Even the conceited and resourceful Shiraishi Tomohisa was the same as the two at this time, completely pinning his hopes on the military commander of the 15th Army, uh, in fact, Hu Weidong's personal instructions, because Hu Weidong knew the Japanese, Japanese soldiers, Japanese high-level and even Japanese society, even these three Japanese, they couldn't admit it

Because the special forces have successfully captured the devil's plane many times before, Hu Weidong is not particularly surprised by the more than 80 Japanese naval aviation planes that cannot be said to have been completely in their hands at present. However, after learning that the Japanese column had actually captured thirteen ships, including one battleship of more than 30,000 tons, his mouth opened wide in surprise for a while, and if it were not for the telegram sent back by the underground party in Qingdao City and the report of the Japanese column, even if he had a certain degree of trust in several leading cadres of the Japanese column, he would definitely think that they were lying

Although it is known that aircraft carriers will rise during World War II, and the former overlord battleships will have since declined, how many men are not obsessed with "giant ships and cannons"? What's more, Hu Weidong is still a Shijie-class artillery expert, so he clearly knows that these ships will definitely not be able to be saved, but he still racks his brains to think of ways to keep those warships, especially the "battleship".

"Without investigation and study, there is no right to speak" is the code of conduct that Hu Weidong has always followed, so for the time being, he only gave two instructions: "delay the negotiation with the base camp" and "suspend the export of materials from Qingdao so as not to arouse suspicion." At the same time, he asked the Japanese to report to the military commander after ascertaining the types and corresponding quantities of captured ships and planes, so as to facilitate the decision-making in the next step. The telegram has just been sent. Hu Weidong's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly asked the telegraph operator to send another telegram to Rizong, and supplemented and improved the previous order

"Wonderful! It's wonderful! Worthy of being a military commander! After listening to the telegrapher's interpretation, Tomohisa Shiraishi couldn't help but blurt out admiration, but for now, Nippon still had to negotiate with the Japanese headquarters headquarters first to buy time, especially he needed to determine which of the naval crews and pilots of the Army and Navy could be won over or coerced. If this problem is not solved, even if the ship is in hand, it will not be able to drive scrap metal, and there is no hope of keeping it

Under the guidance of Hu Weidong. In a telegram, Tomohisa Shiraishi expressed the hope that a member of the imperial family would come to Qingdao on behalf of Emperor Bixia to listen to the voices of the lower-level officers and soldiers of the army, and that as long as Emperor Bixia could face up to the reasonable demands of the officers and men at the grassroots level of the army, he "Yajiro Kobayashi" was willing to lay down his arms and accept the trial of a military court

Emperor Hirohito's greatest hatred was to commit rebellion. I wanted to ignore it and directly send troops to suppress it, but the land minister and the sea minister reached a rare agreement, and invariably advised the emperor to consider the request of the mutinous soldiers. Although the mutiny is a great rebellion, it can make the navy, which has always been arrogant, so disgraced, that these high-ranking officials also feel that their faces are bright; If troops are sent to suppress it, no less than 20,000 naval prisoners of war in Qingdao are likely to be "torn up," and even more than a dozen ships, including the King Kong-class battleship, may be blown up and sunk by the desperate rebels, which will be a big loss for the navy.

And more importantly, now it is impossible for the Japanese army to send enough troops to Qingdao to quell the chaos. It must be known that Shandong is now entrenched in the powerful Chinese 15th Army, if only tens of thousands of people are sent over, maybe it will be enough to suppress the rebels, but if the 15th Army suddenly comes over at this time, then these troops are not equivalent to being sent to die? I want to make sure it's safe. Either it has to send more than 100,000 elites to Qingdao, and in fact, it is impossible for Japan, which has just sent an additional 100,000 troops to Manchuria, to squeeze out so many combat-effective field troops in a short period of time; Either you have to send a strong enough fleet, but again, it will take a long time. Besides, who can guarantee that the rebels will not surrender to the Chinese in exchange for protection when cornered? If that's the case, it's a big problem...,

Of course, preparations for sending troops still have to be done. If the negotiation goes well, then it is naturally best, and if it does not go well, then it is better as a delaying tactic. So inadvertently, the two sides actually chose almost exactly the same strategy. But when he really wanted to send someone over, Emperor Hirohito was worried about the candidate, and the other party pointed out that he must be a member of the imperial family, but although there were many candidates, it was obvious that the real power person could not be sent, in case the rebels got a new hostage with weight, but if the status was not noble enough, Emperor Hirohito was afraid that the rebels would be suspicious, so he could only choose one of his three brothers as a special envoy.

At first, Emperor Hirohito wanted to send his second brother, Prince Yoshihito of Chichibu Palace, who had been eyeing his throne, to remove a disaster if he died, but soon Emperor Hirohito was worried that his second brother would collude with those rebels, so this candidate was denied. Hirohito was planning to make Prince Nobuhito of Takamatsunomiya, the third child, an envoy, but Nobuhito, who was afraid of being detained or even killed by the rebels, asked his younger brother, Prince Takahito Mikasanomiya, who was under the age of thirteen, to ask for help(Note 1), and Hirohito felt that having a teenager as an envoy would show his contempt for the rebels, and that the possibility of being killed by the rebels as a teenager was much smaller than that of the third brother, who was already an adult and belonged to the naval faction, so he agreed to his request. Although he was young, he was smart and clever since he was a child (Note 2), and as a descendant of the imperial family, he had always been educated by Haode, and as for social etiquette, it was a compulsory course, so it was not necessarily impossible to complete this important task, and Hirohito also sent his teacher, Masanobu Tsuji, a well-known "jackal staff officer" among the lower-ranking officers and soldiers of the Japanese Army, to accompany him, confident that even if the negotiations failed, he would not make jokes.

Note 1: Historically, Chongren's stance turned to anti-war when he came to China as an adult, witnessed the numerous crimes committed by the Japanese army against the Chinese people, and learned about the strict discipline of the Eighth Route Army in North China.

Note 2: This guy graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School at the age of 10 and graduated from the Army University before the age of 16. Perhaps it was because of his intelligence and sanity that he was not completely led astray by his teacher, "Jackal Counselor" Masanobu Tsuji (welcome to your support, is my biggest motivation.) )
