Chapter 890 Get the money
Roosevelt and the others heard Stilwell say that China is very strong, even if it singles out two countries, it will not be destroyed, and the others don't believe it at all, and Roosevelt doesn't believe it either, he hopes that Stilwell can explain it.
When Stilwell heard Roosevelt's words, he opened the box and took out the documents inside.
"Your Excellency, Commander, and other colleagues, this information was written by me and Jensen, and many other observers over there, and this is a little thing that we have written with our hearts.
Those of us are very in awe and admiration for China, and it is really not easy for them to be able to fight like this with Japan, before their country, not to mention weapons, they could not produce ammunition, but now, their country is not only able to produce weapons and ammunition, but also the best in the world.
We admire such a country very much, therefore, we have written these things, I hope you can read them, when the time comes, it will be helpful for your decision-making, to be honest, as long as we fully cooperate with China, I dare to say, Japan will not be able to destroy our country. Stilwell opened the box and spoke to the men.
When those people heard it, they all looked at him strangely!
"Okay, let's take a look at the information first, but, General Stilwell, would you like to give us a brief explanation as well?" Roosevelt heard it, nodded, and said to Stilwell.
"No, I won't say it, you can watch it first, and when you finish reading, I'll talk about it!" Stilwell shook his head.
"Okay, let's take a look first, are you going to continue the meeting with us here, or?" Roosevelt spoke.
"I'm a little tired, and I haven't been home for a long time, I want to go home first and rest for a while, I don't know what His Excellency the President and His Excellency the Commander mean?" Stilwell spoke.
"Okay, let's go back and rest, tomorrow you come here, let's continue to have a meeting, discuss how we can cooperate with China, how about it?" Roosevelt nodded, looked at Stilwell, and said.
"Okay, thank you, Your Excellency." Stilwell nodded with a smile, and Marshall also said to Stilwell: "After the meeting tomorrow, you go to the staff department, we still have a lot to discuss with you, I hope you can provide more suggestions." ”
"Okay!" Stilwell nodded in agreement.
Soon, Stilwell left the conference room, and at this time, the people in the conference room took the materials written by Stilwell and read it, and several of them read a copy first, and after reading it, they exchanged looks at each other, and they didn't finish reading it until they saw it late.
At this time, those people's hearts were full of shock, quite shock, they didn't know China at all, and they didn't know that China had gone through so much suffering.
"This information is very important and very helpful for us to understand China, and I suggest that tomorrow we make a copy of this information and send it to those parliamentarians, so that they can also know that China is not what we imagined, and that we still lack understanding of China." Roosevelt was shocked when he read the documents, so he spoke to the members of the cabinet and the people in the army.
"Totally agree, if I had seen such a document before, I would not have hesitated to go to China, then last time we fully reached a comprehensive agreement. Ay! Marshall nodded, and the others nodded, fully agreeing with what Roosevelt had just said.
"Alright, it's not too early, let's go back and rest first, come here at 8 o'clock tomorrow, by the way, remember to inform General Stilwell, we want him to participate in our meeting tomorrow." Stilwell said as he looked at Marshall.
"Understood." Marshall nodded and said.
After those people left, Roosevelt sat in the conference room and thought about it for a while, then sighed, regretting in his heart, he knew that he should have invited the two commanders of China to visit the United States a long time ago, and now it is not easy to invite them.
Judging from the above information just now, China is now inclined not to go to war, once they completely beat the Japanese troops out of China, they may not fight, if so, it will be a huge bad news for the United States!
At this time, on the Chinese side, it was already the next morning, and Commander Mao in Yan'an saw a telegram from the Soviet Union, saying that he wanted China to help them with a batch of new weapons.
At the same time, Commander Mao now ordered to start a war with Japan in the northeast to reduce the pressure on their troops in the Far East, and now the Soviet Union also knows that their situation is very dangerous, Japan and Germany have a large number of troops gathered in the border areas of the Soviet Union, once the war starts, the Soviet Union may not be able to win, because of the previous purge activities within the Soviet Union, so that many experienced generals have been killed.
Now in the army, there are not enough experienced generals at all, and besides, they find that their country's weapons and equipment are inferior to Germany, so Stalin immediately sent a telegram to Commander Mao, hoping that China would help them with a batch of weapons!
"Hmph, now I think of us, when we asked for your assistance, you all came to Chongqing, and you also recognized that the Northeast belonged to Japan, and you also robbed me of Inner Mongolia, when we didn't have a temper? And want our help! Hum! Why did you go early! The commander stood up, lit a cigarette, and snorted coldly.
"Commander, what are you busy with?" At this time, the deputy commander came over with a few documents and looked for the deputy commander.
"Well, look at it, it was sent from the Soviet Union!" The commander-in-chief nodded, and gave the telegram to the deputy commander-in-chief to read it.
"They sent us a telegram?" The deputy commander was stunned for a moment, looked at the commander and asked.
"Ha, knowing that he is in danger now, he is also afraid of Germany, we asked them for help before, but there was no reaction at all, the ambassador of the Soviet Union is still so arrogant, now I know that I am afraid!" The commander said with a sneer.
The deputy commander heard it, nodded, and looked at it carefully.
"No way, we can't give them 100,000 guns and 100 million bullets, we don't need money for weapons, we don't need money for ammunition, just kidding, I don't agree." When the deputy commander-in-chief saw the request from the Soviet side, he immediately said.
Now the deputy commander-in-chief needs a lot of funds here, because this year's troops in Yan'an have laid down a lot of places, and these places will be built, and money will be needed to build, and now the deputy commander-in-chief is worried about where to get money.
Although he still has more than 100 million meters of gold in his hand and more than 30 million oceans, he still feels that it is still not enough, and one money will be broken into two flowers, and now seeing that the Soviet Union wants so many weapons, how can the deputy commander-in-chief agree.
The commander saw the deputy commander like this, and smiled, knowing that he was not willing to slip a penny out of his hand now.
"And attack the Northeast, now?" The deputy commander continued to look at the telegram, and after seeing the content behind it, he raised his head to look at the commander and asked. The Commander nodded.
"Absolutely not, there is no reason for this, fight in winter, and our logistics are not ready, fight now, how many soldiers are we ready to sacrifice, what does he take us for, we are Chinese, not he Soviet, really, commander, you can't promise ah." The deputy commander looked at the commander and said.
"Promise? Ha! The commander heard this and sneered.
"That's good!" The deputy commander saw the commander's attitude and was much more relieved.
"By the way, what's the matter with you?" The commander looked at the deputy commander who still had a few documents in his hand, and immediately asked.
"Oh, yes, this is about the appointment of the Executive Yuan in North China, which we just got down, and here's this, about the plans and budgets for education in the places that we occupied in the second half of this year.
After the beginning of spring next year, we will prepare 100,000 teachers and classrooms so that our children everywhere can go to school! There is also this document, which is about the economic development plan of those newly recovered places. These are all required for your signature. The deputy commander took the papers and handed them to the commander-in-chief.
"Oh, this is a big deal, I'll see!" When the commander heard this, he immediately paid attention to it, took the document handed by the deputy commander, and looked at it carefully.
"Commander, there's not enough money!" The deputy commander said to the commander who was reading the documents.
"How much is missing?" The commander asked, looking at the papers.
"At least 200 million oceans, this is still next year's expenses, we can't find so much money! Originally, we needed 400 million oceans, of which 200 million oceans, we can receive taxes next year, but there is still a gap of 200 million oceans, and we don't have so much money. The deputy commander looked at the commander and said worriedly.
"So much?" The commander heard this, and looked up at the deputy commander in surprise.
"What do you think, this is still the least, if our troops can capture the northeast next year, then it is estimated that it will increase the cost by 100 million." The deputy commander looked at the commander and said.
When the commander heard it, he was in no mood to read the document, this is not a difference of 1 million 2 million, but hundreds of millions.
"Commander, there is still a balance of $50 million on the troops' side, you have to get some for me from there!" The deputy commander spoke.
"That's not going to work. The boss will always be mad with me, they still have a lot of projects to launch next year, and the army's expenses next year will be tens of millions of oceans, and now he has no money. The commander immediately shook his head and said.
"So what to do, I've thought of all the ways I can think of." The deputy commander heard that the commander refused, and looked at the commander helplessly and asked.
"Oh, it's really not that easy to govern a country, especially us, poor and white, nothing! Every step is so difficult, hey! The commander touched his forehead and sighed.
"Otherwise, let the troops sell some weapons again, and that's the only way to do it now." The deputy commander looked at the commander and proposed.
"Somebody's got to need that." The commander said immediately. (To be continued.) )
