The Independence Army's attack on Singapore had been going on for three days, and the Japanese convoy had been being harassed by the speedboat force for three days, and although the self-made speedboats piloted by the servant soldiers had suffered heavy losses, they had succeeded in depriving the convoy of all power. "Starve them to death, die of thirst, in short, to trap them here alive." With the cooperation of the aircraft, the speedboat troops, like locusts, did not relax in the slightest to harass and attack these Japanese ships.

There were still big guys like cruisers in the Japanese escort fleet, but unfortunately after losing all the anti-aircraft firepower, the fighters flying in the sky could sink them to the bottom of the sea at any time, and the machine guns that strafed back and forth from the belly made no Japanese sailors visible on the decks of these ships, which gave the speedboat troops even more opportunities to attack them. "What to do? Will you surrender and stay alive or sink yourself to the bottom of the sea to be loyal to the empire and the emperor? Such a difficult question to choose was always on the minds of the sailors, and unlike Matsui Kutaro and other high-ranking generals, ordinary Japanese sailors just wanted to return to their hometowns alive.

The situation in Singapore is becoming clearer day by day, and after getting the information they want, Pierce and his entourage have been escorted back to Xi'an, and the remaining American fighters are about to arrive, and Pierce, as the US military envoy, must be present when the fighters are handed over. "Boss, the Japanese have sent envoys, do you want to see them?" The day after Pierce left Singapore, something unexpected happened to Zhuo Fei, and the Japanese actually sent an envoy to his place.

"How could the Japanese send a so-called envoy at this time? Shouldn't they continue to send troops to aid the Singapore defenders? At the very least, they had to rescue their warships that were still floating outside the harbor area. Zhuo Fei couldn't think of the intention of the Japanese to send an envoy, from the moment Victor signed the employment contract with the U.S. government on behalf of the umbrella, the umbrella company was already inseparable from the Japanese army, could it be that the Japanese still wanted to pull the umbrella into their camp?

With deep doubts and various speculations, Zhuo Fei asked Zhuo Yan to bring a team of mercenaries and escorted the three so-called Japanese envoys to a manor near the sea to settle down first, but he urgently convened several staff members around him to discuss countermeasures. "Judging by the information we have received from Chongqing, it is likely that some agreement has been reached in the peace talks between the Japanese and the Chinese government. Our personnel stationed in the New Army also sent back telegrams that the New Second Army and the New Third Army had suspended all fighting since three days ago, and that only the New First Army on the outskirts of Shijiazhuang was still exchanging fire with the Japanese army. ”

The information compiled by the staff is not comprehensive, but after some analysis by everyone, it is not difficult for Zhuo Fei to conclude that it is likely that someone in Chongqing has already betrayed the intelligence of the umbrella to the Japanese, so the Japanese will come to the door. "Now that the Japanese already know the situation of our protective umbrella, there is no need to hide it anymore, and order the troops, starting today, to directly display the banner of our protective umbrella and declare to the outside world that we have accepted the employment of the Chinese community in Southeast Asia when we entered Southeast Asia."

Zhuo Fei's staff had already prepared for the break with the Chinese government, although the break was too sudden, but the umbrella company was not in a hurry. After consulting with his staff, Zhuo Fei drove with his escort to the manor by the sea, and the three Japanese envoys were currently under Zhuo Yan's close surveillance. "I'm Kazuo Suzuki, the Japanese Cabinet Envoy, so what should I call you? Should I call you Boss Zhuo or General Zhuo? The short Japanese in front of him had obviously mastered some information about the umbrella company, and before Zhuo Fei could speak, he first pointed out Zhuo Fei's surname.

The other party's preemptive voice did not cause any psychological pressure on Zhuo Fei, on the contrary, this meeting was simply dispensable for Zhuo Fei. "Special Envoy Suzuki, why don't we get straight to the point and explain your intentions directly. I'm busy, my troops are attacking Singapore, and if all goes well, maybe tomorrow when the sun rises, I'll be able to sit in Singapore and have breakfast. Zhuo Fei smiled nonchalantly, took the cigarette handed by Zhuo Yan and lit it.

As if sensing the contempt and disdain in Zhuo Fei's eyes, a trace of anger appeared on Kazuo Suzuki's face, but this anger only disappeared in an instant, replaced by peace. Kazuo Suzuki's reaction made Zhuo Fei secretly admire, and said in his heart that this little Japan is quite tolerant, and this Qi cultivation kung fu that changes his face in an instant is really good. "Mr. Zhuo, I am here this time with the friendship of the Great Japanese Empire, I hope Mr. Zhuo, you will not refuse the kindness of the Great Japanese Empire." In the first round of the confrontation, Kazuo Suzuki did not have the upper hand, and then unconsciously more hints and a little anger between the words.

"Oh, I wonder what Mr. Suzuki means by friendship? The Umbrella is a mercenary company, and how can you assert that we will reject the friendship you speak of, as long as there are enough benefits that appeal to us? Zhuo Fei's answer made Suzuki Kazuo not expect, according to the information they obtained from Chongqing, Zhuo Fei, the owner of the umbrella company, was an unscrupulous anti-war faction, but the answer Zhuo Fei gave just now was completely in the tone of a businessman, Suzuki Kazuo's head was suddenly a little confused, he didn't know how to answer Zhuo Fei's rhetorical question.

"What? Mr. Suzuki, is this question of mine difficult to answer? Zhuo Fei continued to say with a smile, pointing at the other party with the cigarette in his hand, Zhuo Fei suddenly found that the Suzuki Kazuo sitting opposite did not seem to be in a state, and the other party's somewhat scattered eyes did not escape Zhuo Fei's attention. The Japanese Cabinet really has no one who can handle it, and it would actually send such a thing to lobby itself, perhaps because the Japanese Cabinet does not take itself and the umbrella seriously at all.

Kazuo Suzuki's reaction to the out-of-standard made Zhuo Fei mutter, but fortunately, Kazuo Suzuki's trance was only a few seconds, and after a few seconds, Kazuo Suzuki, who had regained his senses, immediately threw out the so-called friendship. "Mr. Zhuo, we, the Imperial Japanese Empire, knew that the previous military operations of the Umbrella Company to the five South Asian countries were because we accepted the employment of the Chinese government. But now that we, the Empire of Japan, have reached a ceasefire agreement with the Chinese government, as the hired party, I think the mission of the umbrella company has been completed, I don't know if I am right to say this? ”

Zhuo Fei nodded with a smile and replied to Kazuo Suzuki, "That's right, if according to the employment contract we signed with the Chinese government at the beginning, once the Chinese government, as the employer, notifies us of the end of the military operation, then the employment contract signed between our umbrella and the Chinese government will be over." As soon as Zhuo Fei's words fell, Kazuo Suzuki was already impatient to take out an agreement and hand it to Zhuo Fei, and the huge blue sky and white sun flag logo on the cover of the agreement looked like something from the national government.

"Mr. Zhuo, on behalf of the Japanese government, I strongly request you to stop all military operations, this is a document of authorization agreement from the Chinese government to us, that is, I can now announce the termination of the employment contract with the umbrella company on behalf of the Chinese government." Handing the document in his hand to Zhuo Fei, Kazuo Suzuki's face was full of triumph, without the mercenary, the umbrella company would have no excuse to continue attacking Singapore.

Zhuo Fei took the document and flipped through it, then nodded at Kazuo Suzuki and said, "That's right, as long as you have this authorization document, Mr. Suzuki can indeed settle the employment contract with us in advance on behalf of the Chinese government." In other words, from this moment on, our umbrella company has no relationship with the Chinese government, and the umbrella company no longer accepts employment from the Chinese government. ”

"Since you have also agreed to terminate this employment contract with the Chinese government, can you also stop military operations against the Imperial Japanese army, including the attack on Singapore at this moment?" Zhuo Fei replied too happily, and Kazuo Suzuki didn't think that the umbrella dared to continue to fight with a sovereign country like Japan, so he unconsciously had a little more command and oppression between his words.

"Mr. Suzuki, I just said that I have agreed to the employment contract between Nakadan and the Chinese government, but I did not say that our umbrella company must withdraw from the Malay Peninsula or stop military operations against Singapore." Zhuo Fei smiled and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, then got up and looked at Kazuo Suzuki. "Actually, maybe Mr. Suzuki doesn't know that our umbrella company has accepted the employment of the U.S. government, and from now on, the whole of Southeast Asia will be our umbrella company's battlefield."

Without waiting for Kazuo Suzuki, whose face was full of shock, to speak, Zhuo Fei continued, "If Japan does not want to be our opponent under our umbrella, then you can withdraw all your troops from Southeast Asia, and according to the agreement signed between us and the US government, as long as there are Japanese soldiers in Southeast Asia, this will become our battlefield." At the same time, during the war, we are not responsible for protecting the safety of your Japanese nationals, including the so-called property security of Japanese nationals. ”

"Mr. Zhuo, I want to know, what you just said is an ultimatum to our Imperial Japan? You must know that you are facing the wrath and all-out blow of our Great Japanese Empire, and the umbrella is just a company, do you want to take your company to fight against the Great Japanese Empire to the end? Kazuo Suzuki's harsh words did not make Zhuo Fei flinch, on the contrary, after learning that the Chinese government had reached some agreement with Japan, Zhuo Fei's heart felt much lighter.
