Busan, where thousands of helicopters bombed indiscriminately. When the first one fell, the firelight illuminated the surroundings and guided the planes in the sky. The harbor was the focus of attention, and hundreds of helicopters circled back and forth, turning the entire mountain of seaport into a sea of fire after repelling forty or fifty Japanese attack planes.

The flames detonated the ammunition inside the port gate, and the loud bang blew up the entire port of Busan.

In the harbor, the freighters that were urgently transporting houses and troops also did not escape from the sky, and when Zheng Guifei's sea was on fire, one by one burst into flames, and the people on the ship jumped into the icy sea like dumplings, and the cries for help resounded in the night sky.

The bombing targets of the planes were not limited to the harbor and the Japanese positions, all the buildings were included in the scope of the attack, and the fire in the harbor was ignited, and the few civilians of Busan fled one after another in the continuous explosions.

Their escape was correct, as soon as they left the city, a fire fell from the sky, and in just a few minutes, the whole of Busan was turned into a sea of fire.

Those Japanese soldiers who had no time to escape were all left in the sea of fire, one by one, covered in flames, desperately struggling, and then fell to the ground, their bodies getting smaller and smaller, but the flames became stronger and stronger.

After the handheld machine led the team emptied all the bombs and oil drums, the bullets in the cabin were strafed at the edge of the sea of fire. Patches of figures were torn apart, including Japanese soldiers, puppet soldiers, and expatriates, all within the range of the shot.

Junzi came out of the Great Black Mountain, he saw a lot of the Chinese people in the wreckage of the pioneer group, and saw a lot of the ugly faces of the Japanese army, and in his bones, he had the evil idea of killing all the Japanese, including the old and young, women and children. When Dong Ku was given permission to bomb Busan, his order was to attack all targets.

It means massacre, it means total slaughter. Bomb all targets. However, at night, how can you distinguish between Japanese soldiers, puppet soldiers, and expatriate civilians? No matter how good the pilot's vision is, he can't do it without accidental injury, right? Again. It's all mixed together, do you want the pilot to shoot accurately?

War, inevitably hurt civilians, Shunzi's approach is a bit excessive, but it is also reasonable, anyway, it is not a Chinese civilian, although a long time ago, they were the canonized state of the Qing Dynasty of China and a part of China.

Thousands of helicopters circled around Busan for half an hour. After all the bombs and oil drums were dumped, and the bullets were almost consumed, he turned around and returned to Daejeon, ending the air raid.

At this time, it was already dark before dawn, but Busan was as bright as day. The whole of Busan is surrounded by a sea of fire, and everything inside is burning in flames, and it is believed that this place was extinguished after the fire was extinguished. It will be a white field.

The port is gone, the houses are gone. There is zero chance of repair, only reconstruction. And the Japanese soldiers inside, even if they hide in the ditch, hiding in the ditch where the ice has melted and the water flows beautifully, they can't escape the pursuit of death.

The water was filled with burning oil. It's like magma, it flows and burns wherever it goes, so that there is no place here that is not wrapped in flames.

The Japanese army's defensive position, which began at a distance of 10 kilometers from Busan, was built in a circular defensive network. But that's it. There was no point anymore, because the whole position was full of flames, and the sky-high fire not only blew up grenades, mortar shells, but also those artillery positions, and in the fierce sea of fire, there was a violent explosion, destroying everything around.

However, the shock wave of the explosion caused a large area of open space to appear in the burning sea of fire, and when viewed in the sky, it was like an isolated island, looming in the sea of fire.

The losses of the Japanese army this time were quite huge, and the Japanese troops inside and outside the port combined exceeded two divisions, although there were most of the puppet troops, but there were also nearly one division of troops, which were burned to ashes by the flames.

Junko doesn't know how many people Lu Dao can burn to death, and there is no observation post at the scene, if he knows Lu Dao, I'm afraid he will continue to use this attack method in the future.

Dong Ku also didn't know that Lu Dao Shunzi's practice was to burn the city, and if he knew Lu Dao, he wouldn't agree. That's a bit too much, after all, there are still civilians in it, even if you shoot, burn, the people will be the same as the Japanese army, all of them will turn into ashes, it's too inhumane.

But this will, no matter what the result, the attack has been carried out, and he can't stop it, and as for the comments from the outside world, he can only bear it.

In Shanghai, after a break of more than an hour, Lieutenant General Keitaro Hatoyama, who was in charge of negotiations in Japan, couldn't wait to find Henry and George to prepare for the upcoming negotiations.

When Hatoyama met Henry first, he put the sincerity of the Japanese in Henry's hands. It was a box of gold bars, forty pounds, and a few exquisite utensils, all of which were priceless.

Henry looked at those things, smiled and said, "Hatoyama-kun, I think, should we stop the attack of the advance army first?" I heard that they have not had a truce. ”

Hatoyama Keitaro was overjoyed: "Mr. Ambassador, you are so right, the negotiations must be stopped first. I'll leave this matter to you. ”

"Okay, I'll go find Mr. Liu and have breakfast with him."

Henry didn't mean to leave Hatoyama, and stood up and said.

"Okay, it's inconvenient for me to meet with the representatives of the advance army before the negotiation, so I won't accompany you."

Hyotaro Hatoyama said as he stood up.

Henry smiled and sent off the guest, but did not hold back, nor did he say anything more.

He watched Hatoyama leave, sat back in his chair, drank coffee leisurely, and was not in a hurry to go to Longxiang International.

He was waiting, waiting for George, he knew that Hatoyama would feel George's there.

His guess was correct, and Hatoyama left the British Embassy and headed straight for the American Embassy, where he met George, offered the same sincerity, and received the same reply from George.

In the embassy, Henry put down the phone, smiled, waved his hand and motioned for the housekeeper to follow, and rushed to Longxiang International.

After receiving George's call, he personally called Liu Chengcheng and made an appointment to have breakfast together. Of course, it was with George.

Liu Yucheng had no pressure at this time, Dong Ku asked him to delay for three days, and he used the negotiation location to delay for a day and prepare for a day. And now, Dong Ku has accomplished the set goal, and he doesn't need to delay it any longer.

Meet the two ambassadors who came together. Liu Yucheng smiled and let the two of them into the small restaurant that had already been booked.

Henry and George sat at the table like old acquaintances, and under the concession of Liu Chengcheng, Heng used chopsticks to clip a soup dumpling, took a bite, and praised exaggeratedly: "Hmm! This pine needle soup dumpling tastes so good! Fresh and delicious!! ”

George was also accustomed to a Chinese breakfast, and when he heard Henry's praise, he also picked up a bun and took a bite. Then he said with the same exaggeration: "It's really beautiful! This fragrance is stronger than ever! ”

"Ha Lu Ha! It is rare for Mr. Ambassador to like Chinese breakfast, and I specially ordered someone to pick fresh red pine needles from the pine forests of the Xing'an Mountains, which have a stronger flavor than the leaves of these larch and cypress trees. ”

Liu Yucheng picked up a bun and said.

"Oh? Did it come by air? ”

Henry swallowed the bun in his mouth and asked incredulously.

"Yes, Mr. Ambassador."

Liu Yucheng stretched out his chopsticks and said: "Try this Liangpin, which is also a characteristic of the Northeast." ”

"What is this?"

Henry looked at the plate that was obviously a meat strip, and didn't see any meat, but he still took one and put it in his mouth.

As the strip of meat entered his mouth, his eyes narrowed and he chewed slowly. Half a ring only then opened his eyes and praised: "Great, tender and refreshing, delicate and not woody, I don't know what kind of meat this is?" ”

"This is the otter ridge in our northeastern forest, with mountain cabbage, mountain onions, mountain peppers. There are also frozen mushrooms and fungus fed, which are fresh and smooth, and have the fragrance of mountain and forest treasures, which cannot be eaten outside. ”

"Otter ......"

Henry and George no longer care about studying what an otter is. They were reserved, although they let go of the big food under the enthusiasm of Liu Chengcheng.

On the table said it was breakfast. In fact, it was four meat and vegetable cold spells, four mountain vegetables cold spells, and small ballast porridge outside, and the two people who ate them forgot the purpose of coming.

Half a ring, the two of them ate most of the food and ate all the dishes on the table. That's when I remembered the purpose of having breakfast together.

Henry glanced at George, who put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Mr. Liu, the Japanese negotiators have arrived, and we will act as a coordinator." I want to know when the negotiation will start, in fact, Henry and I hate this negotiation very much, as friends of General Dong, we would prefer to have a good time with Mr. than sit here and discuss those boring things. ”

Liu Yucheng smiled and said: "Our captain is worried about the two ambassadors, he can't get away from the battlefield, so he ordered me to prepare these to express his thoughts about you, as for the negotiations, you can start today, finish the talks early, save the people from the war as soon as possible, and let Liu have time to finish all the captain's instructions, but I still have good things, which the captain asked me to bring." ”

Liu Chengcheng's words made the two of them shine. Dong Ku was so worried about them that they could see that the banknotes were flying. They don't care about politics at this time, they care more about interests.

George picked up the porridge in front of him, took a sip and said: "General Dong is still thinking about his friends in his busy schedule, how can I forget it, I was in a hurry yesterday and didn't prepare anything, but I brought it today, Mr. Wangliu conveyed my thoughts." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and tapped it.

His attendant quickly walked into the small dining room, put the boxes he was holding on the table, and respectfully retreated.

Henry was not to be outdone, "Mr. Liu, I also have a few things that General Dong likes here, and I will convey them to Mr. Fan." ”

At his signal, his butler walked in with a few boxes in his hand and placed them respectfully on the table.

Liu Yucheng had already heard Zuo Boyang say that the way of nature was pretending to be a master and uncle here, but he would not open it in person, after all, it was not for him.

"Captain Liu has thanked you, I will definitely transfer the friendship between the two of you."

Where did Liu Yucheng know that these were all given to the two by Hatoyama Kyotaro, they just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and changed hands.

After he finished speaking, he motioned to his subordinates to put away their things, and then he said: "Mr. two ambassadors, I don't know if Lu Dao needs Liu's attention in this negotiation, can you give me a hint?" ”

Henry and George were worried about how to bring about a ceasefire in order to accomplish their mission, and when they heard about the defeat of Liu, they immediately had an excuse.

Henry straightened up and said: "That's right, since the dispute is to be settled through negotiation, then first there is an armistice, and then the demilitarized zone is drawn, and during the negotiation, there can be no armed dispute here." I don't know where the current position of the Guijun is, since it is determined to negotiate. Let's stop the military maneuver first, so that we can sit down and talk, and there is nothing else, and the rest is for you to discuss in detail with the Japanese. ”

"Oh......"

Liu Yucheng said suddenly: "This is easy to do, I will contact the captain and stop all military actions." ”

Liu Chengcheng's reaction made Henry very comfortable. They didn't want to have anything bad to Dong Ku in this matter, but they had to complete the task they had to explain, and they could get Liu Yucheng's understanding and cooperation so much, no one could be offended, and the matter was done, and both of them were naturally happy. It's just that the two of them didn't know what to do, and at this time, the advance army was not attacking Seoul, but taking Daejeon, south of Seoul. Gunsan and Andong, and burned Busan to the ground. The fire hasn't been extinguished yet.

The demilitarized zone has reached the edge of Korea, and the armistice is of little significance, the Japanese army has actually lost control of Korea, and the advance army has not attacked again.

When Keitaro Hatoyama finalized the pre-negotiation matters on their side, he also received a telegram from the headquarters. He saw the location of the advance army, and the abandoned Busan, and all previous ideas of negotiation were overturned. At this time. For the Japanese army, the armistice or not really made no sense. They had no chance to withdraw the materials and troops from Dalian, Lushun, and Yingkou, and they had no chance to withdraw the materials and troops from Renchuan and Pusan.

Is the advance army really invincible......

As an officer, Hyuntaro Hatoyama felt a sense of weakness rise in his heart. However, negotiations still have to be carried out, and if materials and troops cannot be withdrawn, then find a way to force the advance army to withdraw from North Korea.

He made up his mind and used it too early in a hurry. rushed to the restaurant of Longxiang International to negotiate......

After listening to Hatoyama's request, Liu Yucheng sneered: "Mr. Hatoyama, it's okay to withdraw the troops, our advance army has no idea of invading anyone." But do you think it's feasible to just evacuate? ”

Hatoyama did not answer directly: "The conditions for the withdrawal of your troops can be negotiated, but the withdrawal of troops is necessary, our Japanese Empire has all withdrawn from China, I think, Korea does not belong to your country, and your withdrawal should not be a problem." ”

"All withdrawn from China?"

Liu Yucheng picked up the teacup, took a sip and said: "Taiwan is still in your hands, Hideki Tojo, Seishiro Itagaki and Nakajima are still leading three or four hundred thousand troops near our Qinghai, this is all of you withdrawing from China?" Is this the sincerity of your negotiations? ”

Hatoyama took a sip of tea a little embarrassed and said: "Let's put these first, let's agree on the specific demilitarized zone, and then discuss them one by one, what do you think?" ”

"The demilitarized zone can be demarcated, with our current position, along the lines of Daejeon, Gunsan, and Andong, and push forward 10 kilometers as a demilitarized zone, and we will no longer attack."

Before Yanagi's words fell, Hatoyama Keitaro couldn't sit still. There is no difference between here and none, the speed of the advance army, less than 200 kilometers, can hit the entire territory in a few hours, and there is no room for buffer at all.

But he knew that it was not beneficial to provoke the advance army at this time, and fighting for interests was the most crucial. He thought for a moment, and said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Mr. Liu, I think, can this demilitarized zone be moved back, your artillery range is thirty kilometers away, and you can hit the vicinity of Gwangju here, this is not appropriate." ”

"What? You mean to let us withdraw to the north of Seoul? That's impossible! ”

Liu Chengcheng said aggressively, and there was a great tendency to continue the war without saying a word.

Hatoyama Keitaro knew that Japan had no chips at this time, and the hardness would only stiffen. He looked at Henry and George, who were calmly drinking coffee, asking for help, hoping that they could mediate.

Henry and George also knew that if the negotiations did not reach a consensus, if they broke down, their country might be involved in the war, and they were instructed to avoid escalation as much as possible, and no one was sure that they would win the advance army by land.

Seeing Hatoyama's pleading gaze, Henry coughed, spread out the map and said, "Mr. Liu, I speak as a mediator, but I do not speak on behalf of the interests of either side. ”

Liu Yucheng smiled and said, "Ambassador Henry, you say. ”

Henry and George knew that Dong Ku was still willing to maintain a good friendship with them, and he was not willing to break this harmony, and when he saw Liu Chengcheng speaking, he pointed to the map and said: "Your army has already passed most of Korea, and for a distance of 200 kilometers, your army can surprise in four hours. ”

George also nodded in agreement.

Liu Chengcheng had already received instructions from Dong Ku, of course, he would get off the donkey, and by the way, he would earn Henry and George's personal favor. Although he didn't expect anything from them, it was still necessary to make Britain and the United States temporarily stable through them, otherwise when World War II would start, Dong Ku didn't know what to do, once this side was chaotic and what the situation was like to put aside, his idea of completely destroying the Japanese army would probably have resistance.

"Since Ambassador Henry and Ambassador George have both said, I will give way, here, from Suwon to Gangneung, the most demilitarized zone is pushed forward by ten kilometers, and we will withdraw from Daejeon and Gunsan, as well as Anton, I wonder if Ambassador George and Ambassador Henry will be satisfied with this way?"

Giving up more than 200 kilometers at once, Henry and George knew that they were going to accept Dongku's favor, but this form was the best distance acceptable for them and Japan. After all, Liu Chengcheng has been bitten to death just now, and it is impossible to retreat to the north of Seoul, and now that he has given up three important towns and retreated more than 200 kilometers, what to say is probably to intensify the contradictions.

Hatoyama looked at the two of them with blank eyes, wondering if they would let the advance army retreat again and retreat to the north of Seoul. But he also knew that this was unrealistic. (To be continued......)
