Chapter 799 Marshall Request (December Pass)
Commander Jiang just said that if the United States no longer supports it, then he would give up on the United States and not their support. He just needed to defend the southwest defense line. At that time, he would recover the Northeast. If Yan'an wants to attack Chongqing, he would also admit it.
The generals were quite shocked when they heard this. They didn't want the big ship to sink like this, so the generals advised Commander Jiang to give up this idea. When Commander Jiang saw them like this, he laughed and made the generals laugh. Why did Commander Jiang laugh even more?
"I am very pleased to see you like this. You have not given up on our Chongqing, nor our ideals, nor our ambitions, I am very happy!" Jiang Tongshuai said with great relief as he looked at the generals with a smile.
"Commander, as long as you don't give up, we will never give up!" He Yingqin stood up and said very firmly.
"Yes, commander, as long as you don't give up, we will never give up. Maybe one day, we will be defeated by Yan'an, but even so, we will not give up before! Until the last moment, we will not give up!" Li Zongren stood up and said.
"I know, I know, sit down, sit down!" The commander looked at them with a smile, pressed his hands, and signaled them to sit down.
"I know what you think, and I also hope that Chongqing can defend our power. However, there is one thing I want to say, the United States is willing to support us, and it is best if we don't support us, we must develop ourselves.
Now we have many problems. I am planning to start dealing with these issues recently. I cannot continue to let those members continue to corrupt our country. Now it’s time to take action. If we don’t take action, we may really have no chance.
Also, if the United States wants to support us, we must have a bottom line. They support us, and it is impossible for them to have no conditions. If we are asked to fight in Southeast Asia, I can accept such conditions. After all, we are also defending our country's southwest defense line when fighting against the Japanese in Southeast Asia.
But you have to think about it, if the United States proposes that China send troops to attack Southeast Asian islands, or attack India, or even asks us to fight in the Americas, will you still agree?" Jiang Cheng asked at the generals.
"What, go to the Americas to fight, how can this work? Even India cannot do it. If Hu Bin can completely control Myanmar, it will form a restraint with the Indian devils. They dare not attack the northwest of our country from India. If they dare to attack the northwest of our country, Hu Bin can go north and attack India!" Li Zongren said immediately.
"Yes, if the Japanese dare to take action in the northwest, we will let Hu Bin attack India!" He Yingqin also spoke.
"No, no, you are wrong. You must know that once Japan has gained a foothold in India, they will be able to expand their troops in India. At that time, they will have the strength to attack our northwest!" Commander Jiang immediately shook his head and said.
"This, this, that, even if the United States does not require us to attack India, we still need Hu Bin's troops to start attacking India after attacking Myanmar!" He Yingqin said.
"Yes, but I don't want to print. If we recover the Northeast in advance, we and Japan will have mutual restraints. If he dares to attack our Northwest, I will dare to bomb Japan.
Everyone, our China has fought a war for almost a century, and the people of our country really need to rest. If we find that Japan has not completely occupied our China's strength, we can't fight anymore!" Jiang Tongshu said to them.
When the generals heard this, they fell silent immediately.
A few minutes later, Commander Jiang spoke again and said: "We can restrain the Japanese in Southeast Asia, but I don't want to intervene in Southeast Asia. I want to regain the Northeast. The Northeast was thrown from my hands. I want to regain. No matter what, I don't want the people to blame us.
Now the Northeast has not been recovered, and we are still helping the United States fight. Think about it carefully. If we really do this, the people will be disgusted and distrustful of us. If we lose the people's hearts, we will be even more unable to fight for Yan'an!" Jiang Zhengshu sat there and looked at the generals and said.
When the generals heard this, they nodded with difficulty. Now the people are rumored that Chongqing will not deal with the domestic Japanese, but will help the Americans fight Southeast Asia. They even said that Chongqing is selling the country.
The commander and the others knew that this rumor was spread by the Japanese, but Chongqing really had no way to explain it to the people, and the people didn't understand the explanation. They just hope that Chongqing could quickly recover the country.
"So, if I really want to cooperate with the United States, I don't plan to continue to increase the expeditionary force!" Commander Jiang said.
"But, as Commander, you said, if the Japanese have gained a firm foothold in Southeast Asia, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with it. At that time, there will be problems in our country's northwest defense line!" He Yingqin looked at Commander Jiang and said.
"Yeah~" the commander nodded heavily, with a hint of sigh!
"Will Yan'an continue to attack India? I mean Hu Bin will take the initiative to attack India, because once our northwest defense line is broken, their Yan'an will be the first to be hit!" Sun Liren asked at this time.
"Yes!" Commander Jiang suddenly laughed.
When the generals heard this, they looked at Jiang Tongshu in surprise. They knew what it means to laugh like this now.
"Commander, we can give Chongqing more organization and let them continue to print, which is the most beneficial for us. Commander, you think, Hu Bin fights in India and will definitely consume a lot of resources in Yan'an. Our Chongqing can still maintain a long balance with Yan'an.
Moreover, for the Northeast, we don’t have to worry about the Yan'an Association sending troops in advance. At that time, we will send troops directly to occupy the Northeast. With the industrial foundation of the Northeast and the technical assistance from the United States, I think we may be able to compete with Yan'an!" He Yingqin said excitedly.
"Yan'an will definitely fight. Now we need them to fight, but Southeast Asia needs us to fight!" Jiang Tongshuai said with a smile.
"This is no problem. After Hu Bin finished this battle, I think there will be no many troops in Southeast Asia at all. Then we will have no problem in fighting Southeast Asia!" Li Zongren said with a smile.
"Remember, let the United States go to Yan'an and let Yan'an print the data. We won't go to fight!" Jiang Tongshuai said with a smile as he looked at the generals.
"I understand!" The generals nodded very happy.
They now know that this is what Jiang Tongshu was thinking. Jiang Tongshu did this before, not to not fight, but to hope to gain more time to maintain balance with Yan'an, so that the distance between Chongqing and Yan'an can be narrowed.
"Okay, it depends on how Hu Bin fights on the front line now. To be honest, if Hu Bin is from our side, I will give him as many troops as Hu Bin wants. Hu Bin is indeed a commanding genius, which is a pity!" Jiang Zhengshu said in a sigh.
The generals no longer want to express their opinions on this matter. The commander said more than once that he admired Hu Bin very much, but unfortunately Hu Bin was not theirs.
Soon, it was around 3 pm. Marshall rushed to Jiang Tongshun's official residence as scheduled. Jiang Tongshun met him in the conference room. As soon as he sat down, Jiang Tongshun asked Marshall how he felt when he went to see his troops training today.
"It's very good. I saw your army training. It's very good. I found that their equipment was very backward, and the food they ate was also very simple. However, their spirit of hard training was still very impressive!" Marshall nodded and praised him when he heard it.
"You also know that our country is poor and cannot be compared with you in the United States. Although we now have advanced weapons and equipment, even the front-line combat troops cannot be equipped, so it is even more impossible for the recruits to equip those good weapons.
And their food, I don’t know that General Marshall doesn’t understand the national conditions of our China. Our country has been in war, and many people are displaced and have no way to engage in production.
Therefore, now, in our country, there are still many places where the people starve to death. Our troops are already robbing food from the mouths of the people. General Marshall, our China is fighting against the Japanese invasion, and the price is too high!" Jiang Zhengshi said, looking at Marshall.
When Marshall heard this, he was stunned. He really didn't know that this was the case in China before.
"I think, you can ask your ambassador about this question. He is quite familiar with the situation in China!" Jiang Tongshuo saw that Marshall was a little disbelief, and immediately said to him, indicating that he could ask Jansen beside him.
"Yes, General Marshall, China is indeed like this. The price they can always fight the invasion of the Japanese devils is not something we can understand.
Their people can bring their own food to the front line to fight, and they can bring their own clothes to the front line to fight. Even many troops have no food when fighting, and they use grassroots and bark to satisfy their hunger!" Jansen nodded with a heavy expression and said to Marshall.
"What?" At this time, Marshall and the American generals came over with each other, all looked at Jensen in shock, and then turned around to look at Commander-in-Chief Jiang.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know before. I apologize to you for my ignorance and to your Chinese people!" Marshall stood up at this time and saluted a solemn military salute to Commander Chiang. The American generals behind Marshall also stood up and saluted.
