Chapter 102: Unsuccessful Peace Talks

Luo Dianchen, escorted by two Huo family soldiers, walked into the well-defended barracks full of tents!

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, he couldn't stop observing these soldiers who seemed extremely mysterious in the eyes of their Dutch!

A camouflage sè canvas military uniform, which is different from the military uniforms of various countries nowadays, although it looks very weird, but he still finds that this military uniform is really quite practical from the bulging pockets above, and it can't help but be able to carry a lot of ammunition, and it is not easy to wear!

Moreover, he also found that the rifles in the hands of the soldiers were quite good, although they were slightly shorter than the standard rifles of European countries today, they were just suitable for the use of Orientals who were slightly shorter in height! However, he did not know why, the caliber of these rifles was so small, at least more than 3mm smaller than the 11mm rifles of various countries!

"What is the power of this rifle?" Luo Dianchen thought puzzled! Of course, if he knew that the Huo Jiajun had now abandoned the black powder and used the more powerful and safer smokeless gunpowder, he might understand the benefits of reducing the caliber of the rifle!

"What kind of gun is that?" Luo Dian looked at the heavy gun with a thick muzzle and a large tube wrapped around the body of the gun, and thought in surprise!

"Could this be the kind of powerful gun that Hendrick said?" To be honest, he had really never seen or heard of this kind of firearm! Although he didn't know the power of this kind of gun now, but from its thick caliber and huge body, it could be seen that the kind of even shè gun was really not easy to mess with!

Looking at the group of jeong rui soldiers around him, who were carrying rifles and were in charge of patrolling the jǐng ring, Luo Dianchen's mood became heavy, "I'm afraid the task assigned to me by the Governor is probably very difficult to complete!"

"Report!"

"Come in!"

As a calm and majestic voice came from the military tent, Luo Dianchen, escorted by the soldiers, walked into the heavily defended tent located in the entire military camp!

There are no extra decorations in the tent except for hanging maps, a few tables and guns neatly arranged in the corners, and it looks very simple!

"You are the envoy they said was sent by the Dutch Governor's Office to negotiate peace with us?" Wang Xiangzong asked calmly as he looked at the middle-aged white man who walked in with a slightly uneasy expression.

Luo Dianchen looked at the Chinese officer in front of him with an extraordinary bearing in camouflage uniform! He couldn't understand what the other party was saying at all, because he couldn't understand anything else except for the Chinese language that required him to memorize a few words like 'I am a Dutch envoy' and 'peace negotiations' because of the task before he came!

Looking at the look on the Dutchman's face, Wang Xiangzong couldn't help frowning, he didn't know any foreign languages!"It's troublesome now!" The language barrier between the two sides is not good, this problem is not easy to solve!

Seeing that both sides were at a loss because of their lack of preparation, Wang Ting smiled faintly and volunteered: "Commander, I'll come! I know Dutch!"

Glancing at him in surprise, Wang Xiangzong immediately smiled with some surprise: "Is it? After getting along all these days, I didn't know that you actually knew a foreign language, it seems that you military cadets are better than us halfway monks!"

"Hehe, the division commander praised me! Compared with the division commander's experience in leading troops, I am still too far behind!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this, you can help me ask what this guy's name is, what is the purpose of coming to our third division?" Wang Xiangzong also knew that it was not the time to chat, so after praising his subordinates a few more words, he got to the point!

Luo Dianchen looked at the two of them in confusion and pointed at him and said that he was talking and laughing, but he didn't know what they were talking about at all! At this time, he also knew that the problem was big, and when he came, he actually forgot to bring an entourage who knew Chinese!

"This is the Chinese People's Army, the Third Division of the Marine Corps! Who are you?" Just when Luo Dianchen was depressed and at a loss, a fluent Dutch dialect came from the mouth of the young officer next to him who looked to be in his early twenties!

Hearing this, Luo Dianchen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Hello, I am an official of the Dutch colony in the East Indies, and my name is Luo Dianchen! I came here today because I was appointed by the Governor to discuss with you, can you and I stop the current war and coexist peacefully!" He just took what Governor Mondric had said to him and said it all!

"Division commander, this Dutchman's name is Luo Dianchen, and he was appointed by the Dutch Governor of the East Indies to negotiate peace with us!"

"Ask them what conditions they have, if they surrender now, we can give them the treatment of prisoners of war and guarantee their personal safety in accordance with the requirements of the Rì Neiva Convention, otherwise we will tell him to go back, we don't have time to soak mushrooms in this matter!" Wang Xiangzong frowned and ordered.

Hearing his words, Wang Ting nodded clearly, turned his head and continued to ask: "Since you want to negotiate peace, then talk about your conditions, if it is suitable, we will consider it!"

"Can I know what your name is?" asked Luo Dianchen with some curiosity.

He frowned slightly, but Wang Ting quickly replied: "Chinese People's Army Army Cadet Non-commissioned Officer, current staff officer of the Third Marine Division, Wang Ting!" Because the study system of the Huojia Army Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy is three years, so he has not graduated yet, but after being sent out to the army for internship for a period of time, he will return to school to continue his studies, so now Wang Ting has always been a trainee non-commissioned officer and has no military rank!

"I'm sorry, I want to see the supreme commander of your army! After all, this peace talk involves the face of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and I don't think Your Excellency can decide!"

"Mr. Luo Dianchen, I solemnly tell you that standing beside me now is our Third Marine Division, Brigadier General Division Commander Wang Xiangzong! So, if you have anything to say, I will translate it for you!" Wang Ting smiled faintly, and he was not angry, the arrogance of these Westerners had already been felt by him in the previous war! Many Dutch colonial troops who were defeated, surrendered or captured, especially the officers, demanded that the Huo family army should treat their wounds and illnesses in accordance with the requirements of the Rì Neiva Convention, and provide hot water, Medicine and a warm and comfortable house!The concept of 'white supremacy' made them completely forget their identity as prisoners! Unfortunately, they were facing the Huo family army, not the Qing Dynasty or the indigenous army of the Indochina Peninsula, so the result was very tragic, and they all went to build railways and dig coal mines for the Huo family army under the orders of the young master Huo!

Although Luo Dianchen was angry at the arrogance and rudeness of these Chinese, he still didn't dare to make a mistake after looking at the jǐng soldiers around him with pistols at their waists!

"General, as the East Indies colony of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Java Island is recognized by all countries in the world, and if you send troops to invade the land of the Netherlands for no reason, aren't you afraid of being attacked by European countries?" asked Luo Dianchen in a low voice. He had no idea where these honest Chinese had the courage to rise up against Dutch rule and repeatedly invade the Dutch East Indies colony! This seemed to him to be unthinkable!

After listening to Wang Ting's translation, Wang Xiangzong couldn't help frowning, and said expressionlessly: "These words don't mean anything to us, if you are here today to discuss the unconditional surrender of all your Dutch Governor's Palace, then we can continue to talk, if not, I'm sorry, you better go back! I'm so busy that I don't have time to listen to your nonsense here!"

Luo Dianchen looked at the two Chinese officers in front of him dumbfounded, he had been in politics for many years, and he had never been ridiculed like this, and the other party was still a Chinese he looked down on before!

"General, you have to pay for what you say, our 40,000 troops from Europe are about to arrive! I believe that when the time comes, you will understand that the majesty of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is inviolable!" Luo Dianchen said angrily.

"Okay, I'll wait, but I don't know if you can hold out until the reinforcements arrive?" Wang Xiangzong said with a sneer!
