Although, Zhu Erdian was smiling and amiable. However, Wu Haoxuan felt a lot of pressure from it. Britain, after all, is the number one power in the world. With the strength of Britain, if it was determined to help Japan, the Jilin Army would not be able to bear it at all.

If nothing else, as long as the British lend to Japan. Then, the Japanese will definitely go on in a crazy way to continue the war. Japan still has 15 divisions, and once mobilization is completed, it means that more than 300,000 troops will march into the northeast. If the Jilin Army wants to defeat more than 300,000 Japanese troops, this is undoubtedly very difficult.

"Your Excellency, the Jilin Army does not want the war to continue. It's a pity that the conditions put forward by the Japanese side are too harsh. I can't accept such conditions. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Of course, I also think that the conditions put forward by the Japanese side are too harsh. Under my persuasion, the Japanese side has already agreed to change the conditions. They hope that everything will return to the state it was before the war. In addition, it would be sufficient for Jilin to pay Japan 100 million yen in compensation. Sir Jurden said.

Wu Haoxuan frowned, such conditions were also very harsh, and they were still not acceptable to him. Wu Haoxuan's goal was to completely drive the Japanese out of the Northeast through this battle. If we return to the pre-war period, won't all the efforts we have made for so long be in vain?

"Your Excellency, such conditions are still too harsh. I can't accept it. Wu Haoxuan shook his head. Although, the British put a lot of pressure on him. If this makes him compromise and back down, it will be impossible.

Zhu Erdian's reaction to Wu Haoxuan. As if it wasn't surprised, the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Then, Your Excellency Young Marshal." What's your bottom line? What kind of conditions can be accepted? ”

"Your Excellency, Japan has lost this war. As the vanquished, they deserve to pay for it. I don't ask much, Japan must withdraw from Tohoku and give up all its interests in Tohoku. In addition, regarding compensation, Jilin can also give up. Merely. Those Japanese officers and soldiers who were captured by us had to pay a ransom if the Japanese wanted to redeem them. This. Not too much, right? Wu Haoxuan's attitude also softened.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. The current Jilin Army is too weak. If the Jilin Army can unify the entire country and complete the construction of the industrial infrastructure. Then there is no need to be afraid of the British at all. It's a pity. It will take a lot of time to achieve all this. Until then, you still have to clamp your tail to do it.

Zhu Erdian nodded, Wu Haoxuan's request is actually not high, and it can even be said to be very reasonable. After all, Japan was at a disadvantage in the war, and it is understandable that it would pay a certain price to end the war. Of course. It is a pity that Japan is an ally of Britain, and Britain must think about Japan's interests.

"Your Excellency, Young Marshal. This war is not over. If Japan had received a loan, the war would have continued. So, you know what I mean. Zhu Erdian said with a smile. But the threat in his words was undoubtedly very strong. There is a posture that Wu Haoxuan did not compromise and retreated, and Britain gave Japan a loan.

Wu Haoxuan was not frightened: "Your Excellency, Japan can certainly get the support of Britain. However, the Jilin Army is not alone, and we also have friends. The war can still be fought. However, it will undoubtedly make the scale of the war bigger and bigger, and it will be more difficult for the Far East to restore peace. ”

Zhu Erdian frowned, the Jilin Army was supported by the Americans, and he was clear about this. In addition, the Russians and Germans also seem to support the side of the Jilin Army. Although the attitude of the French was unclear, they also seemed to favor the Jilin Army. The rise of the Japanese was already a threat to the French colony of Indochina.

"Your Excellency, are you trying to reject the goodwill of the British Empire? It is not a good thing to be the enemy of the British Empire. The smile on Zhu Erdian's face disappeared cleanly. The Jilin Army wanted to rely on the help of several other countries to fight against the British Empire, which he could not accept.

"No, no. Your Excellency, the Jilin Army has never intended to be an enemy of the British Empire, we are only fighting for our legitimate interests. Japan gave up all its interests in the Northeast and withdrew from the Northeast, which is actually not a loss for them. It was a fair exchange between us and Japan. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Fair exchange? I don't think the conditions you gave are favorable to Japan. Zhu Erdian said.

"Your Excellency, after Japan lost its interests in the Northeast, they still have Korea. If the war continues, they will lose not only the Northeast, but also the North Koreans. When the time comes, it will be a heavy blow to Japan. Wu Haoxuan said with a smile.

The entry of the Jilin Army into Korea will inevitably be a heavy blow to Japan.

"North Korea? You're going to attack North Korea? A hint of anger flashed in Zhu Erdian's eyes. In the Anglo-Japanese Treaty of Alliance, the British had clearly guaranteed Japanese interests in Korea. If the Jilin Army were to attack Korea, it would undoubtedly pose a major threat to Japan's interests.

Wu Haoxuan nodded: "To be exact, now the army of the Jilin Army has crossed the Yalu River and entered North Korea. ”

"Oh God!" Sir Jurdian couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. Now the Japanese army in Korea is extremely empty, and it is simply unable to stop the attack of the Jilin Army. If Japan and the Jilin Army cannot reach an agreement, perhaps Japan will really lose Korea.

"Your Excellency, as long as Japan renounces all its interests in Northeast China and withdraws from Northeast China. Then, the Jilin Army withdrew from North Korea. This is a good deal for Japan. Wu Haoxuan continued.

The expression on Sir Zhu Erdian's face kept changing, and he wanted to refuse Wu Haoxuan's proposal, and let this young man who didn't know the height of the sky know what the consequences of offending the British Empire were. But reason prevented him from doing that. The Jilin Army has 200,000 troops, which is also a powerful force in the Far East. Even the Japanese Army could not defeat them, which also showed their combat effectiveness. In addition, the Jilin Army had the support of other powers behind it, so that Britain would not easily use force against such forces.

"Your Excellency, I will convey it to the Japanese minister. As for what the Japanese minister will choose, I don't know. Sir Jurdian said coldly.

"Thank you, Your Excellency. I am sure that the Japanese side will make the right choice. Wu Haoxuan smiled.

On the Liaodong front, fierce battles continued. Wu Haoxuan issued an order that the Kwantung Army must be encircled and annihilated by September 30. This allowed the 3rd Infantry Division, the 8th Infantry Division and the Instructor to intensify the offensive. The remnants of the Kwantung Army of the Japanese Army were already struggling to survive. Under the fierce attack of the Jilin Army, they simply could not hold on.

In fact, on the afternoon of September 29, the Jilin Army captured Qingshiling and completely annihilated the Japanese Kwantung Army. Some of the commanders of the Kwantung Army committed suicide by seppuku and served the emperor. Some also fell into the hands of the Jilin Army. For example, the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Yoshimasa Oshima, was captured by the Jilin Army because he did not have time to cut his stomach in time. The capture of a general is undoubtedly a great shame for the Japanese Army and even for Japan as a whole.

After the collapse of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese troops still in the northeast were left with only the 1st Division, the remnants of the 4th Division, the 5th Division and the 7th Division. Among them, the 5th and 7th Divisions were cowering on the seashore, relying on the cover of naval guns. In the face of the naval guns of the main warships of the Japanese Navy, the Jilin Army had no other way for a while. After all, the power of naval artillery is too terrifying, and if the Jilin Army wants to encircle and annihilate these two divisions of the Japanese army, it will be almost impossible. I'm afraid that before the Japanese army was dealt with, he suffered heavy losses under the fierce naval artillery attack of the Japanese Navy. Therefore, the two sides can only remain deadlocked.

However, this situation did not last long and was quickly broken. The 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Jilin Army arrived at the front. Although, the 2nd brigade of heavy artillery had only sixty cannons. But all of them are large-caliber heavy artillery.

On the coast north of Gaizhou, more than 40,000 men of the 5th and 7th Divisions of the Japanese Army were entrenched here. With the cover of naval guns, there are no problems with their safety. Therefore, their combat mission is also very easy, and they only need to resist the possible attack of the Jilin Army.

"Gentlemen, this is the most advanced artillery of the Krupp factory in the German Reich. They are the true gods of war. These cannons are extremely powerful. Soon, they'll tell you that it's definitely worth the money when you choose to buy them this time. A middle-aged German man was chattering to the generals of the Jilin Army about the power of the Krupp heavy artillery.

On the artillery position, the officers and men of the 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Jilin Army were making preparations before the artillery was fired. 36 210-mm heavy rapid-fire cannons, 18 240-mm heavy cannons and 6 280-mm heavy howitzers, all entered positions. These big guys were transported to the front line in Liaodong, but it took a lot of effort. However, they are about to show extremely strong combat power.

In addition to the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Jilin Army, there were also a large number of mercenaries from Germany. With the quality of the artillery of the Jilin Army, it is very difficult to operate these cannons in a short time. So, the Jilin Army not only purchased artillery, but also hired a part of the German artillery. (To be continued......)
