Section 171 Post-war talks and peace
The dramatic changes on the battlefield of Arthur actually occurred between the three countries involved in this war. First of all, the Russian army has become a frightened bird, and it is afraid of the Japanese army. At first, in order to exonerate himself in front of the tsar, he lied about the strength of the Japanese army, but later he even believed his own lies. Therefore, the Russians are desperately trying to find a reason for themselves, the banner of the Manchurian Volunteers is so conspicuous, and their performance in the attack on the 203 heights gives the Russians an extremely tempting target.
The Russians, as always, were brutal and sent a letter of representation to the Qing Dynasty, which had declared its neutrality in advance, a strong protest that we can still hear on a regular basis today. We may just talk about it, but for the great powers faced by the Qing court, this situation usually means either war, or signing, renewing, renewing the contract, and so on, anyway, it is the rhythm of cutting and reparation, and it doesn't matter who comes first and who comes later. Although the corrupt Qing Dynasty government has become accustomed to the indemnity for land cession, its own people, oh, maybe it is the chaotic people who run to provoke the foreign lords, and then bring losses to the imperial court, it is the unbearable situation of the aunt and uncle.
The Japanese also continue to have an inauthentic international image, perhaps in their minds, accustomed to indecency and betrayal, and the Japanese diplomatic institutions, which have no entente spirit, are ashamed to admit that because a certain intern temporarily hired by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was given some important information by a foreign bar girl after a certain drunkenness, which led to the leakage of some international military cooperation agreements, although they took timely remedial measures, they regretfully announced that this incident had an extremely adverse impact on the allies. However, as a responsible power, Japan is willing to assume the responsibility and obligation to provide shelter to certain friendly people who supported Japan in this war, and it is very much looking forward to the insightful people joining the arms of the empire.
The heads of the Qing government read the following message from the Japanese very well-behaved, "This time Lao Maozi is pursuing the horse boy that Lao Tzu is shining, and you have a bright spot, if you dare to touch Lao Tzu's younger brother, Lao Tzu will not only take the brothers to redecorate his house, but also take the younger brother into the door by the way, and disassociate himself from you." So when Lafayette and a group of military planes caught between Japan and Russia were in a dilemma, they couldn't wait to bring this troublemaker back and take the fragrant head to make a roast suckling pig. However, at the suggestion of the British boss, the Military Aircraft Department had to draft an internal commendation order for Wu Chenxuan, the political envoy of Shandong, who was a model official of feudalism and morality who was diligent and loved the people, and an honorary title that could be passed on to future generations.
This matter is complicated to say, but it can be simply understood as: Lao Maozi picked a soft persimmon Daqingguo who was beaten and didn't fight back in order to find a black pot, and the little devil wrote and directed a temporary worker in order to frame his teammates. That's pretty much the case, anyway.
Although Kodama Gentaro arrived, he prevented the Japanese mountain artillery from firing, and indirectly saved some of the Japanese army's faces and lives, but after checking the losses of both sides, Kodama found that the ratio of one to three was too conservative. In fact, in terms of firepower output, one to five is more appropriate, if you take into account the bad behavior of these obscene two-gun parties before the stabbing fight, and then blow up and then use the cannon, the ratio of one to eight is more safe to measure. Kodama ordered the 22nd Wing to retreat 500 meters and give up half of the villa area, but the Japanese army turned their faces ruthlessly and made inches of small people, and those pigtailed soldiers did not take the opportunity to attack, but abandoned the three villas and retreated to the walls of the Chinese area.
The two sides disconnected, and Du Zicheng and Kodama Gentaro met in a villa in the middle of the battlefield, and no one cared whether the owner of this villa was dead or alive. Originally, Kodama Gentaro had some concerns about negotiating with a Qing military attache at the level of a general soldier, although the rank was comparable, but in the face of an arrogant, stubborn or cautious Qing official, he would not feel comfortable with any opponent. But when he came into contact with this chief soldier who was more than half younger than himself, Kodama Gentaro couldn't help but sigh that he was a hero from ancient times.
"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, before the talks, I would like to lodge a solemn protest with your army against your army's violation of the agreement, wanton torture and killing of peaceful residents, and attack our army at a time when our army is defending the terms of the agreement, causing heavy losses to our army's personnel and equipment. When the two sides shook hands and did not let go, Du Zicheng spoke like an endorsement, which made Kodama Gentaro, who was fluent in Chinese, deeply feel that his Chinese level was too watery, although the meaning was generally clear, but no matter what, it was still beyond his cognitive level for him to say such a provocative thing so righteously.
"I think you've misunderstood." Gentaro Kodama, who had just spoken, felt that his tone seemed to be too weak, and he lost the momentum of the imperial army. "You're beating you up, and that's a very bad act. You just shot at our troops..."
"Are you sure that these killed gangsters were active duty soldiers of the Japanese Army?" As soon as Du Zicheng raised his hand, he interrupted Kodama's words, "I ask the unrelated personnel on both sides to withdraw from the table, and I will issue some proofs below, after reading it, maybe you will have a clearer understanding of this incident." ”
"In that case, well, I'm not against that. But I have to remind you that you only have one chance to convince us. Kodama felt that it would be okay to look at the evidence of the Qing people, and waved his staff out of the hall, leaving only one confidential staff officer by his side, but he soon regretted this decision.
The sound of "Bibi Lulu", a silent film that seems to be quite clear, is rotating at a uniform speed of twenty-four frames per second, and the scene on the screen makes everyone gasp. It turned out to be a record of the bloody massacre that happened by the Longtang pond just now, and the camera stretched from a long distance, but the clarity did not drop much. The black uniforms of the Japanese army and the cold light on the bayonet are clearly distinguishable, and it is obvious that the crowd of Qing people was driven into the pond, and the scenes of being shot, slashed by knives, and tied to a tree to practice stabbing are all vivid, until the toddler was dismembered, only a Japanese officer was shot in the head as if suddenly struck by lightning, and then the Japanese army began to shoot in the direction of the Chinese area, and it took about half a minute before the Japanese soldiers were hit, and it could be seen that the other side had counterattacked. The film stopped abruptly, Kodama's back was already soaked with cold sweat, and when she saw the soldiers practicing stabbing with ordinary people, Kodama couldn't help but scold these soldiers for being pigs, even if they were assassinated, they would have avoided the other party's camera, are you blind with such a big box? In fact, Kodama blames these soldiers, if they can find out about Du Niang's holographic photography, there will be ghosts.
Du Zicheng was also sweating profusely, but he was angry, and in his heart, this photographer was simply not human, such a tragic scene was actually filmed without waves, and there was no shaking during the period, which shows how cold-blooded he is. That non-commissioned officer was also a soft egg, and he actually fired so late, if it weren't for the girl's life, these ordinary people would have died.
"The kind of film presented by your army can be shot from the studio, and cannot be used as evidence." The confidential staff officer hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself, but even Kodama shook her head. This kind of detail, which is clearly filmed on the spot, is clearly filmed on the spot, and if a Western press corps were to be invited to the scene for comparison, I am afraid that the face of the Japanese Empire will be trampled under its feet. Kodama didn't want to reprimand the staff officer who spoke rashly, so he stopped the staff officer from speaking with a wave of his hand. Then he said, "I have seen it, and I want to know how sincere you are in resolving this matter." ”
"Sincerity, why don't we see how our plane looks." After Du Zicheng finished speaking, he looked at Kodama Gentaro, and Kodama smiled after a slight groan. The projectionist received the order, and the next thing was an introduction to the fighter-bombers used by the Takewing New Army, which was actually an in-house teaching film for the air force itself, but the novel content, detailed records and assumptions about the role of aircraft in the war made Kodama Gentaro very surprised, although he still maintained his usual calm face, but he was already thinking about the comparison of the strength of the Japanese army and the Takewing New Army.
"There is no such thing as sincerity that cannot be solved, but an explanation is needed." The film is only five minutes long, and when the curtains are pulled back at the end, Kodama has already made up her mind.
There is an error in the clause, that is, there is an ambiguity in the understanding of the term "Chinese area". Du Zicheng pointed out the problem in the agreement, "Chinese area" in Chinese and Japanese can be understood as both the area inhabited by Chinese and the area inhabited by Chinese, and it is obvious that the latter includes most of the scope, even the former does not limit the Chinese area demarcated by the Russians, but can also include other villages and streets inhabited by Chinese.
"Well, in that case, we still hope that you can hand over the first murderer who shot the gun." Kodama still hopes to give an explanation to her younger brothers, and as for the issue of compensation, it seems that there is an opportunity for the two sides to talk.
"We found out that it was a conspiracy, and in fact we found out that it was the first shot fired by the remnants of the Russian resistance, who attacked one of our sentries, seized the gun, and shot the first shot at the officer who was carrying out the massacre on your side, posing as our army, causing an exchange of fire between the two sides, which was already tense. Although as a party to the agreement, we have the right to use all means to stop your massacre of the Chinese in the Chinese community in violation of the agreement. Du Zicheng made a serious statement, and his stomach was cramping with laughter.
"What about that, what about the Russian?" The confidential staff officer asked, Kodama covered her forehead and couldn't bear to look at it, and she said in her heart that this treasure would go down with a ladder, didn't you obviously believe the other party's nonsense when you asked? Although this is also a solution, such an IQ actually mixed up with the graduation of Lu University, which made Kodama have to be skeptical about the level of military school education in her country.
Sure enough, Du Zicheng spread his hands, "It's a pity, he was immediately discovered by our army and killed on the spot, the body is outside, if you need it, you can pack it and take it away." Then he turned to Kodama, "Your Excellency, this is our explanation, and we hope to help you convince other generals of your side." "The implication is that it's okay to have a brain-dead officer like this, as long as your generals can have a little brain.
Kodama nodded, reluctantly accepting such a result. Then there was a dinner party between the two sides, and a harmonious scene of agreement was reached. In the end, Kodama asked the guards to carry the corpse of an old Mao Zi wearing a military uniform of the Wuyi New Army that had been beaten into a sieve, and next to it was a Qin crossbow rifle that was said to be a murder weapon. As for how to explain to Nogi and the military department, Kodama is not worried that they are also as brain-dead as that confidential staff officer.
Oh, by the way, first go to the staff office to return the goods, and it would be good to change to a confidential staff officer with a positive IQ.
