...stubble-haired T. V. (Tse-vungj) Soong, left war-torn China last April to see what the world thought of China v. Japan. While he was talking in clipped Harvard English in the Foreign Offices of the U.

To General Chen, who was about to buy the three war boats anyway, Chiang telegraphed "orders to incorporate them temporarily into the Southwest Navy" at Canton...
...through a network of new barbed wire and trenches, to the Japanese garrison's barracks. Inside he saluted Japanese Major-General Neiji Okamura whom he outranked, signed the curt truce agreement. Then General Hsiung and colleagues returned to Tientsin, prepared to hand their resignations to Nationalist Dictator Chiang Kaishek...
