Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

Zizhulin Concession Municipal Council

"I regret my presence here. This represents a decline for all our forces within Dragon Country. To ensure the safety of the Purple Bamboo Forest Concession, we, Japan, mobilized our troops from our homeland. However, your attitude has left us deeply disappointed. Do you choose to trust the Dragon Countrymen now, rather than your former comrades?"

In the meeting room of the concession authorities, Commander Yamamoto said indignantly that as a military representative, he should not be here, but the diplomats had said everything they needed to say, and the representatives of various countries still had the same attitude, which was that they would not allow the Japanese army to be increased.

After Commander Yamamoto finished speaking, the people present did not react much. They just shook their shoulders slightly and looked at the representative of the Windsor Empire, Lord Mittle, who was their representative.

When the Zizhulin Concession was first established, it was the Windsor Empire that took the lead, so their development was the best. Except for the fact that their military force was not as large as that of the Japanese, they were the number one power here in other aspects. The Japanese soft power was far inferior to theirs.

"Mr. Yamamoto, I understand your feelings, but the Zizhulin Concession doesn't belong to you, Japan, alone. It's a stronghold of various countries in Tianjin, a place where we can conduct business peacefully. This is a telegram from the Peking Municipal Government, this is a telegram from the Nanjing National Government, this is a telegram from the Tianjin Municipal Government, this is a telegram from the 29th Army, and this is a telegram from the 72nd Brigade. Everyone is warning you that if the Japanese army lands here, they will no longer guarantee the safety of the Zizhulin Concession."

Lord Mittel said slowly, with an amused expression on his face.

The others also nodded. To them, Japan should be abandoned in the current situation.

If Japan could defeat the 72nd Brigade, then all these problems would not be a problem. During Japan's advance into North China, other countries might be able to benefit from it. But the problem is that all your troops in North China have been killed, including nearly 10,000 troops in Rehe Province in the north, all of whom were killed by the 72nd Brigade.

Are we still on your side? We are not fools.

Perhaps in terms of comprehensive national strength, you Japanese are much stronger than the Dragon Country, but the problem is that in North China, you are already doomed.

Of course, you Japanese will make a comeback in the future and take control of this area again. Then it won’t be too late for us to readjust our policies. Anyway, you Japanese cannot wipe out all the major European and American powers at once.

"Since when have official documents from the Dragon Government had such a deterrent effect? ​​Can they control you gentlemen?"

Commander Yamamoto sneered. When crises occurred in the past, the Dragon Government would also send official documents to you, but did you take them seriously?

No one present wanted to care about Commander Yamamoto's attitude. After all, we were determined. The Japanese army could go wherever they wanted, but they were absolutely not allowed to enter the Zizhulin Concession.

"Mr. Yamamoto, the Longguo government doesn't have that kind of deterrent power, but Li Shaoyi does. Most people saw your reorganized infantry battalion being annihilated in the north of Tianjin. The combat effectiveness of the 72nd Brigade is also obvious to all. We don't want the war to spread to the Zizhulin Concession."

Lord Mittel didn't want to say this because it would be tantamount to slapping the Japanese soldiers in the face, but you are still so aggressive, so don't blame us.

Some people around were also whispering, and Commander Yamamoto felt like he had been slapped several times.

Seeing that there was no possibility of reversing this matter, Commander Yamamoto took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions.

"According to what everyone said, the Japanese army cannot land in the Zizhulin Concession. So, can we provide them with some food and drink? Our troop transport is in the harbor right now, but warships from various countries are intentionally or unintentionally blockading our troop transport, making it impossible for any other ships to approach."

Commander Yamamoto had to settle for the second best option. The supplies on the ship were almost gone, and if they were not delivered, many people would starve.

"Excuse me, Mr. Yamamoto. This is a telegram from the 72nd Brigade. It clearly states that as long as we strictly maintain neutrality, the Zizhulin Concession will not be interfered with in any way. If we allow you to send food and drink aboard, does that still mean we are strictly maintaining neutrality?"

Lord Mitre produced another telegram.

The people present only saw their own interests. After the combat effectiveness of the 72nd Brigade was strengthened, although they expected that the other party would not dare to enter the Zizhulin Concession, they believed that Li Shaoyi would not be able to become an enemy of all the powers in the world.

But if the Japanese used this place as a base, the impulsive Li Shaoyi would probably do something they could not anticipate.

So in this situation, the warships of various countries stationed here intentionally or unintentionally blockaded the Japanese fleet and troop transport corps, and did not allow Zizhulin to lease them any supplements.

"Very good, you all did a great job. What you did to us at this stage, you will regret in the future."

Seeing that there was no result, Commander Yamamoto did not dare to turn against these people. After all, in the port of Tianjin, the combined strength of the fleets of various countries far exceeded that of the Japanese fleet, and turning against them would require capital.

Commander Yamamoto stood up and walked out. The people present shrugged their shoulders and did not feel that they had done anything wrong. If the interests of all foreigners were involved, they might work together, but if it was only the interests of you Japanese, you cannot drag us into this together.

"Commander, the people on the troop transport just reported that they have less than 24 hours of food and drink..."

A secretary came up quickly from behind. The reason why Commander Yamamoto personally negotiated with the consuls of various countries was because the people on the ship could not hold on any longer. If there were no new supplies, they would probably jump into the water and swim over.

"Let them sail the ships to the open sea and order our merchant ships to resupply them."

Commander Yamamoto said with some disgust that although this method could deliver supplies, it would take longer and cost more money.

The most important thing is that this is not a long-term solution. If we send it today to provide food and drink for today, will we be able to drink seawater tomorrow?

"Commander, are the talks ineffective?"

When we returned to the barracks, Chief of Staff Nakamura came over with great interest.

"None of those bastards gave in. Why are you so happy? Did you come up with a new solution?"

Commander Yamamoto said anxiously.
