Commodity's impression of the Nationalist Government is actually quite good.
In particular, Zhong Yi, the mayor of Yinjiang, gave Kang Maode a strong illusion, feeling that many officials of the national government were actually very capable.
At that moment, Commodus frowned and retorted: "At most, this is a mess of the officials of the Military Service Department, and it shouldn't have much to do with the entire national government, right?" Not to mention corruption and incompetence. ”
"That's because you didn't go to Chongqing!" Stilwell said in a deep voice, "If you had been to Chongqing for a field trip, you would definitely not say that." ”
"Chongqing?" "What's wrong with Chongqing? ”
"There is no problem in Chongqing, it is the officials in Chongqing who have the problem." Stilwell shook his head and said, "But any government official who cares about the country, but any senior general who has a sense of responsibility and mission, how can he be greedy for personal enjoyment at such a moment?" But if you go to Chongqing, how many government officials are seriously doing things for the government? And how many high-ranking generals take the country as their own responsibility? All I saw was drunkenness, dreams, death, and pleasures. ”
Commodus was skeptical when he heard it, but Zhong Yi was very clear.
Because according to historical records, the Kuomintang did accelerate its corruption after the Sino-Japanese War entered the stalemate stage.
After a pause, Stilwell said again: "Let's put it this way, whenever it is late at night, Chongqing is really full of lights, sheng songs are everywhere, all mansions compete to hold dance parties, and countless officials and generals gather together to play mahjong, let's say a number, since the Nationalist Government moved the capital to Chongqing at the end of last year, the number of dancers in Chongqing has surged more than tenfold!" ”
"What?" Commodus was dumbfounded, "Why has the number of dancers increased so much?" ”
"Because there is demand in the market, because those high-ranking government officials and high-ranking generals need dancers to accompany them for entertainment." Stilwell said angrily, "And those female students are also willing to become dancers, because the income from being a dancer is enough to support a large family, which is very difficult in the current troubled times." ”
Commodus was dumbfounded again.
It sounds like Chongqing's customs industry is very developed.
After a long time, Commodus said again: "So, there is really no hope for China?" ”
"There is definitely no hope for the national government." Stilwell shook his head and added, "But China, perhaps, still has a glimmer of hope." ”
After a pause, Stilwell continued: "China's hope is in Yan'an, in the Communist Party of China!" ”
"Yan'an?" Commodus frowned and said, "The Communist Eighth Route Army is only a few tens of thousands, can it save China?" ”
"That was a year ago." Stilwell waved his hand and said, "This time I went to Shanxi, and I also went to the base of the Eighth Route Army to investigate, and I found an amazing fact!" ”
"Really?" Commodus said, "What did you find?" ”
Stilwell said: "Compared with when the Eighth Route Army first entered the war two years ago, the scale of the Eighth Route Army has expanded more than tenfold, and now the entire Eighth Route Army in the north is combined, and I estimate that it has exceeded 400,000!" ”
Stilwell still has some ability, and this estimate is very accurate.
"Sell cakes!" Commodus said in surprise, "The Eighth Route Army has expanded to 400,000?!" ”
Stilwell nodded, and said, "The Eighth Route Army has not only expanded its numbers tenfold, but they are also highly disciplined, especially their party members and cadres, who are really very clean!" ”
Speaking of this, Stilwell said: "It's just that the current situation of the Eighth Route Army is not optimistic, because the Japanese army has transferred a large number of front-line troops back to North China, and is carrying out a brutal sweep of the various base areas they have founded. ”
Commodus nodded and said: "Yes, it is said that the Japanese army stopped the frontal battlefield offensive because the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army have become a prairie fire in North China, which has completely wiped out the strategy of fighting to feed the war formulated by the Japanese government before the war, so it is completely conceivable that the Communist Eighth Route Army will definitely be wiped out by the Japanese army in the future." ”
"But as long as the Communist Eighth Route Army can survive this, they will become stronger!" Stilwell said, "I am ready to report the results of my inspection to the White House and the Pentagon truthfully, and I believe that Mr. President and the Joint Chiefs of Staff will carefully consider whether it is necessary to assist the CCP!" ”
Hearing this, Zhong Yi subconsciously shook his head, because it was very difficult, or basically impossible to achieve.
There is an irreconcilable fundamental contradiction between the CCP and the United States, and this fundamental contradiction is that the CCP does not recognize the unequal treaties signed with the Western powers since the Opium War! Even during the Beiyang years, the Beiyang warlords used customs duties and salt taxes as collateral for loans, and the CCP did not recognize them, which was not allowed by the United States.
Speaking of this, Stilwell said again: "Zhong, I heard that you did a good job in Yinjiang? ”
"It's not bad." Commodus hurriedly replied, "It's a good situation." ”
"However, no matter how good the situation is, it is next to the sea." Stilwell shook his head and said, "And Japan happens to have the third most powerful navy in the world and the first in Asia, Zhong, do you know what I mean?" ”
Zhong Yi smiled silently, he understood what Stilwell meant, and he was already preparing for it.
Stilwell understood the meaning of the smile on Zhong Yi's face, shook his head and said: "Zhong, please forgive me for saying that Yinjiang will still be lost after all, so you don't have to spend your heart and soul in the urban area, I suggest that you focus on Siming Mountain, you can actually follow the example of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, and even ......"
At this, Stilwell suddenly paused.
After not hearing Stilwell say anything for a long time, Commodus couldn't help but ask, "Or even what?" ”
Stilwell stared at Zhong Yi's eyes and said, "Even, you can join them!" Believe me, there is no hope for the Kuomintang and the Nationalist Government, and only the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army can really save China. ”
Zhong Yi couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, but secretly wondered in his heart, what did you say?
Why haven't I seen Stilwell for half a year, but he has become a friend of my party? Or even took the initiative to be a lobbyist?
At that moment, Zhong Yi said: "I have no contact with the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army, and I don't know much about it. ”
"Then you should reach out to them." Stilwell added, "Trust me, you'll like them, appreciate them, identify with them until you join them." ”
Stilwell's lobbying was really unsparing.
But this also shows how disappointed he is in President Chang and the Kuomintang.
This is also clearly recorded in the history books, Stilwell really hated Principal Chang, and even openly called Principal Chang Peanut in his diary, which is undoubtedly very rare.
