Beijing, Shijiazhuang to hand

When I returned to the office, I saw Liu Hua with a confident face during the entire negotiation process in front of me, and then thought of the 'scary' conditions that Liu Hua suddenly put forward when the negotiation was about to end. Zuo Quan, as the deputy negotiator, asked rhetorically with a worried face.

"Commander-in-chief, is it too much to let Ishihara Wan'er agree to your conditions just now before the negotiations begin, and hand over the city of Beijing to us in its entirety. After all, as long as he agrees, not only himself, but even the entire Japanese government will be completely disgraced in front of us...."

Liu Hua smiled very confidently, looked at Zuo Quan in front of him, and said with a firm face:

"Chief of Staff, don't worry, Ishihara will definitely agree. However, he was just given a chance and he didn't cherish it. Now my conditions are not as simple as giving up a Beijing city. Don't forget, I gave Ishihara a reminder before I left. I believe that if nothing else, Ishihara at this moment will be at his own station, through telegrams, to report the news I have just said to the country in a hurry. And the entire Japanese government will also be thrown into chaos because of the news I just revealed..."

"Commander-in-Chief, what do you mean?" Zuo Quan asked thoughtfully.

"Let someone pass a message to Ishihara, and I'll give him a day to think about it. A day later, if we want to continue negotiations with us, we must hand over the two provincial capitals of Beijing and Shijiazhuang to our army intact. As for the Japanese troops stationed in the two cities, the Beijing garrison went to Tianjin to garrison, and the Shijiazhuang garrison went to Hengshui to garrison..."Liu Hua said confidently.

"I understand, the little devil now has only one way to go....and we just hope to get enough benefits from the Japanese army as much as possible before the negotiations break down... Commander-in-chief, Gao, it's really too high, I really admire you more and more when you eat the east family, and you go to eat the west family...."Zuo Quan, who reacted, said with a sudden realization.

"This is also to preserve the heritage of our country as much as possible, otherwise, I would not have proposed this plan to the central government, which has huge risks. Also, immediately inform our troops in the two places and be ready to receive the lost territory..."

Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua and Chief of Staff Zuo Quan were in the office, and they began to calculate the time when the negotiations would not allow the Japanese troops to withdraw smoothly from the territory and get enough benefits from the Japanese government. A telegram of thousands of words has been transmitted very secretly to the staff headquarters in Tokyo, Japan, under the order of Ishihara Waner, through radio waves...

After quickly reading the telegram in his hand, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo's face was already flushed with anger. Because he did not expect that the Chinese, who had always been so inferior in his eyes before, and who were almost the first to look forward to the Great Japanese Empire, would have such courage and tough attitude at this moment.

However, after reading another secret message from Ishihara Waner, Hideki Tojo was immediately relieved.

"Yaga, cunning Shina, cunning American..."When Hideki Tojo's hands clenched the telegram began to tremble slightly, a scolding finally blurted out.

However, as the prime minister of the Japanese government, Hideki Tojo still adjusted his mentality as soon as possible. Start racking your brains and think about possible countermeasures.

At the same time, he roared loudly at his subordinates who were still stunned: "Bastard, what are you still doing in a daze." Immediately notify His Majesty the Emperor and convene an emergency Imperial Council. Tell His Majesty the Emperor that Chief of Staff Ishihara has sent back important information from China, and that an emergency Imperial Council must be convened immediately to come up with a concrete decision..."..., "Hayi, Your Excellency the Prime Minister...."

Imperial Council.

After Ishihara's telegram was passed through in the hands of all the ministers attending the meeting, the entire hall immediately fell into a deathly silence. Everyone, frowning, stood in place with a solemn face, without saying a word.

A few minutes later, Emperor Hirohito, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't stand this atmosphere at first, and set his eyes on the only cabinet prime minister Tojo Hideki who could rely on the entire imperial front. He asked directly.

"Tojo-kun, you are the Prime Minister of the Empire of Japan, and it is your duty to safeguard the interests of the Empire of Japan. So, now I'd like to hear from you. Is there a good solution to the question of the United States' participation in the Sino-Japanese negotiations?

In the face of Emperor Hirohito's rhetorical question, in the face of the eyes of the surrounding princes and ministers who seemed to be ready to see a joke. In Tojo Hideki's heart, although he really wants to take revenge, Ishihara Waner, who was still chasing after himself a few days ago. However, as Emperor Hirohito said, he is the prime minister of the whole of Japan, and no matter how much internal struggle is carried out in a timely manner, it must be carried out while keeping the entire empire intact and the interests of the empire not being violated.

Thinking of this, Hideki Tojo did not continue to hesitate, and after quickly sorting out the thoughts in his mind, he said unexpectedly.

"Your Majesty, at present, the national fortunes of the Great Japanese Empire have been tied to the chariot of the Pacific Theater. After the victory of the Pacific War, the national fortunes of the Japanese Empire will begin from this and move towards glory step by step. If the Pacific War is lost, the Japanese Empire will also be destroyed due to the loss of a large number of imperial elites. Therefore, the minister thinks that for the victory of the Pacific War, no matter how big the effort is, it is worth it..."

Hideki Tojo's reasoned answer, although it won the approval of most of the people in the Imperial Council. However, there has always been a stubborn old minister who has tied the honor of the empire to his own honor and regards honor above all else, and scoffed at Hideki Tojo's answer.

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, a field marshal who had made countless feats for the empire, despite the obstruction of Emperor Hirohito's gaze, walked out directly from his position, pointed at Hideki Tojo's nose, and scolded.

"Yaga, Hideki Tojo, do you want to be like Ishihara and become a disgrace to the Japanese Empire....pay, don't you know that the Chinese government agrees to the preconditions for negotiations? This is simply an insult to the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, an insult to the entire Great Japanese Empire, and an insult to His Majesty the Emperor"

"Your Majesty, after years of conquest and after paying the price of a large number of warriors, the great honor that the Great Japanese Empire has won so hard, how can these honors and the Empire's position in the world be ruined because of a single negotiation....therefore, I beg Your Majesty that you absolutely cannot agree to the conditions of the Chinese..."

"In addition, if no one is willing to lead the elite of the imperial army in China to break through, the old minister is willing to petition His Majesty, and is willing to rush to the Chinese battlefield in person, command the troops to break through, and reinforce the imperial army troops in the Pacific theater...."

In the face of the life and death of the empire, even in the hierarchical imperial council, Tojo Hideki didn't care about any superiority and humility, and asked loudly at the marshal in front of him, who was several levels older than himself.

"Your Excellency Marshal, please believe in the warriors and commanders at all levels at the front, and in the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army. If the troops had managed to break through, I would not have agreed to negotiate with the Chinese government a few days ago...."

"However, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the current Imperial Army in China is, it is impossible to complete the breakthrough. Because our opponents, tempered by several years of war, are no longer the weak and bullying army of a few years ago. It's an elite army with millions of mercenaries and combat effectiveness not much lower than that of the Imperial Army.........", after a series of rebuttals, the hearts of several old ministers were still very unconvinced. However, in the face of hard facts, I had to keep my mouth shut and acquiesce in the suggestion of Hideki Tojo in front of me....

Silence, for a while, the huge Imperial Palace, as Tojo Hideki's voice fell, once again became as quiet as death. However, the tranquility at this moment means that the opinions of all the ministers have been unified.

"Very good, since everyone has agreed with Tojo-kun's opinion. Well, the matter is decided. Tojo-kun immediately sent a telegram to Chief of Staff Ishihara of China, agreeing with his opinion. At the same time, Chief of Staff Ishihara was told to minimize the losses of the Great Japanese Empire as much as possible during the negotiations. However, there is a precondition for all this, that is, all the imperial troops stationed in China must withdraw from China within a month..."Emperor Hirohito ordered with a resolute face.

"Hayi, Your Majesty...."

Emperor Hirohito's order reached the ears of Ishihara Waner in China for the first time.

Looking at the order, Ishihara Waner, who is the chief of the Japanese General Staff, immediately showed a wry smile on his face.

After all, Japan has always been the world's leading power in Asia. And now, Japan, as a world power, has taken the initiative to bow to its weak neighbor. What's more, this person who bowed his head actually wanted to let himself implement...

Don't think about it, as long as you take this step tomorrow, no matter what the result is, you will become a disgrace to the empire. Even if this shame is for the sake of the future of the Great Japanese Empire, it is impossible for me to escape it ....

However, as Hideki Tojo thought in his heart at the Imperial Council, since he held the position of the Empire, he had to pay the necessary price for this position. Thinking of this, the hesitant look on Ishihara's face was immediately replaced by a trace of firm conviction.

"Adjutant, immediately contact the Chinese negotiator, Commander-in-Chief Liu, and on behalf of the Japanese Empire, I agree to your request to hand over the two cities of Beijing and Shijiazhuang to the Chinese army intact. I just hope that you will agree to our request as soon as possible and resume negotiations? ”

For Ishihara's shocking order, the adjutant was very puzzled. However, he still replied mercilessly: "Ha Yi, I will do it immediately..."

In the office of Liu Hua, commander-in-chief of the East China Field Army.

Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua stood in front of a huge world map, studying the increasingly complicated international situation because of his arrival. Chief of Staff Zuo Quan's rare excited voice reached his ears.

"Commander-in-chief, good news, good news....The little devil has promised us the conditions, Beijing, Shijiazhuang are in hand...."
