Lieutenant General Sakai Ichiro quickly took the document handed over by Zuo Quan and began to analyze it seriously... regardless of the beads of sweat that continued to appear on his forehead...
Time passed by, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua, and Chief of Staff Zuo Quan looked at Ichiro Sakai with smiles and words. [Very literary]. The beads of sweat on Lieutenant General Ichiro Sakai's forehead not only did not decrease, but increased.
A lot. More importantly, his hands, which were holding the document tightly, began to tremble slightly at some point.
Seeing Lieutenant General Sakai Ichiro's face as unpredictable as the weather, Liu Hua asked knowingly: "Lieutenant General Sakai, I don't know if your government is satisfied with the conditions we have proposed. I believe that with the Japanese government's
The current strong strength will definitely agree to our small conditions without hesitation...¨"
"Ah... Commander-in-Chief Liu is right. These conditions are absolutely a drop in the bucket for the strong financial resources of the Imperial Japanese Government...¨" However, at this point, Lieutenant General Sakai Ichiro seemed to suddenly realize something.
.With his mouth open and his face flushed...
Because he suddenly discovered that, unknowingly, in less than a few minutes of negotiation, he had already jumped into the other party's trap under the constant guidance of the opponent.
Because after reading the selection of conditions, I clearly knew that the conditions I had just seen were as big as a lion's mouth. If I agreed to these conditions, I would undoubtedly become the sinner of the entire empire.
Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Sakai Ichiro no longer cared about what he just said or his own face, and said bluntly: "Commander-in-Chief Liu, I think these conditions are too harsh. You see..."
"Is it harsh? The huge Japanese government can't even agree to these conditions? In this case, we will study it carefully..." Liu Hua asked pretending to be shocked.
After enduring the other party's ridicule, Lieutenant General Sakai Ichiro forced a smile and said.
"Commander-in-Chief Liu, let's start from the first point... In your conditions, you clearly require that all the Imperial Japanese Army in China must lay down their weapons. At the same time, all occupied cities and weapons and equipment...
After all the stored materials were delivered to you intact, you agreed to open a channel to allow our 600,000 elite imperial troops to safely withdraw from China..."
"If this is the case, Commander-in-Chief Liu, I can only say one thing to you, forgive me for obeying your order. As a soldier, unless you die on the battlefield, you will never hand over your weapons... What's more important is,
Such a condition is tantamount to asking the 600,000 imperial troops in China to surrender to the elite of your army... Therefore, I hope you will consider carefully and cancel this condition..."
Seeing the decisiveness in front of him, it seemed that Lieutenant General Sakai Ichiro in front of him would not give up until he canceled this condition. Very Literary After only a short period of reflection, Liu Hua thought of a countermeasure. Then, he refused very decisively.
road.
"In this case, I would like to ask Lieutenant General Sakai: If your army does not hand over its weapons, how can you guarantee that your army will not take any actions to disturb the people during the retreat? You know, the troops stationed in China
The 600,000 Japanese troops are all veterans of the battlefield. It is almost impossible for them to successfully withdraw from our country..."
For a moment, after hearing Liu Hua's rhetorical question, Sakai Ichiro immediately shut his mouth. Because he knew the virtue of his army, it was almost impossible for them to successfully withdraw from the battlefield.
Seeing Lieutenant General Sakai who was dragged speechless by him, Liu Hua continued: "Lieutenant General Sakai, there is no compromise. I have an idea that you can consider carefully. That is, in
Your army does not need to give up its weapons before retreating. However, all soldiers leaving the city must give up all ammunition in their hands... I believe that without ammunition, your troops will retreat honestly...¨"
"No..." In response to Liu Hua's question, Ichiro Sakai refused without even thinking about it. Because he knew that after the 600,000 troops withdrew from the Chinese battlefield, they would immediately be put into the Pacific battlefield. If not
Without ammunition, it is like a tiger without teeth. A tiger without teeth, no matter how powerful it is, cannot display its fighting power...
"Lieutenant General Sakai, then I have no other choice...¨" Liu Hua waved his hand helplessly and said.
For a moment, the entire conference room fell into silence following Liu Hua's rejection.
Lieutenant General Sakai stared at the document in his hand solemnly without saying a word. Finally, after a few minutes, Lieutenant General Sakai, who could not hold his breath, had to give up the dispute on the first condition and put his mind on
Liu Hua opened his mouth and put forward the second condition.
"Commander-in-Chief Liu, since the first condition cannot be discussed for the time being, let's talk about the second question first... Your government requires our country to compensate for all the economic losses your country has suffered in the decades of war, totaling three thousand
Billions of dollars... Is this request too much? Three hundred billion US dollars, I believe, is enough to cover your government’s current fiscal revenue for hundreds of years. I don’t know, this money, your government
How is hemp calculated..."
"It's very simple...¨" Liu Hua replied affirmatively.
"In the past few years of war, I believe that you, as the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army's southward dispatching force, have heard of the suffering your army has caused to our entire country and people. If nothing else, in these years of war
, the number of our country's soldiers who died or were injured at the hands of your army has reached more than three million. At the same time, the number of ordinary people who died in the war has also reached an astonishing number of more than 30 million... Lieutenant General Sakai, you...
Do you think that based on such huge casualties, our government only claims 300 billion U.S. dollars in compensation from your country? Is it excessive? You know, I haven’t counted the years in this 300 billion U.S. dollars of compensation.
During the war, your army was on our land of China and caused some indirect losses to our country." Liu Hua replied with reason.
Faced with Liu Hua's slightly sarcastic rhetorical question, even Lieutenant General Ichiro Sakai, who had experienced battles in the field, couldn't help but murmur. He held back a sentence for a full minute without saying it. Then, he sighed helplessly.
He took a breath and said:
"Commander Liu, I have to admit that you are a very good negotiator. In front of you, I have almost no chance of winning. However, since I am here, I must achieve certain results, otherwise, I will also
There is no shame in going back... In this case, let's discuss the next condition first..."
After listening to Lieutenant General Sakai Ichiro's words, a sneer flashed across Liu Hua's lips. However, as a negotiator, the first thing to do is to seize the opportunity of the entire negotiation at any time. So,
Before Lieutenant General Sakai Ichiro finished speaking, Liu Hua spoke very decisively.
"Lieutenant General Sakai, regarding the third condition, I can only distance myself from you. There is still no room for bargaining..."
"idiot…."
At this moment, faced with Liu Hua who had repeatedly frustrated him, Lieutenant General Sakai, who had always been aloof and had never been so offended as the Chief of Staff of the Expedition Force to the South, finally broke out and couldn't help but curse.
"Commander-in-Chief Liu, according to the Geneva Convention, the war between the two countries will not involve the ordinary people of the warring countries. As an ally, does China want to openly violate the Geneva Convention..." With dissatisfaction and anger in his heart, Lieutenant General Sakai Ichiro finally
I found a glimmer of vitality and asked loudly...
"The Geneva Convention... Lieutenant General Sakai, as an Allied Power, our country will of course abide by it... However, the Convention only includes ordinary civilians from the belligerent countries, and the foreign nationals from your country who entered our country are really just ordinary civilians... They
Is the property in their hands really earned with their own hands in China... Are their hands really not stained with the blood of Chinese people? As victims, these expatriates are only confiscated in China through various unfair methods.
All the property obtained through legitimate means is already very merciful. Does Lieutenant General Sakai think that this approach is too much for your country?" Liu Hua also showed no mercy and asked angrily...
·．
"Okay, since Commander-in-Chief Liu said this, I would like to ask Commander-in-Chief Liu to immediately release the young and middle-aged Japanese expatriates who were captured during the previous battles when our Imperial Japanese Army retreats, and let them return home."
··．Because their property has been confiscated by your army during the battle..." Lieutenant General Sakai Ichiro's face quickly flashed a sly look, and he asked loudly.
"Capture the young and middle-aged people among the overseas Chinese... When did we capture the Japanese overseas Chinese... Chief of Staff, have I ever given such an order... I seem to remember clearly that after all the battles, all areas controlled by our army
All the Japanese nationals inside were rounded up and returned to your army..." Liu Hua asked pretending to be shocked.
"The Commander-in-Chief is right, we did not capture any innocent young expatriates. Although, during the battle, our army captured many Japanese wearing civilian clothes. However, at that time, all of these Japanese were holding weapons...
I believe that on the battlefield, a young man holding a weapon is either his own possession or his enemy... Isn't it normal for us to capture the enemy... Lieutenant General Sakai, what do you think?
?" Zuo Quan said very cooperatively...
"You, you..." I saw two people in front of me who looked cunning and coordinated with each other.
Lieutenant General Sakai’s face turned red again...
Today, perhaps it is destined to be a sad day for General Sakai...
After several hours of negotiations, Ichiro Sakai, as the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army's Southward Expedition Force, never took any initiative in front of the cunning Liu Hua, and was always led by Liu Hua...
．
The final result of the negotiation was no surprise. Faced with Liu Hua's dozens of consecutive attacks, Ichiro Sakai tried his best to fight back... but in the end, everything ended in failure...
