Otomo Goro, who was discouraged by a dismount, was not discouraged, on the contrary, in his opinion, Shandong's battle was actually similar to the sword mountain gun forest in the green forest and grass. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info is not confident enough, using this kind of little trick to support the scene, the more so, the more calm he is.

The real problem was with his attachés, who were not really diplomats and lacked the basic qualities of diplomats. When he came to the reception arranged by Shandong, a Fusang officer suddenly asked, "Where is the daughter who serves us?" I heard that there are enough beauties in Shandong, and I have long wanted to see them. ”

"Daughter? It's easy, just give money. How much money are you prepared to pay? "The tall Tiele people obviously don't have a good impression of this Ganfusang person, his tone is cold, and his attitude is extremely arrogant." Dashuai didn't give us this part of the expenses, and if he wanted to find a woman, he paid for it himself. ”

"Oh? Then let's see, what price do you Tiele women offer? But in my opinion, they are worthless. A few years ago in the northeast of this country, I slept with a dozen Tiele women. Especially in the Fort Arthur, which includes a damn marquis's daughter, but so what? When I was done, I just threw her a few cigarettes, and she said thank you. When the soldiers of the empire entered the city, all the women of Tiele in the city had to serve the soldiers of the empire, and it was free. There are rumors that a royal family of Tiele is in this city and does not know her ......"

A sudden wind arose, and the ranks of the Fuso Mission were rushed away, and the proud military attache was entangled with the figure of the tall Tiele officer. Elbow strikes, knee strikes, Officer Tiele used all heavy hands, without the slightest consideration for his subordinates.

Both of them are soldiers, and their fighting styles are simple and effective fighting techniques in the army, and the officers of Fuso are also proficient in martial arts, but they have not suffered. When the two developed into hand-to-hand combat, the judo he mastered was more effective. However, judging from the overall situation, the soldiers of the Lu army had a company, and the Fusang side had only 30 people in total, and there were no weapons. This determines that in this fight, Fuso is destined to be the losing side.

"We are diplomats, enjoy preferential diplomatic treatment......" Seeing a few soldiers join the battle group, the military attache obviously suffered a loss, and other soldiers who wanted to help were surrounded by more Lu soldiers. With the butts and whips wielding, several Fuso soldiers fell to the ground. Goro Otomo shouted loudly, hoping to end the fight.

But the tall officer of Tieler, frenzied by the blood on his face, cursed angrily in Tieler, and at the same time kicked his heavy leather boots at the opponent who had already been defeated. It wasn't until the troublesome Fuso military attache was already out of breath and out of breath that he spat on the ground

"Hell, diplomatic favors! Not hanging you all is already the greatest privilege. Arrest them all and send them to prison. That's where they belong. Something went wrong, I'm responsible! ”

These soldiers obeyed the orders of the commander-in-chief, and the Fuso mission could only choose to give in in front of hundreds of mini rifles.

As a result, instead of staying in the guest house, a group of diplomats were sent to the Shandong Provincial Model Prison, where they were held on death row due to the special care of Officer Tiele. There were no other prisoners around, just looking at the dark red banto's blood stains on the walls and the dark aisles.

Ren is you shouting out your throat, here, it doesn't work. Along with the wind, you can even hear bursts of terrible screams, which makes people can't help but wonder what is going on.

Most of the military attachés were wounded, several were seriously injured, and when they arrived in the cells, they could not help but shout that they needed doctors and medicines. But whether they were in Chinese or Fusang, they didn't get any response, as if they were locked up here, even if they completed their mission, no one cared about anything else.

With no sunlight and no watch confiscated, time became a vague concept for the prisoners. At the beginning, the people in the diplomatic team did not worry about anything, and they did not dare to do anything to them when they wanted to come to Shandong, and they would be released in a short time. They exchanged heads and ears, discussing what kind of protest to Shandong should make about this matter after they went out, and how much Shandong would need to pay for this fist.

Goro Otomo himself was in a cell, and he sat cross-legged on the bed, motionless, like a monk. The others looked at it a few times and still went to discuss their own business. Gradually, however, their mouths became drier and their stomachs began to feel hungry, and some people began to walk agitated around the cells, shaking the cell door with their hands.

"Food! We needed food, and water! ”

One cry after another echoed through the cell, and they were answered by an unchanging darkness and deathly silence. No matter how many people shouted or shook the fence, there was no response.

The voice of the discussion gradually became quieter, and even if no one said soft words, the pessimistic mood, like a virus, quietly spread in the cell. The self-confidence and arrogance when he first arrived in Shandong are disappearing little by little, and the empire will inevitably win this war, which of course will not be a problem, but whether he can see victory is a big problem.

Shandong didn't dare to kill the envoys openly, but if Zhao Guanhou was mad and secretly executed his own people, no matter what form of punishment was inflicted on him afterwards, the lives of his own people were destined to be impossible to return. After all, Zhao Guanhou was an official who stayed in the former Jin era until the Gonghe, and the former Jin had committed evil acts of abusing diplomatic envoys, who can guarantee that he would not do the same.

In addition, some people began to wonder if Officer Tiele would simply not report the whereabouts of his own people, and use this secret detention method to turn his people into mysterious missing people. After all, the investigation team of the empire has mysteriously disappeared in Shandong, and it is not impossible that another disappearance will occur.

I don't know how long it has been, no one has spoken, everyone is listening quietly in the cell, some people are counting the passage of time with their hands according to their pulses, others have gloomy faces, each thinking about their own affairs.

Someone suddenly exclaimed, and before his companion could scold, he preemptively said, "Bone! Over here...... There are bones! ”

To prove that he was not lying, he held up what he had accidentally touched, and it was dark in the cell, and the matches on these people were confiscated, so they had to grope for it. Someone shouted, "It should be a leg bone, and I can assure you that it belongs to a human being." ”

The cell became even quieter. The former owner of the room, turned into a pile of bones, God knows when this happened, and what kind of identity? Perhaps they were just like themselves, locked in a cell and left unattended, starving to death silently, and finally turned into a pile of bones.

Except for a small number of attendant military attachés, most of them are civilians and businessmen in the army, and the courage of these people cannot be compared with the front-line death squads. The thought that his future fate could also be this pile of white bones made his mood even more depressed. No one blamed the provocative officer, but again, no one paid attention to his injuries.

Footsteps suddenly sounded, the sound of military boots on the stone slabs, accompanied by the sound of keys clashing. This ordinary voice lifted the spirit of the Fuso envoy. As long as the other party can think of his own existence, it is a hope.

The dim light stopped at the door of Goro Otomo's cell, followed by the man's hoarse voice, "Goro Otomo is like this?" The handsome man wants to see you! ”

Throughout, he ignored the protests or rebukes of other diplomats, who seemed to him to be non-existent. Goro Otomo opened his eyes, moved his limbs, and laughed twice, "You guys came sooner than I thought." In fact, our ability to endure hunger is far beyond your imagination. Even if we don't eat or drink for a few more hours, we can persevere. ”

When he walked out of prison, he found that it was already evening, and it had only been ten hours since he was put into prison. Normally, in such a short period of time, they would not be so hungry that they could not bear it. The main reason is the dark environment and the loss of concept of time, which makes people restless, and even the body's functional reactions are greatly abnormal.

Zhao Guanhou's attitude was very easy-going, and after meeting, he beckoned Dayou to sit down, and did not mention that he was arrested, and Dayou never mentioned it. The two seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, but the arrest did not happen.

Just like the provocation of the Fuso officers, the envoys' trip to prison was actually the first round of mutual temptation. Each other gave each other a dismissal, hoping to gain more initiative in the next negotiations.

It seems that Otomo Goro's side has suffered a loss, but from another point of view, after all, it was Otomo Goro who forced out the supreme commander of Shandong, which can be seen as Fuso regaining half of the upper hand. It is actually unclear who will be the real winner in this round.

"Mr. Otomo, we first met outside the Kansai, when you were your country's intelligence officer. I thought that with your talent, you would have already soared, but I didn't expect that you are still working as an intelligence staff officer, which is really a bit condescending. In your army, it has always attached importance to operational staff officers, and intelligence staff officers can only be regarded as the second echelon, and in terms of future promotions, they will inevitably be inferior to the former. Judging from your resume, if you serve as a combat staff officer, you will certainly have a more ambitious future, although as an opposing party, I also feel sorry for Mr. Otomo. ”

"The crown is polite, farewell that day, I miss it very much, I see it again today, the style of the crown is still the same, and I am aging. Personally, holding a position is nothing more than the price that you have to pay in order to earn a salary. In fact, intelligence staff officers are much more idle than operational staff officers, and they have a lot of time to be lazy, and they do not have to bear the responsibility for the failure of the operation. If you have the opportunity to meet His Excellency Kamio, do not say nice things about me in front of him. If I were to be transferred to the post of operational staff officer, it would be really distressing. ”

Otomo snorted, and then asked unceremoniously: "Your country's habit has always been to talk about things at the wine table. I don't know, where is the banquet today? ”

"Otomo-kun is very fast, come here, prepare the table!"

"Contemptible people have always been supporters of Chinese cuisine, and Guanshuai's food is much better than the food in the army, and when there is food to enjoy, I will never be polite."

Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "Dayoujun, the food in the army, everyone is almost the same, marching and fighting, how can the food be compared with the family?" Even if it's me, I only bring an exclusive chef when I march, but it's much worse than the Shuaifu. So I don't understand, if your country doesn't eat a good meal, you have to come to Shandong to eat military rations, this is inevitably asking for guilt, right? ”

"I can't say that, we really have good intentions when we go on this expedition. The marshal must have known that the treaty of neutrality signed between your government and China does not intervene in the war between Fuso and Prussia. The purpose of our expedition this time is to fight for the living space of the yellow race. In the northeastern part of your country, we have successfully defeated the Tiele people and achieved a higher status for the yellow people in the international community. This time, we will continue to write the legend again, uproot Prussia, and in the future, the yellow race will be on a par with the white race in the international arena, and the yellow race will no longer be the sick man of East Asia, and Tessie will no longer dare to try to turn Asia into a colony. No Ctessi would dare to call us yellow-skinned monkeys, and even I was ready to sacrifice for this great purpose. When life can be sacrificed, what can be counted if you suffer a little? ”

The banquet was prepared quickly, and there were only two people at the whole table, and there were no accompanying guests. Otomo asked, "What about the other officials in Shandong?" Even if the chief of civil affairs is not there, the chief of finance, justice, etc., should also appear? Fuso is a poor country, and it is believed that wasting food is the greatest crime, and if we throw away so many delicacies, we will go to hell after death, right? ”

"On the contrary to Fusang, China is a country with a lot of land and resources, we have a lot of people, we have a lot of production, and we have lost things from the dead. Such a banquet, even if we look at it and then pour it out, we can afford such a price, which is nothing. It doesn't matter if those people come or not, in the end, the only person in Shandong who makes the decision can only be me, and there is no point in talking to them. The military situation is urgent, and I don't have much time to waste in the meeting, if it weren't for the public memorial for the fallen soldiers, I would still be in the Qingdao Fortress. So let's use our Shandong model and decide in a word. After everyone finished eating and talking, I still have to go to Qingdao, and Otomo-kun can take a ride with me at that time. ”

"Since the landing of our army at Longkou, your army has launched a stubborn resistance, fighting with the strong with weak forces, fighting to the last soldier, and not giving up the position. As a warrior, the righteousness of your army has been exhausted. Even from the opposing point of view, the bravery of your army is also admired by our generation. But...... This kind of killing and sacrifice is meaningless, these excellent warriors should be awarded martial arts on other battlefields, not for useless goals. ”

Otomo suddenly put down his wine glass, "Guanshuai, give up." As for Qingdao and Prussia's interests in China, our army is determined to win, and you will definitely lose this battle. I believe that with your eyes, you can also recognize this. Your government has abandoned you, and it is impossible for a province to defeat a country alone. It's time to choose a new partner, for the future of Shandong and the safety of the people, please surrender! (To be continued.) )
