Commander Chiang's special envoy, Liu Zhiguo, had already drunk the seventh cup of tea in front of him. Just this morning, he received a telegram from Commander Chiang himself, no matter what method he used to get him to quickly complete this joint meeting.

However, the bottom line of the Nationalist Government has long been told to the Japanese, and they have not replied to them until now, and it does not matter whether the Japanese agree or disagree.

Just when Liu Zhiguo had already grabbed the room, and even wanted to find the guards to ask for a gun to fight the Japanese, he saw the door of the conference room open again, and Tu Feiyuan, the negotiator of the Japanese army, arrived in the conference room.

Tu Fei originally smiled and explained to Liu Zhiguo that he had been busy with official business in the past few days and had lazy off Mr. Liu Zhiguo, but now that the matter is finally over, he naturally came to meet Liu Zhiguo.

"We fully agree, in principle, to the request of the Nationalist Government for peace talks, and we have already sent the terms of the negotiations to China, but this delivery has been delayed for a long time.

We also generally agree with the terms of the cease-fire proposed by your side, but there are still some differences on the issue of war compensation, and we believe that the war was provoked by you.

Therefore, when we withdraw from the army, we hope to receive your 100 million yuan in war reparations. If you agree, an armistice will be signed immediately, and all Japanese troops will immediately withdraw beyond the Great Wall. If you don't, your identity will no longer be protected. ”

As soon as Tu Feiyuan's words spoke, two soldiers with loaded guns immediately stood on Liu Zhiguo's left and right, looking at the frame, and the slightest resistance meant that Liu Zhiguo's blood would be cheapened by five steps.

It's a pity that Tu Feiyuan was wrong, Liu Zhiguo is a good literati, but he is not a soft bone, the most important thing is that before Liu Zhiguo entered the Nanjing Staff Mansion, he actually served as a soldier, and even mixed with gangs, he has seen a lot of scenes of this kind of threat.

Tu Fei originally thought that Liu Zhiguo, a literati, must be very good at fooling, so he wanted to deceive him while he didn't know the progress of the war.

Although he and Liu Zhiguo do not have any great skills, their eyesight is not bad, and seeing that the meaning of the Tufeiyuan peace talks is very clear, they are obviously under strong pressure from the country.

In this way, he will not give Japan 100 million yuan in vain, and besides, he knows better than anyone else about the finances of the current Nationalist Government.

The main reason is that the Nationalist Government has no money to spare at all, and all the tax revenue from last year was used for the Anti-Japanese War in Shanghai and the suppression of bandits in the south at the beginning of this year.

Today's Great Wall War of Resistance is all borrowed from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols, where did they get the war reparations.

And Tu Feiyuan seemed to be really in a hurry to sign an agreement, and after grinding his teeth with Liu Zhiguo for an hour, he found that Liu Zhiguo had no intention of increasing the bargaining chips in the peace talks at all.

He simply signed an armistice agreement with Liu Han on the original terms, and as soon as the agreement was signed, Tu Feiyuan even used the radio of the Kwantung Army to help Liu Zhiguo send the news of the signing of the armistice agreement back to Beiping.

Then both parties can wait for the official representative to come and sign and seal it to officially take effect.

That is, on the night after signing, when Liu Zhiguo was warmly received by the Kwantung Army, when Liu Zhiguo, who was drunk, finally returned to the mansion where he lived, his entourage quietly came over and sent him a secret report.

And reported to him the many earth-shattering changes that took place in the Northeast during this day.

When he opened the secret letter, it turned out to be a telegram sent by Commander Chiang himself praising him for successfully signing the armistice agreement.

Then he casually put the telegram into his bosom, and as soon as he heard the latest news of the Great Wall War of Resistance that his entourage got today.

"Oh, I said that this old boy Tufeiyuan signed an armistice agreement so happily today, it turned out that yesterday they were bombed by unknown bandits in the munitions base outside Chengde."

"And that's not all, just this afternoon, while you were still drinking tea in the conference room of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese army in the direction of Gubeikou was attacked by thousands of horse bandits.

As a result, an integrated wing was annihilated, a heavy artillery brigade was annihilated, and several transport camps were shelled.

Not only that, but this afternoon, the city of Chengde was besieged by nearly 10,000 bandits. Although it has not yet been invaded by bandits, there are only 1,000 Japanese troops in Chengde City.

If the bandits attack regardless of casualties, they may capture the city of Chengde sooner or later. Therefore, most of the Japanese troops who were attacking Xifengkou and Gubeikou had returned to defense.

It can be said that the current siege of the Great Wall has been relieved for the time being.

And the most strange thing is that all parts of the Northeast are plagued by bandits today, whether it is Liaoning or Heilongjiang, almost the entire territory is full of bandits.

The roads were mined, the railways were stripped of several sections of tracks, and that's not counting the fact that the cantonment points, airfields, and oil depots were attacked by a large number of armed men.

Now all the Japanese troops attacking Pingjin, Hebei, and Mongolia have received orders to retreat, and are urgently trying to extinguish the bandits in the northeastern provinces. ”

It turned out that he knew Japanese, and he stayed outside the Kwantung Army headquarters for a day today, and the other soldiers didn't know that he was Liu Zhiguo's entourage, and they thought he was a new headquarters staff.

Therefore, many heralds did not shy away from him, and while quickly delivering orders at the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, they had to respond to a few of his questions, and as a result, in one afternoon, he compiled these miscellaneous information into useful information.

"Is this true?" Seeing that the bandits in the northeast were so powerful, Liu Zhiguo couldn't believe the battle situation reported by his entourage. After seeing the true assurances of the entourage.

Liu Zhiguo asked loudly: "In this case, such a good opportunity, did the defenders of the Great Wall ever pursue the Japanese army?" ”

"That's not true, it seems that Commander Chiang gave a death order, only to defend on the spot and not to pursue, and after you sent the agreement to Commander Chiang.

Commander Chiang has ordered Minister He to take full authority to deal with the formal signing of an armistice agreement with Wu Teng Xinyi. The attendant explained again.

"Alas, the Kwantung Army has lost its ammunition supply and is simply unable to attack again, and Japan's domestic ammunition supply will not reach China for a week at the earliest.

With this week's time, and with the internal and external efforts of these tens of thousands of bandits, we are fully capable of defeating the Japanese army in Northeast China in one fell swoop, and perhaps we can even take the opportunity to recover the entire Northeast and drive the Japanese back to their hometowns. Liu Zhiguo said regretfully.

"In fact, many generals had already asked Commander-in-Chief Chiang in Nanchang for war in the afternoon, but Commander-in-Chief Chiang said that if you want to go outside, you must first settle inside, and now that it has reached a critical time to suppress bandits, the government must not give up halfway.

And even if we use this week's opportunity to temporarily defeat the Japanese army, when the Japanese army's arms arrive, we still have to let the Japanese defeat them.

Instead of making trouble at that time, it is better to accept it now when it is good, and everyone takes the Great Wall as the boundary. Let's talk about it for a few years.

When we have exterminated the banditry in the south, and lived a stable life for a few more years, and developed slowly for a few years, it will not be too late for us to turn around and deal with the Japanese again.

Commander Jiang said that Japan has few small people and fewer resources, and the number of our Chinese is several times that of Japan.

As long as we are given a few years to develop well, we will soon be able to surpass Japan's in an all-round way. As the so-called gentleman takes revenge for ten years, isn't it too late? The entourage was relaying Commander Chiang's words.

"Alas, why do I always feel that something is wrong when I listen to Commander Jiang's words? By the way, this is a battle to the death between countries, can we not fight with the Japanese because our strength is not as good as Japan?

Originally, it was not as good as others, and I didn't dare to love people hard, so I couldn't beat others, and I didn't grasp the ready-made opportunities in front of me, so I was afraid that there would be no store in this village.

Who knows what will happen to China in the future. Besides, the Japanese are not stupid, will they obediently watch our steady development? Liu Zhiguo sat on the sofa in despair and was silent for a long time.

At this time, in the office of the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Wu Teng Nobuyoshi and Dohihara were looking at the map while discussing the form in front of them.

"Why are there so many bandits? Didn't we wipe out these bandits in the past two years? Why are there so many of them all of a sudden today? Wu Teng Xinyi asked.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we have underestimated the enemy, and these bandits have either been driven to the border between the Mongols and the Russians. or it was thrown into the hands of Ma Zhanshan in Heilongjiang.

I thought that after occupying the Great Wall, I would continue to clean up the bandits in Heilongjiang, but who knew that they secretly copied our back road and even blew up our general warehouse.

Now the materials stored in various places are only enough for our defense, and they are not enough to support us to continue the offensive, and the emperor has called us several times to prevent us from continuing to expand the results of the war.

Now is not the time to occupy North China, and it seems that His Majesty the Emperor has guessed correctly, and if the bandits in the Northeast are not eliminated, we should never want to go south with confidence. Tsuchihara explained.

Seeing that Wu Teng Xinyi didn't speak, he only continued: "Your Excellency Commander, please rest assured that the officers and soldiers on the front line of the Great Wall are on their way back, and I believe that the siege of bandits in various places will be lifted soon.

Moreover, after this incident, I will once again set up a special team to suppress bandits, and I will definitely sweep away all bandits of scale in the northeast within a year.

Including Ma Zhanshan in Heilongjiang are all on the list of clearances, and it will take another two years to clear out the bandits in the northeast.

However, this time the bandits in the northeast are the quietest in Jilin, which is really incredible, why can't the provinces and cities in the northeast hear about the bandits in Jilin?

And I also found a strange thing, that is, the famous bandits near Liaoning and Heilongjiang did not enter Jilin to commit crimes. What does this mean? ”

"This shows that there are people in Jilin who are afraid of these bandits, and it is very likely that there is a real bandit den!" Wu Teng Xinyi said affirmatively.

"Hey, that's what I judged, and in that case, I immediately ordered the intelligence officers to focus on the Jilin territory. I believe that there will be a conclusion soon. Tu Feiyuan said.

"No matter what the outcome, the bandits in the Northeast must be dealt with, they have not only caused us huge losses this time, they have directly prevented us from taking the opportunity to occupy North China's strategic purpose.

Without them making trouble, maybe we would have appeared outside the city of Beiping City by now. It's a pity that I missed this opportunity, and I'm afraid that if I want to point to Pingjin again, it will be three or five years later. Wu Teng Xinyi said regretfully.
