Section VII Lightning XIV

The next day, under the bright sun...... The villagers of the village clearly feel that today is not in harmony with yesterday, and the patrols outside the village have been increased, and the number of soldiers at the sentry posts has also increased considerably, and the entry and exit have to be strictly checked. //、QВ⑤、CoМ\\

Two cars came along the road, the villagers stood on the side of the road and looked at the sun flags fluttering in front of the two cars with hostile eyes, the car stopped outside the door of the former enemy's command post, Okamura Ningji got down from the car, and looked up to see Zhuang Jihua and Sun Zhen and others standing at the door.

"General Zhuang, we meet again. Okamura stretched out his hand before Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua smiled and held his hand, and the situation in front of him was like the reunion of two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"It's a good clip," Zhuang Jihua looked at him, "The general doesn't seem to have rested well, and his heart is very heavy."

Okamura did not deny it with a wry smile: "Yes, I have thought a lot, the honor of the soldier, the duty of the samurai, the expectations of His Majesty, and the requirements of the soldiers, I must take into account." ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly, the two chatted casually, and then walked into the installed negotiation venue together, the venue was still as simple, the two sat down opposite each other, and the chief representatives on both sides were changed, but the others did not, Brian, Liang Sicheng and Situ Leiden still joined the negotiations.

"I believe that General Okamura has received the news that our army has recovered Tianjin, General Okamura, the entire battle in North China, your army has lost more than 400,000 troops, from the point of view of participating in the military, Japan has been defeated, and surrender is only a matter of time, I absolutely do not believe that the Japanese political bureaucrats will let all the Japanese be martyred, Okamura I hope to be the first to take this step, or, I may be temporarily misunderstood by my compatriots, but in the future they will be grateful."

Okamura Ningji was a little surprised, he thought that Zhuang Jihua would usurp the power of Tianjin, and asked him to surrender unconditionally, but he didn't expect Zhuang Jihua's words to be so gentle.

"Thank you very much General Zhuang for your understanding" Okamura Ninji was silent, and said with some emotion: "Yes, it is very uncomfortable for me personally to be able to conduct such negotiations, and the Japanese army has not yet set a precedent for the formation to lay down its arms, and this dishonorable thing will actually break in my Okamura Ninji, which makes me especially painful." ”

"General Okamura, this war was planned and instigated by them" Zhuang Jihua did not hint at sympathy at this time, but gradually became stern: "This war has caused tens of millions of casualties among our people, and the loss of wealth is as high as tens of billions of billions, to tell the truth, "Sometimes when Ji moves, I hope that the Japanese had better not surrender, so that we can kill all the Japanese, so once and for all, completely eliminate this brutal nation." ”

Okamura was shaken" He looked at Zhuang Jihua who was still comforting him with warmth and comfort just now in almost disbelief, and in a blink of an eye, he seemed to be a different person, his expression was relaxed, and he didn't care about killing the whole nation today, just like discussing whether to join a banquet held by a friend who was not so liking.

"I am a soldier, and the purpose of my enlistment is not to kill people" but to do my duty, defend my country, and defend my nation" Killing people has never been the purpose of our people, and the mission of the Chinese people is to maintain peace. Zhuang Jihua looked serious and focused, "He heard this in his previous life, and he scoffed at it at that time, but the experience of twenty years in this life, especially the seven years of the Anti-Japanese War, made him deeply understand the connotation of these words.

, "The mission of the military is peace. Okamura Ninji muttered to himself, his expression was a little dazed, for thousands of years, the education from samurai to military was to fight, to kill, to destroy life, his own, to others, mainly to others.

Sun Zhen sighed secretly beside him, don't look at Zhuang Jihua is not so invincible, but every sentence hits the key point, and before he knows it, Okamura Ningji has fallen behind, and his momentum has been completely suppressed.

Brian was surprised, Zhuang Jihua's role changed too quickly, he didn't care about killing all the Japanese just now, and in a blink of an eye, it became a care for peace, this guy is simply a chameleon, too slippery.

Situ Lei's eyes flickered, he didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to come up with such philosophical words, after he arrived at the North China Theater Command, he had contact with Zhuang Jihua twice, the first time Zhuang Jihua invited him to a meal, and talked a lot: the second time he didn't even eat, just chatted briefly" and then asked him to join the negotiations with Okamura.

Although these two contacts were brief, they left a good impression on him, without the bureaucratic ailments common to Kuomintang officials, and most importantly, he actually accepted their advice on caring for ancient Japanese architecture, which even Stilwell could hardly accept.

"General Zhuang is good," Situ Leiden interjected: "Whether it is Beiping or Tokyo, it has been inherited and preserved for thousands of years, human civilization has grown to this day, and it is the accumulation of the wisdom of countless sages, but the war is because of the stupidity of human beings, General Okamura, General Zhuang, today's choices, whether it is how to care for the growth of our civilization when human beings are stupid, or the war itself will have an immeasurable impact." ”

Okamura's heart was extremely bitter, Situ Leiden's high hat did not move him, he laid down his arms and surrendered, he could only add another pearl to the winner's crown, but Zhuang Jihua's sentence of killing all the Japanese moved him. As a member of the bushido spirit and militaristic system, Okamura Ninji was well aware of the madness of Japanese soldiers,

The madness of the Japanese military could well lead the entire nation to destruction. Okamura's mind couldn't help but think of the soldiers in the countryside that he saw in the city of Beiping, some of these soldiers were only 13 or 4 years old, and some of them had already crossed fifty, what if the Allies landed in Japan? What kind of scene would it present, Okamura Ninji was creepy.

"As a soldier, I agree with General Zhuang's judgment that Japan's defeat will not be avoided. Okamura Ninji's tone was very heavy, but it also contained a hint of stubbornness: "However, I must get some tools to convince my men and make them agree to lay down their weapons." ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't speak, just made a simple gesture, the meaning is very clear, you can mention it, let's discuss. Okamura Ninji's Adam's apple beetle moved, as if swallowing saliva.

"First of all, your army must protect the lives and safety of our officers and soldiers who laid down their arms in accordance with the Geneva Treaty: second, your country must ensure that when bombing Japan, it must avoid bombing the Imperial Palace and the Japanese monuments that we have marked; third, it must ensure the safety of the lives of Japanese nationals in the city:,"

Okamura was thinking about it, and he was a little at a loss about the few things he had imagined in the city, and he didn't know whether to bring them up or not. Fukushima was aware of Okamura's mood fluctuations, and when he saw that his fellow villagers were hesitating, he immediately interjected with some anxiety: "Fourth, my expatriates scattered throughout North China must be sent to Beiping to ensure their safety: fifth, officers can keep their katanas; sixth, after the war, we must not detain my captured officers and soldiers for any reason, and we must repatriate them back as soon as possible; seventh, among the officers and soldiers who have laid down their arms, they must no longer be happy to prosecute war criminals." ”

When Zhuang Jihua heard this, he replied after a little thought: "Except for Article 7, I can promise everything else." War has rules of war, and that rule is the Geneva Conventions. The battlefield is the place where the military is used, and the atrocities against civilians are a crime, and we will never condone criminals. ”

Zhuang Jihua's tone was calm but very resolute, Okamura Ningji was slightly stunned, and then he protested: "There will inevitably be derailments in the war, my subordinates all act according to my orders, if there is anything wrong, it should be borne by me, the commander." ”

"Whose crime belongs to whom" Zhuang Jihua did not give in: "If it is a crime, we must also investigate it." ”

In the face of Zhuang Jihua's tough attitude, Okamura Ningji's face turned pale, and there was a beast-like move in his heart, he wanted to shoot the case, and the Buddha sleeved away, but reason made him not like this, the person opposite looked very gentle, in fact, he was a fierce guy, he wanted to kill all the Japanese, it was no joke, as long as he seized the opportunity, he would definitely do this, the Chinese city did this, no, there were Soviet Russians, Americans.

"We make sure they get a fair trial?" Ryoku Okamura Ninji is a weak colleague.

"Of course, we are not," Zhuang Jihua replied without hesitation, "I invited Professor Liang Sicheng and President Situ Leiden to the negotiation site today, that is, to ask them to testify, they are scholars, much more backbone than Japanese scholars, and if we do not abide by the results of the negotiations, they will expose us all over the world." ”

Zhuang Jihua was full of confidence, Okamura's momentum was suppressed even lower, Okamura Ningji did not speak, and was measuring in his heart.

Okamura was struggling in pain, Zhuang Jihua looked at him silently, for the safety of His Majesty and the survival of the Yamato nation, I have taken this charge on my shoulders.

Liangjiu Okamura Ningji resolutely raised his head and looked at Zhuang Jihua with a sad expression: "Okay, but I want to make sure in advance that those targets should be cared for." ”

"That's not my job, I don't know much about Japan, Professor Liang, President Stuart Leiden, they are very familiar with Japan, these tools talk, after the talk, we will confirm." ”

That's it, Brian doesn't seem to have reacted yet, even if Zhuang Jihua has the upper hand, but Okamura Ninji still gives him a very tough impression. Before he could wake up, Zhuang Jihua patted him on the shoulder, pulled him and Bie Zhen aside, and the three of them drank leisurely on the side.

Okamura Ningji desperately searched for the Japanese places of interest recorded in his mind, and the darkness also wanted to mix some si goods, but he soon found that Liang Sicheng's level of familiarity with Japan was stronger than him, from Kyoto to Tokyo to Osaka, what historical sites there are in those areas, he knows everything well, and can accurately point out what ancient buildings there are, which are of this year's generation, what characteristics they have, what is the value, etc., Okamura Ningji's si goods can't be inserted at all.
