The location of the negotiations was chosen early in an open field away from the green-painted area, where the traversers set up a makeshift field tent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Folding tables and chairs were placed in the info tent, and a simple meeting room was completed.

The reason why the negotiations were held in many places far away from the bases was not only to prevent the Japanese from peeking into the bases in the green paint area, but also because the location was chosen near the midpoint of the battle lines of the two sides, which could reflect the sincerity of the people who crossed the negotiations, at least they themselves thought so. In order to create the illusion that they were confused by the Japanese army, so that they could expose their hidden combat intentions more quickly.

Koike Shunichi did not feel the slightest relief because the location of the negotiations was relatively close to the Japanese position in Puranden. He felt that even if the place of negotiation was chosen in the bunker of the Japanese army in Pulandian, he would not feel any sense of security if he negotiated with the 1st Volunteer Brigade. In mid-November, the 1st Volunteer Brigade attacked and harassed the Japanese army's combat units on this front, which made the entire 1st Division talk about the tiger's color. Those Japanese soldiers who were not on the front line of Pulandian prayed morning and evening not to be transferred there. And those Japanese troops in Pulandian are looking forward to an early change of defense.

This time, in addition to Koike Shunichi, the Japanese army also sent an interpreter and a clerk to negotiate, and Krielman and Koeman were also qualified to accompany the interview.

Of course, Motoharu Yamachi originally objected to the two reporters who had ruined his deceitful plan to accompany the interview. What are you kidding, this is not the highlight of the Japanese army, they are now going to redeem their noble officers. How could this allow the media to witness such an imperial indecent moment, and Motoharu Yamachi vetoed the applications of Krielman and Koeman.

However, Koike Shunichi went to the station of the 1st Division in Fuzhou City and pleaded with the commander of the 1st Division, Motoji Yamachi, on behalf of the two reporters. Of course, Koike Shunichi is not running for the sake of freedom of the press, he is thinking about his own life.

After the rout at the headquarters of the 1st Division at the beginning of the month, Krielman and Koeman met the rapidly advancing mechanized units of the 1st Division at the rear station. Zhao Yi made the decision to release the wounded Japanese prisoners of war, of course, those who had intelligence value and Chinese identity were not among them. During this period, in order to create public opinion in favor of the public, Zhao Yi even mentioned the Geneva Conventions, whose provisions have not yet been formed.

Just as the Crossing Crowd misjudged the Japanese army's intention to negotiate this time, Koike Shunichi also misjudged the 1st Volunteer Brigade's move to release the wounded prisoners of war. He felt that the First Volunteer Brigade had made such a move simply to win the support of public opinion in the international community. I didn't guess that the purpose of releasing those people was to save food and precious modern medical resources.

Koike Shunichi felt that bringing two reporters with him would make his personal safety more secure, like an insurance policy. Although the Chinese people have a tradition of "two armies fighting, not beheading", he only led people to ambush their patrol a few days ago. He really didn't dare to guarantee that the First Volunteer Brigade would not shoot him with a black gun, and it would be safer to bring those two British and American journalists as talismans.

For Shunichi Koike, who said cruel words and would not accept this task without a reporter, Genji Yamachi was also very helpless. There was really no more suitable person than him, he was a high-ranking military officer of Chinese origin, and the envoy who had been appointed was more able to accept him to lead the negotiations. If there is a different candidate, if the negotiation process is blocked, and the families behind the envoy make things worse, the situation of the mountain Genji will be even worse.

Koike Shunichi and his party came to this field tent located in the open field, although Koike Shunichi was also curious about everything in the tent, but he was still reserved as a Chinese.

Isn't it a good professional attitude for Crielman, an American, who doesn't have this burden, and who keeps a high level of attention to anything new as a journalist.

First of all, he was most interested in which electric heater, he thought it was incredible, this thing had no open flame, and it didn't smell any burning smoke. It was quietly placed there, emitting a warm air, and the whole tent was warm.

When the negotiators didn't arrive, Krillman asked the staff who were receiving them in the tent how the heater worked. The staff told him that the heater was powered by electricity, and that it was built with mineral oil that was resistant to high temperatures, and that when heated by electricity, the temperature would rise and radiate heat to the surroundings.

Mineral oil? Isn't that all flammable and explosive? There is also a mineral oil that can withstand high temperatures? It seems that the chemical level and mechanical processing ability of these people are very high, and this small heater reflects a lot of their technology, Krielman thought to himself.

Although Koeman was curious about the novelty, he chose to sit in a chair and enjoy the tea and snacks provided by the crowd. Travelers provided coffee, tea, biscuits and fruit platters in the tents.

Koeman held a stainless steel teacup, trying to make his movements as graceful as possible, but he failed. The teacup was made of very good material, but it was so big that no matter how much Koman fiddled with it, he drank it like a low-class man on the streets of London who made a living by selling his labor.

But soon Mr. Coman was no longer dwelling on this, and his attention was first drawn to the material of the teacup. At first he was amazed that the First Volunteer Brigade had not used the porcelain that the Chinese were most proud of as a tea set for entertaining them, but then he found that the metal teacup was so bright that it could be used as a mirror, and that it was much brighter than the fine silverware.

However, judging from the silly and thick shape of the teacup, it is very likely that this kind of teacup is for soldiers. The teacups made of such fine materials were used as personal dining equipment for the soldiers, and the equipment of the First Volunteer Brigade was extravagant? However, considering that this unit is a unit with members of the royal family, this level of configuration is also very understandable, which country's royal guard is not desperately piling equipment in the direction of the high, it is the face of the country.

Koeman was not upset that he was served with soldiers' utensils. He felt that based on the style of the noble commander he had met last time, he must not carry any fancy and decent tea sets with the army. This kind of person who charges with the soldiers will definitely use the same items as his subordinates, it must be like this. Koman silently washed the floor for Zhao Yi in his heart.

Koike Shunichi also had an indescribable sour taste in his heart, looking at the snacks and fruit plates on the dining cart pushed by the receptionist, he felt that General Oyama Yan's plan to trap the First Volunteer Brigade in Thirty Mile Fort was not known when it would be realized.

The people of the First Volunteer Brigade actually made a big fruit bowl out of pears, apples, and oranges in the winter, as well as those snacks of various flavors. Now that the weather was getting colder, the Japanese had to give their soldiers rations in full so that they had enough calories to maintain their body temperature. This measure caused the Japanese army's food reserves to drop rapidly. In this era, the limited capacity of coal-burning steamships, and the fact that the Japanese army did not occupy ports with wharves in Liaodong, made it difficult to supply logistics.

However, the 1st Volunteer Brigade was able to supply fresh fruit and these sweet snacks. How did they do it, the nearby were all Imperial Navy cruising warships, and it was never reported that they had a fleet to provide supplies.

It must be the Chinese people who are playing tricks and piecing together something to confuse us and make us misestimate their material reserves, it must be like this. Shunichi Koike constantly cheered himself up in his heart.

Although constantly hinting at themselves, these are all tricks of the Chinese people. But Shunichi Koike's mouth is really honest, and he hasn't stopped chewing since he picked up the snack for the first time. The taste of these things is just too good, crunchy and sweet biscuits, fluffy and soft little cakes, fresh and juicy fruit platter. Koike Shunichi, who had been gnawing on military rations on the Liaodong Peninsula for a month, had already thrown his reserve when he first entered the tent to the ends of the earth.

Koman on the side was also smacking his lips, commenting that this black tea must be the top black tea produced in India, and the quality of the milk added is also very good. The only drawback is that the shape of this teacup is really a style that he can't appreciate.

The food provided by the "director team" is all high-end goods of EU food safety standards, and the reason why the people who travel through them hates these foods is not only that their styles are all Western-style, but also that they are in the light curtain of the dome, and they eat these things every day, which is really fed up.

However, in the eyes of these people who have just entered the tent, these things are really high-end goods.
