"This was bribed by Yumi Moriyama. I didn't have time to open it yet, and I didn't know what was inside!" Luo Qingshan took out the paper bag that Yumi Moriyama gave him just now and said.

"Oh?" Lu Shan took the paper bag and weighed it, it was quite heavy.

When I opened it, I saw an exquisite square box. When I opened it, I saw that it was golden and shocked Luo Qingshan opened his mouth wide.

"Haha, this is a Swiss gold watch. Yumi Moriyama has a lot of capital for you!" Lu Shan took out the object and smiled.

"Mr. Lu, I've paid the gold watch for public service. Please take it and I'll leave first!" Luo Qingshan said hurriedly.

"Come back!" Lu Shan shouted, "Since it was given to you by someone, then you should take it first. If someone smells it, what do you say?"

"But Mr. Lu, this watch is too expensive, I..."

"It's expensive, it's also a dead thing. As long as it can work in your hands, what's wrong?" Lu Shan handed it over and reminded him, "Get the technical department to check it first and make sure you haven't touched it!"

"Yes, thank you Mr. Lu!" Luo Qingshan stretched out his hands and excitedly took the box containing the gold pocket watch!

Although the thing was given to him by Yumi Moriyama, he was not grateful in his heart. He was grateful to Lu Shan. He regarded this precious gold pocket watch as the most precious gift Lu Shan gave him and regarded it as a family heirloom!

Indeed, the value of this gold pocket watch in decades can really become a treasure. It is not an exaggeration to regard it as a family heirloom. If it can still move, it will be worth doubled!

No. 36 Gogol Street. New residence of the Japanese Kanto Army Negotiation delegation!

It took me more than two hours to make it happen. I had to settle down for dozens of people. Fortunately, there were many rooms in this villa, otherwise I really didn’t know how to arrange so many people to move in!

The study of the original owner on the upper floor was opened as a conference room, including five people, including Kenji Doihara, Jung Tada, Yumi Moriyama, Shizuo Takeda and Kisaburo Koriki, the adjutant of Kenji Doihara, who are now the core of the Kwantung Army delegation in Harbin!

As for the Manchu delegation, they still stayed at the Yamato Hotel, they didn't have the courage to follow the Japanese to make the conditions. If they had any dissatisfaction, they could only endure it!

"The Soviet side has officially informed us that the Great Japanese Empire is not qualified to participate in the negotiations on the Middle East Railway. In other words, the Soviets and the Chinese people do not recognize our equity in the Middle East Railway. They think that our previous acquisitions are illegal!" Kenji Doihara's face was very dark, and was shaved by the Chinese people on the first day. The Soviet people shaved the face of the Great Japanese Empire twice within two days!

"Why should the Soviets do this? We have the authorization from Manchuria, and we have the right to operate the Middle East Railway!" Tada Jung shouted.

"It's useless. The Soviet Union does not recognize the Manchurian regime. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Soviet Union is actively reaching an understanding with Nanjing in China and preparing to establish diplomatic relations at the minister level again!" Kenji Doihara said.

"Once Sug and China and Nanjing recognize each other, it will be even more unfavorable for Manchukuo!" Moriyama Yumi analyzed.

"Yes, we are very passive in diplomacy now. In the League of Nations, except for Britain who can still speak from our side, the rest of the countries do not agree with our policies towards Manchukuo!" Kenji Doihara said.

"Manchukuo has been established. Do we still need to overthrow it with our own hands?" Tada Jun said dissatisfied.

"Once we are recognized as an aggression internationally, the situation will be even more unfavorable to us!" Yumi Moriyama.

She has been the first secretary in Moscow for more than half a year and knows very well how bad the Japanese image is in the international field.

"The base camp will not give up its interests in Manchuria, I firmly believe in this!" Tada Jundao.

"As long as we can guarantee the actual interests of the empire in Manchuria, we can actually make appropriate concessions!" Yumi Moriyama.

"Women's opinion!" Tada Jun muttered disdainfully.

"Tada, we are now in a difficult situation. If we do not make a decision quickly, we may be the ones who are dragged down!" Moriyama Yumi sneered, "From the Meiji Restoration, Japan has always defeated the other side in foreign wars, and this time it is defeated. The fundamental reason is that we are too proud and underestimated the enemy. This defeat may be a shame. But it may be a good thing for the empire. Let those who are enthusiastic, see clearly that our opponents are not so weak and incompetent!"

"If you fight face to face, I promise that the loser will definitely be the Chinese!" Tada Jun shouted.

"Do you think the Chinese will stand there and fight you face to face? This is a war, not a duel, it can eliminate the other party. No matter what method is used, just win!" Yumi Moriyama said sarcastically.

"Tada-kun, the most important thing now is how to restart peace talks with the Chinese army. If we go back like this, how to explain to General Muto and to His Majesty the Emperor!" Kenji Doihara said.

"This is probably not easy. The conditions proposed by the Chinese are too harsh. How do we make concessions?" Tada Jundao, at this stage, he supports non-expansion, but that must be based on the premise of not harming the interests of the empire.

"What is your opinion?"

"Your Excellency Muto advises that we can promise not to recognize Manchukuo for the time being, but to maintain the status quo and ensure the interests of the empire in Manchuria." Kenji Doihara.

"Will the Chinese people accept this advice?"

"It's hard to say now. We have to wait for the final decision of the base camp. If the base camp does not agree, there is nothing we can do!" Kenji Doihara said.

"I believe in the wisdom of General Araki!" Tada Junda.

"I hope so!"

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"Telegram from Xinjing!"

"Oh, the base camp has made a decision!" The eyes of the five people in the room lit up.

"It was the telegram from the base camp. The base camp agreed to make concessions to the Chinese people and agreed not to recognize Manchukuo for the time being. You can continue negotiations under this framework!" Kenji Doihara breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the base camp would take a tough attitude. Then the negotiations would break down directly!

"I think the Chinese people should have accepted this condition!" Tada Junda.

"No, they will not accept it easily. If we do not recognize Manchukuo, then who is the subject of the negotiation? We are still Manchukuo. If it is us, then what are our identities? Are we invaders?" asked Yumi Moriyama.

"Yumi, you mean, if we do not recognize Manchukuo for the time being, then the Chinese will be entangled with us in negotiations with whom. Right?" Kenji Doihara said.

"In fact, acknowledging Manchukuo is the basis for our peace talks with the Chinese. Otherwise, no matter how we talk, they can overturn everything before. Although we are fighting with them, we are not the subject, and the real subject is Manchukuo. Only by talking with Manchukuo is the right thing to do!" Moriyama Yumida.

"You mean that not only can't agree to the Chinese people and not recognize the conditions of Manchukuo, but we must also recognize Manchukuo as soon as possible!" A look of surprise flashed in Kenji Doihara's eyes!

"If we promise not to recognize or temporarily refuse to recognize Manchukuo, then Manchukuo is just a local government in China, then we have no right to interfere in other people's internal affairs, that is, they can completely ask us to withdraw our troops. This is a very legitimate reason!" Yumi Moriyama.

"How could Manchuria be a local regime? Besides, Manchuria has an agreement with our Kwantung Army. According to the agreement, we can station troops in Manchuria and have the right to protect him!" Junda Tada.

"Manchukuo can be regarded as a vassal state, while Nanjing is a central dynasty. This is the relationship between the princes and the central dynasty, so it is not wrong to regard Manchukuo as a local regime!" Moriyama Yumidao.

"So what about us who recognize Manchuria?" asked Tada Jung.

"Then Manchukuo is a DL country. Our agreement with Manchukuo is naturally an agreement between countries. Manchukuo is protected by us, so we can follow the agreement and authorization signed by Manchukuo with us. It is naturally the subject of negotiation!" Moriyama Yumida, "But in this way, the empire will be under huge international pressure because everything the empire does is not understood by Western countries, but precedents can be found in Eastern culture!"

"What?"

"Isn't the relationship between North Korea and the Qing Dynasty more than a hundred years ago very similar to the relationship between the empire and Manchukuo now?"

"Ms. Yumi talks about the relationship between the vassal state and the sect leader state!" Jundo Tada.

"It makes sense to analyze from the United States. The current relationship between Manchukuo and the empire should be the relationship between the vassal state and the sect leader. Isn't the United States also a federal country? Don't Britain also have many colonial countries, which belong to the Federation of the British Empire. Why can't Manchukuo become a vassal state of the Great Japanese Empire?" Kenji Doihara nodded.

"Miss Yumi's advice is good, but it is very difficult to implement. Manchuria is different from those countries. If this is necessary to turn Manchuria into a vassal state of the empire, at least it will have to wait until the Chinese army of the Northern Manchuria was eliminated and absolute rule was established!" Kenji Doihara said.

"So, we are in a dilemma?" Tada Jun said dumbfounded.

"If the empire can withstand the pressure from the international community, it is better to admit Manchukuo now, but the result is to offend the Soviet Union, the negotiations will break down directly, a large-scale war breaks out, and even the Chinese will make concessions in exchange for support from the Soviet Union, and no one can see the final outcome!" Yumi Moriyama.

"This is absolutely not possible. The empire's economy can no longer withstand a huge war of more than 100,000 people!" Kenji Doihara said,

"Then you have to give in and let the Chinese take the initiative in negotiations. The empire will lose a large part of its interests. This may only be exchanged for a very short period of peace!" Yumi Moriyama.

"A few years are enough. As long as the empire is given five years, the empire's economy will improve completely. At that time, with the empire's technology and military strength, the Chinese army of the North Manchuria can be eliminated in one fell swoop and control the entire Manchuria again!" Kenji Doihara said.

"Who knows what will happen in five years?" Moriyama Yumi said melancholy, "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to my room to rest first. If there is anything, I'll talk about it tomorrow."

After saying that, Yumi Moriyama got up and left!

"Your Excellency Doihara, Miss Yumi's mood seems not high?" Tada Jun asked strangely.

"She is tired of it, so she sees it deeper than us and farther than us, ah..." Kenji Doihara sighed helplessly...)
