Chapter 717 Who told him not to belong to him?

Zeng Jiayan Mansion

"When will your chairman see me?"

The American ambassador to China, Gao Si, was asking a colonel of the national army in front of him. Although his demeanor was as polite and arrogant as ever, if you observe carefully, you can still see a trace of anxiety flashing in his eyes from time to time.

"Ambassador Gao Si, I'm really sorry, our chairman is dealing with a very important official business, and I won't be able to see you for a while." The colonel still repeated what he had said several times.

"You..." Looking at the colonel's never-changing smile and words, Gao Si only felt angry and wanted to get angry, but he also knew that not only was it useless, but he would be laughed at by others.

Gao Si suppressed the anger in his heart, and patiently explained: "When will your chairman have time to see us, I have something very important to discuss with your chairman!"

"I'm really sorry, I don't know about this." The colonel still shook his head.

Just when Gao Gao couldn't bear the anger in his heart and was about to get angry, the door of the living room was pushed open, and the chairman of the committee in a gray jacket came in with a civilized stick.

As soon as he came in, the Chairman smiled and said, "Ambassador Gao Si, I kept you waiting. I'm really sorry, I just sent several telegrams from the Expeditionary Army. , please don’t be offended.”

Gao Si, who was originally full of anger in his heart, couldn't help shaking when he heard the word "Expeditionary Army", and hurriedly asked.

"Mr. Chairman, is there any news from the Expeditionary Army?"

"Yes, there is indeed news, and it's good news." The chairman nodded with a smile, and then said beamingly.

"The expeditionary force reported that at 10:30 yesterday morning, more than 100 Stuka dive bombers deployed in Yangon and 48 fighter planes under the cover of the expeditionary force launched an air strike on Mandalay.

In this air raid, we bombed an arsenal, a barracks, and all the air defense positions of the Japanese army. This air raid wiped out more than 600 enemies. After this battle, the strength of the Japanese army in Mandalay declined seriously. This is also for us. The next counterattack provided good conditions. "

Gao Si continued to ask: "This is indeed a good thing, but can you tell me how the prisoners in our prison camps are doing now?"

"That's another piece of good news."

The chairman also knew that it would be counterproductive to continue to tantalize his appetite, and soon Cui said: "According to the report of Major General Gao Hongming, the air commander of the expeditionary force, he has already dispatched a force, disguised as Japanese troops, and mixed in with Japanese troops to escort prisoners of war." In the team, and at five o'clock in the morning this morning, with the cooperation of the prisoners of war, launched a sneak attack on the escorted garrison brigade.

After some fighting, they completely annihilated the Japanese army responsible for escorting the prisoners, and successfully rescued more than 600 Allied prisoners of war. Now they have retreated towards our controlled area under the escort of our army. "

"Great!"

Hearing this, Gao Si couldn't help but stood up and waved his fist vigorously.

But he also quickly realized his gaffe, and looked at the chairman with some embarrassment: "Sorry, I'm a little too excited. It's really too much pressure on me from the White House these days, even Mr. President I have called several times to ask about this matter, and I have to disturb you again and again."

"It's all right, it's human nature." The chairman waved his hand indifferently to express his understanding, but no one knew how to slander this guy who came to harass him every day in his heart.

After being happy, Gauss was a little embarrassed and said: "Your Excellency, I know it's rude to ask such a question, but I still want to know when those poor boys will be able to return to China, so that I can arrange a special plane to send them back to the United States .”

"This is..."

The chairman pondered for a while, "Ambassador Gao Si, I don't know how to answer your question now, and I can only give you an answer after discussing with the generals of the expeditionary force.

However, according to the report of the Expeditionary Force, most of the prisoners of war are very weak and need at least one to two months of recuperation before they can return to their normal state.Otherwise, according to their current physical conditions, they would not be able to travel long distances back to the United States by special plane or ship. "

Gao Si knew that the chairman was telling the truth. Although he wished to get these prisoners of war back to China from Burma immediately and arrange for them to return to China, he also understood that this was not realistic, so he could only nod in agreement.

But he still said: "Chairman, although I know it's presumptuous, I still hope that you can send a joint telegram with me to report this good news to the White House, so that President Roosevelt and those family members who care about them can rest assured. .”

The chairman of the committee said indifferently: "Ambassador Gao Si, don't worry, I will send a telegram, but now is not the time, it is better to wait a few days."

"But……"

Gao Si wanted to say more, but the Chairman waved his hand, "Okay, let's leave it at that, let's talk about it in a few days."

After finishing speaking, he stood up without waiting for Gao Si to speak, turned around and left the living room.

Soon, the colonel just now also came in and made a gesture of invitation to him.

Seeing this, Gao Si had no choice but to stand up and leave here.

And in an office not far from the living room, as soon as the chairman sat down, he saw a beautiful, dignified and extravagant middle-aged woman in a cheongsam walking in with a glass of water.

He came to the chairman and sat down, and handed the water glass to the chairman: "Darling, just now Gao Si asked you to jointly send a report to the White House with him. This is a good thing, why did you refuse?"

"Good thing?"

After taking the water glass, the chairman snorted softly, "Is that a request? Is that an order?

Didn't you hear what he said just now? He asked me to send a joint report to the White House with him to report the good news to Roosevelt.You heard me clearly, it's a report! "

Speaking of this, the chairman was out of breath.

"If this telegram is sent out, wouldn't that mean that I have become Roosevelt's subordinate by default? Where will this put me, and where will China be placed? If I meet Roosevelt again in the future, won't I be short for nothing? hit him?
This is related to Huaxia's face, and it is also related to the face of me, Jiang. "

For a person like the Chairman who has been in officialdom for decades, he may not understand many things, but he must be extremely sensitive to political things, because this is what they rely on for survival and prosperity.

However, he was only angry for a while, and then he said happily: "But this expeditionary force has indeed earned a lot of face for the central government. With these prisoners of war in our hands, we have the capital to negotiate with Roosevelt. up.

Immediately call Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming to ensure the safety of those prisoners. "

When he said this, the Chairman had already automatically forgotten the name of the person who contributed the most.

In his opinion, although that Gao has made outstanding achievements, who made him not one of his own?
