Chapter 220: Foreign Affairs Street Confrontation!

Since the fall of Beiping in 37 years, more than two years have passed until the Eighth Route Army successfully entered Beiping City tonight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the past two years or so, many people in the occupied areas of Beiping have also wondered when Beiping will be liberated.

When the day finally came, the people of the city still looked a little incredulous. But the sound of gunfire throughout the afternoon undoubtedly clearly told everyone that the Eighth Route Army had really entered Beiping City and was encircling and suppressing the little devils!

Even the foreign consuls who practiced neutrality also felt very strange when they learned that the Eighth Route Army had successfully entered the city and was carrying out an operation to eliminate the remnants of the enemy in the city. In their opinion, the Japanese army was defeated too quickly.

In fact, for the Eighth Route Army that entered the city at this moment, it looked like many puppet soldiers were also desperately fighting devils. Although he was a little puzzled in his heart, he still didn't sit on the wall and watch, and soon cleared the Japanese army in the city with the puppet army.

Seeing the Eighth Route Army, which was constantly pouring into Beiping City, it was left behind as a subordinate army for defensive operations. Most of these two devils who were forcibly recruited are naturally not as loyal as the little devils. Seeing that the opportunity was wrong, surrender became their first choice.

Most of the puppet armies chose the battlefield to revolt in order to save their lives, and most of the subordinate armies chose to surrender in order to save their lives. How long could the remaining Japanese troops, which were the smallest of their numbers, be pursued by the 2nd Reconnaissance Regiment to follow up with the city troops?

After the commander of the second reconnaissance regiment, Du, and the other three commanders entered the city one after another. The soldiers of the reconnaissance regiment, who had already ended the battle and controlled some important targets in the city, also reported the battle situation to Commander Du in due course.

"Commander, a group of little devils broke into the embassy area and were stopped by those foreign devils. But there were still a few little devils who broke in, and we wanted them to hand over people. But they said that those devils were their expatriates! ’

Hearing the report, Head Du also said directly: "Let's go, go to Embassy Street!" ”

Waiting for Commander Du to arrive at Embassy Street, he looked at the foreign troops who were waiting for them. He stepped forward directly and said: "I am one of the commanders of this attack on Beiping, I want to meet your direct boss and raise our protest!" ”

'Wait! I'll inform the consul of this! ’

Compared with the previous reconnaissance group soldiers who asked them to hand over people, these foreign devils are not very sold. Now that he sees Regiment Commander Du coming, he is one of the commanders of the attack on Beiping this time, and he can speak fluent English, and the foreign devil soldiers dare not slack off.

Of course, what is more important is that they saw a troop brought by Commander Du. Judging from the equipment of these people, these foreign devils are not stupid at all. If you really want to provoke these people, it is estimated that they will not have any good fruit to eat.

In fact, at this time, these foreign consuls were also engaged in a fierce confrontation. Previously, the Italian consul in China received several Japanese commanders in Beiping, which really made the consuls of Britain and the United States very angry.

This, they felt, undermined the previous policy of neutrality that had been agreed upon. But the Italian consul also said directly: "They have decided to become Italian citizens, and as my country's nationals, I have the right to provide them with asylum!" ”

With the beginning of such a European war, Germany and Italy are undoubtedly intertwined. Even, now that Germany has reached an alliance agreement with the Japanese bowl in private, they are naturally willing to provide some shelter to the Japanese bowl.

Knowing that the commander of the Eighth Route Army had come to negotiate, the British and American consuls immediately said: "Since those people are provided by Consul Arlo, then you can negotiate!" It's none of our business! ”

At this time, Britain and the United States, which also had good relations, were also willing to see the Eighth Route Army fighting with the Italians. After all, Britain and the United States, these allies, hope to pull China into their alliance sequence.

In the face of the consuls of Britain, France, the United States and other countries, the Italian consul in China could only say: "Okay, then I will go and meet the Chinese general." I want to see if he dares to cause diplomatic disputes between the two countries! ”

'Let's go and have a look!' Today's Eighth Route Army is no longer the poor Red Army of the past. This Arlo, I'm afraid I won't get a bargain. Of course, we all like to hear about it, don't we? ’

'Nice! Let's go and have a look! I'm really not used to staying in the embassy district for so long. Speaking of which, we also need to discuss with the commanders of the Eighth Route Army how we will get along with them next. ’

At this time, the US consul in China said: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the advice given by our liaison office in Yan'an. These Eighth Route Army and the Chongqing government are still somewhat different.

Especially the young General He, he was also very disgusted with the unequal treaty of the concession. However, that General Ho is a very sensible general, and he is good at dealing with foreign governments like us.

If the other party is satisfied, we can also reap a lot of benefits from the Eighth Route Army. At least judging from the current situation of cooperation, the Eighth Route Army does have potential worthy of our support. They also have the ability to become the future leaders of China! ”

I am afraid that these consuls of Britain, France and other countries will put up a high stand in front of the Eighth Route Army. The U.S. consul also reminded him at the right time. At least he didn't want China to be at odds with these countries.

When the Italian consul appeared in the martial law area, after the introduction of the American consul, Head Du also said directly: "Consul Arlo, do you have anything to explain about the previous matter?" ”

'This is the diplomatic and consular district, and your troops have no right to enter!' If you force your way in, it will be a provocation to my Government. As I said, those are our nationals, and I have the right to give them asylum! ’

'Really? Consul Arlo, who do you think is credible to your remarks with so many consuls here today? I need to make sure now, are those people really your expatriate? ’

'Yes! I'm sure! ’

Just after Consul Arlo simply threw out this sentence, Commander Du immediately said: "First battalion, prepare for battle!" ”

With the order of Regiment Commander Du, the officers and men of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion who were staying behind him immediately raised their guns on their shoulders. Seeing that these Eighth Route Army began to seize the physical terrain and were ready to shoot at any time, the foreign soldiers in charge of guarding were equally startled.

Ignoring the words of the other consuls, Head Du said directly: "Consul Arlo, the people you shielded participated in the war of aggression against our country. So, can I think that this is your country's undeclared war against my country? ”

As soon as these words came out, the consuls of Britain, France and the United States who were staying on the side immediately felt that the commander of the Eighth Route Army was really powerful. Elevate this matter to the level of an undeclared war, but I'm afraid that Arlo can't afford such a responsibility.

'Captain Du, don't talk nonsense! You are slandering and deliberately provoking a war between our two countries! ’

Looking at Consul Arlo, who was a little anxious and annoyed, Head Du still said very calmly: "Consul Arlo, earlier your consular district chose to adopt a neutral policy, and we also know it.

In order not to cause friction and misunderstanding, after our army entered the city, it did not search your consular area. However, you who have chosen a policy of neutrality do not abide by the policy announced before the war, which is a provocation to our army.

There is one more thing I need to remind Consul Arlo. My commander is Commander He Zhengdao of the Northeast Field Army, and he is well aware of the war that is taking place in Europe today, and he also knows that you have a good relationship with the Japanese bowl.

However, at present, Japan has only declared war on the Japanese bowl and has not announced its membership in the Central Powers. Therefore, if you want to shield a few Japanese people, but cause friction and even disputes between the two countries, do you think you can make a difference to the people? ”

One sentence directly exposed Arlo's intention to protect those Japanese bowls, and the sharp words of Head Du made a group of foreign consuls equally impressed. But Britain, France, and the United States seem to be secretly happy in their hearts.

Speaking of which, they would love to see the Italian consul suffocating in front of the Eighth Route Army. Especially when they learned that this officer was actually He Zhengdao's subordinate, they felt even more excited, and felt that they could learn more about He Zhengdao through this officer.

Just when Arlo was riding a tiger, Commander Du said in a timely manner: "Consul Arlo, although I can't give you any promises on behalf of the Eighth Route Army. But I'm one of the commanders, and I'll make sure you're safe in the city.

If you choose to oppose our army and shield those war criminals. Then our army has the right to suspect that you are in alliance with the Japanese bowl side and support the war of aggression launched by the Japanese bowl government against our country.

Our army also resolutely resists and resolutely disagrees with such behavior. For this reason, I hope that Consul Arlo will think clearly about whether you really want to push the relationship between our two countries to a hostile position for a few war criminals! ”

In the face of another verbal persecution by Head Du, Consul Arlo, who also felt that he was lonely, could only say: "Okay! To prove that our country is not hostile to your army, I can return those men. ”

'Thank you! We warmly welcome any foreign government that is willing to make friends with us. As for the management and stability maintenance work in Beiping in the future, our army will soon send corresponding management personnel over.

When the time comes, they will consult with the consuls. We are also grateful to any government and individual who has supported our cause of resistance against Japan. For friends, we will not treat them badly, and will give a certain degree of preferential treatment! ’

After throwing out these words at the right time, Head Du also felt relieved. If it weren't for the time when he came, He Zhengdao had confessed, and he couldn't have a conflict with these foreigners. With his temper, he had already led his troops to rush in and arrest people.

Now that the other side is soft, this kind of conflict has been avoided. After all, Commander Du somewhat knew that He Zhengdao's usual policy was to ignore the warring affairs of these European countries.

This brief confrontation also made many foreign consuls see the unique side of the Eighth Route Army. Even a commander who leads troops to fight a war has the same eloquence as a diplomat, which is indeed rare.

Some people even think that the commander of the Eighth Route Army in front of him will be an overseas student who has studied abroad. But no matter what, they all felt that it was really necessary to carefully handle the relationship and bilateral exchanges with the Eighth Route Army!
