When the old man from Chongqing received the protest from the ministers of the eight countries, he indeed overturned the table again, but he could only break his teeth and swallow it, unable to express the pain.
Not only could they not complain, they had to send a congratulatory message to the 10th Theater Command for their recovery of Tianjin, and they had to hold a press conference to publicize it with great fanfare, trying to rub this layer of powder on the face of the Nationalist Government.
The Shanxi-Hebei Camp is just a brand. Yan Xishan in the Second War Zone neither obeys the orders of the Shanxi-Hebei Camp nor the Chongqing government. Only the Tenth War Zone is the real thing.
But the Tenth War Zone is completely out of control.
Uh...it seems that the Chongqing government has not been able to control the Tenth War Zone since that day.
The land area controlled by the Tenth War Zone is now comparable to that of the Chongqing government, and it has the qualifications to be on an equal footing with the Chongqing government.
Judging from the data, the Chongqing government's military strength is more than ten times that of the 10th War Zone, which has 1.5 million troops.
However, judging from the record, the strength comparison between the two sides is terrible.
The Chongqing government has been defeated repeatedly, and the land area under its actual control has been continuously eroded.
However, the Tenth War Zone has not lost a single victory. The troops have grown from nothing to the current number of more than 100,000, and the land area they occupy has increased exponentially.
I really don’t have the face to look at it.
At this time, Mr. Jingguo knocked on the door and entered the old man's office. He walked to the desk and then bent down and whispered in the old man's ear: "Father, Mr. Sato wants to see you."
Due to the state of war, China and Japan have expelled each other's ministers to each other, but they still maintain communication through certain channels. Mr. Sato is a doctor in name, but in fact he is performing the duties of Japan's minister.
"See you, see you." The old man has just dealt with the British and French ministers perfectly, and he is annoyed. He still wants to listen to the Japanese. I wonder if the two countries are at war. It is also necessary to take back your concession. If you have the fucking ability, just go and find it. Xie Baoqing BB goes.
Mr. Jingguo whispered: "Father, he is here to negotiate peace."
The old man raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Mr. Jingguo: "What are the conditions?"
"Unconditionally, the two countries will stop fighting."
Unconditionally?
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched slightly.
In the past century, China has never negotiated peace with foreign powers without ceding territory and paying compensation. This time the Japanese proposed a peace, but it turned out to be an unconditional peace.
If the two countries cease fighting, the Chongqing government will have a rare opportunity to recuperate and be free to rectify those unstable factors.
This condition is too tempting. What the old man urgently needs now is to no longer be squeezed by the Japanese and to take a breather. Xie Baoqing, Yan'an, Li Zongren, Sheng Shicai, Northwest Erma, Yan Xishan... all gave him too much A lot of pressure.
Xie Baoqing has already ranked first in the old man's ranking, surpassing Yan'an. I don't know if Xie Tian will feel uncomfortable with Rong Ju.
The old man turned his chair towards Mr. Jingguo, stared at Mr. Jingguo and asked, "What do you think?"
There was no need for Mr. Jingguo to cover up in front of the old man. He took a step back and leaned over and whispered to the old man: "Let the troops in front act openly and covertly, so that we can explain to our allies more easily. Let us first free up our hands to rectify the civil strife. , waiting for the American allies to defeat the Japanese.”
The old man stared at Mr. Jingguo and thought for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips and he praised: "You are mature. Please ask Mr. Sato to come to the Bamboo Garden in the evening. Don't be too early."
Alas, the old man now has to be secretive when meeting Japanese people, for fear of being seen, so why bother.
Ignoring him, Xie Tian, Pang Yuan and Chen Xiang gathered around the two dishes on the coffee table, eating, drinking, talking and laughing. Pang Yuan took a bite of the steamed bun, chewed it, looked at Xie Tian and said: "Baoqing, take Peiping." What are you going to do next?”
Xie Tian quickly took out his chopsticks and snatched a piece of meat from under the head of Pang Yuan's chopsticks. He chuckled and said, "It goes without saying that he must be grabbing meat."
Pang Yuan glared at Xie Tian speechlessly: "Seriously."
Xie Tian chuckled: "What I said is serious, I am only responsible for robbing meat. Take Peiping, march north, first deal with that old thing of King De, and then send troops out of Shanhaiguan to let the little devils taste the taste of Roujiamo. .”
In the northeast, the Japanese Kwantung Army is in a stalemate with the Soviet Far East Army. The two sides are fighting fiercely. If the People's Liberation Army comes out of Shanhaiguan again at this time, the Kwantung Army's little devils will really taste the taste of Roujiamo.
Being attacked from both sides is not a good thing.
Chen Xiang looked at the two of them and smiled: "From what you two said, it seems like Beiping already has it in his pocket."
Xie Tian laughed: "That's right. I'm just waiting for the Japs to support Peiping. The Japs in Zhangjiakou probably don't dare to move. The Japs in Chengde don't have enough troops to support Peiping. The only ones who can support Peiping now are the Kwantung Army or Troops are being mobilized from Japan, but if only one or two divisions come, it won’t be enough.”
Seeing Chen Xiang's confusion, Pang Yuan said with a smile: "This guy is an expert in fighting. We don't need to follow him and mess around, so as not to disrupt his rhythm."
Pang Yuan turned to Xie Tian and continued: "Baoqing, I have some friendship with King De. If I go to Mengzi, I might be able to persuade King De to surrender peacefully."
Xie Tian was startled and said hurriedly: "No, no, you can't go anywhere, let alone take a step outside the liberated area. Besides, I don't need him to surrender peacefully, like this, taking advantage of the country's weakness to use the power of the Japanese The traitor who wants autonomy, even if he surrenders to me, I will have to kill him with my own hands."
Pang Yuan smiled bitterly: "Why do I feel like I've been kidnapped by you?"
Xie Tian laughed: "I kidnapped you originally. What, is there a problem?"
Pang Yuan was stunned and laughed: "You fucking rascal."
Chen Xiang didn't know why, so he looked at Pang Yuan and asked, "How come Wen Zhi was kidnapped by Bao Qing?"
Pang Yuan laughed and said: "I had already retired to the mountains and forests, and was living as a corrupt scholar in An'an, Ping'an County, but this guy went to my house and kidnapped my wife and children."
Pang Yuan looked at Xie Tian and asked: "Hey, Xie Baoqing, let me ask you, what will happen to you if I don't go with you that day? Can you really harm my wife and children?"
Xie Tian ate the steamed buns nonchalantly and said, "That's impossible, but I will definitely not send my sister-in-law and our son back to you. I promise to raise my sister-in-law and our son to you until they are fat and white."
Pang Yuan smiled and said, "Just spend time with me."
Xie Tian smiled: "Brother Pang Pang, you are overthinking. I don't have so much time to waste time with you. If you don't leave with me that day, I will definitely burn down your houses..."
"I'll go." Pang Yuan's eyes widened and he stretched out his hand towards Chen Xiang: "Yi Zhi, lend me your gun so that I can avoid any future troubles."
