When Hikoichi was in a daze and sober, the entire alley was long gone. Although Tokyo has a large population, it is a kind of remote cul-de-sac that few people visit. Hikoichi's expression changed drastically, and he quickly walked out of the alley, and then ran towards the Prime Minister's Office.

The next day, the Prime Minister's Office issued an order to crack down on the underworld forces in Tokyo, among which the most powerful Black Dragon Society forces bore the brunt, and several important strongholds were cracked by the Japanese police, and many important personnel fell into the hands of the government. The Tokyo underworld forces used all their connections to find out what was going on.

In a remote house on the outskirts of Tokyo, eleven young people sat together with solemn expressions. Sitting at the top was the young man who warned Han Xiangling, "Leader!" What the hell is going on? Why did the Black Dragon Society be surrounded and suppressed by the government? Aren't they very well-connected in the government? A young man sitting at the bottom asked. Although these people are dressed as Japanese ronin, when they speak, they are extremely fluent in Chinese.

"It's not clear! Our people weren't caught. However, the power of the Black Dragon Society is probably finished in Tokyo. This time the Black Dragon Society can be regarded as a kick to the iron plate, I heard that it was Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma who personally demanded that the Tokyo Black Dragon Society be strictly investigated. It's useless for anyone to say it. ”

"And our mission?"

"Huh! The most powerful Black Dragon Society is gone, and it's just time for us to make a move, monkey, didn't you say that you found an interesting underworld force in Kobe? What is it called from the Yamaguchi-gumi. Let's get him here, and in the name of the Yamaguchi-gumi, we will snatch the underground market of the Tokyo vacuum. The leader said with a smile. These eleven people are none other than members of the Dark Thorn from the Northeast. It is an elite carefully selected from the dark thorns. Their existence was only known to Jing Tong and Feng Yong, the Assassin Commanders. The identity is also an ordinary Japanese ronin.

Now Japan's underground underworld is just like Jilin before last year, and it is a good time for all parties to rush to grab territory, and they will certainly not let go of this opportunity.

Beijing, under the operation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, the representatives of Japan and the Northeast again sat together.

Feng Delin's face was calm and couldn't see the expression, and Shi Yuewang's smiling fat face still had a harmless face. Only the Foreign Minister of the Republic of China, Lu Zhengxiang, flashed a touch of helplessness on his face from time to time.

"Mr. Kawashima, the proposal put forward at the last meeting has already undermined China's national sovereignty, and we cannot agree to it." Looking at the dull atmosphere of the conference room, Lu Zhengxiang had to speak.

"Mr. Lu! We were really reckless last time! This time, we revised the bill, and we hope that Mr. Lu will see it. Kawashima took out a contract with a smile, and this time he did not hand the contract to Feng Delin, who was sitting in the center, but directly handed it to Lu Zhengxiang.

Although Lu Zhengxiang didn't have any expression on his face, he was still very comfortable in his heart. After all, Kawashima's actions this time are obviously to attach importance to his performance. But when he finished reading Japan's new bill, there was no longer the slightest joy on his face, and he became extremely pale.

The first is to return the captured Japanese merchants and apologize to the Japanese merchants.

Article 2: Within 50 kilometers north of Port Arthur, the buffer zone between the two sides shall be used, and the squadron shall not be stationed.

Article 3: Compensation of 10 million taels of silver for Japan's military expenditure.

Fourth, extend the period of Japan's lease of Qingdao and Lushun. Tentatively set for one hundred years.

Article 5 China has the obligation to protect the security of Japanese enterprises invested in China. ”

Although there are only five bills, Lu Zhengxiang found one feature: in all the bills, there is no mention of the Northeast and the Northeast Security Army. It was as if the peace talks were between Japan and the governments of the Republic of China.

"Mr. Kawashima, are you mistaken! This war is a battle between you Japan and the Northeast Security Army, why is this bill aimed at the government of the Republic of China? Lu Zhengxiang's expression was ugly, and the first thought in his heart was that this bill was a conspiracy, a conspiracy by Japan to sow discord between the government of the Republic of China and the Northeast. However, no matter what the purpose of the Japanese is, this peace negotiation document must not be signed by themselves, and although they are not patriotic people, they do not want to be poked in the back and said that they have forgotten their ancestors.

"Mr. Lu! The Great Japanese Empire was a country, and how could it be entangled with a local power in China. Only the Chinese government was qualified to negotiate with the Japanese Empire. Kawashima said as a matter of course.

Feng Delin and Shi Yuewang on the opposite side showed suspicious looks on their faces. Feng Delin even extended his hand directly to Lu Zhengxiang. Lu Zhengxiang hurriedly handed over Japan's proposal to Feng Delin. It's like it's a hot potato. The joy of being the first to receive the motion is gone.

Feng Delin looked at Japan's new bill. There were no conditions for the cession of land, but the military compensation still existed, but the original compensation of 30 million taels of silver was changed to 10 million taels. The compromise of the Japanese can also be seen in this. Feng Delin kept thinking about what the Japanese meant by this, and why they directly crossed the northeast and began to attack the government of the Republic of China.

Shi Yuewang took the contract handed over by Feng Delin, frowned, and then leaned into Feng Delin's ear and whispered: "Handsome, the Japanese have been made unable to step down by us." Instead, it targeted the weak government of the Republic of China. What should we do in the Northeast? ”

Feng Delin thought for a while and whispered: "No, we can't stay out of the matter, after all, we are still members of the Republic of China delegation, and we must not let the Republic of China government be bullied by Japan." At least not when we're delegates! ”

Shi Fatzi nodded, straightened his body, and said to the Japanese: "Mr. Kawashima, since the beginning of the negotiations, it is all you Japan who have put forward conditions. Both sides are at fault in this fight. Why should we only accept Japan's conditions on our Chinese side? This is a proposal drawn up by China, and I would like to invite you to take a look at it from the Japanese envoys. As he spoke, Fat Shi took out a bill from the document bag behind him. This is a peace talk bill jointly drafted by Feng Delin and Shi Fatzi in the past few days of rest, and in Shi Yuewang's document package, there is not one bill, but several, each showing different attitudes.

First, Japan formally apologized for the sneak attack on the Chinese garrison.

Article 2: The Chinese Government will expel Japanese illegal mining traders from China.

Article 3 is the return of Port Arthur, a Chinese territory occupied by Japan. The Japanese fleet had to withdraw from Chinese waters.

Fourth, Japan compensated the squadron for its war losses of 30 million taels of silver.

Article 5: Japanese enterprises in China must follow the business plan of the Republic of China government, and illegal acts will be expelled by the government.

It is the same five, but the five proposed by China are even more difficult for the Japanese to accept. You must know that they are a great power, how can they spit out the fat they have eaten, not to mention that Japan now has an absolute upper hand in terms of comprehensive national strength compared with the Republic of China. Of course, we can't do such a thing as reparations, which is a loss of national integrity.

"Yaga! Mr. Lu, does this bill represent the attitude of your Chinese government? Kawashima stood up angrily and yelled directly at Lu Zhengxiang.

Lu Zhengxiang was stunned and couldn't go back. Because he didn't know the content of the motion thrown by Feng Delin at all.

"Mr. Kawashima, please pay attention to your attitude, the two sides are in peace talks, and it is not just you Japan who can put forward conditions, and we in China can only passively accept your conditions." Shi Fatzi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Yaga! Your conscience is so bad that the Empire of Japan has revised the bill to show the sincerity of the Empire of Japan! Yamaguchi Erbi also stood up and said.

Lu Zhengxiang sat there a little dazed. He had no way of knowing what conditions Shi Fatzi proposed. But judging by the angry look of the Japanese envoy, it must have been an unacceptable condition for the Japanese. Is this Northeast really crazy, and it has frequently touched the sensitive nerves of the Japanese.

Kawashima Sulang squinted at Lu Zhengxiang, whose face was not very good, and his face suddenly became even more hideous.

"Mr. Lu, the Great Japanese Empire came with sincerity. I hope that the government will think carefully, and if it is really difficult to accept, then the two countries can only fight each other on the battlefield! With that, Kawashima got up directly and left with the Japanese envoy. As if to take revenge for the last time Feng Delin left first.

"Let's go!" Feng Delin stood up indifferently and left with Shi Yuewang, never looking at the two peace talks on the table again, nor did he look at Lu Zhengxiang, who was a little frightened.

After half a sound, Lu Zhengxiang jumped up from the chair, grabbed the two bills on the table, and rushed out of the peace room quickly.

After thinking about it for so long, Lu Zhengxiang finally came back to his senses that Japan had shifted its target from the Northeast to the government of the Republic of China. If this kind of thing is not handled well, it will trigger a full-scale war between the Republic of China and Japan. The army of the Republic of China government may not be able to withstand the Japanese army.

Presidential palace. Li Yuanhong looked at the two peace talks in front of him in shock and anger.

"The damned Japanese, it seems, seeing that they can't benefit from Tohoku, have targeted President Honda. Could it be that President Ben is really so easy to bully? Li Yuanhong threw the telegram in his hand to the ground. Wu Tingfang and Lu Zhengxiang next to him didn't dare to take a breath. for fear of angering Li Yuanhong and becoming a punching bag.

"Zhengxiang, you will describe the specific situation of the negotiation to the president." Li Yuanhong had a calm face, and he wanted to judge the intentions of the Japanese from the attitude of the Japanese envoy.

"Yes!" Lu Zhengxiang respectfully told Li Yuanhong exactly what happened in the negotiation room, and even did not let go of the change in the attitudes of both sides. Lu Zhengxiang can sit as the foreign minister of the Republic of China, and in some respects he can be regarded as having two brushes.

"Whew! Damn little Japan! Sure enough, I really paid attention to what a head mountain. Li Yuanhong said angrily. Judging from his many years of experience in the ups and downs of officialdom, it is not very difficult to judge the attitude of the Japanese government.

"President, do we need to be as tough as the Northeast?" To be honest, Lu Zhengxiang was very envious of Shi Yuewang's arrogant and domineering appearance at the negotiation table. Shi Yuewang was arrogant because he had behind him a powerful army of 200,000 that even the Japanese were afraid of. He Lu Zhengxiang, although he is the most powerful president behind him, does not have military power in his hands, and he is not sure that he can mobilize the Beiyang Army to obey his orders. The president is weak, which makes the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China even more tough.

"Tough? No way! Zhengxiang, you are the foreign minister of the Republic of China, not a stunned foreign minister like the Northeast. The Northeast is just a newly established local power, and without understanding the current situation of the Republic of China, being tough will only bring peace talks to a stalemate. We must be clear that at the present stage, Japan's strength is still in absolute upper hand, and the gap between the two sides cannot be changed by winning a battle. Therefore, this peace talks must be successful. Since the Japanese have set their sights on us, I am afraid that the Northeast delegation will be mixed in, which will only make the entire peace talks more passive. You readjust. Delegates from the Northeast will be transferred out of the peace talks. Replace it with our own people. Then, with the Japanese bill as the starting point for negotiations. Strive to remove the reparation, and it will not hurt if the other conditions are agreed. ”

Li Yuanhong set the tone of the negotiations, and Lu Zhengxiang did not dare to refute it, only hoping that the contract finally signed would not make him saddled with the infamy of a traitor.

The revised motion of the Japanese deputies did not circulate, but the motion put forward by the Northeast did not know who poked it out, and for a time, the Northeast once again became the focus of domestic attention. The prestige of Northeast Feng Dashuai is even louder.

When the forces of all parties saw the proposal proposed by the Northeast, they shook their heads one after another. Let the Japanese return Lushun and pay reparations, this is not a fool's dream. Little Japan frequently provokes China, not in the hope of gaining benefits from China. Not to mention the Battle of the Northeast, China did not win, and even if it did, the weak navy of the Republic of China would not be able to pose a threat to the Japanese mainland. After all, Japan's No. 1 navy in Asia is not said to have been blown out, but actually fought.

At the headquarters of the Kuomintang, Sun Wen and Huang Xing looked at the newspaper in their hands with each other.

"Prime Minister, is the Northeast crazy to provoke the Japanese so much, are they really not afraid of a full-scale war with the Japanese?" Huang Xing never understood why the Northeast was so tough.

Sun Wen shook his head. The toughness of the Northeast is indeed incomprehensible, as if they can protect themselves even if there is a full-scale war. But no matter how much Sun Wen used the power of the Kuomintang, he could not uncover the reason for the toughness in the Northeast.

"Let's wait and see what happens!" The last time Sun Wen made a comment, he wanted to be able to promote Sino-Japanese peace talks, but who knew that he would be used by people with intentions, and the prestige he had accumulated over the years would be dealt a heavy blow. Now Sun Wen is also a lot more careful, for fear of being used again. Now that the Tohoku bill has leaked out, it is impossible to know what the Japanese bill is. Sun Wensheng was afraid that this was another bait.

Beijing, the third negotiation, the unrivaled Northeast representative was replaced by the Republic of China government. All the Chinese representatives were replaced by officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, and the Republic of China began to negotiate on the proposal proposed by the Japanese. When the Governor of Northeast China, Feng Delin, learned about this, he was extremely angry and led the Northeast delegation back to Northeast China on the same day. to express his protest against the weakness of the Republic of China government towards Japan.
