On 26 October, Youpeng and Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple in Shanxian secretly arrived at the port of Tianjin on a ship arranged by the Chinese navy.

"Gentlemen, it's time for dinner, our chief invites you to come to the dining room for dinner!" A waiter knocked on the door and said to Yama Prefecture Youtomo, Saionji Gongwang and their entourage in the room on the train.

"Okay, thank you on my behalf, sir!" Shan Youpeng nodded, got up on crutches and said to the others, "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant for dinner!" ”

"Please come with me!" After speaking, the train service staff led the way in front, and Shan County Youpeng and other people followed behind.

After coming to the restaurant, the dining compartment is much more spacious, and the curtains of the windows are opened, which makes the restaurant very bright. After sitting down, Youpeng of Shan County said to the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang who was sitting opposite: "During the First Sino-Japanese War, I served as the commander of the First Army, and I was fortunate to cross the Yalu River and go to the land of Huaguo, but only to the Liaodong region, which was very desolate at that time. You look outside, the fields outside are in good order, the canals can lead to every field, there are large water wheels for irrigation, pieces of golden, from a distance you know that those rice ears are full of grains, now it is the harvest season, Huaguo is going to have a bumper harvest this year, it seems that the Huaguo authorities have made a lot of efforts in agriculture."

"China has a large population, and it is obvious that it cannot feed so many people without putting a lot of effort into agriculture!" Speaking of this, Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple changed the topic and said, "Lord Shan County." How sure are you that Xiao Zhenlei will promise to keep my country's national honor this time? ”

Hearing this, Youpeng in Shan County sighed: "To be honest, I'm not sure. At most, it is only fifty percent, although I have been studying Xiao Zhenlei for the past two years. But without seeing him himself, I can't say I know this person, I can only know after seeing this person, oh, it's served??????".

I saw a few train attendants lined up with plates of dishes and came over and put plates of dishes on the table, these dishes are very good on the train, and the taste is also very good, this is the idea of a few entourage, but the two of Shan County Youpeng and Xiyuan Temple Gongwang are obviously not in the mood to taste these musty delicacies.

The two of them were talking. While chewing slowly, the dishes on the table of the entourage were all eaten because they were so delicious, but the dishes on the table of the two of them barely touched, and the two of them only drank two glasses of wine, each ate a small bowl of rice and did not eat again.

After lunch, the train arrived at the Jingshi Railway Station, and after getting off the train, they were arranged to leave the exit through the VIP passage and get into a few cars that had been waiting outside.

Cars were speeding down the streets. Youpeng in Yamayama County can still see the scene on the street outside the car window, the street is very wide, clean and tidy, and the number of vehicles is many, many. But everything is in order, China is a big country of automobiles, and the cars produced are not only exported abroad. Of course, it is also necessary to supply domestic demand, and it is very cheap to buy a car in China. Because there is no need to pay export taxes and duties, the price is naturally low. However, if the car is exported abroad, the price is generally several times higher.

The streets are spacious and tidy, many of the buildings on both sides of the street are newly built high-rise buildings, the highest has been built to more than a dozen floors, in addition to these new buildings, there are many very well-preserved former Qing buildings, but many dilapidated and dilapidated houses have been demolished, and those dilapidated old houses facing the street have been demolished to build high-rise buildings.

Youpeng and others in Shan County were sent to the State Guest House to stay, but because of the need to keep secrets, the Huaguo side did not make a big move, and even a relatively high-ranking official was not sent to greet them, and Youpeng and others in Shan County did not dare to express the slightest dissatisfaction.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Premier Song Shijie came to the greeting officer on behalf of the president and the cabinet to visit Youpeng and Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple in Shan County, Song Shijie and Youpeng in Shan County and others The meeting was just a formality, which was specially instructed by Xiao Zhenlei, the reason why he did not greet him at that time, but waited for them to settle down and then let Song Shijie visit was not to let the outside world know the news, and let Song Shijie visit was also out of etiquette considerations, although Shan County Youpeng and Xiyuan Temple Gongwang were Japanese veterans, But because they no longer have the status of official Japanese government officials, they can let Song Shijie visit, Xiao Zhenlei thinks that Huaguo is enough to show respect.

Song Shijie stayed at the State Guest House for more than an hour before leaving, and he came to the Presidential Palace to report to Xiao Zhenlei about the meeting with Youpeng in Shan County and Gongwang in Xiyuan Temple.

"How about meeting with Yama Prefecture Youpeng and Saionji Gongwang? What kind of attitude do they have? Xiao Zhenlei asked.

Song Shijie sat opposite Xiao Zhenlei and said: "The posture of these two old guys is very low, from the time we met to the time when we walked into the lobby of the State Guest House, they bowed to me three times, and it was a ninety-degree bow, during the meeting, they always maintained a respectful look, which is completely different from the situation I imagined in my mind, anyway, the two of them were also once stomped on the whole of Asia to tremble three times, why do you see me today like a slave meeting a master?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei smiled, he lit a cigarette and smoked, in fact, he had long expected that this would be the case, Japan has reached this point, the only way is to wag its tail and beg for mercy to China, if it was in the past, there was a war between China and Japan, even if Japan was defeated, China could not do anything to Japan, at most, Japan should pay reparations from all parts of Japan, and it was absolutely impossible to let Japan die, or even annex Japan, because the great powers would never allow it, but the current situation is completely different, It is now the time of the world war, the whole world is in chaos, the great powers have no time to take care of the affairs of the East, China can treat Japan as it wants, slaughter and annexation are okay, no one dares to meddle in things.

After taking a few puffs of cigarette, he said: "You must know that the current Japan is no longer the Japan of the past, Japan is very strong compared to the Qing Dynasty, and now we are weak and weak in front of us, we can fix it as we want, it used to be a man-made sword, I am a fish, but now it is the opposite, I am a sword, it is a fish!" Youpeng and Xiyuan Temple Gongwang in Shan County are very aware of this, so their posture is quite low, and there is even a little bit of flattery, whiskers and horses, isn't that so? ”

"That's right, that's right!" Song Shijie said: "That's it, what are you going to meet with them?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei smiled and took a puff of cigarette and said, "Don't worry, let them dry for a few days first!" ”

After three days, Youpeng and Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple in Shan County were hung in the guest house and no one cared about them, and they first wanted to go out and were blocked by the staff of the guest house, which made their attendants extremely angry, but they still endured it under the suppression of Youpeng in Shan County, but the hearts of these attendants were extremely angry, although they were calm down on the surface, but in their hearts it can be said that they were holding back a fire, and even Xiyuan Temple Gongwang was blue all day long, obviously angry.

Shan County Youpeng saw all this, and he was worried about the irreparable consequences caused by the period when these accompanying staff and attendants would act, so he gathered these people together and said: "Gentlemen, remember what we are here for this time!" It's easy to get angry and get out of the way, but you should all know what the consequences are! In order to achieve our goal, we must endure, endure the humiliation that no ordinary person can bear, as long as we can achieve our goal, the humiliation we suffer is worth it! ”

"Hey!"

The feelings of the entourage were calmed down by this simple remark of Youpeng in Shanxian County, which shows that the ability of Youpeng in Shanxian is not comparable to ordinary people, and even the heart of Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple calmed down.

It wasn't until the fifth day, on the morning of October 31, that Xiao Zhenlei sent someone to the guest house to inform Youpeng and others in Shan County to meet and talk at 9 o'clock in the morning, which made the hearts of Youpeng and others in Shan County finally let go, and they were worried that Xiao Zhenlei had been hanging on to them, and they didn't know that things had finally taken a turn for the better until they received the notice.

At 8:55 a.m., several cars stopped at the entrance of the presidential palace, and Youpeng of Shan County, Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple and two accompanying staff and interpreters were allowed to enter after some inspection, and they were led to the reception hall for foreign guests by Chinese staff, Xiao Zhenlei panted and stood in the middle of the hall in a very formal Chinese costume and waited, but when Youpeng and others in Shan County were brought in, he did not come forward to greet them, but waited on the spot for Youpeng and others in Shan County to come over.

Yama County Youpeng looks very old, his face is a little thin, his cheekbones are high, his short hair, eyebrows, and short beard are all white, he is in good spirits with a cane, and he looks very tough, and he is worthy of being a Japanese veteran from a military background.

And Xiyuan Temple Gongwang's age is 11 years younger than Shan County Youpeng, he is Ito Hirobumi's proud protégé, after Ito Hirofumi's death, the political zhì forces of this department rely on Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and Shan County Youpeng to fight in the ring, but with the current situation, the two can't fight even if they want to.

"There are friends in Shan County (Xiyuan Temple Gongwang) to meet His Excellency the Honorable President!" The two came to Xiao Zhenlei and stood side by side and bowed, and the two staff members and interpreters behind them also had to bow and salute.

Xiao Zhenlei in order to realize his strategic intentions, he still decided to give Shan County Youpeng and others some peace of mind, let them cooperate willingly, if the Japanese side makes trouble, his strategic intentions will definitely be affected to a certain extent, there is no need to make trouble for himself, or fool the Japanese first, he waited for Shan County Youpeng and Xiyuan Temple Gongwang to bow ninety degrees, stretched out his hand to help them up and said with a smile: "The two are polite, please get up!"
