In fact, Kang Maode had already secretly communicated with Zhong Yi before this.
Zhong Yi did not make any pretense, and directly gave Commodus a clear bottom line, that is, the main force of the Sassoon Guards could evacuate the Shanghai Concession at the request of the Japanese government.
¡°But the Japanese government cannot have the final say on where to evacuate.
In a word, Zhong Yi wants to transfer the main force of the Sassoon Guards to Yinjiang.
But Zhong Yi also knew very well that if he put this suggestion directly to the Concession Industry Bureau or the ministers of Western countries in Shanghai, it would definitely be rejected.
??The Western powers are not living creatures.
They will not do things that are not beneficial to themselves.
Therefore, Zhong Yi cannot raise it himself, but Kang Maode can only raise it.
¡°And Commodus couldn¡¯t bring it up without any reason, he had to wait for the opportunity.
And now was the best time to put forward this suggestion, and Commodus lost no time in putting it forward.
After listening to what Commodus said, Freud nodded and said: "I completely agree with this. The Japanese are like a young man who has just grown up, impulsive and irritable, so we absolutely cannot confront him head-on, but at the same time You can¡¯t do exactly what he wants, otherwise his tail will be raised to the sky and it will be more difficult to deal with next time.¡±
French Minister Mathews said: "Commodus, just tell me, what should we do?"
"It's very simple." Commodus smiled slightly and continued, "Except for leaving a few armed personnel, send the main force of the Sassoon Guard out of the country."
"Giving gifts to the scene? Doesn't that mean sending them into the tiger's mouth?" Freud said, "You just said that we cannot offend the Chinese government to death. I think it makes sense, but the Chinese in the Sassoon Guards Sending veteran gifts out of the country is contrary to the original intention of not offending the Chinese government."
"It's not a violation." Commodus said with a smile.
"Doesn't it violate?" Floyd was stunned for a moment and said blankly, "This is impossible. Even if we made an agreement with the Japanese government in advance not to use force against Chinese veterans who left Shanghai, I'm afraid the Japanese government would not The contract will be fulfilled, but the Chinese veterans have just left Shanghai and the Japanese army will resort to force."
After a short pause, Freud continued: "Commodus, you don't think that just more than 5,000 Chinese veterans can break through the Japanese-occupied areas and return to the southwest under the rule of the Kuomintang, right?"
"Of course this is impossible. If we take the land route, these more than 5,000 Chinese veterans will not be able to get out of the suburbs of Shanghai, let alone penetrate the Japanese-occupied areas." Commodus shook his head, and then said, "It's just that , No one has stipulated that these more than 5,000 Chinese veterans can only travel by land, right?"
"Not by land?" Floyd's eyes lit up and he suddenly said, "By sea?"
"Yes, sea route." Kang Maode said, "Shanghai is only separated from the Yinjiang River by a narrow sea. Using naval ships, you can go back and forth in one day. If the naval ships and merchant ships of various countries stationed in Shanghai move together, it will only take one day. One batch is enough to transport 5,000 Chinese veterans to Yinjiang, so all aspects can be explained."
Li Qimo said: "But the question is, will the Japanese government agree to such conditions?"
"It's not up to them." Commodus looked coldly and said in a deep voice, "If the Japanese don't agree, then let the Sassoon Guards continue to stay in the public concession. Anyway, we are not in a hurry. They are the ones who are worried. Is not it?"
After a pause, Commodus added: "If the Japanese government insists on going to war, then let them go to war."
Richmore, Joseph MacDonald, Freud and others all nodded lightly when they heard this. With the current situation of the Japanese government, it is already very difficult to start a war with the Chinese government. If they want to start a full-scale war with the United States, Britain, France and other countries, unless they The emperor was crazy, otherwise he probably wouldn't have made such a stupid decision.
At that moment, Sassoon signaled the butler to invite the Japanese into the conference room.
Within a moment, Okamoto Yoshimasa and Shimada Shozo walked into the conference room again.
Okamoto Jimasa came in and asked: "How is it? I believe you have already discussed a feasible result?"
"Of course." Floyd nodded happily and added, "We unanimously decided that in addition to retaining 500 troops in the Sassoon Guards, all the remaining more than 5,000 Chinese veterans will be sent out of the country as gifts."
The Sassoon Guards will retain five hundred troops, which is a bit unexpected.
But for the Japanese government, this condition is not unacceptable.
At that moment, Okamoto Ji nodded and said: "Yo Xi, the big dayThe Empire greatly appreciates the wise decision you have made. "
"Consul General Okamoto, please don't rush to praise me in advance." Floyd waved his hand and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Of course, of course." Okamoto Jimasaichi said solemnly, "General Director, please continue, I am all ears."
Floyd said: "We have decided to send gifts to Chinese veterans other than 500 people out of the country, but where to send them and how to send them away must be decided by us."
"What do you mean?" Okamoto Jisheng's face darkened and he asked sullenly, "According to the General Director, do you still plan to escort these more than 5,000 Chinese veterans to leave Shanghai?"
"That's exactly what happened." Floyd said, "In order to ensure their safety, we decided to use warships and armed merchant ships to transport them out of Shanghai, and then transport them to the nearby Yinjiang River."
"What are you talking about?" Okamoto Ji's face immediately fell and he said angrily, "You want to send these more than 5,000 Chinese veterans to Yinjiang? No, this is absolutely not possible!"
Unless Okamoto Jimasa is crazy, it is absolutely impossible for him to agree to this condition.
Because Zhong Yi is intensively engaged in economic and military construction in Yinjiang, if the Concession Industry Bureau is allowed to send more than 5,000 Chinese veterans to Yinjiang, Zhong Yi will not be able to gain more strength?
Although there are more than 5,000 veterans, Yinjiang is not necessarily impregnable.
But there is no doubt that with the addition of these more than 5,000 Chinese veterans, the difficulty of the Japanese army's attack on Yinjiang will be greatly increased, and the casualties of the Japanese army will also be greatly increased.
If he dares to agree to such conditions, then his work as the Consul General in China will probably be over.
At that moment, Okamoto Ji Zheng said with a livid face: "Your Excellency, General Director, I hope you can show sincerity and have constructive negotiations with us instead of raising unreasonable conditions."
"It's a pity." Floyd said forcefully, "This is our final condition."
After a pause, Freud continued: "If your country insists on refusing, then please let your army enter the public concession and give it a try." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
