Chapter 247 Xiyuan Temple

"Dear Svenson: The climate in Nanjing has not been very good recently, it is very wet and cold. In this winter, after the New Year, there are not many gatherings in the diplomatic groups in Nanjing. The ambassadors who used to like socializing in the United Kingdom, France, and Russia all look shabby. It seems that the war has a considerable impact on their diplomatic allowances...

I held several meals and the response was very enthusiastic. I also received a lot of news that Britain and France seemed to have given up their special impact on the current situation in Asia at this time. Their minds were entirely on the war in Europe. Do you understand the current tense situation between Japan and China? Although I am in this country and have a good relationship with the young general, it is still difficult for me to understand what he wants. His cabinet and parliament have been constantly complaining to me privately, and the president seems to be enjoying the anger and trying to fight! They finally agreed to him and expanded.

The policy of participating in the European War......... Because they really saw the benefits. Many people have shares in various companies and have made a fortune in more than a year of war. But at this time, they continued to use some small actions to anger Japan, allowing this country that is enjoying the benefits of the war and has not been stable for a long time to fall into a situation of fighting on both sides of Germany. Aren’t they crazy? Although I don’t agree with their views, I still feel a little confused about the current situation. You need me to provide a detailed analysis report. I’m sorry, I can’t do anything about it now...

I am not very clear about the situation in Japan. I believe you should have more control over the situation there than me. At least the Japanese ambassador in China has become angry and helpless. I sincerely believe that he hopes to calm down the situation caused by North Korea. But Yuchen does not seem to want to give him this opportunity. Japan's current expansion of the army is already a very huge threat in the Western Pacific. They now have four new battlecruisers of the King Kong class, all with terrifying fourteen-inch cannons. Two super fearless battleships named Yama Castle and Fusang are also accelerating their construction and should soon join their already powerful fleet. At the same time, the other two super fearless battleships have also boarded the ship platform. Such a huge navy

Sadly, our United States does not have the ability to resist in the Pacific direction. In addition to the newly acquired bases in the Central Pacific, it is a very huge threat to us. Especially when the US policy is quite inclined to China. Their expanded army, at least the Chinese army can resist, but the pressure from the navy has to be borne by us. If the situation develops to an uncontrollable point, we can only make two choices, either having the ability to overwhelm the Japanese navy, or giving up our treaty with China and turning a blind eye to what happened in Asia. This danger does not exist. And I deeply doubt how much China can wish to participate in the drastic changes in Asia......

My friend! Although Japan is still seeking to resolve this conflict almost unilaterally. But I doubt that Yuchen seems to be determined to keep this situation deadlocked. What actions will Japan's army that is vigorously expanding, and those soldiers who have been crazy twice in Northeast China and Qingdao? The future of Asia is opening up to us, maybe an opportunity, maybe a disaster... I hope the State Council can make clear instructions as soon as possible, what should I do now? My personal strong suggestion is that we must exert our influence on Yuchen and calm the incident as soon as possible when Britain and France are powerless. Otherwise, we will give up on us.

Influence in Asia, or choose to join the war in one aspect! I have no doubt that our great country will participate in the war in the Old Continent. This is the first time that the United States has officially stepped on the international stage and competed for the dominance left over from the Old Continent. Why do we not act at the same time and compete for this dominance in Asia? We must act immediately in advance in the mediation work to find partners we can truly rely on. Whether it is China, which already has good relations or Japan, which is changing drastically, what we fear most is that we will do nothing! I hope you can come to Asia in the near future. I understand your good relationship with the State Council and Capitol Hill.

As for Yuchen, I will try my best to seek a heart-to-heart talk with him, just like when he was in Xuzhou and Shanghai before. The result is not something I can predict now. And he has always been difficult for people to predict. He seems to want to push another storm in Japan, making them more chaotic. But what kind of consequences have to bear? Maybe he doesn't know... God, maybe he knows. But who can say this accurately? The situation in Asia and the situation in the world have never become so complicated!

The letter has been written long enough to say hello to you and your wife. And Svenson III, who is very cute.

ps: Yuchen's army is said to have conducted a very interesting exercise a few days ago. I will always know what it is. The above is your loyal Cooper."

Yuchen stood up with his military uniform. He asked in a low voice to Lai Wenzhen and Hui Yingci, who were standing beside him, "Have the guest arrived? How is the confidentiality work going?" Hui Yingci smiled, but the level was higher than him, Deputy Chief Lai Wenzhen reported: "President, please let it go. The Presidential Guard and Lieutenant Colonel Hui's Foreign Military Intelligence Department have protected the guests very well. Their ships were also taken from Yangzhou and escorted to Nanjing by naval warships. The ones accompanied were the most reliable officers, and we believe there was nothing missing in the work."

Yuchen nodded silently and walked out: "Go and see the guests... Let's talk about this water completely." A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was very interesting to the work he was about to do. Hui Yingci and Lai Wenzhen looked at his back and followed him without saying anything. Then he heard Yuchen say vaguely in front: "They are not too slow... Finally, they have waited..."

The three of them did not take anyone, and walked towards the reception room along the corridor of the Presidential Palace. There were guards everywhere at the door, and all the guests who visited or were waiting to meet were blocking the situation. Looking at the serious expressions of these tall guards, you know that the guests Yuchen was going to meet today were very extraordinary. The three of them circled and came to the door of the reception room. The guards guards at the door respectfully opened the door. As soon as they walked in, they saw that the reception room where dozens of guests could be sat, was empty.

There were three people sitting there. One of them was Yuchen's secretary-general Chen Zhuo, and the other was a short middle-aged man. Looking at his stiff lapel and a mustache, you can tell that he was a Japanese man. His demeanor looked quite noble. The other was a girl with a bright skin, slender and slender figure, wearing a well-fitting female hunting suit. At the glance, the outline was a mixed race between Asians and whites. Her bright big eyes were faintly blue, and she looked innocent but was charming.

Seeing Yuchen strode in loudly, the three of them quickly stood up, and the middle-aged man bowed forty-five degrees to show his politeness. The girl was looking at the world-famous young general very curiously. Chen Qun also quickly saluted and smiled at Yuchen, saying, "President, let me introduce you to you. This is Hua Zhou, the Japanese veteran Duke of Nishizoji, Duke of Nishizoji, and the secretary of Mr. Hirayama of Nishizoji. This lady is his daughter, Miss Akiko Nishizoji......... Two, this is our head of state, President Yuchen."

Yuchen smiled and reached out and shook hands with Hirayama Nishienji, expressing his enthusiasm. When he shook hands with Akiko Nishienji, he hesitated for a moment, but the girl held his hand openly, her big eyes just kept looking at him on his face. Yuchen felt a little embarrassed. Finally, she smiled and said, "You are not easy for you to come, please sit down! I am really busy, but I have also heard from people... Especially Mr. Hirayama's intentions, and I am willing to talk to you. If you have any questions, please spread them out. I am quite sincere."

This Viscount Nishizoji Hirayama, the eldest son of the Japanese veteran Nishizoji Kuima, has been serving as secretary for him. He married an American wife and also held a diplomatic position. He is now preparing to enter the Imperial Parliament. He is also the successor of his own efforts to cultivate. He is also known as the star of hope for the future Japanese politics along with another young Japanese hero, Duke Kouma. With the fall of the Okuma Cabinet, the influence of the Japanese liberal politician represented by Nishizoji was in the tide of restoration of Japanese conservative forces in Japan. With the fall of the Okuma Cabinet, the influence of the Japanese liberal politician represented by Nishizoji was in the tide of restoration of Japanese conservative forces.

The shed was hit hard. Especially Nishienji Komaru himself was deliberately restricted by Yama Prefecture Aritomo and Kashitaro, which kept him away from politics. However, the veteran himself did not give up his secret activities at all. In his opinion, Japan must become a normal country and integrate more into the white-dominated world system. This is the only way for Japan to truly become stronger. However, the powerful forces of the military, as well as Yama Prefecture, Kashi, the stable ruling system, made him also have the will to

Powerless. However, with Yama Prefecture falling ill, it seemed that Japan was not too much. As the North Korean incident broke out, Keitaro, who still adopted a reconciliation attitude, was unprecedentedly opposed by the extremist forces of the military headquarters. This elder saw the opportunity to regain the situation. In his opinion, Japan must not take the path of military headquarters rule, which would be a complete disaster! He immediately began two efforts, on the one hand, using the influence of the Chinese people on the Japanese royal family to directly work on the emperor and the others, and strive for himself

On the one hand, he hopes to reach a reconciliation with Yuchen through secret contact. He believes that as long as Yuchen understands that Japan's military headquarters is now on the rise, the first thing these soldiers have to do when they come to power is to provoke a war against China on the mainland. He will be very willing to deal with them, such as the moderate Japanese forces, and make concessions that Kazutaro and others hope to get. Even if they secretly sign some treaties between the two countries, it can be considered.

As long as he came to power, he could calm the imminent restless situation in the country with the resolution of the North Korean incident. He could slowly resolve the current situation of the military's monopoly power and allow Japan to gain time for development. So he sent his own son to the United States, in the name of his daughter who went to the United States to study there, and then sent his confidant to contact Jiang Baili, who was in charge there, in Tianjin, one of Yuchen's most confidant people. He passed on his wish to talk. After getting Yuchen's approval, Hirayama Nishienji, as the plenipotent representative of the Xienji Gongwang, took his daughter directly from the United States to Nanjing and held a talk with Yuchen. He had a big circle in between, and now he finally met Yuchen.

Several people sat there, Yuchen just smiled and didn't speak, looking very calm. Nishiyuanji Hirayama didn't know where to start, and after a while, he said: "Mr. President, I believe you already know the purpose of my visit this time. The tense situation between China and Japan is, although it seems to be a small problem on the North Korean border. I believe you also know it very well. This is just a flame that has already been piled up between the two countries! The impact on the situation between the two countries is very huge... It is likely to trigger a war! And my father's opinion, China and Japan

The two countries should have worked together to develop together, coexist and prosper, and establish an Asian Asian. My father has always received great kindness and enthusiasm for China's development and changes, and has very good wishes for your country's current booming momentum... But a war can completely interrupt this change! The power of the Japanese military has always regarded your country as the biggest imaginary enemy. The war ability they have accumulated is also very terrible. So my father hopes to communicate well with the President to resolve this situation and pull the two countries back from the brink of war......"

Yuchen listened to Chen Zhuo's translation and suddenly laughed: "I have probably heard from Baili that the Savior proposed the resolution. Let's not talk about the identity of the Savior in the opposition. Can we have the ability to decide this negotiation? Just talk about these conditions, extradition of the Kung Fu Jin Kowloon, sign a treaty for the North Manchuria incident, allow the construction of the branch line leading to the Sino-North Korea border, and jointly launch an operation with the Kanto Army to sweep the Sino-North Korea border, and reduce tariffs on Japan... These conditions are far beyond the negotiation conditions proposed by the current Prime Minister of the Cabinet Mr. Kae Taro to me. If I want to accept it, I might as well accept Prime Minister Kae. What are we talking about now?"

His tone was a little sarcastic. Hirayama Nishienji lowered his head and organized his words. Akiko Nishienji's eyes kept spinning on Yuchen's face. She wanted to say something several times but knew what occasion was now. In the end, she closed her mouth tightly. The girl's hair was floating in front of her eyes, and she just slapped her bangs low. The style made our Secretary Chen a little distracted. Only Yuchen looked at Hirayama Nishienji as if she hadn't seen it, with her face tense and expressionless.

"Mr. President, at this time we only need to be honest. This is also the one my father told me many times. Although the negotiation conditions proposed by Prime Minister Gui are gentle, they cannot appease the powerful military forces in the country. His status is already very unstable! There is no result in negotiations now. In order to maintain his position, the negotiation conditions he proposed again may be higher than the price and harshly again! He does not have a powerful force to restrain the army, and he only relies on the elders of Shanxian County, and the lifespan of the elders of Shanxian County is not very long. It is said that he is still in a coma...

My father has a deep force in Japan. He has considerable support in the palace, in the cabinet, in the parliament, and in the financial world, which can balance the increasingly powerful forces of the military headquarters! He may re-establish the cabinet at any time, and the negotiation conditions he proposed are now acceptable to the military headquarters! Maybe you have made more concessions, but it is very helpful to maintain the current overall situation! As long as you can limit the ambition of soldiers trying to take power alone... This possibility does not exist! You can continue to discuss things in the future. Now you only need to maintain a face issue for the Japanese people to calm the situation!"

Yuchen listened quietly without interrupting him. Nishitoji Hirayama seemed to have received some encouragement, and spoke more and more confidently: "If you insist on not reaching a compromise with the Japanese forces representing peace, the consequences may be very sad. My father and you do not want China and Japan to reach the point of a full-scale war. That sacrifice will be very huge and the losses will be extremely heavy. China and Japan will have no winners in this disaster! A brief tolerance will be exchanged for future peace and prosperity. With your great wisdom, you will understand all this very well. Are you willing to extend a hand of friendship at this moment?"

The translator Chen Zhuo kept peeking at Yuchen's face. He knew that his president had always appeared in politics as a tough nationalist. Especially on the issue of Japan, he never made any concessions. Although the representatives of the Nishizoji Temple wanted to solve the problems between China and Japan with sincerity, how could Yuchen agree to these negotiation conditions? Even Katsutaro's fairly gentle negotiations were ignored by him. Nishizoji Hirayama probably made a lot of trouble when he arrived this time. He didn't know why the Nishizoji Temple wanted to negotiate through Chiang Baili, and this desire to express peace and contact with Japanese liberal politicians or Yuchen passed through Chiang Baili.

Mr. Zhongshan, who is now in Hong Kong, secretly sent to relevant Japanese parties. Otherwise, how could the Nishiyuanji Master come to the door? The two of them seemed to be suddenly coming, and they didn't know how many work they had gone through in various ways. However, Mr. Zhongshan, Song Jiaoren, Jiang Baili and others in the center, thought Yuchen really wanted to reach a compromise with these Japanese liberal politicians to restrain Japan's military forces. What he really thought was that no one could fully know now. This incident and the subsequent development were the most complex strategic planning that Yuchen had made when he came to this era, and in the future, he would involve more countries and more forces.

Akiko Nishienji saw her father passionately telling the young president that the girl was only twenty years old this year. She was also the age of worshipping heroes. When she was studying in the United States, although she was a child of Japanese Kiyoshi and half of the white bloodliness. However, with the tense environment of US-Japan relations, she did not receive any very friendly treatment. When Yuchen and Li Yuan visited the United States, the scene of popularity in the United States immediately made the girl feel attentive to this Asian hero. China, which has always been looked down upon by Japan, can such a person appear? When she learned more about him from newspapers and books, the girl felt that this person was simply a living legend! And it was still

Such a young and handsome! Looking at the photos of Yuchen and the happy Li Yuan hugging each other at the foot of the Capitol Hill published in the newspaper, the girls felt a sense of jealousy. So when the father said he would bring her to see Yuchen, she agreed without hesitation. In addition to the responsibilities that the children of the Xiyuan Temple family must fulfill for the family, this kind of inner little expectation also vaguely exists. Looking at Yuchen frowning and listening to his father finishing his words seriously. His young and quiet face was full of a majestic and hard attitude. For some reason, the girl really hoped that Yuchen could agree to the negotiation conditions proposed by her father and grandfather, and that such a terrible war would not occur between China and Japan!

There was a silence in the reception room, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yuchen. But he remained silent, as if he was making constant weighing in his heart.

He suddenly stood up and said to Hirayama Nishimotoji: "Have you agreed on a password with your father? I hope to contact Mr. Senator directly by telegram. This matter is too important. It is not a hasty decision to make... But Mr. Senator's opinion, I will consider it...... The premise is that he must become a person who can truly take responsibility for Japan!"

As soon as the words came out, Chen Zhuo was so shocked that he forgot the translator Yuchen's words. What was the president thinking? Didn't he know that these conditions of negotiation are difficult to recognize by the people of the country now? This is not his usual tough style! Is he really worried about the outbreak of this war with Japan? Since that's the case, why didn't he agree to the conditions of negotiation proposed by the Katsura government?
