After the inauguration ceremony, there was a grand welcome dinner.
The welcome dinner was held at the newly restored Japanese Navy Club.
After the brief ceremony, the envoys and diplomats from various countries who were invited to the dinner, as well as officers from the Japanese Army's Central China Front and Central China Dispatch Force, went to the Navy Club.
Cherev also came to the Navy Club with Stilwell.
The dinner followed a Western dinner ceremony. Dozens of long tables were scattered in the hall, each of which could seat twenty people.
Stilwell, as the U.S. military attache to China, and Chelev, as the Soviet minister to China, were invited to sit at the main table. As the commander, Shanshan Yuan took the seat of honor at the main table.
Halfway through the dinner, a group of reporters were allowed into the hall for impromptu interviews.
This was deliberately arranged by Shan Shanyuan in order to reverse the negative impact caused by the temporary establishment of the 79th Division on the Japanese army.
Because before Shan Shanyuan arrived in Shanghai, Shigeto Chiaki sent a telegram to Shan Shanyuan, claiming that the remnants of the temporary 79th Division had been trapped in Nantong City and would be annihilated soon. Shanshanyuan thought, the temporary 79th Division A few hundred remnant soldiers of the 19th Division were surrounded by a detachment. How could they be so lucky
Therefore, Shanshan Yuan wanted to take the opportunity of the dinner party to reveal the news.
Compared with Matsui Iwane, Sugimoto Yuan is better at using the weapon of public opinion and building momentum.
A female reporter with long fiery red hair walked up to Shan Shanyuan, raised her camera to Shan Shanyuan and pressed the camera shutter continuously. Shan Shanyuan tilted her head in cooperation, with a smile on her face. However, he suffered a serious head injury while participating in the Russo-Japanese War in his early years, and his right eyelid was always drooped, so this smile looked very sinister.
The female reporter took a few photos and then said: "I am Selina, the New York Times war correspondent in China. I would like to ask your Excellency the general a question. Isn't the Japanese government afraid that it will invade China so unscrupulously and massacre innocent civilians? International sanctions? Or does the Japanese government simply ignore the existence of international law?"
Shan Shanyuan took a deep look at the female reporter in front of him. Not only did this female reporter have long fiery red hair, she also had a beautiful snow-white face, but the most attractive thing was her tall and hot figure. He was both An old man who is almost sixty years old can't help but feel excited when he sees this female reporter.
But Shanshan Yuan is not fascinated by beauty.
After sorting out his words, Shanshan Yuan said: "First of all, I want to correct one thing. Our Japanese government has never invaded China. Our Japanese government has always respected the Chinese government. But what I want to say is that we live together on the earth. Human beings Our common interests are higher than national interests. After the Meiji Restoration, our Empire of Japan has made great progress, and the Japanese people have also lived a good life, but we have not forgotten our neighbors. Our neighbors are still living miserable lives. Especially in China, because of the warlords' chaos and rampant corruption, the Chinese people endure a miserable life of not having enough to eat and not having enough clothes to wear. Therefore, our Japanese government wants to provide them with the help we can... "
Selina interrupted Shan Shanyuan unceremoniously: "The help you are talking about means that hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, armed with bayonets, set foot on Chinese soil, plundered the property of the Chinese people, and raped Chinese women. , slaughtering China’s old, young, women and children? General, I really can’t imagine that in Japan, the definition of help is this.”
Shanshan Yuan immediately realized that it might be a mistake to let reporters into the dinner party for impromptu interviews. [△网.]
But it's already like this, and Shanshan Yuan can only try his best to find a way to make things right with what he just said.
At that moment, Shan Shanyuan continued: "There are many ways to help the Chinese people. The U.S. government sets up schools in China and provides full scholarships to the best Chinese students so that they can accept American culture and Western beliefs. When they complete their studies, It is a good help to join the construction of China after returning home, but our Japanese government pays more attention to civilians. We hope to help more poor people live a good life in a direct way. Of course, here Problems of one kind or another will inevitably arise during breeding, but we can’t stop doing it just because problems arise, right?”
Shanshan Yuan’s implication: Even your U.S. government is not a good product. Your U.S. government follows an elite line and realizes U.S. political intentions by cultivating pro-American upper-class elites. However, our Japanese government implements a grassroots line. , to realize the political intentions of the Japanese Empire by liberating the vast majority of civilians at the bottom.
If Selina continues to struggle with the definition of aggression, Shanshan Yuan decides to have a good talk with her about the political intentions of the US government in setting up schools in China. Aggression is aggression, whether you are wearing a noble cloak or a barbaric one. In the name of others, all they do is the same thing.
Selina rolled her eyes at Shan Shanyuan and was not fooled.
The smart beautiful reporter immediately changed the subject: "I heard that the temporary 79th Division that killed His Royal Highness Prince Fushimiguya has successfully escaped the Japanese pursuit. Your predecessor, General Matsui Iwane, suffered a tragic death because of his ineffective pursuit. The dismissal of the Japanese military base camp and the royal family, General, is this true?"
Shan Shanyuan coughed dryly and said loudly: "As far as I know, the reason why Mr. Matsui was dismissed was not because of the ineffective pursuit as you said, but because of health reasons. In fact, Mr. Matsui is currently receiving treatment at the Naval Hospital. As for the temporary 79th Division you mentioned, I admit that it is a cunning opponent and indeed poses a certain threat to the imperial army... "
Shan Shanyuan paused deliberately at this point, until he attracted everyone's attention, and then said: "I was about to take this opportunity to report the news to everyone. The temporary 79th Division has been surrounded by Chongteng Detachment in Nantong. City, I can responsibly tell you that the temporary 79th Division will soon be wiped out by the imperial army."
Selina immediately asked: "How fast are you talking about? One day or one week? At the last press conference, I asked Mr. Tsukada the same question, and he also told me that it will be very soon." The temporary 79th Division will be wiped out, but in fact, you mobilized three regiments to encircle and suppress them, but you still let them break through."
Shan Shanyuan couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment on his face. Although everything that happened before had nothing to do with him, no matter what, he was also a Japanese soldier, and now he was the commander of the Central China Front Army. The Central China Front Army mobilized three An infantry regiment went to encircle and suppress a few hundred Chinese remnants, but returned without success, and his face was also dull.
At that moment, Shanshan Yuan looked around and said: "What I want to say is, this is just an accident..."
"Accident?" Selina asked persistently, "Your Excellency General, I wonder if there will be another accident this time? If an accident occurs, will Your Excellency the General be dismissed like your predecessor?"
Shan Shan Yuan became a little impatient. At this time, a major came to him in a hurry and whispered a few words.
Shan Shan Yuan immediately changed his face and turned around to leave. Selina chased after him relentlessly and asked persistently: "I would like to ask your Excellency, General, if there was another accident in the battle of Nantong?"
Shan Shan Yuan ignored it and walked straight into the side hall.
The envoys and diplomats from various countries in the hall looked at each other in confusion.
As the host of the dinner, it is extremely rude for Shan Shanyuan to leave without saying goodbye.
Fortunately, Chief of Staff of the Central China Front Tsukada Kao reacted quickly enough. He immediately stood up and said: "Everyone, please be calm for a moment. Please enjoy the wine and food first. Your Excellency, Commander, will come back as soon as you go."
After appeasing the guests, Tsukada Gong and Iinuma Mamoru left the table and entered the side hall.
When the two of them walked into the side hall, they immediately saw Shan Shanyuan standing there in a daze, as if stunned.
Behind Shan Shanyuan, stood a major staff officer with the same solemn expression. In the hand of the major staff officer was a folder.
"Your Excellency, Commander, what happened?" Tsukada Gong asked in a low voice, but Sugiyama Yuan showed no response.
The major officer standing next to Shanshan Yuan handed over the folder in his hand. When Tsukada took the folder, his expression was normal, but after reading the telegram, his whole body immediately became bad.
The telegram was not sent back by the frontline troops, but by the Special High School.
After Shigeto Chiaki sent the first telegram, he never reported the war situation to Sugisu Yuan.
Even if the Japanese army fell into the trap of concealing the truth, Shigeto Chiaki suppressed the news because Shigeto Chiaki thought that even if he was ambushed by the temporary 79th Division, it would not be a big problem.
In the end, the independent battalion turned on the power with a clear code, and the Japanese military special high school was able to learn the news.
The content of the telegram was even more horrifying: The Chongteng detachment was completely wiped out! Not only was the Shigeto Shige detachment completely wiped out, but the detachment leader Shigeto Chiaki and two regiment captains were also captured by the temporary 79th Division!
Seeing Tsukada Gong's expression changed after reading it, Iinuma Mamoru quickly put his head over.
"Nani?" Mamoru Iinuma raised his eyebrows, eyes wide open, staring at the telegram in Tsukada's hand.
Iinuma Mamoru took off his myopia glasses from the bridge of his nose and rubbed his eyes vigorously. He suspected that he was seeing things.
how can that be possible? The Chongteng detachment is an entire detachment, with a total of nearly 10,000 soldiers of all types. This is an army of nearly 10,000 people! The temporary 79th Division only has a remnant of a few hundred men left. Even if there are too many, it is barely a battalion of five or six hundred men!
What's more, various signs indicate that the remnants of the temporary 79th Division simply do not have that many troops.
However, now, the Chongteng detachment with nearly 10,000 people was defeated by the remnants of the temporary 79th Division with less than 500 people. Defeated!
Moreover, the Chongteng detachment was not only defeated by the temporary 79th Division, but was also completely wiped out!
An army of tens of thousands of people was completely wiped out by just a few hundred people. Even the detachment leader Shigeto Chiaki and his two regiment captains were all made prisoners. Iinuma Mamoru couldn't believe it at all. This could be true. !
Rubbing his eyes vigorously, Iinuma Mamoru put on his glasses again and read the telegram in his hand again.
The results were exactly the same. The contents on the telegram copy paper did not change at all. The Chongteng detachment was indeed wiped out by the remnants of the temporary 79th Division! Mobile phone users please visit w reading for a better reading experience.
