Chapter 132: Japan's Compromise
Perhaps it was to confirm that Wei Qidong could not hold on, and the hardliners and the non-expansion faction continued to quarrel, or did not discuss a final decision, as if they wanted to see whether Wei Qidong would continue to attack, so as to provide some reference for each of them.

But in the next few days, Wei Qidong did not disappoint the Japanese, and attacked ten cities in a row, including important cities such as Kobe and Otsu. Moreover, judging from the direction of the attack, it is slowly approaching Tokyo.
In other words, in a few days, Wei Qidong may attack Tokyo.
At this time, the Japanese military headquarters could not sit still at all, and some high-ranking Japanese military officials who were responsible for chasing down Wei Qidong were dismissed from their posts in batches, and some of those who failed to rescue and respond in a timely manner were also severely punished. However, they still couldn't do anything about Wei Qidong, who came and went without a trace.
Umezu Mijiro Sugiyama Yuan, who has always been arrogant, also had nothing to say for a while, after all, it is not enough to be tough just by words, and there is no effective way to deal with Wei Qidong, everything is in vain.
Finally, it was Emperor Hirohito who came forward and asked to take the initiative to contact Wei Qidong, no matter what, talk about it first. It seems that he is also watching during this time.
Hirohito handed over this task to the non-expansion faction, and paid such a big price, the Japanese no longer pretend and force, after all, pretending and forcing is to be strong, who told them to take Wei Qidong now.
The non-expansion faction, represented by Ishihara Waner, Shibayama Kanshiro, and Yonechi Mitsumasa, discussed it for a while, and felt that they should communicate with Wei Qidong first.
In the past, if you could do it, the Japanese would definitely not beep. But this time, the Japanese, who forced them to be arrogant, can move their mouths and can choose not to do it. After all, this embarrassing situation is not what they Japanese want to see.
The Japanese side took the initiative to contact Wei Qidong, but did not receive an immediate response.
That night, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi were outside Nagoya, and they began to decipher the content of the Japanese telegram.
"Hmph, the little devils took the initiative to contact us, which shows that they are already a little afraid in their hearts, but they still show an arrogant posture in the telegram." Tang Xinyi was very unimpressed by the Japanese force.
"The Japanese are already arrogant, how easy it is to make them bow their heads, and we forced them to take the initiative to contact us this time to hint that peace talks can be held, which is already a great success." Wei Qidong said with a smile.
"Brother Dong, what do you think we should do next?" Tang Xinyi asked.
"Now this kind of thing is destined to be impossible to do forever, and our ultimate goal is to find a suitable solution. If it drags on, it will not be good for the Japanese or for ourselves. Moreover, the disadvantage for us is even greater. ”
"I haven't talked to the Japanese before, but this time it's a big deal, let's negotiate it well, and we can't lose at the negotiating table......
Tang Xinyi nodded, so she discussed various details with Wei Qidong and the others, first listed the goals that they most hoped to achieve, then picked out the most important ones, and finally determined the bottom line goal.
After setting the goal of the negotiation, Wei Qidong replied to the Japanese with a telegram, probably saying that he Wei Qidong was unwilling to make a move against civilians, and he was really forced by the Japanese army, so he could only retaliate. Since he Wei Qidong has carried out the expected revenge, and also made the Japanese realize their mistakes, and the Japanese are willing to reflect, then he Wei Qidong is also willing to give a chance.
The Japanese have actually been waiting for Wei Qidong's reply, if they can't wait for Wei Qidong's reply, it means that Wei Qidong will continue to attack Japanese cities, which is not what they want to see.
As a result, I finally waited for a reply, but this content made these high-ranking Japanese soldiers who did not expand their factions so angry that they blew their beards and glared. The content of this reply telegram can be interpreted from another angle, that is: I, Lord Wei Qidong, will give you Japanese a chance to reform your ways, and in the next negotiations, you Japanese should show a good attitude to admit your mistakes and strive for leniency.
Shibayama Kanshiro and Ishihara Kanshiro are not very good-looking, Ishihara Kanshiro is known as Japan's first soldier, Shibayama Kanshiro himself has been engaged in spy activities in China for a long time, although they are not expanding the faction, but they are not sympathetic to China or afraid of Wei Qidong. Rather, they analyzed the pros and cons of the incident for Japan from their own point of view, and if the disadvantages outweighed the advantages, they were non-expansionists, but if the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, then they would immediately turn into hardliners. After all, these two are not fuel-efficient lamps either.
"You don't have to be so angry, there is no point in arguing with words. Since Wei Qidong is also willing to talk, let's talk about it. If you are powerful at the negotiating table, you are really powerful. "Mitsumasa Minai belongs to the navy, and the navy and the army have always been at odds, and he feels that these things are all pulled out by the army, so he has a lot of opinions about the army. Mitsumasa Yonechi was one of the few Japanese soldiers who supported the non-expansion faction since the full-scale outbreak of the war of aggression against China, because it was none of his business.
"Hmph, negotiate, does he Wei Qidong dare to show up to talk?" Ishihara Kol sneered, "Let him show his sincerity and show up to talk, and the time and place can be determined by him." ”
Ishihara Waner kicked the ball to Wei Qidong at once, because everyone knew that Wei Qidong was able to succeed repeatedly, because he came and went without a trace, and his whereabouts were uncertain. And if it is revealed, even in front of them Japanese, it is very dangerous.
"Let's talk in Tokyo, and besides, I want to go to the Imperial Palace to talk, and it would be better if I could negotiate with your emperor face to face." Wei Qidong replied quickly.
"Baga ......" Ishihara Waner felt that Wei Qidong was too presumptuous, and he simply despised the imperial power of the Japanese Empire with naked, bare, and naked.
But anger to anger, Ishihara Waner will not immediately turn his face for this matter, saying that except for the Imperial Palace, other places in Tokyo can be.
"Then go to your military headquarters." Wei Qidong replied directly to the decision.
"Okay, good, good Wei Qidong, it's really daring." Ishihara Wan'er also had to admire Wei Qidong's courage, an opponent like this had to be killed with a stick, otherwise there would be endless trouble.
"Brother Dong. I'll ......," Tang Xinyi, who had been beside her all the time and didn't make a sound, said suddenly.
"What? No......" Wei Qidong vetoed.
Tang Xinyi smiled and shook her head, "Brother Dong, you are much smarter than me, you should know it very well." How dangerous it will be for you to go by yourself, but if you go with me, it will be much safer, and the Japanese are afraid of you Wei Qidong. As long as you're okay, Japanese, don't dare touch me. ”
"But if you show up in front of them, your life could be threatened at any time. Who knows if the little devil will obey the rules and do something like a dog jumping off the wall, you can't take this risk rashly. ”
Wei Qidong was about to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Tang Xinyi raising his hand to cover his mouth.
"And, with my current ability, even if I go deep into the enemy's den, you can keep me safe outside. Little devils dare to make a move, and I'm sure you'll be able to make them pay a price they can't afford. ”
"But I'm different, if you have three long and two short, I'm afraid Tang Xinyi won't be able to do anything. The only thing that can be done is to bury ......."
After saying this, Tang Xinyi's eyes stared straight at Wei Qidong, and she couldn't refuse.
