Nanjing Hero Street, this is the street of the National Government to commemorate the special name order of the Northern Expedition soldiers, a group of disabled veterans after the war in order to better survive, specially opened a soybean milk shop on Hero Street, called Yonghe Soybean Milk.

Liu Yuan couldn't bear to let them eat and sleep in the open, so he gave them a sum of money, set up a veterans' club, established a veterans' fund, and let them set up a Western restaurant.

Liu Yuan and He Yingqin came here side by side, the veterans here obviously knew Liu Yuan, and when they saw Liu Yuan throw away the work in his hand, they ran over, "General, I haven't been here for a while, and my brothers miss you a lot." ”

He Yingqin looked at the veteran in front of him differently, his posture was upright, one arm was drooping, and it was obviously broken, but the spirit in his eyes was not something that ordinary soldiers could have, and he really didn't expect that there was such a place in Nanjing where the dragon and the tiger were hidden, because the eyes of those veterans sometimes revealed a terrifying cold light, which was really terrifying.

Liu Yuan patted the veteran's shoulder, "Lao He, how are the brothers doing?" If there's anything difficult, be sure to tell me. ”

"If the general is there, what about the profits we regularly hand over to the headquarters? Your help is needed there, and if you come here for a few more meals, the old brothers will be satisfied. Lao He smiled and pulled Liu Yuan inside, which made He Yingqin feel very embarrassed.

"What the national government didn't do, but let you do it, no wonder your intelligence network is so strong." He Yingqin sighed and said.

"There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust." Liu Yuan didn't say much, ordered two cups of Blue Mountain coffee, and waited for the arrival of the guests with He Yingqin.

Secker, the British consul in China, and Bruce, the leader of the new generation of the Texas consortium in the United States, led the two diminutive men to the café with a smile.

Liu Yuan stood up and had a bear hug with Bruce, although it couldn't be compared to Bruce's bear-like majestic figure, but it was much more powerful.

Bruce gasped, his expression a little teasing, "You guy, you're still so enthusiastic, I'm not the protagonist today, I'll quit." ”

"Bruce, how did you get together with this group of gnomes, as your strategic partner, I feel ashamed." Liu Yuan said slightly angrily.

"My brother, you'd better not talk nonsense, your subordinate Li Qiang, you have to ask for those tens of thousands of tons of supplies to be operated by us Texas to help you, causing the President of the United States to have a lot of opinions about us, I do this, I just hope that our business in Britain is a little better, I am looking at the face of this group of sailors, I hope you don't misunderstand." Bruce saw that Liu Yuan's expression did not soften, and continued to explain, "Although we in Texas have been promoted to a first-class consortium because of our cooperation with you, the old consortium has dealt a big blow to us, especially Boston, who has a great opinion of us and claims to eliminate us. ”

Seeing Bruce's nervous appearance, Liu Yuan smiled, put his arm on Bruce's shoulder, and whispered, "Go back to find our big beauty, he has a new plan to make a fortune, but be careful not to leak the news." When the time comes, everything in Boston will have to look at our faces."

Seeing Liu Yuan's figure, Bruce remembered the old days, he admired this young and wise guy very much, which is why he applied to his family to enter China, he wanted to see what kind of country could give birth to such a young leader.

"Ok, we Texas will always be your most loyal partners, but the people of the Big Beauty Family are very big at first sight, so be careful of being clicked at this moment." Bruce chuckled evilly and left with the British consul.

In the spacious and bright café room, coffee smokes and curls up. The two sides looked at each other silently, and the murderous intent was pervasive, and both sides wanted to deal with each other as quickly as possible.

The Japanese negotiating ambassador Okamura Ninji and the deputy envoy were Umezu Mijiro, while the Chinese negotiating ambassador was He Yingqin and the deputy envoy was Liu Yuan, but unlike in the past, the active and active side of the negotiations this time was not the ambassador, but the deputy envoy, and at the same time, the Japanese were rarely in an awkward position.

From the moment Okamura Ninji entered the café, Liu Yuan focused his eyes on him, recalling his message, Okamura Ninji, the second of the three birds of the "Baden-Baden League", was born in the fourth Banding block of Tokyo, Japan, in a declining samurai family.

One of the new leaders of the Showa warlords, the future general of the Japanese Empire, and one of the core forces of Japan's future invasion of China, although they do not have a good relationship with Showa on the surface, in fact, their every action is supported by the emperor, but the emperor is now in the honeymoon period with the new cabinet, so there is no closeness.

He is short in stature, with looped legs that are found in all of Japan, and he looks like Wu Dalang, but his eyes are bright behind his glasses, his limbs are thick and powerful, and he walks with a tigerish style, his eyebrows are as sharp as a knife's edge, and his chin is sharp, which looks like a fierce and cunning air.

Umezu Mijiro did not stand up, he wanted to strike at a critical time to achieve the effect of surprise and cover-up, which is the essence of the Chinese art of war.

The coffee was cold, and the waiter walked in and replaced the two parties with new coffee. He Yingqin felt that this kind of confrontation was very boring, picked up the cup, saw Liu Yuan's eyes, remembered that this was a diplomatic occasion, and put down the cup helplessly. I blamed myself a little.

Regarding He Yingqin's performance, Okamura Ningji was a little happy in his heart, and he felt that He Yingqin was not a very difficult person to deal with.

Since he had already lost for a while, there was no need for Liu Yuan to persevere, so he picked up his coffee and said with a smile, "General Okamura Ningji, Liu Yuan has admired your name for a long time, and you are welcome to set foot on the land of the suzerain." ”

Liu Yuan suddenly spoke, Gangcun didn't react, and secretly said in his heart, a good gentleman, because he has been secretly looking at Liu Yuan, to know that the photo of Lu Dao can't really observe a person, because the photo can't see a person's spirit.

"Ha Luha, why did General Liu Yuan say this? Since Li Tang came, although you have close contacts with your country, you have never called China a superior country, but your country has declined since the Qing Dynasty, and it has even suffered to maintain the integrity of the country. Gangcun's face was full of smiles, and his demeanor was extremely respectful, but it was this kind of respect that made people cry that it was a huge irony.

"The difference between the general's words, there is a gold seal in your country's museum, even your country may not know his history, but we Chinese still have a record of him, and they prove the relationship between our two countries." Liu Yuan also said.

"Oh, I have seen the golden seal you mentioned, but I don't know the origin of it, so I guess my country plundered it from your country. Moreover, I still have a certain amount of research on the history and culture of your country, but I have not heard of any records. Gangcun's expression was still respectful, but Liu Yuan felt his disdain from the bottom of his heart.

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty? Dongyi Liebiography" "In the second year of Jianwu Zhongyuan, the Japanese slave country paid tribute to congratulate, so that people called themselves doctors, and Guangwu gave them seals. The general didn't know. It seems that the general is also the kind of ungrateful person. Liu Yuan fought back lightly.

"This, this," Gangcun's expression was a little embarrassed, Liu Yuan said that he didn't know whether it was true or false for a while, if it was really as he said, then Japan was indeed a vassal state of China, which was a great shame.

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of Gangmura Ningji, Umezu Mijiro couldn't sit still any longer, stood up, raised his glass to Liu Yuan and said with a smile, "Why should the general stick to the past history? To know that the ancestors of the Dao are great, but that is only in the past, you must know that there is a saying in China, that the rich are not more than three generations, what do you think, general? ”

He Yingqin sat on the sidelines and watched very happily, the young people now are really full of energy.

"Who are you, general? I don't know you, how can I answer your question? Liu Yuan turned to look at Gangcun Ningcun.

Umezu Mijiro's expression was very ugly, and just as he wanted to say something, Umezu Mijiro smiled and covered up the embarrassed expression just now.

"General, although you don't know me now, but in the near future, you will know me, introduce yourself, Umezu Mijiro, we will meet again in the future." Umezu Mijiro was very generous.

"Oh, though I still haven't heard of your name, I can tell you that it's a sure thing to meet, because that's when I'm going to visit you in the East."

"You." Umezu Mijiro's expression was extremely ugly, but it was Okamura Ninji who stopped him.

The general behaved so toughly, nothing more than to hide the fact that your country was weak.

"I don't know if my country is weak or not, but I know that my country has just wiped out two divisions of your country, if our country is really weak, then what state is your country in."

"Why should the general do this? You must know that your relationship with the central government is not very good, and the Nationalist Government has chased to the southwest like a duck, so why should you help him? You must know that an excellent talent like General Xiang should be the best leader of a country," Gangmura Ningji's voice became more and more flattering.

He Yingqin suddenly sat up straight and looked at Liu Yuan with concern, he was afraid that Liu Yuan would not be able to think about something.

"Oh," Liu Yuan smiled and said, "This point is different between China and Japan, we China is different from Japan, we China pay attention to the grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, the central government has been kind to me, I naturally have to work hard to repay the kindness, not like your country, to the suzerainty that Zeng recently aided him, do despicable and shameless things." ”

"General, you always say that China is the suzerain, but you see a country that can't even unify the country, why should it be our suzerain, and I don't think you need to visit us Japan, I will come to visit you sooner or later." Gangcun's cultivation couldn't hold on in front of Liu Yuan, and finally began to attack.

Liu Yuan smiled knowingly, "I still think it's more convenient for me to see you, you must know that it will only take a year for me to transform Japan, if you can't see me in China for ten or eight years, you Japan don't have many divisions to consume." ”

Umezu Mijiro slapped the table angrily, "You don't have the slightest chance, on the contrary, the army of the Great Japanese Empire will take me to meet you, I hope your mouth will still be so sharp at that time." ”

"If you come to see me then, maybe I'm not in a good mood, I won't be so hospitable, and if the coffee is replaced with a gun, it may kill someone."

"Bagaya deer, dead, dead, dripping." Umezu Mijiro picked up and pointed at Liu Yuan and scolded.

He Yingqin patted the table, "I heard that the literacy of Japanese soldiers is very good, but today's meeting does not match the legend." It's a pity, it's a pity. This is a diplomatic occasion, and I hope you will pay attention to it. ”

"General, you are very powerful, but our Great Japanese Empire has never been afraid to challenge the strong, and we will come again." Gangcun respectfully bowed to Liu Yuan and said.

Liu Yuan also stood up very seriously, bowed to Okamura Ningji and said, "General, please rest assured, I will wait for you in China." ”

The two sides have come and gone, and there is a lot of anger, but the last thing is still to get to the point, because neither side actually wants to continue the war.

"The Republic of China needs to pay Japan $10 million for military spending, and at the same time allow the withdrawal of troops from the northeast to the Guannai, and Japan needs to help Pu Yi restore Manchukuo's rule in the northeast."

Liu Yuan didn't need an interpreter at all, and he could talk to Okamura Ninji directly in Japanese.

"Japan is China's sacred and inviolable territory, Pu Yi has announced his abdication, and no one recognizes his status as emperor, which does not require your relationship.

We hope that your country will compensate us for our military expenditure of 15 million US dollars as military expenses to make up for our losses, otherwise our country will publicize the news of your country's defeat in this war to the whole world.

Second, our country requires your country to withdraw spies from Northeast, East China, and South China, and we will clean up ourselves after the expiration date.

Thirdly, Japan demands the right to lend and dispatch police officers to your country.

Fourth, Qingdao was established as a demilitarized zone and Japanese troops were withdrawn. Chinese police are allowed to be stationed.

Liu Yuan's conditions are very vicious, if Gangcun agrees, then he does not have to return to China, and China can accommodate a Japanese traitor like him.

"General, you know that your country does not have the corresponding strength to protect the rights you mentioned, I still advise you to be practical, how about we give in one step." Gangcun Ningci said to Liu Yuan.

He Yingqin smiled and said, "This is very good, you should know very well the attitude of our Chinese team members and your country, and we don't want to continue the war." ”

Umezu Mijiro looked at Liu Yuan with a sneer, and Liu Yuan frowned, but he didn't look at He Yingqin, he didn't expect that He Yingqin was so afraid of Japan, and he pulled himself back again and again.

"Whether we have the ability to protect that is our business, and I want to tell you that when you can't get our Chinese stuff with guns, there is no hope for negotiations, do you really think that we Chinese are cowards?" Liu Yuan showed an angry look, and Liu Yuan's words made He Yingqin's face very ugly. ”

"General Gangcun, our country is here with sincerity, and since your country is willing to take a step back, then we might as well have a good talk." He Yingqin was afraid that Liu Yuan would mess up the negotiations, and began to ask for the initiative in the negotiations.

Liu Yuan's heart darkened, how could He Yingqin take the initiative to leak our bottom line, I am afraid that there will be no benefits to be obtained from such negotiations.

"This is very good, our empire is also sincere, we can do without military spending, but for the northeast we want to expand the rights and interests of the railway, the northeast is too hostile to us, we want to expand the road guard." Okamura Ninji really took a step back.

He Yingqin just wanted to speak, Liu Yuan stood up and said, "I, Liu Yuan, will never sign any rights and interests that lose power and humiliate the country, if you have to make us make concessions, then we can only start a war." ”

"Who is the mastermind of your country?" Umezu Mijiro asked strangely.

Liu Yuan looked at He Yingqin, He Yingqin smiled bitterly and said, "Although I am the main envoy, the opinions of our deputy envoys are also very important, so it is absolutely impossible to betray the interests of the country." ”

Zhang Zuolin, who was far away in the Northeast, didn't know what to do, and he almost let He Yingqin sell his interests in the Northeast to Japan.
