Chapter 397: Negotiation Interlude

Although the Japanese minister made a compromise on the negotiating ground, he took an extremely tough stance in the ensuing talks, and the first meeting lasted only half an hour before they broke up, and the reason for this was that the two sides had a serious disagreement on the issue of reparations.

Zhou Longguang, director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent by the Nanjing government, felt that such a stalemate would not be a way to continue, and if Chairman Wu was embarrassed to lower the negotiation standards for the sake of face, then he would not mind being this "good person"; of course, he was also selfish; originally he was not valued by his superiors, and he was not on good terms with his colleagues, but now that he had the opportunity to show his ability, he could no longer grasp it, and if Chairman Wu delayed the negotiations, he would inevitably be attacked by his colleagues in the ministry and held accountable by his superiors, and it would be inevitable that he would lose his official position and leave his post at that time.

So, in the evening of the same day, he sneaked out of the barracks and rushed to the Jiaoji Railway Hotel in the city to meet the Japanese minister.

Kenkichi Yoshizawa was having a headache over how to determine the terms of the negotiations, and when he heard that the deputy negotiator had visited him overnight, an inexplicable excitement rose in his heart, and he realized that things were likely to take a turn for the better.

As soon as Zhou Longguang entered the house, he greeted Kenkichi Yoshizawa in standard Kansai dialect Japanese.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry to disturb you overnight."

When Kenkichi Yoshizawa heard his authentic Japanese, a professional smile appeared on his face, and he said that this person had studied in Japan, and talking to him in Japanese was nothing more than a show of goodwill, and it seemed that things were really progressing in the direction he expected.

"Don't bother, Your Excellency, please take a seat." He lukewarmly invited Zhou Longguang to take a seat, and then he was silent and did not rush to ask.

The two of them sat speechless, Zhou Longguang was embarrassed, so he had to cough dryly to explain his intentions:

"Your Excellency, the contemptible people have come here to exchange views privately on the terms of negotiation."

"Oh, I'm willing to hear about it."

Fang Ze Qianji's attitude was still not salty or light, but Zhou Longguang was sweating profusely, and he sorted out his thoughts.

"When the contemptible people came to Jinan, Chairman Jiang once explained that as long as they returned to China and were willing to withdraw their troops, everything else would be easy to talk about."

"What a good way to talk."

"Yes, you don't need to pay compensation, as long as you return to the country and withdraw the troops, it's easy to discuss."

Fang Ze Qianji was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up and laughed loudly, he did not hide the true feelings in his heart in front of the Zhi Na people, he was secretly funny, he still had a headache for a long time, and he also stood up while watching Zhou Longguang, looking at himself Ai Ai, and said in his heart that this Zhi Na surnamed Zhou is a lovely person, and he is here to solve problems for himself, since the Zhi Na person compromises so easily, he decided to come to a lion to open his mouth.

"In addition to not having to bear the indemnity, your country must punish the officials who have previously harmed the Japanese and overseas Chinese, and it is strictly forbidden to spread propaganda against Japan, and there must be no Chinese garrison 20 miles along the Jiaoji Railway."

"This."

Zhou Longguang gasped, he never expected that the Japanese would be so greedy, not only did they not pay compensation, but also took revenge on those officers and soldiers who fought patriotically, how could he agree, if he agreed, would he still have a place in the national government.

"This, this, despise the human rights and the lowly position, and dare not make decisions without permission......"

Fang Ze Qianji laughed again, and said coldly unceremoniously: "If you can be the master who doesn't pay compensation, how can you not be the other master, you hide from Wu Xiaoliang to come to me to talk about this, I'm not afraid that he will know and shoot you." ”

Zhou Longguang was frightened by Fang Ze Qianji, and couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Wu Xiaoliang's cold gaze, but he still said calmly: "I am representing the Nanjing National Government, on behalf of Chairman Jiang, what authority does the chairman of a province have to take measures against me." ”

Having said that, but his heart is getting more and more bottomless, he has begun to doubt whether it is right or wrong to secretly come to see Fang Ze Qianji tonight, don't negotiate anymore, but put the responsibility for this compromise on his own alone, in case he is really made a scapegoat by the surnamed Wu, how wronged it is.

Fang Ze Qianji sneered for a while, and he didn't argue, "You convey my opinion to Wu Xiaoliang, and China and Japan can only talk on this basis." After his initial excitement cooled down, he carefully sorted out the current situation, and felt that he was too optimistic to believe in Zhou Longguang's ability, although the person in front of him may indeed have been taught face-to-face by Jiang Zhongzheng in Nanjing, but in front of people like Wu Xiaoliang, who are as strong as straw paper and fart, he has no effect, and his real negotiating opponent is still Wu Xiaoliang.

Therefore, it is impossible to bypass Wu Xiaoliang in terms of negotiation conditions, and after figuring this out, Fang Ze Qianji lost interest in Zhou Longguang, waved his hand and ordered someone to drive him out, chattering Zhou Longguang After Zhou, the room was quiet, and he stood in front of the window and stared at the night outside.

Yoshizawa Kenkichi suddenly figured it out and forced General Shina to compromise, but the main battlefield should not be at this negotiating table, and in the end force and pressure must be used, and the negotiations will not be fruitful, Major General Saito of the 11th Brigade is a fanatical militant of the 6th Army of the Imperial Kingdom, and this task is very suitable for him.

On December 3, Wu Xiaoliang was shocked by the news from the direction of Tai'an, Han Fuyu rebelled, tore up the agreement reached before, and attacked the security brigade stationed at Dawenkou, killing and wounding each other, and then he received the news that the 11th Brigade was ordered to go south.

Wu Xiaoliang realized that this series of actions was by no means isolated, but interlocking, and that Han Fuyu should be backed by the Japanese, and Saito's southward movement was the evidence of this speculation, and he could not sit idly by and watch the Japanese army be so rampant, and at the time of the negotiations, he was still dispatching troops in Shandong, China, so he immediately sent people to the Japanese garrison headquarters in the Jiaoji Railway Hotel to lodge a strong protest.

The reason given by the Japanese is still nothing new, the Japanese expatriates encountered an accident in the Tai'an area, the Japanese army went south to protect overseas Chinese, and never participated in China's internal affairs, this explanation made Wu Xiaoliang angry, really deceived me China no one that, suddenly the thought in his heart moved to pick up the pen and write on the letterhead, after the pen was folded, and the guards were called, and a few words of whispering handed over the folded letterhead to him.

The guards changed into civilian clothes and left the barracks and headed straight for the city.

Wu Xiaoliang sneered and said to himself: "You Fangze Qianji did the first year of junior high school, and I, Wu Xiaoliang, will make a fifteenth for you." ”

As the talks continued on 4 December, the two sides were arguing over the withdrawal of troops and the payment of reparations, and Zhou Longguang could not help but secretly exchange views with Wu Xiaoliang during a break.

"When the humble post came to Jinan, Chairman Jiang gave him a face-to-face lecture, and when he couldn't do anything, he didn't need to pay compensation." Before the words fell, Zhou Longguang only felt a sharp pain on his face, and then there was a loud noise, which turned out to be a porcelain lid that fell to the ground and shattered, Wu Xiaoliang smashed a bowl of hot tea and a bowl of water on his face.
