The year 1941 was a time when the global battlefield was intensifying, and there was no intention of stopping. After sweeping through Western Europe, the steel torrent of Nazi Germany marched eastward, and millions of troops descended on the city of Moscow. The Italian and German armies also extended the front to North Africa, and the war across Asia, Africa and Latin America began.

The Japanese army also invested millions of troops in the battlefield against China, and their navy was also eyeing the Pacific Ocean, and it was only a matter of time before they went to war with Britain and the United States.

Looking at the current situation, most people believe that Japan and Germany may meet in the Middle East or somewhere, and pessimists even estimate that the world will be controlled by Germany and Japan by the end of this century.

Compared with the chaotic war situation outside, the United States on the North American continent is peaceful and peaceful. For ordinary Americans, the war is always too far away, the sun still rises every day, the city of New York is still bustling, and the daily busyness is always for the most basic life.

The war outside, for them, is the daily news broadcast in the newspapers and on the radio.

War, far away from them.

But for another group of people in the United States, the war is not far away, these people are Chinese in the United States, and Huang Ying is a typical representative of them.

Since coming to the United States to study, Huang Ying has spent most of her time abroad. This point was specially instructed by his father Huang Ke, and Huang Ke considered this out of his own selfish thoughts. He asked both boys to return to China, because he felt that they themselves should also contribute to the country, and then hone their skills in the country, so that they could be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future.

But Huang Ying is different from them, Huang Ying is a girl and has excellent diplomatic skills, and keeping her in the United States can not only ensure her safety, but also play a role in communicating with the United States.

As Huang Ke envisioned, during her time in the United States, Huang Ying not only completed her studies, but also established contacts with many American dignitaries, and she also assisted the Chinese Ambassador to the United States, Mr. Hu Shih, in many translation and communication work. Hu Shi said several times, "You might as well come to the embassy to work, and it will be the same way to enter politics in the future." ”

Huang Ying smiled every time and said that she didn't want to be in politics, and after the war ended, she wanted to return to China and do public welfare like Aunt Fu Jin.

After leaving the embassy in the United States, Huang Ying took a taxi to a nearby café. Today she is going to meet Su Hui, a reporter who has come from New York.

In fact, although I hadn't seen this person before, I had heard her name Huang Ying more than once. She knew that this person and his younger brother Huang Zhengzhong were friends, and that they could develop into the kind of friends of a couple. In addition, she has seen articles signed by this person in many media such as Time Magazine.

It is no exaggeration to say that she was the first person in the United States and even in the West to comprehensively report on China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

From the bottom of her heart, Huang Ying has more respect for such Chinese. Coupled with the similar educational experience between them, Huang Ying really wanted to make friends with this person, but Su Hui was either in China or the Philippines, and the schedule to the United States was very tight, and there was no suitable person to match, so they had never met.

However, not long ago, Huang Ying received a phone call, and the other party politely told her on the phone that she was Su Hui, and now there were several manuscripts ready to be published, because she heard about the fact that the American political arena was preparing to aid China, so she thought of meeting Huang Ying before the publication, and the two of them had a talk.

Huang Ying readily agreed, and agreed with the other party to meet at a nearby café.

At noon, Huang Ying arrived at this café more than ten minutes early, but what she didn't expect was that Su Hui had already arrived. Seeing Huang Ying coming in, Su Hui beckoned to her.

Huang Ying saw the beckoning, also beckoned to her, and came to her.

"Hello Huang Ying, I'm Su Hui." Su Hui generously stretched out her right hand.

Huang Ying also stretched out her right hand and shook hands with her: "You know me?" ”

Su Hui nodded and said, "I've seen your photos before, but I didn't expect me to be so beautiful, so I recognized you at first sight when you came in." ”

Although Su Hui said something flattering, it was not an exaggeration. Huang Ying wears the most popular light-colored suit at the moment, with a certain small round hat on her head, a popular small suitcase in her hand, and a pair of long and round legs wrapped in stockings. There is no doubt that she is a beauty regardless of the aesthetic standards of the East and the West.

"That's it, I've heard of it for a long time, Miss Su." Huang Ying sat down with her, and after the two ordered some coffee and desserts, they began to talk.

Su Hui stirred the coffee with a spoon, and said with a smile while tasting it: "I came to you this time, but I was actually recommended by Mr. Chen Bui and Huang Zhengzhong of the Nanjing Propaganda Department. They told me that you are very influential in the Chinese community in the United States, so they want me to meet with you before reporting it, and I need your help. ”

"Oh, it turned out that Mr. Chen recommended it, I said how did you think of looking for me." Huang Ying smiled. In fact, before Su Hui came, she was not very clear about the reason why Su Hui came to her this time, at first she thought that Su Hui wanted to get in touch with more Chinese in the United States, but she didn't expect it to be the opinion of Nanjing, that is, his father Huang Ke.

"You take a look at this first." As she spoke, Su Hui took out a few photos from her bag. Huang Ying took it, and the photo showed Chinese soldiers, but their faces and bare skin were covered with blisters, and their expressions could tell the pain caused to them by the injury.

"These are all ......," Huang Ying asked, flipping through the photos.

"Yes, it's all caused by chemical and biological weapons. These photos were provided by the rear hospital, and the doctors had no clue about the disease. It is not clear exactly what type of these weapons are. I'm in the United States, so it's not convenient to go to China to ask, so they recommended you and said you can help me with this. ”

After Su Hui finished speaking, she took out some other photos from her bag and handed them to Huang Ying.

Huang Ying took it and continued to flip through it, and Su Hui continued: "Before I report it, I need to find out the authenticity of these photos, and also determine how harmful this weapon is. If it is really caused by biological and chemical weapons, then the Japanese are clearly violating international practice. ”

Huang Ying nodded, she understood Su Hui, this is the quality that a real journalist should have, that is, all sources require authenticity, it seems that Su Hui really lives up to her reputation.

She said, "I know a Chinese biology professor, you can talk to him later." By the way, when are you going to send out this report? ”

"Really? That's great. I haven't confirmed the timing of the post, but it should be in the near future. Su Hui said.

"If the interview is complete, can it be sent out by the end of this week?" Huang Ying said seriously.

Su Hui shrugged: "It should be fine." It's just, I want to ask, why before this week? ”

Seeing that she was not an outsider, Huang Ying leaned forward and said, "President Roosevelt is about to introduce a bill recently, that is, the U.S. government will provide a loan to support some countries such as Britain, the Soviet Union, and China. As things stand, it is only a matter of time before this bill passes. However, there are differences in the distribution between countries, and lawmakers in the United States tend to increase their share of Britain by a large margin and pay less attention to the war in China. ”

"You know, now the domestic war of resistance has reached the point where it is difficult. If there is more aid, maybe the soldiers on the front line can die one less person. So, I think you can publish it before President Roosevelt goes to Congress, so that more people can understand the war that the Chinese are fighting. ”

It turned out that this was the reason, listening to Huang Ying's meaning, it seems that this matter is ironclad. Su Hui couldn't help but secretly admire Huang Yingqi in her heart, it seems that she not only has a great influence in the local Chinese circle, but also has a lot of influence in the American political arena, after all, such news from the top is not something that anyone can get if they want to.

"Okay, no problem." Su Hui readily agreed, she had no reason to refuse. Originally, the original intention of her report was for China's War of Resistance, and now she can directly support China's War of Resistance, which is naturally what she is also willing to see.

"Okay, that's it. First of all, I would like to thank you on behalf of the 40,000,000 Chinese compatriots. Huang Ying said seriously.

"Don't say that, I'm also a descendant of Yan and Huang." Su Hui said.

After talking about it, the two chatted for a while about other things, from the experience of studying in the United States to American culture, and all kinds of weird things they encountered. Before you know it, it's already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Huang Ying raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "It's really a pleasure to chat with you, but I'm sorry, I really should go." If you don't mind, can you leave your mailing address so that I can come back to you later? ”

"Good! No problem. Su Hui picked up the notebook she carried with her and wrote down her address in the United States: "I am only a temporary place of residence in the United States, if I change it in the future, I will definitely inform you again." ”

"Good!" Huang Ying put the note away and put it in her bag, then took out a business card and handed it to her, "I live on Constitution Avenue now, you can come here to find me." ”

After the two finished speaking, they stood up and shook hands happily.

Just as Huang Ying was about to leave, Su Hui leaned over and smiled playfully, "Miss Huang, is it okay to ask you a personal question?" ”

Huang Ying raised her eyebrows: "Yes." ”

Su Hui leaned over and whispered, "What is the relationship between Zhengzhong and you?" ”

Huang Ying smiled knowingly, it seems that women everywhere in the world are like this, she smiled: "He, he is the third most important man in my life." ”

"The third most important man?" Su Hui was a little confused.

"He's my younger brother, my father is number one, and he and my brother are tied for third." Huang Ying explained.

This time it was Su Hui's turn not to understand, she simply asked straightforwardly: "Then the second is important?" ”

Huang Ying stretched out his right hand and pointed at his ring finger and said, "This god hasn't let him appear yet." ”

Su Hui thought so, she smiled and said, "It seems that you are the same as me." ”
