Chapter 886: Right of way negotiations begin!

Changchun Concession, a Japanese-style teahouse.

Showaki Koiwa Ishihara Kanir, dressed in casual clothes, booked a small private room, and it was rare to have a chance to come out to relax. Koiwa Ishihara Kanirir was in a good mood and suggested talking to Kanirir Ishihara!

Playing Go, this kind of entertainment activity passed down from China, is very popular with the Japanese, and it is very popular with the upper class aristocrats!

Playing chess can nourish the body and mind, and also improve intelligence. What is important is that a person's quality can be seen from the chess pieces.

Of course, if two chess baskets are together, it will be completely entertainment!

Ishihara Kanir is very conceited and naturally has a deep study in chess skills. Of course, he is not a professional chess player, and can only be regarded as a little master in his amateurs!

Koiki Aki's chess skills are average, but he plays well, at least he won't make a fool of himself. If he plays a chess, Ishihara Kanir will not choose Koiki Aki, but if he just has fun, he doesn't mind someone who can accompany him!

"Ishihara, the negotiation has begun, what do you think?" Koiki Akira Koi is actually not thinking about chess, but outside the chess!

"Old Master Koi, can you not talk about business while playing chess?" Ishihara smiled.

"Some words are unhappy if you keep them in your heart. I think Ishihara Jun is also very concerned about today's negotiations!" Koiki Akira said.

"Your Excellency Doihara is an excellent emperor. He knows the position of the empire better than us!" Ishihara Kaner knew that if he responded, he would not be able to play this chess.

"You said we suddenly mobilized our troops to make an attacking position. How would the Chinese people react?" Koiki Akira asked.

"If it was the former Northeast Army, they would protest, and then restrain their troops and try to avoid us. Avoid the possibility of fire!" Ishihara Kan's hand fell into his hands, "But for our current opponents, he may take measures to compete against each other!"

"Do you think the Chinese will take the initiative?" Koiki Akira asked in surprise, and the white boy in his hand stopped in the air.

"It is not necessarily true that they take the initiative, but they will definitely increase their alert level and even make actions similar to ours!" Ishihara said, "Only Koi, it is actually very unwise to stimulate the Chinese people at this time!"

"Why, they should need peace more than we do!" Koiki Akira asked in confusion.

"I have answered this question long ago. The current leader of the Chinese army is not the General Zhang. He is even more radical than that General Zhang. At the same time, he is a bold person. He doesn't like being threatened. He is more ambitious!" Ishihara smiled.

"What do you mean is that they will fight us?" Koiki Akira was slightly stunned for a moment and put down his chess piece.

"From my judgment, they will, I have studied every battle they fought. They basically achieved their expected goals, and their army has very high execution capabilities. In other words, their middle and high-level officers are very capable!" Ishihara smiled.

"But if the Chinese people don't put some pressure on them, they will gain a better position and will not negotiate with us at the negotiating table?" Koi Iso Kanosaki said.

"Actually, this is not needed. The Chinese must have a source of intelligence. As long as we maintain the current number of troops garrisons, the Chinese will not dare to act rashly. There is no need to make an offensive situation, as this will make the situation tense!" Ishihara said, he was just a senior senator and was not the policy maker. How to issue orders is still the matter of generals like Koi Iso Kōaki.

In fact, there is another thing Ishihara Kaner didn't say, "I used force to put pressure on the other party at the beginning of the negotiation. It was still the one who was defeated continuously, which undoubtedly exposed its timidity and guilt. The result is to hand over the initiative in the negotiation to the other party!

"Dongdong!"

"Come in!"

It was Koi Iso Kyosaki's adjutant, so he opened the door of the box and walked in.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Ishihara Takanosan, and Doihara's telegram sent from Harbin!" Matsuki Yuichi opened his briefcase, took out a telegram from it and handed it over.

"Let me see." Koiki Akira's result message, browsed a little, his face changed slightly, and he handed it to Ishihara and smiled, "Ishihara, do you look?"

"I won't look." Ishihara Kanir refused. Koiki Kan Aki did not force him, but handed him back to Matsuki Yuichi.

"The Chinese people reacted very fiercely, and even used this as an excuse to stop the negotiations!" Koiki Akira said slowly.

"As expected, the Chinese are now in the process of reason, and this negotiation was originally initiated by us, so they have every reason to refuse!" Ishihara smiled.

"What should we do now? The negotiations can be without a result, but they cannot be stopped. If we go home like this, it is probably difficult for us to explain to the base camp!" Koiki Akira said worriedly.

"Stop provocative actions and release enough goodwill. I hope the Chinese people will agree to continue negotiations. In addition, this matter needs to be helped by the Soviet Union. If there is no result in mediation, they will have no face." Ishihara smiled.

"Is this what we want to give in?" Koi Iso Kanakami looked puzzled. He was a little hesitant at first, but he also needed to appease the soldiers below who were asking for a fight.

If you take the initiative to give in, the people below really don’t know that they will do such a thing, which is difficult to control.

"This is my suggestion. If there is a better solution, it would be the best!" Ishihara Kanji said slowly.

Koiki Aki felt extremely embarrassed, his thoughts were not on the chessboard at all. A chess piece turned several times in the gap of his fingers, but it was difficult to fall. Ishihara Kaner also knew that this was a test of the decision-maker's courage. He didn't speak and waited quietly.

"Kun Ishihara, if we compromise on this, the outside world will think that our great Japanese empire is weak and can be bullied, and the negative impact will be greater at that time!" Koiki Akira said.

"If we don't take a step back, the negotiations will continue to be stalemate. We have losses, and the Chinese will also suffer losses, but for us, the losses will be even greater!" Ishihara Kanr analyzed, "The South Manchuria Railway is our lifeline in Manchuria. Now the Chinese army can threaten our lifeline at any time, and the Chinese can negotiate with the Soviet Union. As long as the issue of the right to roads of the Middle East Railway is solved, they will get huge benefits through the Soviet Union. But we are guarding the huge Manchuria, but we can get nothing!"

Koiki Aki nodded: "But the negotiations between the Chinese and the Soviets will not go so smoothly. The Soviets will not give up the strategic support point of the Far East, the Central and Eastern Railway."

"The Soviet Union's main force is currently concentrated in domestic industrial construction. Although the Middle East Railway brings him extremely high returns every year, its investment in the Far East is far insufficient. As long as the Chinese people give enough exchange of interests, I think the Soviet Union will give in!" Ishihara Kaner analyzed.

"Ishihara-kun means that the Soviets will return the right of the Middle East Railway to the Chinese people?" Koi Iso Kyoto was shocked!

"A while ago, wasn't there any news that the Soviet Union intends to transfer the Middle East Railway to the Empire?" Ishihara said, "This is a transformation of the Soviet Union and Manchuria strategy!"

"Okay, I will respond to the base camp, but the specific decision still needs to wait for the base camp to respond!" Koi Iso Kanosaki said.

"Your Excellency Koi, you can react to General Muto!" Ishihara said, "Your Excellency is gradually recovering from health, and his opinions will inevitably have a great impact on the decision of the base camp!"

"I understand, Ishihara!" Koiki Akira no longer had the mood to play chess, "I'm sorry for today's chess game!"

"It's okay, state affairs are the most important!" Ishihara Kaner expressed his understanding.

"Matsuki Jun, come back to the headquarters with me!" Koiki Aki greeted Matsuki Ok one by one, and then left the teahouse.

Tokyo soon received a telegram from Muto Nobuyoshi and Koiki Akira. After Army Minister Sadao Araki received the telegram, his staff immediately discussed it.

Then Prime Minister Saito Mi also learned the content of the telegram. Faced with the internal and external difficulties, Saito Mi didn't bother to accuse the army of incompetence. The empire's heavy troops stationed in Manchuria had already made the finances difficult.

The current garrisons in Manchuria are almost one-third of the domestic garrisons, and this third is the most elite army in Japan!

The empire also paid a huge casualty price of almost 50,000 soldiers for this, and the voices of domestic anti-war came out!

Both the Japanese cabinet and the royal family had great expectations for this peace talks, hoping that Manchuria could achieve peace so that the great Japanese Empire could use the resources obtained by Manchuria to transfusion blood for the domestic economy!

The purpose of the war is interests, which is an eternal theme. Now the Japanese Kwantung Army obviously does not have the ability to completely control Manchuria, so it must compromise, otherwise the losses will be greater!

Quarrels, abuse and compromise are also required, which takes a process and time. However, Harbin seems a little calmer!

Although the contact conversation on the first day was forced to interrupt due to huge differences in opinions between the two sides, it did not break down due to the interruption of negotiations.

Not only the three parties involved in the negotiations are concerned about this negotiation, but also more people, the consulates in Harbin in the United States, Germany, Britain, France and other countries, sent back the news of the interruption of the negotiations through radio waves as soon as possible!

Due to time difference and the efficiency of radio wave transmission, the responses of various countries will not have feedback after at least one or two days.

During this negotiation, China, Japan and the Soviet Union rejected requests from other countries to attend as observers. It can be said that only the three parties know the content of the negotiation and outsiders have no way to know it!

Therefore, there are naturally more rumors about the negotiations, and the military actions of the Eastern Anti-Japanese and Kwantung Army also cast a shadow on the eyes of those who were originally optimistic about this negotiation!

If the negotiation fails, it will definitely be a fight. This fight will make the losses difficult to estimate!

The negotiations between the East Anti-Japanese and Japanese Kwantung Army had a fierce disagreement on the first day and were temporarily interrupted, but another negotiation began quietly!

Dong Kang started secret consultations within the Middle East Railway Administration on regaining the rights and affiliated rights of the Middle East Railway!

Dong Kang sent many heavyweight personnel including Qin Shiyu, Lin Zhongdan, Zhang Tingge to participate in the negotiations!...)
