Chapter 654 Blackmail?
Jensen hoped that Commander Chiang would order Hu Bin to support the British troops and rescue the British troops, and then talk about the rest of the matter.
Commander Jiang heard Jensen's words, considering that he might need the support of the United States side in the future, he held back his anger, but now he didn't dare to give Hu Bin an order directly, before Hu Bin learned that the British troops retreated to the Indian side, he was angry, and now he wants Hu Bin to save it, it is estimated that it is not easy.
"Wait a minute!" Commander Chiang stood up and walked to his study, and several adjutants immediately followed, and when they arrived at the study, the adjutant closed the door.
"Send a telegram to Hu Bin, ask him what he means, do we want to save it, and tell Hu Bin that the people from the country have come to us, our country, we still need the support of the country in the future, after all, our country is poor, and it is estimated that it will take a long time for our country to complete the great cause of recovering the country, and now we still need the country!" Commander Jiang said to the adjutant beside him.
"Does it work? Will Hu Bin support us? One of the lieutenants asked.
"Yes!" Commander Jiang nodded and said, and the adjutant went out immediately.
Soon, Hu Bin received a telegram from Commander Chiang, and after reading the telegram, Hu Bin sat there and thought about it.
"Commander, who does he care? What can the United States do? It's not up to us Chinese to fight yet! Li Dalong saw Hu Bin sitting there worried, and immediately persuaded him.
"That's what I said, but our country is too poor, if we really offend the country, it will be even more difficult for us to resist the war in the future, hey. Why is our country so poor? Hu Bin sighed when he said this.
"Without them, we wouldn't be fighting the same, we now have weapons and ammunition, what are we afraid of?" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin very puzzled and said.
"What about medicine, what about food? Are we really robbing the people? And also. Get those materials out, don't cost it? To fight a war is to fight money! Now our country has no money, we don't have many factories, and it costs money to build those factories! Hu Bin looked at Li Dalong and explained.
"So, what do you mean to promise them?" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and asked.
"Hmph, promise them to promise them, but Lao Tzu doesn't do anything gratuitous. Lao Tzu is not a volunteer! Hu Bin snorted coldly, and then said to the staff officer behind: "Send a telegram to Commander Jiang, just say that he wants economic compensation, more points, by the way, he wants his, I want mine, on the one hand, I don't agree." We send troops, and we want to send troops. Hurry up, I don't care if it's slow! ”
After the staff officer recorded the telegram, he handed it to Hu Bin, who picked it up and looked at it carefully, considered adding 2 sentences to it, and asked the staff officer to send it.
"Asking for money? Will the UK give? Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin with a suspicious look and asked.
"If you don't give it, forget it. I don't care! Hu Bin stood up and said, then looked at the map.
Now the map marked the places where Hu Bin's troops were located, and Hu Bin looked at those places, considering whether it would cause large-scale retaliation from the devils if an attack on the 15th Army was launched. How to control the goodness is a problem.
And Commander Jiang saw Hu Bin's telegram, his heart relaxed a lot, he knew that Hu Bin would agree, although Hu Bin is from Yan'an, but he is still a Chinese, in the big aspect, involving China's interests, Hu Bin will not not consider it!
Soon, Commander Chiang came out of the study, and Jensen and Fredere were still waiting outside.
"Commander Jiang, I don't know what you think about it?" Jensen looked at Commander Jiang and asked.
"We are very dissatisfied with the actions of the British side, and according to their current actions, I don't want to save them!" Commander Jiang sat down and said.
"This, please Commander Chiang must order Hu Bin to act, it is difficult for our troops to hold out until tomorrow night, and we are willing to pay the price. I also hope that this incident will not affect the cooperation between our two countries. Fredley heard Commander Jiang say this, and said quite anxiously.
"Pay the price? What can you cost? You have betrayed our agreement, and it is hard for us to trust you anymore! Commander Jiang looked at Fredere coldly and said, his heart was full of joy, he was going to mention it himself, but he still didn't know how to say it.
"Well, do you think that's going to work? We are willing to pay you $100 million in supplies, such as medicines, weapons and ammunition, food and other industrial raw materials, and we will ship them directly to you from India, of course, only after you can hold Myitkyina and take Mandalay, we will be able to bring those supplies over. Fredere said immediately.
He thought that as long as the people were rescued and the Chinese troops still held Mandalay, then they would not need to send many troops in this direction, and the British troops would be deployed on the seashore at that time, and the Japanese would have much fewer routes to choose from for the land attack!
"Supplies?" Commander Jiang heard it, looked at Fredere and said.
"Yes, if it's Mikin, we don't have that much, so we want to use the materials hoarded by the Indian side as funds to pay for this cooperation!" Fredere spoke.
This condition was issued to them by China last night, and they also know that if they want China to send troops, I am afraid it will not be so simple, and they must pay the price.
"If this is the case, it is not impossible, but there are a few things I want to make clear in advance, first, the medicine cannot be less than 10 million meters of gold, and it must be the drugs for hemostasis, anesthesia and anti-inflammatory that our troops urgently need, second, the weapons cannot be less than 40 million meters of gold, the food cannot be less than 20 million US dollars, and the rest can be industrial raw materials. Moreover, weapons, ammunition and medicines must be flown from India to China within a month, otherwise I will not agree.
By the way, there is another thing, if you agree, I can order Hu Bin to send troops, but I don't know if Hu Bin listens or not, if you want Wei Lihuang's troops to send troops, I can promise you that as soon as the order arrives, their troops will be dispatched immediately, as for when it will arrive, I don't know! Commander Jiang sat there thinking about it and said to Fredere.
"What? Isn't Hu Bin your troops? Hearing Commander Jiang's words, Fredere said in shock, he didn't expect that he had paid 100 million meters of gold in materials, but it was still useless.
"It's my troops, but you also know that he didn't just listen to my orders, his troops were from Yan'an, what I could do was to give an order for Hu Bin to send troops, of course, if I ordered Hu Bin not to send troops, he would also listen, because for Hu Bin, he must listen, once he doesn't listen, the casualties are large, I will hold him responsible." Commander Jiang looked at Fredere with a smile and said.
Commander Chiang's meaning is obvious, although I can't order Hu Bin to attack, I can order Hu Bin not to attack. So if you spend money here, you must also spend money on Hu Bin's side, and if you want to spend money in one place, let Hu Bin send troops, that's impossible.
"Okay, my side will arrange someone to talk to Hu Bin immediately, if the negotiation is completed, I will come over immediately, we will also prepare documents here, and please prepare documents for Commander Jiang!" Fredere said.
Fredere didn't dare to delay, although this matter made him very angry, but now those who were surrounded were more important, because it involved the defense of India, so he could only go back to his embassy and send a telegram to the United Kingdom, so that they could come up with ideas as soon as possible.
After Fredere returned to the embassy, he did not dare to delay for a minute, and after sending a telegram to the country, he sat in the telegraph room and waited for the situation in the country.
"Damn, they're a threat, it's blackmail!" Churchill shouted when he saw the telegram from Frederey.
However, after the other people saw the telegram, they didn't say anything at all, and now the initiative is on China's side, and they have a request from China, and any conditions put forward by China should be in their opinion.
"Someone, send a telegram to Fredere, and say that we agree, and we will immediately order Wright to talk to Hu Bin, and make it clear to the Chinese side that we must rescue our troops tomorrow, otherwise, we will not pay for those supplies!" Churchill thought about it for a moment and said to the secretary beside him.
He didn't intend to ask those staff members at all, and when he asked them, this was also the result.
Then Churchill sent a telegram to Wright, asking him to talk to Hu Bin and tell Hu Bin that the British were willing to pay the price for Hu Bin's troops to come to the rescue.
Wright received the telegram and immediately ran to Hu Bin's headquarters, this time no one stopped him, and when he arrived at the headquarters, he saw Hu Bin sitting there eating breakfast.
"Oh, Mr. Wright is here, come on, come on, sorry last night! I'm a bad person when I'm woken up, come, sit down, come on, someone, bring me breakfast. When Hu Bin saw him coming, he immediately stood up with a smile, as kind as he wanted.
"Commander Hu, I think you already know that our troops are surrounded in Banmao, and it is estimated that Japanese planes will come to bomb our troops in a while, and now we ask you to send troops!" Wright said to Hu Bin very anxiously, now he is not in the mood to eat breakfast at all.
"Well, I know, when I got up in the morning, our Commander Li told me, for this matter, I can only sympathize, I hope your troops can break through safely!" Hu Bin nodded with a smile and said.
"Commander Hu, we are willing to pay the price, please ask your troops to rescue our surrounded troops." Wright directly stated his purpose, this matter can't be delayed at all, and now he has to hurry. (To be continued.) )
