Chapter 57 White House VIP

"Your Excellency, I have noticed that your country has always emphasized the terms "total annihilation" or "annihilation", and so far, your country has captured less than 400 soldiers in this war. Does this mean that your [***] team refuses to capture enemy troops when fighting!"

Roosevelt's question made Huang Huiyun frown. This extremely unfriendly question was beyond his imagination.

"This question, I am not a soldier, but whether it is total annihilation or annihilation, it is a military term. Mr. Roosevelt, in his speech last year, Jinzi Jiantaro, he mentioned that the army will never surrender on the battlefield. They will fight to the last person. I think the Eastern law of war is not Europe. What American culture can understand is that in Eastern culture, there is a saying that "not a prisoner for life". For oriental soldiers, being born as an enemy prisoner is a great shame and a great disgrace, which is unacceptable to any soldier.

After a little silence, Huang Huiyun turned to express a report in the English newspaper.

"During the first battle, the Imperial Guards had a reconnaissance force, which was ordered to carry out reconnaissance missions behind the enemy. Later, they encountered the Japanese army and completed the task to cover their comrades-in-arms. Six soldiers voluntarily stayed to block the enemy. The soldiers emptied the last bullet. If according to the humanistic spirit of the West, they had completed it. Their own responsibilities, but the values they have formed since childhood have made them choose to die with the Japanese army with the most grenade. There is an Eastern civilization in the East, especially for China, a country that has created the whole Eastern civilization!"

Speaking of this, Huang Huiyun looked around the audience in the stadium, and he tried to make his voice low.

"In the past, when we were subjected to alien slavery, we naturally did not want to work for the colonists. Were the free American people in the war willing to serve the colonial army? But at this time, after the liberation of the nation, each of us Chinese is willing to give our lives for the country and the nation. China may be a weak country, but please don't doubt that every Chinese is loyal to the country. In the face of foreign aggression, 200 million murdered lives remind us what we should do. The thing is to fight to the last person, either defeat the enemy and proudly survive in the world, or the whole nation will die in a great war!"

When his voice fell, the whole stadium, which lasted for several seconds, was completely silent. Everyone looked at the polite banker in surprise. They never thought that a banker could say such a sentence.

"It's better to be a dead ghost than a subjugated slave! This is the voice of a nation! Similarly, it is also the fate of a nation!"

When Huang Huiyun's voice fell, thunderous applause and cheers sounded in the stadium of Harvard University. In the applause, everyone was shouting his words.

"It's better to be a war ghost than a subjugated slave!"

Roosevelt muttered this sentence in surprise, at least today, which has been branded into his heart.

"Now that the negotiations between your country and Japan have broken down, my special envoy, what is the purpose of your country's war? When will the war end?

"When our desire for peace was regarded as weak by me, the whole empire had already made a decision not to talk about peace with the Japanese army before it withdrew from China! The only bottom line of peace and our only purpose is the full withdrawal of the Japanese army from China!"

Half an hour later, as soon as the speech and questions were over, the Harvard University Club soon printed thousands of copies of Huang Huiyun's speech and distributed them to branches, public groups and politicians everywhere. At this time, Smith, the host of the World Expo, promised to print 2,000 copies at his own expense and distribute them to the relevant people at the meeting.

Although Huang Huiyun only smiled when he got the news, because Smith had also printed 2,000 copies of Jinzi Jiantaro's speech "at his own expense", but Huang Huiyun was very satisfied with this result. He knew that when such a chain reaction occurred in various places, it would make China's position on the conflict between China and The proposition spread quickly among the American people. To a certain extent, China can gain the trust and sympathy of the United States.

"We still need to continue to increase the benefits of tackling key problems!"

As he said, he thought that he should buy that American newspaper again. Everything is valuable, especially in the "money society" of the United States. American newspapers need advertising fees, and Huang Huiyun doesn't mind paying hundreds to thousands of dollars to those newspapers every week. The United States alone absorbs 30 million dollars of bonds every week, and the money is also worth it.

"President, Mr. Roosevelt left you a note."

After the car left Harvard University, he accompanied Huang Huiyun to the United States and handed him a note.

"Mr. Special Envoy, you can submit your business card to the White House at any time. I believe Mr. President will be very happy to meet you! The door of the White House will always be open to the winners! Your friend Franklin? Delano? "Roosevelt!"

Looking at the content of the note, Huang Huiyun couldn't help laughing. The little Roosevelt could beat the snake with a stick. Now he has become friends with him. Moreover, the boy was scouraging himself. Perhaps from the beginning, he knew that President Roosevelt would agree to meet him, and his "persuasion" was needed there. It's an emergency to the doctor.

"I think your intelligence agency should establish a Theodore? Roosevelt's file!"

When he heard this, he was a little surprised. Huang Huiyun stuffed the note into his pocket.

"Of course, this is just a suggestion, this boy... Who knows what will happen to him in the future?"

"President, where shall we go next?"

did not respond to Huang Huiyun's suggestion. The intelligence agency would collect information about American dignitaries, but this was not what he needed to ask, but he didn't mind submitting a report asking for attention to the Franklin? Delano? Roosevelt. .

Cars are driving on the streets of Washington. There are not many cars on Pennsylvania Avenue. Even in Huang Huiyun's opinion, there are not as many cars in Washington as Nanjing. When he saw many "Song" cars running on the street, there was a smile on his face. Every time foreigners buy a Mustang Cars are equivalent to contributing 201.25 yuan to China's political axe. Even last month, Japan still continued to contribute to China's war against Japan. They imported hundreds of cars.

When the car drove to the White House at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, he looked at the open lawn of the White House from the car. Huang Huiyun couldn't help admiring in his heart that there may be only the United States in the world. Even civilians can enter the White House at will, and then work in the White House. The personnel handed out their business cards and asked to see the president.

There is only the United States!

Huang Huiyun, dressed in a Western-style dress, walked out of the car with emotion. Occasionally, tourists and parliamentarians who entered and left the White House cast a strange look at the Oriental with gold one-sided glasses. Some people had recognized him and whispered one after another.

After entering the reception room of the White House, with some uneasiness, Huang Huiyun handed his business card to the staff of the White House.

"Please!"

"Please wait a moment!"

The staff said politely, and then left the reception room.

"Will he meet himself?"

Although he has received little Roosevelt's advice, Huang Huiyun is still a little uneasy now. After all, he knows that this will be Theodore? Roosevelt was extremely contemptuous of China to some extent. Huang Huiyun still remembers that he had read some of his speeches in the newspapers when he was in the United States. Many of them would take China as an example to remind Americans to be rich and not forget national defense, otherwise the United States would become the Chinese of the Americas.

I hope... Just as I was praying in my heart, in an instant, another door of the reception room opened. It was President Roosevelt who came out of the room who Huang Huiyun was going to visit this time, wearing a suit and with eight-character thick beard Theodore? As soon as Roosevelt saw Huang Huiyun, he enthusiastically and actively stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Huang Huiyun.

"Your Excellency, you asked me to wait. Why didn't you come earlier?"

The unexpected enthusiasm made Huang Huiyun feel flattered. He didn't expect that he would receive this kind of courtesy, which was far beyond his imagination.

Although the president has been analyzed in His Majesty's confidential telegrams, he will definitely have a friendly attitude towards China because of his interests.

When they entered the elliptic office arm in arm, they felt that Huang Huiyun was flattered. Roosevelt nodded with satisfaction, which was exactly what he wanted to see. The envoy would definitely convey the goodwill of the United States to the elected emperor.

Two years ago, he did not discuss with the Secretary of State and ordered himself to issue a statement against Russia, accusing Russia of pursuing an unfriendly policy towards the United States in northeast China. Roosevelt privately revealed that the reason why he made this statement was to let the Russians know that "the United States is serious."

It is based on the warning of the United States that Russia was forced to make a temporary concession and agree to open all northeastern ports except Harbin to the great powers. But the Russians' answer was not reliable, and Roosevelt also understood that a war against Russia could not be accepted by the Americans, so it could not go to extremes. In the same year, the United States forced the Qingzheng axe to sign a commercial treaty to ensure the opening of ports in Northeast China. Hai believes that this is a great victory for Roosevelt's policy towards China. But the Russian threat still exists.

And the ambition of Northeast China provided Roosevelt with an excellent opportunity to attack Russian forces. The intervention of the Three Kingdoms has caused a great setback to Japan's development in the Northeast, but its dream of establishing a hegemony in the Northeast has never been abandoned. It is not easy for Japan to replace Russia and become the hegemon of the Northeast with limited national strength. In addition to military preparations, it is also necessary to seek diplomatic support.

The United States did what it liked, and many parties hinted that they would fully support Japan's action. If the United States gave me a look, "they would immediately pounce on the throats of the Russians." It was through repeated stimulation by the Americans that they would have started a war against Russia last year. After learning the news, Roosevelt thought that he was "serving" for the United States.

However, however, Roosevelt did not want Japan to win a complete victory. He just only wanted to use Japan to suppress Russia. Therefore, when Japan won a great victory in Lushun, Roosevelt began to worry again. After the victory, he became arrogant and would "turn against the United States", and it was impossible for Russia to accept it. The conditions made their answers, and according to intelligence analysis, even if Japan wins the war, the United States' attempt to use Japan to realize the plan to open the gateway to the Northeast will be completely ruined by Japan's desire for "exclusiveness". Instead of this, it is better to help China maintain their control over the Northeast. Now China But it is a fully open China.

The submissive little man betrayed the United States! For Roosevelt, who only had American interests in his eyes, the Japanese "betrayal" made him realize that the United States must find a suitable spokesperson in the East, while China took the initiative to jump out at the most appropriate time, and the combat effectiveness of their army far exceeded his imagination.

"Mr. Special Envoy, have you seen my statement of solemnity and neutrality urging your country to resume peace talks with Japan?"

Huang Huiyun, who had just sat down, answered quickly after hearing President Roosevelt's words.

"I have read it, but I am very disappointed. It is hard for me to imagine that the United States, which regards freedom as its life, ignores the most basic demands of a country that yearns for peace."

His answer fell to Roosevelt's expectation, and then he said in a firm tone.

"The President of the United States expressed neutrality, but I am on China's side. I believe that your country will win on land!"

"Yes, Mr. President, I also believe that with the efforts of 1.6 million soldiers, we will be able to win the land war!"

Roosevelt's position was so unexpectedly subtle, which surprised Huang Huiyun, but he immediately raised his worries.

"However, Mr. President, we do not have a strong navy, and we not only have a strong navy, but also signed the Anglo-Japanese Alliance Treaty with Britain. Now for China, the only thing we can rely on is our friends on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. If the United States can't provide maritime security in the south of our country. If we endorse it to protect your investment in China, then we may eventually lose this war!"

Huang Huiyun's no concealment made President Roosevelt satisfied. China is different from Japan. Japan has a strong navy and a strong army. They must rely on the help of the United States to end the war with Japan in a decent way, although neither country thinks it is a war.

"Mr. Special Envoy, if there is an alliance against China, I will immediately take China's side and do my best to use all necessary means to safeguard China's interests!"

When Roosevelt vowed to make a promise, he cleverly replaced the navy with an "alliance". If Britain intervenes in the conflict, then it is reasonable for the United States to intervene. If it's just a matter of their two countries, then... let them solve it by themselves! In Roosevelt's eyes, the best outcome is that Russia and Japan will continue to contain each other, both of which are weakened. As for China, it is only possible to play its role after Russia is seriously weakened.

"Mr. President, in order to enable China to become rich and strong as soon as possible, we have formulated a foreign policy of comprehensive opening up to the outside world. Although your country's opening-door policy has sacrificed China's interests to a certain extent, I still hope it will be good in the future. As long as it can be maintained through diplomatic agreements, but as the entire history of Taiwan has proved, once a powerful country decides not to admit it, it will disappear. But only with the existence of the Chinese Empire, he will not give up opening up to the outside world. This is the only way for the nation to seek a new life! Isn't this more wonderful than the open-door policy maintained by the diplomacy of the great powers?

Huang Huiyun did not directly point out Roosevelt's "spec disease", but began his lobbying. In His Majesty's words, it was to draw a big soup garden for the Americans. As for whether the Americans were hollow after eating, it was China's own business.

"Now, whether other countries are willing to admit it or not, there is an unavoidable practical problem in China, that is, the era of treating China as a weak and bullying opponent, blindly exerting pressure and military threats is over. Now the only cooperation can win China's market, not pressure or force. ! The foreign policy of the Chinese Empire is that we try our best to maintain friendly relations with all countries, but this premise is equality. We are willing to cooperate with any country that can wait for me peacefully at any level of economic, political and even military cooperation, such as the United States!"

When Huang Huiyun told this, he paid attention to Roosevelt's expression and saw that Roosevelt did not show too many complicated emotions before he continued.

"A forging ahead China needs American technology, machines, and even universities. The United States has the world's largest industrial body, while China has the world's largest market, and this is a market that is completely open to the United States. Before last year, it was difficult to find American goods in the northwest hinterland of China, and Now, in Lanzhou, a tweed factory built entirely with American machines is under construction. On China's railways, a quarter of the locomotives are made in the United States, while a locomotive factory invested by the United States in Zhengzhou has broken ground. In Shanghai, the Sino-US joint venture oil refining enterprise has been put into operation last month, Mr. President, For the United States, is it more in the interests of the United States to be a China controlled by great powers due to the failure of the war, or is it more in the interests of the United States to be an independent China?

Through clever narration and the last rhetorical question, Huang Huiyun successfully left a question to Roosevelt. The same question is also a fact that he constantly repeated to the American people, politicians and businessmen at speeches and dinners. Only reading China is in line with the interests of the United States, of course, it is a commercial interest! And this is exactly what Americans are pursuing.

Business interests, for the United States, what they pursue in East Asia is only commercial interests, and what they need to do now is to do what they like.

"Mr. Special Envoy, you must understand that the United States cannot be involved in a war!"

Roosevelt now has no need to hide the American bottom line, because he can't ignore Huang Huiyun's "suggestion", and he then asked another question.

"Now that the negotiations between China and Japan have broken down, I think you should continue the negotiations. The United States is willing to play a full role in the negotiations to ensure China's interests. Special Envoy, I think you should convey this message to your emperor!"

Perhaps because he was worried that Huang Huiyun or the emperor did not understand his intention, Roosevelt added another sentence.

"I know you are eager to restore your glory with a war, but I need to remind you that if the Russian fleet is defeated, your country will definitely face the threat of the Japanese navy, so for the benefit of China, now is undoubtedly the best time! And I am willing to send this message to Japan on behalf of China.

"Mr. President, first of all, I thank you for your kindness, but Mr. President, I have a question in my heart!"

Huang Huiyun, who was smiling, did not directly reply to this suggestion.

"Huh?"

"If China is willing to truce now, can His Excellency the President guarantee that Japan's withdrawal of troops and China's sovereignty in the Northeast will not suffer any losses?"
