Predator Reborn

;The shock of the US White House

Japanese Chief of Staff Kanji Ishihara, as the negotiator, had just stepped out of the cabin after a long flight. News about Lieutenant General Sakai Ichiro's failure in the first round of negotiations reached his ears.

Seeing General Umezu Mijiro coming to greet him at the airport, Ishihara Wanji didn't make any greetings. As soon as he got into the car, he asked Umezu Mijiro next to him.[]

"Your Excellency, Commander, how are Sakai-kun's negotiations going in detail? Did Sakai-kun send you a specific telegram? Report on the entire negotiation process."

"Yes..." When he got to the point, General Umezu Mijiro's brows immediately wrinkled and he answered affirmatively.

"However, Mr. Sakai cannot be blamed for the failure of the entire negotiation. After all, Mr. Sakai is not a professional negotiator and does not have the qualities that a negotiator should have. More importantly, through Mr. Sakai's telegram, I discovered that China

The various negotiation conditions proposed by the government are really too high for us, and can be called a lion's mouth..."

After saying that, General Umezu Mijiro's eyes were fixed on the Chief of Staff in front of him, waiting for Kanji Ishihara's answer. After all, in his answer just now, he showed his respect for his old partner Sakai Naka in almost every aspect.

Will maintain meaning…

Surprisingly, as the commander, Ishihara Kanji was not angry at General Umezu Mijiro's answer. Instead, he said thoughtfully.

'Such a result in the first round of negotiations is what I expected. It is indeed not the responsibility of Lieutenant General Sakai. Liu Hua, as the number one confidant of the Japanese Empire, has his excellence in every aspect.

.....I think back when he and I had confrontations on the North China battlefield, in almost every confrontation, no matter how much advantage we had, there was only one result in the end, and that was to end in failure... What's more,

This negotiation was initiated by the Empire of Japan when it did not have any advantage. From this point of view alone, the Empire of Japan is already weaker in terms of momentum. "

"The lesson learned by the Commander-in-Chief is... Judging from the information sent back by Mr. Sakai, it is indeed very difficult for this negotiation to succeed.

**

Our opponent Liu Hua will not easily give up the benefits we have obtained, so we must be prepared for a protracted war..." Regarding Ishihara Kanji's failure to hold his partner accountable, the face of General Mijiro Umezu was filled with anger.

Still, he showed a grateful look at the first moment and quickly spoke in agreement.

"Hmm..." Ishihara smiled and nodded silently, and the solemn look on his face became more and more intense.

However, this look only lasted for less than five minutes. Ishihara's smiling face was slowly enveloped by a look of determination. Then, facing General Umezu Mijiro in front of him, he looked firm.

said.

"Having said that, I also know that this negotiation must be successful. However, for the entire Imperial Army in China, for the victory in the Pacific battlefield, and for the future of the Japanese Empire. No matter how high the price is, we must achieve the final outcome.

Victory. Therefore, I hope that in the next time, Commander, you will do everything possible to assist me and achieve victory in the entire negotiation for the sake of the entire empire..."

"Ha Yi, please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, I will live up to His Majesty the Emperor and your trust in your humble position..." General Umezu Mijiro replied with a serious face.

After a brief reflection, he smiled at Ishihara and continued to speak.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, in this case, let us first send you the conditions proposed by the Chinese government in the first round of negotiations. Let's study it together... for the next formal negotiations, we will know ourselves and the enemy..."

"Yoshi, let's do it like this... We will go directly to your headquarters. After reading the information sent back by Sakai-kun, we can take a rest..." Ishihara Wanji replied with a look of approval.

"Ha Yi...go to the headquarters immediately..."

At the same time, the whereabouts of Japanese Chief of Staff Ishihara Kanji had just appeared in Wuhan, China. Intelligence agents from various countries hidden in China were like kittens smelling fish, and they all rushed towards Wuhan City, trying to detect Ishihara Kanji.

The real purpose of coming to China….

And at this moment, perhaps because of Liu Hua's deliberate action, the news that China and Japan were about to negotiate for the withdrawal of 600,000 Japanese troops in China also spread like wildfire and began to be transmitted inexplicably in Wuhan City...

In less than a day, news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Wuhan that Ishihara Wanji was preparing to negotiate with the Chinese government...

Suddenly, letters of intelligence, like snowflakes, flew to the intelligence agencies of various European countries...

In the White House of the United States, the current President of the United States, Roosevelt, is sitting in his wheelchair with a frown on his face at this moment, listening to the Chief of Staff's report on various problems faced by Allied soldiers on various battlefields...

"The Pacific Battlefield... I really didn't expect that Japan, as an island country, has such a strong war potential. Facing the joint attack of millions of Allied troops and a large number of fleets, it can still maintain the original defense line, making the entire battle situation...

We have to stop... It seems that after the Pearl Harbor incident, we still underestimated the true strength of the Japanese..." As the Chief of Staff finished his report, President Roosevelt, who had already clenched his fists, couldn't help but sigh.

He took a breath and said helplessly.

Seeing the vicissitudes of life in front of him, the disabled president seemed to have aged several years after years of hard work in the war. General Marshall, the chief of staff, seemed to have been prepared and answered calmly.

"Don't worry, Mr. President, this counterattack did not achieve a decisive victory. However, through this counterattack, we also learned about Japan's specific strength in the entire Pacific Theater... Judging from the current situation, the entire Pacific Theater,

In less than half a year at most, it will end with the final victory of the Allies..."

Hearing Marshall's answer, Roosevelt felt as if he had discovered a new world. His face, which had been solemn just now, immediately flashed with excitement. He quickly asked: "General Marshall, tell me the specific basis for your judgment..."

"Okay, Mr. President..." As he spoke, Marshall had already opened the notes he had prepared.

"Through this counterattack, we clearly know that the specific strength and fleet strength of the Japanese army deployed on the entire Pacific battlefield can be said with certainty that it is on par with our Allied forces. Therefore, as long as we can continue to attack the enemy within half a year,

If two main fleets are mobilized at one time and 500,000 troops join the Pacific battlefield, we will have an absolute advantage. At that time, I promise that we will end the Pacific War in the shortest possible time and annihilate all Japanese troops in the entire Pacific battlefield...

"Under Roosevelt's expectant gaze, Marshall replied with a heroic look.

"Two fleets and half a million troops are not a difficult thing for the entire Allied Powers..." Roosevelt looked much more relaxed and said with approval.

However, just for a moment, his brows furrowed again and he continued to ask.

"Marshall, have you ever thought that in half a year, we can mobilize our troops, and Japan can also mobilize its troops... If Japan also mobilizes its troops, then wouldn't the suggestion you just made have no meaning...

"

"Your Excellency, you don't know this...According to intelligence investigation, after years of fighting, Japan's domestic soldiers are close to depletion. If you want to recruit another 500,000 troops within half a year, it will be almost

Impossible. As for the other main forces of the Japanese army, they are either dragged on the Nanyang battlefield or dragged on the Chinese battlefield. There is no possibility of being mobilized... So, regarding this issue, please rest assured, President...

." Admiral Marshall replied with a relaxed expression.

"Great... General Marshall, today you finally let me hear something happy. I suggest that for this happy event, we must have a good toast tonight..." Maybe he was influenced by Marshall's mood.

Affected, Roosevelt's solemn face was finally enveloped in a smile, and he said with a smile...

"Your Excellency the President is right, you should indeed have a good drink..."

However, things went against expectations. Just as the laughter of the two people rang out in the office at the same time, a rush of footsteps reached their ears. Following closely behind, the slightly anxious figure of Major General Roscoe, the leader of the Central Intelligence Group.

, appeared at the door of the office...

Before President Roosevelt could speak, Major General Roscoe's voice reached their ears. The smiles on their faces stopped abruptly...

"Your Excellency the President, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, something happened... This is the latest information just sent from the Chinese theater... China and Japan are preparing for peace talks..."

"China and Japan are in peace talks...Major General Roscoe, did I hear it correctly...I think this is the biggest joke I have heard in my life..." Chief of Staff Marshall said with a smile on his face. Because in his

In his eyes, relying on the hatred accumulated over a long period of time between China and Japan, unless the entire war ends with the final defeat of one side, there is no possibility of any peace talks at all...

"Chief of Staff, this is not a joke, this is a fact... This negotiation was initiated by Japan... In addition, Japanese Chief of Staff Kanji Ishihara, as the Japanese negotiator, has arrived in Wuhan, China. The entire negotiation,

It may be opened at any time..." Major General Roscoe replied firmly...

"How is that possible?" Seeing the expression on Major General Roscoe's face, President Roosevelt and Chief of Staff Marshall showed shocked looks on their faces almost at the same time, and asked in silence...
