Chapter 459: Chips
Port of Tokyo, Japan.
Sun Wen and the others stood in the harbor, and beside them was a group of Japanese officers. At the head of the list was Ichiro Motono, the foreign minister of the Japanese army. It can also be seen from here that the Japanese army attached great importance to this operation.
"Sun Jun, I am going to Beijing this time with the hope of peace, hoping that Sun Jun can assist the Japanese Empire to achieve peace in the Far East." Ichiro Motono said with a face full of Xun.
Mr. Honno was polite. This time, it is Sun's bounden duty to accept Qin and Jin's goodness for the Northeast and Japan. Hopefully, we can work together to return a peaceful sky to the Far East. Sun Wen said with a smile. Although the two sides said calmly, only God knows whether there is such peace in their hearts.
Sun Wen and Ichiro Motono said a few polite words and didn't speak, after all, there was nothing to talk about as two people. Sun Wen is a coordinating ambassador, not a negotiator. Acting as a third party between China and Japan. Otherwise, Ichiro Honno would definitely not be polite to Sun Wen. A Japanese warship slowly approached the shore. This is the flagship of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Combined Fleet, the Kongo-class battleship Kirishima.
"Mr. Sun, please!" Ichiro Motono looked at the huge hull of the Kongo-class battleship and said proudly. They are indeed proud. It may not be true to say that the Japanese Army is the first in Asia, but the Japanese Navy is the first in Asia.
Sun Wen nodded dullly, his eyes unconsciously looking at an old ironclad ship not far from the King Kong-class battleship. The two huge words Zhenyuan on the above made Sun Wen feel a heartache. It was in the First Sino-Japanese War, the main battleship of the Chinese Navy captured by Japan, the Zhenyuan ship. After more than ten years of development, the ironclad ships of Asia's giants have fallen behind. Moreover, this ship has long been decommissioned from the coast of Japan, and I heard that it was sold, and I don't know where the Japanese army got it back. It was even temporarily assigned to the Second Fleet and sailed to China, and its purpose was really interesting.
Kirishima.
"Wang Shi, has the young marshal been in touch with you?" Sun Wen asked with concern.
"I've already spoken to the young marshal. The major marshal agreed to set the venue for the negotiations in Beijing. It will be handled by Dashuai and Dean Li Jun. Wang Shi said.
"Feng Dashuai and Dean Li Jun? Didn't Young Marshal Feng come in person? Sun Wen asked in surprise.
"This is not clear, no one knows about the actions of the young marshal. And now the war in the Northeast is still going on. By the way, the young marshal has instructions, and he asked me to tell you that the 10th Division of the Japanese Army has been besieged by our regiment in the isolated city of Wafangdian. Yesterday, after a day of offensive and defensive battles, our Northeast Army smashed the Japanese army's attempt to break through. Now our Northeast Army army can eat it at any time. Wang Shi said proudly.
"What? Siege of the 10th Division? Sun Wen felt that it was so unbelievable.
"This is the information of the young marshal, and the Japanese army must have also received the news, otherwise they would not be so eager to negotiate with our northeast." Wang Shi looked at the vast sea and said.
"That's it! Ha ha! It seems that we have a good chance of gaining the upper hand in this negotiation! "A division has become the hole card of the Northeast Army, no matter how strong and domineering the Japanese army is. Think about it for those soldiers, too.
"Also, the remnants of the 1st Division that broke out of the Japanese army were also besieged by our Northeast Army Corps and besieged in the mountains and forests of Changbai Mountain as savages! If the Japanese can't come up with a bargaining chip at the negotiating table that satisfies our Tohoku, then these people will give the Siberian tiger dinner! Wang Shi said with a smile. Feng Yong asked Wang Shi to tell Sun Wen these military secrets, hoping to strengthen his conviction and be more confident when he came into contact with Japan. Although Feng Yong and Sun Wen did not have much contact, Feng Yong knew that Sun Wen was more like a perceptual revolutionary than a political strongman, and his revolutionary compromise character was something Feng Yong was extremely unaccustomed to. If Sun Wen, the liaison, had been soft, it would inevitably have created a feeling for the Japanese army that China was not the same. Therefore, Leak gives him some hole cards so that he can speak with his backbone upright. After all, on the battlefield, the Northeast Army has always had the upper hand.
"Hey! Look at the exhaustive Feng Shaoshuai, I have a feeling of getting old! Sun Wen let out a long sigh of relief, and there was a hint of relief in his words. Wang Shi told him these things today, which really made his thinking change to a certain extent, after all, the situation of China is much better than he imagined. And Feng Yong's indomitable courage also had an impact on him, and Sun Wen gave birth to the idea for the first time that even if this negotiation did not succeed, China could still win.
"No matter how strong Japan is, under the leadership of the young marshal, it will be us who will win." Wang Shi said confidently. The Northeast, a force full of vitality, gives insiders full confidence, which is why the Northeast is developing so rapidly. A force full of vitality, it is easy for members to return to their hearts, and then go all out to participate and work hard. The huge Northeast will not be able to develop only by virtue of Feng Yong's wisdom, but also needs the efforts of thousands of people.
"Mr. Sun, is that our Chinese Zhenyuan ship?" Wang Shi asked as he looked at the old ironclad ship that followed the fleet at the end of the fleet.
"Not bad! I had heard that the Zhenyuan had been decommissioned from the Japanese army and had been resold to private individuals. I didn't expect to see it today. Sun Wen's words were full of grief. The ironclad ship that was the first in Asia at that time has been reduced to this situation. Its bleak evening scene seems to tell the incompetence and shame of China.
"What did the Japanese army do when they turned him over and brought him to Beijing?" Wang Shi said with an ugly expression.
"I don't know, maybe the Japanese will use it as a bargaining chip! After all, the symbolic meaning of the current Zhenyuan ship is greater than the actual role. "The current Zhenyuan ship is far behind.
"We must come back with dignity, the Japanese are going to take the opportunity to humiliate us!" Wang Shi only clenched his fists. The biggest characteristic of young people is their enthusiasm, and they dare to throw their heads and spill their blood for the sake of the country and the nation. Looking at the indignant Wang Shi, Sun Wen seemed to understand something. He Sun Wen is known as a revolutionary and a well-known patriot, but when he saw this Zhenyuan ship that represented the shame of China, Sun Wen was only uncomfortable in his heart, and he was far from thinking about bringing this bleak battleship back to China and washing away the shame of the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War.
"It seems that the dust of the years has worn out the blood in my heart." Sun Wen looked at the Zhenyuan ship that was struggling to follow behind, and his eyes couldn't help but get hot.
Northeast Marshal's Mansion.
After Feng Yong received Wang Shi's telegram, he looked overjoyed, he knew that the Japanese had been beaten, and the next battlefield was no longer the focus, it was time to compete at the negotiation table.
"Send electricity to Beijing, and let my father and Dean Li Jun take full responsibility for this negotiation. My request is simple, all the territories in China occupied by the Japanese are the focus of our negotiations. Feng Yong said in a deep voice. He knew that with the current Northeast Army, it was impossible to recover all the lost territory. At the very least, Taiwan is completely impossible. Feng Yong's mind is not on Taiwan, his goal is to win the worst of the two places of Lushun and Qingdao. As for Taiwan, the Penghu archipelago. It was just a sky-high asking price, waiting for the Japanese army to land and pay back.
"Young marshal, will the Japanese agree? Besides, even if we want Taiwan back, we won't be able to land without a navy! Li Yang asked puzzled.
"Negotiation, negotiation, at that time, there were talks, and some judgments were called negotiations. We don't want a high price, will the Japanese talk to us? That's right. In the telegram, there was an additional clause that the Ryukyu Islands and Korea were both subject countries of China since ancient times, and that the Japanese troops should withdraw from these two places and restore the royal families of the two countries. Feng Yong said with a smile. The lion opens his mouth wide and who won't. Anyway, on the battlefield, the Northeast Army is in absolute advantage. The Japanese army also had a division that was trapped and became the turtle in the urn of the Northeast Army. As long as the Japanese army still estimates these soldiers, the Northeast Army will be invincible at the negotiating table.
"Young marshal, the third lady asks to see!"
"Hui Ji? How did she get here? Let her in! Feng Yong was surprised, in his office, Feng Yong's women rarely came. After all, there is still a saying that women do not interfere in politics for women in this era. Although Feng Yong is from later generations, he still has some machismo in his bones. He can let his women do the work he likes, and he will help them become bigger, but he will not let women affect his decision-making, after all, he now has almost the whole of China on his shoulders. Feng Yong, who shoulders the fate of China, is also much more cautious.
After a while, Tuoba Huiji, who was dressed in a Western-style dress and looked extremely capable, walked into Feng Yong's living room.
"Hui Ji, what's wrong? How did you come here at this time? "Now that the war is not tense, Feng Yong will go back to the backyard to eat every night. Although each of Feng Yong's wives has their own courtyard, if Feng Yong is not there, they all eat alone. But as long as Feng Yong goes back to the backyard to eat, these women will be together. This is the rule set by Feng Yong, after all, a family is only a family when they are together. As the center of power in the Northeast, especially Feng Yong's backyard, it should have been the place where the power struggle was most intense. But Feng Yong has been trying his best to avoid the emergence of backyard infighting. He is not the father-in-law Zhang Zuolin, who militarizes the management of several ladies in the backyard. He wants his woman to live happily, just live happily. Feng Yong, who didn't even find a girlfriend in his previous life, as long as he didn't involve issues of principle in this life, Feng Yong still doted on his own women.
"Young marshal, I came here this time for two things, one is a good thing and one is a bad thing, which one do you want to hear?" Tuoba Huiji said with a wink.
"Let's listen first!" Although he didn't know what Tuoba Huiji was doing, Feng Yong decided to listen first.
"The good news is that you're going to be a father again!" There was a hint of resentment in Tuoba Huiji's eyes.
Feng Yong's face was happy, but his mind was still clear and asked, "What about the bad news?" ”
"It's a pity that that person is not me!" Tuoba Huiji pouted. If people see the goddess of commerce who is famous all over the country showing this little daughter's demeanor, it will not surprise people to death.
