Chen Zikun was not surprised when he learned of the intention of the King of Ryu, the US army won successive battles in the Pacific theater, the commander of the Allied forces, General MacArthur, was about to recover the Philippines, and the Japanese were like grasshoppers after autumn, jumping for a few days.

But what he feels quite strange is that since the 918 incident, the Sino-Japanese war has lasted for more than ten years, which can be described as a sea of blood feuds.

He still received the king of the royal ryu very politely, and the two countries did not cut off the troops, and the two sides had a lot of private exchanges, each with its own needs, so it was natural to treat each other politely.

In the living room, the four-leaf ceiling fan was rotating slowly, the air was humid and stuffy, Chen Zikun said: "Mr. Yu, this trip to Chongqing must not be your original intention." ”

King Ryū said: "Your Excellency, it is my duty and honor to serve the empire. ”

Chen Zikun said: "I have the impression that you are a smart person, why did you do stupid things, don't you think it's too late for peace talks at this time?" ”

A confident smile appeared on the face of the King of Ryu: "It is said that Your Excellency is wise, but I don't think it is enough." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

"How much do you know about the current situation?"

"Hehe, it's basically all in my hands." This is not Chen Zikun's bragging, he has access to the highest level of intelligence in China and the United States, not the same as ordinary people who can only get information from newspapers and radio.

King Ryu sneered: "Yes, then your Excellency knows that Operation No. 1 still won a great victory even though you got the information in advance, the imperial army conquered Zhengzhou and Changsha, destroyed the US military airfield in Jiangxi, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops fled in despair, and with such combat effectiveness, I have the capital for peace talks." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Do you say that it is the battle of Yuxianggui, the generals of our army are witty, knowing that you have exhausted your strength, deliberately luring the enemy to go deep and preserve your strength, and you are still known as a China expert, don't you understand this?" ”

King Ryu was speechless, Chen Zikun said this, it was really shameless, he was speechless, lowered his head and smoked violently, after a while, his face eased, and said: "Then Your Excellency knows that Japan is still vigorous, the local can also produce tanks, aircraft, artillery, Southeast Asia's oil fields produce abundant oil and rubber, and the mainland has sufficient food and soldiers, if you are willing to continue fighting, we can also accompany you, but in the end it is you who suffer." ”

Chen Zikun said: "What you said is right, Japan has occupied a lot of territory over the years and made a lot of good things, but unfortunately you are an island country, yes, your resources are still very rich, but what do you use to transport?" The Pacific Ocean is full of American warships and planes, submarines are about to enter the Gulf of Tonkin, there is no sea capability, resources are just to draw cakes to satisfy hunger, monkeys fishing for the moon, it looks very good, and it can't be eaten in the mouth. ”

King Ryū held back for a while, then stood up suddenly, full of disdain: "Your Excellency, I have to remind you that the combined fleet of the Great Japanese Navy is not as unbearable as you say, and we can defend the Pacific Ocean and expel the ghost beasts of the United States." ”

"Oh, what to expel and take the Oriental sword?"

"Your Excellency! Please pay attention to your words, although it is a matter of military secrets, but at this moment I have to say that the combined fleet has two super battleships, with a full load displacement of 72,800 tons, nine 460-mm cannons, and the armor is four meters thick, no torpedoes and bombs can be penetrated, and they cannot be blown up, and there is no one at sea to match, and there is Yamato Musashi, so why not be afraid of the Mi army. ”

The King of the Imperial Ryu said these words impassionedly, and the momentum was much stronger, but Chen Zikun just shook his head and held him back with a word: "Do you have enough fuel?" ”

Seeing the little face of the King of the Imperial Rhyu, Chen Zikun said again: "The tonnage of the Yamato is big enough, it really shocked me, if I guessed correctly, such a huge warship should use a steam turbine that burns heavy oil, and there are at least several thousand tons of fuel oil for a voyage. ”

After being silent for a while, King Ryūo said: "Let's not talk about the navy for the time being, do you know that there are still 800,000 elite Kwantung troops in Manchukuo, Manchuria is rich in products, there is enough coal, steel and food, and the military industrial system can fully meet the needs, if necessary, Japan will give up its homeland, move its capital to Manchuria, and continue to fight, just with the ability of your army, I am afraid that it will not be able to recover Manchuria in a hundred years, don't expect the people of the United States, they will not fight for China." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Yusang, when the Russo-Japanese War was defeated, the Russians can remember this arrow hatred, yes, the Americans will not participate in the war, but the Russians will, as soon as they end the war in Europe, they will immediately move to Manchuria, let me ask the Kwantung Army has ever remembered Nomenhan?" ”

King Ryūo changed his color and said, "Your Excellency means that you are unwilling to negotiate peace?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "You started the war, and now it is you who say that you will not fight, but blame others for being insincere, and the logic of you Japanese is really incomprehensible." ”

Knowing that it didn't make sense today, King Goryu sighed, "Indeed, I know that it will be difficult to achieve peace, but for the sake of the people of Japan and China, I would like to ask you to take care of me as much as you can." ”

Chen Zikun said a few perfunctory words, sent the King of Ryu away, leaving Yan Qingyu to eat at home, before leaving, the King of Ryu glanced at Yan Qingyu meaningfully, as if he was explaining something.

Sure enough, at the dinner table, Yan Qingyu said: "Brother-in-law, Yusang also uses people's money to do things for others, the new prime minister has just come to power, and he must come up with some achievements, and besides, Xiaoiso Kuni Showa and Yusang's father have a lot of friendship, you have to help with this favor." ”

Chen Zikun said leisurely: "Since you are asking for peace, you have to come up with some real money." ”

Yan Qingyu said: "No problem, as long as you can put the harmony line on, the money is easy to say, and you can ask for gold bars and dollar bills." ”

Chen Zikun was angry and funny: "You are stupid to be an official in the Wang government, the real money I am talking about is not money, it is the price of peace talks, do you know the bottom line of the Japanese?" ”

Yan Qingyu suddenly realized, thought for a while, and said: "To be honest, the Japanese themselves are confused, Koiso Kuniaki is a reserve general, and his connections and prestige are not as good as Tojo Hideki, and his coming to power is just an emergency number, and the opinions of the Japanese high-level are not unanimous, but according to my understanding of them, I can basically guess their bottom line, that is, to abolish the puppet government in Nanjing, restore it to the state of 1937, maintain the existence of Manchukuo, and use North China as a buffer zone." ”

Chen Zikun sneered: "That's it? If you don't spit out the four eastern provinces, Taiwan, Korea, and the Ryukyus, and still want to talk about peace, it's a dream, and I wonder if your Japanese top brass is full of feces in your heads. ”

Yan Qingyu hurriedly said: "It's them, they, the heads of the Japanese high-ranking officials are indeed all, not adulterated at all, but then again, what the King of Ryu said still has some truth, although the Japanese were defeated in the Pacific Theater, they didn't suffer much defeat on the Chinese battlefield, and they had to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to completely eliminate them, so why bother." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Eliminate the evil, or then the trouble is endless, the only way for Japan is to surrender unconditionally, of course, now that the dust has not settled, you can give the king of the royal ryu a face, not to reject him." ”

Yan Qingyu said: "I know it in my heart. ”

……

At this moment, the king of the royal ryu is standing on the balcony of the Chongqing Central Hotel to look at the stars, the heart is infinitely lonely, a few years ago in Hong Kong peace talks, the Japanese side is full of ambition, take the lead, now the feng shui turns, it is the turn of the Japanese side to beg for peace, I know why bother today, the staff officers in the base camp are really not enough to succeed and more than defeated, occupy North Korea and Taiwan are not satisfied, but also to take Manchuria, take Manchuria is not enough, and want North China, the result is afraid that in the end it is a bamboo basket for nothing.

The royal family is a hereditary aristocracy, no better than those grass-roots soldiers, his viscount father is far-sighted, has already seen what will happen in five or ten years, this war Japan has lost, in order to not be completely suppressed by China in East Asia in the future, the high-level launched the No. 1 operation, the purpose is not to open up the mainland communication line as simple, but to use the last breath to weaken the strength of the Kuomintang as much as possible, so that the gap between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is not so big, in this way, after the victory, China will fall into a protracted civil war, There is no time to look eastward, leaving time for Japan to breathe.

Chongqing is pitch black at night, the war is still going on, the curfew has not been lifted, occasionally a large car drives by, and the snow-bright lamppost pierces the night sky, that is either rich or expensive, can ignore the curfew, this is the same as Shanghai.

A Chevrolet stopped downstairs in the hotel, the door opened, and it was Yan Qingyu who came down, his steps were a little vain, but his spirit was good, he threw a stack of banknotes to the driver, and sang a little song crookedly.

King Ryu shook his head helplessly, Yan Qingyu's details he already knew that this guy was a three-sided spy, working for ***, Chongqing and the Japanese at the same time, he was at ease and happy, and the money was not less, according to the plan, such a dangerous element was to be executed secretly, but it backfired, Japan was on the verge of defeat, Yan Qingyu's role is getting bigger and bigger, who let his brother-in-law be Chen Zikun.

Just thinking about it, Yan Qingyu entered the room with a smell of wine, sat on the sofa, shook his head and said, "Drink high, I'm so thirsty." ”

Seeing that King Ryū didn't move, he greeted directly: "Yusang, please pour me a glass of water, thank you." ”

King Ryu held back his anger and poured him a glass of water and brought it over, but Yan Qingyu didn't drink it, put a cigarette in his mouth, and twisted his fingers.

King Goryu took a deep breath, lit a cigarette for him with a match, and asked, "How was the talk?" ”

Yan Qingyu spit out a string of smoke rings, looked at the ceiling and said, "My brother-in-law said that he can promote peace talks, and even help Japan and the United States set up a line, these are all trivial matters." ”

"Oh?" King Ryūo looked very interested, "Can you get in touch with the U.S. side?" ”

"But just a little gossip, you know, my brother-in-law was deeply appreciated by President Roosevelt, and Stilwell has been an old friend for more than 20 years, and MacArthur has a teacher-student friendship, and Eisenhower has a lifelong friendship, and Normandy was captured by him with his own troops, you say, is there anything he can't do?" Yan Qingyu swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, and pointed to his shoulder and said:

"It's sour, give it to the hammer."
