Chapter 587: Ceasefire Negotiations

No matter how disgusted and angry Zairen of the idle palace is, it is inevitable that the public hope of Xiyuan Temple will intervene. In fact, the idle palace doesn't need to check to know what's going on.

This old guy has always been a British and American liberal, and if the Wehrmacht negotiates through the British and American demands, then there is no doubt that Saionji will know about it, and if Saionji knows, it means that Hirohito will be affected.

And Hirohito himself was extremely uneasy because the Wehrmacht was too strong in combat and was even likely to threaten the Japanese mainland. As long as Saionji tells Hirohito the news that new types of weapons have appeared again in the Wehrmacht, then Hirohito's attitude can be imagined.

Saionji walked slowly into the office under the agency of the lieutenant of the temple, and then the U.S. ambassador to Japan read out the Wehrmacht's request for negotiations. The first was to demand a cease-fire and Japan not to continue the war in Fujian. It is necessary to ensure the safety of the lives of the 52nd Division and its resistance troops in Fujian.

Otherwise, the Wehrmacht would not have guaranteed the safety of the two divisions in the encirclement.

Threat! This is a naked threat! Xiangongyuan's face was blue by this threat, once upon a time, even Zhang Zuolin, the king of the Northeast in Wei Zhenyu, had to look at the face of the Great Japanese Empire, how could he dare to make such a request? !

But then Xian Gongyuan's face darkened, and he knew that he didn't have much negotiating capital in his hands now. Even with the Navy's full help, the Army's transportation of past land was extremely limited.

The Japanese troops in Korea consisted of no more than four divisions and one flying division, and the flying divisions were basically wiped out. And the two divisions, which were beaten and almost crippled, were surrounded.

"Prince Xiangongyuan, I want you to know! The Eighth Division has entered the encirclement of the Wehrmacht......" The American ambassador looked at the prince sympathetically and said softly: "In other words, it will be three divisions that may be surrounded by the Wehrmacht......"

After saying that, the ambassador said goodbye with a smile, and stayed in this office for the two of them, Xiyuan Temple and Xiangongyuan.

Shortly after the U.S. ambassador left, there was a reply to the telegram sent by the Imperial Court to North Korea. At the same time that Koiso Kuniaki got the telegram from the idle palace, he also received the news that the Eighth Division was surrounded!

His face turned white on the spot! Immediately send a telegram to the 8th Division asking if they were sure to break out of the encirclement. But the answer he got was frustrating. The 8th Division reported that now the planes of the Wehrmacht are bombing in a big way!

Not to mention the protrusion surrounded. Even if you jump out and move, you have to risk your life! Koiso Kuniaki was desperate and called back to Tokyo: The 8th Division has been confirmed to be surrounded, and implores the military headquarters for tactical guidance.

Zai-in, who got the telegram, was silent, he didn't expect that the form of North Korea would become so bad! Even worse than he could have imagined! Now all three divisions are surrounded. If the Wehrmacht is ruthless, it is not impossible that the whole of Korea will be taken!

"Xiangongyuan...... Xiyuan Temple looked at Xiangongyuan's face, and said in a deep voice: "I also watched you grow up, and I know that you don't like my way of doing things." Like I don't like the way you do things! ”

"But I want you to know that whatever I do is for ......the good of the Empire," the old Saionji continued after a pause to the Xiangong Courtyard, "If it is only radical, it is easy to drag the empire into a dead end. I hope you understand that we need to calm down properly......"

Xiangongyuan no longer speaks, and now everything is vain. The troops in the DPRK are already at a significant disadvantage. It is even possible to be annihilated, that's all there is to it!

"I will send someone to be in charge of the negotiations, Your Majesty has authorized me to take over the negotiation matters this time......" Xiyuan Temple slowly stood up, and said to the idle palace: "I will try my best to fight for and protect the interests of the empire, if there is a war next time, I hope I will no longer be in this role......"

Xiangongyuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, while Xiyuan Temple smiled and said softly: "I also hope that the empire will be strong and prosperous......"

After saying that, Xiyuan Temple slowly left the office. Left behind the silent idle palace. Xiangongyuan knew that he couldn't interfere in this matter. There is no doubt that Hirohito handed over the matter to Saionji because he was worried that he would be hot-headed.

"That's right! Your Majesty asked you to enter the palace for a trip......" This is before Xiyuan Temple leaves the office. The last words left.

Subsequently, Tu Qianjun, who was in Mukden, received a message from Jensen: Japan replied that it hoped for a ceasefire negotiations. Tu Qianjun, who received the news, smiled faintly and told Yan Zhengqing the news.

An hour and a half later. The Wehrmacht and Japan telegraphed that they would accept the mediation of the United States and Britain to negotiate a cease-fire. Japan will stop "suppressing bandits" in Fujian, while the Wehrmacht will stop its offensive in Korea at the same time.

The whole country cheered and saw this as a great victory for the Wehrmacht! Of course, there are different voices coming out.

Nanjing Central News Agency reported: This behavior of the Wehrmacht and the Japanese army is tantamount to betraying the country! You know, how can you negotiate if the land is occupied?! When the war to the death to serve the country, it is the best policy! Compromise is like a traitor!

Tu Mengben, commander of the National Defense Forces, kept saying that he was fighting for the country. However, their actions are shameful! Taking advantage of the national disaster, he actually betrayed the country! Obviously there is strength. But he negotiated with Japan for his own selfishness! It's really to save the strength!

With such humanity, how can one be called a patriot?! Under his patriotic face, his traitorous behavior was exposed! When the Japanese army occupied our land, they negotiated! Shameless!

……

Looking at this article, Tu Qianjun laughed dumbly! How similar does this argument seem to the public intellectuals of later generations?! Later generations of intellectuals, the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Nanjing government regime defecated, killed people and set fires, and even dug dikes and dams to drown hundreds of thousands of their own citizens in order to block thousands of enemy troops hundreds of miles away. It's not a stain.

But as long as the red doesn't help the Manchus and the skinheads wipe even a little shit off their buttocks, it's a stain!

The Nanjing government prepared for a golden decade, was beaten to the point that it lost the capital, and fled in embarrassment, and it is understandable that the public knows how to sigh. A certain turtle has just been established and disarmament construction is unprepared, and it directly fights with the most powerful country to draw with the public, and the public begins to criticize it infinitely. This is a repetition!

The bursting of the embankment at Huayuankou killed 890,000 Chinese and affected 12 million in four days. But only a few thousand casualties were inflicted on the Japanese army. And it only delayed the Japanese offensive for more than three months, and the most important thing is: in the final result, Wuhan, which was intended to be defended, was still not held.

This time alone, the number of Chinese civilians who killed the Central Army in the War of Resistance exceeded the total number of Japanese soldiers killed in China. It was also the deadliest single civilian incident in World War II, far more than the Nanjing Massacre, and even more than the two atomic bombs and the Tokyo air raid combined.

Naturally, it far exceeded the death toll in bombed cities such as London and Berlin. This kind of miracle can only be done by a certain captain of a transport team who has been transferred to the island. These facts are certainly not said by the public. They will choose to move thousands of miles like the Nanjing government.

In a sense, it is fortunate that the Central Army did not actively resist Japan back then, otherwise I am afraid that more Chinese people would have died. Incidents of robbery and other disturbances to the people by miscellaneous armies in the Northwest Army, the Sichuan Army, and other localities are common, but I am afraid that such a large-scale effort as the Central Army has taken the lives of hundreds of thousands or millions of ordinary people in such a big way.

And now, the Nanjing government has moved thousands of miles, and the bandits have been suppressed until the Japanese have come in, and the Central News Agency has not said a word. The Nanjing government was invaded by the Japanese, and the Chinese people were asked to stay calm, "don't surprise your friends," but the Central News Agency still did not mention it.

On the contrary, Japan, which was attacked by the Wehrmacht in one go, did not dare to move, and demanded negotiations to protect the anti-Japanese forces. The Central News Agency began to jump up and down! It is a traitorous act to scold Tu Qianjun for being a traitor and for negotiating with others while the Japanese are still in Fujian......

Of course, the Central News Agency turned a blind eye to Tu Qianjun's earth-shaking fight with the Japanese in Korea. Not to mention the fact that the artillery master surrounded two or even three divisions of the Japanese army.

In the eyes of the Central News Agency, no matter how much this slaughtering tiger can fight, it is just a thief babai! They certainly wouldn't say that their chief commissar had only attended a preparatory department in Japan, raised horses for the Japanese for two years, and was expelled from the Baoding Army Accelerated School, and then declared himself a graduate of the military academy.

The Tokyo Zhenwu School that Jiang Zhongzheng attended at the end was nothing more than a preparatory class, which was similar to today's Japanese language school for international students. And his formal military training was only two years as a groom in the 19th Wing (Takano Wing) of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, which was only the level of a first-class soldier and horse breeder.

No matter what the Central News Agency says, most people don't believe it anyway. In the north, near the borders of the three eastern provinces, most of the students have already begun to march to celebrate. Some university teachers are also considering whether they want to transfer to the three eastern provinces to become teachers.

In comparison, at least the three eastern provinces are more reliable, aren't they?! Nanjing State Government, what else can be expected of them?!

Three days later, Japan's current foreign minister, Hiroki Hirota, arrived in North Korea with his own negotiating team. and to negotiate near the 38th parallel in the rear of the 8th Division, which is now surrounded by the Wehrmacht.

This is the demand of the Wehrmacht, not in Japan, not in Mukden. Since we are fighting a war in Korea, let's negotiate in Korea. The Japanese found it somewhat inexplicable to such a request from the Wehrmacht.

In fact, as early as 1896, Japan and the Russian Empire held secret talks on the equal division of the Korean Peninsula according to the 38th parallel, but after the Russo-Japanese War, Japan monopolized the Korean Peninsula.

Therefore, Japan feels a little strange about this demand of the Wehrmacht.

While Japan was negotiating with the Wehrmacht, Germany and the United States also received secret field observer reports on the battlefield performance of the Tiger I tank and Tiger Shark I fighter jets.

At the same time, Hirose Shousuke, who surrounded the mountainous area, used a radio to broadcast to the 52nd Division in the mountains that the two sides were now entering the negotiation stage. News of a temporary ceasefire.
