To the left is Peiping, to the right is Tianjin. Yes, I am standing at the intersection. Like my colleagues, we don’t know where to go. The spokesperson of the theater command just announced today’s battle situation. The Chinese team surrounded Tianjin and completely cut off the connection between Tianjin and the outside world. Between Pingjin, in Yongding Jiangbei, the Chinese team also surrounded two Japanese divisions. I am very familiar with the number of one of them. It was the 56th Division that was annihilated in Lashio. The Japanese rebuilt this division, but today, he was surrounded again and faced the destruction of the entire army again.

In the afterglow of the sunset, red fish scales appeared in the horizon, and there was a slight smell of sulfur in the air. On the roads around, countless Chinese teams were transporting bullet and grenade food to the front line. They were like ants, carrying them on their shoulders, using ancient trolleys, horse carriages, donkey carts, and all the tools that could be transported were used.

This is a huge project. The food of two million soldiers, bullets and howitzers were transported from far away Wuhan and Chongqing. There were serious shortages of cars and trucks. The Chinese used this primitive method to transport the materials needed for the decisive battle in Pingjin to the front line.

Such transportation teams are spread throughout North China, and some transportation teams are even from south of the Yangtze River thousands of miles away. Among them are father and daughter, husband and wife, grandparents and grandchildren. Women carry children, and the elderly hold children in the front of the car. When they are hungry, they eat the wild vegetable cakes they bring, and the rice and white flour on the car are not moved at all. When they are thirsty, they drink water from the kettle. When they are tired, they lean on the haystack to rest. At night, they rest around the fire in the cold night wind. No one steals their things, and no one robs their things. They follow the Zhong** team and walk from northern Hubei to Tianjin.

There is only one wish, victory!

The night wind brought the sound of cannons from afar. Oh, no, that was an illusion. It was hundreds of miles away from the front line. It was impossible to hear the sound of cannons. During the entire battle, I was in the headquarters, but I could only be at the headquarters base. The courtyard responsible for the command could not be entered. Even if I had seven years of dating Commander Zhuang, it would not work.

Seven years ago, I met Zhuang in Nanjing. At that time, he told me that China would not lose this war, and China would definitely win the final victory. Seven years have passed, and the process of the war has verified his words step by step, and China is winning..."

Webber gently put down his pen and opened the window. A cold wind blew into his face. The stars in the night sky were dotted. He gently rubbed his face. Only then did he feel that he had not shaved for several days. So he picked up the water bottle, poured the hot hot water into the basin, threw the towel into the basin, and then opened the drawer to prepare to get a razor. At this time, several figures walked past the window. He couldn't help but be stunned after seeing it clearly.

"Stilwell? Why is he here?" Webber said to himself, his eyes full of doubt.

The figure passing by outside the window was Stilwell, and there were eight other Americans, one of them was Major General Bhoun, the former deputy head of the advisory group.

Webber lives in the Lu family courtyard, but the East Courtyard. It was designated as a temporary guesthouse, of course the simplest guesthouse, with only a few rooms. Now he and Mei Youlan live here, but now it seems that Stilwell is going to move in.

Weber shaved while thinking, why did Stilwell appear here? What did he do in the North China War Zone? In Myanmar, due to his reasons, Zhuang Jihua was driven out of the Expeditionary Force. His relationship with Zhuang Jihua was very bad. Why did he arrive in the North China War Zone again? As he thought about it, a sudden pain was caused. The blade cut through the skin. He reached out to touch it. It was sticky. He quickly pressed the wound, shaved his beard, and then took out his luggage bag. At this moment, the door was knocked. Mei Youlan pushed the door in. Seeing Weber covering his face, she couldn't help but burst into laughter and hurried over to help him stick the wound.

Mei Youlan helped him and said, "Guess who I saw just now?"

"Is Stilwell?" Webber's voice was a little dull.

"You saw it too, what did he do here? Well, let's make trouble again."

Due to Zhuang Jihua's reasons, Stilwell was ruined. Not only did the Chinese generals in the North China War Zone, but even Chinese journalists were not interested in him, but he felt very good.

Weber smiled slightly. As an American, he was not good at evading Stilwell, but he believed that Stilwell made serious mistakes in his relationship with Zhuang Jihua. To put it simply, it was a common mistake made by most Westerners. He ignored the Chinese's ideas and always wanted to impose his ideas on the Chinese.

"Maybe the highest levels of China and the United States have made another decision. You Americans are really there. Can't you send someone else? Isn't this a mess?" Mei Youlan spoke without any restraint in private, but only Weber and the others knew about this.

Weber didn't want to talk about this topic, and he also thought that Stilwell's trip to the North China War Zone was not very appropriate, but he didn't want to talk about it, so he changed the topic: "Mei, what do you think of the Xinjiang rebellion?"

Mei Youlan curled her mouth and said contemptuously: "What's the matter? My brother has long decided that something will happen. Stalin's thief is undead. Tehran's request will never let go easily. The Xinjiang rebellion is the one that he will push behind him."

Weber nodded slightly. This judgment was a judgment that almost everyone in the headquarters agreed. Weber also agreed that the Xinjiang rebellion was driven by the Soviet Union, but the news and newspapers in the past two days have been a bit abnormal.

In Chongqing, the Central Daily News advocated the quelling of rebellion by force, and the Lion Dance Weekly clearly demanded that the government quell the rebellion. However, the Xinhua Daily published a long serial report and published the ins and outs of the rebellion in Xinjiang. It was believed that the offering movement that began last year caused rebellion by all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. It was believed that the biggest enemy at present was the Japanese, and it was best to resolve the rebellion in Xinjiang by peaceful means. The view of the Xinhua Daily was supported by democratic parties such as Deng Yanda, and the argument for a peaceful resolution was rampant.

"Yan'an's attitude is just a replica of the Soviet-Russian attitude." Mei Youlan continued, "I don't think this step can be given up. We must quell the rebellion by force, otherwise there will be no need to know how much trouble will happen to Mongolia and Northeast China in the future."

Weber smiled and nodded: "Let's go out for a walk and see if we can meet General Stilwell and maybe get something."

Mei Youlan's words actually represent Zhuang Jihua's meaning. Yuzhou Evening News firmly advocated quelling the rebellion in the Xinjiang rebellion, but Zhuang Jihua's representatives in Chongqing, Zhang Jingjiang and Mr. Mei, remained silent and did not express any opinions. This state made the political forces in all aspects of Chongqing a little strange. No political force would underestimate this general who had a huge influence in the military, government and civilians. Everyone was waiting for him to express his opinion and prepared for his opinion.

The two went out and walked slowly out along the stone road in the courtyard. The greening of the courtyard was done well. The shadows of the trees were swaying under the moonlight. The guards in the courtyard were relatively loose. The west courtyard where the war room was located and the backyard where Zhuang Jihua lived were very strict. Not only did they have mobile posts at the door, but they also had mobile posts in the courtyard, and they could not enter without a document.

Sure enough, the two soon met Stilwell and Breen. Stilwell and Breen were standing in the promenade at the door chatting. After seeing Weber and May Youlan, Breen greeted them first, while Stilwell nodded and said hello. "General, I really didn't expect to meet you here." Weber also smiled at Stilwell.

Mei Youlan changed her smile at this time: "General Stilwell, I thought you were in Myanmar."

Stilwell reluctantly smiled and said: "The US government believes that the US team should play a greater role in eliminating the Japanese. I went to the North China War Zone to serve as the commander of the US military in the North China War Zone and also served as the Chief of Staff of the North China War Zone."

Brann smiled in his heart. Stilwell knew that Weber and Mei Youlan were trusted by Zhuang Jihua. Sooner or later, his words to the two would reach Zhuang Jihua's ears. He reminded Zhuang Jihua that he represented the US government, and your attitude towards me was toward the US government.

It seemed that Stilwell was not confident, Bran said in his heart that they flew to Dade County in the evening, and after dinner in De County, they went to the headquarters. During this process, Zhuang Jihua just sent a lieutenant to Jinan to greet and accompany them to the headquarters.

"What were you talking about just now?" Bran did not give Mei Youlan the chance to ask a question. He had already heard the dissatisfaction in Mei Youlan's words, so he decided to take the initiative and control them.

"Oh, Mr. Weber believes that the rebellion in Xinjiang is a conspiracy of the Soviet Union, but now we should focus our efforts on dealing with the Japanese first, and we can negotiate with the rebels in Xinjiang for the time being." Mei Youlan said: "However, I don't agree. I think we should firmly quell the rebellion. I wonder which of our views the two generals agree with?"

Webber burst into laughter. Mei Youlan is getting more and more skilled. When she was in Shanghai, although she was full of enthusiasm, she lacked skills. Now she is not only passionate but also her skills are becoming more and more mature. Mei Youlan knows Stilwell's attitude towards her, so it may be difficult to interview him directly, so she went with the flow and tried to eliminate and fight.

Breen was speechless. Before coming, Weidemai told them clearly that the US government's attitude towards the Xinjiang rebellion was not supported or expressed, and that China and the Soviet Union would negotiate and resolve the matter themselves. But this statement cannot be said explicitly, nor can it be said by them.

"In my opinion, Xinjiang rebellion has a deep background, not enough, as Mr. Weber said, we should defeat the Japanese fascism first." Stilwell spoke, Breon's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly resolved: "I don't think so. We can suppress the rebellion, after all, the rebels are not very powerful."

As he said that, Brene gave Stilwell a wink. Stilwell told him with his eyes that he had understood what he meant. Brene deliberately turned out to be what Stilwell said. He told reporters in this way that Stilwell's opinion just now could only represent him personally, not the proposition of the US government.

Weber also interrupted at this time: "Xinjiang is too far from the mainland and its impact is limited. What I am worried about is the impact of this matter on Sino-Soviet relations. If this leads to the breakdown of Sino-Soviet relations, it will be more than worth the loss."
