Pershing is really moved by the deal that the Chinese Communist Youth League has made. However, to make this decision, it is necessary to sacrifice the British and French allied forces. Because the Chinese Communist Youth League is stationed in Trouvat, it is necessary to cut off the posterior route of the British and French allied forces from the suburbs of Paris to Reims to Verdun. At that time, more than one million British and French allied forces will be trapped in the encirclement of Chinese and German troops.
Pershing is not alone in making such an important decision. He can decide to send this top secret information to the President of the United States. Finally, the President of the United States gave him a line in return. The American Expeditionary Force is a war of independence.
***
The negotiations between the US delegation and Qu Weiqing’s delegation in the suburbs of Orleans are going on fiercely.
However, on the whole, there are signs of relief because both sides have a desire for a truce.
Recently, the Chinese Communist Youth League came out and asked the US military not to support the Chinese Communist Youth League and the British army not to shelter the British army.
The Americans did not agree to this question, saying that the United States and Europe are independent units, the British and French Coalition forces are not allied with the American team, and one of the enemies is the German team
The U.S. government hopes that the two armies will have a good talk to clear up the misunderstanding and promises to persuade the British government to compensate the Chinese workers for their wages and apologize to them.
At the same time, the Americans also asked the Chinese regiment not to support the German team in secret, such as whether the Germans could form a military alliance or not.
Zhang Yiping sat here and talked for a few days without results. Hu Weide came to persuade Zhang Yiping almost every day these days.
Hu Weide believes that it is best for Americans to negotiate without involving the British and not to complicate the issue. It is enough for the United States to reach an armistice agreement. The British issue should be discussed by the British alone.
However, Zhang Yiping finally believed that the end of the Chinese * * American Expeditionary Force War was caused by the Americans’ protection of the British crimes. If the Americans did not correct this mistake, it would be impossible to reach a truce.
Because Zhang Yiping insisted on the final negotiation, it was difficult to move forward.
Zhang Yiping, he is really waiting for the result from Jiang Fangzhen.
This day late at night, Zhang Yiping was awakened by a confidential staff member and handed him a note. When Zhang Yiping saw the horse, he woke up Qu Weiqing, Hu Weide and others in the conference room.
Everyone is wearing pajamas. There are Hu Weide and Zhang Yiping in formal suits. Hu Weide is wearing a suit because he is always strict. Zhang Yiping is wearing a military uniform because he is about to leave here.
The meeting room was brightly lit. Zhang Yiping said to them, "Tell you the truth, after careful consideration by Chief of Staff Jiang Fangzhen and I, we think Mr. Hu’s opinion is very pertinent and realistic."
Hu Weide’s face lit up and asked Zhang Yiping. Zhang Yiping replied with a positive expression, saying, "Mr. Hu said that if we are negotiating with Americans, we should not get too involved in the British problem. It is not necessary for us to find the British to solve it in the future. There is too much involved here."
Hu Weidema asked warily again, "There is no need to get involved here. Is there any mystery in this sentence?"? “
Zhang Yiping laughed and said, "There is no mystery. If the Americans promise not to support the British Expeditionary Force’s actions against the Chinese regiment, we will not support all the military actions of the German regiment against the American regiment."
On hearing this, Hu Weide said appreciatively, "Commander-in-Chief, this is a British move, and it is also the best way to reach an understanding. The contradiction between us British people should be discussed by us British people. If everything is intertwined, there will be no result …"
"Mr. Hu said yes! Thank you for saying that I "Zhang Yiping praised him rarely. Although this old guy is always chattering, some technical problems still depend on him. After all, he has been engaged in diplomatic work for many years, and the Chinese * * group, including Qu Weiqing, is a layman.
"I will be satisfied if the two armies can achieve a real ceasefire this time," Hu Weide said with emotion. "It’s quite understandable that we fought against the British army. It’s simply inexplicable to fight with the American army."
"I’ll leave it to you when I get it back," Zhang Yiping said.
"You have to go again. You need to control it here." Hu Weide said a little against his will. He really wanted Zhang Yiping to go and wait for the draft articles to be signed by a plane. It’s best not to even look at them.
"I’m really not suitable for these negotiations. I’ve been sitting here for a few days, which makes me panic. I’d better go back to the army anyway. There’s nothing here. Just call me when you need my signature to get things settled. I believe you completely." To be continued.
Chapter 494 betrayal
After dawn, Zhang Yiping arrived at Sans Castle, where the staff officers were already busy going in and out. Zhang Yiping quickly walked to the command room, where the teachers and chief of staff of Jiang Fangzhen divisions had gathered together.
As soon as Zhang Yiping came in, the officers called on him to salute Zhang Yiping, and Zhang Yiping reciprocated and walked directly to the rostrum.
Zhang Yiping toured a group of generals and said, "From today on, the action of the Chinese Communist Youth League may have a major impact on the whole world pattern and historical trend."
"Although we have influenced the historical trend of the world since the establishment of the’ salary-seeking group’, I still think that the real influence on the historical trend of the world may be followed by military actions these days."
The generals had never heard Zhang Yiping say such serious and profound words, and they couldn’t help discussing them.
Zhang Yiping paused for a moment and continued, "It is possible for our regiment to reach an armistice agreement with the Americans. This time, it is a real non-aggression and not as nominal as it was last time."
What will be the effect of a non-aggression agreement? Generally speaking, it was because Americans still looked down on us at that time and could easily destroy us. Now they know that it hurts and we are not easy to provoke, so they are honest and never dare to start a war lightly again. "
"We are not afraid to start fighting again," said an officer.
"Why should they call a truce? Wouldn’t it be nice to wipe out their department?" Zhang Yiping knew it was Hu Congfu’s sound as soon as he heard it.
Zhang Yiping didn’t scold Hu Congfu this time because he knew that people with ideas like Hu Congfu should make up the majority of the US troops, so the Chinese regiment could definitely defeat them.
"I know there’s nothing wrong with having an American in your heart, but playing a few more bombs. But the United States is a country and what about us? …
We are just a team of 150,000 people with no foundation … There is nothing compared with the United States that makes the United States fear us because we are a group of people who are not afraid of death. Americans want to destroy us, but we have to pay a heavy price … "Zhang Yiping was silent for a while and then said," Although the price is heavy, I don’t want to hear the truth myself, but the reason why the price is heavy is that the United States has to bear it. It is a country with a vast territory and population, rich resources and industrial base, and we really have nothing to say. "
"At most, end up with them, afraid of him!" Hu Congfu call way again
Zhang Yiping said, "If it’s time for the enemy to perish together, I, Zhang Yiping, will definitely die before you."
"I just said that the United States is strong, not that I am afraid of them. Will I be afraid of death when I come to this world naked and have no worries?"
It is a strategy to make a temporary compromise with the Americans. It is too hard for the British and French people to pick and choose the soft persimmons, so they should put them aside first and then pick them up slowly.
"So I’m a little confused. It’s not that I don’t pinch it, but that I pinch it first to make it softer, and then I slowly clean them up. We all know what it’s called in the 36 plans." Hu Congfu asked
"There is no mention of persimmon in the thirty-six plan?"
"Then think of it as the 37th plan. It’s the 37th persimmon that I’m proud of."
Zhang Yiping went on to say, "Although the US military has temporarily stopped fighting, I want to say that Americans are still our potential enemies. You must not take it lightly when you meet Americans, and you must never be too polite. You can always eat anything, but you can’t suffer. If you encounter their provocation, you will be given a hard fight back."
"white!" The bottom people all said
"Well, it’s up to Chief of General Staff Jiang to talk about the next military deployment," Zhang Yiping said.
Jiang Fangzhen coughed a few times to stop everyone’s voice before pulling the back cloth to reveal a huge map.
Jiang Fangzhen said, "We have a secret deal for the US military to withdraw from Trouvat in return for the withdrawal of our 15th Division from Kesuwa.
You may have guessed that this transaction is meaningful! Our occupation of Trouvat will pose a threat to the British and French allied forces in the northern front line, and the withdrawal of the 15 th Division from Kesuwa is equivalent to letting go of a cloth bag so that the US military can retreat to Lyon from the ground. "
"Americans are so mean. Doesn’t that mean betraying their allies?" Although Hu Congfu hates the British, he also feels contempt for the treachery of the US military.
"Americans don’t have allies, they are not allies in a strict sense, and the US military is a separate unit to bind them." Zhang Yiping said, "It is a shame for Americans to do so. There is no morality at all because of national interests."
"At present, the railway lines in Lyon and Dijon have been cut off and repaired, and it will take at least three months to restore this railway line with the assistance of the 15th Division and the 14th Division of the local activities of the French Red Army.
Nearly two million military supplies in this area depend on these two railways.
At most, the US military supplies can support for one month, and now it’s almost over. If they don’t retreat, they will be able to eat roots and turf. "
Jiang Fangzhen went on to say, "Although this time it has been secretly agreed, we still have to guard against it. We can’t take it lightly. This is an American conspiracy. The battlefield has always been fair."
"My plan is that the 16th Division will be responsible for receiving the coordination of the foreign corps in Trouvat City, and at the same time, the 11th Division and 12th Division will prepare for the attack. If the Americans make any moves, we will outflank them from there and leave them in Trouvat completely."
"We should always be careful. Americans don’t play tricks, or we will make them pay more," Jiang Fangzhen said.
***
Xiao Meng, the American troops have packed up and prepared to leave Pershing overnight. He stayed up all night. It was very difficult for him to make this decision, but he had to make this decision again.
The president didn’t tell him what to do, but Pershing’s personal understanding is to let him handle it by himself, because this is a military decision, not a political decision. The military decision is a technical issue that can’t be raised to the political and diplomatic level. That is to say, even if this retreat causes a lot of losses to the British expeditionary force and the treaty, it is also a technical negligence and no one is responsible for it.
Moreover, Pershing did this for the benefit of the United States, which is understandable
In addition to the interests of the country, it is also a betrayal. The British Expeditionary Force once betrayed the American Expeditionary Force. At that time, the American Expeditionary Force did not pick up the front, and the yellow and black expeditionary forces suddenly stepped back to the back, exposing the American Expeditionary Force to the German team and putting it into battle. This is the first betrayal.
The British expeditionary force concealed the ability of the Chinese regiment and encouraged the second army to attack the Chinese regiment, which eventually led to the failure of the second army. This was the second betrayal.
The biggest betrayal, however, is that this unit of the Chinese Communist Youth League was entirely caused by the British. They came all the way from China to invite workers to receive paramilitary training from the British. They wore clothes and rifles in their hands, all of which were made in Britain. Such an army can turn enemies into friends by asking the British government to apologize and compensate a little money, but the British government would rather die than do it. This is also a betrayal to be continued.
Chapter 496 Let go
Early the next morning, information from all sides came in, all of which showed that China people were acting according to the plan agreed in advance, but there was no unexpected move. Pershing then reached a series of instructions in succession.
At this time, a train of American guards rushed from the street to stop the car behind, but the car in front didn’t stop until it came to the door of Pershing headquarters.
A British general got out of the car and rushed in. This is Plummer, commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force.
Plummer looked anxious and repeatedly pushed the guards to stop him from breaking into Pershing’s office, but he was no better than him when he saw Pershing haggard.
"General Pershing, is there any military transfer of the American Expeditionary Force?" Plummer said eagerly: "It is reasonable to say that such a large-scale transfer should be coordinated with the headquarters of the agreement * *, but I have not received this notice today. If I hadn’t just arrived here, I wouldn’t have known about it."
"yes! We are retreating! And just want to inform you "Pershing think there is no need to hide him at this time, especially at this time, I’m afraid the news has gone out, but he is curious about how plummer suddenly appeared here.
"What to retreat?" Plummer asked.
Pershing is a little unhappy because the US military is not under the command of the Treaty Command, and even less under the command of Plummer. It is a bit rude for Plummer to ask him directly.
However, Pershing doesn’t care about these. He has been hesitating whether to inform plummer and Fuxi about the withdrawal of American troops before. On the one hand, he is unwilling to give Trouvat to China people. On the other hand, he is worried that if China people don’t get Trouvat, will they still abide by the secret agreement reached between the two sides?
But now plummer automatically find the door to save him from hesitation.
"We, the American Expeditionary Force, will retreat to the south line of Lyon. I’m sorry because I have discussed many times before that you didn’t listen to my suggestion so that we could act alone," Pershing said.
