Age of Rebirth

The steps of Chairman Jiang’s official residence in Huangshan, Chongqing are not too high, let alone too many. It’s only [-] or [-] steps, but it also made Dai Li feel confused, sore from bumps all over his body, and embarrassed himself. Get up, this is not the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, there are a large group of subordinates around, they will definitely rush over to help, it is more uncomfortable than falling, the guards of the chairman's mansion, there is no need to curry favor with Dai Li.

The horse stumbled, and Dai Li yelled that it was unlucky. However, such a fall opened his brain, and he hurried back to the headquarters of the bureau. As soon as he entered the door, he called the director of the special operations department and ordered: "Start immediately!" We are on the inside line of the German embassy in China to find out what the Japanese want to negotiate, and what price we can see? I want to see this information when I go to work tomorrow morning!"

The chief of the special operations department took care of everything, "Please rest assured, the bureau, we have more than one insider in the German embassy in China. The confidential room of the embassy is similar to our back garden. It won't be used until tomorrow morning." After five hours, the photocopy of the original will be placed on your desk!"

Dai Li believed his subordinates, waved his hand, and let him go out. Then, he found a stack of letter paper and began to write a telegram. The telegram was sent to Tang Qiuli. After the fall, Dai Li suddenly came up with a bold idea. Since the agents of the Military Command Bureau could not get close to Vice Chairman Tang, no matter how hard he thought about it, it would be a waste of time. The ruthless character of the earthquake.

Since this way does not work, then find another way, simply, go straight, and send a telegram to Vice Chairman Tang, asking him about his plans and thoughts on the Japanese request for negotiations.Anyway, what the old man wants to know is this, the German ambassador to China Tautman.Send a telegram through the channels of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.It's no secret then, besides.When dealing with the Central Bureau of Statistics, Vice Chairman Tang did not fail to give tips face to face.

How to put it, I also have a close relationship with Vice Chairman Tang, usually.They also get along relatively well, and they have personal relationships. His first wife, Mei Ting, was offered by herself. Considering many factors, it is absolutely feasible to go through formal channels, as long as you clarify your intentions.Not only was there no danger, but it also ended up being aboveboard!

Jinzhou, the independent division regained the Northeast Campaign Headquarters, in the morning.After Tang Qiuli came to the headquarters, the teacher pointed out that Colonel Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, had been waiting for him at the door. As soon as he saw him coming, he stepped forward and reported: "Master, I have received a letter from the German embassy. The reply from Ambassador Hua Taudman, the content of the telegram, is about the conditions that the Japanese want to negotiate with us this time!"

"Oh! The speed is very fast. It seems that the Japanese are really in a hurry!" Tang Qiuli was slightly surprised, and took the telegram from Chen Feng, "Dear Vice Chairman Tang, after receiving your telegram, I immediately contacted the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and got a call back from them."

"The content of the negotiation between the Japanese and your Excellency is as follows. In the Far East battlefield, the Korean Peninsula battlefield, and the Manchurian battlefield, the two sides will immediately implement a ceasefire on the spot. The Japanese are willing to withdraw all the Kwantung Army from Manchuria, admit that they have given up their territorial and sovereignty claims to Manchuria, and recognize Manchuria. The territory belonging to the Republic of China, on this condition, requires the withdrawal of the independent division troops from the Korean peninsula and the Far East, and in the name of the Chinese government, sign relevant treaties.”

"The chief representative of the Japanese side in this negotiation is General Nanjiro, the new commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army. If you agree to negotiate with the Japanese, I will immediately convey your opinion to the Japanese and discuss the place and time of the negotiation! In addition, Conveying the attitude of the Japanese, giving up Manchuria, is the final bottom line!"

Tang Qiuli didn't care about the other contents of Taudman's telegram. Anyway, he had no intention of negotiating. Besides, the Japanese had a good plan and tried to exchange the Northeast for the Korean Peninsula and the Far East. Don't you know that now The Japanese do not have the capital to negotiate at all. They not only want the Northeast, but also the Korean Peninsula and the Far East, including the lives of millions of Japanese soldiers in the above-mentioned areas!

The Japanese went to the doctor in a hurry, treating everyone else as fools. What Tang Qiuli cared about was the replacement of the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. He was no stranger to Nanjiro, an old devil. The Japanese wanted to negotiate. It is reasonable to replace it with a politician-type commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army in order to obtain the greatest benefits during the negotiations. The key point is, where is Yoshijiro Umezu?

The intelligence system did not get any news that Umezu Yoshijiro resigned as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, and Nanjiro came very suddenly. Tang Qiuli could not but suspect that the Japanese were playing some tricks. On the one hand, they sent Nanjiro to negotiate with him , to cast smoke bombs, to attract his attention to the negotiations, and on the other hand, let Umezu Yoshijiro, who is quite capable of military command, secretly play tricks and plan big moves to get rid of the current predicament in the Northeast?

The former commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, was unaccounted for, which made Tang Qiuli vigilant. The combination of several things seemed weird. The importance of the Northeast to the Japanese is self-evident, far exceeding that of the Korean Peninsula and the Far East. Why would the Japanese willingly give up the region? Is it just because the main force of the Kwantung Army is surrounded by their own troops?

In the memory brought by the previous life, the Japanese did not intend to abandon the Northeast. Even in the Pacific battlefield, when the Japanese army was retreating steadily and the mainland was exposed to the firepower of the US military, Emperor Hirohito of Japan issued, "One hundred million people are broken, Resist to the end!" In the end, the Japanese royal family led the remaining citizens to relocate to Manchuria to gain a foothold in order to make a comeback. This shows the importance of the Northeast to the Japanese!

Furthermore, with the strength of the Kwantung Army in the Northeast, even though it is surrounded, it is still capable of fighting, although in the end it cannot escape the fate of complete annihilation, but it is not the character of the Japanese to abandon the Northeast without fighting!

The negotiation was a conspiracy by the Japanese. Tang Qiuli was almost sure of his own judgment, but what he didn't know was that he had made a wrong judgment this time. The news that the former commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Yoshijiro, had committed suicide was extremely strictly blocked. It was General Meijin's unknown whereabouts that guided his thinking.

Since the Japanese are playing tricks, let's play with them. Tang Qiuli has already made a decision, and said to Chen Feng: "Director Chen, send a telegram to Taudman. At present, our independent division is in the Northeast battlefield. The Korean Peninsula battlefield, and even the Far East battlefield have absolute advantages, so how can we easily make peace in such a battlefield situation?"

"However, there is room for negotiation regarding the negotiation. It's just that the bargaining chip the Japanese offered is too low to make me give up the military victory I obtained. If the Japanese negotiate sincerely, don't be petty and dismiss me as a beggar. Take out enough chips to impress me!"

"Right now, the Japanese don't have the money to talk about the bottom line, and they don't have the qualifications to raise any bullshit bottom line. Please tell the Japanese that it doesn't matter to me whether to negotiate or not, and I'm not interested!"

"In addition, I also emphasize that I will not negotiate face-to-face with any Japanese, including Emperor Hirohito, because the Japanese are not worthy. Therefore, regarding the specific matters of the negotiation, I will ask Ambassador Taudman to act as an intermediary. , on behalf of the telegrams between the two parties!"

Tang Qiuli hated the Japanese intentionally. In addition, since you Germans are involved, don't try to get away easily. You want to play with everyone. With the German's shrewdness, if you don't get any benefits, you will do it for yourself. The Japanese come forward to be peacemakers?

Tang Qiuli doubted this very much, but it was nothing. Anyway, the preparations for the battle on his side would take a few days before they were ready. How to fight and when to arrive. Germans and Japanese.

After Chen Feng recorded the teacher's telegram, he grinned slightly, "Master, is this your negotiating attitude? I'm afraid the Japanese will vomit blood after reading it! Since you don't want to talk about it, you can simply refuse and tell the Japanese, Die with this heart!"

Tang Qiuli put his hands behind his back and said leisurely: "Excuse the sky and pay back the money on the spot, that's what negotiation is all about. Besides, I didn't plan to negotiate with the Japanese. This telegram is just to test the bottom line of the Japanese. Also to verify one of my judgments!"

"In addition, order Yu Deshui's intelligence office to find out the whereabouts of Umezu Yoshijiro, the former commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army at all costs. This is an urgent task, and Yu Deshui will know the importance!"

As soon as Chen Feng left, Ge Zhenzhuang, the chief of the division's staff, came with a telegram in his hand, "Director Ge, what kind of telegram did you get?" Tang Qiuli, who was clearly in a good mood, asked jokingly.

Ge Zhenzhuang replied succinctly: "Master, it is Dai Li, deputy director of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics of the Military Commission of the Chongqing Nationalist Government. The private telegram sent to you should be received by the confidential room. I don't know why, but it was sent to the staff office!"

"Dai Li!" Tang Qiuli was thoughtful. It seems that the news that the Japanese asked for negotiations through the German ambassador to China, Tautman, alarmed Generalissimo Jiang, who was enjoying the blessings in Chongqing in the southwest of China. I am afraid that this Generalissimo , Nervous, I'm afraid I'll start anew with the telegram!

After receiving the telegram, Dai Li's wording in the telegram was extremely humble and polite. At the beginning, it was a set of friendship, recalling many past events between the two of them, and said that he had benefited a lot from the face-to-face teaching of Vice Chairman Tang. The chief's subordinates were proud, and then, they greeted Mei Ting and the other two wives for their health and other conditions.

In short, Tang Qiuli was almost brought up on a par with Chairman Jiang, and it seemed that he had a personal friendship with Tang Qiuli. It was a long way, Tang Qiuli couldn't help laughing, knowing that these were just Dai Li's appetizers Son, the big meal is behind.

Sure enough, at the end of the telegram, Dai Li wrote: "I was shocked to hear that the Japanese were about to suffer defeat in the Northeast, and I had no choice but to beg for peace. Negotiations, what is the countermeasure?"
