Age of Conquest Reborn

It is undeniable that Tolman throws out a temptation that makes people's hearts beat. As we all know, the number and amount of arms transactions are extremely huge, and the consumption of arms by war will also be staggering. What's more, no

We don’t know when the Pacific War will end, but this astonishing number will be followed by countless zeros.

The loan principal with an astonishingly large base, the interest payment more than double the normal amount, and the credibility of the United States as a country are guaranteed. This is an irresistible temptation. It is similar to the Chinese loan sharking. Taoman believes that Tang Qiuli cannot

Refuse this temptation, unless, unless he is a fool!

However, Taoman was disappointed. Faced with such an attractive condition, Tang Qiuli opposite him did not even raise his eyelids, and there was not a trace of fluctuation in his eyes. It seemed that the words coming from Taoman's mouth,

Almost like air.

Tang Qiuli didn't say anything. Zhang Quan, Tang Qiusheng, Tang Qiuquan, Wang Xu, Zhao Yuhe and others naturally couldn't speak. However, their eyes when looking at Taoman were full of pity, as if they were looking at Taoman.

Just like a primary school student talking about the principles of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in front of a professor, at the meeting that ended yesterday, the so-called favorable conditions offered by Tolman were not accepted.

Tolman was going crazy. The conditions he thought were foolproof, and which were solemnly proposed after some conspiracy by the big guys in the country, actually had no repercussions at all in front of the Chinese.

Is this Chinese deliberately trying to appease his appetite, or is he overwhelmed with joy in the face of this huge impact?

Taulman asked tentatively: "Your Excellency, Vice Chairman, are you satisfied with the conditions provided by our country?"

Tang Qiuli smiled, took a sip of tea, and nodded slightly as if enjoying it. He said in a calm but unquestionable tone: "Very dissatisfied!"

The muscles on Taoman's cheeks twitched unconsciously. At this moment, he almost had the urge to run away. It seems that the many adjectives the British applied to Tang Qiuli are not excessive at all. Sitting in front of him

He is not like the deputy head of state of a country, but more like a vampire! He regards the United States of America as an object that can greedily suck blood.

If the Southwest Pacific, especially Australia and that damn MacArthur, were not crucial to the interests of the United States, I would never have dealt with this annoying and greedy Chinese, let alone look at his disgusting face.

.

However, even if Taoman wanted to strangle Tang Qiuli to death on the spot, he would not do so. An unhappy separation or a breakdown in negotiations are not the ultimate goal of his trip to Singapore. A small amount of tolerance will mess up a big plan.

I still understand.

Tolman took a sip of tea, adjusted himself clearly, and then said: "Your Excellency, Vice Chairman, our U.S. government will always remember your help to the Allies. President Roosevelt of our country specially sent a telegram to tell me and asked me to convey it to you."

The following words will be used in the future war against Japan.

During the process, Vice Chairman Tang fulfilled his responsibilities and obligations. Then, in the post-war power structure of the Republic of China, you will receive strong support from the United States and other allies. We in the United States hope to maintain a relationship with Western countries.

The regime of good relations exists!”

If the former condition of Tolman is huge economic benefits and visible wealth, then the latter condition is a clear political commitment. Of course, there is also a threat. The subtext is that a person who does not listen to the United States

If the government of the Republic of China speaks, the Western powers will spare no effort to strangle it!

For any man who pursues the pinnacle of power, this is a temptation more deadly than money. Controlling the political power of a country and ascending to the throne of the first person in the Republic of China. It is said that Tang Qiuli now has this strength. Even if

Without this strength, with the strong support of the Western powers, it would have been impossible.

This is Taoman's last trump card, and it is also his trump card. He does not think that Tang Qiuli can refuse such a temptation. He will gain both money and power, and his strength will not suffer any loss. The price paid is just according to the

Act on the intentions of the U.S. government and be an obedient person.

Of course, this will bring greater benefits to the United States. If the most powerful warlord of the Republic of China is tied to an American tank, as long as his troops join the Pacific battlefield and participate in the war against Japan, the entire Pacific battlefield will be

The unfavorable situation in the United States will soon be completely changed. Although the Republic of China is poor and weak, it is undeniable that Tang Qiuli's army is still a capable fighter.

The performance of mainland China and Indochina in many wars against Japan has proved this beyond reproach. Therefore, the Americans need Tang Qiuli to throw themselves into their arms. As for loans with high interest rates, it is not a problem at all.

After the war, the huge Chinese market was the best dumping area for American products. The huge trade deficit would make it easy for the United States to repay loans, including interest, and for the United States, it would be a waste of industrial production.

The huge stimulus effect will make the U.S. economy take off rapidly.

After President Roosevelt and his think tanks realized that they would inevitably have to deal with Tang Qiuli and must make use of his strength, they formulated a series of long-term strategic plans for Tang Qiuli. The core point was:

Just tie Tang Qiuli to an American tank!

After listening to Taulman's words, Tang Qiuli's originally calm face changed. There was an incomprehensible sneer at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was still calm and he said: "Special Envoy Taulman, we are talking about business now.

That’s it, don’t have anything to do with politics, I’m not interested!”

After saying that, he stood up slowly and continued: "Two special envoys, I'm very sorry, I have an important meeting, so I won't accompany you!"

Tang Qiuli's sudden move suddenly disrupted Taoman's wishful thinking that he thought would be 100% successful. Tang Qiuli's sudden departure meant that even the previously reached agreement to escort the US military on Luzon Island was

There is also the possibility of death on the way. Such consequences are something Tolman cannot afford. Even the lives of more than 200,000 American and Filipino soldiers on Luzon Island can make President Roosevelt plunge himself into a state of eternal destruction.

abyss!

Therefore, Tang Qiuli must not leave the table. Taoman became anxious and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Vice Chairman, please stay. I am willing to negotiate according to your wishes. Please consider the relationship between the Allies.

As well as the United States’ request for your high hopes, we will continue to discuss!”

Tang Qiuli stopped and said with a smile: "Special Envoy Taoman, let me emphasize again that my relationship with your country and the United Kingdom is only business dealings. As for specific operational issues, we will leave it to our Minister of Logistics Zhang Quan.

General, I will discuss this with you carefully and take my leave!" Then Shi Shi left with a calm demeanor.

As soon as Tang Qiuli left, Tang Qiusheng, Tang Qiuquan, Wang Xu, Zhao Yuhe and other senior officers also left one after another. Only Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, the director of the logistics department, was left, gearing up and looking at the overwhelmed Taoman.

and Sikodias, their eyes were eager to try, as if they were looking at two skinned, shiny, and fat sheep.

After Tang Qiuli left the office, he walked around the office building. Seeing that there was nothing to do, he returned home and enjoyed a delicious meal cooked by Mei Xue herself. Among them, there were actually

He has his favorite meat, which makes his appetite whet his appetite and makes his mouth water uncontrollably.

While Tang Qiuli was at his desk eating heavily, he asked Mei Xue, "Xue, what day is it today? Why do you think of rewarding me?"

Mei Xue sat opposite him, and while she kept picking out good meat bones for him, she said: "Slow down, no one is trying to fight with you, and it's nothing special. I just saw you these past few days, and you've been keeping watch."

In the office, I didn’t eat well or rest well. I wanted to replenish your body. My sister and Xinlan both wrote letters, asking me to take good care of you. If you, the senior master, are not in good health, the two of them can

Spare me!"

As she said that, Mei Xue gave him a coquettish look. Tang Qiuli suddenly stopped talking, patted his forehead with his oil-stained hands, and said, "As soon as you mentioned it, I remembered that in the past few days,

I'm going to the Northeast and will go back to Dingbian on the way. You can go back with me, too. I haven't seen my parents in more than a year. Speaking of which, that little girl Jialin, should she be able to call her daddy?"

Mei Xue angrily pulled his oily hand off his forehead, took out a fragrant handkerchief, wiped the oily stains on it, and said slightly sadly: "You remember that you have a daughter?

He and Jialin were left behind in Dingbian for more than a year. My sister wrote a letter. Although she didn't say anything, she just told me to take good care of you. But I know that my sister is feeling very bitter. She has been married to you for several years, and she is worried about you most.

Got it!"

Mei Xue's rambling words seemed very close yet very far away, but they suddenly dragged Tang Qiuli's thoughts back to his memory.

In that ancient city of Peiping, the cold and charming female lieutenant colonel of the Military Command Bureau whom I met for the first time, decisively attacked and defeated the pro-Japanese forces in North China in one fell swoop. After the director of the Inspection Division was assassinated, the weak woman whose life was hanging by a thread, accompanied him to face the situation.

When he saw Zhang Yang, he single-handedly defeated the director of the Political Training Department of the Xi'an Station of the Military Command Bureau. In the Taihang Mountains, on the battlefield where the Japanese artillery fire was raging, the girl threw herself at him risklessly to shield herself from the shells.

Huangyadong Arsenal, the race against time for rescue, the western suburbs of Nanjing, the ancient town of Moling, the feeling of returning home is even more timid, the lonely and helpless Mei Ting, the battlefield of Pingjin, returning to Dingbian alone, her eyes full of reluctance

Scenes of past events about Shi's wife quickly appeared in Tang Qiuli's mind like a movie. He found that he still clearly remembered every day he spent with Mei Ting.

Every night.

Seeing her husband's eyes blurred and distant, Mei Xue couldn't help but lean on his shoulder and asked softly: "Qiu Li, what did you remember?"
