Fang Zida took the initiative to take on the task of contacting Japan, which made Song Jiaoren grateful and worried about him doing so. Over the years, Fang Zida has long been the first brother of politics back then. Although on the surface, regardless of the result of the peace talks, it would inevitably have a reputation impact on Fang Zida, there is one thing Fang Zida did not tell Song Jiaoren and others bluntly, because he received a telegram from Wu Peifu on his way back to Beijing, which made Fang Zida make this decision.

Fang Zida's old friend, Ichiro Fujita, came to the shore with a white flag on the afternoon of the second day after he left Qing* Island. Ichiro Fujita brought a message from the commander of the Japanese Second Fleet, Rokuro Yamayo, hoping to hold talks on the "conflict" between the two sides in Jiaodong and resolve the current "trouble".

The arrival of Ichiro Fujita surprised Wu Peifu and attached great importance to it. Although the other party was the special envoy of the Second Fleet, although Ichiro Fujita had never been in contact with him directly, he knew the origin of him. As an intelligence officer, Ichiro Fujita's appearance not only showed that the Japanese had the possibility of easing the situation in the war, but also showed another attitude of the Japanese navy and the top Japanese government towards this war.

Ichiro Fujita, who was directly under the General Staff of the Army, was not a real soldier at all, and his identity as an intelligence officer has always been hidden under his official identity. If there were no instructions from the top of the Japanese intelligence department, the Second Fleet would not have sent him a military liaison officer for negotiation. The keen Wu Peifu suddenly realized the mystery, and he hurriedly sent Fang Zida on the train. When Fang Zida received the telegram at the station halfway, he quickly made a decision and instructed Wu Peifu to treat Ichiro Fujita well and send someone to Beijing to meet him.

On the third day after the negotiation with Song Jiaoren, Fang Zida went to the Six Kingdoms Hotel, where there was a long private room ordered by Zhou Yuanliang, which was one of the security houses of the intelligence department in Beijing. After Ichiro Fujita arrived last night, Zhou Yuanliang secretly picked him up from the train station according to Fang Zida's order and placed him here.

"Fang Sang, long time no see!"

When he arrived at the place, Zhou Yuanliang knocked on the door and entered. After confirming that there was no problem in the house, he then turned sideways and asked Fang Zida to enter. When Fang Zida walked in, Ichiro Fujita, wearing a suit, stood up from the sofa respectfully and bowed ninety degrees to greet Fang Zida.

"Long time no see Fujita Jun. We haven't seen each other for a year since you returned to China." When Fang Zida saw his old friend, he walked up quickly and grabbed Fujita Ichiro's hand. He asked with a smile.

"Yes, a year has passed, and so long has passed in a blink of an eye." Fujita Ichiro sighed and sat down together at Fang Zida's greeting.

"Where is the higher place when Gotoda-kun returns to China? Is it the General Staff?"

"The General Staff of the Army under the General Staff Department." Fujita Ichiro said ashamed: "I can't compare to Fang Sang. You are now a big shot in China."

"Haha, the national conditions of both sides are different. Your country's promotion is not as casual as our country." Fang Zida waved his hand modestly, and then did not directly talk about the serious matters with Ichiro Fujita, but talked about their friendship back then in a rash manner. He also asked Ichiro Fujita's current situation with great concern.

After chatting nonsense for an hour, Ichiro Fujita couldn't help but feel a little relieved. After Fang Zida finally finished talking about another thing, he took the initiative to speak: "Fang Sang, this time I came to solve the misunderstanding between the two sides."

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?" Fang Zida looked a little surprised, as if he didn't understand what the other party said.

"It's just a small misunderstanding that happened between our two countries in Jiaodong and Northeast China."

"Sorry, Fujita-kun, the 'misunderstanding' you just mentioned is not the war between the two places now, right?"

"Haha, if Fang Sang wants to understand this way, of course it's OK." Fujita Ichiro's face was thick-skinned and nodded without changing his face.

"This is not a question I understand. Fujita, this is a question of the nature of the incident! The battle without declaration is already an iron reality. War is not a misunderstanding, nor can it be explained by a few light sentences. Whether it is the Jiaodong battlefield or the Buyun Mountain front. If it weren't for the people who sacrificed their lives and blocked your country's attack with their tenacious spirit and flesh and blood, I'm afraid you wouldn't have appeared in front of me today?" Fujita Ichiro didn't expect that Fang Zida, who had always been gentle, suddenly changed his face and refuted it with extremely harsh words.

"Hi! Fang Sang, I understand. Because of the conflict, our Japan has caused trouble to your country..." Fujita Ichiro quickly stood up and apologized to Fang Zida respectfully.

"Trouble...this word is another...." Fang Zida was speechless for these Japanese people. It seemed that the war between hundreds of thousands of soldiers was just the word "trouble". This word was so harsh in Fang Zida's ears, but now it is not the time to debate with Ichiro Fujita. Fang Zidaqiang suppressed the anger in his heart and snorted coldly in displeasure.

"Tell me what you are here." Fang Zida waved his hand and asked Ichiro Fujita to sit down.

"Fang Sang, our country hopes that the two sides will stop this meaningless conflict. Our Second Japanese Fleet will take over the 15th, and the 18th Division will withdraw its homeland and end the Jiaodong incident first."

"What about the northeast?" Fang Zida asked.

"As for the Northeast, the new cabinet will remove Uehara Yuki's position as Chief of General General of the Army. The two sides retreat 30 miles to stop contact, wait for the result of the peace talks, and withdraw the troops if it goes well."

"That's all?" Fang Zida asked with a frown.

"Hi!" Fujita Ichiro nodded and took out a few pages of paper from his arms and handed it: "This is the specific plan, please check it out carefully."

After taking the text conditions handed over by Ichiro Fujita, Fang Zida looked through it. There was not much content on it. In addition to adding some details, it was basically the same as what Ichiro Fujita said just now. After reading it, Fang Zida lit a cigar and smoked it slowly, and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Fang Sang, your attitude is...?"

Fang Zida's attitude made Ichiro Fujita feel bad. Fujita knew very well about the personality of this "old friend". However, he still bit the bullet and asked a question.

"What do you think?" Fang Zida replied coldly. It's a joke. The Japanese people actually proposed different contents under the banner of negotiations. The conditions proposed by the other party seemed to make some sense at a rough look, but careful consideration caused the Chinese side to suffer a great loss.

First of all, it is the definition of war. The Japanese side only describes this war with "misunderstanding" and "conflict", which is absolutely impossible for China to accept. Invasion is invasion, and no matter if other words are used to conceal it, its authenticity cannot be erased. Secondly, the Japanese's motives were impure. On the Jiaodong battlefield, the other side requested a ceasefire and the trapped remnants of the 15th and 18th Divisions were taken back by the Japanese Second Fleet. In the Northeast battlefield, the Japanese proposed the ceasefire of both sides to retreat thirty miles to avoid contact. These Fang Zida could not agree.

Let’s talk about the Jiaodong battlefield first. The trapped Japanese 15th Division is the biggest bargaining chip in the hands of the Chinese team. Once the tiger returns to the mountain, the Jiaodong battlefield will lose its only initiative. If the Japanese Second Fleet rescues the 15th, will the 18th Division really withdraw its troops and return to China? I guess this feasibility is not believed by even the commander of the Second Fleet. After the rescue of the 15th Division, the Second Fleet will have no worries at all. How to fight the next battle and how to fight is the Japanese side.

In the Northeast battlefield, the Buyunshan defense line caused the Japanese army to be bleeding. Both sides ceased to fight and retreated 30 miles to avoid contact. This is not the same as giving up the Buyunshan defense line? After so much blood flowed and so many soldiers sacrificed, Fang Zida was simply an idiot to agree.

This thing made Fang Zida very suspicious of Japan's sincerity and intention. If the final opinion of the other party was like this, there was no need to continue such negotiations. Although Fang Zida proposed to end the war as soon as possible, if the Japanese insisted on his own, he would not sell out national interests in order to end the war, and fight if he fought. Who would be afraid of whom? At worst, they would all be broken into a mess. The Republic of China is not the Republic of China more than 20 years later in history, and Japan is not the Japan before the outbreak of World War II. The two sides compared the strength of the army, no matter how powerful the Japanese navy was, could it be that it would take the warships to the shore?

"Whose opinion is this?" Fang Zida finally asked while Ichiro Fujita was waiting anxiously, his eyes pierced Ichiro Fujita a little painful.

"this……."

"As an old friend, Fujita, please tell me clearly who is behind you? Which fool did you make this thing? I think you should be able to see the strangeness in it with your intelligence, right?" Fang Zida waved his hand and continued to ask.

"Fang Sang. I..." Fujita Ichiro suddenly felt that the room was very hot, and even sweat beads appeared on his forehead. When facing Fang Zida's heart-wrenching criticism, he hated the idiots in the General Staff. Based on his understanding of Fang Zida, the other party must have seen the tricks of the idiots above to play smartly. Do these guys sitting in the office giving orders really think that Chinese people are fools? What's even more sad is that he is still a bigger fool who comes to the fools.

"It's not convenient to say it, right? I can understand this." Seeing that Ichiro Fujita looked like he was sitting on pins and needles, Fang Zida smiled and picked up the pieces of paper and threw them into the arms of the other party: "Fujita, I will reply you clearly now. We will never accept such conditions. I hope your country will show some sincerity as soon as possible and not play such a child-like trick."

"Fang Sang, if you have something to discuss..." Seeing that Fang Zida refused mercilessly, he stood up and left. Fujita Ichiro suddenly became anxious and tried to hold Fang Zida, but was blocked by Zhou Yuanliang beside him.

"Mr. Fujita, please rest here these days. If you want to contact your country, please notify the guards outside and I will make arrangements for you. Also, please remind me that given the current situation between our two countries, the outside world is very unfriendly to your people. In order to ensure your personal safety and avoid accidents, please do not leave this building at will."

After saying that, Zhou Yuanliang turned around and followed Fang Zi out of the room, leaving two guards guarding outside the door.
