Chapter 501 A nest of snakes and rats
Somewhere on the northeastern border
In a small train station, Japanese soldiers quickly cleaned out a room. About ten kilometers across the street was the territory of the Russians.
Normally, no one would come here. Except for some soldiers who were changing guards, no one with the rank of colonel or above had ever come here. But it was different tonight. A lieutenant general and several major generals got off the car. It was said that they were going to meet with the Russian officers on the opposite side.
The two countries were originally in opposition, and neither looked down on the other. Both regarded the other as an obstacle to their dominance in Northeast Asia. However, because of the appearance of Li Shaoyi, the two families actually came together, and there was even a sense of sympathy between them. They were both beaten by Li Shaoyi and could not stand up.
It turned out that when the Japanese suffered heavy losses, the Russians felt that the Japanese were not strong in combat and their faces were full of sarcasm.
Now, after various battles on the Xiongnu grasslands, the Russians have suffered a lot of scattered losses. They finally know how strong Li Shaoyi is in combat. If they had not been beaten up by Li Shaoyi, perhaps there would be no negotiations today.
There was no light on in the room, but the negotiators from both sides had already come in. This was a dishonorable negotiation after all, so apart from the negotiators in the room, the troops outside who were responsible for the escort didn't even know who they were guarding.
"Is this how you, the Luosha army, fight? You lost the southern part of the Outer Xiongnu, but instead of thinking of taking it back, you want to negotiate with them, even going to their capital to do so. Where has your courage gone?"
The three officers on the south side were all Japanese soldiers. The one in the middle should be the one mainly responsible for the negotiations, that is, the Japanese Army Lieutenant General. This guy spoke first.
"Then I'd like to ask, how many troops did the two Japanese divisions have? They must have had nearly 60,000 men. After a brief skirmish with the enemy, they only lost a few thousand men, and yet the two divisions lost their entire defense line and quickly retreated. And what some people boast about as Asia's most powerful air force has been crippled twice. Where has your courage gone?"
The general sitting in the middle of the Rakshasa side was also not to be outdone.
The two sides started to have internal friction and were unwilling to admit defeat at the very beginning of their contact. In fact, this is very normal. The two sides have met two or three times in recent months, but neither of them is willing to admit defeat, and the opening remarks are always like this.
There was silence for more than a minute. Perhaps feeling that such mutual sarcasm would not achieve anything, the Japanese side stepped forward again to smooth things over.
"I said last time that there's no need to start with this. We should focus on the future. We want to know whether this negotiation in Aurous Hill is just a delaying tactic or a real negotiation."
The Japanese general sitting in the middle said very shamelessly, after all, it was he who ridiculed the Russians in the beginning.
"If this is a true negotiation, then there's no need for me to be here. We, the great Luosha people, will never submit to a Han Chinese. Any land he has taken from us will be returned double in the future. We are now accumulating strength and preparing for a counterattack."
The Japanese dared not disbelieve what the Rakshasa said, but of course they did not dare to believe it completely.
"However, regarding your performance in the war, I think after this meeting, perhaps there's no need for us to meet again. We Rakshasa people are capable of taking back the Xiongnu grasslands on our own. During the time we established contact with you, you didn't provide us with any useful support, but instead wasted a lot of our time, so..."
After hearing what the Rakshasa said, the three Japanese generals felt their faces getting hot. After all, what the Rakshasa said was the truth. Of course, there was no light in the room, so their blushing faces could not be seen.
From the Japanese perspective, this time they wanted the Russians to bear Li Shaoyi's wrath for them. Otherwise, according to Li Shaoyi's previous fighting style, let alone the Rehe Defense Line, they might have already reached the Northeast.
"It's better not to say some things so early. In fact, both of us are testing each other and haven't expressed our true thoughts. Therefore, we wasted many opportunities in the previous battle. He doesn't have the ability to win two wars. The reason he deployed his most combat-capable troops on the front line was to use some small-scale battles to repel us. If our two families can really bring out their elite troops, we will definitely be able to unite and destroy him."
The Japanese general said excitedly that if the two sides really broke down, the weakest side would definitely be the Japanese army, so now they must first reach an agreement with the Russian side. At least the two sides should not threaten each other, and they should withdraw all the troops in the rear to jointly attack Li Shaoyi.
"We no longer trust you. I admit that we didn't deploy many elite troops this time, but you ran away faster than rabbits when we clashed on the battlefield. If we deploy elite troops next time and you still act like this, we might as well fight on our own."
The Luosha negotiating representative shook his head. This time he came here to meet, and the Luosha high-level officials also issued an order. Either let the Japanese agree to our request and send a few staff officers to each other's side to supervise each other and really encircle and suppress Li Shaoyi, or simply dismantle this platform. There is no need to keep such a false ally.
The Japanese also came with various ideas. If the Russians were so easy to fool, of course they would use words to trick them into continuing the attack. But if the other side really wanted to withdraw the ladder, after repeated consideration, the Japanese still felt that in this situation, they should use their true strength and unite with the Russians to encircle and suppress Li Shaoyi. After all, such opportunities are rare.
"Dear Deputy Commander, please don't jump to such conclusions. This time we come here with sincerity..."
The Japanese officer clapped his hands and the lights turned on directly, which meant that their cooperation would no longer be carried out in the dark. From this moment on, their cooperation would be under the light.
The Rakshasa side was led by General Badviyan, deputy commander of the Far Eastern Military District.
The Japanese side was led by Lieutenant General Konoe Shohei, Deputy Commander of the Kwantung Army.
"I said long ago that our negotiations should be conducted in the light, not in the dark. This would be a huge setback for the combat effectiveness of both sides..."
General Badwiyang took out the cooperation plan that had been written long ago from his assistant...
