"Hi!" A man has a long donkey face, a broad forehead, protruding eyes, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a beard like sesame dots under his nose, plump lips, and a slender body with gray hair.
The man with long hair bowed to the emperor and said, "I think that we actually don't need to pay attention to Zhou Weiguo's troops. It would be best if we could sign an armistice agreement with him, which means that he will no longer interfere in the empire's war in China, and the empire will not
Attack his troops again."
"continue!"
"Hi." Hiranuma Kiichiro pushed his eyes and said, "If we look at Zhou Weiguo's achievements in detail, every time, the empire suffered heavy losses, and in North China, it was Eryi's coach, and this time, it also directly led to the loss of the empire.
His Excellency Fumimaro Konoe resigned."
"continue."
"But on the China battlefield, no other Chinese army could inflict such heavy losses on the empire like him. Once the agreement is signed, I think the empire will attack cities and seize territory without any hindrance on the China battlefield." Kiichiro Hiranuma said calmly,
"The main problem is how to sign an armistice agreement with this person. According to the information, this person is extremely patriotic and hates our Empire of Japan. He never takes prisoners under his command."
"Do you mean, Hiranuma-kun, that the empire should give up some of its benefits appropriately?" Emperor Showa frowned. In his view, the land now occupied by Japan belongs to them, and giving it away would be the same.
For cutting meat.
"Hey, for the greater good, you must give up some small profits."
"Yoshi, then let the cabinet formed by you, Mr. Hiranuma, get this done. I hope the sooner the better."
"Hi!"
Emperor Showa looked at Hiranuma Kiichiro, who was stumbling and walking out of the palace, and sighed. This year's Hiranuma Kiichiro is already over 70 years old. Konoe Fumimaro resigned, so he can only drag this veteran to serve as his subordinate.
However, he still recognized the suggestion put forward by this veteran. He no longer knew what method to use for Zhou Weiguo. A strong attack was no longer possible, so he could only be gentle. The previous gentleness was just words.
I talk about it, but this time, I have to put it into practice, "Hey, I hope it can succeed."
He deeply knows that the current domestic situation requires more resources to support this war, and domestic resources are no longer enough.
…
"Today, we have two issues. One is to sign an armistice agreement with Zhou Weiguo's headquarters. The other is to increase the development of the puppet Manchukuo and the current occupation of China's land resources." Kiichiro Hiranuma said to the person in front of him.
, many of these are his promoted staff and his think tanks.
"Hi! Your Excellency Prime Minister, regarding the first topic, I would like to know, does His Majesty the Emperor know about this?"
"certainly!"
"Then I have no objection and will carry out the order seriously."
"Um."
"I think the bottom line of the armistice agreement is the promise not to attack Zhou Weiguo's troops again, and Zhou Weiguo's troops will not interfere in other wars between the empire and China." A middle-aged man stood up and said.
Hiranuma Kiichiro nodded, "This is also the bottom line in my opinion."
"Hi!"
…
Zhou Weiguo naturally didn't know what the Japs wanted to talk to him about. Now, he was busy recruiting new soldiers to prepare to defend against the Japs' attack. According to the intelligence, Okamura Neji continued to apply to Central China for more troops to prepare to recapture Nanchang.
"Master's seat." Lin Mingrun stood in front of Zhou Weiguo.
"What's wrong? How's the recruitment going?" Zhou Weiguo asked. Now, it's been a few days since they were going to expand their troops, but the recruitment was really not going fast.
"It took four days to recruit more than 1,000 people." Lin Mingrun also frowned, "Some of the people here do not believe in our independent division, thinking that we are the same as other units of the national army."
"Hey." Zhou Weiguo sighed, "The national army also has heroes who are serious about resisting the Japanese. However, many times, when orders are given, they have no choice. Unlike us, we can ignore these orders."
"That's true." Lin Mingrun sighed, "It's just that our recruitment speed is too slow. We're afraid that the Japs are coming and we haven't finished recruiting yet."
"Then let's have a fight with the Japs and let the people here in Nanchang see that our independent division dares to fight the Japs with real swords and guns." Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "When the time comes, the people will naturally feel
There will be a steelyard."
"That's true." Lin Mingrun still frowned. For him, these were not big problems, but the speed of recruiting troops really worried him.
"Relax." Zhou Weiguo patted Lin Mingrun's shoulder and said helplessly.
"good."
On April 29, 1939, Japan sent a telegram to sign an armistice agreement with Zhou Weiguo's troops.
As soon as the telegram came out, it was tantamount to dropping a more explosive bomb on the world, which was even more exaggerated than the previous attempt by the Japanese Emperor to recruit Zhou Weiguo.

Zhou Jixian looked at the newspaper, frowned, and said, "The Japanese are playing tricks again? The armistice agreement, well, they can't come up with it."
"Master, doesn't this mean that the young master is powerful?" Uncle Fu said with a smile, "However, this agreement is really impossible to sign. It is a matter of people poking the spine. Master, you have to send a message to the young master.
.”
"Yeah." Zhou Jixian nodded. He is a businessman and a veteran of the Alliance. From a businessman's perspective, many things are matters of interest. However, from a national perspective, even this armistice agreement is beneficial to the country.
However, morally and mentally, he would not allow Zhou Weiguo to sign this agreement with the Japanese. By then, even if Zhou Weiguo had not done anything sorry to the people, he would not be able to wash away this matter even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Qing Dynasty. Take Li Hongzhang as an example, a pragmatic and patriotic minister, but because he signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, he was called a traitor and traitor by many people.
"Uncle Fu, go find Lao Zhao."
"Okay." Uncle Fu turned and left.
…

Lao Jiang held the telegram in his hand and was silent for a long time. The Japanese did not sign this agreement with his government, but signed this agreement with a lieutenant general and division commander under him. To him, it was ironic.
"Principal." Dai Li looked at Lao Jiang and said cautiously, "The Japanese are afraid that Wei Guo will continue to attack them on the front line, so they just want to prevent Wei Guo from participating in the war."
"I know." Lao Jiang replied, "It's just that this is a bit ironic for us."
"Yes, but in fact, Weiguo will not sign this agreement." Dai Li said.
"How do you know? What if the benefits given by the Japanese are large enough?" Lao Jiang asked, "You know, the enemy's goal is the entire China. And Weiguo also needs time to develop."
"But, I believe Weiguo won't sign it." Dai Li shook his head, "Because he is Zhou Weiguo, and just based on his name, he won't sign it."
