Chapter 498 Donate to Americans

Song Ziwen can understand why the United States has such a good attitude... politics are all the same. Americans have to drag China in this way, not want to respond to China's various demands immediately, nor do they want to break up with China. They just want to see the results of the war between MacArthur and Japan in the Philippines.

If the war is not good, then we will reach a real cooperative relationship with China and give everything we should give. Moreover, considering the losses suffered by the United States and the destruction of transportation between the eastern and western continents of the American continent, we have to put aside our attitude and recognize the dominant position of China in the Southeast Asian war. If the war goes well and MacArthur saves the Philippines, we will still have to reach a cooperative relationship with China. But if China wants to make various requests like before, we can only be a younger brother in this war, even if the United States has only tens of thousands of troops in the Philippines.

Unfortunately, as Lu Xiaojia said, the United States has not fought a war for decades. Even though many of their generals had participated in World War I, everyone knew that in World War I, the Americans were really the only one who went to the war. The "reason" for their participation in the war was that Germany had to engage in "unlimited submarine warfare" and began to attack ships of countries that did not participate in the war. When they really participated in the war, the strength of the two major military groups, the Allied and Allied countries, was extremely exhausted and their strength was also comparable. The compromise of the Red ** eliminated the disadvantages of the Allied, but the reserve forces of both sides were exhausted. This can be determined by the victory or defeat of both sides' loan reconstruction from the United States after the war. Under the premise of positional warfare, no one side could have completely defeated the other side. In this case, the United States was a new force.

The amount becomes the little mouse that pulls the radish. Without it, it cannot take Germany and defeat the Allies, but it is far from enough to have it alone. Therefore, it can only be said to be to a certain extent that the United States played an important role in World War I. However, France, which was the first in the European military at that time, was the two countries that made the United States famous in World War I. Germany and France should also be included in Germany. It was Germany's consumption of personnel that allowed the four American divisions to hang out in Europe. That is to say, if the United States intervened from the beginning of the war, it could only play a role as a servant, but it finally chose the right time. At this time, if it supports the Allies, the Allies would likely fail. However, this only proves that it cannot be a decisive force, it cannot be a full force, but a necessary force that plays an indispensable role in the appropriate time.

In other words, the Americans' war experience is far from enough.

At least in the view of Song Ziwen, a military layman, the United States has no 300,000 defenders in the Philippines, so it is impossible to fight against the 200,000 Japanese troops of Sakichi Shi. Moreover, these 300,000 people must have sufficient logistics and must be all American soldiers... But unfortunately, only a little over 30,000 of the 120,000 defenders are Americans, and nearly 90,000 others are natives of the Philippines. Song Ziwen is also very familiar with the matter in the South China Sea. The combat effectiveness of those natives in the Philippines is probably equal to that of the bandits in China, and they are just ordinary and poorly equipped bandits.

...

"It can be regarded as a promotion on the front line. Not long ago, the US Congress commended MacArthur for his unsteady protection of his 'protected nation' and granted him the rank of general."

Yan Huiqing had no good feelings for Song Ziwen. This uncle was too arrogant and always felt that this country could let them do whatever they wanted. Anyone who opposed his proposition would be rejected. If it weren't for Wang Chonghui and Qin Wei's support, he would probably have lost the qualification to sit at this negotiating table. If that were true, it would be hard to say whether the "intimacy" for the Americans shown by this uncle could still make the best interests for China, and he would probably lose a lot. However, despite his dissatisfaction, Yan Huiqing still answered Song Ziwen's question. We can't let foreigners watch their jokes.

"My teacher has never looked down on anyone. His speculation about the situation of the war has not yet happened once." Lu Xiaojia did not notice the conversation between Yan Huiqing and Song Ziwen. She was immersed in "confronting" the U.S. Secretary of State and "worship" of her teacher... She didn't feel it in China before, but after following Yan Huiqing to the United States and seeing a lot of information, she realized how powerful Professor Qin, who had always looked down on him, was. Not to mention the successive victory, even the American political axe had repeatedly suffered under Professor Qin, who had thousands of miles away. Who else in China has such skills?

"No mistakes have occurred before, which does not mean they will not happen in the future." Henry Stimson seemed to like to debate with Lu Xiaojia, the little girl they saw. "You know, America is a magical land, and miracles always happen here."

"Mr. Minister," Lu Xiaojia smiled, "You said a miracle? Then can I understand it like this: it is a very amazing thing to make my teacher speculate that it is wrong?"

"...I didn't say that." Stinson shook his head quickly. According to Lu Xiaojia's statement, if he admitted it, it would be acknowledged that Qin Wei was very amazing. But since he was a very amazing general, his speculation would naturally have a considerable degree of credibility. That is to say, he, the Minister of War, actually has no confidence in whether MacArthur can defend the Philippines. In this way, their basis for negotiations with China is gone: they will all be defeated, so why don't they ask the Chinese to help quickly?

"Well, we no longer worry about your words, although I am very happy to regard it as subconsciously because of your admiration for my teacher..."

"No, this is not subconscious. It's just a casual speech from the unconscious."

Stinson interrupted Lu Xiaojia's words again and refused to let this little girl who could be his granddaughter label him as a "Qin Wei worshiper" on his head. He is the Minister of War in the United States! He is in his seventies, so how can he afford to lose such a person? But Lu Xiaojia didn't understand his idea and still looked like he was chasing him relentlessly:

"Subconsciousness and unconsciousness seem to mean the same thing." In other words, you are still very admiring Professor Qin in our family.

"No, no, no, these are completely two meanings." Stimson firmly denied. They had already had two fights with Yan Huiqing and Lu Xiaojia. In their opinion, the old and the young are typical conspirators. Not to mention it before, just like this time, if he could not deny Lu Xiaojia's statement, then there would probably be such reports in the Washington newspaper tomorrow: the Minister of War worshipped Chinese generals, worried about the situation in the Philippines, etc. Once this happens, it will be very unfavorable to him and the current government. But they have no choice. And they don't know what the old and the young are, as if they have never considered China and the United States at all.

Who needs whom more? More than once caught their grammatical problems and caused them to be troubled by them. You must know that this kind of thing was simply unimaginable for the former Chinese ambassadors. But now the old and the young do it, and it seems that they are quite happy. But the problem is that the old and the young do not come forward themselves, but just secretly leaked the news to the reporters, so they were helpless and couldn't even ask for a ***** to the Chinese government. Of course, they can directly put forward opinions to the Chinese government and ask for the replacement of the ambassadors without any reason. However, doing so will not only hurt the feelings of the Chinese government and the feelings of the Chinese government and the feelings of them, but it will also make them feel very disappointed.

"Whether it is one meaning or two meanings, we must admit that the current situation in your country is quite unfavorable. If you just want to defend the Philippines, then we Chinese people will feel very sad about it..." Yan Huiqing changed his mind, "The Chinese people have always had a very beautiful relationship with the United States of America, especially after the United States suffered a shameless sneak attack by Japan, the Chinese people donated money and materials despite the suffering they have endured, hoping to express our condolences to the American people. However, now, your country has repeatedly refused to support China's war of resistance and support China against our common enemies... and even refused China to send troops to support your defenders in the Philippines! What exactly do you regard the friendship of the Chinese people as?"

"Miss Lu, when did we donate things to Americans?"

As the chief representative, Song Ziwen sat in the center of the Chinese representative. But Yan Huiqing's words made him unable to sit still, and he couldn't help but ask Lu Xiaojia, who was sitting on the other side of him... When did the Chinese donate things to Americans? And judging from Yan Huiqing's momentum, it seems that the money is still a lot? But now he has seized the financial power of China's political axe, why didn't he know that there was such a sum of money?

"When the Americans were attacked, we donated the money in less than two weeks, about ten days." Lu Xiaojia seemed to look at the uncle in surprise, "The first one was $520,000, the second one was $380,000, and the third one was $190,000... It was directly transferred to our embassy account through Citibank's branch in Hong Kong, and then transferred to the White House. The whole United States knows it."

"Is this happening?" Song Ziwen was stunned, "But why I don't know any news?"

"That may be because you are too busy." Lu Xiaojia shrugged and turned her head.

"I'm too busy? I can't even know such a big thing, right?" Song Ziwen felt a little disappointed in a trance. He firmly believed that the Chinese had never donated money to the United States on a large scale, or even on a small scale... Everyone should be happy. Happy that Japan finally dragged the United States of America into the circle of war. But if no one donated, where did the three donations that combined exceed one million US dollars come from? That's one million US dollars, not one million French currency! What's more,

Even if it is one million French currency, it may be a huge sum of money for ordinary Americans. Is it his brother-in-law who passed the embassy? But how could he not tell himself about the four senators who are in charge of the country's financial power for such a big deal? Song Ziwen turned to look at Yan Huiqing again, intending to get some information from the ambassador to the United States, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Hull again... The face of the US Secretary of State seemed a little bad. (To be continued.)
