Chapter 385 Secret talks with Japan (I)

On Sakhalin Island, in the middle of the north-south dividing line occupied by Japan and the Soviet Union, a tent spans the Japanese and Soviet-occupied area. Around the north of the tent, except for Qi Yanming, other special forces team members were holding bars and looking vigilantly at the Japanese army opposite. Similarly, around the south of the tent, a small team of Japanese troops with German submachine guns were also staring at the special forces team members.

Hu Yunfeng looked at the nervous Japanese army opposite and smiled secretly, with a hint of a ceasefire negotiation in the Korean War. Hu Yunfeng and Qi Yanming walked into the tent, and a table inside also crossed the dividing line. On the south side of the table was a man in a Japanese military uniform and two men in suits. A man in a Japanese military uniform and with the rank of general was timid. Hu Yunfeng murmured in his heart that this should be Mijiro Umezu, the current commander of the Kwantung Army. The man in a suit should be the foreign minister Yosuke Matsuoka. Another man had a notebook in front of the table, which should be a translator.

"Captain, the Japanese are still very formal." Qi Yanming smiled at the three stern faces.

Qi Yanming said it in Russian. When Meijiro Umezu and Yoyu Matsuoka saw that there was contempt between his words, they turned their heads to look at the translator with anger. But the translator couldn't understand, so they could only shake their heads helplessly and whisper to them: "Sir, I don't understand what they said?"

Hu Yunfeng and Qi Yanming chuckled and sat down, one stared at Meizu Mijiro and the other stared at Yoyu Matsuoka, but the other did not speak.

Meijiro Umezu is a soldier, and he saw murderous aura in Qi Yanming's eyes. Meijiro Umezu snorted and returned to Qi Yanming with the same gaze. Meijiro Umezu had already studied Hu Yunfeng when he came. He knew that Hu Yunfeng would always use some evil ways every time he negotiated with the Empire, disturbing the emotions of the empire's negotiators, and thus grasping the initiative in the negotiations, so that the empire was always at the forefront when negotiating with him, and had suffered a considerable loss. This time, Hu Yunfeng took the initiative to propose negotiations, and he and Matsuoka Yosuke had already agreed that Hu Yunfeng would suffer a big loss this time.

Although Matsuoka Yosuke has rich diplomatic experience, he is a civil servant after all. Hu Yunfeng's sharp eyes stared at him, which made him very uncomfortable. Half a hour passed, Matsuoka Yosuke could not bear the depressed atmosphere, but he could not destroy the countermeasures he had discussed with Meijiro Umezu when he came. He must let Hu Yunfeng speak first, so that Hu Yunfeng was in the position of begging for the empire from the beginning.

Hu Yunfeng certainly understood that this negotiation was proposed by him and put him in a disadvantageous position. Moreover, he wanted the Kwantung Army not to stab the Soviet Far East in the Soviet port, which was equivalent to asking for help from the people. Although he had other aspects to restrict the people, he could not guarantee that the gambler island Congress would change its strategy because of his Soviet port's capture of the Soviet Far East and go to war with him and the Soviet Union.

Matsuoka Yoyu looked at the translation, and the translation was also distracted by the murderous and dull atmosphere. Seeing Matsuoka Yoyu looking at him, the translation immediately understood that Matsuoka Yoyu could not stand this atmosphere like him. The translation stood up and bowed to Hu Yunfeng and Qi Yanming and introduced: "General Hu, this is Matsuoka Yoyuki, the foreign minister of the Great *** Empire, and this is General Mijiro Umezu, the commander of the Kanto Army."

*** The soldiers have always despised civil servants very much. Seeing the translator start to speak, Meizu Mijiro's heart suddenly became angry. He glanced at Matsuoka Yoyu and cursed the bastard and was helpless. Now it's negotiations, he can't fight first, so Hu Yunfeng was a joke.

Meijiro Umezu had a dark face and followed the translator and asked, "General Hu, are you asking for help from the Great *** Empire?"

Hu Yunfeng chuckled, and Qi Yanming immediately took out a cigar and lit it for Hu Yunfeng. Hu Yunfeng took a few sips before he smiled lightly and asked slowly: "Please? General Meijin, if I want you to do my business for me, I can invite you to Chongqing at any time. Has the Kwantung Army Command been rebuilt?"

Leaving Hu Yunfeng's gaze, Matsuoka Yoyu gradually calmed down at this time. He was the person in charge of this negotiation. Not holding on just now had already made him lose face in front of Mijiro Umezu. Now he is not in a hurry to speak. Mijiro Umezu and Hu Yunfeng are in line with his tit-for-tat attitude. He hopes to get from Hu Yunfeng's words and what Hu Yunfeng wants to talk about?

Meijiro Umezu was waiting for Matsuoka Yosuke to resume the conversation. Qi Yanming's move to light a cigar for Hu Yunfeng just now made him understand that Qi Yanming is a person who is not allowed. If Matsuoka Yosuke continues, they will attack Hu Yunfeng together, and they will be able to dominate the negotiations.

What is hateful is that Matsuoka Yosuke did not respond, and the Kanto Army headquarters mentioned by Hu Yunfeng was a matter of shame to Umezu Mijiro and all the relevant Eastern Army. Although Hu Yunfeng put the achievements of destroying the Kanto Army commander and arresting the former Kanto Army commander in Chongqing for trial on the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, who now doesn't know that Hu Yunfeng did it?

Meijiro Umezu was disappointed and dissatisfied with Yoyu Matsuoka, and there was humiliation from Hu Yunfeng on the other side. He said, "General Hu, please pay attention. This time you asked to talk to us."

"Yes, I want you to come." Hu Yunfeng turned his head and glanced at Yoyu Matsuoka and continued, "You can refuse to come. But as far as I know, you are negotiating with the United States now and hope that the United States will give up the trade embargo on you. But I also know that in order to prevent the negotiations from breaking down, your General Irosaki Yamamoto has formulated a plan to attack Pearl Harbor and eliminate the US Pacific Fleet. If you don't want me to find you, do you want me to find Americans?"

"You..." Umezu Mijiro was speechless.

Similarly, Matsuoka Yoyu's heart was surging. Yamamoto Iroku's combat plan against the United States was formulated. It was only recently discussed at the cabinet meeting. Hu Yunfeng immediately received news. Seeing Hu Yunfeng's smug look, Matsuoka Yoyu and Umezu Mijiro could only swallow their anger. They hated why such a person appeared in China, like a sharp knife stabbed into the Great *** Empire. At this time, they understood that with this information alone, the Great Japanese Empire would be slaughtered by this despicable and shameless Chinese general.

Seeing that they were scared, Hu Yunfeng smiled and said, "I don't intend to reveal your situation. On the contrary, at the right time, I will help you to combat the power of Britain and the United States in the Pacific."

It turned out that he also regarded the United States and Britain as potential enemies. Yoyu Matsuoka and Mijiro Umezu secretly breathed a little relieved. But everyone knows that there is no free lunch in the world, and the *** people who have been cowardly aroused by Britain, the United States, France, Russia and other powers for decades understand this truth. Yoyu Matsuoka had to stop talking at this time. He asked: "General Hu, what help do you need to help the Great Empire?"

Hu Yunfeng said: "I don't need your help. I just need you to guarantee that no matter at any time, your Kanto army in Northeast China will not be allowed to step into the Far East. As long as you do this, I will not interfere whether you attack the Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, printing, or land in the United States."

"I believe General Hu already knew that the Great *** Empire had signed a peace treaty with the Soviet Union. As long as the Soviet Union did not attack the Kwantung Army, the Kwantung Army would not take the initiative to attack the Soviet Union." Yoyu Matsuoka glanced at Mijiro Umezu.

Hu Yunfeng snorted: "Since Germany attacked the Soviet Union, the Kwantung Army has entered a state of combat readiness. Have you not taken the opportunity to attack the Far East?"

"We are guarding against the Soviet Union." Umezu Mijiro defended.

"The Soviet army retreated step by step under the attack of the German army. Will the Soviet army attack you? Does the Soviet army have the ability to fight on two fronts? You are waiting. If the German offensive goes smoothly, do you want to take the opportunity to get a shot, right?" Hu Yunfeng said sternly.

The Kwantung Army is indeed waiting. As long as the German army conquered Moscow, the Kwantung Army will bite the Soviet Union without hesitation. Hu Yunfeng expressed the plans of *** and Kwantung Army, which made Umezu Mijiro and Matsuoka Yosuke angry and very embarrassed. Matsuoka Yosuke replied: "General Hu, we are indeed guarding against the Soviet Union. You and the Soviet Union have deployed nearly one million troops in the Far East, plus your troops in the Soviet port, do you think we are nervous?"

Hu Yunfeng stared at Mejiro Umezu and Yoyumatsu, wondering whether it would make the Soviet army in the Far East nervous or relax, which would be beneficial to the Soviet port's army to seize the Far East. From the last meeting with Stalin, Stalin asked all the troops in the Soviet port to change into Soviet uniforms to judge that Stalin was very nervous about the preparations for the Kanto Army, and the German fierce attack made the Soviet army in Europe tight. Stalin would transfer the Soviet port's army to other parts of the Far East to defend against the Kanto Army and draw the Soviet army in the Far East to block the German attack.

But Hu Yunfeng knew that even in the most difficult circumstances, Stalin did not draw too many Far East Soviet troops to resist the German army. In addition to drawing a lot of equipment, the number of troops stationed in the Far East increased year by year. If the Soviet army was allowed to remain vigilant against the Kwantung Army, when the Soviet port seized the Far East, it would face a large number of Soviet troops. Although the Soviet port's army was a sneak attack, it would definitely lose a lot. And we must also be prepared for the Kwantung Army. Therefore, making Stalin nervous would be detrimental to the Soviet port's army to seize the Far East.

In fact, Hu Yunfeng has been thinking about this issue recently, but he is not sure if Stalin no longer worried that the Kwantung Army would attack the Far East, would Stalin draw more troops to Europe to resist the German army than in history. Moreover, if Stalin no longer worried that the Kwantung Army would attack the Far East, it would inevitably change history. How to grasp the course of the war in the future also made Hu Yunfeng very embarrassed.
