For Stilwell's politeness, Zhou Weiguo was quite surprised.
Moreover, Stilwell's Chinese is quite standard, if it were not for Stilwell's face, Zhou Weiguo would have thought that this was said by an authentic old Beijinger.
"The Chief of Staff is polite, Wei Guo is fortunate to meet His Excellency the Chief of Staff."
Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Zhou Weiguo also knows that no matter what kind of holiday Stilwell and Chairman Jiang have, at least, Stilwell's attitude makes him much more comfortable.
You know, when he first came to the headquarters, he was on a cold bench.
"Haha."
Stilwell smiled, "Chinese love to talk falsely, that is, kind words, but my Stilwell's words are not false."
I've long wanted to meet you, the world-famous General Zhou. ” Zhou Weiguo also smiled, "The chief of staff also saw it." ” "Hahaha."
Stilwell laughed, "I recalled you to the headquarters this time because I think that your vision and talent should be more suitable for the general direction, rather than leading the troops to the front line." ” "Actually, Wei Guo thinks that in the command and the front line, it is the same."
Zhou Weiguo smiled helplessly, but when he returned to the headquarters, he still had to ease the relationship, otherwise, China and the United States would really have a stalemate, and it would not look good.
He didn't want that because of his butterfly, all the changes that he didn't have would have appeared.
"Huh."
Stilwell sighed, "I was in Chongqing a few days ago, and I had a meeting with Chairman Jiang and others, and pointed out the distribution of our American aid to China. ” Zhou Weiguo was really shocked, originally he just saw such a thing from the information in the history books, but he didn't expect this to be really ruthless, "Result, no result" Stilwell nodded bitterly, "In fact, the entire conference room, after I said these words, fell silent.
Your chairman has moved directly to the next topic. ” Zhou Weiguo rubbed his eyebrows, "Chief of Staff, the situation in China is relatively complicated, and now in China, whether it is the Kuomintang or the Communist Party, they are all resisting Japan.
But for the chairman, the existence of the Communist Party is almost his counter-scale. ” "But even so, if it hadn't been for the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to jointly resist Japan, I'm afraid there would not be the current situation."
Stilwell still knows a lot about China.
What's more, the United States has a multi-party system, which has what everyone thinks is democracy, so Stilwell also wants to help China complete the transition to democracy and wants to help the CCP.
Stilwell was naturally dissatisfied with Lao Chiang's use of aid only for his troops.
The aid of the United States is for the whole of China, and the CCP is naturally also Chinese Zhou Weiguo nodded, if there was no united anti-Japanese front earlier, indeed, the current situation may be worse.
With the chairman's temperament, I am afraid that he will not let go of the opportunity to suppress the CCP.
Because Chairman Chiang's slogan has always been that if you want to go outside, you must first settle inside.
Of course, "if you want to go outside, you must first settle inside" was not invented by Chairman Chiang.
Its earliest source is that Prime Minister Zhao Pu said in an excerpt to Song Taizong: "China is peaceful, and the people are self-serving."
If the deceased husband wants to go outside, he must first settle inside.
When faced with internal and external difficulties and major crises of governance, in order to cope with the crisis and maintain their rule, successive rulers often focused on the internal and external aspects of the country.
In the feudal era, this must be a good medicine, because it was the feudal era.
At that time, the royal family naturally would not let power fall aside.
However, in modern times, various democratic revolutions have been taking place, China has no emperor, and with the tilting of Japan, the situation in China has actually been quite bad.
In particular, after the September 18 Incident, Chairman Chiang did not organize anti-Japanese resistance, but continued to suppress the Communist Party.
"I didn't expect that the chief of staff would be so familiar with Chinese affairs."
Zhou Weiguo smiled, "It's very admirable." ” "You don't have to praise me, this is a very common thing in the eyes of us Americans."
Stilwell waved his hand, "Where there is competition, there will be all kinds of virtuous circles."
In my opinion, the Kuomintang is already rotten wood and difficult to regenerate.
China's hope lies in the Communist Party.
I don't know how many people in the Kuomintang are selfish and corrupt, these are already too serious, and the government management is also very bad, you see, how funny it is that your chairman of the committee will send our aid materials to his own team, but let these teams look at the anti-Japanese armed forces of the Chinese Communist Party."
Zhou Weiguo sighed, "That's true, this is where China is complicated. ” "To be honest, I'm a soldier, a pure soldier."
Stilwell thought for a moment, "Your Excellency the President has given me the goal of defeating Japan, so I will mobilize all my forces to accomplish this goal."
Before I came, I knew very well that I would not be able to succeed if I could not obtain command of the Chinese army.
Therefore, the condition for accepting the mission that I put forward was to obtain command of the Chinese army. ” Zhou Weiguo nodded, he was not clear about these insiders.
This condition was told to Song Ziwen by Marshall and Stimson in person.
They told Soong that we would send you a top American general, but in exchange he would have to take command of the Chinese army.
And Soong Ziwen received an affirmative reply from your Chairman Chiang.
And I, after receiving this affirmative answer, got up in China.
Stilwell shrugged, "So, for now, your chairman has handed over the command of the 5th and 6th armies to me, which is quite true." ” Zhou Weiguo nodded.
"However, the cultures of China and the United States are different after all."

Stilwell sighed, "Even so, I wear many hats now, so I need someone to help me." ” Zhou Weiguo probably understood, "I'm not helping you, but to defeat the Japanese." ” "Hahaha."
Stilwell smiled, "That's my goal too, isn't it, so, we can work together" "Not bad" "As for your chairman, the goals are different from mine, and there are some things that are of course considered differently, which is normal."
Stilwell sighed, "I just hope that everything goes well."
Dear Zhou, what do you think about the war in Burma?"
After talking for a long time, Stilwell finally talked about the war.
Zhou Weiguo frowned, "The British have not allowed the expeditionary force to enter Burma before, although I don't know what happened, but I have to wonder if anyone has accepted the benefits of the Japanese." ” "How is this possible," Stilwell was taken aback, "since the Washington Conference, no one will be in the same league as Japan again." ” Zhou Weiguo was only suspicious, so he nodded, "Hopefully, however, Japan has now taken Mawlamyine, and Rangoon is already close at hand, but fortunately, the Fifth Army has arrived in Rangoon, and it should still be able to resist the Japanese offensive."
That way, we have time to lay out slowly. ” Stilwell nodded, "Yes, thanks to you for being in time, otherwise, once Rangoon falls, the strength of the Japanese will increase by a few points." ”:
