Before there was a turning point in the war situation in the south of the river, the General Staff Headquarters decided to re-start the peace work of Zhu Junpin, and this work was still handed over to Akira Akira and Takeo Imai to complete" When the two were preparing, there were changes in Japan, and the Hiranuma cabinet came to Taiwan, and Army General Nobuyuki Abe came forward to form a cabinet under the recommendation of the important ministers. The whole book

Shadow Showa and Imai Takeo decided to set the negotiation location in Hong Kong instead of Shanghai after receiving the order, after Wang Tianmu and others were killed, the trap set by Shadow Sawa Akira was successful, but Shadow Akira himself knew that this success was very limited, and the spies buried in the empire were locked in the Shanghai office of the Manchurian Railway, but the suspicion in Chongguangtang was not completely eliminated, and in order to prevent leaks, the negotiation location was changed to Hong Kong.

Shadow Showa and Imai Takeo came to Hong Kong separately, and Wang Jingwei's negotiators changed slightly, adding a Zhou Longitch in addition to Gao Zongwu and Mei Siping, and in the information obtained by Shadow Zuo, this person had served as Wang Jingwei's Japanese translator and was Wang Jingwei's cronies. The appearance of Zhou Longitch made both Kagezo and Imai very excited, which shows that this negotiation was carried out under the personal guidance of Wang Jingwei, and was no longer Zhou Fohai's "secret." Let's go.

But the negotiations still did not go very smoothly, the two sides quickly reached an agreement on breaking away from the Chiang Kai-shek government and the position of **, but there was a stalemate on the issue of Manchukuo and the withdrawal of troops, Gao Zongwu refused to write in the treaty to recognize Manchukuo, and demanded that Japan withdraw from China within one year after reaching an agreement, and restore the situation before the Lugou Bridge Incident, although he refused to provide compensation to Japan.

With the fall of Tianjiazhen and the fall of Guangzhou, Gao Zongwu and Mei Siping's attitudes quickly softened, and Kagezo and Imai also changed their tactics, taking a step back except for insisting on the Manchukuo issue. For example, Wang Jingwei, who was most concerned about the withdrawal of troops, agreed to withdraw troops within two years after the situation stabilized, but asked for the Inner Mongolia issue to be specialized. Waiver of state compensation, but retention of compensation for Japanese nationals.

After the Nationalist government announced the abandonment of Wuhan, negotiations soon reached an agreement in which Wang Jingwei agreed to recognize Manchukuo; Japan has the right to garrison troops in Inner Mongolia, and the two sides have concluded a mutual defense agreement; Japan renounced state compensation, and the Chinese government provided partial compensation for the losses of Japanese nationals in the war; Japan renounced the concession. consular jurisdiction and extraterritoriality; After the situation stabilized, Japan withdrew from the occupied Chinese territory in two years.

After the agreement was reached, both parties involved in the negotiations were relieved, and Kagesa Zhenzhao asked the prepared red wine to be served, and he raised his glass and said to Gao Zongwu and the others, "Toast to peace coming."

The wine glass touched lightly a few times, and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao obviously felt that the atmosphere was not as warm as he imagined, but on the contrary, there was a kind of heaviness, and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao understood that although the agreement was reached, there was still a big Don River variable whether it could be realized, and the biggest problem with this agreement was Chiang Kai-shek, if Chiang Kai-shek's control over the army was still there, if he did not admit it, I am afraid that peace would be very early.

"Mr. Gao, if Mr. Wang Jingwei has no opinion on the treaty, please tell us as soon as possible, so that we can take the next step Ying Zuo Zhenzhao smiled, in his opinion, this treaty has been very lenient and has tried its best to meet the requirements of the Chinese side, and the Chinese side should understand this.

"It's nature". Gao Zongwu put down his wine glass and sighed, he actually knew very well in his heart that if this condition was followed, Wang Jingwei would not object, but he still felt uneasy in his heart: "Mr. Yingzuo, to be honest, the gap between this treaty and our estimate is still quite large, especially without mentioning Mr. Jiang, you must know that he still has a lot of influence in today's China, can't your government give up the condition of not negotiating with Mr. Jiang?"

"We certainly hope that Chiang will join the ranks of building a new order in East Asia, but before that happens, he must abandon his anti-Japanese stance." Takeo Imai said calmly.

"We have talked about this issue several times, and our attitude is very clear, after the conquest of Wuhan, Mr. Chiang Kai-shek should understand that his regime has been reduced to a local power, and no longer has the power of the whole country, and we have not closed the door to cooperation, and we hope that he will understand that ism is the greatest threat in Asia." Kagesa Zhenzhao's tone was very gentle, but the attitude he showed was still relatively tough.

Gao Zongwu didn't answer, he silently drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, put down the wine glass and gently patted Mei Siping's shoulder and stood up, and clasped his fists at Yingzuo and Imai: "Since this is the case, we will leave, Lao Mei will bring the agreement back to Chongqing, and I will stay in Hong Kong."

Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao nodded, but he asked Gao Zongwu to wait a little longer, he went out first to inquire about the situation outside, and only after getting a definite guarantee did he send Gao Zongwu and them away.

"We should not exclude Chiang Kai-shek from this negotiation I am afraid that Tokyo's judgment will be wrong again Standing by the window and watching Gao Zongwu and their figures disappear, Imai Takeo muttered softly.

Sometimes patriotism is a dose of poison Kagesa Zhenzhao's tone is no longer as firm and calm as just now, on the contrary, with a hint of helplessness, Imai Takeo heard that this was said by Ito Hirobumi after the assassination of Li Hongzhang, and at this moment his mood was similar to Kagesa Zhenzhao, and they knew more about the situation in China

Six: The influence of the Second Guard in the army was very poor, and Chiang Kai-shek still firmly controlled the army, saying that they had instigated Long Yun and Yu Hanmou, and if necessary, they could set up a government in southern Yunnan, which was still under Long Yun's control. They were a little unconvinced of this, and the intelligence from Chongqing showed that Chiang Kai-shek's most capable student, the general of China, who had brought great shame to the emperor's army, had firmly controlled Yunnan.

"Don't Itagaki-kun understand? After the resignation of Hiranuma Rankaku, Seishiro Itagaki did not serve as the Minister of War in the Abe Cabinet, but instead became the deputy chief of the General Staff, another hardliner representative in the Army, Hideki Tojo, another hardliner representative in the Army, continued to serve as the Deputy Minister of the War Department, and actually led the policy of the Army.

"The military department is brewing the collapse of the cabinet, it is not easy for us to win this, their appetite is higher Shadow Sazhen Zhao smiled bitterly, the battle in Wuhan is fierce, and all the energy of the Chinese army is on this, Imai Takeo does not understand the situation in the country.

After Itagaki was transferred to the General Staff, there was no one to restrain him on the nose of Tojo Hide, and he began to purge his political opponents, the first to bear the brunt was the Ishihara Waner faction, Ishihara Waner was transferred from the post of deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army to the Tsurumai Fortress as the commander, the name of the Tsurumai Fortress is good, and the title of commander is also relatively prominent, but there is not a single soldier under his hand, the pure bare-bones commander, and the non-expansion faction in the military department have been transferred, and some have been directly transferred to the reserves.

Fortunately, it was the War Guidance Division of the General Staff that guided this negotiation, and it was also the consensus of the Shigetsu clique to quell the Shina Incident, but it was also influenced by Tojo, and the original conditions did not recognize Manchukuo, and Kagezo discussed with Itagaki that the Manchukuo issue could be left for the future, but it was retained at Tojo's insistence.

"I want to fall again." Takeo Imai almost screamed out out in a gaffe, and the military department wanted to get it down less than two months after the Abe cabinet was established, which is true.

"Isn't it child's play to change cabinets so frequently during the war?" Takeo Imai couldn't help but start whining.

Tojo and they advocated the signing of the German-Japanese-Italian Triple Alliance Treaty as soon as possible, but they were opposed by the Navy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and several cabinet meetings did not reach a decision, and Admiral Abe had no choice, so they wanted to bring down Abe, change the foreign minister, and force the Navy to give in on this issue.

The Abe cabinet is actually a product of compromise, the main reason for the fall of the Hiranuma cabinet is the issue of the Triple Alliance, plus the previous Konoe cabinet, there have been several Ran cabinets that have fallen into the hands of the army, which has caused the vigilance of the important minister group, and at the beginning of the Abe cabinet, the army was checked and balanced, and Admiral Noyama was appointed as foreign minister.

After Noyama became foreign minister, he naturally took the navy's point of view as the standard, and resolutely opposed the Triple Alliance, believing that this alliance would induce war with Britain and the United States, which was very dangerous to the future of the empire. This aroused strong resentment among the Army, which firmly supported the Triple Alliance, and hard-line elements in the Army were agitating for the government to be overthrown.

"The Triple Alliance? Triple Alliance again. Imai Takeo sighed, to be honest, he supported the Triple Alliance, he thought that the Triple Alliance could contain Britain and the United States and be conducive to the settlement of the China Incident, but if the China Incident was resolved, it would be meaningless to join the Triple Alliance.

"After the occupation of Guangzhou, China's ports were all controlled in our hands, and the British blocked the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and all the external traffic of China was blocked, and Wang Jingwei's response made it finally possible for the China Incident to end." Kagesa let out a long sigh of relief, and he felt a sense of relief at this cut, like a mountain being lifted from his shoulders.

Takeo Imai next to him also feels the same way, as a senior general has an understanding of the current situation of the empire, and the materials transported from the country are getting less and less, Tada Jun has been angry at the country many times, not only is there very little food, but the canned beef and fish meat that there is still is not visible at all, and now even the weapons are insufficient, and the weapons used in the middle school training in the country have been collected by the troops, and the military department has ordered several times that all troops in China should fight to feed the war and make full use of the resources of China, but this has led to a stronger resistance of the people in China, and the situation of the occupying army has become worse, It has become more difficult to maintain order in the occupied territories.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has made a great contribution this time," said Kagesa Zhenaki, "I hope that Wang Jingwei will agree to this treaty and end the Shina incident as soon as possible." ”

After Gao Zongwu and Mei Siping returned, they agreed that Mei Siping and Zhou Longku would return to China and report to Wang Jingwei, and Gao Zongwu would stay in Hong Kong to listen to the letter.

Mei Siping copied the secret contract on silk and sewed it into the inner lining of his suit, he did not dare to go to Yunnan, but passed through the Japanese-occupied area of Guangzhou, went to Nanning to take a plane to Chongqing, and after getting off the plane, he went straight to the Wang Jingwei banquet house in Liziba.
