据Iijima的消息，蒋介石对佐藤说，美国1）不理解立刻消除中共核武力的必要性；2）不理解利用大陆文革乱局的机会反攻大陆的优势；3）低估苏联企图利用中共混乱在中国北部培植亲苏势力的野心；4）看不清只有使越南和中共分裂后才能赢得越南战争的前景。因此，蒋请佐藤游说美国政府改变对华政策。
美国驻台湾大使馆说，蒋介石在当年3月份澳大利亚总理访问台湾时也做出了同样的尝试。美国外交官认为蒋是真心想反攻大陆，不过蒋也意识到在目前局势下几乎不可能反攻成功，所以蒋也对改善台湾的经济、社会面貌投入了更多精力。

TOKYO (PROTECT SOURCE).
2. ACCORDING TO IIJIMA, IN URGING SATO ASSISTANCE IN CHANGING THE
COURSE OF US CHINA POLICY, GIMO COMPLAINED THAT USG DOES N0T UNDERSTAND ASIA,
COUPLING THIS WITH STANDARD THEME THAT CHINA IS HUB OF ASIA'S TROUBLES AND ASIA
OF WORLD'S SPECIFICALLY, GIMO REPORTEDLY SAID USG 1) DOES
NOT APPRECIATE NEED TO ELIMINATE GROWING CHICOM NUCLEAR CAPABILITY NOW; 2) DOES
NOT COMPREHEND ADVANTAGE OF BACKING GRC COUNTERATTACK IN OPTIMUM SITUATION
OFFERED BY CURRENT MAINLAND TURMOIL;3) UNDERSTIMATES DANGER OF SOVIET EXPLOITATION
OF COMMUNIST CHINA'S CHAOS, WHICH IS AIMED AT ESTABLISHING SPHERE OF INFLUENCE
IN AT LEAST NORTH CHINA; AND 4) CANNOT SEE THAT VIETNAM WAR CAN'BE WON ONLY BY
SPLITTING HANOI FROM PEKING, WHICH CAN BE DONE ONLY BY DEMOLISHING LATTER,
SATO WAS NON-COMMITTAI IN HIS RESPONSE TO GIMO'S PRESENTATION, IIJIMA SAID.
(THAT GIMO RAISED COUNTEATTACK WITH SATO IS CONFIRMED BY FCT-9684.)
3. GIMO USED SIMILAR APPROACH TO AUSIRALIAN
PRIME MINISTER HOLT EARLIER THIS YEAR (REF A) AND WITH AMBASSADOR
GOLDBERG DURING LATTER'S VISIT ON MARCH 1. GIMO'S MOTIVES IN URGING JAPAN AND
AUSTRALIA TO PERSUADE US TO ACCEVH GRC VIEWS CONCERNING NECESSITY TO ELIMINATE
CHICOMS PROBABLY ARE MIXED. GIMO'S COMMENTS TO SATO AND
HOLT MAY WELL REPRESENT HIS HEART-FELT VIEWS. HE MAY HAVE WISHED TO
EMPHASIZE TO JAPAN, AUSTRALIA, US, AND OTHER THAT MAINLAND RECOVERY, REMAINS
VITAL POLICY.
4. MOST EVIDENCE AVAILABLE TO EMBASSY INDICATES PRESIDENT CHIANG RECOGNIZES NEAR IMPOSSIBILITY OF GRC MILITARY ACTION AGAINST
MAINLAND IN PRESENT FRAME OF REFERENCE. HE KNOWS US SUPPORT IS ESSENTIAL
TO MAJOR GRC MILITARY MMNE AGAINST MAINLAND, AND WE BELIEVE MH WAS FAIRLY CLEAR
PERCEPTION OF DEPTH OF US. AVERSION T0 BECOMING INVOLVED IN WAR OF
UNFORESEEABLE DIMENSIONS WITH COMMUNIST CHINA AT TIME WHEN WE ARE
BENDING EVERY EFFORT TO CONCLUDE LIMITED WAR IN VIETNAM, WE HAVE OVER
PAST YEAR DETECTED NO SIGNS OF SIGNIFICANT GRC MILITARY BUILDUP FOR ACTION
AGAINST MAINLAND, WHILE WE HAVE SEEN SHIFT AWAY FROM MILITARY COUNTERATTACK EMPHASIS
IN GRC PUBLIC AND PRIVATE TREATMENT OF MAINLAND RECOVERY THEME.
5. DESPITE HIS STRONG STATEMENTS CONCERNING THE MAINLAND TO SATO, PRESIDENT CHIANG APPEARS TO BE DEVOTING MORE ATTENTION TO
TAIWAN'S ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. GIMO'S CONVERSATION WITH DR.
HORNIG (REF B) INDICATED PRESIDENT'S APPARENT INTENTION OF DEVOTING MORE
BUDGATERY FUNDS TO EDUCATION AND SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENT IN TAIWAN.
