Chapter 282 Mediation

The two most difficult things in the world are to put your thoughts into other people's heads and put other people's money into your pockets.

From ancient times to the present, no matter who you are, you will not have a good temper when your money bag is touched.

The Japanese are like this, the Youth Gang is like this, and the principal is like this too.

Just like most of the profits obtained by the Japanese Satomi Agency through drug trafficking have fallen into the hands of Japan's domestic chaebols and the military, the boss behind Qingbang, the Sanxin Company, is none other than the principal.

Therefore, touching Sanxin Company is equivalent to touching the principal's pocket.

The principal is naturally anxious.

In the historical Battle of Songhu, the reason why the principal did not hesitate to use all the elites of the Central Army in his hands to block the Japanese army in Shanghai was simply to preserve the economic market of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in his hands.

So in the next two days, the national army troops around Shanghai Beach began to mobilize and moved closer to Shanghai Beach.

Perhaps because of the latest news brought by Zhang Wenbai (that is, Lu Feng's military deduction), the principal attached great importance to this conflict. Not only did he dispatch four divisions of troops to Shanghai Beach at once, he also sent troops to Xi'an. The troops on the border were mobilized, looking ready for an all-out war.

Naturally, such a large-scale military mobilization could not be hidden from the Japanese. Seeing that the national army seemed to be really preparing to fight them, the Japanese troops stationed on the beach were unable to concentrate on responding.

Because during these two consecutive days, the desperadoes bribed by the Qinggang used practical actions to tell the Japanese how difficult the security war, especially the urban security war, was.

Although under the arrangements of Hase Aokawa, the Japanese Marine Corps extinguished the first wave of unrest with an extremely tough and decisive attitude, killing many desperadoes.

However, these people quickly turned from light to dark, lurking in the Japanese concession one by one, shooting black guns, setting fires and so on.

Unfortunately, these people are not that kind of professional spy organization, and they have no connection with each other. Even if they catch one or two alive, they can't find anything valuable.

Not to mention following the clues and catching them all in one go.

Although their destructive capabilities are limited and far inferior to those of professional agents, they still exert tremendous psychological pressure on the Japanese expatriates in the Japanese Concession.

For a time, the entire Japanese Concession became panicked.

Faced with the huge pressure from the national army outside and the corrupt situation in the Japanese Concession, Hase Qingchuan also had some headaches. He knew that if he wanted to end the current situation in the Japanese Concession.

Or go and make peace with the Qinggang people.

Or, officially start a war and mobilize the army to completely suppress the situation.

However, two days have passed, and there is still no reply to the battle plan he sent to the headquarters, which makes Hase Qingchuan a little irritable.

Finally, when Hase Qingchuan felt that he could no longer bear it any longer, a message from the military headquarters came.

After reading the contents of the telegram, Hase Qingchuan said to the guard with a dark face:

"Go and notify Director Fujita and Director Satomi to come."

"Hi."

After the guards left, Hase Qingchuan let out a long sigh of disappointment.

In the reply from the headquarters, it was very clear that Hase Aokawa's proposal was rejected. Perhaps it was because of Hase Aokawa's identity. The reason was briefly explained to him in the message:

The General Staff believes that it is not appropriate to start a full-scale war at this time, especially not to place the first battlefield in Shanghai. Instead, we should start from North China to test the reactions of some major powers before making further plans.

At the same time, the Kwantung Army had just completed a new round of rotation at this time. The new army that had just arrived in the Northeast had not yet adapted to the environment. The troops returning home from the change of defense were generally on holiday. Now was not the time to start a war.

"Damn you, coward Ishihara!"

Without even thinking, Hase Qingchuan knew who was trying to thwart his battle plan.

Although the reasons in the telegram were all reasonable, Hase Aokawa still found it difficult to accept. The thought of making peace with the Green Gang parasites who had disgusted him for two days made Hase Aokawa feel sick. He originally wanted to take advantage of this incident to take his first shot at Shanghai. But now it seems that this shot was clearly a stink bomb.

He didn't know how to speak, and he smelled bad all over himself.

After a while, Fujita Yoshimasa and Satomi Hiro came to Hase Aokawa's office. Both of them looked not in good spirits.

In the past two days, not only the Marine Corps, but also people from the intelligence agencies have been cooperating to hunt down the saboteurs. The two agency chiefs were stationed directly at the Navy Headquarters and had not had a good rest.

As soon as they entered the door, Fujita Yoshimasa and Satomi Hiro looked at Hase Aokawa's face and knew that the current chaos should be almost over.

"You go and make peace with the Qing Gang."

After saying this, Hase Qingchuan didn't speak again.

Fujita Yoshimasa looked at Hase Aokawa, who had a dark face, and then at Satomi Hiro, who showed no sign, and knew that this job should fall on him.

"Hey, I'll do it right away."

With that said, Fujita Yoshimasa turned around and walked out of the office.

After leaving the house, Fujita Yoshimasa began to think about how to make peace with the Youth Gang in a decent way.

Although Hase Aokawa had agreed to make peace, Fujita Yoshimasa knew that even if peace was to be made, it would be impossible for the Japanese to take the initiative to come to make peace. That would be too embarrassing.

Instead, they need to find some neutral third party as a lobbyist to "beg" the two sides to shake hands and make peace. Then the Japanese will have to "make concessions and be forced to make peace" out of "consideration of the overall situation."

It just so happens that the chaos that occurred in the Japanese concession in the past two days has aroused dissatisfaction from the consulates of the United Kingdom and the United States, and they can mediate.

Thinking of this, Fujita Yoshimasa got into his car and left the naval headquarters, heading straight to the area of ​​the British and American embassies.

In the afternoon of the same day, under the auspices of the American Consul Arthur, Fujita Yoshimasa and three tycoons from the Youth Gang met and exchanged in-depth views on the peaceful development and economic construction of Shanghai. The two sides adopted a harmonious and candid attitude (below Omit 200 words)

In short, Fujita Yoshimasa stated on behalf of the Japanese side that they would no longer launch attacks on Sanxin's factories, nor would they ask the Youth Gang to withdraw from the territory they currently occupy.

The Qinggang said that it would recall all the dispatched personnel and others to control the situation and no longer launch indiscriminate attacks on the Japanese Concession.

As for the misunderstandings during the attack, and the possibility of some people deliberately setting fire to the situation, Fujita Yoshimasa did not mention it at all.

Things have reached this point, and the reasons are no longer important.

As news spread that Fujita Yoshimasa and the Youth Gang were making peace, the national government soon reached an agreement with the Japanese consul.

The Japanese side stated that they would no longer pursue the Yongfeng Building arson case, and the national government also gradually recalled the troops transferred to Shanghai. The cloud of war over Shanghai was once again dispelled.

But both sides know very well that this time the peace talks are only a temporary measure, and the next time it will not necessarily be like now.
