I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette and smoked it silently.

"Jiang Weiguo!" Liu Wugou shouted loudly, tears welling up in her eyes, "You are talking!" She knew that the final decision on this matter was in Jiang Weiguo's hands.

"I..." Jiang Weiguo slowly took a puff of smoke, "I agree with Deputy Chief of Staff Xiao's opinion!"

"You..." Liu Wugou's eyes widened in disbelief, "You..." She looked at Jiang Weiguo and Xiao Yao with her chest heaving sharply, and said angrily, "You are so cold-blooded!"

"It's not cold-blooded!" Jiang Weiguo raised his voice sharply. He looked at Liu Wugou with sad but determined eyes, "I love my motherland, I love my compatriots, otherwise, why the hell am I here? It's fun here? I Originally, I hid in the rear or abroad like other second-generation officials! Why am I on the front line in Nanjing? I just want to do my best to defend my motherland and protect my compatriots! I don’t have a passion How could someone like me be at the forefront of fighting against foreign enemies?"

"I don't deny your patriotism and courage to sacrifice for the country!" Liu Wugou argued, "I just oppose your current actions! You are fighting the enemy with all your strength to defend the country, but your current resistance to the enemy Means will harm compatriots! How can it be reasonable to ignore the people in order to defend the country? Mencius said that the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least! The people are more important than the community! The people are more important than the country! A country without people is even more important Does it exist? If you want to defend the country, the purpose is actually to protect the people, you can't put the cart before the horse!"

"Mencius also said..." Xiao Yao retorted in a flat tone, "Wealth and honor cannot be promiscuous, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, and might cannot be subdued. This is called a real man.

We are soldiers. If we bow our knees and give in under the intimidation of the enemy, then how can we talk about defending the country and protecting the people? "

"So you can disregard the lives of 30 compatriots for your military victory?" Liu Wugou became more and more angry, "I know the brutal nature of the Japanese, you must know better than me, they will really say If you can do it, you will really retaliate frantically! Is it worth sacrificing the lives of 30 compatriots in order to destroy a Japanese warship?"

"There is no such problem, because what you said is a false proposition!" Xiao Yao looked like a wooden man, "This is not an exchange, but a price.

The perpetrators are Japanese, not us!"

30 people...Jiang Weiguo recited silently in his heart, what a coincidental number!Is this God's will?I successfully avoided the Nanjing Massacre, but in another way ruined the lives of 30 compatriots?But... I'm also more and more sure that I'm doing the right thing!The Japanese retaliated because I blew up the Mutsu?No, the two are not actually causal, the former is not the cause of the latter.

think about it!In the Nanjing Massacre in the original history, why did the Japanese army kill them?Are we irritated?no?The Japanese army only paid the price of more than 3000 deaths and more than 9000 injuries in the attack on Nanjing. It is not to mention heavy casualties. The Nationalist Government, the National Army, and the civilians in Nanjing did not do anything to "offend" the Japanese, but the Japanese continued to kill and kill.

If you obey the Japanese, the Japanese will kill you. If you resist the Japanese, the Japanese will kill you. Is there any difference between the two?Since there is no difference, why not resist?What's more, this is war!In war, it is only natural to go all out and attack the enemy by any means!

"Yes! The perpetrators are Japanese, but you are killing people indirectly!" Liu Wugou was emotional.

Jiang Weiguo held Liu Wugou's hand.

"What are you doing?" Liu Wugou shook off Jiang Weiguo's hand, furious all over.

Jiang Weiguo threw away the cigarette butt, and looked at Liu Wugou very seriously and sincerely: "You have criticized me before, and many people in China have criticized me. In fact, I despise you very much, because you seem to be righteous, but in fact you just stand Pointing fingers at the moral high ground, your purpose is to show your morality and conscience, but in fact you can't do anything practical.

I call you "moral whore" and "Mother whore" in my heart (this is actually a name for later generations), you seem to be selfless, but you are the most selfish people.

You are very selfish, but your 'selfishness' is different from ordinary 'selfishness', because you are not aware of your own 'selfishness'.

People who follow morality are very selfish and hypocritical, because such people don't care about anything but their own morality and conscience.

You think that you are very noble, that you are morally noble, and that your values ​​and moral principles are universal, universal, and absolutely correct. As for the consequences of following this morality, you don’t care at all, you only care about yourself Can the so-called conscience be stabilized?

In fact, objectively speaking, people like you do have the spirit of sacrifice, and you are brave enough to sacrifice your life for your own values ​​and moral principles, but unfortunately, this still cannot change your selfish nature.

Ordinary people are selfish for profit, and you are selfish for morality and reputation.

People who are truly 'selfless' don't care about morality and conscience, because that kind of person considers the overall interests of the country and the nation.

You can sacrifice your life for the sake of conscience, as for me, I can sacrifice my conscience for the benefit of the country! "

Liu Wugou stared blankly at Jiang Weiguo, she was defeated by Jiang Weiguo again in this ideological confrontation.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao was also somewhat affected, and he seemed very emotional, "Sacrificing one's conscience is more difficult than sacrificing one's life! It is respectable to sacrifice one's life for the sake of one's conscience, but one should sacrifice one's conscience for the interests of the country." , is really great!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo with deep respect in his eyes.

"Military division, how many minutes are left?" Jiang Weiguo asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yao looked at his watch: "3 minutes!"

"Military division, tell me, will the Japanese really retaliate?" Jiang Weiguo's mind has completely settled down.

Xiao Yao squinted his eyes: "When thinking about a problem, you have to think in another person's place, and you can't think about other people's situation from your own point of view.

The Japanese seem to have us in the army, and they seem to be aggressive, but in fact they are also ruthless, and they have no skills. Why do they want to intimidate us?Still using such an obscene trick?Because they were extremely afraid of losing the Mutsu.

We must see the frailty behind their menacing masks.

We are more ruthless, ruthless, and ruthless than they are.

When the time comes, if we refuse to agree and blow up the Mutsu, even if the Japanese kill 30 of our compatriots, so what?They still lost the ace main warship.

It is extremely shameless and extremely incompetent to massacre the civilians of the enemy country in retaliation because of their defeat on the battlefield. Even if the top Japanese army can do it, it will bring them completely outweighed consequences.

We bombed the Mutsu and made the Japanese angry, and the Japanese killed our compatriots in revenge, so we are not angry?On the other hand, we would rather destroy the Mutsu without the lives of 30 compatriots. Are the Japanese not afraid of such a ruthless means of war?The Japanese tried to use our only 'weakness' against us, but we proved that it was not our weakness at all.

Facing an enemy with no weaknesses, the Japanese will only feel despair at the deeper level of madness!" He looked at Liu Wugou, "Miss Liu, you said, for the lives of 30 compatriots, we must give up destroying Mutsu No, this is really the case, once this precedent is set, we will lose!After the Japanese have tasted the sweetness, if they send someone to inform Canzuo (Jiang Weiguo), claiming that if the Nanjing Army does not abandon the city and surrender, they will massacre the city in Shanghai, what should we do?Succumbing to Japanese violence again?Abandoning Nanjing to save the lives of compatriots in Shanghai?According to this logic, wouldn't the Japanese be invincible on the Chinese battlefield?According to this logic, why should we fight against Japanese aggression?Surrender at the very beginning of the war!How many people can be saved!right? "

Liu Wugou was completely speechless.

"Military teacher..." Jiang Weiguo asked Xiao Yao, "What should we do now?"

"There is still 1 minute left. What we have to do now is to hold our breath and wait for the last second!" Xiao Yao looked like iron, "Wait until the last second and see who will have a mental breakdown!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded and lit a cigarette again.

On the Mutsu, a solemn and strange scene is happening.

Hundreds of Japanese sailors and sailors surrounded the ten Chinese soldiers standing on the outer deck of the No. [-] main turret of the Mutsu with their eyes of anger, hatred, hatred or bewilderment and the guns in their hands.

"It's almost time!" A minute ago, Bu Xiao looked at his watch again, "Brothers, we are about to hit the road in 1 minutes!" He looked at the frogmen beside him, "How should I say, brothers, Soldiers, when the country is in crisis, we should have died on the battlefield. Besides, we died so heroically! We made money! It was worth it! Brothers...everyone has worked hard! Since the start of the war, we have almost 2 Four brothers died for the country, and many of them died in obscurity. They died for the country, but they did not leave their names. We are very lucky. The names and deeds of each of us are in the place of Chief Jiang Weiguo. If it is clearly recorded, our family members, people in the country, and future generations will remember us, isn’t that enough?”

The frogmen all smiled with tears in their eyes: "Enough! Enough!"

"I want to go out!" Bu Xiao walked towards the hatch, "Look at our national flag!" He grinned, "It's a pity not to take a look at the national flag flying on the ace warship of the Japanese Navy!"

Takagi Takagi looked at Bu Xiao who walked out of the ammunition depot with a tense and trembling expression. The latter ignored the densely packed muzzles of the guns, and led nine frogman subordinates on the Japanese warship and at the gun muzzles of the Japanese army. Next, form a solemn guard of honor, look up at the blue sky, white sun, and red flag flying on the mast of the Mutsu, stand at attention solemnly, hold a gun in your left hand, cover your heart with your right hand, and sing "Blue Sky, White Sun, and Red Flag" loudly:

The mountains and rivers are magnificent, the products are abundant and prosperous, Yanhuang Shizhou, East Asia rules the roost!

Don't give up on yourself, don't stand on your laurels, promote our nation and promote great harmony!

Entrepreneurship is difficult, cherish the memory of the martyrs, it is not easy to maintain success, don't do it in vain!

With one heart and one mind, carry through to the end, the sky is full of red! ...

"I really want to tear up these extremely arrogant Chinese soldiers, but... after the extreme anger, they are extremely desperate and powerless. What's the use of tearing them up? They will soon be smashed together with us!" Mr. Takagi said Said it afterwards.

Jiang Weiguo gave the Japanese a deadline of one hour. Within this hour, Lieutenant General Shimada ordered Takagi Osamu to evacuate all the crew on the Mutsu. Takagi Osamu replied, "Evacuate people? What do you mean? Is it possible that the superior is planning to abandon the Mutsu?" Although he would rather die than accept this possibility, he still issued a similar order, and he ordered "The Mutsu is about to be in danger of destruction. As a result, none of the crew members on board left, claiming that "as the crew of the Mutsu, it is natural to live and die with the Mutsu." All the other warships including the Shi and the Hyuga temporarily withdrew a few kilometers. All destroyers, gunboats, and motorboats closely protected the three ships of the Nagato. people sneak in.

On the surface of the Yangtze River near Nanjing, there was only a lone capital ship, the Mutsu, and a few destroyers, gunboats, and motorboats. It looked lonely and quite bleak.

Time slowly moved towards Jiang Weiguo's ultimatum at 11:12 p.m. ([-]:[-] Tokyo time).

"There are still 2 minutes!" Major General Inoue whispered in the meeting room of the Military Command, his face pale as paper. He was actually "reminding" King Bogong.

King Bo Gong was like an extremely manic old wolf, pacing back and forth in the meeting room.

"Has Jiang Weiguo not replied yet?" Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, this active question has exposed King Bo Gong's inner timidity and weakness.

Lieutenant General Yamamoto shook his head numbly: "No!"

General Minai, Lieutenant General Yoshida and others looked at King Hiroko with almost despairing eyes.

King Bo Gong clenched his fists, and with a gloomy face, he ordered, "Call Minister Yuasa!" In the end, he still didn't have the courage to issue the order to "abandon the Mutsu" and left the decision to the Emperor Hirohito, asked for the "sacred judgment of the emperor's order".

Internal Minister Yuasakurahei immediately sent the phone to Hirohito.

Hirohito forced himself to calm down, holding the phone, and made up his mind: "It is not shameful to endure humiliation, on the contrary, being able to endure shame is a precious virtue, and it is shameful to forget shame.

Now that the Chinese flag has been flown on the Mutsu, what could be more shameful than this?Now that he has endured the highest humiliation, it is not impossible to endure other humiliations.

Let me just ask you, can the Navy lose the Mutsu in terms of military strength, morale, and spirit? "

King Bo Gong resisted the piercing pain: "Return to Your Majesty, I can't!"

"Then, you know what decision to make!" Hirohito hung up the phone, and then fell silent for a long time.

"Chief, there is still one minute!" Major General Inoue reminded again with a trembling voice.

King Bo Gong swayed weakly and sat on the chair, and said in a low voice: "Tell Jiang Weiguo that the Imperial Navy... agrees to his request!" After speaking, he smiled wryly and desolately, which made people feel hairy .

"Send a telegram to Jiang Weiguo!" Major General Inoue shouted with amnesty, "Hurry up! We're running out of time!"

At 10:59 p.m. Nanjing time, the Japanese Navy sent a telegram to Jiang Weiguo: "We agree to your request!" In an instant, thunderous and selfless cheers sounded from both the Nanjing Garrison Command and the Mutsu's ammunition depot.

On the Mutsu, the Japanese sailors and soldiers listened blankly to the cheers of the national army's frogmen.

"Ah... the Mutsu can be regarded as saved..." Captain Takagi Takeo smiled bitterly, he knew that although the Mutsu was saved, for the Japanese navy, this was not a victory at all, but It is an unprecedented shame, "Just keep it..." he murmured, and then walked into the captain's room like sleepwalking, and committed suicide by caesarean section in the traditional way of Japanese samurai suicide "in order to make up for the irreversible and serious crimes he committed. (Let the Japanese Navy suffer unprecedented shame and humiliation)".

After learning of this, the commander of the Japanese Yangtze River Fleet, Lieutenant General Shigetaro Shimada, refused the advice of his subordinates, took a gunboat, transferred from the Nagato to the Mutsu, and appointed himself as the temporary captain of the Mutsu. Obviously, Lieutenant General Shimada's move was also "to make up for the major crimes he committed."

More than ten minutes later, Jiang Weiguo met at the Dashengguan Fortress, Major General Kusaka, the chief of staff of the Yangtze River Fleet of the Japanese Navy, who arrived in a gunboat as agreed.

This negotiation is undoubtedly very weird. Negotiations between a certain army and the enemy during the war are enough to be labeled as "secretly communicating with foreign enemies and negotiating peace in private". To give a simple example, Han Fuju, the military and political chairman of Shandong Province, While engaged in the activities of "secretly communicating with foreign enemies and negotiating peace in private", he signed a "peace treaty" with Kenji Doihara, the head of Japan's intelligence agency against China, and the two sides agreed that "Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army and the Japanese army will start a war in North China." At that time, Shandong remained 'neutral'", that is, "the Japanese army did not attack Shandong, and the Shandong Army did not fight the Japanese army together with the Central Army. "Peace Treaty" is one of the important reasons why Han Fuju was bound in a cocoon and dug his own grave later.

Jiang Weiguo must be completely different from Han Fuju. Jiang Weiguo represented the Chinese army in wartime negotiations with the Japanese navy.

Under the bright lights, the negotiators from both sides were sullen, and the scene was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. The smell of gunpowder came from both the representatives of both sides, and also from the hearts of the representatives of both sides.

Major General Caolu looked at Jiang Weiguo who was sitting across from him with half-hate and half-surprise eyes, Jiang Weiguo was expressionless, this is what Xiao Yao taught him, "Don't laugh, don't laugh, once you smile, the other party will know that you are very proud , Once you are proud, you will forget yourself, you will reveal the flaws that allow the other party to take advantage of the loopholes, and you yourself will relax your vigilance."

"The Navy of the Imperial Japanese Army agrees to the three conditions proposed by you. In exchange, we must ensure the safety of the Mutsu!" Rear Admiral Kusaka said in a dry and humiliating tone, "On the whole, our side I agree with your three conditions, but in terms of details, you and I still need to make careful improvements and supplements, I hope you can start a detailed discussion with us!"

After listening to Liu Fengling's translation, Jiang Weiguo's tone was as unemotional as his expression: "We can have a detailed discussion with you, but detailed discussions take time. Our time is very precious. If you want time, you must take it." Pay accordingly!"

"What...remuneration?" Major General Cao Lu asked with great difficulty.

"One destroyer per hour!" Jiang Weiguo said every word, "Every hour of talking, you have to transfer us a destroyer.

In this way, everyone will save trouble, and we can accompany you to talk about the end of time, as long as you transfer the corresponding warships!"

Zhang Yun, who was in charge of the security work at the scene, almost laughed out loud. He secretly sighed, "This feeling of pinching the neck of a Japanese is so fucking cool!"

Major General Caolu almost got violent. He really wanted to kill Jiang Weiguo, although he had been disarmed (Dashengguan is the territory of the Nanjing Army after all, and the Japanese must hand over their weapons when they come to Dashengguan to participate in the negotiations. ), but he was so angry that even if he had no weapons, he would strangle Jiang Weiguo to death with both hands, and he would not hesitate to perish with Jiang Weiguo. With a straight face: "I need to ask my superiors for instructions on this point!"

"I'll only give you 5 minutes!" Jiang Weiguo said concisely, and his words were full of intimidation like Mount Tai was overwhelming.
