After analysis, the Chongqing Military Commission predicted a crushing victory for the Chinese army.

Because the time was too short, the preparations were not complete, and all kinds of war readiness materials could not keep up, and it was purely a struggle for the head, so after this battle, the loss of troops in the southwest was more than 40 percent.

The old man looked at the battle prediction, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

And there is another person who has the same mood as the old man, that is, the commander of the Japanese Southern Dispatch Army. He also had a battle damage forecast in front of him.

On the forecast table, the 40,000-strong imperial army is estimated to have 3,000 to 5,000 men.

This is the maximum capacity of a troop carrier, and if the Chinese military sends out planes, it is not known how many people will be able to escape.

The Southern Commander sent this battle damage forecast to the Pearl Japanese Army Headquarters in China.

The command of the Japanese forces in China organized personnel to conduct a reassessment, and the results were the same as those of the Southern Dispatch Army.

The headquarters of the Japanese forces stationed in China immediately reported the situation to the Tokyo base camp.

Two hours later, a call came from the Tokyo base camp: find a way to cease fighting and withdraw all the personnel to Guangzhou.

The headquarters of the Japanese forces stationed in China immediately issued an order to the southern dispatch army to withdraw its troops.

However, the southern army sent a telegram back, and because there were no means of transporting troops by sea, the front line could not withdraw all the men and horses, and could only withdraw 3,000 people.

was so angry that the commander of the Japanese garrison scolded: Did you withdraw the 3,000 officers, and the rest of the soldiers were gone, so that the Chinese army could eat?

When the commander of the Japanese army stationed in China and the people in a large room were worried, the chief of staff asked Yamada: "Can Yamada-kun contact Wang Jie and ask him to come forward to persuade Chongqing to cease fighting?" After all, if all 40,000 people of the imperial army were killed, their Chinese army would also have 100,000 people to be buried with them, which would be a loss for both sides. ”

Yamada stood up: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Wang Jie has never contacted us in the past few years, and he doesn't pay attention to him, he only has a relationship with Zhou Lin." ”

The commander immediately said, "Then let this little guy Zhou Lin go to Guangxi." ”

Ozaki immediately stood up and replied, "Zhou Lin is now in Nanyang, on his island. ”

"Oh!" The commander immediately remembered, and he immediately said: "Now order: First, the military department immediately makes the content of the conditions for peace talks. ”

A major general immediately stood up: "It will be done in three hours." ”

The commander looked at the chief of staff: "Immediately telegraph to the base camp of my request: I hope that the aircraft on the naval aircraft carrier will transport Zhou Lin to the Southern Dispatch Army Headquarters immediately to accept the mission." ”

"Yes!" The chief of staff hurriedly ran out.

"Yamada-kun!" The commander looked at Yamada: "That little guy doesn't listen to others, but listen to you and Ozaki-kun, after you get the terms of the peace talks, you will immediately fly to the Southern Dispatch Army Headquarters, where you will explain the task to him." ”

Yamada and Ozaki replied, "We will definitely urge him to complete the task." ”

"Order the front-line troops of Beihai Defense City to establish a strong first line of resistance, and withdraw more people after there is no hope of striving for peace talks." The commander sighed.

The telegram between the Japanese troops stationed in China and Tokyo was received by Wu Mingtao, who immediately sent a telegram to Zhou Lin informing him of the situation.

Zhou Lin asked Xiangjun to pack his luggage and prepare to return to China.

At the same time, Zhou Lin told Yang Kun about the situation and asked him to telegraph Dai Li.

After receiving the telegram, Dai Li ran to the old man excitedly.

"Principal, the Japanese are ready to negotiate peace with us, withdraw the front-line troops of Qinzhou Fangcheng in Beihai, and withdraw from here." Dai Li reported as soon as he entered the door.

"How do you know?" The old man looked at Dai Lia suspiciously.

Dai Li's heart tightened: "It was Zhou Lin who called and said that the Japanese asked him to find Wang Jie, persuade Wang Jie to go to the party members, and persuade the principal to agree to the peace talks." ”

The old man's heart fell to the ground at once, and for the past few hours, he has been struggling with whether to fight or not, and this time the Japanese want to make peace and withdraw from Beihai and other places, which is a great joy for the Chinese military and people.

"What about Zhou Lin? Did he return to Pearl? The old man asked.

"No, he's still in the South Seas. He intercepted the telegram between the headquarters of the Japanese forces in China and Tokyo, and learned the news in advance. ”

"Oh! How did he have this ability? The old man asked with interest.

"It turned out that a cryptographic expert in the Chongqing Military Commission was so excluded by his superiors and subordinates in Chongqing that he couldn't live, so he went to Mingzhu. After being captured by the Japanese, knowing that he was a cryptographic expert, he set up a decipherment office on Zhou Lin's dock, and Zhou Lin served as the decipherment director. So the two of them hooked up together. ”

"So it seems that the cryptographer is very powerful, how did he get forced out?"

"Principal, Chongqing's officialdom is like this, I can't see anyone better than myself."

The old man scolded: "Mother! Philistines make mistakes! ”

In the end, the result of the discussion was that Dai Li personally went to Nanning to receive Zhou Lin.

After receiving a telegram from Chongqing and understanding the conditions, Zhou Lin finally received an order from Yamada to let him and Kobayashi fly directly from the sea to Guangzhou by Japanese naval plane.

Zhou Lin immediately found Cui Haitao and Fang Long, told them about his immediate return to China, and asked them to be responsible for protecting the safety of Zhoujia Island.

"Young master, don't worry! The coastal defense artillery has been installed and is ready for use. Our guys have been training for the past few days, and we'll be able to hit where to hit in no time. ”

Fang Long also said: "There are those in Nanyang who are stronger than us, but as long as they enter our Zhoujia Island, they will only be beaten." ”

Zhou Lin also knew the strength of Zhoujiadao now, so he didn't worry.

Next, Zhou Lin invited two administrative directors hired by Zhou Lin, which were Chinese managers with management experience hired by Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin listened to their opinions and asked them to let go and manage the two islands well, and if there was an emergency, they could discuss it with Cui Haitao and Fang Long, and if they couldn't solve it, they could call Zhou Lin.

The island's funds are enough for Zhoujiadao to use for five years, so there is no shortage of grain and grass.

After finishing all this, the Japanese warship that happened to pick up Zhou Lin came.

Zhou Lin took Xiangjun, Yulan, Li Shiba, and Xiaolin, and the five of them on the warship.

Yang Kun could not get on the plane, he would take a boat back to Mingzhu, but Zhou Lin, in the name of connecting with Zhoujiadao, brought a miniature transmitter of the US military from the US naval base, which could be used to contact Zhoujiadao in China.

The transmitter is controlled by Xiangjun, so Zhou Lin can contact Yang Kun at any time.

Two hours later, Zhou Lin boarded a plane on a Japanese aircraft carrier and flew directly to Guangzhou.

When Zhou Lin got off the plane, he unexpectedly saw Yamada and Ozaki.

"You can't enter Guangzhou, because there are too many Chinese spies in Guangzhou, and many things can't be hidden from them." Yamada took Zhou Lin and Kobayashi to a reception room at the military airport.

"Our opinion is that you will fly directly to Nanning from here and be airborne from Nanning." Ozaki spoke out about their decision.

"Have you contacted Wang Jie?" Yamada asked.

After contacting, Wang Jie said that some people in Chongqing were forcing peace talks, but the effect was not great. He was ready to come to Nanning in person, and the commander of the theater of operations in Nanning was his friend, and he could buy 24 hours for the imperial army to evacuate. Zhou Lin said according to Dai Li's meaning.

"On what terms?" Yamada knew that Wang Jie was a master who didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles.
