Watching Song Ziwen walk towards the position of the Lone Army Battalion, Jonathan's mouth immediately revealed a cold smile. In fact, this was just a double act. They had already discussed it, and they only waited for the hostages to be released. As long as the Lone Army Battalion surrendered, the next Everything is decided by the British. ． ．
In other words, whether the Lone Army Camp will live or die will be decided by the British.
But in order to win the trust of Gujun Camp, or to confuse Gujun Camp, this double act must continue, and Jonathan must adopt a arrogant attitude and continue to argue with Song Ziwen.
Half a day passed in Song Ziwen's back-and-forth negotiations.
Late at night, with Song Ziwen's efforts, Gujun Camp finally reached an agreement with the British army. As long as Gujun Camp released all the hostages and disarmed them, the British army would ensure their safety, and the British government would mediate to force the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai to give way. The way is to let Gujunying go to Zhejiang to return to Jian.
After the negotiation was completed, Song Ziwen felt like he was almost exhausted.
Although this is just a double act with a pre-arranged outcome, running back and forth like this is still very tiring.
Fortunately, the final agreement has finally been reached, and this diplomatic matter has been resolved. Although it is not a perfect result, Song Ziwen feels that it is not easy to achieve this result. The only pity is that the four hundred people in Gujun Camp Soldiers, I'm afraid they will be sacrificed this time.
But the guilt in Song Ziwen's heart disappeared in just a flash.
For the benefit of the entire country and the safety of the entire nation, what does it mean to sacrifice the lives of just four hundred National Army soldiers? If the British Empire is offended in order to keep the lone camp, it would be a small gain at a loss. You must know that the British Empire is a superpower in the world today and is definitely not something that China can afford to offend.
At that moment, Song Ziwen said to Xie Yuan: "Battle Commander Xie, how about releasing the hostages now?"
It was finally time to enter the final stage, release the hostages, then lay down their weapons and surrender.
Xu Rui winked at Xie Yuan. Xie Yuan frowned at first, but finally nodded and said: "Minister Song, there is no rush to release the hostages. You have been tired for a day, why don't you take a rest first?"
Song Ziwen was indeed very tired, but he didn't dare to rest at this time. He frowned and said, "Let's let him go first."
Xie Yuan didn't know what to say. At this time, Xu Rui could only come forward in person and stand in front of Song Ziwen.
"Minister Song." Xu Rui said with a smile, "You are already very tired. I advise you to take a rest first. We can continue to talk about the rest after you have rested."
Song Ziwen frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
For some reason, Song Ziwen suddenly felt vaguely uneasy.
"Who am I?" Xu Rui smiled, "Didn't Wang Tianmu tell you? I'm just a nobody."
"Are you that unknown soldier?" Song Ziwen's heart sank when he heard this. Wang Tianmu told him before that it was not Xie Yuan who had the final say in Gujun Camp now, but another young man who made the decision. Song Ziwen still refused to believe it, thinking that Wang Tianmu was shirking responsibility. , but now, it seems that this is really the case.
However, Song Ziwen still felt that things might not be that simple.
As the commander of the lone army battalion, Xie Yuan should not hand over command so simply.
At that moment, Song Ziwen asked Xie Yuandao: "Battle Commander Xie, can you tell me what is going on?"
Xie Yuan smiled bitterly and didn't answer, but Xu Rui said with a smile: "If Minister Song wants to know what's going on, come with me. When we get to the lounge, I will tell you everything."
After Xu Rui finished speaking, he turned around and left, followed by Xie Yuan, Yang Rui and several company commanders.
Song Ziwen frowned and could only follow. He had to figure out the whole story.
However, when Song Ziwen followed Xu Rui into the lounge, he was immediately surprised.
In the evening, Song Ziwen followed Xie Yuan to the lounge once, for dinner. At that time, there were entertainment facilities such as billiards in the lounge. But now, the entertainment facilities in the lounge are gone, replaced by A huge simulation sandbox was actually converted into a war room!
Song Ziwen was not a soldier, but he was no stranger to military affairs. After the situation of the enemy and ourselves and the deployment of troops were marked on the sand table, Song Ziwen immediately felt his heart sinking. The situation was that Gujunying had no intention of disarming at all, but clearly wanted to see the real deal with the British army. , what the hell is going on
However, Song Ziwen soon understood what was going on.
After entering the war room, Xu Rui immediately began to issue combat orders.
"Captain Shi, the mission of your company is to attack from the front. You have only one mission, to break through the British defense line in the shortest possible time and advance to the British headquarters. But remember, the British are not mortal enemies after all, so you can We should try our best to capture those alive, especially Brigadier General Ferguson, who must be captured alive."
"Yes! We will continue to promise to complete the mission." Shi Changqing responded loudly.
After saying that, Shi Changqing clenched his fist fiercely. He had been looking forward to doing this for a long time.
"Company Commander Wu, Commander Ding, your two and three companies will outflank and make sure not to leak any British troops. Total annihilation. What I want is total annihilation! Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Second Company Commander Wu Liang and Third Company Commander Ding Wenbao also responded loudly.
Xu Rui threw the command pole heavily on the sand table again and said: "What bullshit Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion? How dare you act wild in front of our lone army camp, I will turn it into a prisoner camp! Hum!"
Several company commanders were excited after hearing this. They liked Xu Rui's arrogance.
Song Ziwen was frightened and said loudly: "Stop, stop, what are you doing?"
Xu Rui chuckled and said: "Minister Song, I have to thank you. If you hadn't been running back and forth to help us confuse the British people, the British people would never be careless. Even if we can win this battle, I'm afraid It was also a tragic victory, but it's better now. Because of you, the British have completely believed that we will surrender, so they will definitely relax their vigilance, but they gave us the opportunity to make a sneak attack, so this battle was finally won. Thank you very much. .”
"Crazy, crazy, a bunch of crazy people!" After Song Ziwen heard this, the hairs all over his body stood up. Song Ziwen had served as the foreign minister, and he knew what consequences would come from offending Britain, but this group of crazy people in Gujunying did not He actually used his negotiation as a cover to secretly plot against the British army.
This is to offend Britain to death! The Lone Army Camp is going against the will of heaven!
"Battle Commander Xie!" Song Ziwen turned his gaze to Xie Yuan again and said in a deep voice, "Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"
Xie Yuan smiled bitterly. He actually disapproved of this, but he no longer had the final say in the Lone Army Camp.
Xu Rui smiled, raised his wrist and said, "Get the time right now. The time is now 11:45. In half an hour, we will start action on time at 01:15. Let's go."
Several company commanders turned around to leave, but Song Ziwen quickly stopped them.
"Don't leave." Song Ziwen stretched out his hand to stop several company commanders and said excitedly, "You are not allowed to leave! You can't do this. You can't take action against the British army, no!"
Song Ziwen was really anxious. If he let these company commanders go and allowed them to take action against the British army, wouldn't Song Ziwen become an accomplice of the Lone Army Battalion? If this is the case, even if Song Ziwen jumps into the Yellow River, he won't be able to clean himself. What's more serious is that once the British government is completely angered, Song Ziwen will have to be the scapegoat!
Such a result is unacceptable to Song Ziwen no matter what!
"Don't leave, don't leave!" Song Ziwen opened his arms to block the way and shouted, "None of you are allowed to leave!"
But how could several company commanders kill him? Especially because of Shi Changqing's violent temper, he pushed Song Ziwen to the ground, then stepped over Song Ziwen and walked away.
Watching Shi Changqing and the other three company commanders go away, Song Ziwen immediately collapsed like a deflated ball.
"It's over, it's over, it's over, it's all over, it's all over!" Song Ziwen collapsed on the ground and lamented, "You have caused a big trouble, you have caused a big trouble, you are sinners, you are the sinners of the country and the nation. , China will pay a heavy price for your reckless behavior..."
"It's not over." Xu Rui said coldly, "Minister Song, the British are not as strong as you think, and we in China are not as weak as you think. To tell you the truth, Western imperialism is just a paper tiger. As long as we are really ruthless If you make up your mind and fight them to the death, they will immediately back down."
"You don't understand." Song Ziwen shook his head and said, "The power of Britain is beyond your imagination."
"I don't understand?" Xu Rui said suddenly, "Minister Song, you are the one who doesn't understand."
No matter how powerful Britain is at this time, is it more powerful than the United States just after World War II? But even if the U.S. military is riding on the remnant power of its victory in World War II, once the Chinese make up their mind, they can still compete with the U.S. military. Therefore, the enemy of the Chinese people has always been themselves. As long as they are determined, there is no foreign enemy that cannot be defeated. This has always been the case!
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "What's more, are you allowed to collude with the British and plot against our lone army camp, but we are not allowed to plot against you? How can there be such a reason in the world?"
Song Ziwen was shocked when he heard this, but on the surface he pretended to be stupid and said, "What did you say? I don't understand what you are talking about?"
"Stop pretending, Minister Song." Xu Rui smiled and said, "Do you really think we will be stupid enough to trust Chairman Chiang a second time? Chairman Chiang sold us to the British two years ago Man, two years later today, will Chairman Chiang be able to straighten his waist and bring justice to our lonely camp? Don’t be naive."
Song Ziwen said in shock: "So you know everything?"
"You are not stupid." Xu Rui said happily, "We are not stupid either."
