Chapter 219: If You Don't Accept It, Get Out (Part II)

Because he was born in the navy, Sheng Haizhou understood Li Hui's thoughts, if the British fleet took the Pacific route, the lack of supply ports in the Pacific, especially in the North Pacific, would be very fatal, due to the lack of endurance of light cruisers, the British fleet would either bring supply ships to seriously drag down the speed of the formation, so that the success rate of long-distance sneak attacks would become more and more minimal, or only bring capital ships and large cruisers, and even so, when they came to Japan, the ship's condition must have reached the limit. As long as China took control of the ports that Japan could provide it with, the British fleet, which was already at the end of its power, would be vulnerable to attack.

However, for Japan, an island nation, the risk of handing over its main seaports to another country or an enemy country that has not yet formally signed a peace treaty is too great for the country to accept. Sheng Haizhou sighed secretly, and he was about to refuse with his mouth.

But before Sheng Haizhou refused, Li Hui spoke again, "In fact, this is the real armistice conditions, what I said before is just to give an explanation to the domestic people, Japan is only suffering losses on the surface, in fact, it can be compensated, in fact, what the subsequent negotiations will talk about is only how the interests should be exchanged." ”

After all, Sheng Haizhou was old, and he hadn't figured out what was going on, but Fukushima Yasumasa, who was only accompanying him, figured it out first, and couldn't help but speak out and ask, "Party Leader Li, do you mean that as long as you agree to this condition, you can achieve peace immediately?" ”

"Yes, as long as you agree, our army will suspend plans to attack Korea and Japan until the peace treaty is formally signed or the negotiations collapse. And if you refuse, we will also occupy or destroy those ports, by force, of course. In that case, Japan would no longer have room for bargaining, and unconditional surrender would be the only option. Li Hui replied with a cold face, and what he said next made Katsu Haizhou and Fukushima Yasumasa shocked, "Although Japan already has a Westernized army, but the mobilization mechanism is still very immature, and if it is sustained, it will be able to mobilize more than 300,000 troops with combat effectiveness, after the attrition of the war and the long-term blockade of the Chinese Navy, it is estimated that there are still about 200,000 left, and at least 20,000 troops are stranded in North Korea. Don't say that the gains outweigh the losses, the current China is up to me to decide, as long as I think it is worth it, even if it is worth sacrificing millions of people, there is nothing wrong with it, not to mention where can we suffer such a big loss in Japan now? ”

Listening to Li Hui's words, Sheng Haizhou's face was difficult to see, indeed, if it is a Western parliamentary country, the decision is actually made by the collective will of a group of people, so it is generally more realistic and rational, under this premise, the small country hostile to it does not need to be able to defeat the country, as long as the loss can be so large that the latter can bear it to protect itself. However, the current situation in China is different, although Li Hui did not claim the title of emperor, his power will only be greater than that of most ancient emperors, and he is completely able to force the Chinese government to make some decisions that seem to outweigh the losses by his own will......

However, Li Hui's next cruel words were regarded as nonsense by the two at first, "There is a limit to bragging, one regiment can completely annihilate nearly 30,000 people in the Third Division, and only a fool will believe it!" ”

"After seeing the generation gap, communication will be a big problem. It's not that I want to fight all the time, it's you idiots who don't realize how powerful we really are, who force us to keep fighting! Damn, at this time, I hope the devil's intelligence work is better......", Li Hui couldn't help but think a little depressed, speaking of which, the reason why the British are still stubbornly refusing to sue for peace is precisely because of the same reason, right?

Li Hui invited the Japanese mission to visit a live-fire drill of the Laizhou garrison, and as a result, several guys fainted on the spot because they could not accept the fact that they had seen it with their own eyes......

The heavy machine gun and the overwhelming firepower of Miss 75 have already shocked Sheng Haizhou and others, and the Chinese soldiers' target shooting results have completely collapsed their confidence, the weapons are so bad, and even the soldiers' marksmanship is not as good as people, so how can they win? But they didn't notice that the bullets used in Chinese rifles were pointed, and they didn't know that the accuracy advantage of the pointed-head bullets at a distance of 400 meters was enough for recruits who had been trained for months to beat the results of the veterans......

The entire Japanese mission was frightened, and if they were to engage the Japanese army head-on, the exchange ratio would be at least ten times higher if they had demonstrated the strength and weapon configuration displayed by the troops. According to this calculation, even if a regiment of Chinese troops cannot completely annihilate the Third Division, it will at least be able to defeat it, and Li Hui really did not brag, at least not bragging.

There is a huge disparity in the combat power of the army, and the population of China is far more than that of Japan, and it is still so close, it is impossible to fight at all! Sheng Haizhou and the others all felt the terrible pressure of the heavy mountain, and the principles that they originally wanted to adhere to were no longer so important, not to mention handing over the seaport to the Chinese army to manage, even if Li Hui suddenly wanted to abolish the emperor system, it is estimated that there were people who raised their hands to support it.

And Li Hui gave the Japanese mission a reassurance after Liwei, promising to block the channel with sunken ships for those ports that were not irreplaceable, and leaving only a few people to watch and prevent the cleanup, so that the total number of garrisons would be much less, and it would be equivalent to one and a half infantry regiments when it was full, and it would not have brought artillery (but it would take over some of the key fortress guns), and it would be much easier for the Japanese side to accept.

However, Katsukaishu did not have the same prestige as Ito Hirobumi in Japan, and he had not been treated well by Meiji, so he could not help but worry that Meiji would refuse to approve it, and Aritomo Yamaguchi, who was likely to be recognized as the number one war criminal, would definitely take the opportunity to slander him, which would be even more troublesome.

At this time, Fukushima Yasumasa gave him an idea that could be called rebellious, "What? Do you mean to hide from the emperor and let the Chinese army change into the uniforms of our navy, and then Li Dai Taozhuang? This—this is so crazy that if someone finds out, it will definitely be seen as a rebellion! No, it will definitely be discovered, how can it not be discovered? ”

Seeing that Katsu Haizhou was confused and couldn't make up his mind, Fukushima Yasumasa finally understood why this old man had never become a climate, it seemed that it was not just because of his position! (To be continued.) )
