Chapter 55 Peace Talks
After school the next day, Xu Jinluo came to Yi Huan with a cooperation letter from the pharmaceutical factory. His handwriting was written in a fountain pen, with regular script in a straight and stroke-by-stroke manner. "Miss Yi Si, this is what the leader asked me to send to you."
"Is this written by your group leader?" Yi Huan flipped through the cooperation book. She thought Yan Zi would write cursive scripts, but she didn't expect that what she wrote was regular script.
"It was written by the regiment commander. The regiment commander originally wanted to come here in person, but a few ministers had something to discuss, and the regiment commander was left by the governor." Xu Jinluo explained.
"I'll take this back and take a closer look. If there is any problem, I'll find you again." Yi Huan didn't say that he would look for Yan Zihui. The peace talks were probably at the most critical moment. If the agreement could not be reached, the battle would definitely continue. Yan Zihui would be very busy in the future, and hoped that it would not affect the construction of the pharmaceutical factory.
In fact, the peace talks have reached a deadlock. Although Japan was clearly defeated, it made a shocking demand, "The Northeast Army attacked the Japanese military exercise area for no reason... and asked the Northeast Army to make compensation to Japan, severely punish the generals who caused the accident, and ensure that similar situations will not happen again. Due to the casualties of the Japanese Army, the Northeast Army must pay Japan a billion Chinese dollar compensation. In addition, it must also compensate Japan for its losses in the war... In the end, the Northeast Army's strength must be limited to less than 100,000..."
When Yan Zi heard this, he was angry and laughed. Who was fighting the defeat? Are you still shameless?
The Japanese envoy also made a loud voice and threatened: "If the Northeast Army does not agree to the request of Japan, the war will continue. The powerful Japanese Army will directly destroy the Northeast Army, and all those who dare to oppose Japan will be dead."
The arrogant people were beyond endurance. Yan Zi replied, "I'm waiting for the Japanese Army to destroy the Northeast Army." He was about to leave, and Yan Zikang, who was sitting beside him, also stood up and walked out. Damn, just talk nonsense. Pat the gun on his waist, it's better to see the truth on the battlefield.
Yan Zihui was only hostile to the Japanese, while Yan Zikang had a deep hatred. His eyes were blinded by the Japanese soldiers in a battle, and his essence and blood were injured, so that he could no longer give birth to children and had only three daughters under his knees. This is one of the reasons why he cared so much about Yan Zihui. The Yan family's legitimate lineage could only be passed on by Yan Zihui. When Yan Zihui was seriously injured and unconscious, he rushed into the prisoner-of-war camp and shot and killed 150 prisoners of war. If Yan Zihui had not woken up in time, more than a thousand Japanese soldiers in the prisoner-of-war camp would have died at his hands.
Yan Zikang followed Governor Yan to the battlefield to kill the enemy at the age of thirteen. His anger was more serious than Yan Zihui and he was unwilling to negotiate. He wanted to kill all the Japanese soldiers. It was Yan Zi who looked back on the overall situation and was not strong enough that he convinced him. He compromised with the pro-war factions and agreed to the peace talks, but the attitude of the Japanese minister made him angry.
The Japanese minister obviously did not expect the situation to develop like this and was stunned. Seeing that the Yan brothers were leaving, the ministers from several other countries quickly dissuaded him, "Please stay, the two young marshals, please stay. This condition is possible. It is normal for there to be differences in the peace talks. Negotiations are to resolve differences. In order to end the war as soon as possible, please ask the two young marshals not to act irritably."
The British ministers were speaking, and Japan and Britain were allies. For the sake of the British Empire, they had to help Japan continue the peace talks.
"I won't talk about it anymore. Let's see who can beat whom. Damn, if I don't kill all the Japanese, my surname is Yan." Yan Zikang roared.
"My Lord, my elder brother is right. We won this war, but the Japanese looked like they were the winner, which made me very disgusted. If the Japanese are not clear-headed, then we will use guns and cannons to make them awake." Yan Zihui said in a humble and arrogant manner. Although he did not have the strength to fight against many powerful people, peace was not something that could begged for.
The ambassadors of other countries with Britain and Japan that may have conflicts of interest or old revenge have accused Japan of being arrogant and unable to tell the situation on the battlefield. After being defeated, they still want to enjoy the power to defeat, and they are shameless...
The Japanese minister's face was so blushed by the words of the crowd that he did not dare to say more. The British minister asked with a smile: "Young Marshal, the Japanese side has made their requests. What are your requirements? You can make it, and the two sides negotiate to reach a consensus."
The posture has been put on, and it has also destroyed the Japanese's prestige. Yan Zihui stopped when he saw it, sat back on his chair, and said, "First of all, Japan must apologize to the Northeast Army and compensate us for our losses... The Japanese army and immigrants must evacuate from the Northeast..."
Yan Zi's request was also a big lion's mouth, completely aimed at the requests made by the Japanese envoy. The Japanese envoy was so angry that he shouted: "Impossible! If you will not accept such conditions, you are delusional..."
The conditions proposed by both sides were very harsh and there was no way to reach an agreement. Even the Japanese envoy wanted to cease the war and negotiate slowly, but Yan Zihui refused. The negotiations on that day had no result. Yan Zihui asked someone to send a telegram to the front line to ask them to strengthen their attack. The Japanese refused to give in, so they would use guns and cannons to make them retreat. As long as the situation on the battlefield became more and more critical, the Japanese people knew that they were afraid. The sound of cannons was still roaring on the battlefield and the guns were dense.
The peace talks were not yet settled, there was no report in the newspaper, but the war was still fighting, and the people were very concerned. They were afraid that the Northeast army would defeat the war, so the Japanese took advantage of the situation to move south, invade Jizhou City, and become slaves to the destruction of the country. However, after all, the war had not spread yet, and Jizhou City was still singing and dancing, and the school beauty competition was still held.
Yi Huan didn't want to go to see it, but she couldn't help but Peng Lingfu wanted to go, so she followed her and Zeng Shaowei with the tickets issued by the school to watch the finals; ten of them were selected from the fifty people in the semi-finals and participated in the finals. Tang Mier drew the draw number six, and she was the sixth one to perform.
Most of the girls who came to participate can let go, but no matter how hard they can, the boudoir education in China has restricted them for thousands of years; therefore, their performances are not very innovative, either playing the piano, playing the zither, or holding the pipa until Tang Mi'er comes out.
Tang Mi'er was wearing a long dress with a bright red lace. The music with a strong rhythm sounded. She kicked her legs frequently with the beat, and she lifted her skirt from time to time to reveal her white thighs. Her performance was very wild and full of exotic style. Peng Lingfu and Zeng Shaowei were stunned, "This... is too unfair!"
Yi Huan also felt that Tang Mi'er was too brave. This kind of thigh dance was decades later, and there were conservatives criticizing vulgarity and exposing themselves, not to mention now. Listening to this music and watching her dance, Yi Huan felt like a business woman was unaware of the hatred of a country and still sang the back garden flower across the river.
After all ten girls performed, Tang Mier ranked last; those who came to be judges were famous wives, such as Governor Yan's wife, Prime Minister's wife, Chief Education Chief's wife, etc. They could not appreciate her dance and gave her a very low rating.
