At the beginning of the negotiations, Ou Shounian raised a question: Our political axe is very sincere in solving the issue of overseas Chinese in Shanghai, and has accepted all the unreasonable terms put forward by the Chinese side, but why did the Chinese side attack our Zhabei defenders for no reason?

The representative of the Yue side in charge of the negotiations, the consul general in Shanghai, Murai Kuramatsu, faced the question raised by Ou Shounian and said with a sneer, "Attack Zhabei for no reason? General Ou, I'm afraid that's not the case! As far as I know, it was the defenders of your country who arrested me without authorization, and I said that the imperial army was forced to send troops to be stationed in Zhabei in the rear, and this matter is related to the safety of the lives and property of the overseas Chinese in our empire, and it is where the dignity of our empire lies, and how can the imperial army of our empire stand idly by. ”

Hearing Murai Kuramatsu's fart-like remarks, Ou Shounian was furious at that time, and stood up with a slap on the table, "Protect the expatriate? Armored vehicles need to be dispatched just to protect the diaspora? Dozens of planes bombed China's Zhabei residential buildings several times in a row, causing a large number of innocent civilian casualties in our country. On 28 January, when the incident occurred, our army was changing its guard and preparing to retreat in accordance with your demands. If he hadn't known that this was a negotiation, Ou Shounian would have endured the anger in his heart, otherwise he would have rushed up a long time ago, and the little devil who slapped him was looking for teeth all over the place, where would he talk so much nonsense to him.

Murai Kuramatsu sneered and looked at the angry Ou Shounian in front of him, "Hmph! Does General District mean I'm lying? ”

Lie? ** It's just farting, Ou Shounian scolded angrily in his heart. Under the persuasion of the British and American consuls, Ou Shounian suppressed the anger in his heart and sat back in his chair, "Ambassador Murai, the negotiations between the two countries have been sincere, and I am sitting with you to seek a peaceful solution, rather than blindly listening to you shirk responsibility. However, since the beginning of the negotiations, Mr. Ambassador has not had the slightest sincerity in easing the situation, and has repeatedly distorted the facts without regard for the truth. We can promise you that as long as your army stops attacking Shanghai, we will specially allocate police forces to protect the safety of overseas Chinese in China. ”

Murai Kuramatsu sneered, "Protection? What protection do you have? With all due respect, your [***] squad is simply vulnerable, how can such an army protect the safety of our diaspora. Instead of letting them protect our overseas Chinese, it is better to let me say that the Imperial Army is stationed in Zhabei, and only in this way can we more effectively ensure the safety of the lives and property of the overseas Chinese of our Imperial Empire. ”

"Haha! Ha ha! Ou Shounian laughed angrily, "You say we are vulnerable? But it is these vulnerable troops in your mouth that have captured the headquarters of the Hongkou Marine Corps, which you are heavily garrisoned, if we are vulnerable? So what do you call this army? ”

"Yaga! You have insulted us and called our Imperial Army. Murai Kuramatsu said loudly in annoyance, but thinking that what Ou Shounian said was also true, he couldn't help but scold those marines for their waste.

"Baga, your grandma!" Ou Shounian was also angry at the moment, "I warn you, stop attacking Shanghai immediately, if Shiozawa Xing dares to offend me repeatedly, I will make him die without a place to be buried." ”

In the end, the first day of negotiations broke up unhappily, and if it were not for the persuasion of the British and American consuls, it would have been possible to stage an all-military march at the negotiation venue.

Jin Zhao, who is still familiar with this period of history, naturally does not hope that this negotiation can peacefully resolve the Shanghai incident, so in the past day, Jin Zhao has been busy expanding his strength. Although two-thirds of the weapons exchanged yesterday were removed by the brigade commander, one-third were still hidden by Jin Zhao in advance. So in terms of weapons and equipment, the first battalion was strengthened a lot. But in terms of troops, after several major battles, Jin Zhao's battalion has lost hundreds of people, although dozens of system soldiers such as Xu Wenqiang have been summoned, plus the addition of the volunteer army led by Ding Li, Jin Zhao's current strength is only more than 400 people. Thinking about the fierce battle to be faced in the future, this amount of strength is really stretched, so Jin Zhao did not hesitate to open the system again and began to summon system warriors.

At this time, Jin Zhao has successfully been promoted to the third level and can summon third-level talents, but each third-level warrior needs 20 summon points, and now Jin Zhao only has more than 300 summon points left, and if all the third-level characters are summoned, he can only summon 16 people at most. In the end, Jin Zhao decided to summon 10 third-level talents and twenty second-level talents, spending a total of 300 summon points, looking at the only dozens of summon points left, Jin Zhao was speechless for a while. However, what makes Jin Zhao excited is that the system summons characters can be upgraded, but upgrading requires certain conditions, for soldiers, the condition for upgrading is military merit, after yesterday's battle, Xu Wenqiang, who has been following Jin Zhao, has successfully promoted to the third level. After the upgrade, the system characters can adjust their surname points to control the future development direction. Xu Wenqiang was trained by Jin Zhao as a commanding talent, so Jin Zhao used all the additional surname points to increase Xu Wenqiang's command ability, so although Xu Wenqiang was upgraded, his combat effectiveness did not increase. In addition, as a sniper, Wang An was also successfully upgraded to the third level, and after adding the surname point, Wang An was successfully promoted from a junior sniper to an intermediate sniper, and was appointed by Jin Zhao as the sergeant squad leader of the sniper squad.

The newly summoned thirty system soldiers, under Jin Zhao's instructions, came to the station of the first battalion in several batches, asking to join the army to kill the Japanese resistance, Jin Zhao naturally accepted them without hesitation, and assigned them to each company according to their ability.

At about 9 a.m. on 31 January, 17 enemy planes circled over our positions for about an hour and came and went several times in the concession. At about 3 p.m., enemy planes appeared in the air again, and at this time, the consuls of various countries and the military representatives of Hua said were negotiating a truce at the British Consular Office in Shanghai.

During the negotiations, the representatives of the Chinese side repeatedly demanded that the Chinese army withdraw from Zhabei and demanded that our side take full responsibility for the conflict and compensate the Chinese side for its losses. Naturally, Ou Shounian, as our representative, would not agree to the unreasonable demands of the other side, so the negotiations broke up again the next day.

At this time, the condolences of the people in Shanghai became more enthusiastic, and the staff were overwhelmed. All the arcade corridors and open spaces inside and outside the office are full of various condolence materials sent by the people of Shanghai. Some of them could not come in person, so they sent all kinds of food, clothing, medicine and other condolences by mail, and some went directly to the front line to distribute the food they usually saved to the soldiers of the 19th Route Army who fought bravely on the front line. Needless to say, the soldiers felt it for the first time, and they were excited.
