Chapter 1059 The Blue-Eyed Man Who Changed Fate!

In the vast mountains of southeast Shanxi.

A team of convoys and horses flying the Japanese sun flag and the German flag are slowly moving forward at a speed of 20 yards.

But in front of the convoy, there was a Chinese cavalry platoon running on horseback.

Above the valleys that pass through, there are rows of Chinese soldiers hiding in the fortifications on the top of the mountain staring angrily.

This phenomenon of the deadly enemies of the two sides miraculously not firing at such a close distance has basically disappeared since the start of the war.

But this is a fact. On the North China battlefield, the Chinese Second Theater Command and the Japanese North China Front Army Command reached an agreement on a temporary ceasefire six days ago.

The negotiating delegation sent by the Japanese side also arrived in Yuancheng, the capital of Jin Province, a few days ago, until the Chinese side agreed that they could leave.

Although they knew that the Chinese were playing tricks and deliberately delayed the negotiation for a few more days, the Japanese side was helpless. After all, they were begging the Chinese for an exchange in this negotiation, and the Chinese took most of the initiative.

As early as a few hours ago, the convoy had left the area controlled by the Japanese army and completely entered the Chinese defense area. After half a day, it would arrive at Linfen, an important city controlled by the Chinese side in the southeast corner of Jin Province.

Jindong in June is already considered hot.

What is hotter than the weather is the heart of a certain Japanese lieutenant general.

Even because of the driving of the car, the relatively cool mountain wind blowing on the body can bring a little coolness, and the hot sweat of Saburo Okabe in the truck compartment continued to roll down his forehead.

倒不是因为惧怕来死敌的地盘犯险，整个车队是由10辆卡车搭载着100名精锐特工队以及一个骑兵中队组成的，装备着4挺重机枪和12挺轻机枪的200名帝国精锐足以应付任何突发情况。

Accompanying the convoy was a director of the largest German firm in China and 15 soldiers of the Roman Empire with live ammunition, which was also one of the guarantees for his safety given by the Japanese North China Front Army.

Before leaving, that person contacted the Germanic Empire's consulate in Jiangxia and sent a note to the Chinese side. The Chinese Second Theater Command made it clear that they would guarantee the safety of their group.

Of course, Japan's biggest hole card is not these accompanying Westerners, but the tens of millions of Chinese people in the occupied areas.

Needless to say, if the Chinese dare to attack their negotiating team, they should know the consequences of angering the empire, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese will be buried with them.

It is true that the reality is not friendly to the Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army who has just been promoted to Lieutenant General of the Japanese Army.

He didn't like the mountains here at all, and he didn't like the reason why he was promoted quickly. It turned out to be because he had to negotiate with the Chinese. The final promotion ceremony was urgently advanced.

This is not the most exaggerated, the most exaggerated is the expressionless words of General Shan Shanyuan after the brief promotion ceremony: "Mr. Okabe, this negotiation with the Chinese for the exchange of prisoners of war is of great importance, especially for Jin The remains of many imperial warriors who died for the empire in the southeast mountainous area in World War I have touched the hearts of the people in the country. I hope that you, Mr. Okabe, can bring the souls of these warriors back to their homeland. If you successfully complete this mission, Mr. Okabe, I will personally send Jun went to the Kwantung Army to take office! Please!"

Every time I think of these words, Saburo Okabe really wants to punch that old guy on the nose, why should you bet on my future with the mess you made yourself?
Don't look at what Shan Shanyuan said very loudly. What welcomes the souls of many imperial warriors to return to their homeland is actually just to save a person. The subtext in it is even understood by a fool. If the negotiation task is successfully completed and the person is rescued, everything is easy to say , he can give Saburo Okabe the greatest honor, and be sent off by a commander of the front army for transfer, but what if it can't be completed?

Even Saburo Okabe, who has enough cards in his hand, is confident enough that the Chinese cannot refuse the negotiation terms he offered.

Saburo Okabe pulled the tight military discipline button a little annoyed. I am afraid that he would be a shirtless man if he could continue to stay in the position of chief of staff of the North China Front Army, let alone being transferred to the Kwantung Army as the division commander. Open minded.

"Mr. Qingshui, what do you think is good or bad for this trip to Linfen?" Saburo Okabe, holding on to the railing of the carriage and looking at the distant mountains through the window opened by the tarpaulin, asked softly.

In the back compartment of the truck, in addition to the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, there was also a Japanese major who stood upright and looked a little rigid not far from him.

Obviously, this major officer is someone whom Saburo Okabe trusts very much, and his ability to maintain a straight standing posture in the rather bumpy truck compartment also shows that he has undergone extremely strict training.

Hearing Naozaburo Okabe's question, the somewhat stiff-faced Japanese Major became respectful, but he replied with great confidence: "But please rest assured, Chief of Staff, since the Chinese agree with our army's proposal to exchange prisoners of war, naturally they will not accept it." They will easily backtrack. Even if they dare to make changes, Qingshui Xiucheng will definitely keep you safe."

Saburo Okabe glanced back at the Army Major, who was originally a senior intelligence officer of the Intelligence Department of the North China Front Army and is now the first deputy of Fujiwara Seno of the Front Army Special Service Team, and nodded in relief.

What he cares about is not the guarantee of this authentic master who has been engaged in intelligence for many years and is also a direct descendant of the Iga school of ninjutsu, but that he, the chief of staff of the front army whose future is not yet clear, is not just a decoration in the North China front army.

Even if it's just out of superficial respect!
A lieutenant general in the army was delighted by the statement of a major, even though he occupied an important position.

It can be seen from this that the Shinco Japanese Army Lieutenant General who is about to leave the North China Front Army is in a difficult situation in the North China Front Army in Japan.

In fact, the commander above did not like it, and the lieutenant generals and division heads below him did not like him.

"Very good, I don't know how the deployment of Takaji Dazuo is going." Saburo Okabe asked again.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, please rest assured that the instigation of the Chinese prisoners of war has started a few months ago in the intelligence department, and now there are at least dozens of backbone forces.

A few days ago, the intelligence department specially arranged for our personnel to enter the prisoner-of-war camp with another group of prisoners of war. The numbers in the prisoner-of-war camp itself are mixed, but the numbers of our personnel are complete. All of them have been engaged in intelligence work in northern China for more than 7 years. "Qingshui Xiucheng nodded.

"Very good! The Chinese thought they won a big victory in the southeast of Shanxi, but they didn't know that this was just a small setback on the way forward for the empire. The real winner is the one who has the last laugh." Saburo Okabe was somewhat rigid. A smile appeared on his face.

This can also be regarded as good news that has a certain soothing effect on Saburo Okabe's rather irritable mood.

As long as this negotiation is successful, maybe by taking advantage of the opportunity of exchanging prisoners of war, the front army can place more dark chess in its army, thus playing the role of defeating the Chinese defense line in the southeast of Shanxi, and he, the leading front army, must be indispensable Credit to the Chief of Staff.

The head of the lieutenant general's division is not the end of his army, maybe it's just the starting point. One day, he might also be able to stand in front of that old man in rags, and say something with a smile that made him feel like he swallowed a fly. Also pretend to be grateful to Zaide.

"Hey! According to the Chinese, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Even if the 2nd Mixed Brigade was defeated, it was because the [-]nd Mixed Brigade underestimated the enemy. The Chinese can only take advantage of the terrain to hold on, and victory is a matter of time. The empire, the martial arts will prosper!" Shimizu Xiucheng catered to Saburo Okabe.

"Haha, that's true!" Saburo Okabe felt much more relieved when he heard this.

Although it was the initiative of the front army to propose the exchange of prisoners of war this time, the overall situation on the battlefield is still that the front army occupies the complete initiative. out conditions.

As for the large number of Chinese prisoners of war who still need to consume food meaninglessly, so what if they are returned to the Chinese?If the front army can defeat them once, they can defeat them a second time, or even more times, but they are just a bunch of mobs.

Don't say it, Okabe Saburo's thoughts fit well with Tang Tuanzuo, and Tang Dao thinks the same way.

Not to mention that Fujiwara Senxie is almost a useless person now, even when he was in his prime, Tang Dao could still beat him to the ground.

Oh no, Sensao Fujiwara doesn’t have many teeth to lose now. In this era when stomatology is still underdeveloped, implanting teeth is impossible. From now on, Sensao Fujiwara will only be able to sag his mouth, as if he can’t even speak. old lady.

Saburo Okabe did not know that just tens of meters behind his vehicle, two Westerners sitting in a jeep were also chatting about their views on the negotiation between China and Japan.

"Mr. Krupp, what do you think of this Sino-Japanese negotiation?"

The brigadier general in the uniform of the Roman Empire asked respectfully the middle-aged man sitting beside him in a plaid suit, holding a pipe and having a pair of blue eyes.

Although the Germanic Empire has become stronger and stronger, but because of the defeat in the last war, the concession in Jincheng was accepted by the Western world. As the Germanic Empire and the Roman Empire got closer, many expatriates and businesses in the Germanic Empire opened in In the concession of the Roman Empire, this brigadier general of the Roman Empire is the current commander of the concession of the Roman Empire. He can be said to be a big man who can be counted on his fingers in the Western Concession.

But it is extremely rare for such a senior officer at the brigadier level, and also a senior officer of the German allied country, to be so polite to a businessman who is doing business in his own jurisdiction.

However, anyone who knows Germanic history will not be too surprised when they hear the surname 'Krupp'.

Krupp is definitely a surname that the Germanic Empire caused turmoil throughout the world, and billions of people cried in the raging war.

The Krupp company has been the largest arms manufacturing company in the Germanic Empire since the last century. The Krupp cannon it developed enabled Bismarck to defeat Austria and France in the 19th century. The 44-ton Krupp cannon with a firing range of 19760 meters fully interprets "everything within the shooting range is the truth".

Cannons changed the pattern of warfare in the 19th century, and it was at that time that the title of the God of War was crowned on cannons.

Chinese soldiers have also suffered enough from cannons and generally suffer from "phobia of insufficient firepower", so that in the future, they will equip themselves to become the army with the largest number of calibers in the world. Even in the era of rampant missiles, Still stubbornly developing artillery, the rocket launcher with a range of 400 kilometers makes all neighboring countries feel cold just listening to the data.

Krupp is an arms company that made a fortune in making all kinds of artillery.

And the Mr. Rostav Krupp next to the brigadier general of the Roman Empire is an important member of the Krupp family. Now the head of the Krupp family is Arold Krupp's uncle, the previous Krupp The younger brother of the head of the family.

As for the reason why this big brother came to the war-torn China, it is difficult for the brigadier general to know the real reason, but it is also the result of the power struggle in the big family.

The young head of Krupp swore allegiance to the mustache Fuehrer, and had a drink with the mustache several times. Even his office has a portrait of the head of state and the writing "Stay with the Führer until victory." Undoubtedly, this Bit is the loser in the family power struggle.

But the loser is only relative. The arms manufacturing and sales in the hands of this Mr. Rostav Krupp accounted for one-fifth of the entire Krupp family.

Don't underestimate the one-fifth in his hand. If you know that the Krupp company at this time has already occupied 60.00% of the arms supply of the entire Germanic Empire, and employs nearly 10 employees, you will know how it is. A behemoth.

The reason Rostav Krupp came to China was just to declare that he loved the ancient oriental civilization since he was a child, and the center of oriental civilization - China, was his dream, so he only arrived in China a few months ago.

Of course, in fact, this man is really a China hand. Not only his fluent Chinese made Brigadier General Sebastian, who had been in China for several years, feel ashamed, but his familiarity with major cities in China also surpassed many Westerners in the concession. people.

This time, if it wasn't for the Japanese who were worried about being too irritating and had already paid a huge price, Mr. Krupp might have gone to the negotiating table set up by the Chinese wearing a traditional Chinese robe.

Hearing the brigadier general of the allied country ask about the views on the negotiations that have not yet been carried out, Rostav smiled meaningfully: "Before answering your question, General Tian, ​​you may first talk about the Sino-Japanese negotiations." view of the battle."

"Although Japan's national strength cannot be compared with that of your country, its domestic industrial manufacturing capacity and soldier training level are far higher than China's. There is almost no suspense about the outcome of this war. Now the two countries are already one-sided. This has already shown this point .” After a moment of contemplation, the brigadier general of the Roman Empire still gave his point of view honestly.

"But General Tian, ​​you still don't give an absolute view that China will be defeated like those people in our two countries, don't you?" Rostav smiled.

"Yes! Although China's equipment is backward and the training of soldiers is insufficient, but I have never been to China, and I have never seen those battlefields with my own eyes. I can't know what kind of spirit those armies, which are almost composed of peasants, are fighting against their powerful enemies. Yes." The Brigadier General of the Roman Empire turned serious.

"I even often wonder whether your country can conquer this ancient country in half a year, even if your country's army composed of armored torrents comes across the ocean."

"Oh? So with Brigadier General Tian's military talent, what's the result of the deduction?" Rostav's eyes flashed curiosity.

"No, China is really too big, more than 20 times the size of your country, almost as big as Europe." The Brigadier General of the Roman Empire replied with a wry smile. "Their population is also large enough. As long as they don't give up resistance, I can affirm that the Japanese will conquer the entire territory of China in three months or even longer than they claimed."

"Haha, that's it. Those short-sighted guys in China, if they don't come to see it for themselves, they will lightly say that China will lose based on the comparison of the national strengths of China and Japan, and abandon such a huge market in China and turn to support Japan. This is only a little learning. A martial artist with the fur of the Eastern civilization is really ridiculous." Rostav laughed loudly, unscrupulously criticizing some high-level figures of the Germanic Empire who made such a decision.

Rostav dared, it was the largest arms group of the Germanic Empire standing behind him, the Brigadier General of the Roman Empire did not dare to agree, he could only pretend not to hear.

"This ancient country missed the precious opportunity of the industrial revolution. It is still in the agricultural era, and many forces in the country are intertwined and cannot form a joint force. However, they have an extremely long history and brilliant civilization. If they can survive this A catastrophe, perhaps, they will surprise us.

There is a saying in ancient China: the phoenix in the fire!Yes, that's right, China at this time is like the phoenix on fire, but they don't know whether they will be completely reduced to ashes in this war or will be reborn. Rostav commented, turning his gaze to a machine gun bunker visible to the naked eye on the top of the hill.

Brigadier General Germanic didn't follow up on the previous question sensibly, his attitude actually explained everything.

However, he still has great reservations about the so-called "phoenix reborn from the ashes" of the big arms dealer.

In this war, Japan's victory rate accounted for more than 90.00%. This is the result of his deduction for half a year.

The wheels of history keep rolling forward like this huge convoy.

The Germanic man who deeply worships the ancient oriental civilization does not know that he will meet a man who is enough to change his destiny.

And Tang Dao, who was still waiting for the arrival of the Japanese in Linfen City, didn't know that he would bump into the "babies" he had been thinking about so much ahead of time in this corner of the mountain.

The behind-the-scenes boss of the foreign company where the batch of weapons and equipment ordered by the young marshal arrived in Linfen!
