Chapter 116 Tutor
In the Oval Office of the White House, a small talks are going on. There are all kinds of "small talks" almost every day here, but many talks are enough to affect the whole world. It is in this room that the United States, which does not accept its subordinate position in handling international affairs, has made a series of breakthroughs in the United States. The behavior of the continent.
Under the strong auspices and promotion of Roosevelt, the president who is eager to lead the United States to the international stage, the U.S. Navy has made great progress. Coupled with its strong economic and industrial strength as its strong backing, he was able to effectively intervene in the affairs of the surrounding and even more distant regions and successfully resolve the British Armed disputes caused by debt between European powers such as Germany and Italy and Venezuela, military protection and economic assistance to the Dominican Republic, which also owed debts to Europe and the United States, incited Panama to leave Colombia, so as to control the isthmus of Panama, mediate the Moroccan crisis... and so on, and Recently, he has been actively mediating the Russo-Russian War and successfully ending the Sino-Japanese conflict. Perhaps he is unwilling to admit that this white building and this oval office, which had been set on fire by the British, are playing a role in international affairs.
"Our country's battlefield observers have sent back some reports, Mr. Special Envoy, are you interested?"
Roosevelt, sitting behind the firm desk, smiled and looked at Huang Huiyun in front of him.
Today, he took the initiative to invite Huang Huiyun to the White House. On the one hand, he attended the reception held by the White House, and on the other hand, he was to discuss some issues with him, such as figuring out the bottom line of the Chinese people on some issues.
"Of course!"
Huang Huiyun nodded, which he did not deny, and even happy that the president noticed the difference between the [***] team and the Qing [***] team, which had to change a basis for his impression of China.
"Compared with any Manchu Qing army, the current Chinese Royal Guards Army has more offensive spirit. In addition to a large number of simple curved guns and automatic weapons, perhaps it is the offensive spirit and nationalism that support this army to win on the battlefield!"
When reading this report, Roosevelt deliberately ignored the most important summary in the report.
"... The middle [***] team does not have enough qualified senior officers. Their officers are actually too young. Many young senior officers are unqualified or even incompetent from the perspective of the West.... Their tactics are too stiff and lack flexibility. The staff is in the middle *** At the core of the team, the number of high-level officers with excellent quality is limited. They had to transfer a large number of officers to the General Staff. In the end, all the actions of the [***] team were ordered by this brain. Although radio and telephone compressed the time of issuing orders, they still had an impact on the army, ... he To some extent, our victory is more due to the extensive use of new tactics and new weapons. Although the officers are too young to bring negative effects, it also has a positive effect. This young age allows them to use new tactics without hesitation..."
When Roosevelt spoke, Huang Huiyun just smiled politely. He didn't understand the military and it was inconvenient to interrupt.
"In the past, we have said that Chinese people can't be excellent soldiers, but today, maybe we may not want to face it, but we have to admit that once the Chinese people are strictly trained, they can become the best soldiers in the world, and may not even be inferior to Prussian soldiers... Mr. Huang, This is perhaps the most amazing praise I have heard. I have to admit that the image of your country is changing because of the efforts of the soldiers!"
Putting down the report in his hand, Roosevelt looked at Huang Huiyun and said seriously. In the early stage of the outbreak of the conflict, when a report was sent, he could hardly believe that his eyes that the Chinese army could defeat the Japanese army. Perhaps the army was exhausted. But it's not so that he can't believe the final facts.
And this "miraculous" reversal made him look at the [***] team with new eyes, and his view of China has also changed.
"Mr. President!"
Maybe Huang Huiyun doesn't know the military, but he knows why those soldiers fought.
"In the past, we were unwilling to fight for the colonists, just as the vast majority of Americans were unwilling to help the British during the American Reading War. I once read in the newspaper that "Chinese soldiers and Japanese soldiers fought for their own majesty in the land of the northeast." I don't agree with this. Yes, our soldiers are soldiers of the Royal Guard, but our soldiers are not just fighting for Your Majesty! Even fight for the country!"
"Oh?"
Roosevelt was stunned. He didn't think there was anything wrong with fighting for His Majesty. Aren't the British, Germans, and Russians all fighting for their Majesty? Don't the soldiers of every country in the world fight for the country? Of course, the past Qing [***] team should be excluded.
"Other countries may fight for your majesty and the country, but for China!"
An oriental bitter smile appeared on Huang Huiyun's face, looking at Roosevelt, who looked a little suspicious.
"Mr. President, you must know that 261 years ago, we lost our own country, and a nation became a slave of aliens. In order to rule the nation that created oriental civilization, the alien race killed almost all the elites of this nation with a butcher knife. After 260 years of slavery, 200 million creatures were killed in the alien race. In the policy of fooling the people, this nation is in danger of the fall of the nation again because of backwardness. The lessons of history tell us that we must fight for survival!"
"Fight for survival?"
"Yes, Mr. President! Fight for survival! This is the foundation of our soldiers fighting on the front line. They shoulder not only the expectations of your majesty and the expectations of the country, but also the hope of whether a nation can survive in the world. For your majesty, your majesty will be disappointed, for the country, the country will be disappointed, you can survive..."
Huang Huiyun's high hat made Roosevelt fall into meditation. Roosevelt did not know that Huang Huiyun was wearing a high hat for the army, but he could understand this concept of fighting for survival.
"Survival is invincible and uncompromising! If it fails, it will be at the cost of the complete death of a nation, right? Your Excellency the Special Envoy!"
"Mr. President, we have only one expectation. The nation can survive in the world, the country can be established in the world, and the friendly countries are waiting for me. This... is our only requirement."
Huang Huiyun did not answer Roosevelt's question directly, but answered with what was specially emphasized in the secret telegram received three days ago.
"To some extent, the Han people have never been an expanding nation. We don't have much demand from the outside world, which has been like this for thousands of years!"
"So how should you explain your actions in the Dutch East Indies?"
Roosevelt blinked his eyes, as if to expose Huang Huiyun's disguise.
"The price!"
Spit out a word with a powerful voice, and Huang Huiyun said seriously. Roosevelt's sudden change of topic made him understand that perhaps Roosevelt wanted to act as a mediator between China and the Netherlands. Any American and diplomats in the United States are why President Roosevelt is keen on "international mediation".
Roosevelt tried to use "international mediation" to expand the influence of the United States on the international stage, so as to achieve the purpose of expanding the influence of the United States in the international community, play a role in continuous international mediation, and finally realize the improvement of "international status". This may be Roosevelt's intention.
After understanding the purpose of Roosevelt's invitation to the White House for the "reception", Huang Huiyun immediately thought about how to answer Roosevelt's question without arousing the disgust of this "potentior important partner".
Show weakness, obviously not. The American surnames make them dislike the weak, and the weakness will be regarded as bullied by them. It's not enough to be tough. It's necessary to take into account Roosevelt, the face of the president of the United States who is eager to expand the proof of "American influence".
"Every country needs to pay for its own actions. Now China still pays the price for the colonization it has suffered. In spirit, land and wealth, it pays for its own actions. Mr. President, if I remember correctly, this is an international principle advocated by you!"
After choosing to respond with the "international principles" that Roosevelt had advocated, the smile on Huang Huiyun's face slowly disappeared, and his expression became extremely solemn.
"Is it possible that only Asian countries need to pay for their actions, while European and American countries do not need to pay for their actions? The Dutch massacred Chinese expatriates, so they have to pay the price! Not only in terms of money, this price must be able to remind them from time to time. When they start the next action, they will remember the price they paid for the last stupid behavior. The price paid by the Spaniards is Cuba and the Philippines, and China... Mr. President, what we need is Lan Fang!"
Huang Huiyun's solemn voice seemed to be a little low, with some questioning colors. When he said almost every word, Huang Huiyun would say it as slowly as possible, so as to think about the next sentence in his mind. While not showing weakness, he could take care of Roosevelt's face.
In this rhetorical tone, Huang Huiyun threw everything to Roosevelt. According to his meaning, China was just "engaging in international affairs in the way advocated by Mr. Roosevelt", without showing weakness, and praised Roosevelt and the United States as "the mentors of Chinese diplomacy", which can be said to care of Ross. The face of Fu and the United States, but China's final request changed the atmosphere of the Oval Office. ( To be continued.
