Chapter 1154
Zetian became more and more imposing, but because what he said was not true, Tamura was respectful but fearless.

"Your Excellency, I have considered everything you said, but the people who are doing business with us are not Chinese people. No, it may not be quite accurate to say that. Although they are also Chinese people, they are not Han Chinese, but have deep conflicts with the Han people. Li people."

"Li people?"

"Yes!"

"However, I heard that the ethnic minorities in Hainan are very tough. We invaded their land and killed their people. Don't they hate us?"

"Of course I hate it, but I'm putting the blame on those bastards in the navy!" Maybe it was because Zetian's attitude had changed a lot, so Tamura let his guard down and let it slip.

There was a flash of light in Zetian's eyes, and he caught it immediately. He stared at Tamura with wide eyes, and said, "'I', did you personally participate?"

Tamura was shocked and said in fear, "Your Excellency!"

Zetian smiled: "Sit down. Tell me everything, I know, you must be hiding something."

Tamura was sitting in a tight seat, and told the story of the meeting with "Lang Yuntou", and then expressed his original intention: "Your Excellency, the highest pursuit of the ancient Chinese military is to win without fighting. I think, It would be a good idea to expel the soldiers by buying off the ethnic minorities on Hainan Island. Your Excellency, you have been in the Fourth Division for a while, and you must know the three principles that are widely circulated among soldiers. -"

Zetian naturally knew it, and he sneered: "'Don't pay for fearless sacrifice'; 'Don't participate in unreasonable battles'; 'Don't pursue the desperate enemy'. Your so-called three nos are these three principles? What are the three nos? Principle, isn’t it because you’re afraid of losing your life! Bage, how can I be so unlucky that I will be transferred to the Fourth Division as the division commander!”

Tamura smiled awkwardly.

After venting a few words, Shigeru Sawada calmed down a bit, and said with a long sigh: "Let's be honest, what are you going to do? As long as it is reasonable and feasible, I will not be ignorant."

Tian Cun was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he said: "The soldiers are timid and afraid of death. Since they can't defeat the Xuebing Army, then let the Li people and other ethnic minorities come forward to help us drive them away. In that case, we will gain the reputation of attacking, and the Li people Driven away their old enemy, everyone is happy..."

After Tamura finished speaking, Zetian felt that this theory was a bit absurd, but at the same time he had to admit that it was indeed feasible.He thought for a while and said: "Tian Cun, to deal with barbarians like the Li people, just buying is definitely not enough. You have to know that when people interact with each other, if one party behaves too weak, the other party will make more and more progress. Arrogant and domineering. Originally, if the United Fleet had been staying in the nearby waters to maintain force deterrence, we would not have to worry about those barbarians turning against each other. But this is obviously impossible. Once the United Fleet leaves, what do we use to maintain deterrence? The soldiers are so timid and fearful, once there is friction, they will definitely be the ones being bullied. At that time, once these barbarians find out that our people are honest and deceptive, can you guarantee that they will not drive us away like they drove away the student army?"

Zetian's worries were not unreasonable. When Tiancun thought of the "30 people" mentioned by "Lang Yuntou", and then thought of the entire Hainan Island, there were at least 200 million barbarians like the Li and Miao people. His face turned pale. Bai, no words to answer.

"Report!" Chuan Sheng's voice suddenly sounded outside the house.

Zetian glanced at Tamura, satisfied with the effect of what he said just now, and shouted towards the door: "Chuansheng, come in."

Chuan Sheng walked in.Zetian glanced at him, saw that his face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat, he couldn't help but hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "What happened?"

"Your Excellency, something important has happened!" Chuan Sheng shouted in a crying voice, and submitted a telegram.

Zetian was startled, he stood up and took the telegram and browsed it quickly, and then his face turned pale in an instant.

Tian Cun saw the changes in the faces of the two of them, he was puzzled, and said: "Could it be the Xuebing Army who came here? Could it be that Lang Yun was bought by the Xuebing Army long ago?" The more he thought about it, the more he felt this possibility It was so big that he couldn't help turning pale with it.

This telegram was sent by Yamamoto, and he chose to send the telegram at this time in order to strengthen his determination to evacuate alone.The United Fleet began to return at 09:30 last night, and now they have joined the incomplete Nagasaki supply fleet, which is more than 250 kilometers away from Hainan Island.

Although Zetian had thought about it, he never believed that Yamamoto could really do such a thing.However, now that the deal is done, even if he is unwilling, he has no choice but to accept this cruel reality.He suddenly exposed himself, tore the telegram fiercely to pieces, and then cursed: "Bage, that bastard Yamamoto—take the bottom of the pot! He is a loyal samurai who wants to murder more than [-] His Majesty the Emperor!"

Tamura was shocked when he heard the words. He looked at Chuan Sheng and asked in a low voice, "Chuan Sheng-jun, what happened?"

"The United Fleet withdrew overnight," Chuan Sheng said angrily.

"What?" Tamura was dumbfounded.Although they are planning to occupy Hainan without fighting, this is only the beginning after all.And just as Zetian said, once the force deterrence of the combined fleet is lost, will the barbarians on Hainan Island still be so obedient?Feeling cold in his heart, he looked at Zetian and said in confusion: "Your Excellency, it seems that you have to make a decision early. Before the Chinese people know about this, we quickly reached an agreement with the Li people in the Baisha area. In this way , even if the Xuebing army launches a counterattack, they can hold us back for a while."

Zetian had gradually calmed down after his rage.He asked Chuan Sheng: "Where is the Marine Corps? Where is the Marine Corps along the coast?"

"They should all be withdrawn. They belong to the navy. Didn't Your Excellency Yamamoto say in the telegram that Hainan will be handed over to your army from now on, and our navy will never intervene again..."

"Bage!" Zetian cursed fiercely, and then paced back and forth in the room.A few minutes later, when Tamura and Kawakatsu were dazed by his figure, he suddenly stopped and stared at Tamura and said, "Just do as you say. That Kuroda Seiichiro, let him be the The head of the division's affairs department is ready. Tell him, feel free to do business with those barbarians, and you can exchange everything except guns and equipment. Tamura, Kuroda was recommended by you, and you are responsible for supervising him. A businessman is the most unprincipled, so don’t let him sell us all. If necessary, you can bring that Lang Yun to see me. Yamamoto wants to put us to death. We must not only live well, but also take Hainan Only in this way can we give him a big surprise."

"Hay!"
