After Japan's surrender, the Chinese army quickly occupied all parts of Japan, including important places such as the Imperial Palace, all of which were garrisoned by the Chinese army. The Imperial Palace is not accessible to the general public, and only those with a special pass are allowed to enter.

As the British envoy plenipotentiary to China, it was very easy for him to get a special pass to enter the palace where Chinese troops were standing guard, and there was no reason for the Chinese side to prevent him from visiting the Japanese Emperor Taisho.

Emperor Taisho looked at Zhu Erdian, who was sitting next to him, and asked, "What did you do here, sir?" ”

Zhu Erdian smiled: "Without him, I am here to save Your Majesty!" ”

Although Emperor Taisho was a little nervous, he was not really a nervous disorder, and his face changed when he heard it, and he said in a deep voice: "Why did Mr. say this? My health is very good, this palace is also very safe, there are elite soldiers of the Chinese army stationed outside, who dares to disadvantage me? ”

Zhu Erdian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is deceiving yourself, won't Your Majesty be naïve to think that the duty of those Chinese soldiers outside is really to protect Your Majesty?" Are they afraid that they are spying on His Majesty and putting him under house arrest? Do you know that a few days ago, at the meeting of judges of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, the representative of the Kingdom of Korea, Li Weizhong, proposed to treat His Majesty as a war criminal and try His Majesty, and that Li Weizhong was a diehard loyalist of the Korean king Yi Hee, do you think about what the Japanese army did in Korea a few years ago, Li Xi was the king of Korea, and the Japanese army killed his most beloved queen, do you think he will let you go? And also. The Japanese army killed so many people in Siberia, the Liaodong Peninsula, Wandao and other places, that Russia in Siberia was almost exterminated. Those survivors want to eat your flesh and drink your blood because they think it's all you're responsible. After all, you are the emperor of Japan, and the Japanese army would not dare to do this without your consent! What's more, the Chinese side has not yet expressed a position on this matter, but I think they may be more inclined to agree with Li Weizhong's proposal! ”

After listening to Zhu Erdian's words, Emperor Taisho's timid and cowardly character played a role, his face turned pale with fright, and the beads of sweat on his forehead kept dripping down, and he hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Zhu Erdian's hand: "I don't want to die." I don't want to die, sir, save me, save me! ”

Seeing Emperor Taisho's appearance, Zhu Erdian smiled in his heart, the fish was finally hooked, and it was easy to do. He then comforted Emperor Taisho: "Your Majesty rest assured, rest assured, as long as Your Majesty is willing to cooperate with our British Empire, I promise that Your Majesty will not be harmed." And we will do our best to make sure that Japan retains its own power! ”

Emperor Taisho's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What? Is what the sir said true? Can you really keep our country independent? ”

Zhu Erdian said with a smile: "Of course, a Japan that is not controlled by China and can maintain its independence is in the interests of the British Empire, if Japan is controlled by China." This is not only bad for our British Empire, but also extremely bad for other European countries, and not good for the United States on the other side of the ocean. I believe that the vast majority of countries do not want China to be dominant in the Far East without containment, but want Japan to remain independent. It would not have been possible without our British Empire taking the lead in supporting it, so Your Majesty must believe me. There is only a way out if we work with the British Empire".

Emperor Taisho wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and asked, "How does Sir want us Japan to cooperate with your country?" ”

Zhu Erdian said with a smile: "First, we can provide loans for Japan's post-war reconstruction, of course, the interest rate may be a little higher, but Your Majesty can rest assured that the interest will definitely be within the range that Japan can afford. In exchange, Japan hopes that His Majesty will agree to lease Kagoshima to Japan as a military base in the Far East for a period of ninety-nine years! ”

Taisho Emperor: "This ??????".

It's not that Emperor Taisho is unwilling, but Zhu Erdian's conditions are too generous, and he only needs to pay a 99-year lease in Kagoshima to keep Japan independent, and he can also get a large loan for post-war reconstruction, where can I find such a good thing? These conditions were so generous that Emperor Taisho was a little overwhelmed, making him a little unable to believe that it was true, so he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and he himself was not a particularly assertive person.

Zhu Erdian observed Emperor Taisho's expression, and thought that Emperor Taisho felt embarrassed, after all, to give up Kagoshima as a leased land, which would be a loss of power and humiliation in the West, so he thought that he understood Emperor Taisho's feelings very well, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to make a decision now, can I wait, is two days enough?" I will come back in two days to listen to His Majesty's decision, and if His Majesty has nothing else to do, I will take my leave! ”

Emperor Taisho unconsciously coped: "Oh, oh, oh! ”

Soon after Zhu Erdian left, Ding Qiang, the main person in charge of the Japanese branch of the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau, also rushed to the palace with his men, and the squad leader of the Chinese army guarding the gate of the Japanese palace saw Ding Qiang and the others bulging in their waists, obviously carrying weapons, thinking that they had bad intentions, and immediately shouted: "Who is it? The palace is important, and idle people are not allowed to approach! Those who trespass on the palace will be killed."

With a loud shout from the squad leader, the Chinese soldiers behind him immediately pulled the bolt to load the bullet, and aimed the muzzle at Ding Qiang and the others.

Although Ding Qiang is angry, there is no way, everyone is a different system, not under each other, and he knows very well that agents and intelligence officers are only suitable for activities on the edge of the black and white worlds, and if they want to face the regular army, it is purely an act of seeking death.

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, brothers in front, don't get me wrong!" Ding Qiang hurriedly raised his hands and said, "I have special authorization!" ”

The squad leader guarding the gate of the palace suspiciously took the authorization letter handed over by an agent and Ding Qiang's certificate, and after checking the authorization letter and documents in detail, the squad leader returned the certificate to Ding Qiang, and stood up and saluted: "I'm sorry, sir, where the duty lies, please forgive me!" I wonder what happened to the Governor coming to the palace? ”

Ding Qiang shook his head and said, "This matter is not something you can know, are you sure you want to know?" ”

The squad leader's face changed, he pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him saw that they all collected their guns and retreated to the side, Ding Qiang said to the squad leader: "I want to see your top person here!" ”

The squad leader explained to the soldiers behind him, and then shook his head at Ding Qiang: "Follow me!" ”

Ding Qiang soon met the top person in charge here, a company commander Li. Company Commander Li's attitude was completely different from that of the squad leader standing guard, he was very enthusiastic about Ding Qiang and others, and expressed his willingness to cooperate with Ding Qiang's work, which made Ding Qiang have to sigh the correctness of the truth that "the king of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult".

"Company Commander Li, did the British envoy Zhu Erdian come just now?"

Company Commander Li was surprised: "Yes, is Chief Ding here for him?" Could it be that Zhu Erdian is engaged in espionage activities and needs you, the great god, to personally intervene? ”

"It's not like that, but it's not far off!" Ding Qiang touched his head and asked again, "How long did Zhu Erdian talk with Emperor Taisho just now?" Who was there besides the two of them? ”

"How long?" Company Commander Li touched his nose, thought for a while and said, "It's probably less than thirty minutes, the two of them should be talking alone, but there are two chamberlains at the door!" ”

Ding Qiang's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Company Commander Li, I want to send two people to be stationed here, but don't worry, they won't interfere with your daily affairs, just treat them as if they don't exist, and they won't do anything to embarrass you, you see??????? ”

Hearing this, Company Commander Li smiled and said, "What should I do, that's it?" Okay, I promised! But there is one thing, since they are always here, they can't go out casually, and if they want to communicate with the outside, they can only contact them by phone until you order them to evacuate."

"That's fine, it won't embarrass you!" Ding Qiang immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate with the work, and said: "Company Commander Li, I want to meet the two chamberlains who were guarding the door just now, I want to know what Zhu Erdian and Emperor Taisho talked about, I suspect that Emperor Taisho may secretly reach an agreement with Zhu Erdian, if they reach any agreement, this is undoubtedly unfavorable to our country, and some means may be used against them later, so ???????."

When Company Commander Li heard this, he hurriedly said: "I understand, I understand, even if Chief Ding lets go, I don't see it, by the way, I'll find you a remote and quiet room."

"Thank you, thank you!"

The two waiters who were waiting outside the door were quickly brought over, and after Ding Qiang's interrogation, the two of them successively said what they heard, and the situation they said was basically the same, but there were also subtle differences, which was normal, and this slight difference did not affect Ding Qiang's judgment, and it was enough to figure out a few key issues.

After Ding Qiang got the answer he wanted to know, he immediately came out of the palace and made a phone call to Lu Zhengxiang, reporting to Lu Zhengxiang the content of the conversation between Zhu Erdian and Emperor Taisho that he had investigated.

Although Lu Zhengxiang learned the content of the conversation between Zhu Erdian and Emperor Taisho, he had no way to deal with it, after all, a complete Japan can play a certain role in restraining China, which other Western countries, including the United States, understand, so these countries will definitely support Britain's proposal to let Japan remain independent, of course, this excludes war reparations, after all, Japan is a defeated country and should bear the terms of defeat.
