"Jack, quick, quick."

Hanjing, on a Zhonghua car bound for Hanjing Mountain, the head of the U.S. negotiating team, Kaul. With an assistant, Hall hurried to Hanking Mountain to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs there.

When he got up in the morning, he was still looking forward to what a wonderful negotiation day would be, and he imagined that the Chinese were tactful but unwilling to back down, and that he would always laugh at the other party's negotiating team members, who seemed to be constrained a lot and seemed to have little courage.

They are always accustomed to listening more and talking less, except for Bai Chongxi, the very shrewd head of the Chinese negotiators.

The senior Chinese official, though always busy, occasionally appeared at the negotiating table in an aggressive but wise manner, while the rest of the Chinese team members were buried in the documents and offered only a few rebuttals and justifications.

All this made him feel very comfortable, as if he had firmly grasped the negotiation in his hands, and controlled the pace of the negotiation through his very rich diplomatic and negotiation experience.

He is confident that, if there are no surprises, he will gradually lead the negotiations to success, a direction favorable to the United States and the Confederate organization.

According to Hall's speculation, if the negotiations can be successful, perhaps he will have the opportunity to appear again in the armistice negotiations of World War II, as an important participant in history, to complete the greatest negotiations in the past 100 years.

"Damn the Chinese, they will never leak their hole cards to the enemy."

Thinking of the nuclear bombing of Yuben by the Chinese, Hall was uncomfortable all over, yes, from head to toe.

For the first time in his diplomatic career, he felt deeply angry and powerless. Like an ant, trampled by a dragon, although he was lucky enough not to die and could stand up and wave his arms and legs, but he couldn't let this opponent who was no longer at the same level look at it even a little more.

The fate of the ants was the biggest emotion he came up with after the Chinese's nuclear bomb exploded in Yuben, shaking Washington, shaking the West, shaking all the members of the negotiating group and foreigners in Hanjing.

"Why don't they ever reveal such a thing? They didn't even threaten a single word, they didn't threaten the possibility of using nuclear weapons in Tokyo or elsewhere, and the nuclear blackmail in Europe was done by the Germans, but why did they insist on dropping nuclear weapons on the company......

Hall had so much that he didn't understand, and the smooth ride of the negotiations almost made him forget that he was facing the toughest and most powerful Chinese political axe in history, even far more powerful than China during the Han and Tang dynasties.

Thinking of his mission, he had to put away his complaints, and he had to speed up and rush towards Hanjing Mountain. The Chinese still have five atomic bombs, where will they drop? What is it? Or is it somewhere else? If it is a book, is there a huge crisis in Sapporo? If it were somewhere else, would it be a European battlefield?

He did not dare to close his eyes, as if he would dream that the Chinese would drop atomic bombs indiscriminately.

Therefore, he had to rush to Hanjing Mountain as quickly as possible.

A few minutes later, Hanjing Mountain, which was not far away, finally arrived.

"Parking! Please show your ID. ”

The guards at the eastern gate of Hanjing Mountain saw the oncoming Chinese car, and although there was a diplomatic flag on the car, they still stretched out their hands to stop it, and an officer came over and saluted.

"Bills, show your ID."

Hall feels that the Chinese are very serious many times, more serious than the Germans, such as having a diplomatic flag on his car, and he is also a typical Westerner, but the other party does not have the slightest excess politeness, and is businesslike.

"Wait a minute."

After checking the documents, the officer searched his body by the way, turned around and walked back to the gate, took a photo album and compared it, and then said, "You can go in, please follow our guard car, don't trespass." ”

Hall moved on depressedly, thinking that dozens of years ago, Westerners in China were uncomfortable walking sideways, and now? Now I can't walk if I want to, and I'm almost crawling on my knees.

"Mr. Zhou Guolai! I have a very urgent matter that I have to discuss with you personally and exchange views. ”

Different from the previous apprehensive speculation, Hall actually waited in a conference room for Zhou Guolai, the premier of the Imperial Council, he originally thought that at most it would be Bai Chongxi, or their Foreign Minister Li Zongren to meet him, but he didn't expect it to be Zhou Guolai.

"Mr. Hall, I'm sorry to have you here. I also happen to have a very important thing to inform you. ”

Zhou Guolai shook hands with a smile, his face was very peaceful, his early forties made him look completely different from the Hall opposite, one was young, slightly tall but very handsome, and the other was full of white hair, looking haggard with anxiety, in terms of temperament and appearance, Zhou Guolai won.

You must know that Hall is the former Secretary of State of the United States, and now he is completely compared to Zhou Guolai.

"Mr. Zhou, why did your country suddenly drop an atomic bomb on Tokyo? What does this mean? Hall asked impatiently.

"Hehe, Mr. Hall, we didn't drop the atomic bomb in Tokyo out of the blue. The Chinese pay attention to everything for a cause and effect, and we have committed many crimes against us, and we naturally want to take revenge, which is called if people do not offend me, I will not offend others, and if people offend me, I will repay them, hehe.

The plan for this bombing of Tokyo, although I am not particularly clear, was told by the General Staff that they had started planning it several years ago. Zhou Guolai said in a gentlemanly manner, the elegant atmosphere is undoubtedly revealed, even if it is the diplomacy of a weak country, a person like him can control it well, not to mention the politics of a strong country and the diplomacy of a strong country.

"This ...... President Truman was very concerned about your country's next move, and Mr. Zhang Shusheng mentioned on TV and broadcast that your country would use a total of seven atomic bombs, but did not seem to particularly emphasize their specific goals. ”

Hall asked with some concern, even he felt that he was a little irrational, immature, and made a mistake that a diplomat should not make, he didn't think that Zhou Guolai would tell him such a secret, but at this time, he had no room and still asked.

Zhou Guolai did not hesitate, but smiled incomprehensibly, and said: "Since Mr. Hall asked, then I am happy to answer, I also just learned about the military's goal." Of the seven atomic bombs, two have already been dropped in the direction of Tokyo, well, the third was dropped on Sapporo ten minutes ago. ”

"Well, it turns out that the third target is Sapporo." Hall nodded in satisfaction, and finally asked the answer he wanted, but in an instant, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, something was wrong, a kind of freezing cold invaded his whole body, he was so frightened that he almost dislocated his jaw, stood up tremblingly, his eyes widened, and asked, "What?" Sapporo? Sapporo? ”

He couldn't believe it, because although there were hundreds of thousands of civilians and soldiers in Sapporo, there were still 100,000 American troops in Sapporo.

"Yes, Mr. Hall, Sapporo is an important city in Hokkaido, and the military has always had frequent military activities, so it makes sense that the military chose it as a target."

Looking at the stunned and completely stunned old man in the chair, he did not have any pity, but a pleasure, the pleasure of seeing the enemy in pain.

"But, however, there are a lot of American troops there, Mr. Zhou, 100,000 American troops, a whole 100,000 American troops......" Hall was like a mourner, and he even dared to swear to God that he had never loved the United States and American GIs as much as he did at this moment, just because he heard the news that the atomic bomb had fallen on their heads.

"100,000 U.S. troops? Is there a US military in Sapporo? Zhou Guolai also stood up in shock, took two steps up, and asked condescendingly, "Mr. Hall, this problem is very serious, why are there 100,000 American troops in Sapporo, we are in a period of fierce war with you, hasn't your country already announced the withdrawal of troops in exchange for the easing of our offensive against your country?" Have you broken your promise!! ”

"This ...... This ......"

Hall was confused at first, and then remembered that there had indeed been countless such tacit understandings, or small secret agreements, between China and the United States. For example, this issue is one of the conditions for negotiations between China and the United States at the end of the entire Far East issue. The United States' undisclosed withdrawal of troops from Ben and the Far East can be regarded as liberating its own troops, and the situation has been exchanged for China's 'temporary concession' on the Indian issue and its temporary 'forbearance' in the Moscow theater.

Now, even if I admit that there are 100,000 American troops in Sapporo, it is useless.

Sure enough, Zhou Guolai continued.

"Mr. Hall, this is a serious question, and your country has broken our secret treaty. Moreover, if it is true that your country has stationed 100,000 troops in Sapporo, we will not be at all wrong. The goal of our action this time is to take the city, and we have the right to choose any city. ”

Zhou Guolai said solemnly, "This is a war, a war between races. I'll give you a very simple example, if one day there is to be a nuclear war between China and the United States, China and the United Kingdom, China and any enemy, we are equally free to choose any city, because! ”

He paused slightly, "Because, the atomic bomb is in our hands." ”

"Yes, yes!"

Hall was even more depressed, the rhetoric, sophistry, and persuasion prepared before coming are now all useless, and he can't even open his mouth, and that's not all, he was also tactfully warned, and was passed a warning by the Chinese to 'reserve the right and freedom to attack the US homeland'.

This is not a threat, this is a naked warning, and he is sure that the handsome young Imperial Prime Minister is a warning, passing a warning from the top of the Chinese Empire against the United States and even the Allies.
