By dusk in the afternoon, Brigadier General Tian somewhat understood the source of Mr. Krupp's confidence in China.
Regardless of whether the Chinese side is not strong enough at this time, the momentum is definitely overwhelming. Even a general like him who is accustomed to big scenes has rarely encountered such tough soldiers.
Have you ever seen a negotiation model where even if you want to stab the other party to death, you still use a few false polite words in vain?
Have you ever seen a member of the other party's negotiation team immediately point at the opponent's nose and laugh loudly at the person who revealed the shortcomings?
Have you ever seen someone go shirtless and start a fight without even giving them a chance to bargain?
Oh! No, to use a Chinese idiom, it’s called going into battle shirtless, but it’s the kind of going into battle yourself without using your hands on others.
In this small mountain town in China, both Japanese and Westerners have seen it.
Especially when I saw the tall Chinese colonel sitting down on a makeshift negotiation table made of several hard wooden boards, waving his fingers with disdain and shouting at all the members of the Japanese negotiating team: "You little devils, let's get together!"
Yes, I am right here. If you can force me to step back, I will give away 1,000 of your Japanese corpses for free. Really, if those nasty things are buried in the soil, the crops will be reduced!"
Brigadier General Tian turned his head to look at the livid Japanese Army Lieutenant General. He wanted to know what kind of reaction the Chief of Staff of the Japanese Imperial North China Front would have.
From a soldier's point of view, if someone points your nose and scolds you like this, you have to stand up and fight! Even if you don't go into battle yourself, are those majors and lieutenants doing it for you?
Unfortunately, the facts shocked the Roman Empire brigadier general. The Japanese actually tolerated this.
Of course the Roman Empire Brigadier did not know that the reason why Lieutenant General Okabe Saburo and his subordinates endured it was not because there were at least hundreds of Chinese troops outside the field surrounding the place, but because of the arrogant army colonel.
He really has the ability to be arrogant.
That was Tang Dao, whom Fujiwara Senzuo himself had not killed even in an assassination attempt. Although he had not seen his ability with his own eyes, judging from the number of Japanese he had killed, the Japanese officers present, large and small, also knew that most of them dared to challenge him.
It is self-inflicted humiliation.
What's more, this is not the first time a certain army colonel has pointed his nose in provocation.
Because this is just a step after the Japanese negotiating team arrives at the negotiating table immediately after arriving at the outskirts of Linfen.
This Colonel Tang gave the Japanese and the two Western bigwigs present a slap in the face as soon as they met.
an hour ago.
When the huge convoy arrived a few kilometers away from Linfen City, someone from the Chinese side informed them that the negotiation location would be changed to a small village.
“Chinese people only have this much magnanimity!”
Saburo Okabe, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to investigate Linfen City Defense, could only complain helplessly.
But the Japanese Army Lieutenant General may not have expected that he would encounter a lackluster deputy leader of the Chinese negotiating team.
The convoy stopped on the road a few miles away from the small mountain village.
The Chinese greeting staff was already standing 20 meters away from the motorcade waiting for them.
In addition to the more than forty Chinese soldiers standing in a row holding submachine guns and rifles, at the front stood a handsome young officer wearing a Chinese dark blue military uniform, with the rank of colonel on his collar badge.
This made Saburo Okabe a little satisfied at first. After all, the people who came to greet him were colonels, so the person who was about to negotiate with him must be at least a major general!
The Chinese are quite polite and don't give in to others as soon as they come up. It seems that this negotiation is not as difficult as imagined, and the possibility of success is very high. If Fujiwara Senzuo can be brought back, he will at least
There is no need to look at that old guy's face at the front army headquarters anymore.
Saburo Okabe couldn't help but feel a little pain in his head when he thought of Senio Fujiwara's name. The Fujiwara family didn't take any action except sending a telegram of congratulations to General Sugamimoto. But for someone who has reached his level
Everyone knows that perhaps the Fujiwara family's eyes have followed him south to Linfen.
If Fujiwara Senzuo returns smoothly, but if something goes wrong and he cannot come back, General Sugami Moto will be resented. How can he, the lieutenant general responsible for carrying out the negotiation task, be left alone? He may be secretly beaten at some time.
Rub it and do it.
Damn it, those aristocratic children just stay at home and enjoy the flowers and fish, so why come to the battlefield to join in the fun? Now they want him to wipe their butts.
Including the Chinese officer who stood with no appearance, he was promoted to Army Colonel at a young age of no more than 20 years old. He must be a descendant of a large Chinese family and came to the battlefield to be gilded. These are the privileges of those damn nobles.
Saburo Okabe, who was already extremely dissatisfied with the nobles, was even unhappy with the army colonel who was standing slouched. He got out of the car with his head held high and proudly, and looked at the imperials filing out of the carriages in rapid formation, feeling a little arrogant.
Like the young Chinese officer who scanned the area twenty meters away, he stood still and never moved forward.
I didn't even plan to introduce the two Western witnesses who got off the jeep, because the Japanese Army Lieutenant General thought it was unnecessary, and the Army Colonel was nothing in front of him! Who was qualified to talk to him?
On the side, Major Qingshui Xiucheng strode forward very wisely, and moved towards Tang Dao, who was standing casually, with his military-like legs together: "Mr. Colonel, according to the agreement between Japan and China, our front army
Lieutenant General Saburo Okabe, Chief of Staff, has arrived. Please welcome the head of your negotiating team. Otherwise, we may understand that you do not respect and value this negotiation. If the negotiation breaks down as a result, you will bear all the responsibility.
as a result of."
This was said in a very polite way, but what it actually showed was incomparable arrogance.
This means that you are just a colonel, or at most a small regiment commander, and we are the chief of staff of our front army. You are not qualified. If you don't send someone more senior, we will leave.
Except for Tang Tuanzuo, there was naturally no one else standing here to greet the young Chinese officers.
Originally, Major General Geng, the leader of the Chinese delegation, planned to come out to greet us. In fact, both the Second Theater and the 17th Division still hoped that this negotiation would be successful.
After all, what the Japanese side wants is a living Fujiwara warrior and the skeletons of all the Japanese soldiers who died in the Battle of Changle Village. If there are living Japanese soldiers, they are within the scope of their negotiations.
In fact, except for the fact that Yamashita's body has been transported to Jiangcheng and cannot be used as a bargaining chip, neither Fujiwara Senio, a young lieutenant general, nor the Japanese corpses that have been buried in the canyon of Changle Village are of no use to China.
If it is of no use, it is better to exchange for some prisoners of war and weapons and equipment to strengthen the resistance force.
In terms of real needs, although China is not as urgent as Japan, it actually needs this negotiation more than Japan.
This is all a waste of time.
But Tang Dao not only prevented Major General Geng from coming out to greet him in person, but even persuaded him to return to the city for medical treatment on the pretext of a sudden cold, leaving him as the deputy head of the negotiating team to support the situation.
That's because Tang Dao is very aware of the stinky virtues of the Japanese nation. If a major general comes out to greet them and gives them enough face, then Saburo Okabe and others will be relieved.
But why? Why did they occupy millions of square kilometers of China or did they massacre hundreds of thousands of Chinese people?
The two armies are now at war, and the Japanese side has initiated negotiations. The Chinese side did not use any tricks to kill these guys, and it is already very trustworthy. What is etiquette, justice and integrity, it can't be compared with bandits!
If it weren't for the fear that Xia Dayu was still too young and couldn't suppress the scene, Tang Dao would have planned to have his orderlies come.
As for the commander of the Roman Empire in the Jincheng Concession and a German Empire businessman, it depends on whether they know each other. If they really take themselves too seriously, Tang Tuanzuo is not the kind of person who is afraid of trouble.
, just ignore it.
In another year, these two countries will start a war with the whole of Europe wearing a pair of underpants. Is it necessary to have good relations with them?
The Japanese major said very forcefully, how could Tang Dao get used to him? He sneered, without even looking at the Japanese major in front of him, and waved his hand, and the more than forty soldiers of the 17th Division Guard Battalion standing behind him stood in uniform
A move.
Both Commander Zhao and Brigadier Geng have made it clear that Commander Tang Dao will follow the lead of all actions, and he will do whatever he says.
Saburo Okabe was so frightened that the 100 Japanese soldiers who had just lined up neatly were panicked. They all prepared to take down the rifles on their backs. There were some who reacted faster, and they fell to the ground with a single prostrate.
Point the gun at the Chinese who are ready to start a war if they disagree.
Tactical moves are very standard.
Unfortunately, the Chinese soldiers seemed not to have seen them, including the black muzzles of guns pointed at their backs. They turned back collectively and began to assemble.
The Chinese side was just a simple gathering, while the Japanese side was like a frightened bird at the slightest sign of trouble. They were so nervous that Brigadier General Tian was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a sense of embarrassment.
But he is not ashamed for the Japanese, but for himself. You know, more than an hour ago, he told Mr. Krupp that there is a huge difference in the training of Chinese and Japanese soldiers. The Chinese side is basically a group of people who put down their hoes and picked up their guns.
farmer.
That's good! His face was slapped by the Japanese's poor performance. I heard that the Japanese escorts were members of the special agents selected from various master troupes? Is this true? No way
There must be something fishy in it!
Rostav chewed his pipe and watched with great interest the contest between China and Japan on the first day of the new year. Compared with the rigid-faced Saburo Okabe, the young Chinese officer's resolute face and bright eyes undoubtedly made him watch more
Pleasant to the eyes.
This is a choice that any normal man would make. Who is not a good-looking guy?
Faced with all this, Saburo Okabe was so excited by the almost clumsy behavior of his own soldiers that his face suddenly heated up. Before he could speak, he heard the middle-aged man who should have come to the battlefield to gild the battlefield said loudly: "Since I think the negotiation is impossible,
Just go back! Welcome again, please go slowly without seeing me off. By the way, the trucks and horses will be left behind as a reward for preparing for our big war this time."
"Baga! Yours, are you dead?" Okabe Saburo felt an unknown fire from the soles of his feet to the roof of the sky, and he just barely managed to put the crazy curse in his heart into his mouth. If it wasn't
It suddenly occurred to me that I was standing surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops.
How can Saburo Okabe not be angry?
Before coming, he thought about many possibilities, but he never thought about this one, that Du Baga would drive people away before even talking about it?
Moreover, he was so shameless that he wanted to leave the carriage and horse behind. I traveled thousands of miles by plane and car, so I came here to deliver something to you?
To be honest, it's not that Naosaburo Okabe has never bought vegetables before. When he was a junior lieutenant, he would go back and forth with the vegetable vendors over the prices of vegetables. After all, there was still a bargaining process. It was like now.
, He hasn’t said a word yet? This young Chinese officer who doesn’t know the heights of heaven and earth is going to drive people away, and he has to steal all the things before driving them away. These bad guys must be bandits who have changed their profession!
"Baga!" Qingmizu Xiucheng was obviously startled, and he blurted out a customary Japanese phrase with great anger.
"Major, do you know what will happen to those who call Baga in front of me?" Tang Dao, with an indifferent expression, suddenly looked back at Qingshui Xiucheng.
From the moment this Japanese army major came towards him, Tang Dao knew that this guy was a master. Although he was not at the level of Senio Fujiwara, he was definitely a good player. If this guy didn't know what he was looking for, Tang Dao didn't mind at all. He was right here.
Let this Japanese master know what a real master is in front of these Japanese people who still don’t know how much they weigh.
The battlefield is a place for killing people, not for showing off who's sharpest with the knife or who's sharp-tongued.
What is a show of force? In Tang Tuanzuo's understanding, it means beating you without knowing the situation.
Obviously, these Japanese people are ignorant.
Shimizu Hidejou can become Fujiwara Senzuo's deputy. In addition to his background in the intelligence system, his own strength is also a very important aspect. Enough confidence makes him want to beat up the Chinese officer who is full of arrogance in front of him, but he is rational.
Tell him it's better to be more sensible.
Although there is only a Chinese infantry platoon here, what about the surrounding area? At least there is an infantry battalion or even an infantry regiment! And further out, there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops.
There were only 200 of them, and it probably took less than half an hour for them to be completely killed by the Chinese.
As for the fact that he promised Saburo Okabe that he could take him out of here, then... let's just pretend he didn't say it!
The Japanese Army Major, who had focused all his attention on the surrounding environment since before the convoy arrived, even ignored the arrogant Chinese officer in front of him.
If he could meet his immediate superior, Lieutenant Colonel Fujiwara Sentio, he would definitely remind him that he would rather provoke an infantry battalion than this guy. Being surrounded by an infantry battalion may lead to death, but being surrounded by this guy will definitely kill him.
Life would be worse than death.
Fujiwara Senzuo, who was still in the prison of the 17th Division, figured it out a few days ago. It turned out that even his so-called "jumping off the cliff" was included in Tang Dao's calculations. However, he did not jump off the cliff. Judging from the ending,
When he thought of the word 'waste', the always arrogant Fujiwara Senzuo had the urge to commit suicide, but in the end, his wish to live rather than die prevailed.
Even if I live in hell every day.
On the other hand, Qingshui Xiucheng, who finally considered his situation clearly, had a slight expression on his face and took a step back involuntarily.
"You should be very lucky that this is not a battlefield." Tang Dao glanced at the Japanese officer with disdain and never looked at him again. He turned his eyes to Saburo Okabe, whose expression changed.
This is completely the superior's contempt for the weak. If he really wants to take action, the Qingshui Xiucheng in front of him is by no means an enemy of Tang Dao and Tang Dao. He is far worse than his defeated general Fujiwara Senzuo.
Qingshui Xiucheng's face almost turned into pig liver.
Being able to be selected as his deputy by the arrogant Fujiwara Senzuo, as a senior intelligence officer who stayed in the Kwantung Army Intelligence Section for five years, he even planned to assassinate the 29th Army Commander Song
He plays a major role in the admiral's plan, which shows his ability.
As a result, he was reduced to being ignored by an ordinary young Chinese officer, which was a huge humiliation.
However, the feeling of being pointed at by hundreds of guns is really uncomfortable!
The Japanese master, whose face turned into pig liver, could only lower his head and look at the ground. He was afraid that if he raised his head, his eyes as if on fire would burn that hateful and ignorant guy to death.
That would be bad.
Hidejo Shimizu was in a bad mood, but Saburo Okabe was actually in an even worse mood.
After all the calculations, he never expected that the Chinese would send such a guy to "welcome guests". In Chinese terms, this is a "two-handed person"!
Normally, Lieutenant General Okabe would have been insulted by this, and he would have walked away long ago. Anyway, the big guys behind him have already taken care of things, and at worst, he will move to another place, and Fujiwara Senzuo will not be able to return to count the balls! Anyway, he is shirtless.
Yuan is the first responsible person.
But when the gentle old face of that old guy Sugang Shangyuan appeared in Okabe Saburo's mind, Okabe Saburo couldn't help but feel cold. He knew that this was what Sugang Shangyuan was looking for after he was defeated in the Battle of Southeast Shanxi under his personal command.
The last fig leaf, if it is gone, God knows how that old guy will take revenge on himself.
In other words, as long as the Chinese don't go too far this time and ask him to sacrifice his own head, he will basically meet the Chinese conditions. The bottom line for this negotiation is really low for Baga!
Saburo Okabe's expression changed, and after greeting all the close female relatives of Yamashita's dead culprit in his stomach, he also brought Yuan Sugami with him.
Of course, what he hates the most right now is the Chinese "second pole" who has completely prevented him from getting off Taiwan.
However, after Okabe Saburo heard the name of 'Two Pole', he immediately understood that this person was not just a tough guy.
In fact, the evil reputation of Tang Dao, the leader of the Fourth Army Regiment, has spread throughout the entire North China Front Army’s top brass after the Battle of Southeast Shanxi.
Based on a simple calculation of his past achievements, the Imperial officers and soldiers who died under this man were almost able to be assembled into a division.
If they slaughtered 200 more of them, they would really have no psychological burden at all.
What, there are also guarantors of the two major Western empires?
Seeing the ferocity flashing in Tang Dao's eyes, Okabe Saburo, who felt danger signals all over his body and felt chills in his vest, knew very well that the 'murderous Yingye' demon in front of him probably really didn't think that far ahead.
