    Speaking of this, Pearson said with great solemnity: "The purpose of my coming today is to officially tell you on behalf of the US government that the United States has included your Anti-Japanese Federation among the aid targets of the Lend-Lease Act. And before October  , officially began to provide you with necessary supplies and various equipment you need."

    "It's just that considering the current international situation and the domestic production capacity of the United States, we will not be able to provide you with the weapons and equipment you need at least this year. But starting next year, the U.S. government will officially begin to provide you with the weapons and equipment in accordance with the standards of the Lend-Lease Act.  American weapons and equipment.¡±

    "In addition, taking into account your weak economic conditions, the U.S. government has decided to provide you with an unsecured low-interest loan of US$25 million before the end of the year to maintain your weak economic foundation and not be affected by this damn  "

    "However, dear Yang, you must guarantee that this loan cannot pay for your debts owed to the Soviets. You can only spend this loan on purchasing American supplies and developing your own internal economy. This is what the US government does for you.  A loan for you, not a loan for the Soviets."

    "If the U.S. government discovers that you are providing loans to the Soviet Union, the U.S. government will terminate all loans to you at any time. Because this loan is used by the U.S. government to assist you. If you use the loan for other than projects developed by the United States,  Then the U.S. government can consider that you no longer need U.S. financial assistance and terminate this loan and all subsequent loans.¡±

    "As for the material assistance to you, considering the current domestic situation in China and the domestic political trends in the United States, the assistance to you will not be carried out together with Chongqing. Instead, it will be temporarily carried out together with the US aid to the Soviet Union.  Accounting and statistics. The amount you need is temporarily included in the share of aid to the Soviet Union. "

    "Yang, the U.S. government has its own reasons for considering this. First, considering China's current domestic situation, it is difficult for Chongqing to allow U.S. aid supplies to reach you smoothly. In addition, we must consider your government's protests, and  Domestic Opposition in the United States.¡±

    ""Previously, the United States suspended the assistance and export of all supplies that could be used for military operations, including petroleum products, military steel, rubber and other supplies, because of protests from Chongqing.  Even the rest of the supplies were exported to you on humanitarian grounds.

    "For diplomatic reasons, the U.S. government still needs to be more cautious in some matters. After all, we cannot force Chongqing to cooperate with the Japanese alone in order to protect themselves. We do not want any harm to occur under the current situation.  The traditional friendship between the Chinese and American governments has happened.¡±

    "Yang, you have to know that you are not a legal government now. Your army still relies on the help of the US government to obtain at least the name of a government army in name only. Your Yan'an side is still a local government in China.  . The U.S. Congress will not allow us to export weapons, equipment and supplies to a local government and part of the government army.¡±

    "The Chinese government currently recognized by the United States is still Chongqing. Although the White House and the U.S. Army both believe that you will be of considerable help to the United States in the event of a war between the United States and Japan. So we can only treat you as  The aid is temporarily included in the aid projects to the Soviet Union.¡±

    "You should understand that what China needs now is a united and integrated Chinese government and military. The United States cannot accept a divided China and military. It will not allow any merger between the two regimes in Chongqing and Nanjing.  possible."

    "So after comprehensively considering diplomatic reasons, and that Congress and the people will never allow the U.S. government to provide material aid to a non-governmental army, we have decided to unify the aid materials given to you from the materials aided to the Soviet Union.  Accounting. Of course, this is only in name. In fact, all supplies will be provided to you individually according to your needs.

    "As for your current conflict with the Soviet Union, we will come up and find a way to help you solve it. The reason why the British did not come with me to see you today is that they made a special trip to Moscow to resolve this matter in response to their domestic requirements.  . If the British come forward, I think the possibility of solving this problem will be greatly increased. "

    "After all, the production capacity of the United States has not yet expanded enough to support the Soviet Union in reversing the current war situation. The assistance that the British have begun is very important to the Soviet Union. With the British coming forward, I think the Soviets will eventually  And not only the British will make concessions, but the United States will also come forward.?Coordinate this matter.  "

    "The U.S. Embassy in the Soviet Union has begun to contact the Soviet Union on this matter, and is also in contact with your representatives in Moscow. However, the Soviet Union is very wary of our private contact with you. Despite repeated requests, we  We have not yet been able to see your representative in Moscow. In view of the current situation, we have reported to the embassy and are preparing to contact your office in Chongqing instead. "

    In response to Pearson's words, Yang Zhen frowned slightly.  From Pearson's mouth, he heard two things that he had never thought of before.  First, the reason why the United States cut off petroleum products, military steel, and military materials from the Confrontation Alliance was because of protests from Chongqing.

    Secondly, the British actually showed more enthusiasm in this matter than they expected.  From this point, Yang Zhen can be sure that the British are determined to drag themselves into the trap in Southeast Asia.  Otherwise, the British, who give priority to all interests, will never be so enthusiastic.

    The British have this idea, and Americans who also feel the growing threat from the Japanese army in Southeast Asia will definitely not disagree.  If the United States and Britain reach a tacit understanding or agreement on this matter, it will only do a lot of harm to themselves and no benefit at all.  Yang Zhen must not interfere in future wars in Southeast Asia and not serve as a scapegoat for the British. This is Yang Zhen's determination.

    ¡°But Pearson¡¯s words clearly express a certain attitude of Americans.  Yang Zhen doesn't care what the British think.  But as Americans think, Yang Zhen has to consider what kind of impact it will have if he refuses.  Americans have always been realistic. If they don't do what they ask for, there is nothing they can do about themselves.  But if they start with assistance from the Anti-League, it will be a considerable threat to themselves.

    As for Chongqing¡¯s protest against the Americans selling aid supplies and equipment to itself, this was both within Yang Zhen¡¯s expectation and beyond his expectation.  It is expected that Chongqing, which is trying its best to win US aid but is basically empty-handed except for some loans, will definitely be jealous and envious of the large number of aircraft sold and assisted by the Americans.

    I am almost going crazy trying to get US aid, and I even think that these things should be given to certain people who should be given to me. It is almost impossible without some manipulation.  When Pearson told the reason why the United States controlled the export of the Anti-Union in the previous paragraph, Yang Zhen could immediately figure out what actions some people had done based on certain experiences, which made the always tough person in the White House also have some taboos.

    Although the information about how many planes the Americans gave them was definitely not leaked by themselves.  But people in the United States must have their own sources of intelligence.  According to American practice, some things can be concealed, and some things are not impossible to find out as long as you have some knowledge.  Besides, the military commander there also has an intelligence agency in the United States.

    As far as Yang Zhen knows, after the fall of France, the Americans withheld a large part of the aircraft ordered by France. They took this opportunity to grab a bargain to supplement Chongqing, which was in urgent need of combat aircraft. They had already made a purchase proposal.  .  However, Chongqing, which is really strapped for cash, wants to purchase these aircraft, but it has to ask for a loan from the Americans first.

    Since they still want to buy aircraft without money, and the British are also in urgent need of combat aircraft and do not want to fall out with the Japanese too early, the Americans naturally reject the export of these aircraft.  However, the Japanese occupation of southern Vietnam made the Americans feel a thorn in their backs, and the British really felt that these aircraft were not suitable for their own use. The two countries combined to give these aircraft to Yang Zhen.

    ¡°I wanted to buy it but couldn¡¯t. In the end, these aircraft were given to my old rival at a price that was almost free, which already made the chairman of the Chongqing Committee very dissatisfied.  Coupled with the subsequent collection of information about Americans exporting materials to the Anti-League, it will definitely make him even more angry.

    Who is this man?  He can't do scheming, but if he does something behind the scenes, it's still very clever.  He can't handle the British, and he can't handle the White House.  But he can still attack those members of the U.S. Congress who like to go to extremes, and he can also find places to attack.

    No matter what the relationship between the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Soviet Union is, just by the common word on their heads, Yan'an and Moscow believe in the same ancestors.  You can easily get a few congressmen and make them bite like crazy for a while. It is impossible for the owner of the White House to have no taboos at all.

    Although the leader in Moscow once said to the people of the Nationalist Government who went to the Soviet Union to buy weapons, the people in Yan'an were all margarine.  The leader's evaluation certainly caused no loss to the Alliance.  But the key thing is that he never said this to Americans.  Some of his views on Chinese comrades, Americans?I don¡¯t know.

    The power of American congressmen is quite good.  Although they cannot play an absolute role, at the very least, those people can still be quite lethal when necessary.  The old gentleman in Chongqing may have won over some congressmen and put a lot of pressure on some top figures in the United States.

    It is true that these congressmen do not have much power, but the interest groups behind them, especially those that are inextricably linked to the Japanese, are still very lethal.  In addition to the so-called **, the leader of the White House, who had just started his third term, used such a trick to hide the truth after the large-scale aid began.

    Although the government can¡¯t really decide anything in the United States, as Americans who claim to be the ¡°model¡± of the government, they still have to do superficial things.  In fact, no one takes the opinions of ordinary people seriously at all.  As long as Wall Street behind the scenes doesn't say anything, the government is just a rubber stamp.

    It¡¯s just those politicians who can use it as a tiger-skin banner at any time when necessary.  But superficial articles still need to be done.  Coupled with the pressure exerted by the Japanese, the White House will also be somewhat taboo.  Especially now that senior U.S. officials have very different opinions on sanctions against Japan and aid to China, taking some roundabout ways is also a way to solve the problem.
