Chapter 608: High Five for Oath
"You're right! We are all friends, so we should help each other. Don't be too distant. Stilwell, you'll have a few days to take up your new position anyway. Let's get together here in the next few days!"
After hearing Meng Wuan's implication, Powell smiled and smoothed out the situation. As an old friend of many years, he naturally hoped that Stilwell could board Yang Fan's big ship and become a partner who works together.
Meng Wuan continued with a smile: "Yes, everyone has experienced a lot of things this year. We rarely get together from all over the world. We just take this opportunity to have a good exchange. I just don't know if Mr. Stilwell is willing to appreciate this face?"
"Thank you for your sincere intentions, then I'm more respectful than obedient!"
Stilwell nodded happily, and the Shandong Peninsula and his party opened Stilwell's eyes and refreshed their cognition and views.
At this time, Stilwell naturally developed a strong curiosity and wanted to visit the famous Dongxing Trading Group Company with his own eyes!
After a pause, Stilwell continued: "Before leaving Qingdao this time, General Yang asked me to bring back some letters, most of which were written by your relatives, and there were also many letters of condolence."
After saying that, Stilwell picked up the suitcase at his feet and placed it on the coffee table. After opening it, he took out two bulging briefcases.
"That's great, thank you! The war is going to last for three months, and the letter from home is worth ten thousand gold!"
"Yes, yes, we haven't received a letter from our home for a long time!"
"Wow, when I said that, I suddenly felt like I was home!"
Meng Wuan smiled and nodded in thanking him, reached out to take the document bag and handed it over to Shi Weifu and said, "This matter will be left to you. Be sure to send the letter to everyone."
"Okay, please don't worry, the chairman!"
Shi Weifu responded with a smile, looking at the bulging official bag, she felt like a cat was catching it in her heart. She wanted to open it now to see if there were any letters from her home.
Meng Wuan asked with a smile: "I don't know if the chief executive hasn't asked you to bring us a call?"
Stilwell glanced at the people around him and said the truth: "I do have something to tell you, but I don't know whether to tell you alone or in front of everyone."
“…”
Meng Wuan looked at Stilwell in surprise. Seeing that his expression was sincere and he had no intention of joking, he was speechless for a moment.
It was originally just a polite word, because if Yang Fan had something to do, he would send him a telegram directly instead of asking someone to pass on the message, but Meng Wuan did not expect that he actually asked something.
Another thing happened suddenly, and I didn’t know what it was. Meng Wuan didn’t know whether this should be kept secret.
"Chairman, then let's go out and wait first!"
Seeing Meng Wuan pondering silently, Shi Weifu was very tactful and stood up to say goodbye first.
"Yes, yes, let's say goodbye first. Since it is something that the chief executive specifically explains, let the chairman listen alone first!"
Xia Chen, Tong Weiwen and others also stood up and left the scene with great sensibility.
After everyone else left the office, Meng Wuan smiled and said, "Okay, there are no one else now! Stilwell, please tell me if you have something to say!"
Stilwell answered very seriously: "Because General Yang heard me mention the corruption and incompetence of the Chongqing government, and the music and singing every night, especially in the recruitment of strong men, he was extremely dissatisfied.
Let me tell you that the profit dividends to the National Government need to be supervised. You cannot directly give cash as you did before. It is best to purchase weapons and equipment as needed, so as not to fall into the private pockets of some people!”
"So that's the case! I understand, thank you!"
Meng Wuan nodded, basically understanding what Yang Fan meant. This matter not only did not need to be kept confidential, but also spread the matter quietly.
Yang Fan did this simply to seize the moral commanding heights in advance and to tell the National Government and other parties in this way that he has actually been supporting the front battlefield of the National Government, but he will not tolerate the money he spent is embezzled and misappropriated.
If other situations occur in the future, Yang Fan can make further changes and even interrupt the cooperative relationship, which can be regarded as setting up an ambush in advance.
Stilwell said in a deep voice: "I don't know what kind of agreement you have with the National Government, but I'm very responsible and said that General Yang was definitely a wise move to do this. There are not many people in the National Government who are sincerely fighting against Japan from top to bottom.
Especially those senior military and political officials who hold high-ranking officials but have a double heart and only know how to live a life of drunkenness and dream of death all day long are really disappointing.
I really can't understand why there are so many corrupt officials in a government facing a catastrophe. Shouldn't we work hard to govern now and work together?"
As soon as the conversation was opened, Stilwell could not stop at all. He turned on the complaint mode and told the tragic and angry events he saw in detail.
"Thank you for your sincerity, we will all remember it in our hearts!"
Meng Wuan looked at Stilwell with a touching heart. It was not easy for an American to be so anxious about the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japan.
"I am a person with a temper and personality. I like to be straightforward and can't stand those corruption and incompetence, and those unfair things."
Stilwell spread his hands and said, "My friend, I sincerely hope that you China can get rid of difficulties sooner. Those hardworking and kind civilians should not suffer such a serious disaster!"
"Thank you! I believe everything will be fine. Our general manager will lead us from one victory to another. We will definitely be able to recast the world in the future!"
Meng Wuan took a deep breath, but he was shocked when he didn't listen.
From childhood to adulthood, in addition to being born and died many times in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Meng Wuan was in a favorable living environment most of the time. At this time, he felt a great shock when he heard the dark corruption in the war zone and the Kuomintang-controlled area.
It turns out that this is the real era of war, this is the real life of human beings, and this is the real tragic current situation of China!
Stilwell nodded and said, "I hope so too. I hope we will have the opportunity to fight side by side in the future, because I know that the ambitions of the Japanese will not stop there, they will definitely be enemies of the whole world in the future."
"I'm looking forward to that day too!"
"Okay, then I'll make it so happy!"
Meng Wuan smiled and fought with Stilwell for three choruses, and understood each other's heart from each other's eyes, and then both of them burst into laughter.
In the next few days, Meng Wuan specially accompanied Stilwell to wander around his company and was entertaining delicious food and drinks.
