Although Germany, China and Japan did not hold the second round of "three-party talks", thanks to the efforts of Germany, China and Japan sent new representatives to "re-contact". He was assassinated on Jeju Island by the Japanese, and the Japanese knew they were wrong, so they agreed to the arrangement of the Germans and put the location of "re-contact" in Qingdao.

The Japanese representative was Kawagoe Shigeru, the Japanese ambassador to China, and the Chinese representative was Zhang Qun, the former foreign minister of the Nationalist Government and the current secretary-general of the Supreme Council of National Defense, and Zhang Jizheng, the son of Zhang Qun and the youngest of the ten Jiang Weiguo brothers.

Obviously, Zhang Qun represents Chiang Kai-shek, and Zhang Jizheng represents Jiang Weiguo, and Zhang Jizheng's son actually has more say than Zhang Qun's father.

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly!" Kawagoe Shigeru said with difficulty, "Your side asks too much and is too ruthless, which makes it very difficult for us to accept..."

"What's unacceptable!" Before Shigeru Kawagoe finished speaking, and Zhang Qun hadn't spoken yet, Zhang Jizheng slapped the table, his whole person glaring and aggressive, "You have occupied so much of our land, let you spit out part of it, you It's 'unacceptable'? Damn! It's like you stole my 100 yuan, and now I ask you to pay back 50 yuan, and you still feel unacceptable? It's just a shameless gangster logic!"

Shigeru Kawagoe stared dumbfounded at Zhang Jizheng, who was furious and furious, and Zhang Qun also stared blankly at the side. Zhang Jizheng not only took the lead, but even had an "unreasonable" impulse.

Zhang Jizheng was born in 1918. He was only 20 years old at this time. He was already in the youngest age group. What's more, he worshiped the "starling" Jiang Weiguo wholeheartedly. He knew that Jiang Weiguo was assassinated by the Japanese and was still in danger of dying at any time. , he has long hated the Japanese.

Before coming as a representative, Xiao Yao instructed Zhang Jizheng: "As long as you don't scold others, the more arrogant the better!" That's why Zhang Jizheng was so irritable at the negotiation meeting.

After being criticized by Zhang Jizheng, Shigeru Kawagoe couldn't help being angry: "We have already made a major concession for the second time, but your side has no sincerity, and even intensified, and you have to look forward to Shu. It is too deceiving! The Empire of Japan is by no means A soft persimmon who can be blackmailed by others! The Imperial Army of Japan..."

"Your imperial army is being completely defeated by our Greater China army on the battlefield!" Zhang Jizheng snatched the words again and sneered, "If you don't give it at the negotiating table, then we will take it on the battlefield! I'm afraid, you will lose money on the battlefield." will lose more than what is lost at the negotiating table right now!"

Shigeru Kawagoe was furious: "Just hit! The Empire of Japan and the Imperial Japanese Army will accompany you to the end!"

Zhang Jizheng was also furious: "Okay! Let's see who is afraid of whom! If you don't teach you a lesson, you really don't know how much you weigh! What the hell!"

Kawagoe Shigeru and other Japanese representatives walked away, Zhang Jizheng and other Jiang Weiguo representatives also walked away, leaving Zhang Qun and other Chiang Kai-shek representatives and German representatives looking at each other silently, shaking their heads and smiling wryly.

On the negotiating table, the two sides are fighting with each other, tit for tat, and sparks are flying;

On the battlefield, the two sides fought fiercely to the death, fighting each other with their lives, and a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

On the Zhangyuan and Pingjin fronts, the Nanjing Army and the Japanese Army confronted each other without any large-scale exchange of fire. The mobile units of the Nanjing Army supporting the defenders all fought desperately. The entire Chengde City was "crazy and collapsing, the sea of ​​blood was everywhere, the mountains and rivers trembled, and the world was moved." The Japanese army attacked frantically, and the defenders frantically defended. At night, they took the initiative to kill the enemy with large-scale hand-to-hand combat. The demons danced wildly, the world was purgatory, the white swords were all red, the snow was all red, the corpses inside and outside the city were like mountains, and the dead were countless.”; , Chengde's brother troops no longer passively defended, and took the initiative to attack on local battlefields.

On the night of January 1, the 11th Division of the Japanese Army crossed towards Xingtai via Julu, intending to contain the Nanjing Army that surrounded the 13th Division or join forces with the 12th Division. Part of the 12th Division was ordered to intercept the 77th Division. In the division, the assault troops were in cars, led by Zhang Lingfu, Hu Lian, Huang Baitao, and Ji Zhangjian.

Before the attack, the four of Zhang Lingfu shouted to all the officers and soldiers: "This battle must be won! At least one of the major generals of the Japanese army must be killed! The four of us issued a military order here. If we can't do this, the four of us will commit suicide collectively." ! Brethren! Who are we?"

"Nanjing Army! Dragon Soul Army!" The roar of the officers and soldiers was like a tsunami.

"What is the honorary title of our No.70 Seventh Division?"

"Invincible!" The roars of the officers and soldiers were earth-shattering and shocked the whole world.

"This is a giant deer!" Hu Lian said, "Back then Xiang Yu used 40 Chu troops to defeat [-] Qin troops here! Our predecessors can do it, so can we!"

Due to the shortage of troops and the shortage of troops, there were only [-] soldiers in the attacking force, but the [-] Nanjing Army launched an attack on the entire division of the Japanese army without fear.

In the extremely cruel and fierce battle that cannot be described in words, the Nanjing army that attacked the Japanese army was as brave and powerful as if "possessed by evil spirits".

The 13 Nanjing Army was almost killed in battle, and Ji Zhangjian was also killed in the fierce battle, but more than 26 Japanese troops were killed, and the 116th Brigade of the 58th Division was abruptly defeated. Sota Uki was killed in the scuffle. The brigade commander, Major General Numata Shigetoku, was hacked into flesh by the Nanjing soldiers who swarmed up in the hand-to-hand combat. His head was cut off by the Nanjing soldiers and brought back to claim credit. Only the [-]th The commander of the regiment, Cangsen Gongren, survived and gathered the remnants of the brigade.

Colonel Cangmori recalled with lingering fear after the incident: "...They attacked us like a group of lunatics, chasing us like wolves. They chased and killed us all night, and at dawn we found out that there were only 500 people left in the Nanjing Army, but they still insisted on chasing and killing me as a unit. It is simply unbelievable, but they did so .

I realized later that they simply looked down on us and despised us, so they were full of a sense of spiritual superiority towards us. Why didn't a wolf dare to chase and kill a group of sheep?A regiment of the Imperial Army had the courage to chase and kill a division of the Chinese Army. Because the Imperial Army was strong, the Imperial Army looked down on the Chinese Army, and a battalion of the Nanjing Army had the courage to chase and kill a regiment of the Imperial Army.

This is really sad! "

On the North China battlefield, the national army and the Japanese army fought inextricably. Punctual, although the Japanese army tried their best to win the game, they were deadlocked because of the tenacious fighting of the National Army (Nanjing Army).

However, the Nanjing Army did not have enough stamina after all. If it continued like this, after a month, the Nanjing Army would really be unable to hold on.

On January 1, when China and Japan were fighting to the death, a new war broke out.

The battle area is in China. One side is the Japanese army and the other is the Soviet army. The location is Zhanggufeng in the northeast.

Japan and the Soviet Union did not border each other before the Russo-Japanese War. After the Russo-Japanese War, the two countries bordered. The northern part of the island belongs to Russia, and the southern part of Sakhalin Island, which is south of [-] degrees north latitude, belongs to Japan. Since the demarcation line is one size fits all, and Sakhalin Island is a place of bitter cold, there is basically no territorial conflict between the two countries in Sakhalin Island; After the September [-]th Incident, Japan invaded and occupied Northeast China. Although the puppet Manchukuo was not Japan’s territory, there was no essential difference. Japan and the Soviet Union could be said to be bordering each other, and territorial issues became complicated and serious.

For hundreds of years, Soviet Russia has been using all kinds of brutal, despicable, and insidious methods to forcibly snatch China's territory, resulting in numerous and complicated territorial conflicts between China and Russia (Soviet Union), and many problems left behind have been "inherited" by Japan up.

In addition, the territorial dispute is only an obvious inducement. The real reason is: Japan has great grievances and territorial ambitions towards the Soviet Union. Worried that Japan will use Northeast China as a base and springboard to attack the Soviet Union behind its back. Therefore, both sides need to test each other's reality, and Zhang Gufeng's border dispute is one of them.

Zhang Gufeng has always been Chinese territory, but Tsarist Russia deliberately played word games when the Qing government signed the "Aigun Treaty". In the Chinese version of the treaty, it was recognized that Zhang Gufeng belonged to China, but in the Russian version of the treaty, it was claimed that Zhang Gufeng belonged to China. Tsarist Russia, the Soviet Union inherited Tsarist Russia's territory, and also inherited Tsarist Russia's greed for other countries' territories, so pretending to be confused, they also claimed that Zhang Gufeng belonged to the Soviet Union, which caused the Soviet army and the Japanese army to repeatedly wipe out their guns in the Zhanggufeng area. .

Originally, some high-level hardliners in the Japanese army had planned to "teach the Russians a lesson" and "see how the red Russians' combat effectiveness is in Zhanggufeng." However, with the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War and the casualties of the Japanese army Unprecedented and heavy losses, Japanese high-level leaders worried about "falling into a two-front war against China and the Soviet Union" and "China and the Soviet Union colluding to deal with Japan", so they became restrained and tolerant on the Zhang Gufeng issue, and this matter was subsequently dismissed. The delay dragged on (in the original history, the time of Zhanggufeng broke out from the end of July to the beginning of August 1938), Japan and the Soviet Union gathered heavy troops in the Zhanggufeng area. They were preparing to fight before, but now they were defending against each other.

In the early morning of January 1th, a regiment of the Far East Army of the Soviet Red Army in the northeast of Zhanggufeng conducted a "live ammunition exercise". As a result, they were counterattacked by the 18th Regiment of the 4th Brigade and the 7th Wing of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army stationed nearby. The two sides fought a big battle, killing and wounding two to three hundred soldiers.

One stone caused a thousand waves. This large-scale and unprecedentedly serious armed conflict immediately detonated the gunpowder kegs of the Soviet and Japanese sides on Zhanggufeng, and ignited the dry firewood on Zhanggufeng. Immediately, a large number of troops were increased, and two divisions were mobilized. The 4th Division of the Japanese Army was also dispatched to Zhanggufeng to prepare to meet the Soviet army. The 2nd and 6th Divisions in Jilin Province received an order to go north for reinforcements.

The high-level officials in Tokyo were shocked immediately, and then felt even more flustered. Right now, the Chinese army is launching a "North China counterattack". The Chinese and Japanese armies are fighting, and the Japanese army is still losing. If they declare war on each other, Japan's already extremely pessimistic situation will inevitably worsen.

It is unlikely that the Soviet Union and Japan will declare war on each other. However, the Soviets will definitely take the opportunity to slaughter the Japanese and attack the Japanese authorities who are stuck in the quagmire of the Sino-Japanese War. Maybe China and the Soviet Union will join forces to deal with Japan. Then the situation facing Japan has completely deteriorated out of control.

In Berlin, Hitler was ecstatic after learning about the Zhang Gufeng incident: "Thank you so much to the Soviets! Thank you so much to Stalin! This armed conflict came at such a good time!"

Chiang Kai-shek in Wuhan and Jiang Weiguo in Jinan were equally overjoyed after learning of the Zhang Gufeng incident. Both father and son knew that this incident was a great thing for China.

Carl Haushofer, who was conducting political and diplomatic activities in Japan, couldn't help but be overjoyed. He hurriedly called on Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe, Chief of the General Staff Headquarters Prince Kanin Miyazaihito, and Minister of Military Command Fushimi Gong Hiroshi The prince, Minister of the Army Umezu Yoshijiro, the Minister of the Navy, Kawako Shiro and other high-level Japanese military and political officials and important officials of the royal family: "Look! The threat of the Soviet Union is in sight! Japanese friends, we have already said that China and Japan will continue to fight. I am the happiest! China has enmity with the Soviet Union, Japan has enmity with the Soviet Union, and Germany also hates the Soviet Union, why don't we three parties unite?"

For this rhetoric of the Germans, all the Japanese high-level officials either agreed or acquiesced, and basically no one objected.

The Zhang Gufeng incident played a huge role at this critical juncture, and the armed conflict that caused the Soviet-Japanese relationship to deteriorate sharply broke out at "just the right time."

On January 1, under the mediation and good offices of Germany, the Japanese side notified China through the German channel: Japan is willing to immediately cease war with China and conduct a new round of peace negotiations with China.

At this time, at the forefront of the Soviet-Japanese conflict in Zhanggufeng, the Japanese army retreated in an all-round way, and the Soviet army marched forward triumphantly. Amidst the Japanese army's humiliation, the Soviet army not only completely occupied the Zhanggufeng area, but also occupied the nearby original area with an area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers. The territory belonging to China also took the opportunity to be brought under the control of the Soviet army, and Tokyo and the Japanese army hated the "Soviet people who took advantage of the fire";

On the Zhangyuan and Pingjin front lines, the Nanjing Army and the Japanese Army are still in a confrontation. The Nanjing Army is unable to counterattack, and the Japanese Army is also unable to counterattack;

On the battlefield in southern Hebei, the Japanese army and the Chinese army (Nanjing Army, Henan Central Army) fought in a dark and dark environment. Although the Japanese army did not suffer much defeat in the overall situation, the number of soldiers lost exceeded [-];

On the Chengde battlefield, the defense of Chengde, which has lasted for thirteen days, is still going on with unprecedented brutality. The Japanese army has captured four-fifths of the urban area, but more than 17 people have been killed or injured. Although the Nanjing army has only one-fifth of the urban area left , but still resisted tenaciously. The 5000th Division was exhausted. There were less than [-] people in the whole division including the wounded. The people of Chengde suffered a total of more than [-] casualties.

On the negotiating table in Qingdao, the Japanese side formally submitted the latest conditions for the armistice to China via the German side:

First, Japan recognizes that Suiyuan Province and Chahar Province have become Chinese territory again, and is additionally willing to return Hebei Province and Beiping City to China (the Japanese cannot accept the return of Liaoning Province, which belongs to the northeast region, to China.

According to the new conditions of the Japanese, among the three provinces and three cities that were occupied by China after the July [-]th Incident, all three provinces were returned, and the three cities were returned to one city, but Tianjin in the north and Shanghai in the south were still retained. This is because Tianjin and Shanghai are important. , a major port city, and Tianjin belonged to the territory of the Japanese North China Front, and Shanghai belonged to the Japanese Central China Front, allowing the two fronts to retain the last "foothold" in order to preserve the Japanese Army's last face);

Second, Japan allows the Chinese army to station a regiment with no more than 3500 troops in the southern part of Sakhalin Island (Japan’s homeland at this time includes Japan’s original four islands, the Korean Peninsula, the Ryukyu Islands, the Taiwan Islands, and the southern part of Sakhalin Island Naturally, it is impossible for the Japanese to allow the Chinese army to station troops on the four islands of the mainland of Japan. Taiwan is sensitive in nature, and North Korea and Ryukyu are not very convenient. Therefore, the Japanese only allow the Chinese army to operate in places where the weather is cold, sparsely populated, desolate and cold, and transportation is inconvenient. , the lowest value in all aspects, and the southern garrison of Sakhalin Island directly bordering the territory of the Soviet Union);

Third, Germany and China must give Japan "sufficient" compensation (Germany has spent a lot of money).

After getting the latest conditions from the Japanese, Jiang Weiguo smiled. He really smiled happily. He knew that although there were still many regrets in the latest conditions, he had indeed tried his best to get rid of them. The Japanese are getting back the maximum. Although it is far from enough, at present, it is indeed "enough".

The Japanese originally occupied eight provinces and three cities in China, and now they spit out three provinces and one city (Suiyuan and Chahar provinces were actually brought back by the Nanjing Army, not counting the Japanese who spit them out on their own initiative), so China is still lost There are only five provinces and two cities left in the territory (four northeastern provinces, Taiwan, Tianjin, and Shanghai), and the Chinese army has also obtained the right to station troops in Japan (although it is only the most important area, and it used to be China's territory). This is truly a "first in a millennium", and the significance in all aspects is endless.

Jiang Weiguo did his best.

However, there is a prerequisite for such a huge benefit: China must listen to Germany and join the Triple Alliance of Germany, China and Japan.

Section 401 Triple Alliance (1)

On January 1939, 1, China and Japan formally negotiated a second peace and armistice.

China and Japan have to do this. China lacks stamina. Once the war drags on, the situation will immediately fall into an unfavorable decline. Japan is on fire in the backyard and is in a dilemma. Coupled with Germany's mediation and vigorous mediation, China is happy to take advantage of the situation and close it. However, the Japanese side feared that they would fall into the extreme disadvantage of being attacked by China and the Soviet Union, and suffered from the enemy on both sides. Therefore, although they suffered a lot, they were forced to take advantage of the slope to get off the donkey.

This "Sino-Japanese Winter Battle" broke out on December 12 and ended on January 13, and lasted for 1 days. In this battle, the Chinese side invested a total of about 23 troops to participate in the battle (about 40 from the Nanjing Army and about 45 from the Henan Central Army. The army is about 25, and tens of thousands of reserve militiamen from Shandong and Jin provinces participated in the battle), the Japanese side has invested a total of about 15 troops to participate in the battle, and there are more than 23 puppet Mongolian troops and more than 2 puppet Manchukuo troops to assist the Japanese army in combat. The fighting areas include Hebei In the four provinces of Suiyuan, Chahar, and Rehe, the Chinese army took the initiative to attack and the Japanese army passively defended. The two sides launched more than ten battles in Fengzhen, Liangcheng, Zhangyuan, Chengde, Handan, Xingtai, and Julu. In the end, it ended with the victory of the Chinese army.

In the entire battle, the Chinese army had a total of about 11 casualties (the Nanjing Army had about 7 casualties; the casualties include the regular militiamen of Lu and Jin, excluding the temporary militiamen of Chengde), of which about 4.4 were killed and 6.6 were injured. More than 10 Chinese people were killed or injured in the war (about 8 were casualties of Chengde people); the Japanese army had a total of about 8 casualties, including about 3 dead and 5 injured, and about 1.7 puppet Mongolian soldiers and about 1.3 The Puppet Manchukuo Army was wiped out by the Chinese Army.

After the Sino-Japanese armistice, a new round of peace negotiations began immediately.

At this point, the overall situation has come to fruition.

Compared with the first peace agreement and armistice, the current second peace agreement and armistice has more "international significance", because the first peace agreement and armistice have not been directly linked to the three-nation alliance between Germany, China and Japan, and the current second peace agreement and armistice are completely related to Germany. The Sino-Japanese Triple Alliance is linked.

A truce, a peace negotiation, and a peace negotiation must be logically concluded with the Three Kingdoms Covenant of Germany, China and Japan.

The matter was so important that Jiang Weiguo did not dare to be rash, so he secretly flew back to Wuhan to meet Chiang Kai-shek.

After the father and son met again, there is no need to say much about the normal state of father and son's deep affection. Both of them are big figures, and now is a critical moment for the fate of the country, so there is no extra time to waste, and the two quickly went straight to the topic.

In Chiang Kai-shek's study, the father and son had a secret conversation.

The international situation is changing. Because Jiang Weiguo has "superhuman strategic mind and strategic vision" and the situation is serious, Chiang Kai-shek and Jiang Weiguo are very close to each other.

Through this conversation that lasted more than three hours, Jiang Weiguo was surprised to find that his old man is not a politician who only knows how to play tricks and is proficient in playing tricks. Although his military accomplishments can only be said to be so-so, his strategy The eyes are indeed quite shrewd.

Chiang Kai-shek has always been obsessed with using the power of the great powers to end the Sino-Japanese War, so he paid close attention to the changes in the international situation, and conducted repeated and in-depth thinking and analysis (in the process, the strategists and military strategists in the high-level national army must have been help and assistance), and summed up a lot of forward-looking experience (the following content is based on "Chiang Kai-shek's Diary").

First of all, Chiang Kai-shek was already mentally prepared for Germany to abandon China and unite with Japan. In Chiang Kai-shek’s view, the establishment of the German-Japanese-Italian Axis camp was not too bad for China, and even very good for China, because Japan invaded China alone. It is just a "local war" in the world. If Japan partners with Germany and Italy, the nature will change, which means that Germany, Italy and Japan will fight a world war. Naturally, the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union will definitely not be able to stay out of the Sino-Japanese war. , because the Sino-Japanese war will soon become a part of the world war. At that time, the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union will definitely reinforce China and invite China to join the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. The two camps of the Soviet Union have both sides (Although China is weak, but whether it is Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union, we still have to pay a certain amount of attention to China; Chiang Kai-shek did not plan to join the German, Italian, and Japanese camps, but he had planned to use this to "coerce" Germany , let Germany put pressure on Japan, force Japan to give up its invasion of China, and urge China and Japan to negotiate a peace and armistice, so as to prevent China from falling into the camp of the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union; Chiang Kai-shek originally intended to join the camp of the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union. After the United States and the Soviet Union became a common ally, it would be inconvenient for the Soviet Union to continue to 'infiltrate' and 'mutilate' China", but he decided to deliberately delay the time not to join, using this as a political bargaining chip to "coerce" the United States, Britain, France, the Soviet Union and Germany; in the original history, During the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek negotiated peace with Japan many times. On the one hand, it was because China really couldn’t stand it anymore, and he himself couldn’t stand it anymore. Increase aid to China to prevent China from falling to the sun; in addition, in the original history, after the official establishment of the German-Italian-Japanese Axis camp, some high-level government officials proposed to Chiang Kai-shek to recall the ambassador to Germany and sever diplomatic relations between China and Germany In order to express to the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union that China opposes the alliance of Germany, Italy, and Japan, Chiang Kai-shek gave a clear rejection; what Chiang Kai-shek was most worried about was the attitude of the Soviet Union. He was afraid that the Soviet Union would join the four-nation alliance of Germany, Italy, Japan, and the Soviet Union. At that time, China would really be doomed. , and he worried that the United States would not enter the war for a long time, and Britain and France would not be able to stand up to Germany).

As we all know, Chiang Kai-shek is a "pro-American faction", but he is not the kind of "pro-American faction" who wants Americans to be his godfather. Just because the United States is strong and can defeat Japan, Chiang Kai-shek "has to" become a "pro-American faction". group".

In Chiang Kai-shek’s mind (according to what he wrote in his diary), “The violent Axis powers, the cruelty of Soviet Russia, and the stingy selfishness of Britain and the United States are not enough to be friends and do not want to be friends with others. They all conspire to harm me and monopolize China.”

It can be said that Chiang Kai-shek doesn’t really like the United States and Britain. He actually has a grudge against the United States and Britain, because the United States and Britain will not save China, and even entrap the Chinese in order to please the Japanese (for example, the United States and Britain refused to sell to China weapons, the British even closed the Burma Road during the most difficult period of China’s war of resistance); in addition, Chiang Kai-shek is the leader of the country after all, he himself has strong self-esteem and national self-esteem, but he was once humiliated by the British (after the outbreak of the Pacific War , Britain’s Far East colonies were threatened by the Japanese army. Chiang Kai-shek had voluntarily stated that China could help Britain defend Britain’s Far East colonies. In fact, he was implying that China could join the British camp. As a result, he was attacked by the British Governor of India and the commander-in-chief of the Indian British Army, Admiral Wavell. The arrogant refusal made Chiang Kai-shek deeply humiliated. In fact, during World War II in the original history, although the three major powers of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union were all allies of China, the Soviet Union never stopped plundering China, and the United Kingdom extremely Contempt for China, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once publicly declared that "China is only a third-rate or even fourth-rate country". The USSR got a fraction of that.

It is conceivable that Chiang Kai-shek actually led China to fight the world war behind the US, Britain and the Soviet Union with an extremely humiliating mentality. He repeatedly instructed the military and political high-level diplomacy with the United States "We only want US aid, not the US to be too emperor") Chiang Kai-shek has the most The country that favors the United States is not the United States, but Germany (Chiang Kai-shek is actually a "pro-German", but he clearly knows that the United States is stronger than Germany, so he rationally turns himself into a "pro-American"). The degree of antipathy between Italy and Japan is different, and he wrote in his diary: "If it is clearly analyzed, Japan is hostile to me, Italy is malicious, and Germany is unintentional, but it has to be done by itself. However, Yu Dingde has no certain malice towards Yu so far, so it is more forgivable.

In the midst of the most intense international turmoil, I can only strive for self-reliance and self-improvement, without relying on or seeking, and preparing for the final change.

As long as you can be self-reliant and not afraid, you will be lucky!" (Chiang Kai-shek basically said "Wa" when referring to Japan in his diary) It can be said that although Chiang Kai-shek was dissatisfied with Germany's behavior of being close to Japan and alienating China, he believed that Germany was in East Asia. All these are done to deal with Germany’s enemies in Europe. Germany’s indifference to China is only out of helplessness, which is understandable, and Germany has indeed helped China to the maximum within the scope of Germany’s capabilities. In addition, Chiang Kai-shek believes that the relationship between Germany and Japan It is not as close as Japan's propaganda, Germany and Japan are just a relationship of mutual use.

To sum up, Chiang Kai-shek does not feel close to the United States, Britain and France, he is full of hatred and vigilance towards the Soviet Union, he is naturally full of hatred and hostility towards Japan, and he is as fond of Germany as Chiang Wei-guo (Chiang Kai-shek’s affection for Germany is definitely not as strong as Chiang Wei-guo’s) .

Objectively speaking, Chiang Kai-shek is indeed not easy. Even in the original history, China became an ally with the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, and China's situation is still aggrieved and difficult. Because the war strategy adopted by the United States is "Europe first, then Asia", so the United States treats Among the three allies of Britain and the Soviet Union, China paid the least attention.

Stalin once admitted that "without the aid of the United States, we would have lost the war." Relatively speaking, the strength of American aid to China was only "to maintain the national government from surrendering."

Song Meiling and other high-level Chinese officials went to the United States to ask for aid, just like "international beggars begging for money", hoping to get "alms" from the United States, full of bitterness, humiliation, and helplessness.

The numbers are the clearest. During World War II, the number of machine guns that the United States aided China and the Soviet Union was as follows (not using rifles as an example, because the Soviet Union can produce rifles by itself on a large scale and does not need American assistance): The US aided China with about 0.9 machine guns There are more than 13 machine guns aided to the Soviet Union, and the comparison is clear at a glance. As for other materials, the gap is even greater.

Of the U.S. aid to Britain, the Soviet Union, and China, Britain received about 71.5%, the Soviet Union received about 25%, and China only received about 3.5%.

Yes, the U.S. helped China, but it didn’t really help (Special note: Sino-U.S. relations during World War II were not between beggars and givers. Even if a beggar only gave a dollar to a beggar, the beggar should not be too little. Because this one dollar is given for free, and China and the United States are allies, and they jointly fought against Japan. China did not take the money from the United States for free. To help China to the maximum extent, the United States should give less, and China should feel that there is too little. After all, Japan is also an enemy of the United States.
