Rise From Eight Hundred

Of course, at this point in time, Okabe Saburo was not interested in asking the name of the extremely tough Chinese officer in front of him.

The military ranks of the two sides are several levels apart! If he asks this, he will lose the value of the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Japanese Army!

So, if you don't want to lose the value, you can only continue to be criticized.

"Wait, Colonel, I remember there is a Chinese saying: It is a pleasure to have friends from afar. Invited by your commander, we have traveled hundreds of kilometers and have been driven away by you as soon as we got off the car. Isn't it a loss of the etiquette that your Chinese civilization attaches the most importance to?" Okabe Saburo suppressed his anger and stepped forward and said.

I can't leave, so I can only try to reason with Erganzi. Okabe Saburo's face was a little green

"Puff!" Tang Dao grinned and laughed.

"General Okabe, first of all, I have to correct a mistake of yours. Your study of Chinese culture is really not deep enough. When a friend comes from afar, the point is not the distance, but the friend. Let alone that our two countries are at war now, even in the past, do you think that you Japanese regard China as a friend? Or do I regard you Japanese as a friend?"

"The friendship between China and Japan is still very long-standing. The war now is a decision made by the top leaders of the two countries, and it is not something that you and I soldiers can save. I personally deeply regret this." Saburo Okabe tried to hold his breath and calm his blood pressure to prevent the blood vessels from rising sharply and bursting, and replied with a forced smile.嫫

"The so-called friendship is just your self-righteousness. If you insist on forcing it, it can be regarded as a master-servant friendship. Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, your country of Japan is just a tiny island on the coast of the East China Sea for China. If you want to be a vassal state, you have to kowtow three times and nine times in the letter of state, and it depends on the mood of the ruler at that time.

So, the word "friend" is too inappropriate. As the saying goes, friends come from afar, and General Okabe used it wrongly."

"You are talking nonsense." Okabe Saburo almost vomited blood because of the poisonous tongue of the guy in front of him.

It turns out that his great Japanese Empire has been just a vassal state of China since the Tang Dynasty, and it is not enough to be on par with the Chinese.

But he was unable to refute it. It seems that this seems to be the fact.

Rostav, who was not far away, exhaled a puff of blue smoke, and a deep smile appeared on his face.

This Chinese soldier in front of him is really interesting!嫫

Being tough all the time can only make people think that he is a vulgar warrior, but this man can pull out the history of a thousand years ago to respond to the specious arguments of the Japanese Army Lieutenant General, which makes people speechless and unable to refute.

Not everyone has such courage and wisdom. This young officer must be a strong man carefully selected by the Chinese side.

Anyone who only sees his age and despises him is the fool among the fools!

At this time, anyone who is not blind can see that although they have not yet reached the negotiation table, the negotiation has actually started from the moment the Chinese Army Colonel and Saburo Okabe met.

At present, China has won!

Because of the excellent performance of the young Chinese officer in front of him, Rostav suddenly became extremely interested in this completely business trip.

Shanshan Yuan asked him to travel hundreds of kilometers to be a witness in the negotiations, but in exchange for giving him special passes to all Krupp's trading companies in China, the trading companies were much more convenient to transport goods in the Japanese-occupied areas. Otherwise, he, the top figure in the Far East of Krupp, would not have been so bored to run to this mountain.

"Colonel, may I ask, is the negotiation plan discussed by your commander and our general Shanshan Yuan to let you, the colonel, humiliate our Great Japanese Empire? If so..." Okabe Saburo, whose eyes were black, now had some momentum of a Japanese lieutenant general.

"No, General Okabe may have misunderstood what I meant. I mean, you should use common sayings like "Don't hit a smiling person" and "The more courtesy, the less blame". After all, Chinese culture is too profound. We were born and raised here, but we can't guarantee that we can understand its essence!" Tang Dao said with a slight smile on his face and sighed.

Calm down! Calm down! Calm down again!

Okabe Saburo has been telling himself that this must be a carefully planned strategy by the Chinese side. They first sent a jerk to make him dizzy, and then they could have the upper hand in the next negotiation. It must be like this!

"Colonel, I think it's a waste of time for you and me to argue here. Let's go to the negotiation table to talk business first! I think your general in charge of negotiations is already waiting anxiously." Okabe Saburo simply stopped talking nonsense with Tang Dao and got straight to the point.

In fact, what he meant was that you, a little colonel, should stop talking nonsense. It's not your turn to negotiate. You are just a guide.

"Oh?" Tang Dao looked at the black-faced Japanese major general with a smile, and stretched out his hand to invite him, "Okay, the host follows the guest's wishes. Considering that General Okabe is exhausted and has run so far, even if you just sit down and drink a northwest wind, it is also the way of our army to entertain guests. Please." 嵫

I'll drink your legs! Okabe Saburo had never thought of cursing like this. The Chinese officer in front of him might have been a crosstalk performer under the overpass in Tianjin! How could he be so talkative!

With his head already swollen, Okabe Saburo simply didn't introduce the two Western bosses behind him to Tang Dao. He probably felt ashamed for being suppressed by the young Chinese colonel when they first met, so he thought about calming down first.

Tang Dao also pretended not to see it. He also didn't have much good feelings towards those Westerners who were bullying on Chinese soil.

Especially seeing so many tragedies happening on Chinese soil, the so-called international community became dumb, which made Tang Dao's attitude towards the Western world drop to the freezing point.

The negotiation site was actually not far from where we got off the car. It was a relatively flat area in front of the small village. There was a table and two wooden benches, and from the texture, it was basically nailed with wooden boards.

The entire negotiation site was extremely simple, and the bad attitude of the Chinese reception staff was enough to show how little China valued it. This surprised the knowledgeable Brigadier General Tian and Rostav.

Originally, they thought that they would prepare a farmyard and make a few cups of tea!

Good guy, the previous words of drinking northwest wind turned out to be literal!

The cavalry squadron led by Saburo Okabe was waiting around the convoy, but the 100-man special forces team wanted to follow. The Chinese side did not make it too difficult for them, and let them follow until they were 200 meters away from the negotiation location before forbidding them to move forward.

They were even given a 400-meter-wide area for them to guard in their own way. Even if they habitually took out a single engineer shovel to dig a simple trench, no one cared.

Although the stingy old man did not send a senior official to participate in person, for the security of this negotiation, the stingy old man was not stingy. He directly sent an infantry regiment to deploy defenses in the mountainous area 2 miles away from the negotiation site, and there were also 4 75 mountain cannons, plus most of the guard battalion brought by Brigade Commander Geng of the 17th Division. Not to mention the simple trenches of the Japanese army, even digging holes was not possible!

The guard battalion of the 17th Division set up two heavy machine guns and 8 light machine guns in a line 150 meters away from the Japanese army. If the Japanese really wanted to play with fire, the more than 300 elite soldiers of the 17th Division would not be inferior to them.

Both China and Japan have put their villains in front, but in fact, for the two Western witnesses, this is more about the situation than the actual significance.

If the Japanese open fire, they will die, and if the Chinese open fire, it will be like shooting themselves in the foot. It is very likely that the German Empire, which has not yet completely turned to the Japanese, will be pushed to the Japanese side. The price is even greater than the loss of a lieutenant general of the Japanese army.

In front of the negotiation table, except for the officers participating in the negotiations on both sides and Brigadier General Tian and Rostav, no other soldiers entered.

With Shimizu Hideki and two major staff officers who can be regarded as confidants of the General Staff, Okabe Saburo walked into the extremely simple negotiation venue, and his face changed.

It was not because the negotiation location was simple, but because there was no one at the so-called negotiation table.

"Colonel, what do you mean?" Okabe Saburo asked angrily.

Brigadier General Tian and Rostav, who were originally calm, looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

There was no negotiator of the same level on the Chinese side, which really made people think about it.

Could it be that this is a sign of tearing up the agreement? Are the names of the German Empire and the Roman Empire so worthless to the Chinese?

Of course, the Japanese were more panicked than the two Western bosses. The two majors turned pale on the spot.

Originally, they were just accompanying their superiors on a business trip, but they ended up losing their heads. Anyone would be scared, right?

"General Okabe, please. Please, both of you!" Tang Dao pointed to the opposite side and signaled to the few people: "Everyone, please be patient for the time being."

Okabe Saburo was slightly stunned. What does this mean?

"Let me introduce myself. I am Tang Dao. I am the head of the Four-Line Regiment under the 23rd Group Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. For this negotiation, my theater headquarters appointed me as the deputy head of the Chinese negotiation team."

Okabe Naozaburo was stunned.

Shimizu Jiro was stunned.

The two majors were also stunned.

This man, after the battle in southeastern Shanxi, has a reputation that has shaken the entire North China Front Command!

The battle report that Yamamoto sent back to the headquarters clearly stated that the 683rd Brigade of the 80th Group Army of China blocked the way of their 2nd Mixed Brigade, while the 4th Regiment attacked their rear wing.

It was just an infantry regiment, one attacking and one defending. With almost the same number of troops, no one would believe that the 4th Regiment could pose a big enough threat to the 2nd Mixed Brigade, but the final fact shocked the senior officials of the front army headquarters. It took only one day and one night for the 4th Regiment to completely defeat the rear wing of the 2nd Mixed Brigade.

That was a defense line composed of 16 mountain guns, 10 infantry guns and 4,000 infantry. Under normal circumstances, it could attack a Chinese infantry division, but it didn't defend against the attack of a Chinese infantry regiment!

That almost shows that it was not the 683rd Brigade that really defeated the 2nd Mixed Brigade, but the 4th Regiment.

How could the name of the regiment commander Tang Dao not re-enter the vision of senior Japanese generals?

"So, you are Tang Dao. I have heard of your name for a long time!" Okabe Saburo tried his best to suppress his inner shock. "Then, may I ask where is the head of your negotiation team?"

"Commander Geng was in the mountain wind today and felt unwell. He entrusted me with full responsibility for the negotiations. General Okabe, rest assured, if we can reach an agreement that both of us agree on, our theater headquarters will also stamp and confirm it. Moreover, there are two distinguished guests here, and we will never easily break our promises!" Tang Dao expressed his position in a very formal manner for the first time.

"Okay! General Tian and I believe in the character of Colonel Tang and the integrity of Chinese soldiers. General Okabe, please start!" Rostav suddenly interrupted with a smile.

Saburo Okabe, who originally wanted to argue over the unequal negotiation specifications, saw that Rostav had expressed his position like this, so he could only follow this person's words and introduced Tang Dao by the way: "This is Krupp from the German Empire. The company’s top executive, Mr. Rostav, is General Tian, ​​the commander of the Roman Empire Concession in Jincheng.”

Krupp? Tang Dao narrowed his eyes slightly, and was rarely surprised.

Of course he knows the name of Krupp. With the ambition of the German Empire, this arms dealer will expand into a behemoth in the future. It will have 200,000 employees and can manufacture various light weapons, cannons, armored vehicles, tanks and even submarines. Super arms manufacturing factory. Hey

Since human history entered the era of thermal weapons, the super artillery weighing 1,400 tons and the shells alone weighed 1 ton was the company's masterpiece.

But these were not the reasons that surprised Tang Dao, who was tenacious. Instead, the weapons order for the Northeastern Army he held in his hand seemed to belong to Krupp Company.

This is when I meet the boss’s bastard!

Although Saburo Okabe just said that the blue-eyed man holding a pipe and wearing a suit was a senior executive of Krupp Company, but based on the order of his introduction, what kind of commercial company executive has a higher status than a concession commander?

Although the Roman Empire performed extremely poorly in World War II, at this time, it was a serious European power, the little brother of the German Empire, and it was still a brother who had not completely put on the same pants.

Tang Dao instantly understood that this Jubi was one of the core members of Krupp Company.

He was originally going to deal with this person in the future, and as this person seemed to be speaking on his side just now, Tang Dao's tone was naturally much gentler. He smiled lightly and stretched out his hand: "Two distinguished guests, please take a seat. Previously, because of Gang The general talked too much and didn't get to know the two distinguished guests. Please don't blame Tang Dao for his neglect."

Then he turned to greet Xia Dayu who was waiting at the side: "Hurry up and serve tea to these two distinguished guests. Serve good tea! Just use the tea set sent by the commander."

For this negotiation, the stingy old man took a set of exquisite tea sets and a bag of fine tea leaves from his inner palace, so as not to be ridiculed by Westerners as a second war zone bumpkin.

The environment may be worse, but the tea sets must be of higher quality. This is the philosophy of a stingy old man.

Tang Dao had already planned to run away with the tea set after the negotiation, without giving the stingy old man a chance to come back to him.

Even if you want it, who doesn't throw a few teacups to express their side's anger during negotiations?

Rostav and Brigadier Tian looked at each other with strange expressions.

It's nothing more than trying to suppress one's desire to laugh! Hey

Really, the young Chinese officer in front of me is really a wonderful person! It was different from the Chinese people they had ever encountered.

He showed enough respect to both of them without being arrogant or condescending, and he also skillfully and humorously passed the blame to Saburo Okabe, whose face looked as if he had eaten a lump of heat. The word 'talkative' couldn't have been used more brilliantly.

A group of Japanese headed by Saburo Okabe really wanted to rush up and beat up Tang Dao. If they really want to talk too much, who the hell talks more than you! You've been beeping since the moment we met, as if you were afraid that others wouldn't know how awesome you are.

But Tang Dao is really awesome. A man who can't even defeat Fujiwara Sentio. No matter how powerful the Japanese are, no one dares to test the sword with their own bodies. At least at this time, they can only hold their anger in their hearts.

Also, don't you dare to take advantage of those two people? Are you not even planning to prepare tea?

The Japanese think too much. Tang Dao is not the Chinese they think of.

Xia Dayu brought the fragrant Yuqian green tea to the two Westerners, but there was nothing in front of all the Japanese who were already seated. Hey

I'm a DER, I'm here to negotiate, not to invite them as guests. Tang Tuanzuo never comes here to engage in such nonsense.

The Chinese people really don’t regard bean buns as solid food! Okabe Saburo's face was almost purple with anger.

"Baga! Colonel Tang, you are going too far." Qingshui Xiucheng, who was sitting next to Saburo Okabe, slapped the table and stood up, looking at Tang Dao angrily.

At that moment, the Japanese major's face was a little distorted, perhaps not just because of anger.

Instead, this slap was so painful that it was like slapping a hedgehog.

He forgot that the wooden board used as a negotiating table was so new that it had not even been planed with a plane, so he had no idea how many burrs there were.

Didn’t you see that Tang Tuanzuo was smart enough not to bang the table to express his displeasure? Hey

These are all prepared for silly guys who like to slap the table.
