Without any hesitation, Xinbei vetoed these peace talks proposed by the Japanese government. And it looks like the president's face is very ugly, which is an expression of anger.

Zhu Erdian's face immediately turned pale, and he couldn't find how to persuade the angry president of the Republic of China for a while, but the low-key American Minister Stead whispered a few words.

"I can understand your anger, Mr. President. As a U.S. diplomat in China, I am also very disgusted by the bad attitude of the Japanese side, and these conditions for negotiation are indeed unacceptable. That is why I hope to be able to come up with new terms for negotiations in my capacity as a mediator in the United States. ”

"What do you mean, Mr. Stade?"

Zhu Erdian was very surprised, according to his understanding, the United States should be in step with Britain, but now it seems that the Americans clearly have other plans.

"Actually, this is not what I meant, but what the US State Department meant, according to the telegram sent to me by Mr. Secretary of State, if the conditions proposed by the Japanese side are not acceptable to the Chinese side, then. It is up to the mediator to propose additional terms for negotiation. In order to ease the situation and avoid unnecessary wars. Mr. Secretary of State has emphasized that if Japan wants to undermine peace in the Far East, the United States Government will never sit idly by. ”

Stade's remarks indicate that the U.S. government is likely to have further clarified its Far East policy, that is, "uniting China to resist Japan," which made Zhu Erdian very worried. And the president of the Republic of China over there smiled.

"Stadger, what are the conditions that the U.S. government is preparing for peace talks?" Zhu Erdian asked.

"Actually, this is only my initial idea, not the official policy of the US government, and I have only two conditions: the first condition is that the Chinese side should immediately issue an order prohibiting its businessmen and nationals from providing any financial and armed support to the anti-Japanese elements in North Korea; The second condition is that the Chinese side should immediately take down all anti-Japanese Korean organizations in China. It would also be desirable to establish several refugee camps in China on the right bank of the Yalu River to house guerrilla brains on the Korean Peninsula and members of Korean anti-Japanese organizations who have been taken persimmons, as well as any expatriates who wish to go into exile, and to prohibit them from participating in any anti-Japanese activities. ”

Stade's article looked fair, but it was too far away from Japan's requirements, Zhu Erdian shook his head, and Zhao Bei also shook his head.

"What's the problem?" Stade asked.

"Anything else is good, but I cannot agree with Mr. Minister on the question of the refugee camps. I have always been opposed to interference in the internal affairs of other countries, and Korea is at war with Japan. That's between the two countries. It has nothing to do with China, and the activities of the anti-Japanese elements in the DPRK have indeed interfered with the social order in our country, so even if your envoy does not mention this condition, I will find a way to disguise the anti-Japanese militant organization in the DPRK. The key is the issue of refugee camps. If a refugee camp were to be set up in our territory to accommodate the exiles on the Korean Peninsula, it would be a threat to our strategic security, because on the one hand, these internees would be of mixed quality and would be detrimental to public order, and on the other hand, if we were to house them, we would need a lot of money, and where would this money come from? Besides. The refugee camp is located on the banks of the Yalu River, and it is convenient for the Japanese troops to come and go, and if they enter our country to fight under the pretext of eliminating anti-Japanese elements, it will not do any good to the current situation in the Far East. ”

Zhao Bei expressed his views on the two conditions of negotiation. Now the anti-Japanese forces in North Korea are indeed exhausted, and they are no longer of much use. Rather than indiscriminately contain them, it is better to leave them to fend for themselves, and only need to take in some of the backbones.

"However, if the situation on the Korean Peninsula is not under control, the Japanese army will not stop the military clearance operation, so it seems to me that the anti-Japanese elements in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula must stop their military confrontation, but considering that they do not trust the Japanese. Therefore, if you want them to give up resistance, you have to find a way out for them. Only by ensuring the safety of their lives will it be possible for them to lay down their arms and give up their senseless resistance. ”

Speaking of this, Stade glanced at Zhu Erdian. Then he glanced at Zhao Bei again, but neither of them answered.

"Maybe we can find a workaround, this camp is not located in Manchuria, but in Mongolia, and as for the financial problem, maybe it can be solved by clearing the land, I heard. There is now a lot of newly cultivated farmland in Mongolia. North Koreans will at least farm the land. ”

Hearing Stade's suggestion, Zhu Erdian slandered "whimsical"

As for Zhao Bei, he thinks the same way, indeed. Stade regarded himself too much as a person, and he actually wanted to settle a group of foreign exiles in Mongolia, not to mention that the government of the Republic of China would not agree, even Russia, which regarded Mongolia as a forbidden descent, would not agree.

But then again, that's how Stade arranged. It may not be that there is no intention of confronting Russia, so Zhao Bei will not be able to agree.

But on the other hand, Si Dyde's whimsy broadened Zhao Bei's thinking, he pondered for a while, and his whimsical move.

"If Mr. Minister really wants to leave a way out for those anti-Japanese exiles on the Korean Peninsula from a humanitarian point of view, I think it would be more appropriate for them to go into exile in the Nanyang region." Zhao Bei said the idea he had just figured out.

"Nanyang?" Zhu Erdian was stunned.

"To the Nanyang area? That might be a good idea. The rubber plantations and tin mines in Nanyang all need labor, and if the anti-Japanese elements in Korea do not want to stay in the country and be wiped out by the Japanese one by one, perhaps working in Nanyang is their only option. By the way, speaking of which, I suddenly remembered that before the republican revolution in China, there were also many exiles and revolutionaries who were active in Nanyang, which shows that the Nanyang region is indeed a paradise for exiles. Stade was also eye-catching. Echoed the voice.

"So, Mr. Stadger, how much of the Korean anti-Japanese equinox can be contained in the Philippine Salt Land of the United States... Dian asked.

"Why the Philippines? And not Malaya or Borneo? Stade asked rhetorically.

Seeing that the two diplomats in front of him began to intrigue, Zhao Bei couldn't help but smile bitterly, what does it mean to be "self-bound"? Stade's approach was just that he had intended to use this cocoon to bind others.

"Two, there's no need to argue. Whether it is the Philippines or Malaya, it is a colony of the United States and the United Kingdom. The Chinese can't get involved, so if they really want to contain North Korean anti-Japanese elements. I am afraid that this is a matter between the two ministers and their own governments, and the contemptible people will not intervene. Of course, if this problem is solved, then. These two conditions for negotiations, Mr. US Minister, are very satisfactory, and I have no objection to holding talks with the Japanese Government on this basis for a peaceful settlement of the "Northeast Asian crisis"

Seeing that Zhao Bei accepted Stade's proposal, Zhu Erdian had no choice but to temporarily put aside the plan to establish a "paradise for exiles" in Nanyang. Recommendations were made to the President of the Republic of China.

"In view of the fact that these two negotiating conditions of Mr. Stade are too far from those proposed by the Japanese side, will Mr. President show some sincerity? At least. Let the Government of Japan see your country's efforts to seek reconciliation

Zhao Bei pondered for a moment, nodded, and said: "Then, I immediately ordered that all squadrons in the three eastern provinces should stand by and not advance further without orders, and in addition, I also hope that the Japanese army will stop all military exercises against squadrons." In addition, I believe that as a mediator, the British government should exert greater pressure on the Japanese government with the momentum of a great power to force it to end all military provocations and sit back at the negotiating table. Quell. ”

Now that Mr. President had shown sincerity, it seemed impossible for Jurdian and Stade to continue to exert any effective diplomatic pressure on the powerful president, so they took their leave, and hurried back to the legation to ask their own government for instructions.

Zhao Bei sent the two ministers to the front of the presidential palace, and then hurriedly returned to the commander's hall, and with a phone call, he called Jin Zhaokun, another main person in charge of the military intelligence bureau.

"How is your military intelligence in the South Seas?" Zhao Bei didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly when he came up.

"Mainly through the Hongmen to show strength. At present, the progress is quite smooth, but Nanyang is not as good as China, where it is the territory of the great powers, and many things cannot be done by relying on overseas Chinese alone, and we still have to pull some foreigners to support them. Why did the president suddenly ask about Nanyang? Is it getting information again? The main leader of the League has gone to the South Seas again? Shall we send the killer again? ”

Kim Zhaokun was born in the party. The aura of the rivers and lakes on this body is inevitably heavier, and the murderous aura is also heavier, but this can't be blamed on him. As the chief of the Fourth Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he often plotted and carried out some assassination operations, which is different from the Fifth Division, which is currently mainly focused on gathering intelligence, and the "wet work" of the Fifth Division does not do much, but if they really plan to do it. That is often a "big deal", and it is usually planned by the director Tian Jinfu himself.

"The Alliance? That organization has long since died in name, and it is not their turn yet, but it is necessary to beware of the Japanese making a fuss about the alliance. ”

Seeing that his subordinates had misunderstood what he meant, Zhao Bei smiled faintly and said, "I called you over today to give you a task." Some time ago, didn't I send you a few Koreans who can speak Chinese? You are ready to prepare now. As soon as the order arrived, he sent the North Koreans to Nanyang, where they settled in Singapore and awaited further orders. ”

"Understood. I'll do it. ”

Jin Zhaokun nodded. Seeing that the president was making a calculation, he suddenly remembered something, so he said, "Commander-in-chief." I suddenly remembered something, a few days ago there was a piece of information from Xijiang, saying that a character named Zhang Xiaolin was drunk and bragged to others, saying that he assassinated Tao Chengzhang in the first place, should we arrest him for trial? ”

"Zhang Xiaolin?"

Zhao Bei was stunned, although he felt that this name was familiar, and he might be one of the "Four Great People" in Shanghai. But now he doesn't have time to recruit any talents, the "truth" of Tao Chengzhang's assassination has long been made public, that is the means used by Zhao Bei to fight the forces of the Alliance, and it is an "iron case" that cannot be overturned, no matter whether this Zhang Xiaolin is the real murderer of Tao Chengzhang, Zhao Bei does not care. But if the presence of this person threatens his interests, then decisive action must be taken immediately.

"Is this Zhang Xiaolin in your hands now?" Zhao Bei asked.

"The whereabouts are already under control." Jin Zhaokun nodded.

"Deal with him right away.

Zhao Bei gave an order expressionlessly.

"Yes"

Jin Zhaokun took the order and left. Didn't ask "why" As an intelligence chief who followed the commander-in-chief, he was very clear about the nature of his work, and in this profession, there was no "why" only "whether to do it or not" and he didn't do it. There will be others to do it, and whether to do it or not is directly related to his personal future, since he has chosen this line of work, then there is no turning back.

The same is true of Zhao Bei, since he has become the yuan of this country, then, no matter how despicable means are, they must be used. This is true internally, but also externally.
