Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 303 Blackmail and Blackmail

As a senior commander of the Japanese army, Tashiro Anichiro was very capable. He grasped the crux of the matter immediately. Tang Qiuli did not give an order to attack the surrounded Harayama troops, which proved that he still had scruples in his heart and was afraid of Nanjing.

The government is looking for trouble because it doesn't want to get things done, and there is no room for change.

He also saw through Tang Qiuli's intention of sending troops to destroy his rear area in order to break the imperial army's encirclement of Peiping. He did not believe the lies of the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance and the Shandong bandits. That was the idea of ​​an idiot.

It was indeed Tang Qiuli's move to add another fire to Tashiro's already smoking butt. He was a man who never let go of any opportunity or advantage.

When most of the Japanese troops in North China were attracted to the vicinity of Wanping, the defenses everywhere were extremely empty. Tang Qiuli immediately ordered Qiuquan's special operations detachment to disguise themselves as bandits and attack various garrison points of the Japanese army.

He also told Qiuquan that the soldiers must speak with northeastern or Shandong accents to muddy the waters and mess up things. Even if the Japanese military later used the "Tanggu Agreement" to talk about it, it would be unsubstantiated and they would suffer the consequences.

These strongholds had been operated by the Japanese for many years. It was by relying on these strongholds that the Japanese army gradually formed a situation of surrounding Peking on three sides. His order to the special operations detachment was to rob, burn, and demolish them all.

This is the foothold of the Japanese. Now that your old home has been destroyed, let’s see how you can rely on to blockade Peiping.

The special operations detachment is a veteran in this kind of work. They sneak into the stronghold, wipe the necks of the few Japanese, burn them all, and then retreat easily with the loot. The few traitors who came out to report the news

, he was let go on purpose, just to leave a living witness to prove that it was the Northeast Anti-Resistance Federation and bandits from Shandong who did these things.

Tang Qiuli's last fire burned Tashiro Anichiro to death. His most urgent thing was to solve the incident of Yuan Shanjin being surrounded as soon as possible. When he was anxious, it was much more advantageous for him to raise conditions for Tang Qiuli.

The diplomatic note from Amiichiro Tashiro quickly arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government. It was like a bombshell. When the people of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs saw it, they panicked and were dumbfounded.

In the note, Anichiro Tashiro threatened that the Nationalist Government troops in North China are now openly violating the "Tanggu Agreement" signed by China and Japan and wantonly provoking the Imperial Japanese Army. Commander of the 29th Army and Commander of the North China ** Division

Tang Qiuli, under the guise of an exercise, openly surrounded our Imperial Japanese Army troops for five days.

In response to this blatant provocation, our Imperial Japanese Army's troops stationed in North China reserve the right to counterattack. All consequences arising therefrom will be borne by you. I have reported this matter to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan and are waiting for you.

Holy Judgment.

Your government should severely punish those who wantonly provoke and cause disputes. Tang Qiuli, commander of the North China Army Division, should give a satisfactory explanation to the Empire of Japan. Otherwise, our country will not hesitate to resort to force.

Tashiro Anichiro's diplomatic note smelled of gunpowder and was full of explicit threatening language. His grasp of the mentality of Chinese officials was quite accurate. This was also based on the fact that Japan's unreasonable demands in China have never failed over the years.

past results.

Officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have you ever seen such a battle? That Tang Qiuli doesn't want his head anymore? He dares to touch the tiger's butt of the Japanese. Can we afford to offend the Japanese?

These people, like holding a time bomb, quickly presented Tashiro's diplomatic note to the Chairman. None of us can make the decision on such a major matter, so we should leave it to the Chairman.

After reading Tashiro's explosive diplomatic note, the Chairman became furious: "Mother Xipi! This Tang Qiuli is so bold that he always gets into trouble, goes against my teachings, and conflicts with the Japanese."

After getting angry, the Chairman calmed down when he saw the pale-faced Foreign Ministry officials eagerly waiting for instructions.

He knew that the North China garrison held military exercises. The Japanese were not fools, waiting to be surrounded. There must be something fishy here. Let’s not rush to conclusions. If we retreat ten thousand steps, even if there is a Japanese army, we will be surrounded.

Tang Qiuli was surrounded by the exercise area, so why didn't the Japanese deal with it on the spot?

Instead, they went around in a big circle and brought this matter to the government. The Japanese must have been unable to do anything to Tang Qiuli, so they thought of asking the government to come forward and force him to take a step back. Now it seems that Tang Qiuli must have taken advantage of the Japanese.

Cheap.

According to the usual practice of the Japanese, they would look for trouble even if they had nothing to do. This time, Tashiro Anichiro, the supreme commander of the Japanese garrison in North China, was forced to come up with a way to suppress Tang Qiuli through the national government. He used Tang Qiu's

There's no way around it!

We can't just do whatever the Japanese say. When Tang Qiuli comes to find out, this is purely a deliberate rumor and slander by the Japanese army. The government can only stare at it, confused, and can't hand it over at all. Besides, this is

The matters between you Japanese and Tang Qiuli are still yours to deal with.

He looked up at the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and replied orally: Our government attaches great importance to what Mr. Tashiro mentioned in the note. We will send important officials to North China to investigate the matter in the near future. If it is true, Tang Qiuli will be severely punished.

punish.

Before the arrival of the important officials of our government, Tang Qiuli, commander of the 29th Army and commander of the North China ** Division, fully representing our government, held preliminary consultations with Mr. Tashiro on this matter and reached a satisfactory result to you.

If the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs found the treasure, they immediately rushed back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, formed a diplomatic document as quickly as possible, and airmailed it to the Japanese Consulate General in Peiping.

After sending away the officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Chairman smiled bitterly and shook his head. He used a little trick. It was you, Tang Qiuli, who caused the trouble. It is up to you to end it yourself. Anyway, you never suffer when dealing with the Japanese.

, as for sending central officials to investigate, let the Japanese wait!

The Chairman is now certain that Tang Qiuli must have collaborated with the Japanese. There is really nothing that can be done against this audacious Tang Qiuli, and the Japanese cannot do anything against this guy. With him in North China, the Japanese are very honest and will not deal with his replacement.

Of course, the Generalissimo was reluctant to kill the general who was trying to stabilize the north.

The only worry was not to make the matter a big deal. He wanted He Yingqin to issue an order to Tang Qiuli in the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs, ordering him to report the situation truthfully. On second thought, he decided to handle the matter personally, and He Jingzhi interfered.

Come in, maybe there will be extraneous consequences.

After receiving the reply to Tashiro from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tang Qiu was very happy. The old man was really cunning. He kicked the ball back with one kick and kept spinning it around. Tashiro still had to deal with himself, a central official?

I don’t know that by the time of the Year of the Monkey, Susumu Harayama and those thousands of Japanese soldiers will have long since become corpses.

After receiving the telegram personally sent by the Chairman of the Standing Committee, Tang Qiuli knew that the tricks he had done could not be hidden from the scheming and powerful man of the Republic of China. However, in the telegram, the old man did not get angry or accuse himself.

He just asked if the situation was under control. Tang Qiuli understood the meaning immediately. As long as you don't go overboard and make things get out of hand, I don't have time to care about your business, my own ass, my own.

Go and wipe it clean, do not engage in armed conflict with the Japanese, and do not let the situation in North China get out of control. This is my bottom line.

Tang Qiuli couldn't help but admire the old man's skill. With a slight push, he took no responsibility but took control of the situation. He didn't want to hide the actual situation, so he drafted a telegram overnight and reported everything that happened near Wanping to Nanjing in detail.

Not long after the telegram was sent, the chairman of the committee responded quickly. The telegram was very simple, with only a few words: "Be fully aware of the situation, have a sense of proportion, and have full authority to deal with it."

Yes, the old man tacitly allowed himself to play this game with the Japanese, and was just waiting for the Japanese to take action.

Anichiro Tashiro received the reply from Nanjing from the Consulate General. His face was livid with anger. He tore the reply into pieces and scolded the Chairman, calling him an old cunning man, a despicable Chinaman, etc. He gave full play to his

I learned the advantages and specialties of Japanese men being able to curse.

Tashiro could only use this method to vent his anger. In the end, he had to deal with Tang Qiuli, who gave him endless headaches, was helpless, and hated him to the bone.

Regarding Nanjing sending people to investigate, Tashiro thought, this is simply an insult to my IQ. How many days can my soldiers wait for you? I'm afraid that by then the investigation will be clear, and my soldiers will be hungry and thirsty.

die.

Tashiro, who was in Tianjin, had no choice but to designate his chief of staff Nishu Murakami as the plenipotentiary representative to negotiate the matter with Tang Qiuli.

In order to reflect the principle of equality between the two parties in the negotiation, Tang Qiuli sent Chief of Staff Feng Jiwu as the plenipotentiary representative of the North China garrison.

During the first negotiation, the two sides broke up unhappy. The conditions proposed by the Japanese were rude and arrogant. They immediately provided the Japanese soldiers with abundant food and drinking water and asked Tang Qiuli to withdraw his troops immediately and restore the previous situation.

Tang Qiuli told Feng Jiwu that we were not afraid of the delay for a few days, but the Japanese were worried. As a kidnapped slave, they didn't even understand any rules. No wonder the Japanese always suffered.

Tang Qiuli decided to light another fire and set up a large pot at the forward position surrounding the Japanese army. The aroma of meat drifted through the breeze into the nostrils of the Japanese soldiers who had been without water and food for several days, and whose horses had been eaten clean.

The hungry Japanese soldiers were in a suicidal mood. Listening to the constant sounds of eating and drinking coming from the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side, looking at the dark muzzles of the guns, they greeted His Majesty the Emperor's female relatives countless times in their hearts.

Tashiro recently received a telegram from Susumu Harayama, claiming that dozens of soldiers have lost their lives due to hunger and thirst, and the situation is getting worse. If Mr. Tashiro cannot solve the problem, Susumu Harayama is willing to follow Badalhu Jun's example.

, leading a team to break out of the encirclement and making a suicidal charge is better than waiting to die here.

It can also reflect the dignity of the Japanese Empire's samurai. It's just how Tashiro will explain this matter to the base camp. Tashiro almost vomited blood. This is a naked threat. You force me, and Tang Qiuli also forces me. If there is a way,

Can I worry about my hair turning gray now?

He confessed to Xishu Murakami that he had been tricked, and he directly asked the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli to make some conditions.

The second consultation was held as scheduled. Feng Jiwu slowly presented the conditions offered by the military commander. Xishu Murakami almost vomited blood on the spot. Stars were flying in front of his eyes and his ears were buzzing. He stared in disbelief.

Feng Jiwu.

Feng Jiwu smiled and smoked a cigarette, harmless to humans and animals, with an innocent face, and looked at Xishu Murakami with sympathetic eyes.
