519 Military Order
With regard to double standards, they are prevalent all over the world and are not unique. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Whether it was the First Sino-Japanese War or the Russo-Japanese War later, when the Japanese had the upper hand, the Japanese performed a good interpretation of what it means to be "a big fist is reasonable".
But when Lu Zhengxiang put forward similar conditions to Hara Kei and Tanaka Yoshiichi, Hara Kei and Tanaka Yoshiichi's performance was unacceptable.
So what?
At the beginning, both the negotiators of the Qing Empire and the Russian Empire told the Japanese that the Japanese conditions were unacceptable, but in the end, both the Qing Empire and the Russian Empire had to recognize the conditions put forward by the Japanese.
Even if you pinch your nose, you have to admit it.
The situation is stronger than people, people are under the eaves, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat......
That's what it means.
There was no progress in the negotiations on the first day, and although Yuan Jing was the prime minister, he did not dare to agree to Lan Fang's conditions easily, otherwise Yuan Jing would have to apologize for his crimes.
So the negotiations were temporarily suspended, and Yuan Jing would not give Lan Fang an answer until he asked the emperor for instructions.
That night, Lu Zhengxiang arranged for Yuan Jing and Tanaka Yoshiichi to stay at the State Guesthouse in Coconut City, and immediately boarded a plane and flew directly to Penglai Island.
Right next to the Black Swan Castle, a tall and sturdy building complex has risen from the ground, the name of this place is the Eagle's Nest, which is where Qin Zhiyuan is currently working.
The Black Swan Castle is good, Qin Zhiyuan is also used to working in the Black Swan Castle, but because of Julie and Xiao Qinde, it is a little inconvenient after all.
So when the Eagle's Nest was completed, Qin Zhiyuan moved the office to the Eagle's Nest.
Compared with the Black Swan Castle, the Eagle's Nest is a huge building complex, the three-story main building of Qin Zhiyuan's office occupies the central position, and there are various functional buildings such as the General Staff Department, the Communications Department, the Operations Command Room, the Conference Hall, etc., and there is a battalion of troops responsible for the security here, and there is also an armored unit stationed nearby, once something happens, you can reach the Eagle's Nest within ten minutes.
In the study room on the second floor of the main building, Lu Zhengxiang saw Qin Zhiyuan.
"Just now, Hara Kei and Tanaka Yoshiichi visited British Ambassador Scott James and US Ambassador Greenton Augustine respectively, and the specific content of the conversation is not clear, and no information has been transmitted for the time being." Gao Hongshi is reporting to Qin Zhiyuan.
"Hehe, Hara Kei and Tanaka Yoshiichi are looking for reinforcements, how long will it take for Bastian to come over?" Qin Zhiyuan wasn't too worried, wasn't he just looking for reinforcements, and Lan Fang also had them.
Since Yuan Jing and Tanaka Yoshiichi arrived in Coconut City, the intelligence department under Gao Hongshi has been in full swing, including Yuan Jing and Tanaka Yoshiichi, the Japanese delegation has been closely monitored by Lan Fang's agents, no matter what actions Yuan Jing and Tanaka Yoshiichi do, they can't escape Lan Fang's surveillance.
Although Lanfang's agents are powerful, there are always some places that cannot be penetrated, such as the British and American embassies in Lanfang, where there is no way to plant nails, and limited by the current technical conditions, it is not easy to eavesdrop.
France has also declared war on Japan, and in the current Northern Expeditionary Fleet, there are French warships, and now that the Japanese have sued for peace, the French will definitely send representatives to participate in the negotiations.
After getting the news that Yuan Jing and Tanaka Yoshiichi had arrived in Coconut City, Bastian originally wanted to take a plane to Lanfang, but he didn't expect Yuan Jing and Tanaka Yoshiichi to start busy with business without even drinking saliva, so that Bastian didn't catch up with tonight's negotiations.
After reporting the matter, Gao Hongshi was about to retire, there was a knock on the door, Gao Hongshi went to open the door and took a document from the staff officer.
After a quick glance, Gao Hongshi's voice was a little disdainful: "The Republic of China has declared war on Japan!" ”
"War declared?" Lu Zhengxiang, who was sitting next to him, had a surprised expression.
"Declaration of war...... Hehe. Qin Zhiyuan was not surprised at all.
The pro-Japanese forces in the Republic of China are indeed quite powerful, but now even a fool can see that the Japanese are going to fail, and if they do not declare war now, then the Republic of China will not get anything, and even Japan's privileges in the Kanto region of the Republic of China may be transferred to Lan Fang, which is unacceptable to those "elites" of the Republic of China.
Now that the war is declared, maybe it is indeed a little unsightly on the face, and there is a suspicion of taking advantage of Lanfang, but compared to the national interest, the face is nothing.
"In this way, Cao Rulin will be added to the negotiations tomorrow." Lu Zhengxiang's expression was indeed a little happy.
Cao Rulin, this is the ambassador of the Republic of China to Lanfang.
Because of the emergence of the Foreign Legion, the history of the Republic of China finally reached a turning point in 1919, because of the signing of the "Paris Peace Treaty", the May Fourth Movement also happened, but the target was not those diplomats who signed the contract, but focused on the interference of the Eastern and Western powers in the Republic of China.
The May Fourth Movement was actually a manifestation of the awakening of national consciousness, whether there was a Paris Peace Treaty or not, the May Fourth Movement would happen, and the Chinese people's decades-long feelings of being oppressed by the Eastern and Western powers always needed an opportunity to release.
"Minister Lu, you are now Lanfang's foreign minister......" Gao Hongshi reminded him.
"Hahahaha...... I know, I know, Director Gao rest assured, I will never favor the Republic of China and cause Lan Fang's interests to be damaged. Lu Zhengxiang swore an oath.
Lu Zhengxiang still has feelings for the Republic of China, after all, before joining Lan Fang, Lu Zhengxiang has been working for the Republic of China, and this feeling and sense of belonging are not something that can be erased in just one year of serving Lan Fang.
Gao Hongshi didn't speak, just pointed to his eyes, saying that he would keep staring at Lu Zhengxiang, and then retired.
“…… On the whole, the bottom line of the Japanese negotiations seems to be Yingzhou and the Penghu Islands, and the Japanese do not seem to want to involve the ownership of other regions. After reporting on today's negotiation process, Lu Zhengxiang attached his conclusions at the end.
"The question now is not whether the Japanese want to or not, no matter what the Japanese think, the leading power of the negotiations is now in our hands, and as long as our front-line troops maintain an offensive posture, the Japanese will have to face this problem squarely sooner or later." Qin Zhiyuan was not in a hurry, as the Lanfang army progressed, the Japanese would have less and less room to maneuver.
"Look at this ......," Qin Zhiyuan picked up a document on the desk in front of him and handed it to Lu Zhengxiang.
After a hasty browsing, Lu Zhengxiang was overjoyed: "Hahaha...... General Chan landed in Hokkaido, General Jang captured Bukseong, and General Yoo marched to Goryeo...... It's great that if this continues, at most, for a week, our conditions will continue to be revised. ”
Just this morning, Chen Kangjian sent troops to land in Hokkaido, and by 6 o'clock in the evening, Chen Kangjian sent two divisions to Hokkaido, and these troops will sweep Hokkaido from north to south with the cooperation of fighters from the northern Xinjiang region.
If Chen Kangjian occupies the entire territory of Hokkaido, then Lan Fang will be able to build the airfield to Hokkaido, and the bombers taking off from the Hokkaido airfield will be able to directly attack Tokyo, which will pose a great threat to Tokyo.
Also this morning, Zhang Tianshou captured Beishi.
Beishi is also the "Taipei" of another time and space, and in this world, since there is no Taiwan at all, there can be no Taipei City.
Like the original history, Beishi was the ruling center of the Japanese colonial government in Yingzhou, and the capture of Beishi also marked the collapse of Japan's Yingzhou ruling order, and it can be said that the occupation of the entire territory of Beishi is just around the corner.
The fire in Lushun had not yet been extinguished, and Liu Zizheng couldn't bear it, so he sent Xu Sheng to lead the first division of the Foreign Legion to stay in Lushun to monitor, and he himself entered Goryeo with the rest of the troops, and also began to sweep away the Japanese in Goryeo.
Staying in Lushun with Xu Sheng were Zhang Yuting's two divisions.
After Zhang Yuting and Liu Zizheng met, they immediately dispatched troops to help in the war.
This is also the main reason for the government of the Republic of China to declare war on Japan, regardless of whether the government of the Republic of China declares war or not, Zhang Yuting's troops have already appeared on the battlefield, and it has become a fait accompli.
Since this is the case, it is better to push the boat with the current.
Although Liu Zizheng's troops had a large number of tanks, the strategy against Goryeo was not smooth.
The Japanese knew that real swords and guns could not defeat Lan Fang's army, so they had other bad ideas.
The northern part of Goryeo is a mountainous terrain, and the government of the previous Goryeo dynasty built the "Guanma Road" from Pyongyang to Shengjing to enhance transportation.
After the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing Empire lost its suzerainty over Goryeo, and Japan became the de facto ruler of Goryeo.
After the annexation of Goryeo, the Japanese widened and strengthened the original "Guanma Avenue" to make it more convenient for traffic and effectively strengthen the connection between Goryeo and Liaodong.
This "Guanma Avenue", along the way is full of lofty mountains, treacherous mountain roads, rugged terrain, is the only passage from Liaodong to Goryeo.
After discovering that the "Vladivostok Coalition Army" had begun to attack Goryeo, the Japanese wreaked havoc on the Guanma Avenue, especially in the key areas where the terrain was dangerous, and many sections of the road had become impassable, or even completely destroyed.
In fact, there is a way not to take the Guanma Avenue, as long as you take Xie Rundong's fleet, you can take a shortcut from the sea to attack the back of the Japanese.
However, Xie Rundong still has his own tasks to carry out, and after the bombing of Lushun, he has now led his troops to Tokyo, and the attack from the sea can only be temporarily grounded.
"There is no need to revise the conditions, just talk to the Japanese about the current conditions, but all the conditions are not allowed to shrink, and the Japanese must not be given a chance to breathe, and they must be beaten to death with a stick." Qin Zhiyuan did a great job.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, if we don't peel off the skin of the Japanese this time, I, Lu Zhengxiang, am willing to be dealt with by military law." Lu Zhengxiang swore an oath.
This is the rhythm of the "military order"!
