There was a soft squeak, and the sound of the electric doorbell rang. The iron door of this small villa on Duolun Road in Shanghai suddenly opened. An old man's porter copied the official dialect with some Hunan accents, looked at the person at the door, and asked suspiciously: "This gentleman, are you ......" Standing at the door was a middle-aged man in a dress, thin and small, but he was straight, and he knew at a glance that he was from a military background.

The smile of the visitor was very polite, but his eyes were full of sadness: "Oh, I have made an appointment with Runshuai to meet him today." My surname is Okamura, this is my business card, and a letter from Mr. Tiger, please pass it on. The so-called "Mr. Tiger" is none other than Chang Ruiqing's father, Chang Laohu, and now his old man is the number one big man on the beach, and he has to sell him a little face in all aspects

When the old man heard the name of "Old Mr. Tiger", he immediately showed a chūn-like smile: "It turned out to be a friend of Mr. Tiger, please come in, please come in!" The man nodded, and the old man opened the iron door, made a solemn gesture, and led him into the drawing-room. The visitor took off his hat and looked at the small living room with a beautiful layout. Then he asked the porter: "What about Runshuai?" ”

"Please wait." The old porter smiled and nodded at the visitor, and then went upstairs. It seems that he invited that Runshuai to go. The person who came was Okamura Ninji, who is now a member of the delegation to the peace talks. However, he did not often appear at the peace talks, but circled among the political and business figures in Shanghai, advocating the "rì Huahe state theory". It has fooled many people who have heads and faces on the beach, but his remarks do not seem to represent the temporary zhèngfǔ. In the formal negotiations, it was not raised

The "Runshuai" that Okamura Ningji is going to see today is none other than Mao Zd, chairman of the Central G. This bungalow is also the latest purchase by Chairman Mao Da. Nowadays, the leaders of Nanjing zhèngfǔ like to spend their weekends in Shanghai, a world of flowers. Mao ZD seems to be no exception, and he will bring Yang Kaihui and several of his children to Shanghai every weekend. I don't know why, but I'm more familiar with Okamura Ningji, and it seems that Chairman Mao is also quite interested in the "rì Huahebang theory".

There was a soft sound on the stairs. Mao Zd, who was wearing a robe, walked down from above, still holding a Wen Jiàn clip in his hand, I don't know what is inside?

"Mr. Okamura, you've come just in time. I've got something to show you. Mao Zd walked up to Okamura with a smile and shook his hand, and then pointed to the sofa and motioned for him to sit down, and sat opposite Okamura himself. Then he handed the bunjiàn clip in his hand to Okamura.

"What is this?" Okamura took the text and looked at it, and it was actually a secret treaty written in the Chinese language! And it still looks like the original!

Mao ZD smiled faintly, this document is the original of a "Secret Treaty between China and G" signed by Zhong Zhijie, head of the China G International Delegation to GC, and Katayama Qian, chairman of the GCD. The content is that the Far East coast, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands and their surrounding affiliated islands are ceded to China. Recognition of North Korea, Republic of Korea, etc. In exchange for China's non-interference in the revolution, it did not sign any binding peace treaty.

"Mr. Okamura, what do you think of this treaty? Can you sign a copy according to such a standard? ”

Okamura Ninji's eyes flickered, and he looked very complicated. "Mr. President, the authenticity of this article ...... true"

Mao Zd wiped a cigarette, took a few puffs and said, "Of course this article is true, what is there to doubt about this?" Lenin and Trotsky could not hesitate to cede land to Germany and you in order to seize power in Russia, so why can't Katayama do the same now? Of course. In the future, when the GCD establishes Soviet power in the whole country, whether they will unite with the Soviet Union to come to us is another matter. ”

Hear the name of Soviet power. Okamura's eyelids jumped, but he quickly regained his composure. He said coldly: "It seems that Mr. Mao didn't put the future Soviet hand in his eyes at all!" ”

Looking at Okamura's calm face, Mao ZD smiled indifferently, leaned on the back of the sofa with some fat bodies, and sneered: "What about Mr. Okamura?" What do you think is the chance of victory for the future alliance between China and France? By the way, Britain and the United States must also be on our side, right? ”

His words rang in Okamura's ears like thunder and lightning. The Soviet Union was indeed very powerful, but its enemies were also not easy to mess with. If Rì had become a Soviet republic and had been on the ship of the Soviet Union, he would definitely have to go to war with such powers as Britain, the United States, France, and Germany in the future! If you win, it will hurt your muscles and bones, and if you can't win, you will probably lose the country and destroy the species, right?

Seeing that Okamura Ninji didn't speak, Mao Zd just sneered and said slowly: "Mr. Okamura also feels unsure, right?" But what can be done now to stop Rìben from sliding step by step into the abyss of this world revolution? With the secret agreement signed by Katayama, we in China will no longer interfere in the revolution. By the way, now that the combined fleet has also sailed to Manila, the Americans have nothing to worry about, and perhaps they are still looking forward to being ruled by the GCD, so that they can disarm the combined fleet in a good name! So there is no country in this world that will come to the rescue. But you still have a chance to save yourself! ”

"Self-help?" Okamura Ningji hesitated for a moment and said, "Runshuai means ......"

Mao Zd smiled faintly: "Rì Huahebang! ”

"I'm afraid it won't happen overnight, will it?"

"You don't need to really get along, just have a name!"

"A name?"

"You will be able to preserve your own nation at a critical moment! Mr. Okamura, do you understand what you mean by being contemptible? ”

……

Shanghai Hongkou, the former Consulate General in Shanghai, is now the residence of the Consulate General in Shanghai.

On November 8, the head of the negotiation delegation, Kita Kazuki, unprecedentedly pushed off all diplomatic activities and just nested in his study. I looked at a telegram steadily, and I don't know how long I had been reading it. Okamura Ninji sat across from him, also facing Tetsu Ao.

"It's over! It's all over! "In the end. Kita Yihui's hand trembled, threw the newspaper on the table, covered his face with a pair of somewhat dry hands, and sighed deeply: "Takahashi has done something stupid...... 200 million dollars were thrown away in vain, and there are too many rì coins on the market, much more than expected, at least 1 billion more. What's going on...... As soon as the rì coin collapses, our temporary zhèngfǔ will be gone even if the general trend has gone......"

“…… But where did so many rì coins come from? Takahashi is not a fool, and he still has so many financial experts around him. How could such a low-level mistake be made? Could it really be that Amaterasu wants us to perish? It was already a mess of internal and external troubles, but now that the financial plate has collapsed again, Hirohito and GCD are going to attack again, how should we deal with it? Where do the officers and soldiers below still have any fighting spirit? It's really all over! ”

Listening to Kita Kazuki's desperate tone. Okamura Ninji's eyes were also darkened. I almost fainted. He also doesn't know much about economics. Of course, I don't understand why the economy, which was thriving a few months ago, collapsed completely all of a sudden. Even the Combined Fleet was "mortgaged" to the Americans for money, but in the end there was no way to survive at all.

Now the whole rì ben is condemning the temporary zhèngfǔ, as if the rì ben has fallen to this point completely because of the reactionary traitor of these people! The culprit, Hirohito, turned over as a salted fish, and was praised by GCD as the Red Emperor and the Emperor of the Revolution! It seems that it won't take much time to return to Tokyo and regain power, but I don't know if it will be the emperor or the chairman? And his own faction is laborious. In the end, it is estimated that it is a hat of a national thief!

Okamura Ninji took a deep breath. Leaning over to get closer to Bei Yihui, he whispered: "Beijun, there is no way, it seems that you can only use one last move to see if you can drag the Chinese into the water!" ”

Hearing this, a trace of panic slipped across Kita Yihui's face, and he looked up at Okamura Ninji: "Okamura-kun, is there no other way?" ”

Okamura Ninji said coldly: "Beijun." Without the full help of the Chinese, we will not be able to save the situation in any way! Even if it is really a Chinese state, it is better than turning it into a Soviet state! There will always be a day in the future! If GCD had come up, we would have been doomed! ”

Kita Kazuki's eyes widened, and he just looked at Okamura Ninji. Okamura's face was so blue that it was about to drip water, and he gritted his teeth and said, "And now Hebang is definitely not a loss for us rì himself...... Our own education level and dedication and diligence are far superior to those of the Chinese, so we will definitely be able to obtain a more superior economic status than we are now. As for the status of the government, it can be guaranteed by the treaty of the United States, and the name of the Republic of China should be retained, and it must also have the right to formulate its own constitution, retain a certain number of national guards, and maintain a certain proportion of soldiers and officers in the army and navy of the unified national defense force after the union...... In addition, we can also demand the establishment of a Far Eastern Republic in the Far Eastern Regions and a Republic of Korea on the Korean Peninsula, both as part of the future East Asian Federation, so that the future Republic of China will not dominate the Federation! ”

Kita Yihui pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Okamura-kun!" At present, the situation in the country has become so bad that even if the Chinese are willing to save the country, they do not have such national strength. Although China is big, it is still very backward economically, and although they have won a big victory in this war with us, they are also close to exhaustion, and they will not put their strength into the bottomless pit of the civil war! ”

Okamura Ninjijin did not move, and said coldly: "If Hirohito and GCD win the civil war, what will be the fate of Rìmoto?" I'm afraid it will become a Soviet state and be tied to the chariot of the USSR! How much does Beijun think the Soviet Union will win in the next world war? ”

Bei Yihui was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head after being silent for a long time: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say...... Now it seems that Trotsky in the Soviet Union was not an ordinary person, and it is really difficult to conclude what the outcome of the next world war will be. ”

Okamura Ninji sneered: "What's so hard to draw conclusions? It is nothing more than two possibilities, one is the victory of the Soviet Union and the transformation of the whole world; The second is the defeat of the Soviet Union, and the failure of rì Ben with it! Bei-kun, what will be the consequences if Rìmoto loses a world war? ”

"I am afraid that I will perish my country and become a slave of the victor forever!"

"If the USSR fails. Who will be the winner? ”

"China, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and perhaps the United States...... Alas, it's really crazy, how can you be the enemy of so many powerful countries! ”

"Nope. No, there will be no China among the victors, but an East Asian federation! Okamura smiled heavily. At that time, the Commonwealth of East Asia was like East Prussia and Germany...... If Germany is victorious and Soviet Germany in East Prussia is destroyed, how can the Germans treat their compatriots in East Prussia as slaves? ”

Kita Yihui was stunned and stunned, and he couldn't speak with his mouth open for a while. Okamura went on to say, "As long as we negotiate a rì Huahe state in Shanghai, and then preemptively approve it before the fall of Tokyo...... Although not fully compliant with the legal process. However, the Republic of China can barely be regarded as a member of the East Asian Federation. If the Soviets are defeated in the future, our Republic of China will be regarded as a victorious country along with the East Asian Federation, and the people will naturally not become slaves of the country. If the Soviets rì Ben side wins. At most, we will be executed as rìjiān, and rì will become the preeminent power in Asia! In other words, no matter who wins or loses in the next world war, our own nation will be the victor! ”

Kita Yihui nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream: "I see!" I see...... Okamura-kun's strategy is truly unparalleled in the world! I'm going to generate electricity for Tokyo. Report your mention to Your Excellency Xiyuan Temple. He was requested to grant it. ”

……

The unprecedentedly large fluctuations caused by the official proposal of the negotiating delegation to the establishment of the "rì Hua Hebang" may not have been expected even by the two "great rìjiān" of the initiators, Kita Kazuki and Okamura Ninji. Although there was already a "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association" jumping up and down to publicize this matter, it was a non-governmental organization after all, and most of it was directed by China's intelligence agencies. And this time, it was officially proposed by the deputy consul of the provisional consul of the Republic of China on behalf of the Republic of China in the peace negotiations!

As soon as the news came out, large-scale demonstrations and rallies took place in major cities in China and Rìben almost simultaneously. Of course, the Chinese side unanimously supported it, and both the newspapers and the people all called on the people to accept the demands of the rì side, and in the future, they would be integrated with the rì. Let's coexist and prosper together! And the rì ben is a street scuffle, and it is also the largest street brawl since the founding of the Republic of China.

The rì people who supported and opposed the alliance were around the Tokyo Imperial Palace, Yoyogi Training Ground, and Rì Hiya Park. There is also a street fight on an unprecedented scale held in front of the zhèngfǔ institution in Xiaguan! In the end, the rì himself, who opposed the alliance, was more numerous, and his fists were harder, and he beat the soft-boned rìjiān away, and successfully occupied the streets of Tokyo. This was followed by a massive protest march, with people shouting and cursing loudly with small banners blaming Saionji Gongwang and Kita Yihui. Some people were even more intense, simply holding huge white cloth flags with the bloody words "Heaven punishes the national thief!" ". There were also some people who tied a scarecrow with Chang Ruiqing's name written on it and took it to the open space and burned it together! I'm not afraid of being thundered or something, and for the Rì himself, who believes in the ghosts, this is indeed a very bold protest.

However, they have no reverence for the number one rìjiān Xiyuan Temple, and every day there are many so-called righteous people who carry knives or pistols to wander around the Xiaguan, waiting for the big thieves of Xiyuan Temple to come out for a walk. The Jǐng Cha and the gendarmerie units in Tokyo also did not seem to have much energy during this time, and many key buildings around Kasumigami Pass were attacked, and the official activities of the temporary zhèngfǔ were paralyzed for a while.

The newspaper public opinion of the rì book also bombarded the Xiyuan Temple ** one-sidedly, and he had no ability to govern the country, so he actually wanted to hand over the rì book to foreigners to manage! Although Chang Ruiqing, who took over, is likely to be a god or a descendant of a god, it is also a foreign immortal! How could the people of this country accept the rule of foreign gods? This is absolutely unbearable, even if I would rather sink than accept!

There was an immediate international reaction as well. Both the United Kingdom and the United States have made it clear that the current rìben has no right to make a decision to make a union with China, so it will not be recognized! France, Germany, and Italy, three Chinese allies, gave ambiguous opinions, expressing respect for the choice of the people and the Chinese. Naturally, the Soviet Union's Pravda newspaper was full of critical articles, openly accusing the so-called "Huahebang" of being China's revisionist militarist aggression, and the Soviet people would support the people of the Soviet Union in resolutely resisting such aggression!

As the other side of the current civil war, the Rìmoto GCD has no reaction other than a routine accusation, and they seem to be still preparing for the war to liberate Rìmoto in Hokkaido.

However, in fact, during this time, the "mind-watching" strategy adopted by Rì Ben after breaking through the Kamatsu Strait and occupying Aomori Prefecture made the entire Rì Ben feel a little strange. Calculating the strength of the salvation **, even if it did not receive a lot of assistance from the Soviet Union, it should have the possibility of defeating the temporary zhèngfǔ and seizing Tokyo. However, they surprisingly chose to stand still, and let go of the temporary zhèngfǔ of the current internal and external difficulties in vain, what is this for? Aren't Hirohito and Katayama afraid that their enemies will breathe this sigh of relief? (To be continued.) )
