267 Negotiation (Part 2)
Gu Zhengzhi's heart skipped a beat. He began to suspect that the Soviet Union had seen through the empire's strategy of going south, and then he dared to openly challenge. If this is the case, then he must immediately advise the cabinet to give up the strategy of going south, because if the Soviet Union could see through, Britain and the United States could see through it too. In that case, going south was purely a search for death.
However, Gu Zhengzhi's heart came and went quickly this time, because Li Xiaofeng immediately continued: "Your country's more than one million troops were trapped in China and could not move. If you invade our Far East again, this pressure is probably not small? As long as our country fully assists China, your country will also be in a weak situation of fighting on both sides. How good is this?"
Gu Zhengzhi breathed a sigh of relief in an instant, and his mind began to rise. It turned out that the Soviets relied on China. No wonder they increased their aid to the Turkish Communist Party since last year, which was to drag the empire back.
To be honest, the empire was also depressed about being trapped in the quagmire of China, especially with the rapid rise of the guerrillas of the Turkish Communist Party and the rapid increase in combat effectiveness of the guerrillas with the assistance of the Soviet Union, the pressure became increasingly greater.
But negotiation! Just like playing cards, you can't tell the truth. Even if you catch a bad hand, you have to pretend that I am an unparalleled master. Intrigue is inevitable, so Gu Zhengzhi must belittle the role of China.
"The Chongqing army lost most of China under the attack of our imperial army, and could only hide in the southwest and survive. The Turkish Communist Party was even more dog meat that could not be used on the surface, and the mere guerrillas could not make any difference. It was as easy as destroying them by our Royal Army! "
Li Xiaofeng sneered: "The cows are flying in the sky! If you say that you can fight so well, what else can you talk to our country? Since your country is so sweet in China, let's continue to maintain the status quo! Then see who can't hold on first!"
Gu Zhengzhi couldn't speak, but Li Xiaofeng's sarcasm was not only so much: "It seems that our country needs to strengthen aid to China, and the pressure on your country is too small, so it won't be in trouble!"
Gu Zhengzhi's face was dark. In his opinion, someone really didn't talk about diplomatic etiquette, and he was indeed worthy of being a Slavic barbarian. But in Li Xiaofeng's opinion, diplomatic etiquette is a magical horse? It's just a group of real villains and hypocrites pretending. When your Japanese were the dominant ones, did you talk about diplomatic etiquette?
The negotiations fell into a stalemate again for a while. This made Tani Masayuki sweat because before coming, Hideki Tojo and Shigekimiki assigned him a task, which was to strive for the best conditions to obtain a truce against the Soviet Union. As for the so-called best conditions, it is naturally to try to ensure that the results of the previous stage of negotiations were implemented.
Now Gu Zhengzhi felt that the Soviets were preparing to turn the table directly, and the so-called achievements at the previous stage were probably not recognized by the Soviets, and there was even the possibility of counterattacking and counterattacking.
"Mr. Andre, please respect the spirit of negotiation. We have reached a good consensus in the previous stage. We should continue to abide by it!" Gu Zhengzhi emphasized guiltily.
Li Xiaofeng smiled, stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I don't think there is anything else to talk about. I announce the breakdown of the negotiations!"
Well, Gu Zhengzhi was really going crazy. He had thought that the Soviets would turn the table up, but he didn't expect that someone would turn it up so completely and simply, and that was just waiting for this moment.
What's more thorough is that Li Xiaofeng made a blow: "I inform Comrade Buliuheer to continue fighting!"
Damn!
Gu Zhengzhi's head was covered with black lines. He knew that someone was deliberately telling him and deliberately trying to anger him, but this made him want to vomit blood. At this moment, Gu Zhengzhi had only one thought in his heart: "It's too bullying! It's too shameless and too despicable!"
What Li Xiaofeng wants is this effect. If it weren't for the secret negotiation or the British, this guy would want to pick up a loudspeaker and announce the news that the negotiations would break down.
"This Andrei Petrovic is so hateful! When the empire conquers the world, he must cut off his dog's head and avenge his previous shame!"
Although Tojo Hide's mouth shouted loudly, this does not mean that he is also ready to overturn the table. Because he cannot overturn the table, the slogan in the front is actually a step for the retreat behind him: "But as the saying goes, a small impatience will cause chaos! At this moment, we can only stabilize the Soviet Union, Tani Masato, this difficult task is left to you, and we must reach a ceasefire!"
This time it was Gu Masayuki's turn to curse. Who doesn't know that reaching a ceasefire will inevitably mean compromising with the Soviet Union, and this is definitely a scoundrel and shit basin. He really doesn't want to take it. But from Hideki Tojo's eyes, he could see that he couldn't take it without taking it, and it was unconventional.
After a long time, Tani Masayuki could only sigh in his heart: "Just regard it as being loyal to the empire and His Majesty the Emperor!"
However, Gu Zhengzhi asked for instructions: "Where is the bottom line?"
Hideki Tojo looked at Hiroshiki. The latter said slowly: "Restore pre-war status and do not pursue Soviet military aid to China."
Gu Zhengzhi felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, because it means that the empire has been in vain for more than half a year. So many people have died and so many resources have been consumed, but it was a waste in the end. This is really not in line with the empire's strategy of raising war with war!
However, what Gu Zhengzhi didn't expect was that such conditions were just their wishful thinking, and Li Xiaofeng would not sign the armistice agreement with such conditions. In his opinion, this meant embarrassment and loss of power and humiliation of the country.
"Return to pre-war state?" A fairy sneered and mocked: "You said simply that your country's undeclared war has caused serious casualties and property losses to our country. If you don't compensate or apologize, you want to fool it. If you think our Soviet Union is made of mud, you can pinch it as much as you want, right? Tell you that a truce is OK, and you must apologize and compensate, otherwise you will not be able to negotiate!"
"That guy really said that?"
Gu Zhengzhi replied with a bitter face: "He is even more rude than I say!"
Hideki Tojo was really angry this time. If it weren't for the fact that the south was unchanged, he really wanted to continue fighting with the Soviet Union. Then he would see who was stronger.
Seeing that Tojo Hideki was about to be angry, Shigekira quickly persuaded: "Tojo, the overall situation must be the most important thing!"
Tojo Hideki gritted his teeth and said, "But apology and compensation are too..."
Chong Guangkui advised again: "Han Xin can endure the humiliation under his crotch, so can we! One day, Lucia's ghost beast will definitely pay ten or a hundred times the price to repay today's humiliation!"
Who said that the Japanese are not as good as the spirit? Even at some point, the Japanese's self-paralyzing and self-yy are quite amused. On the eve of the Japanese defeat in 1945, there was actually a feeling of wind and coldness. The feeling of suffocation of the building that was about to collapse made the Japanese seek medical treatment one by one. Even having such a beautiful dream, Suzuki Kantaro said when the storm was about to come: "Stalin's physique is very similar to Takamoto Saigo. They are both big belly, and they must be good people who value friendship. They will help Japan!"
Yes, since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Japanese soldiers who had been thinking about how to make a wrong idea in Russia and tried every means to go north, on the eve of the imminent destruction, actually wanted the Soviet Union to help mediate and achieve a decent ending.
It is conceivable how stingy these people are. Not to mention whether Stalin really values love and friendship, can there be a necessary connection between big belly and love and friendship? Besides, no matter how "Stalin "focuses love and friendship", he will not appreciate each other with the enemy, right? In short, the Japanese have quite a problem with their logical thinking ability, probably because this nation is too good at being unreasonable.
The negotiations continued, and this time the Japanese were no longer as aggressive as before. Although Tani Masayuki was trying his best to fight for the country, in front of Li Xiaofeng, who was completely unreasonable, these were useless. At the end of March, the negotiations between the Soviet and Japanese on the Northeast Armistice issue finally had a result, and this result was a complete shame in the eyes of the young Japanese soldiers at that time.
This treaty, which was later called the "Soviet-Japan-Shanghai Secret Agreement", stipulates that a comprehensive truce between Japan and the Soviet Union will be achieved, and the two sides will break away from military contact, and the actual control line before June 30, 1941 is the dividing line of the armistice. Japan compensates the Soviet Union for economic losses of 200 million rubles (repaid in five years) and sends a special envoy headed by foreign ministers to apologize and apologize to the Soviet martyrs. This treaty also stipulates the size of the Kwantung Army in the northeast (no more than 500,000 people).
Not only the above, but more importantly, the Soviet Union once again clarified its operation and control over the North Manchurian Railway. According to the provisions of the treaty, Japan is not allowed to garrison troops along the North Manchurian Railway.
Don’t underestimate this one. This alone will make the Kwantung Army’s power in the Manchuria area unprecedentedly weaken, giving the anti-Japanese armed forces operating in the North Manchuria region a base. In particular, you should see that it is backed by the Soviet Union. It will be very convenient to obtain military aid.
Later, in order to curb the vigorous activities of anti-Japanese armed forces in the North Manchuria area, Japan had to build a long blockade line and an unmanned area. However, this was useless. As Japan fell deeper and deeper in the Pacific battlefield, it had to draw a large number of troops from the Northeast. The puppet Manchukuo puppet troops alone were not enough to curb the growth of anti-Japanese armed forces. By 1944, the year when the allies entered a full-scale counterattack on the anti-fascist battlefield around the world, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance, supported by the Soviet Union and led by the Turkish Communist Party, also began to recapture the three eastern provinces.
Of course, these are all later stories. For Li Xiaofeng, the journey was complete. The Japanese finally got into the trap. According to his calculations, the Japanese would attack Southeast Asia by mid-May at the latest. The fun was going to be great at that time!
"How is Li Erwen?" Li Xiaofeng asked comfortably.
"MI6 is still searching for her with all her might. It is said that the Hong Kong Island Station station manager has been removed from office!" One-eyed Peter replied respectfully.
Li Xiaofeng shrugged and said indifferently: "What I want to know is what Li Erwen found out?"
"She should have found some actions in Japan and guessed Japan's plans."
“Is there any evidence?”
One-eyed Peter smiled bitterly: "Didn't you tell us to hide half and reveal half, and you can reveal Japanese attempts to her, but don't give her real evidence?"
"Very good!" Li Xiaofeng smiled happily, snapped his fingers and ordered: "The temperature is almost done, you can let MI6 arrest people."
Poor Li Erwen, the legendary female spy just found a little bit and was thinking about how to dig deeper. Who knew that he was caught by MI6 in the blink of an eye. This change caught Li Erwen off guard, and even m who came to round up Li Erwen himself felt a little confused. Why did he succeed in one go?
You should know that before, Li Erwen was more slippery than a loach and cunning than a fox. He once played the role of MI6, which was really hard to deal with. Could it be that he was careless and lost Jingzhou or the horse was in trouble?
For this reason, m personally interrogated Lierwen: "Why do you want to treason?"
Learvin replied disdainfully: "I have not treason!"
"Then why did you leave your post in Paris without permission, why did you go to Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia to do activities? I remember this is not your task, right!"
Learvin replied calmly: "My task is to safeguard the interests of the British Empire and ensure the legitimate interests of the British Empire. Now, in the Far East, the Soviet Union and Japan are trying to endanger the interests of the empire..."
m interrupted her directly: "So, you don't care about my orders. So you leave your post without permission, so you are doing whatever you want in the Far East, right?"
Li Erwin was still very calm, and she replied calmly: "If you want to say that actively carrying out intelligence work is a misconduct, then I do a misconduct. I think such misconduct is beneficial to the empire. It is better than standing in a pit without shit, right?"
m was angry by Li Erwin's attitude and shouted angrily: "At this time, you still dare to argue! You are the only one who is working hard, and the other colleagues in MI6 are all free to eat. That's what you mean!"
Learn nodded and replied seriously: "Yes, that's what I mean. Otherwise, I wouldn't have appeared in the Far East to do the work that was supposed to be done by those wastes."
"You are becoming more and more arrogant!" m looked at Learwin coldly and said coldly: "Do you know what the traitor will end?"
Learvin replied with a smile: "I know that I do nothing, but that only knows the fate of the bureaucrats who eat, that is, to destroy with the empire!"
"The British Empire will never set sun!" M was so angry that he roared: "Whether it was Germany or the Soviet Union, compared with the great British Empire, it was just a fly or a mouse. How could the light of rice grains compete with the bright moon!"
Learwin laughed coldly and said, "That's just that you feel good about yourself. Don't you understand that this world war is a watershed. If the empire does not make changes as soon as possible, then the biggest winner of this world war is definitely not the empire, and the glory of the sun will become a decisive sound!"
M looked at Li Erwen angrily. She was really helpless with this female spy. She had originally impressed her with words, but who thought that the other party was much more difficult and strong than she thought.
In the end, m could only say: "I won't have a meaningless verbal dispute with you. I will give you a chance in the end. Do you have anything else to explain!"
"I have told you a long time ago that I have to explain it, but with your short-sightedness and thinking ability, I am not willing to believe it," Lierwen laughed again. "As the most imperial subject, I fulfilled my obligations for the last time, and remind you that Japan may have reached a compromise with the Soviet Union, and they are likely to go south to invade our colonies in Southeast Asia!"
M still doesn't believe it. In her opinion, the Japanese will only make the Southeast Asia unless they are crazy. She always thinks that the British Empire is much stronger than Japan. In the eyes of Japan, the British Empire should be a giant that needs to be looked up to. Have you ever heard of dwarfs provoking giants on their own initiative?
What's more, the Japanese army was still trapped in China at this time. Could it be that the Japanese had cramps in their brains and would choose to go to war on the third line? You should know that the Soviet Union alone could give Japan a pot of drinks. How dare they touch the tiger's butt of the British Empire after provoking the Soviet Union?
Yes, M has always felt too good to himself. She has lived too long and has been immersed in the glory of the British Empire. Perhaps in her opinion, the empire can defeat Napoleon and William II, what is a mere dwarf country?
Japan is indeed nothing, but the Sun-Don't Set Empire is really nothing at this time. It only has a scary tiger skin. After stripping off this tiger skin, Britain was so weak and powerless. Looking at the legendary British Empire after the outbreak of the Taiping War, it was really no better than the incompetent army. It was the same that it was blown away by the Japanese in various positions and beaten. Where was the magnificent spirit of the Sun-Don't Set?
There are more than just one who lives in the glory of the past. There are many old stubborn people like her in the UK, especially in the political circles where bureaucrats gather. For example, when the British and the United States were planning the torch operation, a senior British general said: "You Americans don't know how to fight. In this world war, you should act as a logistics company and be an arsenal of a democratic country. Let's leave the war to our British warriors!"
To be honest, this is quite arrogant. You should know that the British Empire was forced to breathe by Germany's unlimited submarine warfare, and was beaten by Rommel in North Africa. At that time, the British were still showing off with the nobles. Do you think they deserve to be beaten?
For example, General Patton, who is very familiar to everyone, this guy just doesn't like the British guys very much. He has always challenged Montgomery and was dissatisfied with all kinds of things, because why is it not the British guys' pretentious style.
Let's get back to the point. Few people in the UK believe Learwin's prophecy. Even the most vigilant British people only believe: "This possibility exists, but there is no evidence to support this view for the time being. There is no need to be too nervous and keep a long-term observation." (To be continued.)
