Compared to Kodama Sanichi and Furukawa Shoye, Nakasumi's status is slightly more special, because he was personally promoted by Koizumi Toshiichiro, and he is a direct descendant of Koizumi like Sasaki Shota. Perhaps for this reason, Furukawa Kenichi
Directly let his troops be responsible for disarming the American troops in Butuan City. Now it seems that Gu Xianyi's order did bring him considerable trouble.
As a direct descendant, you enjoy convenience in certain things, such as being able to know the trends of the headquarters at the first time. After learning that Koizumi Toshiichiro intended to make concessions to the Americans, Nakasumi could no longer sit still because he was worried that he might become a scapegoat.
He couldn't help but feel anxious. In addition, US military fighter planes frequently appeared in the sky over Butu in the past few days. He didn't know how the Americans would deal with the dispute with Butu, and he couldn't help but become more and more anxious. His state of mind was undoubtedly a problem for Kodama and Furukawa.
is an opportunity.
Of course Nakaba would be surprised by the arrival of Kodama and Furukawa, so after meeting him, his first question was to ask Kodama: "Kodama-kun, why are you here? Isn't Placer being attacked by the Yankees?"
Invasion?"
Kodama smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Nakabao-kun, you should know my situation. Do you think it is appropriate for me to stay in Placer?"
The mediator thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Are you avoiding it on purpose?"
Furukawa Shoye interjected: "Nakabao-kun, I think you should understand Kodama-kun's character. He is definitely not a person who shrinks from difficulties. But what can you and I do in the face of this kind of thing?"
The mediator nodded and said with deep sympathy: "Yes! Who would have thought that one day we would be standing in the same trench as the Americans?" As he said this, an idea flashed through his mind, and he had an idea of their purpose.
With a certain understanding, he asked again in a tentative tone: "You two are here not just to escape, right?"
Kodama and Furukawa looked at each other, with a hint of joy in their eyes. Such an attitude from Nakaba was what they wanted to see. After all, Nakaba was at the same level as them, and the troops under his command were not weak in combat.
They were absolutely unwilling to go to the point of armed confrontation. After coughing twice, Nakagawa said: "Mr. Zhongbao, we are here to ask you for your views on the current situation, and we hope you will give us some advice."
Furukawa's words were more straightforward. There was a trace of surprise on the mediator's face and he said: "That's too polite, Mr. Furukawa. How can I be worthy of being so highly regarded by you two?" After a pause, he continued.
: "But I do have some opinions on the current situation. The two of us know the temper of our commander. However, Mr. Koizumi intends to unite the forces of the Americans to fight against China. Of course, Mr. Koizumi, Mr. Commander
No matter what, they are all thinking about the future of the empire. It’s just that we are caught in the middle and suffer from both sides. You two, I regard you as like-minded brothers. To put it bluntly, do you think that even if we join forces with the Americans now,
But, do we really have any hope of defeating China?"
When the mediator said these words, his eyes kept switching between Kodama and Furukawa's faces. After noticing that their eyes were getting brighter and brighter, he spoke more fluently and the expression on his face completely relaxed.
.
Both Kodama and Furukawa were a little surprised, because they didn't expect Zhongbao to be so bold and straightforward. Of course, this was exactly what they wanted to hear, so after he finished speaking, Furukawa immediately answered: "Zhongbao
Baojun, although your words are very depressing, I have to admit that they are the true truth." As he spoke, he lowered his voice and asked: "It seems that people from the alliance have also looked for you?"
Hearing this, the mediator's eyes lit up for a while, and then he laughed: "'Yes'? You two, it seems that you have already met people from the alliance. So, if you don't meet outsiders, can I know your choice?
?”
Kodama and Furukawa looked at each other again, and the former said: "It's a difficult choice, but for the sake of the empire, even if we know there is an abyss ahead, we can only do this. Nakabao-kun, please look at this." After saying that, he took something from his body
Send out a crumpled telegram and hand it to the mediator.
The mediator took it and looked at it, with a strange look in his eyes, and said: "The telegram from May, is the situation in the United States really that bad?"
The text on this telegram is entirely in English. It just so happens that the English contained in the text is pretty good and can be understood. This telegram was written by an American girl named Lenina to her lover, and the content was to inform
The current situation in the United States, and said that she had joined the Women's Mutual Aid Association and became a glorious Rangers soldier. She hoped that her lover could protect himself wisely and not die in vain in the war against China.
Kodama nodded and said: "We have intercepted a lot of telegrams like this. It can be concluded that the current domestic situation in the United States is indeed very bad. Haha, a group of women actually turned the United States upside down. Such an America, and
Are you qualified to be on an equal footing with our empire? Mr. Koizumi is old!"
Furukawa glared at him and shouted: "Kodama-kun, be careful what you say."
Nakaba is a direct descendant of Koizumi, so Furukawa is worried that Kodama's words will arouse his resentment and be counterproductive.
Probably hearing Furukawa's intentions, the mediator shook his head and said: "Furukawa-kun, you don't have to be like this. As an imperial soldier, it is legitimate to worry about the future of the empire. You two, you have now understood my position. So,
, let’s have an honest exchange of views. I’ll go first. I think that for the future of the empire, we can only take the path of alliance and temporarily compromise with China. If we really want to take this step, then we must leave Mindanao and go to
Manila. As long as we get there, with the mediation of the alliance, we will be in an invincible position. Not only that, maybe we can also offer a generous gift to China."
Looking at each other again, Kodama and Furukawa had smiles on their faces.
After betraying the Japanese army in Southeast Asia in the name of the anti-war alliance, going to the eastern Philippines was actually the only option. They knew very well that even if they could finally convince Gu Xianyi to raise the anti-war banner, the Eastern Front Army was definitely not the entire Japanese army in Southeast Asia.
opponents. The reason why they want to join the anti-war alliance is to survive and preserve a military force for Japan. Then, asking for help from China becomes inevitable.
"Good advice, Mr. Nakabao, but it is unrealistic for our three divisions to accomplish great things alone -" Furukawa said.
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the mediator, who said: "I know that if we really want to succeed, we must convince Commander Gu Xian." As he said that, he laughed and continued: "Commander Gu Xian is
As an extreme American hater, I think he will definitely not refuse."
The three people hit it off immediately, and immediately decided to call Gu Xianyi and invite him to come to the front line to take charge of the overall situation.
