Chapter 245: Too Much Deception?
After receiving the notice from the Japanese government, Komura Shoutaro did not dare to slack off, and immediately found Ren Chao again. Ren Chao met with Komura Shoutaro very politely this time.
"In the past few days, my government must have investigated clearly, right? I have not wronged you? Framed you, right? Ren Chao asked with a smile. In the past few days, Ren Chao has not been idle, and the photos of Japan's atrocities have been published in the newspapers, some time ago Ren Chao ran a newspaper in Shandong, and Ren Chao published these photos on the first page, which immediately caused a sensation, and foreign newspapers rushed to reprint them, which caused a lot of repercussions in the world, making the Japanese government's situation more passive, and at the same time opening up the reputation of this new newspaper.
"This~! With regard to the DPRK incident, the Chinese Government has conducted an on-the-spot investigation, and the Locust Army has indeed committed some excesses, for which the Chinese Government apologizes. However, the locust soldiers who committed the murder have already received the punishment they deserve, and for the sake of the friendship between the two countries for generations, our government is eager to hope that this matter can be resolved peacefully so that the dispute will not arise again, and at the same time, in accordance with the provisions of the peace treaty, I ask the Hou Ye to order your troops to withdraw from our Osumi Islands. Komura Shoutaro said politely.
"Yes! It's like a human saying. We can accept your Government's apology, and I have always advocated a peaceful resolution of the matter so as not to cause further casualties. Ren Chao nodded lightly and said.
What do you mean, this is still like a human saying? Komura Shoutaro couldn't help but have a trace of anger on his face, but he didn't dare to come out. Ren Chao is rude and arrogant, I will take him for a fart! Komura Shoutaro could only seek self-comfort in his heart, and under the pressure of the anger in his heart, Komura Shoutaro asked with a smile, "In that case, I don't know when Lord Hou plans to withdraw his troops from the Osumi Islands?" ”
"It depends on your country's attitude, and when your government wants us to withdraw our troops, we will withdraw our troops." Ren Chao said with a smile on his face.
Komura Shoutaro wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. I heard it wrong, when did this Ren Chao become so good at talking. "Is this true?" Komura Shoutaro held back the excitement in his heart and asked urgently.
"My officer's words always count." Ren Chao said very strictly.
"That's natural, Hou Ye is a big hero, a big hero, naturally he won't go back on his word, and the contemptible people and the Chinese government are still very relieved about Hou Ye's integrity." Komura Shoutaro said with a smile on his face.
"It's just that people think that the Osumi Islands are an overseas island, and the conditions are very difficult, and your soldiers are stationed there. It's inevitable that it's hard, so it's better to withdraw the troops as much as possible. Komura Shoutaro said with a smile.
"Look! The Japanese are just polite, and they are still worried about the living conditions of our soldiers. Ren Chao turned his head to Niu Kaixuan who was standing next to him and said, after speaking, Ren Chao turned his head to Komura Shoutaro and said, "Here I thank your government for your concern in advance." In fact, we didn't want to stay in that ghost place where birds don't for a long time, we wanted to withdraw our troops for a long time, but there have been too many things recently, and there has been such a thing as North Korea, so it has been delayed. Now the problem of North Korea has also been solved. So let's do it first! As soon as you give us the compensation, we will withdraw our troops. ”
"Reparations? What compensation? Komura Shoutaro listened to Ren Chao's previous words, and his heart was already happy, and this unlucky errand was finally coming to an end. Can Komura Shoutaro not be happy? But Ren Chao's last sentence made Komura Shoutaro fall into an ice cave, why did he come out to compensate again?
"Of course, it's your Japanese government that has given us compensation, why can't Minister Komura remember." The smile on Ren Chao's face gradually disappeared. looked at Komura Shoutaro with deep meaning.
"This~! It is clearly written in the peace treaty that the government of your country has already taken the initiative to give up the matter of reparations? I have a copy of the peace here. Do you want to take another look. Komura Shoutaro said and beckoned to his entourage, who immediately rushed to his briefcase and pulled out a copy of the peace agreement.
"You don't need to look at it, the official has read it more than a hundred times, and he is already familiar with it." Ren Chao waved his hand and said, "The compensation mentioned in the peace treaty is from the beginning of the war to the signing of the peace treaty, and during this period of time, your country has exempted me from the losses and other indemnities caused by our Qing Dynasty. However, the indemnity I am talking about is the loss caused by your Japan to our Qing Dynasty after the peace treaty, and this indemnity can no longer be waived. ”
"After the peace treaty was signed?" Komura asked with a confused expression.
"It seems that the minister of the small village is really old and confused, and he forgot about it so quickly. As I told you before, when your Japanese army retreated, you killed the Korean people and plundered the people's property, and your Japanese government must compensate for these losses, and because of the actions of your government, our Tiger Army has always been stranded in the Osumi Islands and cannot retreat, and the military expenses incurred during this period should also be borne by your Japanese government. These are small amounts of money, and even if your Japanese government is poor, you will always lose it! Ren Chao said unceremoniously.
What the? You ambushed our Japanese locust army for no reason, and all the jade of more than 10,000 people in our locust army was shattered, and it would be good if our Japanese Empire didn't ask you for compensation! At this time, you are still licking your face and asking us for compensation, do you still want to be faced? We, the Japanese Empire, are magnanimous, and we don't care about this matter with you, and we have promised that we will not be guilty of this matter in the past, and you are not even satisfied, and you are not so bullying! Komura Shoutaro is angry in his heart! But if he wants to openly turn his face with Ren Chao, he doesn't have the guts, Komura Shoutaro can only suppress the anger in his heart, and said coldly, "Master Hou, everyone is a smart person, what is going on in North Korea, everyone knows it in their hearts, Master Hou still don't deceive people too much." ”
"Huh!" Ren Chao sneered and said, "It's because I'm deceiving people too much." You are right, you and I know the DPRK affairs in our hearts, and you have just expressed humility on behalf of your government, and I have accepted it, but the issue of compensation cannot but be discussed. You say that I deceive people too much, and when your army kills people and sets fires in North Korea, that is the real deception of people too much! ”
"You~!" Komura Shoutaro was speechless for a while, but after calming down, the reason why this Ren Chao is so aggressive may be just to blackmail some money. After all, how many people in this world don't love money? Thinking that the government had already said that Ren Chao would agree to withdraw his troops at any cost, thinking of these small villages Shoutaro thought about exploring Ren Chao's bottom first, "Then according to Hou Ye's meaning, how much will our country pay for compensation, and Hou Ye is willing to withdraw his troops in the Osumi Islands?"
