Although the reply to MacArthur contained no harsh words or domineering questions or rebuttals, the cunning MacArthur could see the hidden secrets in it. [point]
What should you do if you encounter such a thing? Easy to handle, just one word "kill"! If such a violent incident against American expatriates occurs in the area controlled by the US military, MacArthur has only one way to do it, revenge, crazy revenge. Unless he kills corpses everywhere and blood flows into rivers, he will never wave his hand, and he will be more aggressive than the Chinese. ruthless!
Therefore, after reading Tang Qiuli's call back, MacArthur pondered for a while, full of distaste. Since he could do the same thing to deal with the same incident, why should he ask Tang Qiuli to give up the right to retaliate? Besides, that The rebellious Chinese will not give in or change their decisions because of external pressure. Countless facts have proven this. Enough is enough to avoid humiliating yourself. MacArthur comforted himself in this way.
MacArthur has subsided, but Americans' desire to be the world's boss has become more intense. The old habit of meddling in everything is the same. U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt personally sent a telegram to Tang Qiuli.
It was also difficult for Roosevelt, who was sitting in a wheelchair, to condescend and take time out of his busy schedule to send a telegram to that little man Tang Qiuli. The person he had been dealing with was the Chairman of the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China, Tang Qiuli. Despite its strong and rapid rise, it has not yet entered Roosevelt's eyes. Things in the world are enough for the president, who is paralyzed and sitting in a wheelchair, to worry about the interests of the United States.
Most of the energy of the United States is focused on Europe. Without the continuous blood transfusions from the United States, the British will not be able to support the crazy offensive of the Germans. Once the European continent is over, everything will fall into the hands of that crazy Adolf Hitler. It is never in the interests of the United States. Although they live in America, Americans' eyes are on the European continent.
That¡¯s where America¡¯s core interests lie, after World War I. (Just read the novel.) The United States, which has made a lot of money from the war, has used its strong national power and the prestige of victory to regard itself as the leader of Europe. However, the German head of state did not buy the Americans' account at all, and took advantage of the Americans' wishful thinking. Beaten to pieces. Therefore, Roosevelt's attention was all on Europe. As for Asia, he could just maintain the status quo.
But as a die-hard ally of the British, it is really unjustifiable not to show some attitude on this matter. What's more, that Chinese Tang Qiuli was doing too much in Southeast Asia. If things go on like this, it will inevitably endanger the vital interests of the United States in the region. It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to hit this arrogant Chinese.
However, Roosevelt's telegram was very skillful and lacked Churchill's toughness and intimidation. This was also his cleverness. After all, the interests of the United States were closely related to Tang Qiuli. Nothing good would come of irritating the Chinese.
"His Excellency Tang Qiuli, Vice Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the government of the United States of America is very concerned about the bloody violence that occurred in Indochina, and deeply regrets the occurrence of this tragic incident. On this occasion, the United States and China It is a pity that such an incident occurred when the ** team is working together to complete the plan for permanent peace on the Indo-China Peninsula.¡±
"The only way to eliminate the impact of this incident on the smooth implementation of our two countries' war plans against Japan is to handle the matter quickly and properly, and try to downplay the impact of this matter to the smallest extent. , and it is better to handle it carefully with the goal of maintaining internal relations among the allies.¡±
"Regarding the matter of the forty-seven British people, as the President of the United States of America, I have proposed a compromise plan that can hand over the British involved to the custody of the US military in Southeast Asia. The specific matters will be decided by the Commander-in-Chief of the US Military Headquarters. I will consult with you, General MacArthur, and at the same time, we will speed up the progress of the weapons, equipment and material assistance to your department as much as possible."
Tang Qiuli looked at Roosevelt's telegram and had an indescribable feeling in his heart. This Roosevelt knew quite a lot about conversation skills, and his starting point was that he was afraid that he would be affected by the riots in Indochina and delay the Japanese plan to attack Singapore on time. , it seems that the "Operation Tiger Shark Plan" was approved by Roosevelt. ¡¾¡¿
This is the typical style and approach of Americans. Everything puts their own interests first. As for the British, they just mentioned it casually and sold the British to them. In the end, they drew a big pie. It was old-fashioned and boring. Although novel, Roosevelt's compromise plan was so whimsical that it made Tang Qiuli laugh and cry.
Fortunately, the president of the United States, who is sitting in a wheelchair, figured out that if he was imprisoned by you Americans, he would also be handed over to MacArthur. On the way, in this way, it not only shows the weight of the American voice, but also makes the British owe a huge person?.
I am very good at wishful thinking. When I, Tang Qiuli, am an idiot and a fool, and I was deceived by you, a cripple, I will obediently send the British out. Who doesn't know how to do favors? I will obediently let the British go, as a gift. The situation was a happy outcome for everyone, so why let you Americans take advantage? Tang Qiuli suddenly felt a little contempt for this manipulative American president.
Therefore, his reply to Franklin Roosevelt was not so polite, "Dear President, I must handle the violence in Indochina in this way. As for the forty-seven people who organized and planned this riot, There is absolutely no reason why the British should not be punished in the harshest way. Otherwise, I would be ashamed of my dead compatriots and unable to face my living compatriots. Your Excellency the President¡¯s compromise plan is meaningless.¡±
"As for the matters related to the Chinese and American armies cooperating to fight the Japanese army, your Excellency, the President, does not need to worry. It is my unswerving goal to eliminate the Japanese invaders who invaded our territory. Even if there is no coordinated operation between the Chinese and American armies, "Operation Tiger Shark Plan," I will not let the Japanese troops stay in Singapore safely. The riots in Indochina cannot and cannot affect my established goals. "
Tang Qiuli responded to several telegrams in different ways in response to different targets, blocking the big mouths of the great powers. However, everyone's reaction was different. Churchill was not angry to death, but his blood pressure increased due to anger. He used all the vicious words he could think of and cursed Tang Qiuli. Then he became ill in bed and was unable to work normally for several days.
Roosevelt interpreted the information he needed. Tang Qiuli's hatred of the Japanese always came first. No matter what time, it would not affect his decision. For the United States and MacArthur, this was This huge good thing means that the Americans can enjoy the benefits without firing a single shot or killing a single soldier, and can permanently eradicate the Japanese threat.
Churchill had a lot of bruises on his head, so naturally he would not be asking for trouble or scolding. Roosevelt got the information he wanted and was secretly happy. It is in the interests of the Americans for the Chinese and Japanese to compete in the ring. It will not involve the energy of paying attention to the European battlefield, and naturally it will not chatter endlessly, so as not to cause extraneous problems and destroy the current situation.
Chairman Chiang is sincere and has tried his best. The British will not blame him. What's more, how much weight does he have in front of that Tang Qiuli? Chairman Chiang knows in his heart that Tang Qiuli has never stopped Not even a single telegram was answered, which showed all the problems. With Chairman Chiang's sophistication and cunning, he knew very well that the Indochina incident was beyond his control. If he talked too much, he would be asking for trouble.
On April 8, Tang Qiuli signed the report sent by Shen Jun, Director of the Investigation Department, and Yu Deshui, Director of the Intelligence Department, regarding the execution of 130,000 thugs and 47 British people. Regarding this incident A major event that shocked the world, the debate over how many people to kill has been settled.
Tang Qiuli did not look through a large pile of thick lists one by one. He did not want these dirty names to contaminate his eyes, so he marked one on the cover of the report with a large vermilion pen. The big bloody characters read "Kill!" Then, he swiped the large vermilion pen on the list, and the bloody ink formed a ferocious exclamation point on the corner, like a ball of solidified blood.
Prior to this, the specialized department headed by Tang Qiusheng had escorted away more than 70,000 family members of the first batch of thugs, setting off a storm throughout the Indochina Peninsula. Moreover, according to Tang Qiuli's order, the families of the thugs, The news of being escorted into the country was clearly communicated to the thugs who were already dead.
On Independence Day, various temporary prisons where thugs were imprisoned were filled with cries. These thugs, whose hands were stained with Chinese blood, experienced for the first time the ruthlessness of the Chinese. Their families were destroyed, and their wives and children were separated. This is the price the thugs must pay. , no matter how much weeping, no matter how hard you confess, you can't save the fait accompli.
Cruel, Tang Qiuli will be the most ruthless. Before eliminating the thugs' desires, he will first let them suffer mental torture, endure the pain of being separated from their relatives and ending up in a foreign country. When their sinful souls fall into hell, , but also with heart-breaking pain, and no peace forever.
Looking at the big bloody characters signed by the teacher, and then that action, Shen Jun and Yu Deshui looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. The murderous aura, the boundless murderous aura, the murderous aura of the teacher, were all reflected in the bloody word "kill". Neither of them spoke, and looked quietly at Tang Qiuli, who had his back turned to him and his arms wrapped around his shoulders.
Although I didn't see the teacher's expression, I could feel the extreme unrest in his heart from the back view. After a long time, Tang Qiuli turned around and Shen Jun asked: "Sir, the plan has been made. All preparations have been made. Everything is ready. Do you think the specific execution time should be set on that day? "
A cold smile hung from the corner of Tang Qiuli's lips, and he said with cold eyes: "Tomorrow, April 9th, these beasts have already lived in the world for more than twenty days. Let the gunshots of justice ring through Central and South China tomorrow. peninsula!"
