Chapter 550: Negotiation (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Passes, Asking for Various !! ）

Manchuria. Former enemy command!

Zhang Jingjun, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, reported to Chen Fenghui: "Commander, our army has broken through the two lines of defense of the Japanese army, and at most half a day will be able to completely annihilate the Japanese puppet army in the city!" ”

"Stop attacking!" Chen Feng seemed to have made a lot of determination and said.

"Uh, what's it, stop attacking?" Zhang Jingjun looked at Chen Feng in surprise.

"Pass my order, immediately stop the attack, and besiege the Japanese puppet army in the city without attacking!" Chen Feng said.

"Commander, what is this for, we paid a huge price to beat this ninth division half to death, and we can wipe it out in a few hours"

"Go back and say this, immediately order the troops to stop the attack, immediately!" Chen Feng said loudly.

"But" Zhang Jingjun wanted to say something, but seeing Chen Feng's cold and resolute expression, he knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, it would be in vain, and all his words could only choke back into his stomach.

The news that Chen Feng's troops had stopped the offensive soon spread back to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and General Yamada Otozo and Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo were greatly relieved, and it seemed that the two sides had reached a tacit understanding in the negotiations, so there was no one bowing to whom.

In fact, before this, General Yamada Otozo was still a little worried that Chen Feng would refuse to negotiate with the imperial army, after all, it was the elite 9th Division of the Japanese army that was surrounded, and this division was one of the few divisions that could represent the Imperial Japanese Army, if it was completely annihilated by the Chinese people. The damage to the dignity and honor of the Empire would be immeasurable.

Although Chen Feng's department was surrounded by a naval fleet, it was full of some old, weak, sick and disabled warships, and the most important thing was that this naval fleet was still a newly formed fleet, not to mention the United States and Britain and other countries, even a large number of people in China did not know the existence of this naval fleet, even if it was completely annihilated, the damage to China was not very great, at most it made Chen Feng's hateful warlord feel distressed for a while.

The distress of one person is simply not comparable to the heartache of the entire empire, so General Yamada Otosan has always been worried that Chen Feng's troops will annihilate the Ninth Division regardless of it.

But now it seems that the army of which Chinese general and the naval fleet under his command are still very important. I would rather give up the honor of annihilating the 9th Division to preserve that naval fleet. This also relieved the tense atmosphere of the headquarters and the Japanese army base camp of the entire unit.

Although there is a tacit understanding, the following is the most important thing, negotiation and negotiation, only the two sides really have an agreement. Then things are all right. Not a day of agreement. It's not over.

Negotiate with Chen Feng's subordinates and not just find two people casually. The status of the two sides must be equal, otherwise it is conceivable that a proud person like Chen Feng would not casually see that cat and dog. The Japanese army base camp thought twice. It was decided to send Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe to Manchuria as the all-elected ambassador for the negotiations.

What is Okabe Naosaburo, it is not that Okabe Naosaburo's status can be equal to Chen Feng, on the contrary, the importance of the two people in their country is far from comparable. However, Okabe Naosaburo was the chief of staff of the North China Front, and he has been fighting Chen Feng for more than 3 years, so it can be said that the two are real old rivals.

The Japanese believe that a true soldier must respect not only himself, but also his opponents, so that he can be truly strong. Chen Feng can develop into a hegemonic prince in just a few years, he must understand this truth.

In addition, Okabe Naosaburo is still the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, and the Ninth Division is a battle sequence under the Kwantung Army, so it is most appropriate for Okabe Naosaburo to come forward.

Sure enough, when the Kwantung Army Command sent a telegram to Chen Feng that he planned to send Okabe Naosaburo to Manchuria, Chen Feng did not raise any objection to this, and also replied to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, saying that he would personally talk to Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo.

On 4 April, the talks between the two sides began in earnest, before which the two sides were allowed to make the necessary supplies for their respective forces in the encirclement, which of course were limited to food and fresh water and simple medicines, and nothing else.

The venue for the talks was a VIP building in Manzhouli, which was located in a special geographical location in the middle of the Line of Actual Control between the Japanese garrison headquarters and Zhang Jingjun's headquarters, and both sides of the negotiations here were at ease.

The main reason why the negotiations were held in an unfriendly atmosphere was that the soldiers of the Northern Mongolian Military Region were very puzzled by the talks, and apart from Chen Feng, only Zhang Jingjun, Shi Jianfei, and others in the entire military region knew the reason for the talks, and the others did not know anything about it at all, so many soldiers were extremely resistant to the talks.

The conditions put forward by the Japanese army were not harsh, there were only two conditions: the first was to demand that Chen Feng's troops immediately stop the offensive and let go of the Ninth Division in the encirclement; The second is that the whole army immediately withdraw its troops from Hulunbuir. In return, the Japanese Navy will return directly to the sea, and let the Heilongjiang fleet return to the Nanyang Territory.

Chen Feng had no objection to the first condition, after all, the main purpose of the two sides to sit down and negotiate this time was not for the sake of the Ninth Division and the Heilongjiang Fleet, the safety of these two troops was the basis of this negotiation, and presumably neither side had any different views on this point.

However, Chen Feng was extremely dissatisfied with the second request made by the Japanese army, although he said that the Heilongjiang fleet was surrounded by the Japanese army, and its destruction was imminent. However, this does not mean that he must agree to any conditions of the Japanese army, and you must know that Manchuria, Hailar, and the nearby Qixian counties were all fought by more than 100,000 officers and men of the Northern Mongolian Military Region in bloody battles.

Besides, now they have each other's hole cards in their hands, and no one can really jam each other's necks, the Japanese are not angry with the loss of an infantry division, and he Chen someone may not be able to afford to lose a fleet, and now this fleet is already seriously injured, half of the ships were sent to the bottom of the sea by the Japanese army, and the rest were also injured.

Therefore, Chen Feng sternly rejected the second condition of the Japanese army, and immediately put forward his own negotiation conditions, Chen Feng's conditions are much more straightforward, we let go of the ninth division and all the Japanese puppet troops in the encirclement, you are to let go of the avenue, let the Heilongjiang fleet leave, and the rest of everyone will open up the situation and then set up the dragon gate formation, who can find the field is considered who has the ability.

To be honest, this condition is still more in line with the current situation, after all, neither side can really force the other side to give in, although the value of a division is really not as good as a fleet, you must know that the money spent on forming a fleet can definitely equip 5-10 divisions.

But the Japanese know that Chen Feng and the Chen family behind Chen Feng are not short of money, there are the United States and the Soviet Union, the two worldly factories, as long as there is money, I am afraid there is nothing that cannot be bought, the Japanese fully believe that as long as Chen Feng is willing, as long as he is willing to spend money, he can form a more luxurious naval fleet in a short period of time, this is not a problem.

For Japan, the loss of an infantry division is not a thing, anyway, a large number of troops are formed every day in the empire itself, and the number of the division and regiment level has been ranked to about 60, which is not counting the infantry divisions formed at the beginning of a hundred years later, so the Japanese Empire can afford to lose an infantry division. However, the Ninth Division really could not afford to lose, and the symbolism of this division was far more important than itself.

The Ninth Division has always been the elite and hard-core of the Japanese Army, second only to the Second Division and the Sixth Division, and to a certain extent, it represents the long-term military fortune of the Great Japanese Empire, and His Majesty the Emperor has praised this unit in public many times, and if such a division is annihilated by the Chinese, the impact will be extremely far-reaching both at home and abroad.

After several rounds of fighting, the two sides also saw each other's bottom line, so Okabe Naosaburo fighter plane directly proposed, not to mention this, from Manchuria to Yakeshi is only a few hundred kilometers away, and the sea area surrounded by the Heilongjiang fleet is only a few hundred nautical miles away from Australia, so let's just come to a hostage exchange.

The imperial army is willing to order the Ninth Division to teach all the ammunition, leaving only a rifle and a bayonet, and then go to Yakeshi under the supervision of Chen Feng's department, as long as Chen Feng's department does not pursue after Hailar, this is over. At the same time, the Heilongjiang fleet was required to throw all the ammunition into the sea, and the Japanese combined fleet supervised the execution, and finally went to Australia under the "escort" of the combined fleet, and the Japanese army promised to return when it was 200 nautical miles away from Australia, and would never encircle and intercept the Heilongjiang fleet.

Vice Admiral Okabe Naosaburo's proposal made Chen Feng very moved, isn't the purpose of this negotiation to rescue the Heilongjiang fleet, and the bargaining chips to be paid are not the fat in the bowl of the Ninth Division, since they have all decided, what are you hesitating about, and this plan is relatively fair for both sides, so Chen Feng agreed to Okabe Naosaburo's plan after a little consideration, and the two sides agreed to start exchanging "hostages" after signing the agreement on April 5.
