The base camp has long intended to transfer Matsui Ishine back to the Japanese mainland, and in the 'Panay' incident, Japan has apologized and lost money to the Americans, so there must always be a scapegoat.

Matsui Ishone was unfortunate and became a scapegoat.

The dismissal of a commander of a front army and the return of a country to serve as a senator without any real power were naturally reprimanded.

However, as far as Matsui's injury is concerned, it is a question of whether he will be able to take office after returning to Japan.

Matsui Ishine lay on the hospital bed for a month and a half, and finally received an order to return to China to recuperate from his injuries and report on his work, which was to let him go to his hometown for the New Year.

This was recuperating in Shanghai, and Matsui Shigen had long been hollowed out and became an old man with an empty military rank.

However, what he didn't expect was that today, he, a toothless old man, would still have a chance to exert his residual heat.

"What do you want to do, I won't sign this agreement." Although Matsui Ishine has not yet been removed from office, he has basically been hollowed out, and now he suddenly says that he wants to have an order for him to sign.

As soon as he saw the contents of the agreement, his face immediately fell.

If he signs this order, he will still have good fruit to eat when he returns home, and then he will soon become a sinner of the Japanese Empire.

"Your Excellency, Commander, then we will only have to ask the base camp, and when the base camp orders you to sign this agreement, it will be different."

"Then you can ask the base camp directly." Matsui Ishine said angrily.

"Your Excellency Commander, there are some things that need to be sacrificed and undertaken, your current situation, even if you return to China, I am afraid that you can only retire from active service and go home in peace, if you don't sign, then ......"

"What do you mean, if I don't sign this agreement. What will you do to me? Matsui Ishone said angrily.

"We don't know about this, it's about the reputation of the Japanese Empire, and I don't think you don't understand the reason." Tsukada bowed slightly.

"Are you pushing me?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, please make another contribution to the Empire."

"You agreed to let the Yaksha go and give them a safe passage?" Matsui Ishine shuddered with anger when he saw the specific content of the agreement.

"This is just the content of the agreement, and how to implement it is still up for debate." Tsukada attacked.

"What do you mean?"

"That's what it means. The Empire would not let go of anyone or organization that opposed the Great Japanese Empire, and the Yaksha was no exception. "Tsukada attacked.

"Do you have any other plans?" Matsui Ishine was stunned for a moment, there was something to say in these words, and he could naturally hear it.

"Your Excellency the Commander is going back to China, so I might as well reveal a little ......bit to you," Tsukada took a step forward and whispered in Matsui Ishone's ear.

"Okay, okay, I wonder if this is not what we came up with for His Royal Highness, right?"

Tsukada Tsukasa's face was a little embarrassed. Matsui Ishine is relaxed, although he returned with a pain, he still has little future, and he doesn't know what commander the base camp will send over.

"Who is it, can you tell me, the old man before he leaves?" Although Matsui Ishine can also receive some battle reports now, his energy is limited, so he can only select some important ones to read, and most of them are read to him by his adjutants.

“……”

"It's him. No wonder, only a China expert like him could come up with such an idea. Matsui smiled. No wonder, in addition to the noble status of the royal family of Asaka Palace, does he know how to fight?

In his bones, Matsui Shigen looked down on a royal family like Chaoxiang Palace, if he didn't have the identity of a royal family, which would it be his turn to be the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army?

"Your Excellency, Commander. You should sign this agreement. "Tsukada attacked.

"What about the list, I always want to see the prisoner exchange list?" Matsui asked.

"The list of prisoners proposed by the Chinese side is 1,840, of which 1,540 are official lists and 300 are alternates."

"Alternate. What do you mean? ”

"It is true that the prisoners of war in this list they proposed were all captured by the Japanese Empire, but some of them may be absent for some reason, so they do not know the specific situation of the prisoners in the list, so they put forward a waiting list, and if the official list is deceased, the waiting list will be filled in order." Tsukada explained.

"I see." Matsui nodded.

"Shall I look at the list?"

"Well, I can give the list to Your Excellency the Commander, but after you have read the list, please sign this agreement." Tsukada thought for a moment and said slowly.

Matsui Shigen said in his heart, there must be a problem with the list, but no matter how big the problem is, can it be bigger than the black cauldron on his back?

"Xie Jiyuan, how can there be Xie Jiyuan's name on this list?"

"This ......" Tsukada reached out and lifted his glasses, a little unsure of how to explain it.

"I see, you don't have to explain." Matsui Ishone said with a long sigh.

Tsukada listened to it, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it was okay if he didn't need to explain, if he really wanted him to explain, he didn't know where to start.

"Your Excellency Commander, is there a list of this agreement?"

"Forget it, even if I don't sign it, you will count it on my head, in order for me to return to the mainland safely, I can sign this agreement." Matsui Ishone said slowly.

"Thank you, Commander." Tsukada put his legs together and said with gratitude.

Public Concession, Jiaozhou Road Lonely Military Camp!

Half a month has passed since the panic, and there has been no follow-up to this "prisoner exchange", Xie Jiyuan and the others are anxious, this matter cannot be said to the outside world, and even the subordinates only know about a few core officers.

How can you say it casually if you don't have a word about it, not to mention that once the news leaks and the Japanese know, there will be trouble.

It's almost the New Year, and there is no shortage of supplies in the battalion, but the morale of the army is a little unstable.

This is every festive season, and at this time, who doesn't miss their relatives at home?

Although the officers and soldiers were busy preparing for the New Year, they did not have a festive look on their faces, and they did not feel good in their hearts, they were trapped in this lonely barracks, and they were restricted from entering and leaving, just like prisoners of war.

"Commander. In three days it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, I think after today, I will not go out of the, let the brothers take a rest and prepare for the New Year, right? Yang Rui found the head of the regiment, Xie Jiyuan.

"Yes, yes. How are our New Year's material preparations? ”

"Basically, the fathers and elders in Shanghai donated money and cloth, and made a new set of clothes for each of the brothers, which will be sent to the barracks tomorrow." Yang Ruidao.

"Thank you, folks!" Xie Jiyuan was grateful, how could they survive on this isolated island without them?

"Yes!"

"Where's Zhibiao?"

"I went out, and just now General Smollai sent someone over, saying that he had something important to discuss, and he told me. I hurried away. Yang Rui said.

"It's almost the New Year, what can the British do?"

"No matter what, the British still helped us, otherwise we might have died at the hands of the Japanese." Yang Rui sighed.

Even the British were afraid of the Japanese, not because they were afraid that their interests in China would be damaged.

To put it bluntly, it's still for the sake of profit, of course, to catch them in your hands. The British also have bargaining chips with the Japanese, English gentlemen. That's also goblin's.

"Tuanza, homesick, miss your sister-in-law, right?"

"yes, I don't know how they're doing in their hometown, hey, I'm sorry for them." Xie Jiyuan said lonely. At this time, whoever doesn't want to go home and says they don't want to, it's all fake.

When patrolling the camp at night, Xie Jiyuan saw some soldiers crying secretly with quilts. That's really sad.

"Sister-in-law is from Tianjin, right?"

"Yes, your sister-in-law is from the north, and I'm worried that she won't get used to it when she returns to her hometown, because she can't adapt to the climate and eating habits there." Xie Jiyuan's face was full of worry.

A strong wisp of nostalgia, Yang Rui himself is from Tianjin, and he also sounded his parents and lovers in the occupied area, and he felt very uncomfortable for a while.

"Tuanza, happy event, big happy event...... Shangguan Zhibiao pushed the door in directly.

"Zhibiao is back?"

"Tuanza, happy event, big happy event!" Shangguan Zhibiao repeated excitedly.

"Brother Shangguan, as soon as you entered the door, you shouted a happy event, what kind of happy event is it, but you didn't say a word." Yang Rui asked.

"Tuanzao, Lao Yang, guess what's the happy event?" Shangguan Zhibiao also sold a Guan Zidao.

"Could it be that the British promised that during the Spring Festival, we would be able to enter and leave the barracks freely?" Yang Rui said in surprise.

"It's not!" Shangguan Zhibiao shook his head.

"Who donated a lot of supplies to us?"

Shangguan Zhibiao's mouth opened with a smile, but he still shook his head.

Also, such a thing as donating money will not make Shangguan Zhibiao happy like this, this is not the first time, and no matter how many materials there are, how much can be used if you are trapped here, and what fun is there?

"The British want to remove the Chambers of Nations guards at the gate?"

"Even if you don't win, it's not far away!" Shangguan Zhibiao laughed.

"What the hell is it, you say, it's a hurry." Yang Rui laughed and scolded.

"We're going back!"

"Go back, where are you going? Zhibiao, what are you talking about......" Xie Jiyuan didn't feel much of a surprise at first, but when he looked back, he immediately found that something was wrong, how could Shangguan Zhibiao mention "going back" for no reason?

"Tuanza, we're going to be free!" Shangguan Zhibiao laughed.

"So, that's it?" Huge joy surged up all of a sudden, and Xie Jiyuan found that the blood in his whole body had the feeling of concentrating on his brain.

"Yes, the Japanese Central China Dispatch Army personally informed the directors of the Ministry of Industry and the British side that the care of the lonely military camp will be lifted from today onwards." Shangguan Zhi said.

"What the hell is going on, why was there no news before, and the care was suddenly released?"

"Although the British didn't say it explicitly, but recently the news that the 'Yaksha' negotiated with the Japanese to exchange prisoners was spreading, this time we were able to get free, it was the Yaksha who added us to the prisoner exchange list, the Japanese suffered a loss without knowing it, they didn't expect that there would be us in the list, and it was too late to regret it, so they could only pinch their noses and agree." Shangguan Zhi said.

"I didn't expect it to be like this, no wonder there was no news at all before, and Mr. Wang repeatedly told us to keep it a secret and prepare secretly." Xie Jiyuan said.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"Tuanza, the White Russian Guards outside suddenly withdrew, what's going on?" Staff officer Tang Pingzi walked in impatiently.

"Haha......" Xie Jiyuan and the three of them suddenly laughed.

"Tuanza, what are you laughing at?" Tang Pingzi looked dazed.

"Xiaotang, let me tell you, we're about to regain our freedom."

"Freedom restored, can we go home?"

"It's impossible to go home, we are soldiers, the country is in front of home, but we don't have to stay here, we have to leave here." Xie Jiyuan said sadly, after staying here for a few months, he really felt a little emotional about running a dilapidated military camp like it is now.

"Report, there is a Mr. Wang Mu outside the door asking to see you!"

"Quick, please!"

"Looking at Xie Tuanzuo's red face, you must know?" Wang Mu walked into the regiment headquarters with a large box and said with a smile.

"Mr. Wang, please take a seat." People are in good spirits on happy occasions, although he doesn't like people in the military command, but people can bring him good news, of course he can't put on a stinky face.

"Xiaotang, make tea!"

"The last time I came, I didn't even drink a sip of water from Xie Tuanza?" Wang Mu said with a smile.

"Mr. Wang, don't say it, last time it was Xie who was wrong, please forgive me!"

"Xie Tuanzuo is polite, I, Wang Mu, am not such a stingy person, you are all heroes of the anti-Japanese resistance, and it is understandable that you will inevitably be upset when you suffer from this kind of treatment." Wang Mu smiled magnanimously.

Xie Jiyuan smiled, a little embarrassed.

"I'm here to inform you this time, tomorrow night's train, you will depart from Zhabei and go to Nanjing." Wang Mu Road.

"When you go to Nanjing, don't you want to let us go back, how can you go to Nanjing?"

"The prisoner exchange site is Qinglong Mountain in Nanjing."

"That's not yet in the occupied zone of the Japanese!" Yang Ruidao.

"It's in the Japanese-occupied zone, but you'll join up with the 'Yaksha' and return to the rear later after listening to the arrangement of the 'Yaksha'." Wang Mudao, he is a messenger of orders, and he does not know the specific situation.

Although there was some disappointment, it was much better than being in a lonely military camp, where fate was not at the mercy of oneself, and at one end he went to join his own people, and the Yaksha tossed the Japanese in Nanjing with heavy losses, and was forced to get this prisoner exchange agreement, which shows that the people are still living a very nourishing life in the enemy-occupied area.

"There's a radio here, and there's a communication codebook, which is for you to communicate, and of course, it's better not to let the Japanese find out." Wang Mu picked up the heavy box he had brought and put it on the table.

"Radio!" Xie Jiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, if they had this thing, they would be able to communicate with the outside world, and they would not be trapped here, and their eyes would be blackened by the things outside.

"Next, the British will return your weapons and equipment to you to bring back, but only weapons, no ammunition." Wang Mu Road.

It's good to have weapons, plus ammunition, then you can open fire and fight at any time, can the Japanese rest assured that such a force with strong combat effectiveness will take their own train to Nanjing?

"This is a list, you can buy as much as you can according to the above purchases, and you can take as much as you can take with you the things in the lonely barracks, and you can sell the rest, or you can hand it over to our military commander to help you deal with it." Wang Mu handed over a list and said.

"How much do you have to get so many things?" Xie Jiyuan looked at the list of items and was shocked.

"Money, you don't have to worry, this is 100,000 US dollars, Citibank cashier's check, if it is not enough, you can withdraw it again!" Wang Mu seemed to pull out a check.

"Mr. Wang, can you ask, this medicine is understandable, but what is the use of buying these machines, and asking to unpack and pack, what is this for?"

"I don't know about this, this is the bill of goods handed over by the 'Yaksha', and the money is also from them, so Xie Tuanzuo doesn't have to worry, I'm afraid there is no one in the army of the whole country who is richer than them." Wang Mu said.

Robbed the Japanese of their military salaries, can they run out of money? (To be continued.) )
