sooner."

At today's meeting, Bethlehe understood that even at this highest meeting, there was no need to talk about feelings or give anyone any face. Diplomacy etiquette is often just superficial things, especially Stalin, who would mock others when he was unhappy, so you don't have to worry about any face when facing him.

The winter war that Bethlehem mentioned certainly did not refer to Germany, but to the Soviet Union's attack on Finland. In this war, due to Stalin's great purge in the Soviet army, the Soviet army's combat effectiveness dropped rapidly. Although he finally won, he lost all face in the early battles.

Stalin was a little stunned. He didn't expect Chiang Kai-shek's counterattack to be so sharp. Soong Mei-ling heard Belarus's counterattack from Roosevelt's translation. She secretly applauded in her heart. When her eyes rolled, she said to Stalin: "Mr. Stalin, I heard that Soviet men often get drunk and beat women after getting drunk. Is this contrary to the equality of men and women advocated by the party?"

The successive counterattacks of Soong Mei-ling and Beston Sitton made Stalin's momentum slightly setback, but neither Soong Mei-ling, Beston Sitton or Roosevelt Churchill could tell that he was frustrated and frustrated, and his expression was still so calm.

"Madam, the love of Russian men for women is not reflected outside, but requires women to savor it carefully." Stalin changed the subject: "I heard that the Chairman had been married three times, and the wife was his fourth marriage. Our Russian men's loyalty to his wife is as long as possible."

Soong Mei-ling smiled and shook her head gently: "Mr. Stalin doesn't seem to understand love. The number of marriages does not represent love. By the way, I heard that many people in the noble party are arranged by the party. Is that true?"

"This is a rumor." A hint of anger finally flashed across Stalin's face: "But there is such a situation, the two comrades formed affection at work and eventually became husband and wife."

Roosevelt smiled and interrupted: "Mr. Stalin, I agree with my wife's opinion about love. The number of marriages has nothing to do with love. Many people only find it suitable or not after getting married."

Churchill firmly opposed: "No, no, Mr. President, a gentleman cannot divorce casually."

Stalin actually had a bad relationship with his wife. He and his wife have been separated for many years. If it weren't for his status, they would have divorced long ago.

"Marriage and love are often different." Stalin played with the wine glass in his hand, and the cup was already empty: "Love is more of a fantasy of young men and women."

Bai Sitong was a little stunned. This was the head of four countries. During this international conference, he actually talked about love like a university student, and their views on love were so different.

It seems that only after reaching their level can we be free to restrain and relax in everything without any hesitation! ~!
