Chapter 369: Intervening among countries

Chiang Zhongzheng was stunned when he heard the report. American Consul Jameson Chiang Zhongzheng knew about it. - Net. Even during this period, he had asked Song Ziwen and the others to find the American Consul, hoping that he could mediate and persuade Japan to withdraw from it.

Unfortunately, Britain, the United States and other countries are now waiting and watching, so Jensen just made a few words to Song Ziwen and then passed by perfunctorily. Without domestic orders, what would Jensen use to mediate?!

But this time, Johnson came over, and Chiang Chiang thought in his heart that there must be an order from the United States. After all, Shanghai is so chaotic, Americans will definitely not be able to sit still! After all, the United States also has interests in Shanghai, so they naturally don’t want to watch Shanghai be beaten into ruins. Now that Japan has announced the increase in troops, the National Government does not know how it will correspond.

So Britain and the United States probably felt that it was time to mediate, so Jensen's visit this time was the one. Chiang Zhongzheng thought about it like this and asked someone to bring Jensen to his reception room.

Then He Yingqin, the Minister of Military Affairs, came to preside over the meeting, and he quietly went to the reception room to meet with Zhan Sen.

In the reception room of Chiang Zhongzheng, Jansen lowered his head but didn't know what he was thinking. When Chiang Zhongzheng came in, even Jansen didn't notice it. It was not until Chiang Zhongzheng laughed and greeted Jason and Jameson suddenly woke up and stood up and smiled at Chiang Zhongzheng and said, "Oh~ Commander-in-Chief, I'm glad to see you again! Your style is the same as before! Haha..."

Although Chiang Zhongzheng knew that this was just a compliment from Jensen, he still smiled very well and said with a very helpful smile: "Mr. Jensen, you are too proud! The CSI is busy with chores and things can be said to be so charming! Recently I am still having a headache about the Japanese in Shanghai!"

After hearing what Jiang Zhongzheng said, Jansen smiled and said meaningfully: "Then, I think I am here to solve this problem for Commander-in-Chief Jiang! I believe you will no longer have a headache about this matter. (--.com.)"

Chiang Zhongzheng couldn't help but feel happy when he heard what Jansen said! Are the Americans planning to intervene?! If this is the case, then I believe that the Japanese will not dare to take any action! After all, the United States has seized the lifeline of Japan's economic resources, especially those strategic materials, Japan is extremely dependent on the United States!

Moreover, Chiang Zhongzheng, who has studied in Japan, also knows that in fact, the Japanese navy belongs to the pro-American faction while the army is pro-German faction! Most of the people who advocate combat are the Japanese army, while the Japanese navy advocates the expansion of the rights to garrison and cooperation.

The two sides fought for these things, and the sky was dark, and the white knife was just about to get out of the red knife! This situation even continued to all corners of both sides. The navy looked down on the army and the army and hated the navy very much! Even the two sides kept secrets from each other's staff and combat plans!

Logistical supplies are also separated, which means that if the United States decides to interfere, with the influence of the United States and the tendency of the Japanese navy, the Japanese army is very likely to choose to stop. After all, Japan still dares not twist its tiger beard with the current influence of Britain and the United States.

"I wonder how Mr. Consul Jameson explained this?!" Chiang Zhongzheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and said indifferently to Jason. But he didn't know that Jason was secretly scolding Chiang Zhongzheng's old fox. Who doesn't know that you are anxious about the matter in Shanghai?!

If it weren't for Jiang Guangnai, Cai Tingkai and the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Commander to start a war without authorization for Chen Mingshu, you would probably have thought that Jinan would withdraw troops directly and not allow the war to start?! Jansen sneered in his heart. Don't others know, are Americans not aware of it?!

Why did Zhang Xueliang, who was being cursed in Peking now, give up his old nest without a single shot? And you, Chiang Zhongzheng, did not do any tricks afterwards, and sent someone to the Northeast Navy of Qingdao to poach! You can see these things clearly with some thoughts!

An old fox, what are you pretending to be?! If it weren’t for the outrageous emotions of the outside world, you would be afraid of becoming Zhang Xueliang’s second, and the war in Shanghai is temporarily stalemate, you might have chosen to give in, right?!

But as an old diplomat, Jansen naturally would not say that. After all, although he came to China in 1928, he became the head of the Far Eastern Affairs Department of the US State Department in 1925 and became the main maker of the US policy toward China. Since 1928, he has been appointed as the plenipotentiary of the Special Affairs of the Mission to China.

In history, Jensen's influence on the US policy toward China directly exceeded three presidents! These included Coolidge, Hoover and then Roosevelt. Jensen's own claim was: to help China restore sovereignty without affecting the interests of the United States. He suggested to Secretary of State Kellogg and Stimson to implement the intermediate route.

In short, Jensen was considered an absolute pro-China faction. During Stimson's tenure, Jensen opposed the US's intervention in the Chinese civil war. During the May 30th Movement, he opposed the US's joining the UK's action against strike workers in Guangzhou and Hankou.

In the Nanjing incident in which foreigners were killed during the Northern Expedition in 1927, Jansen opposed severe revenge on China. In response to the National Government's proposal to abolish unequal treaties in 1925, he advocated negotiations with China and concessions, advocated re-entry of tariffs, and gradually gave up extraterritorial legal rights.

The reason why Song Ziwen was able to withdraw tariffs through negotiations was inseparable from Mr. Jensen's efforts. However, after the Second Northern Expedition, Jensen gradually felt that Nanjing, which belonged to the central government, seemed too weak.

At least, after Jinan gave in, it was confirmed that Nanjing actually had a chance to win the war. Although the Yi Yi operation in the Northeast later restored some confidence in the Nanjing government, this confidence fell to the bottom again after September 18th.

The greedy face and fear of enemies in Nanjing made Jensen feel that this government does not seem to be suitable for this country and is not suitable to become an ally of the United States in Asia.

However, these are not the main reasons. The reason why Jansen's attitude changed was because of an instruction from the United States. This instruction mentioned a person, and this person seemed to be more interested in Jansen.

Therefore, Jensen's interest in Nanjing's government was greatly reduced because he found that the gentleman seemed to be more suitable to become an ally of the United States. He had helped the United States and studied in the United States! He even had a lot of cooperation with the United States.

Therefore, since then, Jensen's attitude towards the Nanjing Government has become lukewarm. He is not as enthusiastic as before, but rather has a cold attitude. This is why Jensen passed by when Song Ziwen asked him to mediate.

"Commander-in-Chief, then I won't go around in circles!" Then Jansen smiled and whispered to Chiang Chiang: "My parliament has decided to issue a diplomatic note to Japan, and is solemnly concerned about the development of the Shanghai incident. He also hopes that China and Japan can resolve the issue through peaceful negotiations."

As he said that, Jansen smiled and whispered to Chiang Chiang: "After all, only the peaceful route is in the interests of all of us. This has been recognized by the British Parliament. I believe that they will also send diplomatic notes to Japan soon. This is what France and Italy meant."

Hearing that Jensen personally confirmed that Britain and the United States were about to participate in this matter, Chiang Chiang couldn't help but feel ecstatic! But was there a little on his face, but he smiled and said in a deep voice to Jensen: "I thank Mr. Jensen for his efforts for this, and I believe those who are deeply trapped in the war will also thank you!"

When Jansen heard Chiang Zhongzheng's words, he smiled and continued: "I have another thing to talk to the commander-in-chief this time. That is about Manchuria. I hope the commander-in-chief will not talk about this matter for the time being. After all, we must first resolve the dispute in Shanghai. As for Manchuria, what should we say after the investigation results of the League of Nations come out?!"

Chiang Zhongzheng couldn't help feeling cold when he heard what Jansen said. He looked at the meaning of the Americans who seemed to want to solve the problem in Shanghai first! But this is not surprising. After all, the Yangtze River route was suspended after the war in Shanghai began.

Britain, the United States, France, Italy and other countries suffered a lot of losses, so those merchants were naturally anxious to jump! It was reasonable to urge their own governments to intervene, and although Manchuria is now in war, there are not many people who can directly link economic interests to the route.

The Japanese also paid wages to those Americans who stayed in Manchuria as usual, and admitted all the agreements signed by the United States and Zhang Xueliang before. This naturally made the Americans willing to ease up, not as anxious as Shanghai.

"Of course I understand your position and meaning~" Chiang Chiang said softly to Jansen with a smile: "Our Nanjing Government respects the League of Nations very much, so after the incident, he first requested the League of Nations investigation and did not start a war directly! Therefore, on this point, we are very confident about the League of Nations justice! Please also ask Mr. Jansen to urge the League of Nations to complete the investigation as soon as possible and give us justice!"

When Jansen heard Chiang Chiang's words, he not only felt a little moved but instead felt a little pity for the country. Idiots all know that the existence of the League of Nations actually has no meaning.

It is said that mediation is needed, but if Japan chooses to withdraw, the League of Nations will have no choice to Japan. After all, countries within the League of Nations will not choose to dispatch their own troops because of the interests of other countries.

As for economic punishment, it is irrelevant to most Japan, which relies on the United States. The interests of Manchuria are enough to make Japan decide to leave the League of Nations. Why can't Nanjing see clearly?!

Jensen couldn't help but think sadly that such a government is very good at playing with its own citizens. He provoked wars and did not give in to each other, but he did not let go of foreign wars...

However, Jansen would not say that. He didn't even bring it out at all on his face, but smiled and said to Chiang Kai-shek: "I personally appreciate the attitude of the Commander-in-Chief! And I will convey your meaning to the British Consul Mr. Lampson! I believe he will be happy to hear this news!"
