Chapter 450: Negotiation is procrastination

The bottom line of Chairman Chiang's negotiations with Wang Chonghui was that the status quo should be maintained, the Japanese would no longer be allowed to get involved in Shanghai, the Japanese would withdraw their troops from East China, and the Japanese concession could be retained, but the Japanese would absolutely not be able to station troops in Shanghai and its surroundings, and China would only send police forces to maintain social order in Shanghai.

But now the condition given by the Japanese is to demand that the original status quo ante be restored, and it is said that Chairman Chiang has already given the bottom line, but he will not give it, and Wang Chonghui also thinks that the Japanese are ridiculous, is this to negotiate? It's just signing an alliance under the city, ridiculous, Wang Chonghui shook his head again and again, looked at Kono Hashitaro's gushing mouth, and said secretly in his heart.

After Kono Hashitaro finished speaking, he looked up at Wang Chonghui, the chief representative of the Chinese side, waiting for his reply, he knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for the Chinese side to agree to such harsh conditions with the power of victory, and he was like a businessman who threw out a high price first, and then bargained.

Judging from his experience, this negotiation, without many bargaining, will not have any results, drag on for a month or two, that is a normal thing, and the base camp also requires the attention of the Chinese high command to attract the attention of this negotiation, when the time comes, the situation changes, and when the Chinese understand, it will be too late, and the result can only be beneficial to the Japanese.

Wang Chonghui knew in his heart that he, the chief representative, was just to master some basic foreign etiquette and procedures in order to be equal to the Japanese foreign counterparts, in fact, the one who mastered the whole situation was Vice Chairman Tang, who was sitting beside him and his expression had not changed, and Chairman Jiang was also like this to him, so he set his sights on Tang Qiuli.

Tang Qiuli smiled, there was indescribable contempt and sarcasm in his smile, the Japanese were kicked in the head by a donkey? In the case of his own Songhu fiasco, and put forward such shameless and even ridiculous conditions, they have no sincerity to negotiate at all, and they are not even interested in talking nonsense with them, he signaled to Wang Chonghui and come up with our conditions.

The conditions of the two sides are far apart, there is no basis for negotiation at all, and the menacing threats of those Japanese generals, the Great Japanese Empire, have already tolerated the brutal acts of the squadron, and do not regard our forbearance as weakness and bullying

When General Zhang Zhizhong heard this, he was furious on the spot, but he fought a bloody battle with the Japanese for more than ten days, and more than 80,000 of his soldiers fell on the outskirts of Shanghai. It's really a big joke, who started the August 13 incident in Shanghai first? And who shot our soldiers first? You know very well in your hearts that Shanghai was originally our territory, and it was bought with the blood and lives of tens of thousands of our soldiers, how can you let these men be defeated"

Zhang Zhizhong's remark touched the wounds of the Japanese, and several high-ranking Japanese generals became angry and glared at Zhang Zhizhong viciously, but there was nothing to say, the naval corps stationed in Shanghai was completely annihilated, and Matsui's Shanghai dispatch army was defeated miserably, this is an indisputable fact, no matter how hard his mouth is, he loses under his fist.

Tang Qiuli bowed slightly towards General Zhang Zhizhong, these few words are strong enough, treat these Japanese, just can't be polite, it's not enough, sprinkle a handful of salt on the wounds of the Japanese, it's best to break down the negotiations, Chairman Jiang throws away his illusions, and fights the Japanese to the end wholeheartedly, and he saves himself time in this, and it is uncomfortable to look at the Japanese.

He said very politely to Kono Hashitaro: "Mr. Kono, I want to ask you about the current situation of a few old friends," Kono looked dazed, he didn't know which old friends Tang Qiuli was talking about? Besides, this devil did not ask himself about his friend.

"Your country's General Muto Nobuyoshi, General Tashiro Wanichiro, and General Itagaki Seishiro will come in?" As soon as Tang Qiuli's words were finished, Zhang Zhi and others couldn't help it, and they also took care that it was an occasion outside Jiāo, and laughed heartily, these unlucky ghosts, who used to be commanders at the military level on the Japanese side, were all planted in the hands of Vice Chairman Tang, and among them, Itagaki was even a ghost under the knife, Vice Chairman Tang was deliberately making the Japanese cry

Kono's face turned iron-blue, and the senior generals of the Japanese army gritted their teeth even more, eager to eat Tang Qiuli, but this devil looked innocent and had a harmless smile on his face, which was even more hateful, but what could he say? Several of them were all cut off by this person, and the negotiations broke up unhappily.

In view of the huge difference between the positions of China and Japan, there is no basis for negotiations, and he needs to ask his own government whether the conditions can be modified, and also the Chinese side can revise the conditions, so that the positions of the two sides will be close to the same, laying the foundation for the next negotiations, and three days later, the second round of negotiations will be held, and the two sides will come up with various revised conditions.

Wang Chonghui also meant this, and there was no way to talk about it at all, he needed to go to Chairman Chiang and report the conditions of the Japanese, and it was estimated that Chairman Chiang would be very angry.

Sure enough, after listening to Wang Chonghui's report, Chairman Chiang turned blue with anger, and scolded loudly: "Niang Xipi is too much for the Japanese to bully people, this is an alliance under the city, sue the Japanese, he can't enter Shanghai with a single soldier" Chairman Chiang was angry, and he still hoped to reach an agreement with the Japanese that was favorable to China.

He made some revisions to China's bottom line, that the Japanese concession could be restored, that the Japanese nationals would continue to enjoy the same treatment as other powers, that Japan could send police forces to maintain the security of the Japanese concession together with the Chinese police force, and that the rest could never be changed, and that Chairman Chiang had lingering fears about the presence of Japanese troops in Shanghai, that Nanjing was too close to Shanghai, and that the Japanese troops were approaching Shanghai and could directly threaten Nanjing, and that Shanghai was the front line, and that the first capture of Nanjing by the Nationalist Government would be extremely dangerous under the Japanese troops.

And Tang Qiuli had long forgotten about the negotiations, and he really had no interest in pondering this farce full of deception, even if the Japanese did not make such a ridiculous request and agreed to the conditions of the national government, the troops in the Songhu area would not relax their vigilance a little, because this so-called negotiation was simply a smokescreen.

He took advantage of the time spent in the past few days to rush to the Sulu Mobile Corps, which was deployed in Hangzhou Bay, and the two infantry regiments, one heavy artillery regiment, and one air defense regiment reinforced by the Taihang Mountain base area had already arrived on 30 September.

Tang Qiuli took a comprehensive look at the defense system of the troops, and couldn't stop praising it, Brother Qiusheng said with a smile on the side: "Division commander, this is all the credit of the chief of staff, he has carried out a lot of transformation of the defense system according to the experience of Shanghai's peripheral defensive warfare, and the batch of mines replenished by the base area have all been buried in the ground by him, if the Japanese plan to land from here, they will have to suffer."

Chang Feng just smiled, Tang Qiuli looked at the rising generals of this independent division with appreciation, and already had a plan to let him be alone, the soldiers saw that the division commander had personally arrived at the front line, and they were all excited to talk to him, the Sulu Mobile Corps was developed on the old foundation of the first and second brigades of the independent division, left in Dingbian, it turned out that those old soldiers all served as battalion and company platoon commanders, and the vast majority of the soldiers were the first time to see their legendary division commander.

A word about him, these soldiers, can't listen enough, always pestering the company platoon commanders to tell the story of the independent division before, when they meet today, they are so young that they are surprised, how like a majestic general, he doesn't laugh or speak, he is so kind to everyone, similar to his younger brother, his fear has been completely eliminated, and he feels that it is his blessing to follow such a person.

After pondering it carefully, there is an indescribable energy in the body of the division commander, especially his eyes, when looking at you, they seem to be able to see through all the thoughts in your heart, so that you have the feeling of unconsciously following him anywhere, Tang Qiuli is very happy to have close contact with the soldiers, especially the newly recruited soldiers, with them, I feel like I have returned to the previous kind of going into battle to kill the enemy, and the joy of the Japanese is dripping.

This feeling made him feel very comfortable, since he played such a big stall, the opportunity to get out of the army has been deprived by Mei Ting and Shanhu, at noon, he refused Brother Qiusheng and Chang Feng's request to eat at the headquarters, ran to an infantry company, and a large group of soldiers huddled together, and ate a big meal happily.

He looked up in surprise, and saw Mei Ting looking at himself with disgust, followed by eight soldiers of the Special Guards, it turned out that as soon as Mei Ting turned around, Tang Qiuli disappeared, and he was not looking for it everywhere in the headquarters.

This is the front line, not only the troops of the independent division, not far ahead, there are also troops of other systems, and the personnel are miscellaneous, no one dares to guarantee that there is no Japanese spy hún in it, this is a good opportunity to start, the mountain tiger is also anxious, and trained several of Tang Qiuli's personal guards, everyone looks for them separately, or the husband and wife have telepathy, and they were caught by Mei Ting on the spot.

The soldiers may not know that this is Mrs. Tang, but they can recognize her military rank, which is only available to the regiment commanders, and there are several officers behind them who are obviously different from their own equipment and full of murderous energy, knowing that this beautiful colonel is not an ordinary person, and they are all surprised to see the division commander being escorted away by the NV colonel in frustration.

It happened that the company commander heard that the division commander had arrived at his company, and hurried over, only to see the back of the division commander, and when he saw the soldiers like this, he told them, it was the wife of our division commander, and the soldiers suddenly realized, and then laughed violently, the division commander who commanded hundreds of thousands of horses, there must be such a beautiful and powerful lady, it must be painful and happy

Tang Qiuli complained to Mei Ting, everyone is worried about you, and there are no guards, how dangerous it is to run out alone, saying, there seemed to be tears in her beautiful big eyes, Tang Qiuli was so frightened that she hurriedly made a promise that she would never commit it again, Mei Ting smiled happily.

In the afternoon, Tang Qiu left the forefront position, in front of which was the defensive position of Zhang Fakui's Eighth Army, he carefully observed it with a telescope, his face gradually sank, and he couldn't see Qiu Sheng and Chang Feng on the side.
