7.21 Take more quickly

Chen Bui waited until the applause in the hall stopped before he walked to the side of the highest authority to say hello, the highest authority was obviously still calm in the surprise that Huang Haoran brought him just now, and now seeing Chen Bui, the highest authority naturally wants to "publicize":

"Bray! Just in time! Take a look at this statement from Youchen! If I hadn't seen him do it on the spot, I would have thought it was your handiwork! I didn't expect it... Youchen is not only like a god in his soldiers, but also has outstanding literary talents!! It's really the pride of my Whampoa! ”

Chen Bui has been favored by the highest authorities for so many years, in addition to his outstanding literary talent, his delicate mind is also a very important factor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is a reason why the highest authorities are so happy. Ever since the "Whampoa system" has grown big in the government, some opposition parties have semi-openly said that the "Whampoa students" of the highest authorities are nothing more than a group of mad dogs who only know how to obey the orders of their masters! It's either a martial artist or a sour literati! They are not qualified to serve in the government at all. Such statements have kept the highest authorities in their hearts!

Among the "Whampoa students" of the highest authorities, there are generals who can fight wars, and there are also outstanding civil officials, but they just can't find a civilian and military all-rounder! Now that Huang Haoran has jumped in front of the highest authorities all of a sudden, how can he not make the highest authorities overjoyed?

In terms of military exploits, Huang Haoran fought in Shanghai and defended Nanjing, and there were several Japanese generals who died under him, and no one else in the army could beat him! As soon as this statement on Japan was issued again, it once again confirmed the title of "Wen Zhuangyuan" in the army!

Now the highest authorities are not allowed to raise their eyebrows in the government?

The highest authority pointed his finger at Lin Wei as he spoke, and Lin Wei carefully handed the just-written statement to Chen Bui. After Chen Bui took it, he hurriedly glanced at it a few times, and then looked at the smiling supreme authority, so his decisive decision was the icing on the cake!

"Good! Good! What a splendid article! What's even more rare is to be able to do it without making drafts in one go! Commission! General Huang's statement has actually surpassed my realm, and it is impossible for me to do it in one go without changing a word......"

Huang Haoran was not surprised by Chen Bui's evaluation, he was originally "copying" Chen Bui's article, and the highest authorities had already praised him first, where did Chen Bui dare to say anything that disagreed?

Everyone carries the sedan chair, Chen Bui must know this truth!

Although he was very uninterested in Chen Bui's praise in his heart, Huang Haoran still gave Chen Bui a grateful smile.

Since everyone is acting, let's just make a full set......

Seeing that Chen Bui also praised Huang Haoran's article, the highest authorities felt that Huang Haoran was an outstanding talent! The highest authorities suddenly remembered that he had to meet with the Soviet ambassador this morning, so the top authorities wanted to hear Huang Haoran's opinion first.

"Youchen, looking at the words of this statement you wrote against Japan, you should have some understanding of diplomatic matters. Today, Soviet Ambassador Bogomolov is coming to Lushan to meet with me about the government's loan to the Soviet Union. ”

This question from the highest authority surprised everyone in the hall, and it stands to reason that Huang Haoran's opinion should not be asked at all for such a diplomatic matter. But now that the supreme authorities are on the rise, no one wants to do something that might ruin the supreme authorities.

Seeing that the question of the highest authority related to the Wuhan government's next foreign policy, "Madame" immediately pricked up her ears, but her face was still unfazed.

Huang Haoran was also a little surprised by the question of the highest authority, although he had been waiting for the highest authority to mention the Soviets from morning to now, but now that the matter is approaching, Huang Haoran is a little hesitant!

It was not easy for him to throw off the hat of "supporting the army and respecting himself" for himself and the 25th Group Army, and if he accidentally said something that did not suit the wishes of the highest authorities, he might be buttoned up with a colored hat! That's a problem!!

Don't look at the fact that the supreme authorities now offer the Red Soviet Union like an ancestor, in fact, he is still very resistant to the Soviet Union in his heart! Accepting Soviet aid and Soviet advisers was nothing more than an expedient measure of the highest authorities! Jiang Baili told Huang Haoran that the first batch of Soviet advisers sent by the Soviet Union to China have not been given any decent positions until now, in fact, this is the real attitude of the highest authorities towards the Soviets!

There is also the pro-American tendency of "Madame", Huang Haoran also has to consider!

The marriage ceremony held in 1927 at the Majestic Hotel in Shanghai by the highest authorities and the "Madame" is still called "Sino-American (Age) Cooperation" in a pun, which is actually very revealing.

Even the highest authorities themselves were baptized at Jinglin Church on Kunshan Road in Hongkou, Shanghai, at the urging of the "Madame", and became a Christian.

It is already clear which of the two countries, the USSR and the United States, has more weight in the minds of the "first family"!

Therefore, Huang Haoran must not show any "pro-Soviet" tendencies now, and who knows if this is another test given to Huang Haoran by the highest authorities?

The highest authorities also felt that it was a little inappropriate after raising the question, and it was a bit of a joke to ask Huang Haoran about such a major diplomatic matter......

So the highest authorities began to use words to make up for it, and in the name of relieving Huang Haoran's pressure, the highest authorities directly downgraded his problem level:

"Youchen, don't be pressured, this is just gossip between you and me, I declare in advance that nothing can be done! Don't take it seriously! ”

The explanation of the highest authority inevitably had a taste of the three hundred taels of silver here, and the "madam" couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker. In order not to embarrass the highest authorities, Huang Haoran quickly began to pretend to be blind. Chen Bui, who was sitting next to him, was even higher, and directly became an old monk who had entered the meditation. Lin Wei stared at the ceiling in a daze, without the slightest expression on his face.

The guys who can eat around the highest authorities are really all characters!

After pondering for a moment, Wong Haoran put forward a suggestion that he felt was both pertinent and not offensive to the highest authorities, in light of the actual developments in history:

"Take a seat! On the issue of Soviet aid, I advocate four words, that is, 'ask for more' and 'take it quickly'......! ”

Huang Haoran's somewhat presumptuous and almost straightforward suggestion not only did not make the supreme authorities feel unhappy, but gave the supreme authorities a refreshing feeling! Even the curiosity of "Madame" was hooked by Huang Haoran's words, and a room full of people were waiting for Huang Haoran to explain what it meant to "ask for more" and what it meant to "take it quickly......

Seeing that the guanzi he sold had received excellent results, Huang Haoran breathed a sigh of relief, and then he continued unhurriedly:

"It is up to you to decide what kind of posture the government will take in the negotiations! We have to figure out the relationship between us and the USSR first! This starts with the external environment of our country and the Soviet Union...... The main reason why the Soviets are willing to help us is that the situation in Europe is not very peaceful now, and if we do not hold back the Japanese in Asia, then the Soviet Union will most likely encounter war on both the eastern and western fronts! Such a situation is something that Stalin absolutely did not want!! It is precisely because the Soviet Union and our country have a common enemy in Asia--- Japan, that it is possible for us to ask the Soviet Union for more loans! As for the external situation in our country, it is much simpler...... In the short term, except for the Soviet Union, there is simply no country willing to provide large arms aid to us, in fact, we have no choice! The Japanese pointed at Xuzhou, in fact, they were paving the way for their next attack on Wuhan! If our army cannot be replenished with a large amount of arms in the short term, then we will be at an absolute disadvantage in the upcoming battle of Wuhan! So no matter what conditions and requirements the USSR is putting forward now! As long as it does not touch the root of the government, we should all accept it! And also to increase the intensity of the appeal to the USSR! The most ideal outcome I envisage is that in one to two years we will receive at least 40 infantry divisions and more than 500 combat aircraft from the USSR! In this way, our army can have the basic combat strength to resist the Japanese invaders! Just like Adviser Jiang Baili said, the war between us and the Japanese is a protracted war, and I am afraid it will last for a long time! The planes, heavy artillery and combat vehicles of the Soviets are all a much-needed addition right now! We have to 'ask for more' from the Soviet Union so that we can change our breath......"

Huang Haoran's words completely shocked the highest authorities! He didn't expect Huang Haoran's appetite to be so big!! 40 infantry divisions with armament and more than 500 combat aircraft! It's like a lion's mouth! Will the Soviets be able to promise?

Without waiting for the highest authorities to express his doubts, Chen Bui opened his mouth first, as the "literary courage" of the highest authorities, Chen Bui is not just able to write articles. Diplomacy, politics, Chen Bui has been involved, and the level is not bad!

In Chen Bui's view, Huang Haoran's idea is good, and he has also grasped some key points in the game between China and the Soviet Union. But how could the Soviets be so obedient? If China wants polar bears to bleed hemorrhage, it has to come up with something to attract the Soviets, right? In order to obtain these loans, the Wuhan government had pledged all the valuable things in its hands to the Soviets, and according to the agreement, the Soviet Union's loan assistance to China was barter loan assistance. The reimbursement was provided annually by the Chinese Government to the Soviet Union with large quantities of tea, leather, animal hair, antimony, tin, zinc, nickel, tungsten, silk, cotton, tung oil, medicinal herbs, and red copper. The specific type and quantity of goods to be delivered shall be determined by the Soviet side.

Chen Bui really can't think of anything else that the government can come up with in exchange with the Soviets! Do you want to cede the land? Chen Bui knows that polar bears have always been very interested in land, but this traitorous black cauldron is not easy to carry! Chen Bui doesn't think that the highest authorities have the courage to commit such a public outrage!

"General Huang! The old man admires your insight and understanding of the international situation, but the Soviets are not here to help us for free! Loan! After all, it has to be returned! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has put all the resources that the government can still control on the negotiating table, and the total amount of Soviet aid in exchange for it is probably less than 30% of what General Huang envisioned! I don't know what General Huang can do to get the Soviets to continue to increase the amount of loans, you must know that Lao Maozi is not a good type! I'm afraid that there will be some non-centrific demands at that time! In that case, don't do this increased loan! ”

Chen Bui's words made the brows of the highest authorities furrow. The highest authorities did not want to solicit more assistance from the Soviets, but just as Chen Bui feared, the supreme authorities also believed that the Soviets would not do anything that was not rewarded. It is better not to say it at all than to be rejected and ridiculed by Stalin after saying it! Huang Haoran's bold remarks, the highest authorities also feel that it is a bit too wishful thinking!

"It starts with what the Soviets want from us...... The signing of the "Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact" between the Soviets and us was actually a warning to the Japanese! In fact, we understood it this way at the time, but with the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, everyone thought that this treaty had lost its role, but in my eyes it was not! Mr. Bray might as well think about it....As soon as the "Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact" was signed, the Japanese set off a war in Beiping! Didn't the Soviets feel that they had lost face? Give us military aid, in fact, there is also an element of revenge against the Japanese! The Soviets want us to make the Japanese pay! As long as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses to the USSR the government's determination to resist the war! Tell the Soviets that even in the occupied areas, the government would send troops to carry out guerrilla warfare and make it difficult for the Japanese to sleep. Of course, at the same time, we have to tell the Soviets that China has a large number of reservists who cannot be put into the war against the Japanese because they have no weapons, so we can't completely trap the Japanese in the Chinese battlefield! The pros and cons of this, the Soviets themselves will weigh up! I think they'll be willing to solve the problem for us eventually! Perhaps, we will end up with more supplies than I thought! ”

The highest authorities understood what Huang Haoran meant, and Huang Haoran was accusing the Wuhan government's diplomats of putting their posture too low in negotiations with the Soviets! So much so that the Soviets manipulated the entire loan negotiations, and the Wuhan government was left with only the power to cooperate with the signing!

Actually, China and the USSR should be a cooperative relationship! And not the USSR to come to the rescue of China! Stalin needed the highest authorities to drag the million-strong army of the Japanese, why couldn't the highest authorities use the Japanese to knock the Soviets on the bamboo poles? You Soviets want the Chinese and the Japanese to fight hard, then you have to bleed! If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had been able to grasp the proportions, it would have been possible to get more aid from the Soviet Union!

The more the highest authorities think about it, the more they feel that there is a door! Huang Haoran's remarks provided a new set of ideas for the Wuhan government's policy toward the Soviet Union! The highest authorities intend to try it in the negotiations with the Soviet ambassador in a moment!

Huang Haoran has explained the meaning of "more", but what does "take it quickly" mean? The highest authorities are now desperate to find out!

In just ten minutes, Huang Haoran's status in the minds of the highest authorities has risen again, and after he explained the meaning of "more wants", the highest authorities added the words "diplomatic genius" to his evaluation of Huang Haoran! A diplomatic genius who is both civil and military! At this moment, the highest authorities and the "lady" looked at Huang Haoran as if they were looking at a huge diamond! And it's a loose diamond!

If you polish it again, what kind of bright light will Huang Haoran emit? "Madame" couldn't help but feel a little uneasy......

"Madame" began to calculate in her heart! She wants to find a matching "lifelong partner" for Huang Haoran! After seeing Huang Haoran's "ghost talent" with her own eyes, "Madame" now very much wants to find a reason to tie Huang Haoran to the small circle of the highest authorities! What could be more closely linked to the "first family" and Huang Haoran than a political marriage?

Huang Haoran didn't know that he had been remembered by "Madame", and he was still busy explaining the meaning of "quick take" to the highest authorities......

"This 'quick take' is much easier to understand than 'more'! The Soviets were worried about the Japanese and Germans! In fact, there are two countries that we need to worry about! I'm not saying that there will be a war between China and Germany, but that if there is a war between the Soviet Union and Germany, will these loans and military aid be cashed in by the Soviets? There is an undercurrent in Europe right now, and there is a possibility that the countries will fall apart at any time, so we must get the supplies that the Soviets promised to give us back home as soon as possible! At present, there are two main transportation routes for the Soviet Union to supply weapons and military equipment to our country: One is to transport weapons and military equipment from Susevastopol, Vladivostok and other ports to Hong Kong, Haiphong, Vietnam, or Yangon, Myanmar, and bring them in through the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway or the Yunnan-Burma Highway. The second is to use automobiles to transport them from Almaty to Lanzhou via Khorgos and Urumqi. This is a newly built road transport line, and a considerable stretch of the road is circled on mountain roads at an altitude of 1,500 to 3,000 meters, and the transport capacity is very limited! It's not enough to rely on two lines of transport to transport all the supplies! We must increase the channels of material importation! In particular, the highway line bordering the Soviet Union must be actively expanded on the basis of the original one, even if it cannot be rebuilt immediately! And build more warehouses on the border! We are going to rush the Soviets to deliver! Use up all the loans they gave us! Weapons with low unit prices, the Soviet Union can't provide them, so we need high-value equipment! Heavy artillery chariots! It's time for little Japan to suffer a loss! In short, we must pile these materials on our land first! If you can't ship it now, you can transport it slowly in the future! What to do with what goes into your pocket is not a matter of our words! This 'quick take' and 'more' must be done at the same time, otherwise even if you can't eat more, it will be in vain! And you have to owe the USSR favors in vain! That's not a good deal! ”

Although the think tank of the highest authorities also believes that war may break out in Europe, there is not a single person like Huang Haoran who directly said that Germany would attack the Soviet Union within a few years! Although the highest authorities can't keep up with Huang Haoran's unrestrained thinking, he has a feeling that Huang Haoran said that these things are very likely to happen! If the war between the Soviet Union and Germany is really imminent, then the Wuhan government's loans and procurement of weapons from the Soviet Union must be stepped up! The highest authorities don't want to be like "Madame" who can't spend any money when the time comes!

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the "Madame" made the decision to deposit all the funds for the purchase of combat aircraft by the Aviation Committee into foreign banks, and the reason for this was that because the planes were being replaced too quickly, the models purchased by the Air Force often could not keep up with the situation in less than a year, so in order to allow the Air Force to be in place in one step, so the "Madame" decided to purchase the latest models before the war! As a result, before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Aviation Committee had a lot of money in its hands and could not buy a plane in the world! The "thrifty housekeeping" of the "Madame" directly led to the fact that a few months after the start of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese Air Force disappeared into the sky!

For this matter, the highest authorities have been bombarded by the opposition in the government!

Because of the experience of "Madame", the highest authorities even feel that Huang Haoran's "quick take" is more important than "more"! Historically, the tragedy of the Wuhan government running out of grain without using up the Soviet Union's loans should not be repeated!

In a black sedan halfway up the Lushan Mountain, Soviet Ambassador to China Bogomolov suddenly felt a chill in his back......
