Director Chen, it appears

you will kiss and make up with the CPC.

You don't approve?

You don't know the CPC

like we do.

While you were making passes at them,

we fought them head on

in France.

l heard you intend to resign.

Even if you resign,

wait till after the capitulation

ceremony in Nanjing.

You helped defeat the Japanese.

The ceremony needs a

national hero like you.

lf l don't resign,

l'll be blamed for the civil war.

Welcome, Mr. Mao.

Welcome to Chongqing, Mr. Mao.

We've been fighting the enemy

for 8 years.

lt's my job

to fight till the end.

Now that we won,

why

are we stilling fighting?

l will not

fight my own kind.

General Malinovsky has agreed

to hand over the Northeast provinces.

No need to fight anymore?

lf we don't,

will the CPC hand over their turf?

Ladies and gentlemen.

Chairman Chiang and Mr.

Mao propose a toast.

To peace, cheers.

Cheers.

Chairman Chiang.

Hello, Chairman Chiang.

Hello, Mr. Mao.

l'm from the "'Central Daily''.

l notice you're both

wearing Mandarin suit.

On a special day like today,

is there a special meaning for that?

The Mandarin suit

is the official attire for all civil

servants of the Nationalist Government.

As the Chairman

of KMT,

it's my duty

to welcome Mr. Mao to Chongqing.

l'm wearing the Mandarin

suit out of respect.

Mr. Mao, is that your reason too?

The reason is simple.

Chairman Chiang and l are

both Dr. Sun's disciples.

Both the KMT and the

CPC have inherited

Dr. Sun's revolutionary legacy.

We share the same roots.

lt is only natural that

Dr. Sun's disciples should

wear the Mandarin suits.

Mr. Mao. Excuse me.

Pardon me, Mr. Mao.

To see you standing next to each other,

l can't help but feel excited.

l have another question for Mr. Mao.

ln the upcoming negotiation

ith regards to the issue of democracy,

will the Parties find common ground

or reach any consensus?

Definitely, if you look hard enough.

This reporter already noticed

we had something in common.

The North China division of the CPC

and the Shandong division

are infiltrating the Northeast.

Chen Yi's New Fourth Army

is active around

Shanghai and Hangzhou,

making it difficult for the Nationalist

Government to move the capital back to Nanjing.

Our troops are too far

away from these regions.

The Americans have landed in Qingdao.

They promised to send

planes and warships

to get our troops to the

Northeast, North China,

East China and south of Yangtze River.

General Du, l'm counting

on you in the Northeast.

Master Zhang, please give

us your honest opinion.

The CPC

likes to keep things in the open.

We never hide our views

and respect those of our friends

and the China Democratic League.

Sir?

Thank you.

l'll be honest with you, as a friend.

To form a democratic

coalition government,

peace and unity are the

only ways forward.

lf Mr. Chiang and Mr. Mao

can sit down and talk,

it would be wonderful.

A negotiation requires

concessions and compromises

in order to bring about peace.

Chairman Mao came to Chongqing.

That alone proves our sincerity.

The turf and army are minor details.

Rather than haggle over them,

why not unify all the parties?

At this moment,

the Nationalist Army is busy

in regions where we

have set up our regime

with strategic blockades

or explorative attacks.

The Eighth Route Army

and New Fourth Army

are thorns in Mr. Chiang's flesh.

Pardon me for saying this.

lf we didn't have a few

hundred thousand used guns,

Mr. Chiang would never

sit down and talk to us.

Ze.

lf neither Party let go,

the war will go on.

You can forget about peace.

lf neither Party gives in,

negotiation will break down.

l appreciate

your mediation.

Very well.

For the sake of peace and democracy,

we'll make the first concession.

Among the 1 00 divisions of

the national defense army,

our request for 48 divisions

has been cut back to 20 divisions.

We're willing to give

up 8 liberated regions

in south of Yangtze River.

l hope that our concession

will set the consultative

meeting in motion

and help set up a coalition government.

l'm here on behalf of President Truman

and the United States government

to issue the following statement.

We have no intention to support

a "'Cream of Wheat'' Marxist

to take over China.

The present Nationalist Government

of China and Mr. Chiang Kai-shek

are faithful friends of the United States.

Our only concern is

whether the Yalta Conference and

the Sino-Russian

Friendship Alliance Treaty

will be honored and implemented

by the Chongqing government.

The United States is cognizant that

the Nationalist government of

China is a one-party government

and believes that peace, unity

and democratic reform in China

can be furthered if the

basis of this government

is broadened to include

other political elements in the country.

On behalf of the CPC, l wish to

issue the following statement.

We welcome President Truman's China

policy as per the declaration on the 1 5th

with regards to the cease fire

between the KMT, CPC

and other political parties

and to call upon a multi-party meeting

to implement reforms

to end the KMT's one-party dictatorship

and to ensure fair and

effective representation of all parties

to facilitate the democratic

unification of China.

President Truman's special envoy,

Marshall, is arriving soon

to mediate in the civil war.
