Nie Li did not answer Zhang Long's question, but looked at Zhang Long with a smile.
"Long, you've been a little wandering lately."
Zhang Long was shocked.
"Brother, why did you say this?"
Nie Li looked at Zhang Long and several people who came to greet him: "Why do you say that? You said you want to win a city? How come I heard that several other cities have been frightened to death? You just haven't yet How about accepting someone else’s surrender?”
"Tell me, are you drifting?"
Zhang Long smiled bitterly.
Silently not daring to raise his head.
It's too difficult for me. Didn't I just give my eldest brother a place to show off?
Otherwise it would have been taken long ago.
But how can I explain it at this time?
Nie Li looked at the people around him and asked calmly: "Why don't you say a word?"
Who the hell dares to speak?
Nie Li didn't go into details and just said something softly.
Then he kept silent. "What's the situation now? Tell me!"
Only then did Zhang Long regain his energy and said hurriedly: "That's what happened, brother, now we have been able to radiate from Honshu Island to the Osaka city circle. Now apart from Osaka, which is still considering whether to surrender, it is Kyoto that is in trouble."
"Kyoto is the hometown of the Western Army. They have a bit of a tough temper. I sent people to contact them a few times, but the effect was not very good. I am waiting for my big brother to make a decision."
Nie Li thought for a while: "Don't worry about Kyoto. Osaka must be taken first. Osaka's position is very important!"
"What is the current attitude of Osaka's defenders?"
Kyoto is not Tokyo.
These are two places. Tokyo is the capital, and Kyoto is an inland city and an important city in the Osaka metropolitan area, one of the three major metropolitan areas.
Tokyo is the Kanto region, and Kyoto is the western region, which is Kansai.
Zhang Long smiled when he heard this.
"The people in Osaka Prefecture are quite interesting. The people I have sent many times, they treat each other with courtesy, and even offer their characteristics, a ladder banquet. Their attitude is not to offend or surrender."
"It's just one word, trust!"
"But I see that their confidence in resisting tenaciously is not strong, so I am also focusing on conquering them these days."
War, can we not fight it or not?
How can anyone not die in a war?
It is best if you can accept it peacefully.
Zhang Long knew this very well.
Nie Li was not surprised when he heard this. Osaka is a magical place, at least in this land, it is a magical existence.
There is a strong commercial atmosphere here. If you drop a brick, you can even kill three fish sellers and five shrimp sellers.
All are qualified traders.
This kind of person is usually good at creating atmosphere and economics.
But during the war, it wasn't so beautiful.
These people are active in thinking and generally do not fight to the end for illusory things. On the contrary, they value interests.
In Nie Lilai's time, there was even the miraculous Osaka Legion. Seeing the enemy fleeing, they simply did not pursue them and just buried the pot to make rice.
When everyone was gone, they went up to clean up the battlefield.
Then he dared to ask for credit from the military department.
It's such a magical existence.
In the end, there was no other way. The boss saw that they were not feeling well, so he directly asked them to work on logistics. Who knows how successful they were.
When they were finally defeated, each of them surrendered on the spot without any resistance. The only requirement was that they take the specialties they had made with them.
One by one, they happily returned home with local products and made a lot of money.
"Give Osaka an ultimatum, three days, I want to see their sincerity, otherwise I will attack the city directly!"
Zhang Long asked: "Shouldn't we show sincerity first to win them over?"
Nie Li chuckled.
"Young people, guns and cannons and battleships mean sincerity! Tell them that if they want them to still be able to do business and be human beings after we enter the city, they have to show their chips. Otherwise, when we enter, they won't be able to do anything. That’s the attitude.”
Now this is called reforming one's evil ways and surrendering oneself, and one can be treated leniently.
However, if you really fight to the end, the result will not be so easy to say.
Zhang Long recorded it and continued talking to the head of Osaka Prefecture.
When the telegram came to Osaka Prefecture.
The top and bottom of Osaka Prefecture appear here very neatly.
Listening to what the Palace Master said about Nie Li.
Everyone was a little stunned.
"Are you such a bully?"
Someone couldn't help but say.
But then I think about it, that’s right, people are just bullying you.
The palace master was silent for a moment, and then asked: "What do you think? Should we fight or surrender?"
"If we want to fight, Tokyo can no longer send more troops. I heard that 15-year-old boys are now being recruited for military recruitment. Even in terms of arms, they have given priority to Kyoto."
"We can only rely on the strength we have now to fight!"
The Palace Master's words made everyone think.
They are all a group of opportunists who have great righteousness for their family and country, but they can only be placed in the second place.
"Tokyo doesn't send troops? Then don't we have to use Osaka's children to fight against the enemy? Isn't that nonsense?"
A man who looked like an army officer stood up.
This is a division commander.
Three native divisions were garrisoned in Osaka.
The total number of the chaotic armed forces is more than 50,000, but they know their own business.
"Are we relying on our soldiers to defend the city? What's the difference between this and giving away?"
The rest of the people also nodded for a while.
yes.
The soldiers of the three divisions in Osaka are called three divisions, but each of them is doing better in their side jobs.
Now if you shout casually on the streets of Osaka, you will definitely find several soldiers from the Osaka Division.
It’s not that Tokyo doesn’t know about this situation. Since it knows and still does this, does that mean that Osaka has actually been abandoned?
"Send it away, but that's not the case. I think the emperor is thinking, let us serve as a stepping stone for Kyoto. Hmm, are we Osaka the stepmothers?"
"Master, you make the decision. We support whatever decision you make! Only under your leadership can Osaka develop better."
The palace master's eyes were deep-set, and when he looked at these arrogant people, he was trying to push himself out to be the sinner.
So, he had no choice but to say calmly: "We have to think carefully about surrendering. Once Nie Jun's men repent, we will have no leverage at all!"
Everyone was silent for a while. .
Everyone’s family wealth is here.
This is their lifeblood.
"I don't think Nie Li will go back on his word, right? I've heard that the people on Shikoku Island, as long as they don't resist, are better off than before. Some people even go to the primary school run by Nie Li, even though they have to raise the flag and salute every day. East, but life has not been affected!"
After this person finished speaking, everyone fell silent again.
I'm confused, should I invest or not?
The palace master took one look and knew that everyone had no intention of fighting.
He had no choice but to say: "You can surrender if you want, but now they don't accept our surrender. They need our sincerity first before they will accept it. So what price do you think we can pay to keep our current life?"
