Age of Conquest Reborn

Hirohito's words were too serious, and he knocked out all the important civil and military ministers present. The ministers could no longer sit still. They all stood up, bowed deeply and apologized, "Your Majesty, please calm down, I am incompetent!"

What Emperor Hirohito wanted to hear was not the confession of the ministers, but the person who would be responsible for negotiating with Tang Qiuli this time. "You are so incompetent in waiting. Do you need me to say more? There is no one to preside over a negotiation."

Taking the initiative to ask for help, is there really no one in the Japanese Empire?" His tone became increasingly sinister.

The big boss of the military, the Army's Koichi Yoneuchi, didn't want to talk, and he didn't have the nerve to take on this job. After experiencing a series of defeats in Manchuria and the Far East, the Army had become a laughing stock within the empire's top brass. Even Koichi Yoneuchi himself was the target of public criticism.

Lately I have been keeping my tail between my legs and trying to be as low-key as possible.

As for Navy Minister Nagano Shuzan, he doesn’t want to get involved in the Army’s affairs. If it is the Far Eastern Campaign commanded by Koichi Yoneuchi, it does not prevent him from reaching out to stabilize the relationship between the Army and Navy that has finally eased. Does it involve Zain?

Nagano Shuzan was happy to see the joke. Speaking of it, this Zain's method of suppressing the navy was worse than Koichi Yoneuchi's method. Besides, negotiations were the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Even if he did not come forward, His Majesty the Emperor would not be blamed.

On your own head!

Foreign Minister Yoshihiko Noda had to speak up, "Your Majesty, I am not willing to share your worries with you, but this negotiation is of great importance and must be carefully considered. The empire's more than 50,000 wounded soldiers in Magadan are like

It was Tang Qiuli who blackmailed us, I don’t believe that this Chinese devil would have such a kind heart and take the initiative to return the wounded soldiers!"

"Therefore, I can conclude that this is a conspiracy. A naked conspiracy. But the difficulty is that we don't know the specific content of this conspiracy, so we can't start and formulate countermeasures. Negotiations still need to be negotiated, and we are passive.

We have to talk. Even if we don’t take into account foreign public opinion, we still have to consider the mood of the domestic people. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is willing to take on the important task of this negotiation. It’s just..."

Having said this, Noda Yoshihiko paused and said, "Noda Aiko, if you have anything to say, just say it. I've taken care of it!" Emperor Hirohito's face looked a little better and he said in a gentle tone.

"It's just that what I'm thinking about is what kind of conditions the empire will put forward for this, and the bottom line of negotiations that His Majesty can accept, or in other words, what price the empire will have to pay to settle this matter?" Noda Yoshihiko said in a low tone.

said.

To be honest. Dealing with the notorious China devil Tang Qiuli, especially passive negotiations. It will definitely not work if the Japanese Empire does not pay the price. Since Noda Yoshihiko reluctantly took over this hard job, he had to force Hirohito

The emperor expressed his stance and gave himself a bottom line.

"Hmm..." Emperor Hirohito pondered for a moment and felt that Noda Yoshihiko's words were very reasonable. No matter what the price, the empire must bring back more than 50,000 wounded soldiers from Magadan. Moreover,

The negotiations cannot break down, otherwise, the damn China devil will definitely create a lot of public opinion, and then the country will be even more passive.

"Noda Aiki, I will give you the bottom line. As long as the negotiations can be successful, more than 50,000 wounded soldiers can be brought back, and the negative impact of this matter on the domestic people can be eliminated. Within this scope, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs can decide as appropriate, even if

It's a price to pay, don't feel sorry for it!" Emperor Hirohito confessed, although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, and he knew that this time, he would definitely not be able to survive without bleeding!

Now that Foreign Minister Yoshihiko Noda has taken on this thankless job, the big guys in the military world breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that this imperial meeting should be over. At this time, a sudden sound sounded.

Come, "Brother, I have something to say!"

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Prince Zai Ren who was hiding in the corner. What did this guy who suffered a huge defeat in the Far East jump out to do? This incident happened because of him. If he hadn't abandoned so many wounded soldiers in Magadan,

, why is there today's imperial meeting? Why is it so difficult for His Majesty?

The eyes of the civil and military ministers who attended the imperial meeting were unkind and contemptuous. Even Emperor Hirohito could not help but frown. He was obviously dissatisfied and displeased with his brother's unwillingness to stand alone in such an occasion.

He said: "Tell me! What do you have to say to me?"

Zai Ren is also desperate and insane. He knows very well that even if the negotiation succeeds, the empire will definitely pay an immeasurable price, and he is the sinner. After the situation calms down, whenever this matter is brought up, these gangs are bent on preventing him from turning over.

Those guys will definitely talk about themselves. This is a stain and shame in life. It will even become a weapon for political opponents to attack them at critical moments. In comparison, it is better not to negotiate!

Zai Ren said impassionedly: "Brother Emperor, gentlemen, since we have understood that the real intention of that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli is not to negotiate, but to take the opportunity to make the empire pay the price, then we cannot follow his plan.

The rhythm goes, and why don’t the wounded soldiers stranded in the port of Magadan commit suicide and die to show their loyalty to the empire?”

"On the contrary, they were just surviving, and became a handle for Tang Qiuli to blackmail the empire. What is even more intolerable is that these wounded soldiers distorted the facts and slandered the imperial army in newspapers. What they did was not worthy of being a soldier of the empire.

, is already a traitor to the empire, and is not worth any price the empire has to pay for it!"

Wow! The civil and military ministers were stunned and in disbelief. They looked at Zai Ren like a monster. They were completely shocked by what he said, "Stop! This is nonsense. Get rid of me immediately!" Emperor Hirohito was so angry that his eyebrows dropped.

He stood up, his face turned red, and he roared loudly, wanting to kick this unlucky guy to death. These words completely ruined his chance of making a comeback and regaining military power.

Zai Ren was stunned for a moment by the emperor's brother's words, but he still rubbed his neck unconvinced, "Attendant, please pull Zai Ren out!" Emperor Hirohito had a black line on his face, and he was about to go berserk.

, several attendants came up and took Zai Ren out of the venue.

"Noda Aiki, I leave this matter to you!" Emperor Hirohito, with a livid face, forced out a smile and said to Foreign Minister Yoshihiko Noda, and then left without looking back.

The civil and military ministers discussed in twos and threes and left the palace. Of course, Prince Zai Ren was the focus of discussion. From this moment on, Zai Ren's image in the minds of the big shots in Japan's military and political circles was completely ruined.

After receiving the order, Noda Yoshihiko did not dare to neglect and sent a telegram back to the German Ambassador to China Todmann overnight, saying that the Empire of Japan agreed to negotiate with Tang Qiuli on the issue of wounded soldiers in Magadan and would send important officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to serve as negotiators.

The location of the negotiation can be determined by Tang Qiuli.

Since taking on the task of communicating with the couriers between China and Japan, Todman has also been doubly careful. After receiving the telegram from Noda Yoshihiko, he immediately forwarded the original text to Tang Qiuli. Soon, he received the telegram from Tang Qiuli.

, just a simple sentence, "The negotiation location is set to be Fengtian in the Northeast!" The negotiation has been finalized. Regardless of whether the Japanese are willing or not, they have to come even if they hold their noses!

Emperor Hirohito and his civil and military ministers struggled to negotiate with Tang Qiuli over the Magadan injury issue. In Busan, a port city in the southern part of the Korean peninsula, General Tanaka Shinichi, commander of Japan's Korean garrison, was also dejected.

Sadly, after the order to withdraw across the entire line was issued, the Japanese troops who had been fighting for several months with Ma Chaoyang's troops of the Southeast Mobile Corps of the Independent Division on the Mokpo line quietly evacuated their positions under the cover of night and turned towards Busan.

For the soldiers of the Japanese and Korean garrison, being able to leave Mokpo, this nightmare-like place, is a kind of blessing to save a life. In a few months, the length is only more than a hundred kilometers and the width is only more than 30 kilometers.

On the Mokpo battlefield, how many of their comrades were buried, hundreds of thousands or even more. The artillery fire of the independent division troops, thousands of tanks, and bombers and fighter jets appearing in the sky at any time were all the nightmares and lingering fears of the Japanese soldiers!

None of the Japanese and Korean garrison troops that withdrew from Mokpo retained their intact structures. They were all beaten to pieces. Some divisions even had a full strength of 25,000 people. Now, only a few are left.

To 5,000 people, more than four-fifths of the soldiers remained on the Mokpo battlefield.

At the same time that the Japanese troops on the Mokpo front line began to evacuate, the Japanese troops on the Jeonju, Gwangju, Hadong, Masan, and Changwon front lines began to evacuate one after another and gathered in the direction of Busan. In this case, the lady commanded by Feng Jiwu

Twelve brigades of the Guan Garrison Corps rushed to the battlefield in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.

Because the division commander did not issue an order to attack Quanzhou, Feng Jiwu ordered his troops to use the strength of three brigades to encircle Quanzhou. The main force of the corps continued to move south, while he himself took a transport plane to get ahead of the troops.

Rush to the Korean Peninsula Campaign Headquarters in Mokpo.

Mokpo, Korean Peninsula Campaign Headquarters of the Independent Division. Tang Qiuquan has left Mokpo and commanded the fleet to sail at sea. In the headquarters, the highest commander is Ma Chaoyang. At this moment, Ma Chaoyang is listening to the report of Colonel Xu Guangqi, Chief of Staff of the Corps, "

Commander, according to the report from the forward troops, the Japanese troops who were confronting our regiment on the Mokpo line retreated one after another an hour ago, because there was no order from the division to conduct a full-scale attack, and the forward troops did not move!"

"In addition, our Corps' reconnaissance troops operating in the area from Jeonju to Changwon also sent intelligence. The Japanese troops stationed in the above-mentioned areas began to withdraw from the current defense area almost at the same time. Various signs indicate that the Japanese and Korean garrison troops are

We are about to run away, and the gathering place is in the direction of Busan, so we must run out to sea!"

Ma Chaoyang half-closed his eyes without any expression. Xu Guangqi rolled his eyes a few times and said in a rather seductive tone: "Commander, would you like to ask the division commander immediately to launch a full-line attack on the Japanese army? This is a rare opportunity!"

When the Japanese army evacuates hastily, launching an attack can disrupt the Japanese army's evacuation plan, take Busan in one fell swoop, cut off the Japanese army's retreat by sea, and catch a turtle in a jar!"
