Playing tricks at the negotiation table just represents the recognition of your strength by others. Or they think that you still have use value, so they will sit down and talk to you. True dignity is never something that can be obtained at the negotiating table. As soon as the cannon sounded, the gold was ten thousand taels, and the current situation was a vivid portrayal of such a situation. If you want to eat, you have to rely on your ability, that's it.

Yang Zhen, who was not carried away by the victory at the beginning, always maintained a clear understanding in his mind. Compared with Li Yanping, who was smiling happily on the side, and although he forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, the expression on his face was that he still betrayed his inner thoughts. For such a thing that is quite worth celebrating, Yang Zhen is unusually calm.

Not only is it calm and abnormal, but when I think about what I later learned about Chongqing, during the entire war against Japan, compared with the Soviet Union and Britain, the assistance received can even be described as a drop in the bucket. Thinking of the thick stack of contents in the US aid agreement in front of him, Yang Zhen's mouth showed a subtle and ironic smile.

His sarcasm is not satirizing Chongqing. For an army that has been fighting alone for four whole years in the face of a strong enemy. Even though this army has lost most of the country, Yang Zhen knows that he is not qualified to satirize this army.

The top level is a high-level issue, and the system is a matter of the system. In any case, the performance of this army throughout the Anti-Japanese War can still be said to be worthy of the admiration of every Chinese. Because for them, it's already done their best. Most of them continued to fight, not putting down their guns.

Under the conditions of modern three-dimensional warfare, what kind of battle can be fought on the battlefield? It is determined by the strength of the country behind him, not by the soldiers who do not do their best. Of course, some of them preserve their strength on the battlefield, some avoid battle, and it is not uncommon for them to collapse at the first touch. But most of them still did their best on the battlefield.

No matter what later generations say, but after all, they resisted on the frontal battlefield for eight full years. Although it was defeated repeatedly, only a handful of victories were fought during the entire Anti-Japanese War. But the vast majority of them still insisted on resisting and did not bow to the strong enemy. And many of the reasons for the defeat were not the fault of the war.

The equipment was inadequate, and all heavy weapons, including tanks and aircraft, were scarce. The production capacity of the military industry is low, and even the basic necessary rifles and ammunition cannot meet the needs. Coupled with the corruption and inaction of a considerable number of high-ranking officials, the strict training of the army, and the numerous factions within the army.

And, crucially, after losing all the richest regions, with unusually scarce financial resources, barely supporting a large army and huge military expenditure, all strictly restrained and weakened the combat effectiveness of this army. You can't expect an army that can't even get enough to eat to be as powerful as you think.

The hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth was aimed at the generosity of Britain and the United States this time. By this year, the Chinese had been fighting alone for four years against an opponent whose strength far exceeded their own. During this period, the Americans did not give a single dollar in substantial assistance, except for a small amount of loans.

The British, on the other hand, did not give assistance, and did not do less during the period. But now that the Japanese have formed a real threat to them, they have shown a rare generosity. If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place? If they had helped at the beginning of the Sino-Japanese war, instead of standing idly by, how could they have allowed the Japanese to become so big?

No one let them go directly to the war, openly involved in the war. But even when the Japanese army was wielding butcher's knives in Nanjing, they only imposed an embargo on oil and scrap iron on the Japanese, rather than making a fortune in it. I am afraid that the Japanese, who have relied on absorbing Chinese flesh and blood to support their strength, will not grow to such a point.

Looking at the scene in front of him, although Yang Zhen forcibly suppressed the strong sense of contempt in his heart at the moment, the strange smile on the corner of his mouth still revealed the true thoughts in his heart at the moment. There is no way, for these people only have interests in their eyes, and they never know what justice is. But when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, his mouth is full of righteous guys, and he can't help but think so.

It's like decades later, they are still full of so-called ** and justice. It's just that this ** and justice will only be ** when they think they need it. Otherwise, even if there is a massacre in front of them, they will act as if they did not see it.

And the so-called morality, which is nothing more than a fig leaf that they use to achieve their own ends. Whether it is now, or decades from now, or in these countries, the mercenary act has never changed. What he said has always been high-sounding, and what he does has always been shameless and obscene.

While signing on behalf of their own countries, they have been carefully observing Yang Zhen's Hopkins and Generals Wavell. Seeing Yang Zhen calm, and even with a stern expression, he saw the surprise that flashed in the other party's eyes. And the smile on the corner of Yang Zhen's mouth that seemed a little weird made the two of them a little confused.

Neither of them could have imagined that the achievement would be a huge result for any country. Yang Zhen, a young man who is not yet thirty years old, was able to express such calmness without showing even a trace of joy.

Yang Zhen's appearance at the moment was not in line with his age, which made both of them feel that this person was far more difficult than they had seen. For Hopkins, although he had seen Yang Zhen's difficult strength at the negotiation table, Yang Zhen's expression at this time made him feel that the young man in front of him was far more difficult to deal with than he had seen at the negotiation table.

And for Admiral Wavell, relying on years of military service to develop a keen sense of smell on the battlefield. This damn guy with eyes that are even more vicious than a falcon and can't hide anything from him. It will be far more difficult to deal with than those compatriots in Chongqing, and it will be an extremely difficult bone to gnaw.

Your Excellency wants the guy in front of you to change his original mind and send troops to Southeast Asia to cooperate with the British army to defend the British colonies in Southeast Asia, I am afraid that it will be a difficult task to complete. This person will not change his mind lightly because of some interests.

After the brief signing ceremony, Yang Zhen immediately began to arrange a sumptuous celebration banquet. Although the Americans and Britain, who have always been extremely realistic, do not pay much attention to this. But as the host, Yang Zhen felt that he always had a lot of meaning.

Last night, he did not attend the reception banquet held for the senior US and British officers who went down to inspect the situation. Today's celebration banquet, if you don't mean it again, it will make you think that you lack the necessary etiquette. I can't let people say that I will send them away if I have a lot of tea and light food.

As for what he really thinks in his heart, is it as he says. It is because the signing of this agreement means that the alliance established by the United States, Britain and China for the world anti-fascist war has been officially established. As one of the most important ones, this agreement will forever be recorded in the history of human development with a glorious and righteous image.

Chinese, Americans, British, and people around the world with a sense of justice will be proud of this agreement. If such an event will be written in the history of mankind, if it cannot be celebrated, then this stinky and long excuse that he will regret for the rest of his life, I am afraid that only he knows.

The two giants, Hopkins and Admiral Wavell, who originally wanted to resign, finally nodded and agreed to Yang Zhen's arrangement under Yang Zhen's ulterior motives. After all, for the two who have been in high positions for a long time, they are very clear that this is a banquet and a diplomatic etiquette. If you refuse, it is an insult to others.

Although this celebration banquet in Yang Zhen's mouth cannot be compared with the state banquet. The Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army represented by Yang Zhen is not the current Chinese government. But after all, this is the most basic diplomatic etiquette, and a continuous refusal is quite impolite. It turns out that it is still easy to say, and it can be excused by negotiations. But now that the agreement has been largely signed, it would be too much to refuse.

Although Yang Zhen's excuse is high-sounding, it is actually not even a fool for these two. But Yang Zhen has a sentence, but it is not wrong. The formal signing of today's agreement means that the strategic alliance formed by the United States, Britain, and the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the war against Japan has been formally declared.

Although the Anti-Japanese Federation does not represent the Chinese government, it is the most powerful force among the many local forces in China. But the signing of this agreement is, after all, a thing worth celebrating. At least for now, forming an alliance with the resistance is beneficial to the overall strategy of the United States and Britain. Since the Americans who came out of the big head nodded, Admiral Wavell over there, although he had some concerns, he couldn't pull down his face and refuse.

Yang Zhen's arrangement is obviously harboring evil intentions. However, for Admiral Wavell, who also had ulterior motives, although he was anxious to discuss the cooperation of the two armies on strategic issues when necessary, he wanted to further discuss with Yang Zhen. But in the face of Yang Zhen, who kept his mouth shut and always took the topic elsewhere, he couldn't expose his intentions too much.

Although he is very realistic, as a general of the British Army, the kind of old power in the heart of this Admiral Wavell is still the same arrogant in the face of a nation that has been weak for nearly a hundred years. Although the strategic shape in front of him is that Britain has a request for resistance to the United Nations, the so-called British military honor in this guy's heart makes him unable to take too much initiative.

He didn't want to come out of his inner thoughts because he was in a hurry, so as not to give the Anti-Japanese Federation, especially Yang Zhen himself, a feeling that the Kingdom of Great Britain took the initiative to ask for help. Although he was more anxious than anyone else in his heart, in the face of the unhurried Yang Zhen, as long as he wanted to retain the so-called pride of the British Empire soldiers in his heart, he could only take advantage of the situation.

One of the two leaders of the US-British delegation was embarrassed to refuse, and the other wanted to say something, but he couldn't let go of the so-called reserve that he had left in his heart. Regarding the invitation to Yang Zhen's celebration banquet, the two of them agreed in a daze. As for their entourage, both of them agreed, and it was difficult for others to say anything.

And Chen Bo's hands and feet over there are quite sharp, here Yang Zhen persuaded these two to accept his invitation to celebrate a little, and Chen Bo over there made two tables of sumptuous banquets in a short period of time. In fact, there is no need for Yang Zhen to explain it, Chen Bo, who is very flexible, has already been prepared.

All the ingredients are stocked in a place not far from this villa. When today's negotiations began, Chen Bo had already urged people to start preparing quickly. Anyway, in Yang Zhen's words, even if there is no need to hold a celebration banquet today, so many people in the American and British delegations will have to eat. Preparing early doesn't mean Lang Fei.
