48. Restart negotiations

The Chinese military's plan to repair the plank road in the open and to secretly display the warehouse directly caused Japan's fighting spirit and spirit to be completely shattered.

The war was completely untenable, and the Japanese ambassadors in various countries immediately launched a full-scale diplomatic action, lobbying the Western powers to intercede. If the Chinese army is really allowed to capture Tokyo and parade in Tokyo, then Japan will be completely unable to raise its head in the whole world, and the morale of the people will be completely trampled on.

In the Shanghai Concession, the plenipotentiary in charge of negotiations, Inu Yangyi, also frequently called on the mediators of various countries, saying that Japan had really reached the point of exhaustion, and that there had not been any large-scale fierce fighting, but under the Chinese side's conspiracy, most of Japan's territory was actually occupied. Although the Chinese army was stationed outside the city after only defeating the defenders, the Korean army that took over the defense of the city was frenzied plundering and bloody suppression of the Japanese people's resistance, and the towns were full of blood and smoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why Li Bufan, the young leader of China, insisted on continuing the war was to accumulate prestige and seniority for him to become a full-fledged president in the future. I don't think countries want China to be the president of China with such a military strongman, because that would be a disaster not only for Japan, but also for East Asia and the world. Please! ”

Inu Yangyi's bowed head was almost lowered to the ground, and at this moment, he could no longer care about shame and dignity. Originally, he also wanted to mobilize China's pro-Japanese faction and the Japanese faction to lobby the Nanjing Provisional Government, but when Li Bufan declared war, he openly claimed that those who dared to make peace with Japan would be killed, and it would be too late to hide when they saw the Japanese one by one, let alone meet them in person. Several of the main and media broke out relevant reports, but they were forcibly seized by the army on the same day, and all the boss reporters were arrested and imprisoned, how can people not be silenced.

Who is Li Bufan? At the beginning, several provinces in East China launched a major riot, which was a river of blood, and I don't know how many wealthy families were wiped out because of this. Where did the pro-Japanese faction dare to kill themselves? There were also a few pro-Japanese die-hards clamoring in the concession that the Nanjing Provisional Government in the concession could not send troops in to arrest people, but these flies were immediately shot and killed.

British representative Smith, French representative François Hollande, and American representative Conger are all professional diplomats, and since they have been sent as representatives, they naturally have studied the situation in East Asia and are very clear about the bottom line at home. Originally, the great powers expected that Japan's so-called "Oriental Verdun" would inflict a heavy blow on the main force of the Chinese army and consume the vitality of the Chinese side, but they never dreamed that the situation would change drastically.

"Early tomorrow morning, we will again ask the Chinese side to cease the war and negotiate peace." Smith looked at Inukai Yi with disappointment and said, "It's disappointing for your country's incompetence, but given that Japan is also a member of the Entente and the Anglo-Japanese alliance, our British Empire will not sit idly by and watch Japan become history." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Japan will firmly follow in the footsteps of the British Empire" Inuyang Yi was about to fall in tears at this moment, and he didn't know whether it was humiliating or moving. The world is changing so fast that he doesn't even have the capacity to take the blow. This role change is too fast, as if it was back in the middle of the first day overnight, and the Chinese army landed on the Japanese mainland on a large scale, which is simply a big event where the sky is falling, and it is a thunderbolt from the blue that almost knocked him out.

"We need to discuss this matter, so please do it first." Hollande unceremoniously drove Inuyi away.

The dog raised Yi left with a thousand thanks, and he didn't dare to let out a fart.

Conger looked at the back of Inu Yangyi, and suddenly said, "Inu Yangyi? Dog raising is literally understood in Chinese, does that mean that a dog is raised? ”

"Hehehe." Conger's little humor made Smith and Hollande laugh.

Smith quickly said, "This is the end of the joke. The Japanese are really about to finish, Shikoku Island has been basically occupied by the Chinese, the Japanese army on Kyushu Island concentrated in Kumamoto to defend against the attack of the Chinese First Front, but unexpectedly the Chinese Second Front Army landed directly from Kagoshima, it can be said that Kyushu Island is now only left by the Japanese Kumamoto has not completely fallen; Hokkaido in the north is completely finished, and the fall of Sendai in the north of Honshu Island is only a matter of two days. I didn't expect Japan, which has always been arrogant and domineering, to end up like this in such a short period of time. ”

Hollande laughed and said: "The Japanese are a bunch of barbaric fools, as an island country, it still wants to resist when it loses its sea dominance, isn't that self-defeating?" They thought that the Chinese would be as stupid as them and would fight them in a decisive battle. But I don't know that China Li participated in the Battle of Verdun, how tragic such a battle is, how huge the cost, I think China Li is very clear, because it is clear, so China Li will never be willing to fight such a terrible battle. ”

Conger laughed, "Well, we all know that the Japanese are barbaric and stupid, but we have to save them now. If the Japanese fall completely, then a unified China that has basically completed the construction of the industrial system will be a dominant force in the Far East, and I think none of us is willing to face the huge army of millions of Chinese, let alone a Chinese leader with a military strongman, otherwise we will have to roll up and roll out of China sooner or later. ”

"Damn the Japanese, it's their stupidity that has caused the situation in East Asia to become so bad, and you America, can't you restrict your businessmen? If such a steady stream of equipment is exported to China, China will become even more terrible. Smith viciously expressed his displeasure.

Conger shook his head and said: "Each of our states in the United States has its own laws, and I am very sorry, even the president cannot stop American businessmen from making money, otherwise the United States will face the danger of disintegration." And is it just us, the United States? Aren't you British the same in exporting parts? And France, Germany. We all have to admit that there is nothing that any country can do to stop trade unless it is a war. ”

Hollande smiled bitterly: "Okay, we have no way to stop the trade, we can only block the export of sensitive equipment as much as possible, let's talk about how we can open our mouth tomorrow to ask for negotiations"

----------------

Britain, France, and the United States once again came forward to mediate, and representatives of the three major powers came in succession, attracting attention.

Tang Shaoyi didn't dare to slack off, but such a big matter was not something that his foreign minister could decide alone, so he arranged for someone to stabilize Smith and others, and personally visited Li Bufan in the temporary presidential palace to ask for instructions on how to deal with this matter.

"Hehe" Li Bufan and Wu Di laughed dryly at each other, Wu Di said, "It seems that little Japan can't hold on, begging grandpa to tell grandma to ask foreign devils to come out to mediate." Boss, I see that the great powers will definitely not want to watch us kill little Japan. ”

Li Bufan nodded, and said in deep thought: "It's okay to restart negotiations, but there are three prerequisites, which can be regarded as letting Little Japan show the sincerity of peace talks." ”

Wu Di smiled and said, "No matter what, the negotiation has to be negotiated slowly." We have a lot of decent equipment in these control areas, and we need to move them back. Even if it is inconvenient for the government to invest in many industries, then it can also transfer the equipment to the national capital, by the way, there seem to be a lot of small Japanese boats at the wharf, and they can be driven back, and they can't be left to small Japan, even the fishing boats should not be let go, and they can be rented to coastal fishermen at a low price. ”

Li Bufan and Tang Shaoyi both looked at the Wu enemy's army division with the eyes of bandits, this item is too amazing, they can't take it away or don't want it, they actually blew it up, and they didn't even leave the scum to others. This made Li Bufan confirm once again that the traversers are all shameless people with no discipline and no bottom line, what kind of environment does this need to cultivate this kind of livestock?

Gradually, Wu Enemy's military division, who was making a big statement to move small Japan, finally discovered the wrong eyes of Li Bufan and Tang Shaoyi, and was furious from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Hey, what kind of eyes are you?" Then he continued to check the clothes on his body, especially the "gate" below, for fear that he would forget to close the "door" after going to the toilet, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his clothes.

1. The Japanese garrison in Port Arthur must surrender unconditionally;

2. The Japanese troops still resisting Kumamoto must surrender unconditionally;

3. Japan must destroy the fortified defense line built in the Fukuyama area.

"If Japan can fulfill these three conditions, Japan will recognize Japan's sincerity and resume negotiations." Tang Shaoyi returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, confronted Smith, Hollande, and Conger, and said the three prerequisites for peace talks instructed by Li Bufan.

Lushun Fortress is known as the first fortress in the Far East, the Japanese Kwantung Army is stationed here, and after the original direct surrender, a wing of the Japanese army originally stationed in Tianjin also fled here, and more than 20,000 Japanese troops relied on such a fortress, how many people died in the storm? And the Chinese bombshells are almost exhausted, and without the bombshells they cannot destroy the fortress. For this reason, it has been besieged but not attacked before, in order to force Japan to surrender and recover it intact.

The destruction of the defensive fortifications around Fukuyama was to facilitate the Stick to attack with Little Japan in the future. As for the sticks, isn't there a fortification work on the Chinese side at present? This is a typical example of only allowing the governor to set fires and not allowing the people to light lamps, only allowing me to have fortifications, but not to you, so that the sticks can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and consumed with small Japan. Completely get rid of the Kumamoto defenders on Kyushu Island, that is also to stabilize the rear of Minami Stick. Will Li Bufan allow Japan to project troops and other armed forces in the occupied territories before the negotiations are over? That's impossible. Not only will it not, but it will fully assist Bangzi to control these areas, expand and reorganize the training troops, and the day the Chinese army retreats is the time when Bangzi and Little Japan will start fighting.

Smith said in a deep voice, "Your country's request is too much, isn't it?" In the event that your country provokes a war again, won't Japan, which destroyed the fortifications, be completely unable to resist it? ”

Hollande also said solemnly: "That's right, there must be negotiations first. Your Excellency, your country and Japan are both members of our Entente, and I hope that your country will not gain an inch. ”

Tang Shaoyi thought for a while and said: "Japan shows sincerity and completes the first two items first, even if Japan does not agree, they will not last long." As for the fortifications of the defensive line, they must be destroyed after the results of the negotiations, and Japan will not withdraw until Japan has fulfilled its reparations. ”
