The wind quietly blew through the two armies' fronts waiting for battle. Two cars were used to get out of the city gate. The soldiers in and outside the city looked at the two cars with expressionless faces. The cars rolled up smoke and dust, forming a yellow smoke and dust belt in the air.

The car took this dust belt across the two armies' positions, and when approaching the position of the China-** team, a Chinese soldier appeared on the road holding a sign in his hand, and the center of the sign was a big "stop". When the car stopped, Deyong's adjutant rolled down the window, and the Chinese soldiers came over to look inside the car, then waved to let go.

Without a single word, everything happened quietly. The car drove away from the checkpoint and two Chinese soldiers stood on the pedal of the car. Deyong noticed that after the car entered the control area of ​​the Zhong** team, the Chinese did not ask him to pull the curtains and let him observe the surrounding situation at will, which made him feel the confidence of the Chinese again.

The car didn't drive for long, and entered a small town. Deyong noticed that the town was very lively, in sharp contrast to the empty Beiping City. People came and lived on the streets, and the residents seemed to have forgotten the war that was around them. Their faces were full of happiness, and this happiness was only changed to surprise when they saw the Japanese flag on the car.

The car passed through the street in the surprise of the residents of the town and stopped at a place that was obviously a school. Deyong got out of the car and several soldiers were waiting at the door. What disappointed Deyong was that there was no Chinese general among these people.

"I am the negotiator of Commander Okamura Nishiji, Kenjiro Tokunaga, this is my deputy Toshima Fukushima, and this is Mr. Yang Jiaqi, the president of the Peking Chamber of Commerce." Tokunaga first introduced his entourage to the other soldier with the rank of general.

"I am General Yu Jishi, deputy commander of the North China War Zone. This is Major General Breon, deputy chief of staff of the US military. You should know Mr. Stuart Leiden, who just escaped from your centralized management. This famous architecture expert in our country and professor at Tsinghua University." Yu Jishi also introduced the members of the Chinese side who participated in the negotiations.

After Yu Jishi introduced, he made an invitation gesture and then led the way in. Fukushima got off the bus from afar and looked around quickly. He found that although China was almost open to them, there were no reporters around, which meant that they had taken measures and blocked the news.

The layout of the negotiation venue is very simple. Several desks are put together, with military green tablecloths on it. There is a teacup on the table in front of each position, and nothing else is left.

After entering the house, Yu Jishi didn't speak anymore and walked straight to the north to sit down. Brenn, Stuart and Liang Sicheng were on his side. Deyong sat opposite Yu Jishi without thinking about anything else.

"General Tonaga, Commander Zhuang, after meeting with General Okamura last time, I believe that he has told you about our conditions. This time you requested negotiations, I wonder if you have accepted our conditions?"

Yu Jishi didn't say a little nonsense, and he went straight to the point; Deyong calmed down before speaking: "General Yu, our side proposed negotiations this time, first of all, we ask you to stop attacking Tianjin first. Since we decided to use negotiations to resolve the problem, we should stop bleeding;

Second, we can put down our weapons as requested by you, but we require the officer’s samurai sword to be retained. Many of the samurai swords were passed down from their fathers and ancestors. They not only carry the honor of Japanese samurai, but also carry the honor of family;

Third, there are many Japanese civilians in Peking City. They have been doing business legally in China for many years, and their lives and property management should be protected;

Fourth, when we hand over Peking peacefully, you must agree to avoid bombing Tokyo and Kyoto when bombing Japan. In addition, we will hand you a list of cultural relics protections, and these areas must avoid bombing: Fifth, you must ensure the safety of the lives of the officers and soldiers who have laid down their weapons.

Sixth, our officers and soldiers who put down their weapons are exempted from pursuing war crimes. Even if there are war crimes, they can be handed over to the Japanese court for trial in accordance with the Geneva Convention.

Seventh, after the war is over, your side shall not continue to detain our personnel, and they should be sent back to the country as soon as possible.

Eighth, officers and soldiers who put down their weapons shall not be forced to engage in forced labor."

Okamura Yanji had many requests, but Yu Jishi was very calm and listened patiently, and even had a faint smile on his lips. But he breathed and was extremely excited. It only took only seven years from Yaowu Yangcheng at the beginning of the war to surrender now. This was exchanged for countless Chinese people with their blood and lives.

How arrogant was Koewe Fumimoto when he issued a statement that he would not take the National Government as his opponent? How arrogant was the Japanese generals. He destroyed the Cretaceous China in three months. Now it has been seven years. China has not been destroyed, but they are themselves.

After Toyoto read out the conditions, he looked at Yu Jishi opposite him. Yu Jishi replied without thinking: "According to the agreement between the allies, the Japanese army can only surrender unconditionally, and the Japanese army in Peking can also surrender unconditionally. Therefore, we cannot accept your eight conditions, but we are willing to discuss a plan to protect Japan's history with your cooperation."

Deyong's face turned red, and he felt a strong sense of humiliation. Yu Jishi spoke very much like the previous Japanese general. He stared at Yu Jishi's eyes and asked slowly: "General Yu, your army rejected our conditions in this way, which made me very doubt your sincerity in negotiations." Yu Jishi smiled faintly: "For our sincerity, President Stu Leiden and Professor Liang Sicheng can testify, and you have to give your conditions, but unfortunately, in Cairo and Tehran, we announced our conditions, and any Japanese army must surrender unconditionally."

Speaking of this, Yu Jishi paused and said, "Besides, what are your eight points? Stop attacking Tianjin. Our army has occupied 90% of the area in Tianjin. Hengshan Yong only relies on a small area in the Japanese concession to survive. Let me tell you that before sunset, we can conquer Tianjin.

Japanese civilians are legal businessmen, ridiculous! In the past seven years, your businessmen have used your force to plunder our people, and annex the property of Chinese merchants by various means. It is also legal! It is simply absurd! The samurai sword is judged by war criminals themselves. Are there any war criminals?"

Yu Jishi moved a little when he said this. He pushed the chair away and stood up, stared at Deyong and said, "You are just using Beiping as a threat. I tell you, we are not afraid of destroying Beiping. If it is destroyed, we can rebuild it. It's nothing great."

Deyong was a little nervous. He raised his glass and drank a sip of water, stabilized his emotions, and put forward eight points. He did not expect that China would agree to all of them, but he did not expect that Yu Jishi's attitude was so tough that he would not negotiate with him at all.

"General Yu, I don't deny that we are in a desperate situation, but you are wrong. We Japanese soldiers are not afraid of death. In our tradition, death on the battlefield is the highest honor of the samurai." Tokuyaka remembered the strategy that Okamura and he jointly formulated last night. No matter how the Chinese performed, what they could not avoid was that they were unwilling to attack Peiping. Only by writing on this point can the Chinese accept their conditions.

"We are here to negotiate, and it has not yet been announced to the troops," Tokunaga's expression was very serious: "If we pass this news, not only me, but also Commander Okamura, may be assassinated. If it is serious, it will lead to mutiny, so we must have enough reason to convince the steady officers to control the troops."

Yu Jishi stared at Tokuyaka and shook his head slightly: "The so-called samurai is just deceiving oneself. There are already many samurai in our prisoner-of-war camp. Kawabian Masaki and Tani Shouo, oh, by the way, and the samma-kun who is famous among young officers are all in our prisoner-of-war camp."

When he heard about the Masato Rising, not only Tokunaga, but also Fukushima Torishima was shocked. Masato Rising had a very high reputation in young officers. Many young officers regarded him as idols, and he also regarded himself as a model of samurai. In his daily actions, he also paid attention to the samurai's behavioral norms. Everyone who had contacted him praised him as a representative of the Bushido spirit; but even this person became a prisoner of war.

The excessive contrast made Tokunaga and Fukushima not know how to speak for a while. Bren spoke when he chose: "General, according to our Western view, your situation is already a desperate situation. It is not a shame to put down your weapons in this situation. The only thing we can guarantee for the eight conditions you mentioned is that you will be protected by the Geneva Agreement. As for the others, we absolutely cannot accept it. The political leaders have already decided in Cairo and Tehran."

Deyong was filled with a sense of failure. He asked unwillingly: "How can we know that when you bomb, you will avoid bombing ancient buildings in our country? If you cannot be sure of these, why should we put down our weapons?"

Yu Jishi nodded: "This is reasonable, so we asked Professor Liang Sicheng and President Stu Leiden to participate in the negotiations. After our army recovered Shandong, Professor Liang proposed to protect Japanese ancient buildings when bombing Japan; President Stu Leiden rushed to the North China War Zone Command just after he escaped from danger and suggested to us that when bombing Japan, he should pay attention to avoiding the National Library of Japan, avoiding the universities, etc. General Tomorrow, to be honest, I don't understand why they care so much about the enemy."

Yu Jishi's god became more and more serious. It was obvious that he was trying to control his emotions. He paused for a while: "But you, you broke into our country, unarmed civilians, killed the old and weak, look at the current Peking, what mixed noodles the citizens eat, almost all universities were closed, and most primary and secondary schools were closed, you are so guilty!"

The negotiation venue was in extreme silence, and Deyuong felt a stream of anger like a mountain, which made him feel a little breathless. After a while, he suddenly realized that the person he dared not see the least was Yu Jishi, but Liang Sicheng and Stu Leiden, who had not spoken so far. Their noble personality power was as strong as Mount Fuji, and any tricks he had in front of them seemed humble.

"I suggest an appointment." Deyong said something very difficult.@.
