Chapter 347: During the Talks

As for the United States and Japan not to continue to tear apart, but instead send negotiators to negotiate with the Xinghua Army, many people realize that the influence of the Xinghua Army is constantly expanding. Regarding Nanyang affairs, no one can avoid the existence of the Xinghua Army.

But for Zhao Tiehu, the United States sent a delegation to hope that the Xinghua Army would participate in the war, and the US military would rather spend money than have huge casualties like the previous one. In the end, the madness of the little devils really shocked many Americans.

It's just that for the Japanese army, it is already a little difficult to cope with the counterattack of the American army at this moment. If the Xinghua Army had joined it, Japan would have been defeated even faster, and the so-called holy war would have come to naught.

The previous battle in the Western Pacific seemed to have boosted the morale of the frustrated Japanese army. The newly recruited group of kamikaze drones are now also in intense training, waiting for the emperor's summons to them.

Even if many daredevils know that the first batch of kamikaze fighters are all broken. But the emperor and the Japanese cabinet ministers gave these jade squads great honors. Under this stimulus, many pilots have been beaten.

Although the bombing by the US military caused a great headache for the Japanese army. But at this moment, the Japanese army also began to move some factories to hidden mountains and reopen. There is only one purpose, and that is to ensure that their weapons production is not greatly affected.

Whether it is warships or aircraft, the Japanese army is in dire need of them now. On the contrary, the Army, which has suffered the largest number of casualties, has recently become the 'queen of the mother' in the hearts of the Japanese cabinet ministers, and it has not been able to apply for military spending on the Army at all.

Although the war in China was very unfavorable for the Japanese army at this moment. However, many Japanese generals knew that the time required for the Chinese anti-Japanese troops to recover the lost territories would not be shorter than the Japanese army's capture of these places.

Especially in Manchuria, which has almost become the base camp of the invading forces. On the other hand, at this moment, the Japanese army is constantly shrinking its defensive line to cope with the strong counterattack of the Chinese anti-Japanese war troops, hoping to hold on a little longer.

As long as it can thwart the Allies and resist the U.S. military's plan to land on its own soil, Japan may still have hope. For the sake of this glimmer of hope, Japan knew that the Xinghua Army was a pit, but it had to jump into this pit.

At least many Japanese generals stationed in Nanyang knew that the Xinghua Army actually had the strength to fully recover Nanyang. But the other party has been holding its ground, the purpose is to maintain the stability of the South Seas, and does not want to smash the South Seas.

After all, post-war reconstruction will require huge manpower and strength for any country. On the other hand, at this moment, the Xinghua Army is sitting on the wall and watching, whether it is the US army or the Japanese army, they need to take into account the existence of the Xinghua Army.

The Japanese delegation was headed by Du Yuesheng, and Zhao Tiehu believed that Du Yuesheng would get what he wanted. As for the US military, Zhao Tiehu personally received it, and I believe that the US military representatives did not have much to say.

It's just that Zhao Tiehu can only say sorry for the coming of the US military! After all, the Xinghua Army does not have the consciousness of being cannon fodder, but hopes to continue to maintain the status quo. Whether the U.S. military fights or not, in fact, he is not in a hurry.

Just as the Japanese army was about to get a little respite, it was the Americans who suffered in the end. Unless the Americans are willing to give up some of their interests in Asia, the US military can only bite the bullet or finally use the atomic bomb.

On the first day of the talks, looking at the representatives of the Xinghua Army sitting opposite, almost all of them were young and middle-aged. Among them, Li Hao, commander of the First Theater of Operations, also surprised many US representatives. The reason is that Li Hao's age doesn't seem to be very old.

However, according to the intelligence held by the US military, the first theater of the Xinghua Army is the most elite unit under the command of the Xinghua Army. Most of the rest of the military and government officials are young and strong, and they are all Chinese.

After the two sides exchanged some courtesies, the head of the US delegation also said in a timely manner: "General Chen, can you tell us about your conditions for this meeting?" What our president means is that you can mention it if you can! ”

In the face of the words of the head of the US military delegation, Zhao Tiehu smiled and said: "Thank you very much President Roosevelt for your greetings, and thank you very much for your country's continued support for the Xinghua Army." As for the conditions, in fact, your country should know.

At the beginning of its establishment, the Xinghua Army was an armed force formed to protect the interests of overseas Chinese. Thankfully, we succeeded. After the most difficult period, I finally got a relatively stable living environment.

As for your country's invitation, in fact, I would like to do that as well. After all, Japan has brought great disasters to my homeland and nation. But when it comes to sending troops, I'm afraid that I can't really help it. As the commander-in-chief, I am accountable to the people.

If you have searched for the deployment of Japanese troops in Nanyang, I believe you should know that the total strength of the Japanese army deployed in Nanyang is also hundreds of thousands, and if you add the puppet army troops, this number will be even greater.

Although in the previous battles, your country has dealt a heavy blow to their naval and air forces. However, your country should know that the Xinghua Army is only a newly formed army, and if it wants to fight to the death with Japan, the consequences will still be very serious.

I can't just lose the whole team because of my own selfishness. Most importantly, we've just had a bit of a stable life and we really don't want to spoil it. In that case, I won't be able to explain to the people who support me! ”

Hearing this, the head of the US military delegation thought for a while and said, "What if we support your independent statehood in Nanyang?" ”

Faced with such an answer, Zhao Tiehu shook his head with a smile and said: "Thank you very much for your kindness, but I must emphasize that after we came out of the motherland, we have lived here for many years and have our own lives.

In a sense, we have made a cut from our homeland. For the Chinese in Nanyang, this is the home of all Chinese. We will not do such a thing as building a country alone, and that will only be counterproductive.

The principle I advocate is a win-win situation and integration with the local people of Nanyang. Only by putting aside the ethnicity and race can the future of Nanyang be stable for a long time. Therefore, I can only accept this proposal of your country! ”

At this time, the deputy commander of the US military suddenly said: "What if we give up the interests of the Philippines?" If the whole of the Philippines is unconditionally ceded to you to operate, are you willing to send troops? ”

"The interests of the Filipinos are the interests of all Filipino people, not the interests of the Xinghua Army. The future of Mindanao will only belong to the Philippine Philippines. We can't do this kind of thing, and we don't want to do it.

Didn't your country's Civil War back then be precisely to maintain the integrity of the country? I believe that this is what many Filipbins and all Chinese people want to see. But I am glad to accept your proposal.

After all, the international situation has changed dramatically, and the colonial methods that once resembled aggression will only lead to more confrontation. If your country is willing to give up its interests in the Philippines, I believe that the Philippine government in the future will be willing to cooperate with the United States.

Earlier, I have also seen our industrial zone, and you should know that in the industrial zone, there is also a lot of investment in your country. If you are interested in learning about it, you should know that those American businessmen who have invested have actually made a lot of money.

Equal and friendly bilateral relations will also become the principle of getting along with each other. At this point, as long as your country sends some people to talk to the people of the Philippines, you should know what they really have to say! ”

Seeing that Zhao Tiehu had always refused to agree to send troops to cooperate with the US military in combat, the members of the delegation who came to meet him soon said: "General Chen's answer is very disappointing to us. Looks like you chose Japan anyway, right? ”

Faced with such an unhappy question from a US military colonel, Zhao Tiehu still shook his head with a smile and said: "We only choose ourselves, whether it is your country or Japan, we don't want to participate too much, we only work hard for freedom."

I know that your country lost the previous naval battle, and I believe that the pressure on the government is also very great. From your standpoint, it is only natural that you have come to negotiate with me this time. It's just that, from my point of view, you definitely don't think so.

After all, I am accountable to the people who support me, just as your president is responsible for your people. Although this analogy is somewhat inappropriate, I have a bitter reason for rejecting your country.

Of course, in order to maintain the friendship between our two sides, but also to look forward to a better future. I have a suggestion that I wonder if your country can consider it. Didn't you think about letting the Japanese fight among themselves? ”

As soon as these words came out, the head of the US delegation brightened up and said, "Please also ask General Chen for advice!" ”

"Actually, you came at a very timely time, and the day before you sent out the invitation for talks, the president of the Japan Salvation Association happened to come to my defense area and asked me for assistance. After all, there are a lot of victims in Japan right now.

As the leader of Japan's rebels, I am sure he would be happy to talk to you. As the war progressed to the present, anti-war sentiment in Japan was also on the rise. If you're willing to support him, I'm sure it's a good choice.

At least your country should know that among the Japanese troops in Southeast Asia, there are also those who support the National Salvation Association. In addition, the Salvation Association has now occupied Hokkaido, and if they can give more support, they may be able to launch a counterattack from Hokkaido.

At that time, it would have been easier for your country to carry out a landing operation and to destroy Japan's will to resist, right? And if the Salvation Association wants to form a new government in Japan, it will inevitably need the support of heavyweight allies.

I think your country's identity is very appropriate. On the issue of counterattacking Japan, it is certainly not possible for the Xinghua Army to send troops on a large scale, and I must ensure the stability of the South Seas. But with a little cooperation in secret, there is no problem! ”

If Zhao Tiehu's refusal was made somewhat angry in the hearts of these US military representatives. The method given at this moment made the US military representatives feel that it is very operable.

For the Americans, if they can get the Japanese to fight a civil war, it can indeed relieve them a lot of pressure. And what they have to do and pay may be lower than hiring the Xinghua Army to send troops!
