    Before arriving, Meyer had carefully studied the situation in China with the United States. According to his opinion, China has undergone earth-shaking changes. It will be very bad to look at China's problems from the old perspective.

    Because China¡¯s current military strength, especially on land, has definitely surpassed Japan.  According to what the American military attache in China saw personally: the configuration of the five armies in the garrison military region far exceeded the best configuration of the direct warlords he was familiar with before; especially the elite 27th Army, its firepower configuration is the strongest in Asia.  Comparing Japan, the most powerful country in Asia.

    And it is said that there are 5 such armies!

    ??The Chinese people have united together, even if it is the union of Britain and Japan.  You can beat her, but you can't break her.  Blockade, cannibalization, and attacks at various points can cause China to suffer heavy economic losses, but they will not be fatal.  Because China does not dominate foreign trade to begin with, and the small-scale peasant economy still accounts for the vast majority.

    As long as there are people there, she has a vast hinterland for detours, and currently lacks deep strike means, the Chinese army can receive supplies at any time.

    "According to China's layout, without more than a million troops and without a continuous war of three to five years, it is impossible to defeat her!

    But the war will bring disaster to the great powers: Gone are the days when Britain still wants to bring China to its knees with a few gunboats like during the Opium War. Didn¡¯t we see the artillery battle on the Huangpu River a few days ago?  A war thousands of miles away will definitely wear down Britain!

    Japan can¡¯t afford it either.  And being cunning by nature, they must be planning to take advantage of the Sino-British war to bring down the British maritime power in Asia and then take over.  The Japanese are not that stupid, now is not the time for them to fight.

    The United States will be the loser.  Its interests in China and many years of operations will be completely lost in this big battle.  Because if there is a war, the Chinese will definitely beat the concession to pieces first, turning the United States' "open door" into a "war at the door."  Then the Anglo-Japanese Alliance and Japan took the opportunity to expand their maritime power due to the war, threatening the United States' position in the Asia-Pacific, and the "Washington Treaty" was easily broken.

    So we must quell this commotion no matter what, and we must put the young commander in place first no matter what.  Through private heart-to-heart talks, he grasped the young commander's bottom line and finally negotiated a good ending.  In a relaxed environment, maybe the young Chinese leaders can be less aggressive?

    Meyer said eloquently that he wanted to clean up the young marshal who was tired of his career, and said: we will not discuss official matters, only personal relationships.

    This face needs to be given, and Zhang Hanqing also wants to use him to calm down the incident as soon as possible.  Just now, I was just showing off, putting on some airs, and adding some dignity to future negotiations.

    In the evening, there was a heavy rain on the Huangpu River, washing away the blood and violence of the previous few days.  At the cocktail party held at the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai, it was a dazzling scene.  It seems that in the American world, no matter what happens outside, as long as their own interests are not involved, they will always have a calm attitude.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.

    It was night, and the three-story building of the U.S. Consulate was crowded with distinguished guests, including women and their families. The heavy rain outside did not dilute the joyful atmosphere in the hall.  In the midst of the feasting and feasting, Zhang Hanqing suddenly noticed a beautiful young woman wearing a tight-fitting pink cheongsam, flashing past among the Chinese and foreign VIPs, and she seemed familiar.

    Although most of the women who came to the meeting were beautiful, what made Zhang Hanqing's eyes shine was the elegant woman.

    "The cheongsam is really a great invention.  As a nation on horseback, women cut a slit in their straight skirts to easily separate their legs in order to facilitate riding. This is similar to the British cavalry who created tuxedos in the early 18th century.  It moves and swings, and the woman's graceful figure is looming, which is extremely impactful.

    Shanghai girls are always the pioneers, and their attempts have made such fashionable things popular this year.  Four years later, the government of the Republic of China prescribed it as a formal dress.  Under the flickering lights, her fair thighs were exposed from time to time. If Zhang Hanqing hadn't been warning him about what he was doing, he would have been unable to help but show off.

    Unexpectedly, the handsome girl who had appeared at the gathering of people from all walks of life during the day would actually come to the banquet hall of the heavily guarded U.S. Consulate.  Zhang Hanqing knew that tonight's cocktail party was very different from the daytime gathering. The female guests who could come here to attend the cocktail party were either the family members of Shanghai's celebrities and dignitaries, or the wives or ladies of foreign envoys. And who was that elegant girl?  also?

    "Young Marshal, do you really not know Miss Song?" Zhang Hanqing's eyes had quietly moved towards the lady who had turned to the side seat in the shadow of the glass of wine.??The woman's back.  Although his movements are small and cautious, passionate and reserved, he is like a beautiful woman wearing sunglasses admiring the corners of her eyes.  All this was still clearly seen by Hu Hanmin, who was sitting next to him.

    Hu Hanmin once served as Foreign Minister in the Guangzhou National Government and is currently the Vice Governor of Shanghai.  As the leader of the right wing of the Kuomintang, he is an important united front target of the People's Party.  Now, the leftist Liao Zhongkai presides over the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, and Hu Hanmin occupies Shanghai, an important economic source of the Kuomintang. It is a policy imposed by Zhang Hanqing to jointly attack another giant Wang Jingwei.

    Hu Hanmin also needs to rely on the power of the People's Party to develop himself, so he cannot help but silently follow the footsteps of the People's Party in some matters.  This May 30th tragedy, various decisions of the central government, especially the young marshal's personal visit to Shanghai, he was determined to take the lead.

    He noticed that Zhang Hanqing was looking at the woman sitting next to him with an "inquiring" look, so he understood and took the initiative to introduce: "She is the third lady of the Song family who is well-known in Shanghai! Not only is she beautiful, she also studied in the United States with a bachelor's degree in literature. She speaks English well."  Quite fluent!¡±

    "The third young lady of the Song family?" Zhang Hanqing woke up from a dream and seemed to be frightened.  Hey, the future Mrs. Chiang Kai-shek, the "Song" of the four great families of Chiang Kai-shek, Song Dynasty, Kong and Chen in the Republic of China!  Who doesn¡¯t know!  He blurted out: "Oh, it's Mrs. Chiang!"

    Hu Hanmin thought that he had just arrived in Shanghai and really didn't know Soong Meiling, so he said with a smile: "No one's wife, Miss Soong Meiling is still in the boudoir! By the way, I forgot, you must know her."  Her sister, right?"

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Fortunately, he has encountered similar preconception mistakes many times, and his response is still very fast.  Zhang Hanqing immediately pretended to be confused and shook his head: "Who is her sister and how do I know her?"

    "Her sister is Mrs. Sun, Ms. Soong Ching Ling!" Hu Hanmin discovered that Zhang Hanqing "knew nothing" about Soong Meiling, and quickly said: "This is Mr. Zhongshan's wife and sister, Han Qing, you are blind to Mount Tai!"  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
