The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China - Chapter 1039

   Stilwell’s diary, it is interesting to look at Chang Kaishen’s diary.

When Stilwell scolded Lao Jiang as the biggest fool in the world in his diary, on the same day, Lao Jiang wrote in his diary: “This person (Stilwell) has no common sense and no personality. people imagine.”

  Stilwell scolded Lao Jiang in his diary for not discussing the military situation with the Ministry of Military Affairs and only making decisions in the secret room. In his diary, Lao Jiang scolded Stilwell for concealing the data of the British and American troops, and wanted Chinese soldiers to be cannon fodder (at that time, Stilwell refused to provide the U.S. Navy military force documents, only saying that appropriate troops would be dispatched).

   In his diary, Stilwell scolded Lao Jiang for sabotaging allied relations, while Lao Jiang scolded Stilwell in his diary for “a lot of mistakes” and the “general cause” of destroying Sino-US relations.

   If the diaries of the two were released publicly in real time, it would be equivalent to spraying each other, and their disgust for each other was undisguised.

  Stilwell’s evaluation of Lao Jiang is basically true.

   Similarly, Lao Jiang’s views on Stilwell are not nonsense.

  Stilwell, the American guy, in China not only has a conflict with Chang Kaishen, but also has a conflict with Song Ziwen and others, and even has a conflict with Chennault, the captain of the Flying Tigers.

   At that time, Chennault suggested to mobilize superior air power to lure the Japanese Air Force to dispatch, and wipe out most of the Japanese air force in China in one fell swoop, thereby destroying the communication lines on both sides of Japan’s land and sea, and making the battle between China and Burma go more smoothly.

   This was a very good plan, but Stilwell rejected it. The reason for his veto is that the Chinese army is too scumbag to protect the airport. If the air strike against Japan is carried out too early and the enemy is attracted to attack, the airports in Yunnan, Guangxi and Hunan will all be lost, and future battles will not be better.

   To put it bluntly, Stilwell looked down on the Chinese soldiers and the Chinese army-although the Chinese army was really bad at the time, at least it was not as **** as Stilwell said.

   If Lao Jiang is an arrogant lion, then Stilwell is a teddy who will slap anyone he sees. This guy not only looked down on the Chinese army, but also looked down on the British army, and he continued to show this kind of contempt, which caused him to have the same bad relationship with the British military.

Chennault’s evaluation of Stilwell should be the most appropriate: “Stilwell’s mission in China is undoubtedly to put the most difficult diplomatic work on the shoulders of a wartime professional soldier… He always sees himself completely To be an Army soldier and not understand his basic duties as a diplomat, and he doesn’t have the patience to figure it all out.”

   All of Stilwell’s words and actions were made from the standpoint of the military. He felt that the command system was too bad and could not integrate the strength of all the troops, so he had to fight for the highest command of the expeditionary force; he felt that all fronts should cooperate, so that the Japanese army could not take care of both the north and south battlefields, so he suggested mobilizing Lao Jiang to guard against the Communist Party. troops, together with the Eighth Route Army sent troops to Shanxi.

how can that be?

   is simply a taboo of Lao Jiang.

  Stilwell stayed in China for more than ten years, traveled all over China, and even wrote a diary in Chinese. He is very clear about the current situation in China, but he deliberately ignores the political factors in it.

  Stilwell commented that Jiang Zhi was very talented, and he himself did the same.

  Finally, due to Stilwell’s constant slander, Roosevelt was also extremely disgusted with Lao Jiang, so he demanded that the command of the Chinese theater be handed over to Stilwell. Lao Jiang was furious and directly threatened that if Stilwell was given full command, then China would withdraw from the Allies and fight against Japan independently.

   Well, Lao Jiang was forced to overturn the table, and Stilwell was also dismissed from his post.

   The intensification of the conflict between Stilwell and Lao Jiang can probably be described as follows—

   “I think so.”

   “I don’t think so.”

“You do not respect me.”

   “You rubbish, Shabi will respect you.”

   “Mom sells batches!”

   “I have eighteen generations of your ancestors!”

  …

   Stilwell left Chongqing again, and did a stupid thing as soon as he got back to the front. Because the Deputy Chief of Staff Wen Jianming was in contact with the Military and Political Department, Stilwell thought it was a violation of military discipline. He took the opportunity to sack Wen Jianming’s post and replaced him with an American as Deputy Chief of Staff, making it clear that he wanted to seize the command of the expeditionary force.

   Lao Jiang was so mad that he threw several vases at home. Or he can learn Churchill to break his dentures, which is more powerful. After all, Churchill only had dentures on his upper teeth, while Lao Jiang’s upper and lower teeth were both dentures, and the momentum of the fall should be twice that of Churchill.

   Late August.

  The soldiers guarding outside the gate of Zhou Mansion were transferred, and Zhou Hexuan regained his freedom – the main reason is that the disaster situation in Henan has stabilized, and he is not afraid of Zhou Hexuan and “Ta Kung Pao” talking nonsense again.

   On August 20, Zhou Hexuan received an order from Lao Jiang to summon him.

Lao Jiang is still very kind to the great scholars without any threat, he smiled and took Zhou Hexuan’s hand and said, “Mingcheng has been reading history quite effectively in the past six months. I have already read “The Fifteenth Year of Wanli” Well written! The primary problem in China is the governance of officials, and the bureaucracy is too chaotic.”

   Zhou Hexuan said: “My humble work, I dare not compare it with “The Destiny of China”.”

Chang Kaishen shook his head and sighed: “Everyone in the world loves to hear lies, but it is a pity that I told the truth in the book. Just because I told the truth, whether at home or abroad, I was very saddened by bad reactions. “

   “The world is like this, it’s hard to change.” Zhou Hexuan said along the way.

   After talking nonsense for a long time, Chang Kaishen finally got to the point. He took out a telegram and said, “Roosevelt wants to invite me to Washington to discuss the situation during and after the war in person. What does Mingcheng think?”

   “You should go, but you can’t go to Washington,” Zhou Hexuan said. “If you go to the United States for a meeting, you will definitely lose your momentum, and you will inevitably look up to others.”

  Chang Kaishen nodded and said, “I thought so too, so I refused again and again.”

   In fact, Roosevelt not only invited Chang Kaishen, but also Churchill and Stalin. He wanted to hold a meeting in the United States to discuss Allied operations and the distribution of spoils after the war, but was collectively rejected by Chang Kaishen, Churchill and Stalin.

   No other meaning, everyone is reluctant to hold a meeting in the United States, which is equivalent to acknowledging the status of the United States as an allied leader.

   In the past three months, Roosevelt has sent three telegrams to Chang Kaishen, and the reason for Jiang’s rejection is different each time. He had various discussions with the staff in the Servant Room, and decided that he could not go to the United States. At the same time, he discussed how to divide the interests after the war.

   “Mingcheng is an expert on international issues. Where do you think the meeting should be held so that the emotions of leaders of various countries can be taken into account?” Chang Kaishen asked directly.

   There was a globe on Lao Jiang’s desk, Zhou Hexuan turned it around, pointed to a place and said, “Egypt, Cairo!”
