I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 570

"However, your only request is..." Jiang Weiguo said calmly, "After we get your money, machinery and equipment, and weapons and equipment, we will immediately go to war with the Japanese!"

"Of course!" Weizman shrugged. "The funds and properties of the US government come from the blood and sweat of American taxpayers. How can they be used for squandering and wasting without gain? Japan is a powerful enemy. You help us solve Japan. We will give you all the benefits you deserve!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo with a meaningful look, "Little General Jiang, just as you said to President Roosevelt, this is a fair and reasonable transaction.

deal, right? ’ He said the word ‘deal’ emphatically.

Jiang Weiguo felt a little cold in his heart. He had to admit that Roosevelt had pinched his weakness, or in other words, he had pinched the weakness of Chiang Kai-shek and the top Chinese officials. Roosevelt played this card neatly. Why?Because he is rich, and the U.S. government is very rich. This is strength.

Jiang Weiguo couldn't help but think of the miracle of the Han River in South Korea and the Vietnam War in later generations.

People in later generations know that North Korea is poor and South Korea is rich, but South Korea was not richer than North Korea from the very beginning. Before the 80s, North Korea was actually richer than South Korea (mainly because North Korea is located between China and the Soviet Union, relying on the fact that the two great powers have both sides. Therefore, it received a lot of assistance from the two major countries in order to win it over), the South Korean economy took off from the "Miracle of the Han River". At that time, the South Korean President was Park Chung-hee. However, development and construction require money. Where does South Korea's start-up capital come from?Coincidentally, the United States was fighting the Vietnam War at that time, and the U.S. government suffered heavy casualties. The U.S. government could no longer support it. Therefore, the South Korean government proposed itself to the U.S. government and proposed a deal. South Korea sent troops to serve as mercenaries for the U.S. military on the Vietnam battlefield, but the U.S. government To provide huge loans to South Korea.

For this transaction, the U.S. government, which has plenty of money but is most afraid of the dead, naturally wanted it. Therefore, more than 3000 Korean troops went to Vietnam to participate in the war, killing more than 5000 people and injuring more than 1 people. In exchange for a large amount of funds from the U.S. government to South Korea , and then used by the South Korean government to launch the "Miracle on the Han River", which was later called "GDP bought with the blood of soldiers".

Right now, Roosevelt's strategy is almost exactly the same. The United States wants to defeat Japan, but on the one hand, it is more troublesome to go to war against Germany and Japan at the same time. On the other hand, defeating Japan is destined to cause many deaths in the United States. The U.S. government hopes that the Chinese military will act as the U.S. mercenary army to destroy Japan. The Chinese military will kill people and shed blood, and the U.S. will provide China with huge sums of money, a large number of industrial machines, and arms and weapons to kill the Japanese.

For this transaction, Chiang Kai-shek was obviously very excited. In fact, although he also took a fancy to those dollar bills, American machines, and American weapons, what he valued more was: through this transaction, China and the United States will no longer be enemies. Or if it is neither an enemy nor a friend, but a solid ally, China can truly become the winner of this world war.

"It's great to have money!" Jiang Weiguo was full of emotion, and he smiled wryly in his heart, "I racked my brains to come up with a series of schemes and tricks, and as a result, Roosevelt threw a stack of banknotes and threw them on my face!"

Chapter 658 Truce Period (5)

As we all know, the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang government have always been full of factions, spending a lot of energy in internal strife. In terms of foreign policy alone, they are divided into three major factions: the pro-German faction, the pro-Japanese faction, and the pro-American faction ( pro-American).

Before the Sino-Japanese War, the three factions did not give in to each other. However, after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the pro-Japanese faction was naturally hit hard by the confrontation between the two countries. It is basically only one step away from the "traitors" that everyone shouts and beats, so not many people dare to continue to kiss Japan, and are willing to kiss Japan. The ferocious faces of the Japanese have also broken many people's "beautiful illusions" about Japan. Correspondingly, the pro-German faction has risen rapidly and its power has rapidly expanded. There is no need to say much about the reasons. As for the pro-American faction, it has been unpopular and unfriendly because the United States adopted a strategy of watching China from the other side or even taking advantage of it during the Sino-Japanese War. Not popular; however, the times are constantly developing and changing. After China and Japan negotiated a truce and turned enemies into friends, the pro-Japanese faction within the Kuomintang and the Nationalist Government immediately revived and became active again. Of course, the pro-German faction still occupies a dominant position , As for the pro-American faction, after Germany, China and Japan jointly attacked the United States, they were once again squeezed out to a certain extent, and their influence further declined.

Right now, from top to bottom in Chinese society, in terms of foreign policy, the largest faction is the pro-German faction. Jiang Weiguo is the head of the pro-German faction. More than half of the high-level people belong to the pro-German faction. Most people also "like the Germans" and think that "the Germans and us Chinese are true friends who see the truth in adversity" and "the Japanese invaded us, and the Americans would not save us, only the Germans helped us", at this time the most people in China The majority of foreigners are Jews, followed by Germans. Millions of Germans have been in China for a long time. Some are military personnel, military scientific research personnel, and technical personnel from various industries sent by the German government to aid China. Some are German students studying in China. , some are German businessmen who come to China to do business, and some are German workers hired by the Chinese government and other German civilians with special skills. German has surpassed English and Japanese to become the most popular language in Chinese universities. In Germany, The popularity of Chinese has also ranked first among many foreign languages, and the relationship between China and Germany is no less close than the relationship between the United States and Britain; the second largest faction is the pro-Japanese faction. Only some high-level people belong to the pro-Japanese faction. Among the grassroots people in the society, the pro-Japanese faction is very small. Chinese businessmen who do business with the Japanese, and some civilians living in coastal port cities have a good impression of the Japanese because the Japanese are "credible and polite"; the third largest faction is the pro-American faction, but the pro-American faction is very small However, the pro-American faction has always existed, because Jiang Weiguo's old man and Jiang Weiguo's stepmother are both pro-American factions.

The existence of the pro-German faction is inevitable, and the existence of the pro-Japanese faction is not surprising. The logic of the pro-Japanese faction is logical: First, Japan has indeed hurt China before, but the Japanese have now basically owed the Chinese. It’s all returned, and it’s irrational to entangle the previous hatred; secondly, China and Japan have a long history of culture and are separated geographically. It is definitely better for the two countries to be friends than to be enemies. The Japanese have expressed their willingness to be friends with the Chinese. , How can the Chinese keep it out?Right now, China and Japan are cooperating closely. Whether it is military, political, or economical, the two countries have gained a lot. First, the two armies fought side by side, opening up a vast territory for both countries. Second, since the two countries resumed trade, Japan has continuously purchased Chinese commodities, natural resources, important materials, and industrial raw materials, and China has earned huge profits from this. It can be seen that China and Japan being friends is a great thing of mutual benefit and win-win, which is beneficial to both Japan and Japan China, China's development cannot be separated from Japan, and vice versa; finally, and most importantly, China and Japan could not be friends before because China was weak and Japan was strong, and Japan has always coveted China's territory and resources, but now , this problem no longer exists. Japan is now very strong, and China is also very strong. Japan dare not covet China anymore. At the same time, Japan itself has obtained a vast new territory in the war, so naturally there is no reason to attack China. According to reliable sources, the Japanese government is planning to move the mainland of Japan there after taking over the Australian mainland, and move the vast majority of the Japanese population there. Japan will carry out a "national relocation", and the Australian mainland will become the "new Japan" in the future. Canberra It will also be the "New Tokyo" in the future. 7000 million Japanese will replace 700 million Australians as the new masters of Australia. Australians will either be killed by the Japanese or become a minority in "New Japan". Then, after the war Japan is a country in the southern hemisphere, China is still a country in the northern hemisphere, Japan belongs to Oceania, China belongs to Asia, and there is Southeast Asia as a buffer zone between the two countries, so Japan will no longer threaten China. Be friends", in that case, why not kiss Japan?

Undoubtedly, the pro-Japanese reasons of the pro-Japanese faction are sufficient, and the pro-Japanese logic is solid.

Compared with the powerful and widespread pro-German faction and the increasingly active pro-Japanese faction, the pro-American faction is relatively low-key, but this faction should not be underestimated, because Chiang Kai-shek himself and the Song family represented by Soong Meiling and Soong Ziwen also Many powerful families, such as the Kong family who are closely related to the Song family, belong to the pro-American faction.

Song Meiling and others are pro-American, mainly because they have a large amount of property in the United States, and they have too many intertwined interests with many high-level, important officials, and chaebols in the United States. The closer the better, Chiang Kai-shek is different from Song Meiling and others. Chiang Kai-shek is more pro-American because he "fears the United States in his heart". He knows that the United States is too powerful, even if China has the support of Germany and Italy and Japan. China is still not an opponent of the United States. Since it must not be an enemy of the United States, it must do everything possible to be a friend of the United States.

The pro-German faction has always sneered at the pro-Japanese faction who jumped up and down and shouted "China-Japan goodwill", and bestowed the nickname "Farmer Gang". In the story of "The Farmer and the Snake".

"Those farmers are making trouble again" is a common phrase used by the pro-German faction after they learn what activities the pro-Japanese faction is holding.

In fact, the more important reason why the pro-Japanese faction is active and not suppressed is that "China will eventually settle accounts with Japan after the fall." This plan only exists in the hearts of very few high-level leaders such as Jiang Weiguo, and it is not China's strategy. As a national policy, China still needs to use Japan. Of course, it cannot openly or semi-publicly declare that "after defeating the British, we will fight Japan." The second son’s strategy is to drive the Japanese to the southern hemisphere.” Therefore, although Jiang Weiguo was angry with the pro-Japanese remarks made by the pro-Japanese faction, he could not suppress them, and even expressed his acquiescence, because he wanted to act for the Japanese.

If Jiang Weiguo publicly scolded the pro-Japanese faction, wouldn't he tell the Japanese that "Jiang Weiguo actually intends to deal with you in the future"?

Although Jiang Weiguo was angry with the pro-Japanese faction, he was more worried about the pro-American faction, that is, his old man.

After sending away Wei Demei and other US secret envoys with a noncommittal attitude, Jiang Weiguo hurriedly followed Chiang Kai-shek into the study. Chiang Kai-shek also knew that Jiang Weiguo had something to say to him.

"Father, may I ask you a few questions first?" Jiang Weiguo took the lead.

Chiang Kai-shek smiled helplessly: "You ask!"

"Which country has implemented the "Chinese Exclusion Act" to exclude, suppress, and persecute the Chinese and overseas Chinese in the country in the form of laws?"

"It's America!" Chiang Kai-shek smiled wryly again.

"Which country prides itself on the supremacy of human rights and talks about human rights all day long, but during the most critical period when our country was invaded by Japan, it not only refused to save our country, but sold arms and strategic materials wantonly. , industrial raw materials to Japan so as to make war fortune?" (During World War II, the United States gave China a total of about 16.2 billion U.S. dollars in aid, accounting for about 4% of its total foreign aid; The total amount is about 312.67%. The United States’ aid to the Soviet Union totaled about 65 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for about 112.6% of its total foreign aid. The U.S. aid to France and Free France totaled about 23 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for about 32.07% of its total foreign aid.

The above data tell the Chinese that the United States, an ally, is not generous. The aid given to China is only a fraction of what Britain gave to the Soviet Union, and even half of what was given to France, which surrendered just one and a half months after the start of the war.

Some people may say that although the United States has given little aid to China, it is better than not giving any money at all.

But the crux of the problem is that China and the United States were allies at that time, allies who signed a joint combat treaty, and China's attack on Japan was also beneficial to the United States. China did not take money from the United States for nothing.

It's like a rich man and a poor man. The rich man gives the poor five dollars, ten dollars or nothing. The rich man's behavior should not be blamed. , The two parties also signed a labor contract, but the rich pay the poor for work every day, five yuan or ten yuan, is this justified?This is the "neither generous nor selfless assistance" that the United States provided to China after its alliance with China. Then, from the summer of 1937 to the winter of 1941, after the Sino-Japanese war and before the U.S.-Japanese war, in four and a half years, China The Japanese have already been beaten to death, and the United States has not participated in the war. How much has the United States aided China?It provided assistance six times successively, with a total of about 1.7 million U.S. dollars, and more than half of it was given in 1941 when the relationship between the United States and Japan began to deteriorate. The first time the United States assisted China was in March 1940, when China and Japan had been at war for nearly three years. In the past three years, the United States has been on the sidelines to China, and the first aid is only 3 million U.S. dollars; while it is on the sidelines to China, the United States and Japan have good relations and busy trade during the Sino-Japanese War. In the past year and a half, it has sold arms, strategic materials, and industrial raw materials with a total value of more than 2000 million U.S. dollars to Japan.

Does China really owe the United States? )

"It's still the United States!" Chiang Kai-shek nodded, and at the same time sighed softly, "Wei'er, I know what you want to express. In fact, I don't have a good impression of the United States. The direct and indirect harm they caused to our country greatly outweighed their help to our country. If the Japanese are real villains, then the Americans are hypocrites.

However, this hypocrite is extremely powerful!Wei'er, isn't your thinking the same as the concept of survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest?Yes, there is no justice and fairness in this world. As Bismarck famously said, truth and justice are only within the range of cannons.

The exchanges between countries rely only on strength.

The United States is indeed not our friend, but it is powerful. In order to protect ourselves, even if we hate it, we must be friends with it! "

Jiang Weiguo continued to ask solemnly: "So, which country did its best to help us when our country was in the most dangerous and difficult time?"

An unnatural expression flashed across Chiang Kai-shek's face: "It's Germany!"

Jiang Weiguo's eyes sparkled: "Father, Germany and the United States have declared war on each other. The two countries are enemy countries. We betrayed the Japanese. The Germans don't care. But we turn to the Americans. What will the Germans think? Father, please imagine this prospect. When we took advantage of the Americans and went to war with the Japanese, the Americans would naturally be able to free up their hands on the battlefield against Japan, saving a lot of military power, and who would they use against them? Germany, of course.

Therefore, we partnered with the Americans to fight the Japanese, which seemed to have nothing to do with the Germans, but actually seriously damaged the interests of the Germans.

This world war would turn out to be: we would fight the Japanese one on one in the East, and the Americans would team up with the British to fight the Germans two on one in the West, and at the same time, we would no longer be friends with the Germans.

Father, you also said that the United States is extremely powerful, can Germany withstand the joint attack of the United States and Britain?If we can't bear it, in the end, Germany will fail, what about us?Even if we defeat the Japanese, we will definitely be seriously injured. Isn't it the Americans who will have the last laugh in this world war?If the Americans wanted to settle accounts against us at that time, what should we do?Will anyone help us any more?We will be alone at that time, and facing the revenge of the Americans alone, won't we end up shooting ourselves in the foot? "

Chiang Kai-shek's expression began to become complicated.

Jiang Weiguo said while the iron was hot: "Father, we must never betray the Germans. From the perspective of national interests, we have already integrated our interests with Germany at this time. We will be prosperous and both will be prosperous. Germany cannot do without our country, and our country cannot do without it." Not open to Germany; moreover, from a moral and fiduciary point of view, our country can have today's situation because the Germans gave us timely help when we were at our lowest point, and because the Germans fought side by side with us, we can Only by defeating the Japanese can we expand our borders, and if we betray the Germans, wouldn’t our country’s national reputation be ruined all of a sudden?”

Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a while, showing a faint look of being persuaded by Jiang Weiguo. He thought for a while and said, "Wei'er, didn't you always plan to settle accounts with the Japanese in the future? But you objected to us joining forces with the Americans to fight the Japanese. Isn't that contradictory? What do you think?"

Jiang Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief, he said with a smile: "Father, I am not contradicting myself, of course we have to betray the Japanese, but the time has not yet come.

The premise for us to betray the Japanese is not to harm the interests of the Germans, so when is the best time for us to do it?The best time is when the Germans win a decisive victory in Europe, and the Americans are beaten by the Japanese in the Pacific battlefield with heavy casualties and sufferings. At that time, we can do it.

Father, the Germans are our true friends. Although the Americans are rich and powerful, they are also wooing us, but the Americans only use us as tools. What about betraying friends by partners with bad intentions? "

Chiang Kai-shek smiled: "Wei'er, are you up for sale?"

Jiang Weiguo said with a smile: "You can put it this way! Americans must hate and fear the Japanese now. There is more hate and less fear, because the Americans have not yet tasted the Japanese war. Like mad dogs and desperadoes! We will unite with the Americans at this time. The Americans will definitely not value us and don’t give us more benefits. Let’s just wait until the US military is slaughtered by the Japanese on the Pacific battlefield. When there are 10 to 20 people, if we unite with the Americans, the Americans will definitely regard us as a savior, and we will naturally be able to offer a higher price.

Since it would be more in our interest to wait, why not? "

Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "It is true, it is true!"

Jiang Weiguo said again: "Father, we can't belittle ourselves too much, the United States is indeed extremely powerful, but when we add Germany together, I believe that the United States is also guilty.

Roosevelt's wooing us now actually exposed his lack of confidence.

If Roosevelt thought that the United States could deal with Japan while fighting Germany, and did not need our help, then he would not send anyone to find us, at least not for a long time, but he will send someone to find us now We are here, what do you mean?It shows that the top American leaders headed by Roosevelt still feel more or less guilty.

Father, we really want to get closer to the United States, not to be an enemy of the United States. It is best to become an ally of the United States. This is for self-protection. At the same time, we must also ensure that Germany will not be defeated by the United States. This is also for self-protection. As long as Germany supports live, we have a powerful friend, and the United States will have nothing to do with us!"

"Well said! Well said!" Chiang Kai-shek showed a look of enlightenment and cleared the clouds. Jiang Weiguo's simple analysis made him feel enlightened because of his fear of the United States.

After a pause, Chiang Kai-shek asked: "Wei'er, according to your analysis, we are not yet able to conduct open and comprehensive cooperation with the United States, but can we now assist the United States to complete the plan proposed by Wedemeyer? So as to Roosevelt Express our attitude and let him know that although we don't want to cooperate with the United States at the moment, we are willing to cooperate with the United States in the future, so as to keep Sino-US relations from being too closed, and let the high-level Americans have hope and goodwill towards us. Think of us as a target to fight for, not as an enemy like Japan that needs to be fought to the finish!"

"Of course no problem!" Jiang Weiguo agreed very much, "As long as the US government gives us [-] million US dollars, we will assist the United States to complete their 'air strike Tokyo' plan!"

During the talks with Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Wei-guo, Wedemeyer put forward a "preliminary Sino-US cooperation plan", that is, the US military's "air strike on Tokyo".

After the war between Japan and the United States, because the U.S. military suffered repeated defeats, the morale of the U.S. military was a little low, and the hearts of the people in the U.S. were also a little sluggish. Therefore, at the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the U.S. Army, Roosevelt clearly asked the U.S. military to "organize and implement a retaliatory strike against Japan as soon as possible." ", so as to boost morale and inspire people's hearts.

In this regard, some officers in the U.S. military put forward the idea of ​​"moving the army bombers to the aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier will be driven near the Japanese mainland, and the bombers will take off to bomb the Japanese mainland".

The idea is very bold and novel, but there are many difficulties. The biggest difficulty is that after the bombers take off, in order to protect the aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier must immediately turn around and retreat. Then, wouldn’t the crews on these bombers never return and die?If the pilot makes an emergency landing and parachute in Japan, and falls into the hands of the Japanese army, it goes without saying what will happen. If the plane flies over the Japanese mainland and continues westward, it will make an emergency landing and parachute in China, and the pilot will fall into the hands of the Chinese army. The Chinese army has always treated the captured U.S. troops kindly, but China and Japan are allies, and the U.S. bombing of the Japanese mainland is a shocking event. The Japanese army must ask the Chinese army for U.S. pilots and then kill them to vent their hatred.

Therefore, this operation of the U.S. military must be "secretly assisted" by the Chinese army. Wedemeyer was ordered by Roosevelt to secretly come to China to see Chiang Kai-shek and Jiang Weiguo, mainly to discuss cooperation in "Sino-U.S. joint attack on Japan", and this incident was incidental.

The Americans told Chiang Kai-shek about this, and Jiang Weiguo was not worried that China would tip off the Japanese to prepare the Japanese. There are two reasons. One is that Roosevelt judged that the Sino-Japanese alliance has its own ghosts. The Chinese must be happy to see the Japanese. Embarrassed and embarrassing, even if they know it, they will pretend not to know it. The second is that the batch of US bombers are already on their way to Japan.

It was May 1942, 5. When Wedemeyer held talks with Chiang Kai-shek and Jiang Weiguo, the U.S. Eighth Fleet had already detoured to the North Pacific Ocean, and quietly touched about 5 kilometers northeast of the Japanese mainland. 8 B-1000 bombers took off from the USS London, USS Saratoga, USS Yorktown, and USS Hornet.

After the fleet was dispatched, the aircraft carrier fleet immediately turned around and returned.

These b-25s entered the air of the Japanese mainland in the northeast of Honshu Island, Japan, flew directly over Tokyo, and dropped more than 100 tons of bombs into the urban area of ​​Tokyo.

Immediately, the whole city of Tokyo shook. Lightning, thunder, and fireworks shot up in many places in the city. The citizens panicked and the garrison was dumbfounded.

This is the second air raid on Japanese mainland ever (the first was the "paper bombing" by the Chinese Air Force during the Sino-Japanese War).

After the 38 B-25s bombed Tokyo, they flew west immediately, across the Japanese mainland, and then crossed the Korean Strait to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas in eastern China.

The crew had been instructed in advance: after the bombing of Japan, they should fly to China, make an emergency landing or parachute in China, do not resist, and directly surrender to the Chinese soldiers and civilians, because it is better to fall into the hands of the Chinese than to fall into the hands of the Japanese. Before you are handed over to the Japanese by the Chinese, Washington will secretly contact Wuhan and rescue you by means of hostage exchange (the US government has millions of overseas Chinese in the United States) or huge sums of money (the US government has plenty of money) U.S.

Not only that, these American pilots have repeatedly learned a sentence of spoken Chinese before carrying out their missions: don't hurt me, I surrender.

In addition, each of these U.S. military pilots was issued two pieces of white cloth, one was to be held in their hands as a white flag at that time, and the other was filled with thick and black Chinese characters, which read, "I am an American. China is at war, please don't hurt me, I am willing to surrender, please hand me over to your government or army".

"Your planes are bombing Tokyo?" Sure enough, after hearing the news, Jiang Weiguo did not show the slightest sadness or indignation (nor was he shocked, he knew that this was the famous "Doolittle Air Raid" in history), on the contrary, His face was full of gloating expression as if he saw his enemy fall into a cesspit, "And will fly to China after the bombing?"

"Yes!" Wedemeyer said earnestly, "We don't want those pilots to fall into the hands of the Japanese, so they will fly to China after bombing Japan. Please rest assured that they will never go to Chinese territory." Throw a bomb!"

"Although China and the United States are not enemy countries, is your aircraft violating our airspace nakedly?"

"Little Jiang, please don't say such things on purpose.

Our request is, first, your planes and anti-aircraft guns do not intercept and attack our planes, and second, those pilots will surrender to you directly after landing, please don't hand them over to the Japanese!"

"Oh, how long before they enter our airspace?"

"According to the time calculation, there are still three hours!"

"Where are they going to make an emergency landing?"

"Southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang!"

"Okay, I will immediately contact General Zhou Zhirou, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, and ask him to order the air force in southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang to prepare for the reception. No fighter jets will be launched to intercept them, and anti-aircraft guns will not fire. They will also dispatch planes to guide your bombers. Navigate and guide them to land safely on our military airport. As for your pilots, we must restrict their freedom, but we will feed them with good food and drink.

However, the Japanese must be furious and even furious at your bombing of their "Imperial Holy Land". , I can't justify it! "Jiang Weiguo looked embarrassed.

"Okay, General Jiang, President Roosevelt has already told me what kind of person you are. Tell me, what conditions do you want?"

"Then let's get 25 million dollars! By the way, those b-[-]s that landed in our country will also belong to us!"

Wei Demei nodded, and did not counter-offer, because he knew that there was no way to bargain with Jiang Weiguo: "Okay!"

Afterwards, the Japanese military did aggressively talk to the Chinese military. Although the U.S. air strike did not cause much damage to Japan, it was no less than a loud slap in the face of the invincible Japanese military at this time. The slap in the face made the Japanese military who had previously boasted that "the empire is infallible" deeply disgraced, and was personally reprimanded by Hirohito, which made him disgraced and embarrassed. The confidence of the Japanese people in winning the war was greatly shaken. The Army gritted its teeth, and the Japanese Navy was distraught, convinced that "the U.S. Pacific Fleet still possesses great offensive power and threat" and that "the empire will not have peace if the threat is not eliminated." Before that, the Japanese army wanted to kill the American pilots.

In this regard, Jiang Weiguo’s explanation is: some of the U.S. bombers that attacked the Japanese mainland crashed into the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, some were shot down by Chinese Air Force planes or destroyed by anti-aircraft artillery, and some were crashed and killed during the forced landing, so there were not many U.S. troops. The pilots were captured by the Chinese army. Even if there were some prisoners, they would be exchanged with the US government for overseas Chinese in the United States, so they could not be handed over to Japan.

After receiving this reply from Jiang Weiguo, the Japanese had no choice but to give up.

After resolving this matter and finally persuading Chiang Kai-shek, Jiang Weiguo carefully drafted relevant countermeasures:

First, on the basis of existing victories and various achievements, digesting the dividends of war, enriching national strength, enhancing China's own strength, and realizing industrialization are China's top priorities;

Second, formulate the next war plan in the order of "protecting Germany, consuming the United States, and destroying Japan", fully support Germany and Japan in materially fighting against the United States and Britain, and at the same time use the war between Germany, Japan, the United States and Britain to make war fortunes and accumulate wealth;

Third, use the opportunity of the restoration of the Jewish people to promote the gradual withdrawal of Jewish capital from the United States and then transfer to China, weakening the economic strength of the United States and improving China's economic level at the same time;

Fourth, completely wipe out the remnants of the Soviet Union and eliminate China's worries.
