Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli's caution is absolutely justified. Japan also has intelligence personnel in Italy. Mussolini held meetings for several days to discuss negotiations with Tang Qiuli. The information was quickly passed back to the mainland, and the information included the list of members of the Italian negotiating delegation, as well as the departure time and arrival location.

The 10,000+ Italian troops and more than 8 Japanese troops in the North American continent were wiped out by the East Pointing Force of the Independent Division in a period of more than three months. The shock to Emperor Hirohito and the base camp was huge, the biggest The loss of their support and support is no less than a catastrophe for Japan. The Japanese have to consider the impact of the North American war on Italian Prime Minister Mussolini.

Especially after getting the information that the Italians were going to negotiate with Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, Emperor Hirohito and the senior management of the base camp panicked to the extreme. They are not stupid, knowing what it means?

Once the negotiations between the Italians and the devil of China, Tang Qiuli, are successful, not to mention what agreement the Chinese and the Italians will reach, it will only affect Italian Prime Minister Mussolini's attitude towards the Great Japanese Empire in the future. success.

There are 10,000+ prisoners of war in Italy in the hands of the Chinese. Tang Qiuli can use this to threaten Mussolini and not to intervene in the war between the two countries. The Great Japanese Empire will lose one of the most important weapons and strategic materials. As an overseas source, the Germans already have a clear attitude that Japan cannot receive the slightest assistance, and Italy has become Japan's only one.

Once this one and only stopped cooperating with the Great Japanese Empire, Emperor Hirohito was too aware of the importance of this fatal factor, relying on the empire's own war resources.Under the circumstances of being heavily surrounded, he couldn't hold out for a year.The country will be destroyed because of the exhaustion of war resources, even if all Japanese citizens have the determination to die.Also to no avail.

Therefore, regarding the matter of the Italian negotiating delegation, Emperor Hirohito personally stepped forward and strictly ordered the intelligence department of the base camp to destroy rather than stop this negotiation at any cost. The benefits of doing it are obvious.Even if Mussolini no longer dared to send troops to reinforce Japan with great fanfare, he would not cut off trade with Japan, and would hate the Chinese from his heart.

After receiving the order from His Majesty the Emperor, the leaders of the Military Intelligence Headquarters of the Japanese headquarters gathered together for a few days and decided to activate the trump card that they were usually reluctant to use, and rushed to Busan to kill the Italian negotiating delegation. After they set off from Rome.Dozens of Japanese ace agents also infiltrated into Busan through various channels, looking for an opportunity to destroy the Italian negotiating delegation.

Three days, three full days.The Italian negotiating delegation headed by Foreign Minister Ciano was left hanging in a small hotel in Busan for three days.Not to mention meeting Tang Qiuli, not even a high-ranking officer from the Independent Division showed up.The major general who greeted him at the airport that day did not show up again.The Italians saw that the biggest official of the Independent Division was a major, and this treatment was similar to going to prison.

Uneasy and uncomfortable with the Italian, he proposed to go to the streets of Busan to relax and walk around. This young squadron major, his face was as tight as iron, without any emotion He told the Italians, "This is already a war zone, for your safety, you'd better stay in the hotel!"

Just these few words, and then, no matter what diplomatic etiquette, international conventions, protests and other means the Italians threatened, the major didn’t say a word, as if he didn’t hear it, but the major’s eyes were murderous, looking at They quarreled for a long time with no results, and a dozen Italians didn't have the courage to break through, so they had to give up in dejection and continue to spend their days in the small hotel that was similar to a prison cell.

The Italians should be grateful to the Chinese. What they don’t know is that dozens of Japanese ace agents have regarded them as a must-kill target. During the process of infiltrating Busan, dozens of Japanese ace agents fell under Shen Jun’s investigation. There are more than [-] people in Chu's hands, and the remaining dozen people have successfully escaped the arrest and have sneaked into Busan, looking for traces of the Italians all over the city.

For this matter, Major General Shen Jun, the Director of the Investigation Department of the Independent Division Command, made a special trip to Busan to personally direct the agents of the Korean Peninsula Branch of the Investigation Division to search for the remaining agents. After arranging the work, he drove to the Division Command The frontline headquarters met with the division commander Tang Qiuli.

"Master, according to the information we have received, about sixteen Japanese ace agents have sneaked into Busan. The first goal is to target the Italians, and the second is to assassinate you. Therefore, during this period of time, please minimize the time to go out. Frequency, if you have to go out, the agents of the investigation office must be on your list of guards!" Shen Jun said to Tang Qiuli with a serious face.

Tang Qiuli didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "A mere dozen or so Japanese spies made Shen Jun, the famous spy chief, so nervous? I came to Busan to sit in the town in person. It's alarmist. With you, Shen Jun, I'm so scared that I dare not Going out? I don't care about the guards, you can ask Captain Huang!"

Before Shen Jun could open his mouth, Shanhu said bluntly: "I have no objection. Regarding your security work, the security brigade and the investigation office have joined forces, and the level of your security has been raised to the special level!"

Tang Qiuli stared at Shanhu quite unexpectedly, it was very strange, if it was normal, who would dare to question the ability of the guard brigade, this guy must be a fryer like a thunderbolt, what happened today, unlike Shanhu style?

Shen Jun is happy. Before meeting with the teacher, he had already had an in-depth exchange with Shan Hu on the phone. The two of them had the same opinion. If more than a dozen Japanese agents escaped from the investigation office, it proves that they are all masters. , in Busan city and its surrounding areas, there are 10,000+ troops with many numbers, hiding more than a dozen old-fashioned Japanese spies. Shanhu didn't dare to be careless.

Seeing that the teacher was suffering from a slump in Shanhu, Shen Jun was secretly happy, and then said: "Master, I have made arrangements to change the residence of the Italians immediately to ensure safety. In addition, I also suggest that you should communicate with the Italians as soon as possible. Negotiate, so as not to have long nights and dreams!"

Tang Qiuli thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That makes sense, the Italians have been hanging out for three days, and the time is right!" Then, he called Ge Zhenzhuang, the chief of staff, and told him to inform the Italians that negotiations would begin tomorrow morning. .

In the afternoon of the same day, more than a dozen military jeeps arrived at the Italian delegation's residence, pulling Ciano and others in different directions. The Italians didn't know why, so they asked the major, and the major was a hard word. "for safety!"

More than a dozen military jeeps left the city from different directions in Busan, and then gathered in a villa on the outskirts of Busan. This villa was originally the private villa of a senior officer of the Japanese army stationed on the Korean Peninsula. It was built like a fortress.

Ge Zhenzhuang had already arrived at the villa ahead of schedule, and when the Italians arrived, he told Ciano, "Our division commander has returned from the front line and will negotiate with you tomorrow morning. In addition, I might as well tell you that the Japanese are very frightened by this negotiation. A lot of agents have been sent to infiltrate Busan, the purpose is to get rid of you, so, for the sake of safety, change your residence!"

The Italians simply do not believe that Japan and Italy are allies so good that they can wear a pair of trousers. Besides, this negotiation is about the issue of prisoners of war. Why did the Japanese attack themselves? Or alarmist intimidation, the purpose is to reap more benefits at tomorrow's negotiating table.

Seeing the expressions of a dozen Italians, Ge Zhenzhuang knew that they didn't believe his words at all, and he didn't explain too much. He smiled lightly, turned around and left. Before leaving, he didn't forget to say, "Don't hit me!" The south wall does not look back!"

The Chinese finally agreed to negotiate. The feeling Ciano and others had been in prison for several days finally dissipated, and the mood improved. After eating, they gathered together to study the negotiation strategy starting tomorrow.

In the morning of the next day, Tang Qiuli came to the villa on the outskirts of Busan secretly. He brought not many negotiators. Refers to Chief of Staff Zhao Yu and Lieutenant General, who stayed at the frontline headquarters to sit in charge. For his trip, Shanhu and Shen Jun took great pains, arranging the security work like Tietong.

On the third floor of the villa, there is a spacious reception room. The April sunshine of the Korean peninsula shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The room is warm and comfortable. Tang Qiuli has a cup of tea by his hand, with a faint smile on his face , looked relaxed and casual, Mei Ting beside her was dressed in a military uniform, the mature charm of a woman and the sassyness of a soldier were perfectly combined, radiant and brightening the whole room.

Seeing Mei Ting's brilliance, Tang Qiuli's eyes were a little blurred. He didn't know how long he hadn't appreciated his wife's beauty. He took Mei Ting's hand and said, "Sister Ting, I regret bringing you here. The Italians have negotiated, and after a while the negotiations start, if I am impulsive, you have to remind me!"

Mei Ting knocked off her husband's hand with a smile, looked at him with big black and white eyes, and said, "Don't pretend to be pitiful, would you be impulsive to the person who sent you money? Who would believe it, I feel sorry for the Italians." Come on, why did I meet you? Well, it’s a bit normal, the negotiation will start immediately!"

Led by several special guards, a dozen Italians headed by Ciano arrived at the door of the reception room. They finally saw the Chinese who made 10,000+ Italian soldiers captive, and the man beside him who A charming and beautiful female officer.
