Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Who Are You?
Chapter 320 Who are you?
"Mr. President, the primary issue now is that the two armies cease fire on the spot, so that they can talk about anything else." The person who spoke was naturally the freshly released Japanese Foreign Minister Mr. Zhou Ming. This time he re-worked as a Feng Fu, and he no longer had the shabby appearance that I had not known a few days ago. He held his glasses on the edge of gold wire and talked with each other. He had a very good diplomatic style. Yuchen leaned on the sofa, listening quietly as he spoke there.
After the new Japanese government came to power, Kato Shuming met Yuchen as soon as possible, and his intention was very urgent. Although the Japanese government expressed peace and sincerity, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were still beaten in the Northeast and North Korea, Yuchen had no intention of stopping. No one knew what he planned! The diplomatic representatives of Western powers stood on Kato Shuming's side this time, and put pressure on them openly and secretly hoped that Yuchen would cease fire on the spot and start negotiations. The chaos in East Asia would be over. However, the president was full of youth on weekdays, but he always had a lot of ideas. He forced Kato Shuming's appointment for a while, and did not agree to his request until the early morning of August 11th. At this time, the Nishiyuanji Cabinet had already taken office for 24 hours.
"Oh? I just realized now that this war is such a joke for the Japanese Empire. If you want to do it, you can do it and say peace, you can be peaceful? Is this a game? Japan suddenly launched a full-scale attack on me, Fengtian. Millions of troops and our defense forces fought from the Northeast to North Korea, hundreds of thousands of casualties, and millions of people in our northeast were displaced. The northern coastal cities were shelled. After our army launched a full-scale counterattack, you will have to cease fire on the spot? Our governments officially declared war and are still in a state of war!" Yuchen retorted lightly, and seemed to have not taken the strong diplomatic pressure he was facing now to heart.
The Allies have officially submitted a note, asking Yuchen why he did not respond to the call of the new Japanese government, achieved a ceasefire on the spot, and then began negotiations. Their words mean that they will start negotiations now, and they will also help China win some negotiation benefits. If the war continues, their diplomatic position will be more regretful in the future. That is, the United States, which has always cooperated with China in diplomacy, also passed messages through ambassadors and special envoys. If Yuchen does not end the war as soon as possible, he will adopt a more constructive attitude with the Nishiyuanji government on the issue of negotiation aftermath. Then the US government's aid to the Republic of China has always been reconsidered.
The domestic cabinet and parliament expressed a warm welcome on the day the Xiyuan Temple government came to power. They believed that the war, which was not very intense, had great damage, and was spent money on water, had several times asked Yuchen to see him and asked him why he still launched such a large-scale comprehensive offensive on the front line. When the reporter interviewed Song Jiaoren, Song Jiaoren, who was both dissatisfied and anxious about Yuchen's decision, even said unspeakably: "The warlike attitude of the National Defense Force must be limited! We are the Republic of China, and the war cannot be diverted by one person's will!" This sentence is not so cautious, and the words pointed directly at Yuchen and the National Defense Forces, which immediately caused an uproar in the media and caused a lot of controversy.
It can be said that Yuchen is now facing internal and external pressure. However, in the military, the opinion is that the war is best to end after achieving decisive results. The soldiers have become excited because of the victory. They believe that only the ones that are defeated are the most reliable. Now hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops are surrounded in the narrow area of Kanto Prefecture, lacking supplies and low morale. It is the time to wipe out the main essence of the Japanese Army in one go. Such a blow can make the Japanese Army, a vicious opponent, unable to overtake for more than ten years. This is a happy avenge of national humiliation and rescuing national hatred! The Korean Defense Force is also advancing rapidly. If this country is not fully controlled by this country, how can the defense force be willing? As soon as the domestic remarks represented by Song Jiaoren came out, it also aroused great disgust in the army. This is another pressure for Yuchen. But he looks like he doesn't take it much to heart now.
"The attacks on your country at that time were really those traitor groups that were in chaos in Taisho's politics. Under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, our empire has eliminated the traitors who destroyed the relations between China and Japan and caused trouble to you. We really regret that the future of China and Japan should be to work together and support each other. Moreover, China and Japan are allied countries, and should jointly contribute to the cause of the Allied countries in the future. This is also the high expectations of international friends for China and Japan......You must agree with it too!"
Use international forces to suppress me? Yuchen snorted coldly in his heart. His words gradually became sharp: "Am Is this apologizing about accidentally throwing the girl's skirt on the street? We are suffering from naked invasion! Our people are massacred, the city is burned, and the property is lost! We shed blood! If I send planes to bomb Tokyo, and then give the commander an title of the chaos group of the Republic of China and shoot him, will you not pursue it? Then?
Everyone sat down happily and talked about peace? Isn’t this a joke! We are conducting a just anti-aggression war, and we want to achieve a complete victory! This is not transferred by anyone’s will! We must take back what we lost, launch aggression, massacre the people, and burn the murderers of the city. We must use our iron fist to punish them! This is the entire purpose of our battle! If our goal is not achieved, this just national counterattack will not be terminated!"
His tone was awesome and his expression was equally awesome.
Kato Zhou Ming's face changed a little, and his tone gradually became colder: "Then what the President means is to continue the war? This is harmful to the situation in East Asia but not beneficial! I also understand the situation in your country. Without the support of the great powers, how long can your war last? Now peace is the kingdom for East Asia to return to normal. The people of both countries can no longer withstand bloodshed and sacrifice!"
One of the most interesting things in this world is listening to the former invaders shouting peace there. Yuchen touched his chin with interest and thought there. However, the expression on his face did not become loose at all. He was just listening to Kato Shuming continue to talk loudly there. He had already stood up, not using gestures to strengthen his tone there.
"The Empire does not want war or continue to fight. But this is not fear of war! But this is because this war caused by the Taisho chaos political group is meaningless! Our country is willing to return to the starting point of the Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty and get along with your country in a friendly manner. The losses caused by the unfortunate war between the two countries are also willing to slowly negotiate with your country on the issue of aftermath. In short, it is meaningless to let the war continue! The Empire is bleeding, and your country is also bleeding. With the great talent and strategy of the President, as long as peace can be restored in East Asia, your country can develop and build to a certain extent is really unlimited! If your President insists on his own, the Empire will never give in from a reasonable standpoint, so the subsequent losses and bleeding will be meaningless!"
His voice echoed in the reception room, and the Chinese entourage who served as the translator couldn't help but look angry. The Japanese devils were still so arrogant after losing the battle. If they were given a advantage on the battlefield, it would be great? Yuchen was quietly analyzing the information revealed in Kato's words. The Nishiyuanji government's offer was to return to the starting point of the Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty? Lüshun, Kanto Prefecture, was still his, and North Korea was still his. The biggest concession may be to give some compensation economically? What a joke! You can't even get things on the battlefield at the negotiating table!
He suddenly stood up: "Enough! If you pray for peace, you must come up with a attitude of praying for peace. My millions of troops can drive your army out of the sea at any time. I have wiped out 200,000 to 300,000 Japanese troops, and the remaining hundreds of thousands are just fish under the cauldron! Whether in terms of battlefield situation or morality, I have an absolute advantage. I am not the one who hopes to cease the war now! If you really have the sincerity to end this war and want hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers to go home, just listen to my conditions----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shun, return to Taiwan, and return all the domestic Japanese concessions that have been ceded by you. Compensate military expenses and punish war criminals. The status of North Korea is temporarily under the military control of our Republic of China to the north of the 38th North latitude, and jointly manage the international management of North Korea to the south of the 38th North latitude, and solve the problem of North Korea's independence within a certain period of time. I have no room for concessions. Behind me is the roar of 450 million people's revenge, the determination of millions of national defense forces soldiers to the end, and the entire nation looks at my eyes! No matter what pressure there is outside, my decision will not change! Just like that, give away guests!"
Yuchen nodded stiffly to Kato Zhou Ming and signaled, turned around and left the reception room. Kato stood there for a while, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and left. Yuchen quickly walked back to his office and sat down. Chen Zhuo, Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace, sent the minutes of his meeting with Kato Zhou Ming. Yuchen pressed his eyebrows tiredly and said to Chen Zhuo: "Let it go, both sides have opened the price, and the following is bargaining. Buqun...... Help me meet Ambassador Cooper and Ambassador Crawford, and arrange the meeting in a staggered manner. Leave more time for Ambassador Cooper. This time, to achieve our goal, what really takes to work is in these places... Is Nian Sun outside?"
While silently recording Yuchen's orders quickly, Chen Zhuo said respectfully: "General Staff Chief Wu is waiting outside to see you. You have met Kato longer than scheduled. The Chief of Staff has been waiting there." Yuchen nodded: "Let Nian Sun come in... Also, at these times, the cabinet officials and members of the parliament asked for a meeting, but I didn't see you, saying I was busy."
Chen Zhuo nodded and agreed to leave, and then he heard the loud military boots. Wu Cai walked in. When he saw Yuchen, he habitually saluted to the point of being attentive. However, Yuchen had already sat upright before he arrived and smiled and said, "Niansun, please spare me, this is the one in front of me. What is the statistics on the results of the battle and what is the situation on the front line?"
Wu Cai sat down and smiled and said, "The results of this battle are still being counted one after another. According to the president's intention, the world should know how great the results we have achieved and what kind of advantage we are in now. So far, the four Japanese divisions have been completely annihilated, and seven of their divisions have been annihilated, and a large number of divisions have suffered losses to varying degrees. Now, the main divisions of the 17 Japanese army have been divided by us on different battlefields. More than 150,000 Japanese troops have been killed, and the Japanese army is injured is about the same number, and more than 10,000 were captured. There are also a large number of missing Japanese troops who committed suicide due to injuries. There is no count. More than 600 cannons were destroyed and 520 were seized.
There are countless rifles and machine guns, and other military supplies are piled up. Most of North Korea has occupied us............ Our army on the front line is launching a fierce attack with its superior force and firepower. All the reserved infantry and reserve troops of the preparation artillery and the vitality of the infantry are all used. The defense line of the Japanese army's heavy army group shrinks step by step. Although they fight desperately, they still cannot stop our defense army from moving forward. The Japanese casualties every hour are in a thousand under our superior firepower. According to the estimate of the front line, at most one week, we can drive the Japanese army of the 13 divisions in the Guandongzhou area from the sea. Even if they send fleets to withdraw these remnants of the army, they will have to throw at least half of them.
The situation of the Japanese Second Army in Korea is similar to that of the Japanese army in Kanto Prefecture. After the coup on August 8 in Japan, the morale of the army was almost completely collapsed. The newly formed army divisions in China are now in chaos and it is absolutely impossible to reinforce the battlefield in the short term. The Japanese army can be confirmed to have lost the ability to continue to resist."
Yuchen's eyes flashed: "Very good! With this strength, I have the basis for my negotiation. Tell Zongyun that the more you fight, the better. Don't have any worries! Beat the little Japanese devils in the death! I wonder if Zhuoran can come back to join in the fun..."
Wu Cai smiled faintly and hesitated and said, "President, there is something else..."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Now there is some emotion inside the army. They shouted peace to the Cabinet Parliament and accused the National Defense Force of being wary and dissatisfied. They believed that their threats to foreigners were too soft. The long phone calls for accusation came to my desk......... The President explained it in the military. The first military cannot interfere in these political affairs, and the second military and the parliament also have their considerations. We soldiers cannot blame them casually. We cannot intensify the contradictions..."
Yuchen waved his hand. At this time, he wanted the army to hold its energy to beat the Japanese. There was a little resentment within the army, but he still couldn't control it? At this time, he still had absolute confidence in his influence within the army. The key now lies in negotiations! He knew that the internal thoughts of the army were a little unstable, but he didn't think it was a great thing. After He Sui came back, with this general in charge, there was no problem with everything. He just smiled and did not answer Wu Cai's words, and said lightly: "Let Bai Siwen come to see me... don't think of sleeping tonight..."
Wu Caixiao sighed in an inauspicious way, and finally walked out without saying anything. The president has made some arrangements for what he is most worried about recently. Maybe he should believe in the president? At this time, he must also open his eyes. How difficult is the state affairs, so let's get through this hurdle... I hope Zhuoran can come back soon.
Li Rui stood there without any intention of sitting down. The sound of cannons outside the command post was still ringing through the sky and earth. The flash of cannon fire made his face light and dark, making his expressionless face even more unpredictable.
Hui Yingci, who was sitting opposite him, looked even more profound and unfathomable. Li Rui didn't deal with the colonel of this intelligence system. He knew that this colonel was also one of the new forces that Yuchen values and was very capable. But Li Rui seemed to be able to smell the same ambition as himself in him, which made him become more vigilant without realizing it. What is the matter with this important figure in this intelligence system? He would never ask him to have tea and chat. They didn't have this friendship either.
Hui Yingci suddenly smiled faintly: "Terminating a million troops, you will be able to defeat the attack and win the battle. Chief of Staff Zongyun is worthy of being the new generation of war god of our National Welfare Army. At this last moment, he led such a Hu Ben to launch the final general attack on the Japanese enemy. At this point in his life, I am afraid there is no regret!
Li Rui snorted: "Col. If you come here just to tell me this and flatter Mr. Li, please come back. I don't have that much time. Hundreds of thousands of troops are launching the final attack on the Japanese army. I don't have time to chat. If there is anything, let's talk about it slowly after the war is over."
Hui Yingci smiled and stood up to look at Li Rui and said, "Yes, there is plenty of time after the war. Anyway, the Chief of Staff is worried about not being after defeating Japan, a powerful enemy. Such a powerful national defense force may not have room for a short period of time. Either they go to Europe to be cannon fodder for those who make money in war, or they will cut down their current majestic lineup. The sword is sharp and can only argue on the wall every night. Everything you have done now cannot make this country better in the future. Although you are full of passion and the command of a million troops is determined. What will happen in the future? It is still in a cloud of clouds and fog, right?"
Li Rui walked into him without saying a word, and suddenly slapped the table, Yingting's face became a little ferocious: "What are you talking nonsense! Where did you come from so much nonsense? I don't have time to listen to you talking to you here, please! If you have any questions, please talk to you, Bai Siwen, the leader of the Jinyiwei! The Republic of China was not the Ming Dynasty, and you don't need to supervise the army!"
Hui Yingci also pulled her face down: "We are the East Factory and West Factory. What is your Chief of Staff? Yue Fei? Wen Tianxiang? Why did you hold a secret executive committee meeting of the Youth Army Conference in the battlefield and what kind of letters do you have with Yang Xizi? How did your trusted staff contact each other for meetings? Why do you care so much about the Central Security Division and go to this division two or three times a day? What did Yang Xizi make and what did you think? After knowing that He Zhuoran is coming back, what did you think? The president trusts you very much, and almost handed over half of the strength of the National Defense Forces to your hands, and what did you do? What are your plans to do in your slightest in size? Do you really want me to tell them one by one?"
He pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Yang Xizi is a literati without knowledge. He doesn't have much talent. He can say everything he can say. I want to ask here today if the heroes who went to Europe and wiped out all the national idols of the Japanese Kwantung Army. What is the explanation for your behavior!"
As the fire was shining, Li Rui's face turned ashen.
The "Guzhen" light cruiser ordered by the Navy in the Republic of China slowly sailed into the Wusong Wharf in Shanghai. This 3,700-ton new warship of the Republic of China returned to the country at the highest speed. Most of the officers and soldiers on the ship were elites who had participated in previous naval battles in the British Navy. When the Japanese fleet tried to go south to block the Chinese coast, a telegram at the Navy headquarters made them stay in Mumbai for a few more days, and the overall situation of the war would be settled. It would be really not cost-effective if these navy seeds were sacrificed in vain! What's more, the most prestigious among the three masters of the National Defense Forces on this warship, former commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force to Europe, Lieutenant General He Sui and He Zhuoran.
Looking at the snow-white waves shattering on the bow of the boat, looking at the motherland port gradually appearing in front of me. Even if I calm down, I was still standing on the bow deck. The naval officers and soldiers around me were already cheering and waving the military caps on their heads at the dock. Motherland, I, He Shu, are back! Verdun, the fierce battle in the Somme seems to be still yesterday. At this time, what I saw was the clear clouds and clear winds of the motherland sky.
What is the president now? The mission back this time is really as Brother Nian Sun hinted, and he needs to rely on his reputation to take charge of the National Defense Forces? Is the war against Japan over the end? What will the negotiations against Japan be like? Is that person okay now?
After two years of expedition, He Sui thought that his heart was as hard as iron, but at the moment of seeing his motherland, he realized that he still belonged to this land. Even if he died, he would be willing to fall into the arms of his motherland. The National Defense Forces we have worked hard to create must not let down so many martyrs who had sacrificed!
