Chapter 869: Merchant King Chief of Staff
Guan Gu Shenqi returned to the headquarters building and found Kazutaka Chiji happily.
"Senior, I have an idea for a risky move. Is it appropriate?"
He Ying Zhier was almost bald these days, and he couldn't think of a plan to mobilize the Allied Fleet. When he heard that there was a way, he quickly threw down his pen.
"Say it!"
"I want to take advantage of the conflict between Country M and Country E. Simply put, since Country M is eyeing Germany's interests, let it have the illusion that Germany will surrender to Country E.
In order to ensure its rights and interests in Europe, Country M must not allow Country E to dominate alone, so it is reasonable to send the Seventh Fleet there.
The most important thing is that the Imperial Navy has almost lost everything! There is no threat to them, so they can leave without worry."
As soon as He Yingzhier heard it, he knew that there was something to be done about this matter, but how to make the M army believe that Germany would surrender to E country was a problem.
"Then how can we make the M army believe it?"
"I think we can use the non-aggression treaty we signed with Country E as an excuse to play a mediating role. After all, we haven't had any direct conflict with Country E since the Battle of Nomonhan.
Moreover, in a sense, we all have a common enemy, Country M, and even Country China."
In the game between major powers, interests always come first.
So, I think it’s very interesting to do this with Tomoji Takashi.
"I will report to General Okamura Neiji immediately. You should refine the plan immediately and submit it to me within a week!"
"Hayi!"
While Guan Gu Shenqi was busy, Wang Meng in Pingshun was also not idle.
A large amount of news that "Japan and Germany will surrender to Germany" was spread in Mobei and Northeast China, and hundreds of overseas Chinese were intentionally released to run into the territory of Country E.
The Central Army's intelligence system was not a stand-alone operation. Soon all the information was gathered in Chang Guangzhou's hands and then reported to Stilwell.
The Ministry of Defense of Country M is in chaos. Although Germany is losing ground, it does not seem to be at the point of surrender. Besides, aren’t the Japanese maintaining an offensive posture in Southeast Asia?
Could this be the work of Country E? In a sense, have the three countries reached an agreement?
Although even Truman found this idea ridiculous, the world is never short of surprises and miracles.
Therefore, the Ministry of Defense of Country M began to study how to respond if Germany and Japan completely turned to Country E.
It is obvious that the only solution is to tie China to the same carriage, share the pressure in Asia, and then withdraw to Europe.
Stilwell sent a telegram to Li Yunlong, requesting a meeting in Kunming a week later.
"Lao Li, they have invited you, so why don't you give them some face?"
"No, I can't understand the chirping language these American guys are talking about. What's the point of going? They must be plotting something. I'm too upright to do this. You go. This job is perfect for you!"
Wang Meng was completely speechless. Could it be that he, Wang Meng, was a sinister and cunning person?
"Old Li, are you cursing?"
Li Yunlong then realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly apologized to Wang Meng with a grin. In the end, he bribed Wang Meng with a reward of a roasted whole lamb.
During this week, Li Yiming's intelligence system went crazy, spreading the ambiguous "facts" about Germany, Country E, and Japan everywhere.
Stilwell was like an ant on the hot pot. He could no longer hold on and repeatedly requested to start the talks two days in advance.
As soon as Stilwell landed, he refused to meet with Long Yun, director of the Yunnan Headquarters, and went directly to the Guandu Mountain Base, quietly waiting for Wang Meng's arrival.
Around noon, Wang Meng's plane landed at Kunming Wujiaba Airport and headed straight for Guandu Mountain Base as soon as it landed.
"Chief of Staff Wang, we finally got you here!"
"Oh, sorry, sorry, it's really a long journey. By the way, have you eaten? Director Mao, two servings of rice noodles!"
Of course Wang Meng sat in the host's seat and looked at Stilwell.
"Commander Stilwell, is there any reason why you want me to come here so urgently?"
"Chief of Staff Wang, the situation is urgent, so I won't waste words. According to the intelligence we have received, Germany and Japan are very likely to surrender to Country E. As for what their next move will be after the surrender, we have no way of knowing. For the sake of world peace, I ask you and your team to send out elite troops to put pressure on Germany and Japan!"
Wang Meng once again demonstrated his excellent acting talent, laughing wildly and shaking his head.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The little mustache destroyed Stalingrad and killed tens of millions of E countrymen. How could they accept the little mustache's surrender?"
Seeing that Wang Meng didn't believe it, Stilwell stood up excitedly, which scared Wang Meng.
"Chief of Staff Wang, we didn't believe it at first, but a group of unidentified Japanese have sneaked into Country E and seem to be conducting secret negotiations.
Furthermore, according to our radio station detection, the telecommunications exchanges between Japan, Germany, and Country E are unusually frequent. Although we have not cracked all of their telegrams, thousands of telegrams all have one key word: negotiation!"
Wang Meng's expression became "solemn", and he looked at Stilwell with three parts suspicion and seven parts trust.
"If Japan surrenders to Country E, I will never agree! Country E is tearing up the Yalta Agreement. I have long seen that Country E is dissatisfied with the Yalta Agreement, but I didn't expect it to be so blatant!"
"Chief of Staff Wang, please be fully prepared and be ready to deal with this incident at any time!"
"Okay, our two countries are the most solid allies. Please tell us if there is anything you need us to do!"
Seeing that Wang Meng agreed, Stilwell let go of his pretentiousness and stated all his demands.
“First, the independent column’s aircraft carrier fleet will go out with the Allies to Europe for deterrence.
Second, the independent column should clear out the enemy in the territory as soon as possible and send troops to Southeast Asia. "
"What? Our fleet is leaving China? I can't accept that! We are not like your country M, which is so big and powerful, with many aircraft carrier fleets. China only has this one fleet!"
"Don't worry, the Japanese navy has been basically wiped out and can no longer cause any trouble. Moreover, all our Allied fleets will leave Southeast Asia and we will advance and retreat together!"
Wang Meng pretended to think for a moment. After all, he was prepared for such a result and was looking forward to it.
"Okay, but the Allies will be responsible for the supply, including ammunition, fuel, food, drink, and toilet. Oh, and an additional $10 million in labor fees?"
Stilwell opened his mouth wide. He didn't expect that the chief of staff of an independent column would bargain like a businessman.
"Ten million dollars? That's too much!"
"Commander Stilwell, once our fleet leaves, the southeastern coast will be exposed to the Japanese warships and artillery fire. Isn't this risk and cost worth 10 million US dollars?"
"Okay, I'll report to the Ministry of Defense!"
