Imperial Palace, Tokyo, Japan.
Emperor Showa and Konoe Fumiro knelt face to face, the maid poured tea and retreated, and on the table, there was a tea set on the table, and there was a telegram.
"Konoe-kun, let's take a look at the telegram first."
After Emperor Showa picked up the teacup, he didn't drink tea, but just said this.
Konoe Fumiro nodded, picked up the telegram, looked at it quickly, and after a while, he put down the telegram, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, but did not speak.
"Let's talk about it."
Emperor Showa sighed and said to Fumiro Konoe.
As for himself, when he first saw this telegram, he must have been angry, when did they have such a terrible Japanese empire, he was so angry that he almost tore up the telegram.
But he also understood that what the telegram said was the truth, and the benefits they had obtained in China were not as good as they had been at the beginning.
And at the beginning, some of the benefits have been used to resettle the victims and research new technologies.
Umezu Yoshijiro's last telegram said that he must be ahead of the independent division in the military industry to have an advantage, and he deeply believed this.
Konoe Fumiro organized his words, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the statement on the telegram is completely correct. ” "Huh."
Hearing Emperor Showa's sigh, Konoe Fumiro was also helpless, but he had to continue, "Your Majesty, as Zhou Weiguo said, once he opens the passage with Shanxi, then the entire Chinese battlefield, for the Chinese, has been completely revitalized.
If the Imperial Army wants to make any progress, I am afraid it will be difficult.
And the Kwantung Army, which is the hole card of the empire, the most elite troops, is obviously very unwise to fight with the independent division at this moment.
When we start a war, we have to consider whether there is enough interest to pay for this war, and if not, it is a loss-making transaction, and there is no benefit to the empire. ” Emperor Showa nodded, "Then if you make peace with Shina temporarily, how long is the right time?"
Konoe Fumiro was silent again, "At least a year, the longer the better, now that our weak neighbor has signs of rising, it's best not to be an enemy of it." ” "Is it really that hard to expand territory?"
"Your Majesty, the current strength of the empire is not enough to really crush them, so we can only continue to endure humiliation and burden, and when one day the strength is enough, just do it again."
"Eh, that's all there is to it."
On May 6, in the German Concession, Iimura rushed to Tianjin from the Kwantung Army, for this negotiation and for the sake of their future in Japan.
"Mr.
Zhou, this is His Excellency the Chief of Staff of the Imperial Japanese Kwantung Army, Mr.
Iimura."
Seeing that Zhou Weiguo had arrived, the German representative introduced Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Hello, Zhou Weiguo." ” "It's an honor to meet His Excellency Zhou Weiguo."
Iimura said to Zhou Weiguo, "I didn't expect Your Excellency to be so young. ” "General Iimura is polite."
Zhou Weiguo said lightly, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army is finally a person who can call the shots.
As for the previous two adjutants, they are now standing behind Iimura.
"Please take a seat, both of you."
Listening to the German representative, both sat down.
"Mediation begins."
Iimura nodded, looked at Zhou Weiguo, and saw that Zhou Weiguo didn't speak, so he knew that he was waiting for himself to speak, "Your Excellency's previous suggestion, His Majesty the Emperor also very much agrees, China and Japan have been neighbors for generations, and they should indeed maintain friendly relations." ” "Huh."
Regarding Iimura's eyes and nonsense, Zhou Weiguo could only answer like this.
"Therefore, I, the Japanese side, agree with what Your Excellency said before, and intend to hand over the two places of Beiping and Tangshan to your army as a matter of sincerity."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, he naturally agreed to take back Beiping without troops, but next, the Japanese side will definitely make a request.
"And I, the Japanese Empire, hope for a period of peace with China."
Iimura said, "This time, our Emperor Majesty hopes to be two years. ” Zhou Weiguo smiled, two years, two years is enough time to do too much, so he shook his head, "Half a year." ” "A year and a half."
"One year."
"Okay, just a year."
Iimura replied, one year, which was originally the estimated time of Konoe Wenlu, was also Zhou Weiguo's bottom line.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "But there are also conditions below." ” "Zhou Jun, please speak."
"You Japanese soldiers, on our Chinese land, need to restrain yourself and not oppress, enslave, or slaughter our Chinese people."
Zhou Weiguo spoke, "You must know that the land is my Chinese land, one day we will take it back, the people are my Chinese people, there are countless anti-Japanese people, I have too many channels to know the living conditions of the people everywhere, once there are Japanese soldiers who oppress my people, then I am an independent division, and I have to move my muscles and bones again." ” Iimura was silent, he was naturally somewhat clear about what their soldiers were doing on Chinese soil, in the eyes of the Japanese, since they had already conquered these lands, the population of this land was also their spoils of war, so they naturally did whatever they wanted.
"If this can't be done, then what kind of peace is it, I'd rather continue to fight with the soldiers to avenge my people."
Zhou Weiguo didn't say anything else, "You are better to my people, and I will be lighter in the future."

"Although mediation is for the sake of temporary peace, there is no doubt that there will be a decisive battle between China and Japan.
"I agreed to this."
Iimura nodded, "The people are indeed innocent, and as a soldier, you really shouldn't bully the people." ” "In that case, then about the matter of my independent division transporting supplies by itself" "Promised."
"Hmm.
Then I also had a reply to the return of some land in my country, Nanjing, Kaifeng, and Shijiazhuang.
Zhou Weiguo did not expect to let the Japanese send all the land back by relying on his mouth, and he was very satisfied with such a result, so that he had time to arrange some things to improve the people's livelihood.
The Chinese people are too bitter, for generations, they have been exploited, even in several powerful eras in history, the lives of the people have never changed, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, digging food from the soil, relying on the sky to eat, as soon as there is a natural and man-made disaster, they have to sell their fields and land, and even, sell their children and daughters.
Iimura sighed, in this way, Shandong will really be connected to Shanxi, but he can only nod helplessly, after all, this is agreed at the beginning.
"Then if there is nothing else, I will order someone to draw up the paperwork."
"Yes."
Zhou Weiguo also nodded, in this way, the anti-Japanese situation will be completely changed, and the Japanese need to restrain their lives.
"Nakajima-kun, you go."
"Hi" Nakajima got up from his chair and walked outside
