Chapter 44: Offensive and Defensive Battle of Qinzhou (14)
. Among the children of the Mitsukoshi family of Osaka Mishima, who is well-informed and well-known in Mishima, Hosokawa's Sinology is very common. But he can still understand the meaning of the saying that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. In addition, merchants are the most shameless industry. Therefore, although Colonel Qiu has no diplomatic "demeanor" and does not conceal his extreme contempt for Hosokawa and others, Hosokawa can still look at these pieces of paper that are related to the fate of himself and his subordinates with a "great" spirit of spitting on his face, with a mask with a smile, and carefully look at these pieces of paper that concern the fate of himself and his subordinates.
As time went by, Hosokawa's picture was well-known to everyone present, and the glossy smile on his chubby face disappeared bit by bit. When this strange situation happened on Hosokawa's face made the Japanese feel that something was wrong. Finally, after using up his family's hypocrisy for hundreds of years, Hosokawa finally couldn't help but reveal his true nature.
Colonel Hosokawa, who was so embarrassed by the "hard" conditions of the Chinese, finally showed some of the toughness that soldiers should have. "Qiu Sang, these terms you issued are simply forcing all the officers and soldiers of our Eighth Regiment to fight to the death with your army to maintain their basic personal dignity!" He stood up from his seat with anger, pointed at Colonel Qiu with anger and said: "
Although Hosokawa's sudden change of face was originally unfavorable to the good, the atmosphere at the negotiation site, which was quite decent, became extremely nervous immediately. The guards on both sides glared and used the loaded 38-shaped covers to look at each other face to face. Judging from the popularity of the scene, this small dimly mountain temple will probably become a bloody slaughterhouse in the next moment.
"Brother Hosokawa, you can get up to your business first. Since you are here to negotiate, then let's talk slowly! As long as everyone is sincere, they can always reach an agreement."
This man smiled and smoothed out the situation. The Japanese didn't respond much. They were all listening to Hojo, the translator, and translated this sentence into Japanese. But the Chinese side made a fuss and everyone was stunned. This sentence itself was nothing strange. It was nothing more than that after the negotiations reached a deadlock, one side had to say the scene. The key was that the person who said this diplomatic rhetoric was recognized by all those who knew him. He could only fight, kill, and kill. The bayonet was red. The shock to the Chinese people was no less than seeing the sun and the moon hanging side by side in the sky.
"Of course, if your Eighth Regiment wants to be a soldier like the Fifty-five Regiment, all of them are iron-blooded soldiers. My big sword and I are also very welcome to have the opportunity to play with Colonel Hosokawa. Don't worry, they are all acquaintances. At that time, I will leave you with a whole body for Colonel you." It's a pity that the open and upright tiger will eventually become an open and upright tiger. No matter how much it changes, it will not become a fox. Wen Songyuan's next sentence revealed his own foundation.
This time it was Hosokawa and others who were terrified. Although Hosokawa had been thinking about how to use the special identity of the "imperial" soldier to make more and faster money, he could not be considered a real soldier. However, Colonel Hosokawa was a philistine and had been in the army for so many years. At least he could tell whether the words of Fumisokawa were bluffing. Not to mention anything else, the extremely fierce murderous aura that could only be honed by the dead souls with countless swords was enough to make Hosokawa believe from the heart that the other party did have the ability he said.
Hosokawa, whose mind was shocked, couldn't help but let out his momentum, and then sat back.
In fact, Hosokawa was so aggressive just now that the reason why he was almost defeated was not entirely because of Fun Songyuan's words and actions. The shrewd Hosokawa was very smart. If the talk really broke down, there would be no need for Fun Songyuan to lead the team to fight with each other. The 18th Army alone, the powerful artillery and chariot troops could be severely damaged and even defeated the Eighth Regiment without meeting the infantry on both sides. If it weren't for the insight of the power in this, Hosokawa would not have risked the double risk of being treated as a treason by his superiors and being killed by the Chinese design, and came to this small temple to blow the northwest wind.
"Colonel Hosokawa, please talk about this draft!" Seeing that the Japanese were convinced and came with their purpose, Colonel Qiu, who was not too impressed, did not want to be too far away, so he brought the topic to the main topic.
Although he was unwilling to accept his will, but his power was not as good as others. Colonel Hosokawa could not succeed even if he could not make a mistake, so he could only bargain with Colonel Qiu one by one.
"You have two prerequisites drafted by you. The first is that all our officers and soldiers must hand over all their equipment to you without any damage. This is generally not a problem. However, we have to put forward a countercondition on this one, that is, the personal property of all officers and soldiers of our corps should be protected by you. The second is to limit the time for our corps to put down our weapons to twelve hours. This time limit is too tight, and I cannot convince all officers and soldiers to take joint action."
"The retaining of private property can be discussed. In principle, we agree to protect the property brought by your wing officers and soldiers from Japan, but any gains plundered on our land must be paid. As for the final time limit for dismissal, considering your actual difficulties, it can be extended to twenty-four hours. However, due to the long time, our department cannot guarantee whether the agreement can be fully implemented and no longer can be discussed and changed! Otherwise, we will help your department and do ideological mobilization work." Adhering to the explanation of the two military captains, the eighth wing's armed "business group" that is profitable, the intention of luring it to benefit. Colonel Qiu said harshly, but in fact, it has already opened an opening for Hosokawa. This is a relatively empty concept that has not been collected from plundering.
, China has not specified the previous trade profits, and it is considered to be plundering gains, which can be said to be a big deal. If it is really implemented, as long as the scale of the New Eighteenth Army is not too strict, the Japanese devils in the Eighth Regiment can still have some loopholes in this regard. Cheng Jiaji thought that the Chinese army's commitment to protecting the Japanese army's private property was enough to achieve great benefits in the previous period of exchanges between the two armies. As for the extension of the time of half a day, it is not a big deal when the 21st Army of the Japanese army is too busy to take care of themselves. And Cheng Jiaji and Lieutenant General Huang mean that they have to wait until the 13th Division arrives and then take the surrender together, and delay it for a long time. It is also easy to prepare this unprecedented surrender ceremony calmly and decently.
It should be said that Cheng Jiaji had figured out the pulse of Hosokawa and others at this point. After Colonel Qiu said this, Hosokawa, after muttering a few words with the two Sai-level officers who came from behind, he readily agreed with the two prerequisites that had been revised and supplemented...www.piaotian.com.
cn.
These two items were successfully passed, but both parties to the negotiation knew that these two items were the easiest to reach consensus. The focus of the negotiation was still behind. Therefore, although the atmosphere on the scene was not as tense as it was just now, it was not even as time to let everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your side proposed two ways out for our officers and soldiers. Our unit could not accept it." Sure enough, Colonel Hosokawa, who had a little advantage, immediately became more and more aggressive.
"Col. I personally think that we are very generous in dealing with the two solutions to your wing officers and soldiers." Colonel Qiu said this, paused and looked at it with interest. Hosokawa's face that was already red with redness, and said confidently: "However, as our Commander Wen said, it is still possible to talk about it. Since the Colonel has any objection, please come up with it and let's consider it one by one!"
"Your side gave the first way out, after voluntarily put down your weapons, our officers and soldiers served for your government or army. The years of service are calculated based on the level of the military rank. This is a violation of the Geneva International Treaty. In addition, we require the Swiss Red Cross to supervise the future survival status of our wing officers and soldiers." Seeing the contemptuous look of the Chinese personnel, Colonel Hosokawa, who had studied in the traditional friendly country of Japan, said this request for "righteous words", the more he spoke, the less he spoke, and it became too detailed to hear. Obviously, Colonel Hosokawa knew very well how the Japanese did the issue of prisoners of war.
Under the almost substantial and ironic gaze that came from the opposite side, Colonel Hosokawa finally managed to hold on to these things. He felt that he was fantasy. Then the Chinese guards burst into laughter. (Under the simultaneous translation of Tojo, Chinese people could hear Hosokawa's speech as soon as possible.)
"That Hosokawa! You said this a bit too pretentiously, men don't like to listen. Everyone is an oriental person, and they are the king of successes and defeats. No matter what the country is, they have never really abide by it. The red-haired ghosts have made those things, they themselves cannot achieve the high-sounding rules and regulations. Besides, why can you Japanese kill prisoners of war and civilians? We can just serve hard labor for a few years! You must know that prisoners of war are a general rule in today's world, and there is nothing to say. If you are so quarrel-bending, don't talk. Just go back and fight." Because you are not interested in this kind of bargaining like buying vegetables, you have already planned to be a supporting role. You can't help but be amused by Hosokawa's unrealistic words, so you can't help it. So you just jump out and point it out.
Colonel Hosokawa studied Japanese native products very thoroughly, and was criticized by someone in front of his subordinates and was worthless. He could not find any strong arguments to refute what Fumisongyuan said. Hosokawa was really angry, but he did not dare to do anything in the current situation, which made his face turn blue and white and embarrassed.
"Compared with China with vast land and abundant resources, Japan is just a small country with barren land and lack of resources. In order to survive, it is sometimes more extreme. But the knowledgeable people of China and Japan should see that for thousands of years, the two countries with water have been more friendly. It can be foreseeable that the future of China and Japan will still be mainstream. Here, as an officer of a small country, I request that you be the nobles of the vast field to consider the future of the two countries, and to treat our army officers and soldiers who cannot help but participate in the war due to military orders." Although it was already a silence. However, Hosokawa, who came from a merchant family, was not comparable to those of "samurai and workers" who only knew one way to go. It seemed that the hardness was no longer possible, so he began to ask softly.
Not to mention, these words "self-modest" of Hosokawaji are really useful. At least Colonel Qiu, the chief negotiator of the New 18th Army, had a much better expression.
"Hosokawa, the less you say, the less you hear. This is a war. It is a war on the land of China. With this point, it can be seen that the strength of a country has nothing to do with the small countries of a big country. Otherwise, how could you, just rely on the bird-haired people, kill the land of our great dynasty? My boss said it well, once this national war starts, you can only judge the hero by victory or defeat. Now that your Eighth Regiment is defeated, you have to follow the path we have drawn. Only then can you live a life. It is useless to say things like wearing water and looking forward to the future. It is right for us to be a great country. It is okay to be too tit for tooth, but it is not impossible to make mistakes!
Don't waste time here. What else can be used to pour out all of them?” Wen Songyuan gave Hosokawa another blow. And this stick was really hard, which made Hosokawa, who claimed to be calm and sophisticated, feel trembling all over. As the son of the vice president of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce, Hosokawa had the honor of visiting the entire Japanese business community, Yamada, who was regarded as a god, before coming to China for battle two years ago. He also went to war with China. He humbly sought advice on the question of how much Japan will win. This Japanese "Business God" was secretly supported by the military department, with the intention of "infinitely expanding" the Chinese incident.
Yamada's answer surprised Colonel Hosokawa, who was already the leader of the regiment at that time. This "Shang God" who was keen on instigating a war of aggression against China actually believed that even if the European and American powers did not interfere with the "China Incident", once China and Japan started a full war, the probability of "Great Japan" winning was no more than 30%. Hosokawa, who was puzzled, was about to ask in detail. Since the probability of winning was so low, why did Yamada still advocate that merchants fully support this war, Yamada smiled and did not answer, but threw away a few Japanese-translated versions of Chinese Confucian classics, allowing Hosokawa to understand it himself.
After thinking hard for several months and fully contacting the Chinese, Hosokawa understood why Yamada insisted on Japan's full-scale invasion of China as soon as possible, even though he knew that the chances of victory were not high. The mystery of this lies in the return rate of war. If Japan wins, with China's natural resources and the supplement of the vast labor force, Japan's national strength will definitely double. By then, Japan will dominate Asia and peek at the world without much need to say anything. Osaka merchants can also obtain benefits that are impossible to obtain in normal times. Once China wins, only Japan can say a few soft words, reflect on what it did in the past, and divide the first evil and threats, and will surely be forgiven and lenient from the Chinese who have always advocated repaying grievances with virtue and regarded themselves as a great country.
There is such a big contrast between the benefits of war and the risks of failure, it is no wonder that Yamada will act like this. Now Fun Songyuan is clamoring for toothless behavior. Although it only represents a part of Chinese soldiers, it is well known that China is actually the soldiers supporting the government. From this, this opinion is likely to affect China's post-war national policy. If that is true, it will not only cause the Sandu merchants to go bankrupt, Japan will be severely damaged, and Japan will even never make a breakthrough. How can this not make Colonel Hosokawa, who is lacking loyalty to the military headquarters, but still attaches great importance to the future of his family, be so panic that he can hardly be unable to do so.
"Colonel Hosokawa, if you don't want to serve labor, then follow another solution and implement it!" Although they are a scholar who is well-read in poetry, after so many years of blood and fire training, Colonel Qiu will not be ruthless when it is time to take action.
Wen Songyuan and Colonel Qiu were both angry and almost beat Hosokawa and his colleagues to death on the spot.
This No. 2 resettlement plan is the prerequisite for the Eighth Regiment, which is based on the public internationally, and has issued a statement that the Eighth Regiment has been drawn from the current Japanese government, and has organized a Japanese "peace army" with the help of the Chinese army. Although not only can all officers and soldiers of the Eighth Regiment be treated by the Chinese side, even officers such as Hosokawa can continue to enjoy a superior life. However, because of this, the families of the Eighth Regiment in Japan will inevitably be subject to the full persecution of the angered government and military headquarters, and Hosokawa and others cannot accept it at all.
It can be said that the second plan seems to be boundless, but in fact, it is much more sinister than the first. Of course, in politics, the benefits China can get from the Eighth Regiment will also increase geometrically.
"Everyone, you have twenty-four hours to consider. Once the time comes, our army will launch a general attack with the total strength of five divisions, which will definitely ensure that all the Eighth Regiment will be "gods". Commander Wen and I are busy with military affairs, so we go back first. Please take care of ourselves!" Seeing that the temperature is almost the same, Colonel Qiu, who had no hope of being able to negotiate in one go, stopped when he saw the opportunity.
The Chinese who had the upper hand turned around and left. In an instant, only those devastated Japanese soldiers were left in the small temple.
Soon after seeing the yellow signal flares that Wen Songyuan fired, which represented the unsuccessful negotiations, it was because, in the past few days, received a large number of "friendly sponsorship" from the Japanese. The artillery and armored soldiers of the New Eighteenth Army, with sufficient shells, followed the original agreement and carried out a corner of the position of the Japanese Eighth Regiment, intending to warn the Japanese army of covering artillery shelling.
This time, the overwhelming and powerful shelling bombardment not only showed the determination of the New Eighteenth Army to never give up until it achieves its goal, but also completely shattered the dream of Hosokawa and others trying to delay the change.
Amid the rumbling cannons, Hosokawa and his colleagues, who were known for their cunning, looked at each other, and everyone was as beautiful as earth. They realized that for a long time in the future, they would not have the kind of people they had imagined, and would live a comfortable life like VIPs.
