Chapter 80: The Miracle of Intelligence The Golden Crow stepped onto the stage
Umezu Mijiro refused to go any further when he came to Shanghai, according to his thinking, even Shanghai should not come, the place of negotiation should be on the territory of the Japanese Empire, and the Chinese should surrender to the territory of Japan in a gesture of surrender. Accepting the contempt of the Japanese people, begging for forgiveness from the Japanese Empire, and leaving their money, goods, and resources in the Empire is what the Empire of Japan should do.
Originally, China's He Yingqin had been shaken, but because of Liu Yuan's accession, they actually forcefully rejected the demands of the Great Japanese Empire, which was absolutely intolerable for Umezu Mijiro, an iron-blooded soldier, if it were not for Okamura Ninji who had been dissuading him, he was already ready to return to China, and with him to talk to the Chinese about this kind of bilateral negotiations, he would rather die on Chinese soil and be buried in the Yasukuni Shrine, what a glorious and great thing.
Umezu Yoshijiro asked for the negotiation to be set in the British Concession, but he did not expect that the damned Chinese would refuse again, and even the Chinese side had already let out the wind, and Liu Yuan, on behalf of the young Zhuang faction of the National Government, opposed the negotiations and hoped to continue the battle.
Okamura Ninji also felt that his dignity was damaged by this, so he hesitated to negotiate for a while, and at this time, the news came that the United States had invited Liu Yuan to the United States, and the American ambassador once hinted to Japan that Liu Yuan was sincerely invited by the President of the United States to go to the United States this time, and if Japan did too much, then it would not want to make a deal with the United States.
Japan is hoarding all kinds of strategic materials through transactions with the United States, and the warning of the United States makes the two have to consider, and at this time, a message came from the cowardly base camp asking them to go to Nanjing for negotiations.
The situation changed rapidly, Okamura Ningji had no choice but to bite the bullet and came to Nanjing with Umezu Mijiro, who was responsible for receiving them was Yu Jishi, who used to communicate with the Japanese Empire on behalf of Chiang Kai-shek, and there was no longer a whisper in the past, which made Okamura Ningji feel more and more uncomfortable.
At this time, another news came that the Nationalist Government had officially appointed Liu Yuan as the deputy envoy for negotiations, and that the central government would award Jiang Xianyun a medal in November, and that this young soldier would be recognized by China as one of the youngest generals in China.
At this time, Okamura Ninji couldn't sit still anymore, this series of changes, so that Okamura Ninji and Umezu Mijiro felt that the future negotiations were definitely not a simple matter, and Japan would have a huge advantage in previous negotiations, so they could slap the table at the negotiating table, humiliate China's representatives, and even ask China to sign the 21st Article, although only part of it was signed at the very end, which was also the glory of the Japanese Empire, and the negotiations between Ito Hirobumi and Li Hongzhang, the head of the Chinese Empire, made every imperial soldier even moreI feel so honored.
Li Hongzhang grovelled and said, "Anyway, Taiwan is already in your country's mouth, so why rush for a while!" β
And the Imperial Ito Hirobumi looked at Li Hongzhang with disdain, and said domineeringly, "I haven't swallowed it yet, I'm even hungrier," what a magnificent moment this is, and now we have to face a difficult negotiation, a negotiation that is not militarily superior.
"Umezu-kun, what do you think about this? Will the empire go well this time?" Ning Ci asked after hesitating for a moment.
"I think this is probably the most difficult negotiation that the empire has conducted since the Meiji Restoration, He Yingqin I know the way, although he is very good, but in his bones, he is afraid of the Japanese Empire, but that Liu Yuan is the key, it is his participation that makes this negotiation more and more passive." Umezu Yoshijiro was also aware of the difficulty of the negotiations, and the toughness shown by the Chinese side this time was beyond his expectations.
"It seems that this Twin Star is not easy to deal with, do you have any information about him?" Okamura forcibly lifted his spirit and asked, "Do you have any information about him?" β
"Yes, and it's very detailed." Umezu replied: "The empire has collected the information of every outstanding young officer in China, and Liu Yuan and Jiang Xianyun are the first two, he used to be a Chinese student, and he founded a young people's organization in his early years, but this organization is very mysterious, and we don't have their specific information until now, but we know that this organization is called the Elite Alliance of Strong Countries, and this organization struggles together in the Chinese dream woven by Liu Yuan." Later, Liu Yuan inexplicably lost contact with this organization and returned to China, became a member of the Whampoa Military Academy, once served as a political instructor of the Whampoa Military Academy, and was the best student of the Whampoa Military Academy, and Sun Yat-sen of China paid great attention to this young man, he was also the sight of the empire at that time, and later he once served as the youngest battalion commander, regiment commander, division commander, army commander, and group army commander in China, and was the youngest lieutenant general and general officer in China, and was the youngest warlord in China. This time the empire in China's Waterloo was the fault of his subordinate Jiang Xianyun, this young man is the biggest enemy of our empire. β
Umezu Mijiro is short, his mustache is not thick, and he looks very delicate, and Okamura is also a very thin figure, but at this moment, the brows of the two are tightly locked, and after a while, Umezu Mijiro sighed and said: "It's a pity that Kenji Dohihara is a waste, Lang has spent so much state-owned assets Since Liu Yuan was called a representative, his intelligence system immediately failed, how can the empire have such a waste." β
"Your Excellency Umezu Mijiro, I think that due to Liu Yuan's joining, China's attitude towards us will become more and more nervous, and their bottom line will definitely improve, and we should report to the base camp as soon as possible." The young Yamamichikawa stood on the side of Gangcun and said with his head bowed, this is a young Imperial soldier, his stature is very thin, he looks about the same height as Gangcun, but his voice is very high-pitched, not at all like an adult.
Yamamichikawa, the best student in the Imperial Army, once skipped a grade in a row and entered the Imperial Army University, and this time the imperial high-level brought him to China to let him see the scene.
This young man once bluntly wrote that it was completely wrong to invade China without adequate preparation, and that the empire should start from the northeast first and slowly encroach on China, rather than blindly sending troops into China.
When the imperial army fell, this young man named Shan Daochuan began to enter the eyes of the empire, and this time his ability to come to China had something to do with his study.
"Well," Umezu Mijiro nodded very happily and said, "The empire has such an excellent young generation as you, which makes me see hope, and then look at Yamamichikawa, he wants to see what this young man's heart is."
He didn't see that this young man was happy because of his praise, but he saw that this young man seemed to be unfinished, so he was very curious and encouraged: "If Shan Daojun has anything to say, we will not bury talents like those old guys in the base camp who are corpses and vegetarian meals." β
"Hi, Your Excellency, General." Yamamichikawa was encouraged by Umezu Mijiro, and he spoke a lot more confidently, "Liu Yuanwei came here from Sichuan to participate in the negotiations, and thought it was because of the relationship between Wang Jingwei and Chiang Kai-shek, although Wang Jingwei contacted this battle against the empire, but he was weak, he advocated making concessions to the empire in the negotiations, and we also got Wang Jingwei's bottom line, but his representative was dismissed by Chiang Kai-shek, what is this for?" He thinks that Chiang Kai-shek is not as weak as we think, or that Chiang Kai-shek is using Liu Yuan, and Chiang Kai-shek hopes that we will put our hatred on Liu Yuan, then we will cross the boundless land of China to deal with the newly rising Liu Yuan, then it is to give Chiang Kai-shek time to develop, which is a very thankless thing for the Japanese Empire."
"Soga, Shan Daojun is really young and promising" Gangcun instantly felt that his thinking was also much clearer and said: "The relationship between the central government represented by Chiang Kai-shek and Liu Yuan's local faction is not very harmonious, this time Chiang Kai-shek appointed Liu Yuan as the deputy envoy for negotiation, which is indeed a very unreasonable thing, China is really a very complicated country, Chiang Kai-shek actually wants to use our strength to achieve the goal of weakening Liu Yuan, it is really despicable enough." β
In addition, the humble post also believes that Chiang Kai-shek's purpose this time is to kill two birds with one stone in the words of the Chinese, and that he has achieved the purpose of making us hate Liu Yuan and ushering in time for development, and that he can use Liu Yuan's strength to gain benefits in negotiations, and it can be seen from our entry into China that the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to us, this is Liu Yuan using their land, and we should take action.
"Sure enough, he is the best student in the empire, Shan Daojun, what do you think we should do?" Umezu Mijiro sat down and looked at Yamamichikawa very seriously.
Shan Daochuan coughed and said, "For this negotiation, I think we still have to use military strength to threaten, we should send troops to the northeast, Zhang Zuolin is old, and his control over the northeast is very weak, we should use him as a breakthrough, and at the same time send the navy to cruise along the southeast coast and threaten China." β
Umezu Mijiro smiled bitterly, thinking that he was really young, and he didn't know the struggle within the Great Japanese Empire, if the base camp could increase his troops, or if he was willing to send troops, how could he let him and Umezu Mijiro come to China to negotiate? However, the trip did discover the talent of Yamamichikawa, who should not waste his youth at the military academy, but fight for the future of the Great Japanese Empire.
"The Empire has lost three regular divisions, we need to recuperate, and the Empire is not ready for war to feed that many troops. If the war is forced, it is not impossible, but the new cabinet is weak. Gangcun said with a sigh.
Although Okamura did not go on, Umezu Mijiro knew very well that if the domestic transfer of troops, but the cabinet did not strongly support it, it was likely to be buried in China, like the divisions sent before, there are many Chinese, and the population of Japan is indeed very limited. Moreover, the new cabinet has been weakening the strength of the army, and it is impossible for the base camp to agree to the proposal to increase troops, and the emperor is in the honeymoon period with the new cabinet, so it is impossible to cooperate with the military department.
Therefore, the most important thing for the army now is to establish a government that belongs to the military, and also to serve the military, not to send troops to China at this time. At this time, it is no longer in Japan's interests to send troops to China in an all-round or one-sided manner.
This dispatch to China was an important adventure made by Yoshiichi Tanaka for the benefit of the Imperial Army, and it was obvious that he had failed, so all the Imperial Army had to pay for him, and this matter was a very passable matter.
However, if we do not transfer troops from the empire and the navy, it will be very difficult for the empire to get out of the current predicament, and if we cannot do this, then China's self-confidence will grow, and it will be difficult to achieve the destruction of China in the future.
Okamura and Umezu Mijiro are old foxes, they understand the enthusiasm of this young man very well, but he can't tell him this yet, he is still young, he can't participate in these things, they already know that those young soldiers are organizing a coup d'Γ©tat, but they are not ready to let this young and excellent imperial rookie join in, they want to protect him.
Seeing the silent expressions of Gangmura and Umezu Mijiro, Yamamichikawa was very depressed, with tears in his eyes, and said with some whimpering, "General, that is the blood of tens of thousands of the best soldiers of the Empire, I can even hear the cries of their wives and children at home, their parents will have no one to support, and their women will become raped?" Yin's ***, we can't let the blood of those imperial warriors be shed in vain on this fertile land of China, we have to fight for them, for the dead, for the living.
Umezu Mijiro patted Yamamikawa's shoulder kindly and said, "You are very good, you are an excellent hot-blooded soldier of the empire, you can rest assured, with us, the blood of the imperial soldier will not be shed in vain, I already know what Chiang Kai-shek is doing, then I can't let him get his wish, we will not go against Liu Yuan because of this matter, we will devote ourselves to consuming Chiang Kai-shek's strength, and there is an attack on the northeast, preparing to establish a puppet Manchukuo." β
Gangcun also nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we are still proud to provoke the relationship between Chiang Kai-shek and Liu Yuan, if they can kill each other, it is the best, the Chinese have always been the most ruthless in killing their own people." β
Yamamichi Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he thought to himself, "Big brother, you would never have imagined that I, a sixteen-year-old child, could become one of the best soldiers in the Great Japanese Empire, don't blame me for being too good, blame the Japanese for being short, and there is no dead Yamado family." β
"Yes, I will look for information on the contradictions between Liu Yuan and Chiang Kai-shek, and strive to seek more strength for our negotiations." Yamamichikawa said with a passionate fist, then bowed and went out.
Gangcun looked at his young figure and said, "With such an excellent soldier, the empire's martial arts will definitely prosper, but the body of such an excellent soldier is still thin, we should send him to our army to train him, which can be regarded as a kind of protection for him, otherwise he is so good, he will definitely participate in their coup." β
Umezu Mijiro didn't have the same good mood as Gangmura, he couldn't be in a good mood since he entered Shina, and after Yamamichikawa left, he just silently returned to the tatami mats, knelt in front of Gangmura, and ate a bowl of rice.
Okamura understood what Umezu Mijiro meant, and asked with regret, "Umezu-kun, it seems that you are ready to make concessions in this negotiation, will this have an impact on your career?" I heard you're going to the Staff. Or maybe everything will be on me. β
"Gangmura-kun, you misunderstood me, I'll think about Yamamichi-kun's words again." Seeing Okamura Ninji's puzzled expression, Umezu Mijiro continued, "I heard such a meaning from Yamado Junzhong's words, China is really vast, and it is indeed not something that we can do at once if we want to annex them. β
"Umezu-kun, what do you mean by that?" After listening to Umezu Mijiro's words, Okamura looked at him in great surprise.
"Now that I think about it, it is indeed a very fortunate thing for us to explore the way with three divisions, Chiang Kai-shek's rapid unification of China has made many of us anxious, and everyone is anxious to eliminate China, but they have forgotten a very simple truth, that is, things should start from the simple aspect." Umezu Mijiro's words woke up Okamura.
Gangcun quieted down and thought for a while and said, "You're right, if we send more troops to South China, although we will temporarily gain an advantage, we will consume more strength in China, and we are not ready for war at all, and then we will fall into the quagmire of war, and we will continue to slide down from the most powerful country in Asia." β
"If we can occupy the northeast, then occupy Mongolia, and then go west into Xinjiang, according to the ancient Chinese method, first cut off the branches and roots of a tree, and then wipe out China, it will be a very simple thing." Umezu Mijiro said.
"If we are people of our own nation, we can continue to get soldiers from our occupied areas and fight for us, but this is in China, we are their enemies, the empire does not have so many troops to fight, we can only do it from the northeast to the south, destroy China, and take the path of the Qing Dynasty to the south." Gangcun Ningji said regretfully again, "In the final analysis, the population of the empire is still small. β
"But no matter what, we have to prevent the reunification of China, Chiang Kai-shek has already formally unified China, if he is allowed to eliminate the Red Party, then he will withdraw his hand and do more things, and then it will be impossible for us to conquer China." Umezu Mijiro said.
"Yes, China is so huge, and we are so small, we can only slowly devour China, but if we are too slow, we will not be China's opponent in the future, it is too contradictory." Gangcun sighed.
