Age of Rebirth

Chapter 450 Negotiation Is Procrastination

Chairman Chiang’s bottom line for Wang Chonghui’s negotiations was to maintain the status quo, the Japanese should no longer get involved in Greater Shanghai, withdraw troops from East China, and preserve the Japanese Concession. However, the Japanese must never station troops in Shanghai and its surrounding areas, and China only sends police forces. , to maintain social order in Shanghai.

But the condition given by the Japanese now is to restore the previous status quo. He said that Generalissimo Jiang had already given the bottom line, but even if he refused to do so, Wang Chonghui also felt that the Japanese were ridiculous. Are they here to negotiate?It's like signing an alliance under the castle, it's absurd, Wang Chonghui shook his head again and again, looking at Konohashi Taro's big mouth, he said to himself.

After Konohashi Taro finished speaking, he looked up at Wang Chonghui, the chief representative of the Chinese side, and waited for his reply. He knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for the Chinese side to agree to such harsh conditions with the prestige of victory, and he was like a shrewd businessman. Throw a high price tag, then bargain.

From his experience, this negotiation will not produce any results without repeated bargaining. It is normal for it to drag on for a month or two, and the headquarters also requires the attention of the Chinese Supreme Command. Attracted to this negotiation, when the time comes, the situation will change, and when the Chinese understand it, it will be too late, and the result can only be beneficial to the Japanese. [

Wang Chonghui understood in his heart that he, the chief representative, was just trying to be on par with the Japanese Foreign Ministry and master some basic diplomatic etiquette and procedures. In fact, the one who mastered the overall situation was Deputy Commissioner Tang who was sitting next to him with his expression unchanged all the time. Chairman, that's what Chairman Jiang told him, so he set his sights on Tang Qiuli.

Tang Qiuli smiled, with indescribable contempt and sarcasm in his smile, the Japanese's head was kicked by a donkey?In the case of his fiasco in Songhu, he still proposed such shameful and even ridiculous conditions. They had no sincerity in negotiating, and he was not even interested in talking nonsense with them. He signaled Wang Chonghui to come up with our conditions.

The conditions of the two parties are far apart, and there is no basis for negotiation at all. The menacing threats of those Japanese generals, the Great Japanese Empire, has tolerated the brutal behavior of the squadron, don't regard our tolerance as weakness and can be bullied !

When General Zhang Zhizhong heard this, he was furious on the spot. He had fought bloody battles with the Japanese for more than ten days. More than 8 of his soldiers fell on the outskirts of Shanghai. He directly said to those Japanese generals: "You Japanese are weak? What a big joke. Who started the August [-]th Incident in Shanghai? And who fired at our soldiers first? You know it very well. , Shanghai was originally our territory, and it was bought with the blood and lives of tens of thousands of our soldiers, how could it be given to you defeated generals!"

What Zhang Zhizhong said hurt the wounds of the Japanese. Several senior Japanese generals became angry and glared at Zhang Zhizhong fiercely. It was an indisputable fact that it was a disastrous defeat. No matter how hard the mouth was, the fist lost.

Tang Qiuli nodded slightly towards General Zhang Zhizhong. These few words are enough to treat these Japanese, but it is not polite enough. It is not enough to sprinkle a handful of salt on the wounds of the Japanese. It is best that the negotiation breaks down. Chairman Jiang Throw away your illusions, and fight the Japanese wholeheartedly to the end, and you will save yourself from wasting time here, because watching the Japanese makes you feel uncomfortable.

He politely said to Kono Hashitaro: "Mr. Kono, I would like to ask you about the recent situation of some old friends." Kono looked blank. He didn't know which old friends Tang Qiuli was talking about?Furthermore, the Chinese devil did not ask himself the truth about his friend.

"How about General Muto Nobuyoshi, General Tashiro Kanichiro, and General Seishiro Itagaki from your country coming in?" After Tang Qiuli finished speaking, Zhang Zhizhong and the others couldn't help it, and they couldn't help but laugh out loud at a diplomatic occasion. , these unlucky ghosts, who used to be military-level commanders of the Japanese side, were all planted in the hands of Vice Chairman Tang. Among them, Itagaki became a ghost under the sword. Vice Chairman Tang deliberately let the Japanese People cry!

Kono's face turned livid, and the senior Japanese generals gritted their teeth, wishing they could eat Tang Qiuli, but this Chinese devil's sinful face, with a sinister smile on his face, was even more abominable. say what?The few of them were all killed by this person, and the negotiation broke up unhappy.

Konohashi Taro was finally a senior diplomat. Before he left, he suggested that in view of the huge gap between the positions of China and Japan, there was no basis for negotiation. He needed to ask his own government for instructions, but he also suggested that China revise the conditions so that the positions of both sides could be changed. It is approaching a consensus, laying the foundation for the next negotiation, and it is suggested that three days later, the second round of negotiations will be held, and the two sides will come up with revised conditions.

Wang Chonghui also meant the same thing. There was no way to continue the conversation. He needed to go to Chairman Jiang and report the conditions of the Japanese. Chairman Jiang would probably be very angry.

Sure enough, after listening to Wang Chonghui's report, Generalissimo Jiang turned blue with anger, and cursed repeatedly: "Mother Xipi! The Japanese bully people too much. This is an alliance under the city. Tell the Japanese that no one of his soldiers can enter Shanghai!" Jiang The chairman was angry, but he still hoped to reach an agreement with the Japanese that would be beneficial to China.

He made some changes to China's bottom line. The Japanese Concession can be restored, allowing Japanese expatriates to continue to enjoy the same treatment as other powers. Japan can send police forces to maintain the security of the Japanese Concession together with the Chinese police force. Others must not Changed, Generalissimo Jiang had lingering fears about the presence of Japanese troops in Shanghai. Nanjing is too close to Shanghai. Japanese troops approaching Shanghai could directly threaten Nanjing. Shanghai is the front line. Under the front, it is extremely dangerous.

And Tang Qiuli had long forgotten the matter of the negotiation, and he was really not interested in thinking about this deceitful farce. The troops in the area will not relax their vigilance a little bit, because this so-called negotiation is simply a smoke screen.

He used these few days to arrive at the Sulu Mobile Corps deployed in Hangzhou Bay. Two infantry regiments, a heavy artillery regiment, and an air defense regiment were reinforced in the Taihang Mountain base. He was incorporated into the two brigades originally commanded by Chang Feng, so that the two brigades reached full strength again.

Tang Qiuli took a comprehensive look at the defense system of the army, and couldn't stop praising it. Brother Qiusheng smiled and said: "Master, this is all thanks to the chief of staff. He buried a large number of landmines in the base area, and buried them in the ground. If the Japanese plan to land here, they will suffer!"

Chang Feng just smiled, and Tang Qiuli looked at this newcomer of the independent division appreciatively, and had already planned to let him take charge of his own affairs. When the soldiers saw that the division commander came to the front line in person, they were all excited to talk to him, Su Lu The mobile corps was developed on the basis of the first and second brigades of the independent division, which were left in Dingbian. It turned out that those veterans had served as commanders at the battalion, company and platoon level. To their legendary teacher.

These soldiers can’t get enough of everything about him. They pester the company platoon leaders to tell stories about the Independent Division. When they met today, they were so young that they were amazed. He doesn’t look like a majestic general. Laughing but not talking, he is so kind to everyone, almost like his younger brother, his fear has been completely eliminated, and he feels that it is his blessing to follow such a person.

After careful consideration, there is an indescribable energy in the teacher, especially his eyes, when looking at you, seem to be able to see through all the thoughts in your heart, making you feel like following him to any place unconsciously Tang Qiuli was very happy to have close contact and communication with the soldiers, especially the newly recruited soldiers. Being with them, he felt like returning to the old way of fighting the enemy and killing the Japanese with his hands. [

This kind of feeling made him feel very comfortable. Ever since he made such a big stand, Mei Ting and Shan Hu had already deprived him of the opportunity to join the army. At noon, he refused Brother Qiu Sheng and Chang Feng. In order to meet all the requirements for food, he ran to an infantry company, huddled with a large group of soldiers, and ate a hearty meal.

While eating happily, the soldiers around him put down their jobs and stood at attention. The originally lively scene suddenly became serious. He looked up in surprise and saw Mei Ting looking at him reproachfully, followed by eight soldiers from the special guard. As soon as Mei Ting turned around, Tang Qiuli disappeared, and he couldn't find it anywhere in the headquarters.

This is the front line, not only the troops of the independent division, but also the troops of other systems not far ahead, the personnel are messy, no one can guarantee whether there are Japanese spies among them, this is a good opportunity to make a move, Shanhu is also anxious Yes, I trained several of Tang Qiuli's personal guards, and everyone looked for them separately. It was still the husband and wife who had a telepathic connection, and Mei Ting caught him on the spot.

The soldiers may not know that this is Mrs. Tang, but they recognize her military rank, which is unique to the regiment leaders. Behind them are a few military officers who are obviously different from their own equipment and full of murderous looks. They know that this beautiful colonel is not ordinary. People, seeing the teacher dejectedly escorted away by the female colonel, were very surprised.

Just when the company commander heard that the division commander had arrived in his company, he rushed over and saw the back of the division commander. Seeing the soldiers like this, he told them that she was the wife of our division commander. A teacher with tens of thousands of horses must be in pain and joy to have such a beautiful and powerful wife!

Tang Qiuli was complained by Mei Ting, everyone was worried about you, and without guards, it would be dangerous to run out alone, as she said, there seemed to be tears in her big beautiful eyes, Tang Qiuli was so frightened that she hurried After making a promise that she would never do it again, Mei Ting smiled happily.

In the afternoon, Tang Qiuli arrived at the forward position. In front of him was the defensive position of Zhang Fakui's Eighth Army. He observed carefully with a telescope, and his face gradually became gloomy. Qiu Sheng and Chang Feng beside him were puzzled.
