A senior defense official in the United States said that he was actually a China cow "worthy of five divisions".

When Qian Xuesen was preparing to return to China from the United States, US Deputy Secretary of Defense Jin Beier told the Ministry of Justice: "Never let Qian Xuesen go, no matter where he is, he is worth five divisions."

After Qian Xuesen returned to China, Mao Zedong held his hand tightly and said, "I heard that Americans regard you as the fifth division." I see, you are better than the fifth division! "

Qian Xuesen191/Kloc-0 was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province,/Kloc-0 joined the China * * * Production Party in August, 959, 1934 graduated from Jiaotong University, and 1934 studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and California Institute of Technology. 65438-0935 went to the United States to study aviation/engineering and aerodynamics. From 65438 to 0938, he received his Ph.D. from California Institute of Technology, and then went to study in the United States. He successively served as a lecturer, associate professor, professor, director of supersonic laboratory and director of Guggenheim Jet Propulsion Research Center, engaged in rocket research.

1950, when Qian Xuesen was preparing to return home from the United States, US Deputy Secretary of Defense Jin Beier informed the Ministry of Justice: "Never let Qian Xuesen go." He knows too much. I would rather shoot this guy than let him leave America, because no matter where he is, he is worth five divisions. "

In the United States, Qian Xuesen is the right-hand man of Von Carmen, the world aerospace authority, and one of the four members of the American rocket leading group. He has mastered important information about military equipment and rocket technology. Of course, his return to China was strongly opposed by the American government, but his patriotic enthusiasm made Qian Xuesen determined to return to China.

1950 On August 29th, Qian Xuesen bought a ticket to go home, but on August 30th, people got the news that Qian Xuesen was detained by the FBI. Los Angeles Customs held a press conference, saying that nearly 800 kilograms of sketches, notes and photos were found in Qian Xuesen's checked baggage, all of which were technical materials. This means that Qian Xuesen is a red spy who is about to smuggle secrets to China, so he is held in the prison of the FBI.

Later, through the efforts of California Institute of Technology, Qian Xuesen was released on bail at $65,438+05,000 yuan. However, his life in the United States began to be restricted in many ways and was repeatedly questioned by relevant departments. When asked which government he was loyal to, Qian Xuesen replied sternly: "I come from China, and of course I am loyal to the people of China." I am loyal to the government that is beneficial to the people of China, and I am hostile to any government that is harmful to the people of China. "

On August 1955, during the fifth Sino-US ambassadorial talks held in Geneva, China and the United States finally reached an agreement on the return of civilians from the two countries. The next day, the Immigration Bureau informed Qian Xuesen that the control order against him had been revoked and he was free to leave the country.

After Qian Xuesen returned to China, the party and state leaders attached great importance to this. Leading Zhou Enlai Qian Xuesen into Juxiang Bookstore, he smiled and said, "Chairman, I want to invite the distinguished guest you have been waiting for!"

"ah! Comrade Qian Xuesen. " Mao Zedong stepped forward to hold Qian Xuesen's hand. "I have been looking forward to you for a long time! I heard that Americans regard you as the fifth division! " Mao Zedong held out five fingers. "I see, for us, you are stronger than the fifth division! Now I am studying your's engineering cybernetics to guide China's economic construction! "

Qian Xuesen, a world-famous rocket expert, is very concerned about his return. His return made the leaders of New China put the missile development plan on the agenda. Thanks to Qian Xuesen's efforts, Dongfeng -2 missile was successfully launched on June 29th. This is the first medium and short-range missile designed and developed by China completely relying on its own strength and technology. Three months later, China successfully tested the first atomic bomb.

1966101October 27th, China's two-bomb test was a complete success, which means that China has real nuclear weapons. Foreign forces have commented that the loud noise of Lop Nur shook the whole world, and China's lightning-fast progress is as incredible as a myth.

1970, the first artificial earth satellite "Dongfanghong-1" made in China flew to Kongtai.

1999165438+1On October 20th, the Shenzhou-1 spacecraft was successfully launched.

Qian Xuesen has made indelible contributions to China's missile and rocket undertakings, and is known as "the father of Chinese missiles". 199 1 year, Qian Xuesen was awarded the honorary title of National Outstanding Contribution Scientist. He is the only scientist in China who has won this title so far.

Song Meiling's one-night stand with 30 American divisions? Song Meiling has both the classical temperament of China and the elegance of the West, but at the same time he has a sharp and shrewd style that westerners love and hate. Roosevelt, wilkie, Stilwell, Chennault, Wedemayer, Marshall, MacArthur, Ruth, Hopkins, Redford and other American military and political dignitaries and media tycoons around World War II all had complex and unspeakable feelings for Mrs. Jiang. Chiang Kai-shek's anti-Japanese, "suppression of * * *" and protection of Taiwan need the help of the United States everywhere, and Song Meiling is the biggest capital for him to obtain material assistance and moral support from the United States.

Song Meiling knocked down the Americans.

Americans never appreciated Chiang Kai-shek. During World War II, Americans always suspected that he would have an affair with Japan, and also questioned that he did not try his best to resist Japan in order to maintain his strength in the confrontation. During the civil war, Americans were dissatisfied with the corruption and incompetence of the Kuomintang government. In the conversations between Roosevelt and Dr. Xuan Tong and Truman, and between Marshall and Acheson, they all despised the attitudes of Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang.

Nevertheless, Song Meiling abandoned the Americans to support Kuomintang China, and military and economic assistance followed. It was not until Chiang Kai-shek was defeated in 1949 that American aid was temporarily suspended. However,1In June 1950, when the Korean War broke out, the situation in East Asia was critical, and the United States resumed its assistance to Chiang Kai-shek's regime. The United States began to "defend Taiwan Province Province" and the Seventh Fleet patrolled the Taiwan Province Strait, thus changing the fate of Taiwan Province Province.

Song Meiling's greatest performance in the diplomatic arena was his visit to "conquer" the United States in 1943 and the Cairo Conference between China, the United States and Britain held in the same year165438+1October. But in terms of influence and influence, his trip to the United States far exceeded his trip to Egypt.

A "perfect ambassador" [S2/]

In the American general election of 1940, wilkie, who ran for president on behalf of * * * and the party, won more than 22 million votes, but only lost to Roosevelt by more than 5 million. Roosevelt, who was elected president for the third time, was a generous man. Knowing that wilkie was brilliant, had an international vision and hated colonialism, he was invited to visit Britain, the Middle East, the Soviet Union and China as the special envoy of the President to carry out wartime diplomacy. From the end of September 1942 to the middle of October, wilkie's trip to China brought excitement and encouragement to Chongqing, the capital of Chongqing. "Friends come from afar." Chiang Kai-shek and his wife warmly received the warm and talkative American presidential envoy.

During the dinner, wilkie suggested that Mrs. Jiang visit the United States to publicize China's military and civilian determination to resist the Japanese war. He said: it is very important for the American people to understand Asian issues and the views of Asian people. The future peace of the world depends on whether the post-war East problem can be solved fairly. Born in Indiana University Law School, wilkie is known as "the barefoot fairy on Wall Street". She told Ms. Jiang that with her talent, wisdom, persuasion and charm, the American people would know more about China. He said that only Song Meiling could finish the task. She will be a "perfect ambassador" and the American people "just need such visitors."

A period of time after disappearing

In his unpublished memoir Looking Back at Mike, Mike Cowles, the reporter of Dimoyne Chronicle who accompanied wilkie to visit China at that time, revealed that at the grand reception hosted by Chiang Kai-shek for them, wilkie sneaked away and Song Meiling went to the penthouse of Chongqing Central Maternal and Child Health Hospital for a tryst. After wilkie and Mrs. Chiang Kai-shek disappeared from the reception, Chiang Kai-shek angrily searched everywhere for wilkie. Wilkie returned to the cabin in the middle of the night and told Cowles that he would fly back to the United States with Mrs. Jiang. Cowles urged. The next morning, Cowles was instructed by wilkie to tell Ms. Jiang that wilkie could not take her to the United States. I was so angry that Mrs. Jiang grabbed Cowles's cheek with her long nails and left paw prints on his face for a week. More than four months later, Mrs. Jiang took the opportunity of going to the United States to invite Cowles to dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in new york. During the meeting, Jiang suggested that Cowles give up journalism, fully assist wilkie to participate in the 1944 presidential election, and be willing to bear all the election expenses of Cowles. Mrs Jiang said to Cowles, "Mike, you know that if Wendell is elected, he and I will rule the whole world. I rule the east and Wendell rules the west. " Wilkie dropped out of the race after losing the Wisconsin primary. Roosevelt secretly invited him to join the Democratic Party and promised to nominate him as the vice presidential candidate. Cowles urged wilkie not to expect anything. 1944165438+1October, Will died of a heart attack at the age of 52.

In fact, the first person to expose Mrs. Jiang's extramarital affair with wilkie was the famous Minnan columnist Pearson. 1June, 957 The love story recorded in Jiang Wei's diary is slightly different from that described by Cowles. Pearson said that Chiang Kai-shek sent 60 gendarmes to search for Madame Chiang and wilkie; On the day wilkie left Chongqing, she met Ms. Jiang 1 hour for 20 minutes and kissed her at the airport.

Lu Yizheng, then director of the new york office of Horizon News Bureau, said that Ms. Jiang was very angry when she learned that Pearson Diary disclosed her one-night stand with wilkie and was going to publish a rebuttal statement in major American newspapers. Persuaded by Lu, she sued the publishing company in new york court. After years of litigation, the two sides reached an out-of-court agreement. But Lu Yizheng recalled that he and Cowles, who accompanied wilkie to China, had checked whether Jiang Wei was having an affair. Cowles said: "This is impossible, absolutely impossible!" At the request of Lu, Cowles dictated a letter, and Lu took it away as litigation evidence. It is puzzling that in the memoir published in 1985, Cowles talked about the love affair between Mrs. Jiang and wilkie, saying that "nothing happened".

The real inside story of Chiang Kai-shek's gun rape

1985, Gardner milk Cowles, an American, published a memoir called "Review of milk", which recorded that when Song Meiling visited Chongqing in 1942+00, it happened with Wendell wilkie, the special envoy of American President Roosevelt. After Chiang Kai-shek found out,

As Cowles is an entourage of wilkie during his visit to China, the above plot is easy to win people's trust. 1986 the memories of Mr. and Mrs. Kaul were translated into the "1990s" issue of Hong Kong magazine 10. 1995, Li Ao and others quoted it in the book Comment on Chiang Kai-shek, and made a detailed demonstration and analysis. Later, Li Ao signed his name, wrote articles such as Song Meiling Stealing Foreign Materials and Raising Foreign Materials, Chiang Kai-shek Caught Rape, and Who Committed Adultery in Song Meiling, which were published in Long Live Review Series, Truth Series, Crow Review, Li Ao Electronic News and The Complete Works of Li Ao, No.0755. In recent years, some books, periodicals and websites published in the mainland are also willing to spread this statement and compete for publicity. A famous screenwriter even wrote in a TV series.

If it is between Ryan's children, it is not worth paying attention to. However, it happened between three important historical figures in China and the United States. After being rendered by the above publications, it has to be seriously investigated.

Cowles's meticulous and vivid memory.

In order to facilitate the investigation and readers' thinking and judgment, the author must first quote Cowles's relevant memories. Wrote:

The next stop on our journey is China. Song Ziwen, the modern luxury mansion of Mrs. Chiang Kai-shek's younger brother, is our six-day headquarters in Chongqing.

During the six-day activities, wilkie had several long talks with Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the National Government. Telephone activities of government officials; And the banquet held by the chairman and his wife every night. Among them, my wife's behavior made Wendell and I feel uneasy.

One night in Chongqing, the chairman held a grand reception for us. After some welcoming remarks, the chairman, his wife and wilkie formed a reception group. About an hour later, when I was hanging out with the guests, an adjutant from China told me that Wendell wanted to see me.

I found wilkie, and he whispered to me that he and his wife would disappear in a few minutes. I will take his place and try my best to report them. Of course, ten minutes later, they left.

I nailed it to the chairman like a sentry. Whenever I feel that he is distracted, I immediately ask a series of questions about China in a panic. After an hour, he suddenly clapped his hands and told his deputy to leave. Then I was sent back to Song's home by my deputy.

I don't know where Wendell and his wife have gone, and I'm beginning to worry. Shortly after dinner, there was a loud noise in the atrium, and the chairman rushed in angrily. Accompanied by his three bodyguards, everyone brought an automatic rifle. The chairman suppressed his anger, and the dog slowly bowed to me, and I responded.

"Where is wilkie?" After the ceremony, he asked.

"I don't know. He is not at home. "

"Where is wilkie?" He asked again.

"I assure you, Chairman. He's not here. I don't know where he might be. "

The guard followed me and the chairman wore the whole house. He checked every room, looked under the bed and opened the cupboard. Finally, he made sure that the two men were not in the room and left without leaving a farewell message.

I'm really scared. I saw Wendell standing in front of a row of gunmen. I can't sleep. I got up to drink alone and prepared for the worst. At four o'clock in the morning, a happy wilkie appeared, as proud as a college student who had just spent the night with his girlfriend. After describing what happened between him and his wife, he said happily that he had invited his wife to go back to Washington with him. I said angrily, "Wendell, you are such a fool."

I listed all the reasons against his crazy idea. I totally agree that Ms. Jiang is one of the most beautiful, intelligent and sexy women we have ever seen. I also know that they are attracted to each other, but there are enough rumors about them in Chongqing newspaper circles. I said, "You represent the President of the United States here; You also want to run for the next president. " I also said that his wife and son might meet him at the airport at that time, and his wife's appearance would cause quite embarrassing scenes. Wilkie stomped away angrily. I was tired and fell asleep.

When I woke up at eight o'clock, wilkie was already having breakfast. We have our own food and don't say a word. He has a speech at nine o'clock. Just as he was leaving, he turned to me and said, "Michael, I want you to meet my wife and tell her that she can't come back to Washington with us."

Where can I find her? I asked. He said shyly, "She has an apartment on the top floor of the urban women and children's hospital. This is a charity she is proud of. "

About eleven o'clock. I went to the hospital and asked to see my wife. When I was introduced to her living room, I foolishly told her that she couldn't go back to Washington with Miss wilkie.

"Who said no?" She asked.

"It's me," I said. "I told Wendell not to go with you, because politically speaking, it is very unwise."

Before I knew what had happened, her long nails grabbed my cheek. She worked so hard and left a scar on my face for a whole week.

Cowles was a registered reporter for the Minneapolis Tribune in Minnesota and Des Moines in Iowa, and later founded the Michael Review. It should be said that his story is very detailed and vivid, but it is indeed a story full of defects and absurdity.

Wilkie's trip to Chongqing fully proved the fallacy of Cowles's "memory".

Will arrived in Chongqing from Chengdu on 10/0/2, and left Chongqing on the afternoon of 10/0/7, and flew to Xi, during which his journey was full of stains. In order to expose the absurdity of Cowles's "rumor" with conclusive evidence, the author combed the activities of wilkie and Cowles in Chongqing according to the report of Chongqing Outlook Weekly and the relevant files at that time:

65438+1At 3: 46 pm on October 2, wilkie and his party arrived in Chongqing from Chengdu. Drive into the city to visit immediately. At six o'clock, I will rest in the brigade.

65438+1At 9: 00 am on October 3, Bannas and Bao Pei, accompanied by American Ambassadors Gauss and wilkie and their entourage Cowles, successively called on Fu Bingchang, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of China, Vice President of the Executive Yuan and Minister of the General Staff of the Central Military Commission.

10: 40 visited Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling, then the chairman of the Central Military Commission, and talked about 1 1: 00 15.

1 1: 03, wilkie, Cowles, Berners and Bao Pei went to the National Government to call on Lin Sen, Chairman of the National Government. 12, Lin Sen gave a banquet for wilkie. Present at the meeting were Ju Zheng, Yu Youren and Kong Xiangxi, American ambassadors Gauss, Cowles, Baines, Major Mei Sen and Major Pierre.

At 3: 30 in the afternoon, wilkie visited the Central Training Group and gave a speech for more than an hour.

From 5: 00 to 6: 00, American Ambassador Gauss held a tea party for wilkie in Chongqing Jialing Hotel. More than 300 Chinese and foreign guests, including Sun Ke and Yu Youren, attended the meeting. The meeting adjourned at 6 o'clock.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling hosted a banquet in the auditorium of the Military Commission to welcome wilkie. Participants included wilkie and his entourage, Cowles Berners, Major Mei Sen, Major Pierre, American Ambassador Gauss, General Stilwell, Commander Chennault, Soviet Ambassador Pan Xinyou, British Ambassador Mu Xue, and diplomatic envoys and wives of Australia, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. Participants in China included Soong Ching Ling and his wife, Ju Zheng, Yu Youren, Feng Yuxiang and He.

On the morning of October 4th, 65438/KLOC-0, accompanied by Weng, wilkie visited the factory in Chongqing. At noon, Weng hosted a banquet in the Central Paper Mill. In the afternoon, wilkie returned to the city.

At 4pm, Song Meiling hosted a tea party in the name of the honorary chairman of USAID under the guise of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to welcome wilkie, the representative of the US President and honorary chairman of USAID, to visit China. The entourage of Soong Ching Ling, Kong Xiangxi, Sun Ke, Stilwell and wilkie, Cowles, Bainas, Major Pyle, Major Mei Sen Army and more than 65,438+000 Chinese and foreign journalists attended the reception. First, wilkie visited the exhibitions of children's kindergartens and anti-ownership factories, and Song Meiling explained them one by one. After the visit, the tea party began, and the children in the children's kindergarten performed songs, dances and chorus. After tea, Song Meiling delivered a welcome speech, and wilkie answered. The meeting ended at six o'clock.

Later, Chiang Kai-shek and wilkie had a long talk for three and a half hours, with Song Meiling as the translator.

Wilkie visited Central University, Chongqing University, Central University of Science and Technology and Nankai Middle School at 9: 00 on October 5th, 65438. At 2 o'clock, he returned to the city to attend a banquet hosted by Chen Lifu, Minister of Education. From afternoon to evening, Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling continued their talks with wilkie. On the same day, wilkie also met with Stilwell, Lin Hu, Zhang Boling, Zhou Enlai and others.

65438+1At 9 o'clock on October 6th, accompanied by David, wilkie visited Arsenal.

At noon, the CMC held a banquet for wilkie. At 4 pm, China, Britain, China-Soviet Union, Sino-French Cultural Association and other 18 groups held a joint tea party in Jialing Hotel to welcome wilkie and his party. More than 300 people, including American Ambassador Gauss, Soviet Ambassador Pan, Wang Shijie and Feng Yuxiang, attended, and Wu Tiecheng gave a welcome speech.

At 5: 50, Wang Chonghui, Secretary General of the Supreme National Defense Council, visited wilkie.

At 7 o'clock in the afternoon, Kong Xiangxi held a banquet in the former residence of Fan Zhuang, Chongqing, as the vice president of the Executive Yuan and the president of the China-US Cultural Association. Soong Ching Ling, Deng, Feng Yuxiang, American ambassadors to China Gauss, Stilwell and Chennault, and wilkie's entourage Berners and Pierre. More than 65,438+000 people attended the banquet. They all put up lawns on mats, which is called "Freshmen Buffet".

On the morning of October 7th, 65438/KLOC-0, Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling met with wilkie and had breakfast together.

At 9 o'clock, wilkie held a press conference, spoke to the media and answered questions.

10, accompanied by Dong Xianguang, wilkie visited the Women's Steering Committee, and Song Meiling came forward to entertain and guide the work of the office. It ends at eleven o'clock.

At 4:30 pm, I flew from Chongqing to Xi.

As can be seen from the above schedule, during wilkie's visit to Chongqing, the welcome banquet hosted by Chiang Kai-shek and attended by Song Meiling was held only once on the evening of June 3rd. 10. This time, both wilkie and Cowles participated. However, it is worth noting that this is a banquet, not a "reception". Cowles recalled that he had to go back to the Song family to make up the meeting after "dinner". After the meeting, things were not as good as Cowles said. The guests dispersed their conversation so that wilkie could take the opportunity to meet Song Meiling and then sneak out to cheat. Regarding the situation after the banquet, Ta Kung Pao reported that after the banquet, china national radio played national music. "Music programs, Wechs will listen carefully, pay great attention to. After each program, WeChat asked Mrs. Jiang for a long time, and Mrs. Jiang explained in detail, "After all the music programs, wexler went on stage to visit the musical instruments. The ambassadors followed closely. Wexler studied every musical instrument carefully, and Mrs. Jiang was happy to explain them one by one. Mrs. Jiang also kissed Guqin to show her surname, which surprised Wei greatly. "10: 30, there will be an evening celebration. Meanwhile, do wilkie and Song Meiling have a chance to flirt, satisfy and slip away?

It is important that wilkie had never seen Song Meiling before coming to China. After arriving in Chongqing, he only had a 35-minute conversation with the Jiang couple at noon on the 3rd. At the dinner party, how did the relationship between wilkie and Song Meiling quickly heat up, reaching the height of tacit understanding and deception?

People's memories are often inaccurate. What happened on other days? Is part of Cowles's memory wrong? Not exactly.

The fourth one. On this day, Song Meiling held a welcome tea party for wilkie, and Cowles was one of the participants. Will it happen tonight? However, according to the records, Chiang Kai-shek held talks with wilkie that night, and Song Meiling acted as an interpreter. The two sides talked for three and a half hours. Wilkie can't escape by hiding in Cowles and Song Meiling.

The fifth one. According to the records, the conversation between Chiang Kai-shek, Song Meiling and wilkie started at five o'clock in the afternoon and ended at eight o'clock in the evening at Chiang Kai-shek's official residence in Jiulongpo, Chongqing. After the conversation, I went to Zeng's house for dinner and continued the conversation after dinner. Song Meiling always exists, and it is impossible to escape from wilkie.

Number six. Kong Xiangxi hosted a banquet on the lawn of wilkie's private residence to welcome him. The banquet took the form of "buffet", a bit like the "reception" mentioned in Cowles's memory. However, Chiang Kai-shek did not attend the banquet, and neither did Cowles. Naturally, it is impossible to create a plot in which wilkie asked Cowles to cover up the facts and pester Chiang Kai-shek to divert attention. According to Chongqing Ta Kung Pao, what happened that day was: Kong Xiangxi gave a welcome speech. At 8: 00 (15), wilkie will reply, and then give a speech to all China in Fanzhuang. Keep eating anyway. After dinner, a film will be shown. At eight o'clock, the party was over. According to wilkie's account, after dinner, he entered the room together at the invitation of Song Meiling, and talked with Song Ailing around 1 1 in the afternoon. At this moment, Kong Xiangxi came in and joined the "Dragon Gate Array". This is the last night that wilkie and others spent in Chongqing. The next afternoon, wilkie left.

Therefore, during wilkie's six days in Chungking, the plot described in Cowles's memory was impossible.

In addition, the existing Chiang Kai-shek and wilkie's conversation record show that their relationship has been very harmonious. According to Chiang Kai-shek's own statistics, he talked with wilkie for more than ten hours. Prior to this, Jiang kindly told wilkie that Lushun and Dalian could be used by China and the United States in the future. This situation also shows that there is no gap between them.

Other obvious defects in Cowles's memory.

Cowles's memory has many other obvious defects.

First, Chiang Kai-shek held a "grand reception" with many guests. There are many distinguished guests, and Chiang Kai-shek wants to meet them one by one. Just like Cowles and wilkie's attache, how can you pester Chiang Kai-shek for "one hour" with "a series of questions about China"?

Second, Chiang Kai-shek just disappeared from wilkie and Song Meiling at the "reception". Why did he rashly conclude that they cheated each other, so he "left angrily" and led armed guards to rush into wilkie's residence and search it himself? Chiang Kai-shek has many spies. Want to know where Wei and Song are, why do you have to work hard by yourself? The more secret such a thing is, the better. Chiang Kai-shek took the guards and searched in front of Cowles. Once it happened, he was caught red-handed. One is Roosevelt's envoy, and the other is his wife. Why did Chiang Kai-shek let it go?

Thirdly, Chiang Kai-shek, as the highest military commander in chairman of the Central Military Commission and China, was very angry. How can he bow to Cowles first?

Fourth, wilkie is the leader of the Chinese Communist Party and the special envoy of Roosevelt. How could Cowles insult him: "You are a damn fool"?

Fifth, as Mrs. Chiang Kai-shek, Song Meiling's visit to the United States is a great event. Both China and the United States need to make a lot of preparations, and visas also take time. Wilkie is scheduled to leave China on October 9th, 65438/KLOC-0. How to invite Song Meiling to "return to Washington"? As the wife of Chiang Kai-shek, Song Meiling naturally understood that her visit was no small matter. It is impossible to start work in a hurry in a few days. After hearing that she can't walk with wilkie, how can she scratch Cowles's cheek with her long nails?

Sixth, Cowles said to wilkie, "There are enough rumors about them in the newspaper circle in Chongqing." Wilkie only stayed in Chongqing for six days. Even if Wei and Song had a "love affair", how could the newspaper industry know? How did it spread so fast? So "enough"?

The above six rules are enough to prove that Cowles's memory is fictitious and extremely inferior.

Song Meiling's trip to the United States was not because of wilkie.

Will returned to the United States on June1942+1October 14. In the same year,165438+1October 26th, Song Meiling came to the United States one by one and began his seven-month trip to the United States. Is it because of wilkie? The answer is no.

According to records, President Roosevelt and his wife invited Song Meiling to visit the United States. 1On August 22nd, 942, Roosevelt called Chiang Kai-shek and said that he and his wife were very much looking forward to "Mrs. Chiang's coming to China immediately". /kloc-In September of 0/6, the Roosevelt couple called Chiang Kai-shek again to reiterate this invitation. Both invitations were issued before wilkie visited China. It can be seen that Song Meiling's visit to the United States is neither because of wilkie nor because of wilkie's strength.

Wilkie did actively promote Song Meiling's visit to the United States. According to wilkie's "One World" and other materials, on 10/0.5, wilkie suggested that Song Meiling pay a friendly visit to the United States. On the evening of October 6th, 65438/KLOC-0, wilkie explained his reasons: Americans need to know more about Asia and China, and China people with brains and moral strength should help educate Americans. Ms. Jiang will be a perfect ambassador. She is very capable and will have a very effective influence in America. He said that Mrs. Jiang was "witty, magical, generous, considerate, elegant, beautiful and enthusiastic. She is just the guest we need. " After wilkie returned to the United States, he also conveyed to Roosevelt the news that Song Meiling hoped to visit the United States. However, what wilkie did was to carry out the policies and instructions of President Roosevelt. For a long time, the United States has adopted an isolationist policy, ignoring China's arduous War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Wilkie opposed Japan's invasion of China, was friendly to China, and actively advocated assisting China to resist Japan. 1940, when he was running for the presidency of the United States, he advocated "giving China economic assistance". 1942 made many speeches, accusing Japan of "barbaric aggression and incompetence", insisting that "Japan is our enemy" and "China is our friend". He spoke highly of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China, saying: "In the past five years, the American people rarely knew the significance of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China to all our civilizations." In these respects, he and Roosevelt are in complete agreement.

As for Song Meiling's visit to the United States, one is to promote War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China to the Americans and seek American assistance, and the other is to treat diseases.

After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Song Meiling took an active part in foreign propaganda, especially for the United States. She actively used newspapers, magazines, radio and interviews with foreign journalists to promote War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China. Her propaganda was highly valued and praised by American public opinion. 1in the autumn of 942, China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression were still in a difficult period, so it was natural to win further support from the United States.

At the same time, during this period, the deterioration of Song Meiling's health forced her to make up her mind to go to the United States for treatment. In the early days of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Song Meiling went to the front line of Songhu and was suddenly attacked by a Japanese plane.
