The victory or defeat of the First Battle of Changsha affected the hearts of countless people around the world.

One by one, the envoys of various countries stationed in the Republic of China secretly used their own channels to inquire about the latest progress of the war, hoping to get the latest situation as soon as possible, so as to adjust their attitude and relations towards the two countries.

After all, if the Republic of China can win the Japanese army head-on, it will be equivalent to the emergence of another military power in the world and in Asia that is not weaker than the Japanese army.

More importantly, the Republic of China has a vast land and a large population, which means that it has countless reserve soldiers, and its war potential can be described as appalling, which is definitely not comparable to the Japanese army.

To put it simply, if the Republic of China is really able to defeat the Japanese army, then the war potential and status of the Republic of China will be much lower than that of the Japanese army, and in some cases, even more important than the status of the Japanese army.

A country with 40,000,000 people, the energy he has is not just for fun.

……

Shanghai, Embassy District, Embassy of the United States in the Republic of China.

Ambassador Tang Pushen was admiring a painting and calligraphy in his office at this time, which was a calligraphy and painting from the Republic of China, which was said to be a calligrapher named 'Huang Tingjian' in ancient times of the Republic of China, which was very precious and was given by his subordinates.

For calligraphy, Tang Pushen doesn't understand, but he understands one thing, that is, this calligraphy is very precious, in other words, he is worth a lot of money, if you bring it back to China, you can definitely exchange it for a lot of beautiful knives.

As long as he knew that this piece of calligraphy could be exchanged for a lot of beautiful knives, then Thompson was already satisfied.

After pretending to appreciate it, Tang Pushen was satisfied and carefully rolled it up, and then placed it in a safe next to him - this is a beautiful knife, a valuable thing, for the sake of a beautiful knife, Tang Pushen felt that he could not be too careful.

After rolling it up, Tom nodded with deep satisfaction and said, "Very good, I like it very much!" ”

"Mr. Ambassador likes it, I'll find some for you when I get back, we are short of everything else in the Republic of China, there is no shortage of these things, what antiques and ancient paintings, a lot of them, as long as you like it, I will find them for you!"

Hearing Tang Pushen's words, a middle-aged man wearing a long shirt and holding a hat in his hand standing opposite him at this time bowed his waist slightly and said respectfully.

"President Wang is so polite, your hospitality is difficult to resist, but I will be disrespectful!" Thompson nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man opposite, that is, Chairman Wang, couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart, this foreigner is really unkind.

He was polite himself, who would have thought that this foreigner would actually beat snakes with sticks.

Now it's okay, I'll have to find him more antiques in the future, although the antiques are not worth much now, but looking at the appearance of the foreigner, if you ask him in the future, I'm afraid you will have to pay a lot of price!

Thinking like this, President Wang was even more painful.

But thinking about what I want to do is refreshing. As long as this Thompson can help him do this, there will be money in the future.

Thinking like this, I felt a little comforted in my heart.

Just as he was about to remind Thompson not to forget about himself, there was a sudden knock on the door, and what President Wang was about to say suddenly swallowed again.

"Mr. Ambassador, there's news!" A voice came from outside the door.

"Please come in!" Thompson said aloud.

The door was opened, and a stout foreigner, dressed in an American military uniform and holding a document in his hand, walked up to Thompson, saluted, and said, "Mr. Ambassador, this is the latest news!" ”

Thompson nodded, took the file, and looked at it carefully.

When President Wang saw this scene, he immediately felt a sense of pity in his heart.

"Looks like it's not going to work today!" He thought so, so he said: "Mr. Ambassador, since you have something to do now, then Wang will leave first!" I'll find some antiques when I get back, and I'll deliver them to your house in person when the time comes! ”

"Then thank you, President Wang!" Thompson bowed his head slightly and said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he seemed to think about it again, and then said: "President Wang, I will help you say hello to your affairs, please rest assured, I will definitely abide by the agreement between us, American people, the most important thing is integrity!" Of course, please don't forget my antiques, I love them! ”

Thompson spoke very directly, and after hearing this, although Chairman Wang complained a little about Thompson's directness, he was still overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, and then went out and left here.

President Wang left respectfully, and when he reached the door, he gently closed the door.

After he left, the soldier raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Ambassador, what is this?" ”

"Give me a gift! These yellow-skinned people, the favorite is this tune, but speaking of which, their ancient relics are really exquisite and valuable, if you like it, as long as you release the wind, I'm afraid that many yellow-skinned people will rush to give you these antiques! Thompson said with a smile.

Hearing this, the soldier shrugged his shoulders and looked noncommittal, and said: "Compared to these antiques, I still like their women, gentle and delicate, much better than our American women!" ”

Hearing this, Thompson and Qi looked at each other, and they both looked at each other and smiled, and it was obvious that everything was silent.

"Lieutenant Colonel Wilson, what's the situation in Changsha lately?" After skipping the topic, Thompson asked, flipping through the papers in his hand.

This soldier, that is, Lieutenant Colonel Wilson, is the military attache of the embassy, after hearing Thompson's words, he groaned slightly, and then said: "It is still scorching, the Republic of China has a strong will to fight, and those annoying little devils seem to be unable to resist, some of their elites are surrounded by the Republic of China, and they can't hold on for too long!" ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Thompson was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Although those little devils are very annoying, I have to say that their combat effectiveness is still very strong, at least in Asia, they are still very strong, and a backward country like the Republic of China can actually beat them?" It's incredible! ”

"I think it's incredible, but ...... Mr. Ambassador, this is the truth! Wilson said: "Maybe we all underestimate the Republic of China, after all, they have a lot of soldiers, and they ...... This battle is related to their national fortunes, and I think they are also at the time of desperate efforts, so that they can burst out with such a strong combat effectiveness! ”
