Johnson, the American Embassy in China, arrived quickly.
Johnson was negotiating on behalf of the British government.
The bottom line set by the British government is to end this dispute with dignity.
Chairman Chiang and several of his main staff met with Johnson in the living room. After shaking hands with Chairman Chiang and several of his staff, Johnson said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, I have to admit that your diplomatic deception this time was very successful.
, not only did you deceive the British, but even our American government was deceived by you, you are the best."
After saying that, Johnson gave Chairman Chiang a thumbs up.
"This, this..." Chairman Jiang had a smile on his face, but he was crying in his heart. Mr. Johnson, this is really not a diplomatic deception. In fact, we were also kidnapped by the lone army camp. It's really embarrassing.
Jason also said that Chairman Chiang was being modest, which is something that Easterners are not good at. Although he was very proud of himself, he still had a calm look on his face. At that moment, Jason shrugged and said: "Okay.
Mr. Jiang, back to the topic, the British have decided to negotiate with you to solve the problem, and now you can make an offer."
"What's the price? What's the price?" Chairman Chiang was still a little unable to react.
Jason frowned and said unhappily: "Mr. Jiang, I have already said that your diplomatic deception was very successful. The British were completely deceived by you. This also directly led to the British Army's Royal Gurkha Infantry
The battalion has been wiped out by you. Now you have a more powerful bargaining chip in your hands. The British have also decided to compromise, so now you really don’t have to do Tai Chi anymore. I know that you Easterners are wise and don’t want to say anything directly, but
There is really no need to beat around the bush now, so please be frank with your offer, and I will tell the truth to the British government."
At this time, Chairman Chiang finally reacted, but after opening his mouth, Chairman Chiang did not say a word.
Chairman Chiang really wanted to tell Johnson: Since the British government is so easy to talk to, then we don’t care about ourselves. Let’s just forget about it. The captured Gor Royal Infantry Battalion and the citizens of Western countries will be taken care of immediately.
He was released unconditionally, and the only condition was to ensure the safety of the lonely camp.
The problem is that Chairman Chiang really can't say it, he doesn't dare to say it.
Because Chairman Chiang really doesn’t know what the solitary army camp means?
Chairman Chiang did not dare to casually make ideas and decisions for Gujunying, because he had already been slapped in the face by Gujunying once, and he did not want to be slapped in the face by Gujunying again.
Chairman Chiang opened his mouth, but not a single word came out.
Fortunately, Chen Cheng was worthy of being the junior chairman of the Generalissimo. He immediately guessed Chairman Chiang's thoughts from his expression, and he said in a hurry: "Commissioner, you see it's getting late. Ambassador Johnson is in such a hurry to come here. He must not be here."
Let’s have dinner, otherwise, let’s have dinner first, and we’ll talk about it after dinner.”
Chairman Chiang was relieved and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, eat, eat first."
Jason shrugged and said calmly: "Okay, let's eat first."
Taking advantage of the brief interval when Chen Chengsu invited Johnson to go to the restaurant, Chairman Chiang called the chief of guards Wang Shihe to the front and whispered: "Immediately ask Wang Tianmu to arrange a liaison team to go to Gujun Camp and let Gujun Camp set out the conditions for peace talks! In addition,
, warn Wang Tianmu not to cause trouble, just send a message to Gujunying."
After suffering a loss, Chairman Chiang finally recognized the reality and no longer ordered the Lone Army Battalion to do this or that, but learned to talk to the Lone Army Battalion on an equal footing. This is good.
(Dividing line)
At the same time, in Shanghai.
Xu Rui carried a bowl of noodles up to the second floor and entered the dormitory where Song Ziwen was detained.
Song Ziwen didn't put on airs or make a fuss. He probably realized that it was useless to argue with a group of big-headed soldiers, so he simply didn't waste his energy and energy. However, Song Ziwen had not been there for two days.
It was true that he had to eat because his gums were so irritated that he couldn't eat.
Xu Rui put the noodles in front of Song Ziwen and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, want to eat some?"
Song Ziwen pointed to his slightly swollen cheek, smiled bitterly and said, "My tooth hurts, I can't eat, and I don't want to eat."
"You can't do it without eating." Xu Rui said with a smile, "How about I ask the military doctor to come and check your teeth?"
"No, it's an old problem. My teeth hurt when I get angry." Song Ziwen waved his hand and said, "But it will get better after a while."
"It turns out you got angry." Xu Rui smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious?"
"Why am I anxious?" Song Ziwen said, "I am anxious for you. You are really ignorant and fearless. You really don't know the depth of power. You have caused a big disaster for the country and the nation. Do you understand?
" After shaking his head at this, Song Ziwen sighed and said, "Oh, forget it, it's too late to talk about this now, it's too late."
Xu Rui said in amusement: "Is it that serious? Isn't it just eating an infantry battalion of the British army?"
"Didn't you just eat an infantry battalion of the British Army?" Song Ziwen said with a chuckle, "What you said is really easy. Did you know that this battalion is the only infantry battalion of the British Army with a royal title? Did you know that this battalion is a member of the British royal family?
Face? Do you know what eating this camp means to Britain?"
"I know." Xu Rui said nonchalantly, "Of course we know that the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion is the only infantry battalion in the British army with a royal title. To eat this battalion would be a slap in the face of the British royal family, but that's it.
It is precisely because of this that we attacked the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion, otherwise we would not bother to fight them."
"Gah?" Song Ziwen said in shock, "You know how dare you fight?"
"Why don't you dare to fight?" Xu Rui said matter-of-factly, "If you want to force the British to submit, you have to show your strength to the British. Therefore, there is no better target than the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion.
You see, the British have suffered a loss and have realized how powerful we are. They will soon give in and come to negotiate with us."
"Britain submits? Negotiates?" Song Ziwen said with a sneer, "Idiots are just dreaming."
"Is it just a dream?" Xu Rui said with a smile, "Minister Song, how about we make a bet?"
"Bet? Are you still in the mood to bet?" Song Ziwen looked at Xu Rui with an idiot's eyes, lamenting in his heart, God, how stubborn must he be to be so stubborn?
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Minister Song, do you dare to bet?"
Song Ziwen was really in no mood to make a bet with Xu Rui. He shook his head and said, "Young man, enjoy your last moments. We will say goodbye to this world soon, and we don't know when it will be.
It’s only now that I can return to this world. It’s a pity, it’s really a pity, I still have a lot of things to accomplish.”
While he was talking, a guard knocked on the door and came in to report: "Commander, the guy who claimed to be Military Command Shanghai District Chief Wang Tianmu is here again, and he said he wanted to see you for something important."
"Wang Tianmu?" Song Ziwen's heart moved when he heard this. The military commander sent someone at this time, could things still turn around? This is good news.
But Xu Rui said: "No, let him go back to where he came from."
Song Ziwen said anxiously: "Hey, hey, it's okay to meet you."
Song Ziwen naturally hopes that there will be a turn for the better, because it means that he does not have to die.
An ant is greedy for life, not to mention that Song Ziwen is not only a high-ranking official, but also a rich man.
Xu Rui smiled and said: "That's okay. Since Minister Song has spoken, let's meet him and bring him up."
The guard agreed and took the order. Within a moment, he walked into the dormitory with a tall fat man. This fat man had a happy face. It would be difficult to find him in a crowd. However, this is espionage.
Suitable candidates for the job, such as an imposing man like Xu Rui or a charming woman like Jiang Nan, are actually not suitable for working on the espionage front.
This fat man was naturally Wang Tianmu, the head of the Military Command Shanghai District. As soon as Wang Tianmu came in, he said to Xu Rui: "Are you Battalion Commander Xie?"
"I'm not Battalion Commander Xie, I'm just a soldier in Gujun Camp." Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "However, I can probably still make the final decision on matters in Gujun Camp."
Wang Tianmu frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
Xu Rui said calmly: "It's better to tell you your purpose of coming directly, so as not to waste time. If I guess correctly, Chongqing must still be waiting for your reply."
Wang Tianmu's heart trembled, do you even know this?
Xu Rui smiled and said, "Don't use this expression. In fact, I even know your purpose of coming." After a slight pause, Xu Rui added, "The British government must have compromised and asked the U.S. government to come forward to mediate.
, and then the Chongqing government asked your military commander to come and check on our lonely military camp?"
Song Ziwen's eyes immediately showed hope, and he stared at Wang Tianmu for a moment.
Wang Tianmu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Now I believe that you can really be the leader of the lonely army camp." After a pause, Wang Tianmu said again, "Yes, I was ordered to find out what you are saying, so,
Please also tell me your conditions and what kind of results do you want?"
"What kind of result do we expect?" Xu Rui said heyly, "Tell Chongqing that the result we want to get is very simple, that is, all foreign troops stationed in Shanghai will immediately evacuate Shanghai, and the entire public concession and the French Concession will be handed over immediately and unconditionally.
Give us a lone military camp, and in addition, all foreign troops stationed in the country can leave, but the weapons and equipment must stay."
"What?" Wang Tianmu was immediately stunned when he heard this. Before he came here, Wang Tianmu had already expected that the lion's mouth in Gujun Camp would be so big. However, he still did not expect that the lion's mouth in Gujun Camp would be so big.
The military camp actually demanded that all foreign troops stationed in Shanghai be withdrawn and all weapons and equipment be left behind.
Song Ziwen was also stupid when he heard this. Grandma, could you be more arrogant?
