Chapter 62 Kneel down and apologize
The strangest dinner in the world was over. Zuo Zhong led Imma to see off the guests at the entrance of the hotel. The reporters were very satisfied with the reception and harvest tonight.

"Mr. Robber, thank you for your hospitality. I think the French people will learn about the Japanese brutality from Le Monde tomorrow. I hope to have the opportunity to communicate with you again."

"Yes, the "Echo" will arrange the best page possible to introduce the details of this incident."

"The American people will also learn about this disaster from the Times. I hope you can continue to communicate with us, not only for your ideals, but also for those innocent hostages."

"Mr. Robber, when will you release the hostages? After all, we have no way to make everyone despise the behavior of the Japanese. Are you going to kidnap them for the rest of your life?"

There are also smart reporters who feel that things are not so simple. After all, the robbers have not made any substantive demands so far, but only vague demands.

Zuo Zhong raised a finger: "As long as the representatives of the Japanese kneel in front of the Six Nations Hotel, publicly apologize for their atrocities, and at the same time promise not to slaughter civilians and prisoners, the war should be handed over to the soldiers, right? .”

The reporters were silent. They thought it was impossible for the Japanese to agree to this condition. After all, Zuo Zhong only took some hostages, not their emperor.

Once the Japanese apologize publicly, it is an admission of the illegality of what they have done. You must know that the Japanese have always claimed that they are here to help the Chinese.

"Haha, friends, don't think too much, leave it to the Japanese to decide, but please also tell everyone that if my request is not met, I will start executing the hostages in two days, just from Japanese intelligence personnel Start with two traitors."

The reporters looked at the gentle masked man in front of him, and the execution of the hostages seemed so easy in his mouth, as if he invited them to a dinner party today.

After getting so much explosive news, the reporters said goodbye one after another. They needed to seize the time to compete for the headlines. Fortunately, China has already opened the fax machine business at this time, and these photos will definitely cause a sensation.

The reporters dispersed, and Major Vicente also bid farewell to Zuo Zhong: "Goodbye, Mr. Masked Man, I want to ask you a question. What do you have to do with the Irish Republican Army?"

Zuo Chong was stunned for a moment, but fortunately the mask blocked his expression, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Where there is oppression, there will be resistance, isn't it?"

Zuo Zhong really didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise. He named it nonsense at the time. He didn't expect the British to associate them with the Irish Republican Army. It's so fucking interesting.

Vicente's heart tightened. Could it be that someone is linking up these organizations?There must be a big conspiracy here, and I must go back and report to Mr. Consul immediately.

He held out his hand to say goodbye: "Mr. Masked Man, although I don't know who you are, I believe you are a well-educated gentleman. I hope you don't let hatred overcome your reason."

Zuo Zhong shook hands with him: "Mr. Major, if it was a time of peace, I would prefer to sit at a desk and study knowledge, but now there is still a piece of pure land in Northeast China and North China, so what do we have left besides hatred?"

Vicente stopped persuading him. He knew that he couldn't empathize with him. He had done his best. This was a conflict between the Chinese and the Japanese, so what did it have to do with him.

But the desk and learning mentioned by the masked man just now, is he a scholar?Or he had studied abroad, otherwise he would not have such a good understanding of the situation in Europe and the world.

Seeing Vicente leaving thoughtfully, Zuo Chong chuckled, shit scholars and republican army, people these days are simple, just talk about it and people will believe it.

"Go back and check on those cute little ones, don't be manipulated by the guests, tomorrow we will really be famous all over the world." Zuo Zhong laughed triumphantly.

When Vicente returned to the consulate, Brondo was waiting for him.

"Major, what the hell are those damn robbers up to, and what connection do they have with those untouchables in Ireland?"

"Mr. Consul, the other party did not deny the relationship with the IRA. It seems that someone is manipulating all this."

Bai Longdu sat up from the sofa all of a sudden: "It's true! I knew it, I knew it, it must be the red giant bear behind the scenes, only they can do this kind of thing! Tell me carefully."

The red giant bear didn't know that someone had thrown the black pot on them. Although there were shadows of them in Ireland, these masked people really had nothing to do with them.

Vicente recounted everything that happened tonight, such as the discussion between Germany and Mustache, the current situation of the hostages, and Zuo Zhong's final request.

"What, they asked the Japanese to kneel down and apologize. It's wishful thinking. What you can't get on the battlefield, you can never get on the negotiating table." Bai Longdu scoffed at Zuo Zhong's words.

He is very clear about the virtues of those Japanese dwarves. In a Chinese language, they would not recognize them even if they were beaten to death. What's more, this kind of statement is very sensitive and involves the legitimacy of the North China War and the Puppet Manchukuo.

"Mr. Consul, the masked man said that the execution of the hostages will begin in two days, starting with the Japanese intelligence agents and traitors. They are not joking. The Liuguo Hotel is full of dangerous goods." Wei Sen reminded him tactfully.

"What! Shameless bastard, why did he blow up my Liuguo Hotel! I'm going to hang him!" Mr. Blondo became furious like a porcupine that had been stabbed in the butt.

It has nothing to do with me for you to kill the hostages, and it has nothing to do with me for you to let the Japanese admit their mistakes, but if you want to blow up my restaurant, then you and I are sworn enemies.

Bai Longdu grabbed a pistol: "Send troops immediately! Let the military police from all consulates assemble and arrest these damned guys immediately. I will command them myself."

Vicente quickly dispelled the consul's whims: "No, they have placed dangerous items in all the entrances and exits and load-bearing wall pillars, which cannot be removed in a short time. Please calm down, Mr. Consul."

Vicente knew that if there was a large-scale attack, the masked man would blow up the Liuguo Hotel without hesitation. Although he was gentle and gentle, he was actually a lunatic.

Bai Longdu sat down on the sofa: "Then the property I have embezzled, cheated, and robbed so hard, will it be wiped out like this?"

Vicente put forward his own thoughts at the right time: "Mr. Consul, the face of the Japanese has nothing to do with the British Empire, but it has something to do with your dignity. I think some pressure can be exerted moderately."

Major Vicente was a standard soldier. He also felt that war should be a matter between soldiers and should not affect civilians, especially women and children.

Major Vicente added: "Moreover, the Japanese sent spies to survey and map Southeast Asia. Downing Street is also very angry about this matter. If the consul can teach the Japanese a lesson in this matter, I believe the country will be happy to see it."

After thinking about it, Bai Longdu stood up: "Major, your opinion is very correct. We should consider it from a humanitarian point of view and properly resolve this matter. I will negotiate with other consulates to force the Japanese to accept the terms of the masked man."

"Yes, Mr. Consul. By the way, the masked man's dinner is very sumptuous, and the eight-year Golden Bell whiskey and Johnnie Walker are very rare."

"God, I'm going to kill that bastard."

A reporter also came to the Japanese Consulate General. He sold the information inside the hotel to Nakaji Toyama. Of course, this does not prevent him from passing the information back to the agency. This is just a business.

Perhaps the masked man also wanted the Japanese to know. After all, the outcome of this matter needs to be decided by the Japanese. The reporter looked at the US dollars in his hand and smiled.

After reading the information in his hand, Nakaji Toyama slammed it on the table: "The empire will never yield to a robber, and the citizens of the Empire of Japan will be willing to sacrifice."

If the hostage is dead, he will die. It is absolutely impossible for the empire to kneel down and apologize. Wouldn't it be beautiful to win sympathy from the international community at that time.

Hase Ryosuke, as a member of the special high school, should give his life for the honor of the empire. In fact, he has not committed suicide until now, which is against the spirit of the samurai.

"Send the information back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." After thinking for a while, Toyama Nakaji told the staff of the consulate that this was no longer something he could decide.

And Chen Gongshu also got the situation of the dinner party, all kinds of high-end drinks, high-profile talk about the international situation, many dangerous goods and a jaw-dropping condition.

"Let the Japanese kneel down and apologize? How is this possible? The matter can no longer be concealed, and must be reported to the chief." Chen Gongshu felt that he was already very interesting after concealing Zuo Zhong for a day.

When this telegram was delivered to Dai Chunfeng of the Jinling Secret Service, the old Dai even thought that Chen Gongshu was joking, didn't he just ask Zuo Zhong to assassinate Zhang Jingyao, and what did he have to do with the Liuguo Hotel.

Of course he knew about the Liuguo Hotel, but it was the embassy area, and the people who did it were from the Northeast under the puppet Manchukuo, so he just took it as a joke, and even gloated a little.

Now I will see the report from the BJ station. Dai Chunfeng's seal has been blackened. What's going on? My most valued student hijacked the Liuguo Hotel with a group of secret agents.

Don't dare to make up the story like this, Zuo Zhong's purpose of doing this is to kill Zhang Jingyao?In such a big battle, let alone killing Zhang Jingyao, a down-and-out warlord, it would be enough to kill the chairman of the committee.

After thinking about it, Dai Chunfeng felt that there was something wrong here. Zuo Zhong knew about it. He was a prudent and meticulous person. It was impossible for him to do such a thing. Could it be Zheng Tingbing's trick?
Dai Chunfeng took a sip of water and decided to press the matter down first. He first contacted the radio station carried by Zuo Zhong and the others, and then decided to report to the chairman after confirming it.

"Come here, call Section Chief Zuo and the others to inquire about the progress of the operation."

In the Liuguo Hotel, Gui Youguang and others also asked Zuo Zhong. They just found out that Zuo Zhong asked the Japanese to kneel down and apologize, and promised not to massacre civilians again.

"Brother, will the Japanese be obedient?"

"Of course we can't rely on us, but we have allies, and they will make the Japanese bow their heads."

At this time, He Yijun came over: "Report, my hometown has sent a telegram, asking how far the operation has progressed."

Zuo Zhong smiled slightly: "Call back, everything is going well, wait for the good news."
