352 Negotiation, Undercurrent
On the 28th, Chen Cheng's motorcade arrived in Zhenjiang.
After Ye Qingshan found out, he personally led people to greet them.
"Hello, Chief Chen!"
When Ye Qingshan saw Chen Cheng getting out of the car, he also saluted and shouted with Zhou Pingkou and others.
This was also the first time Ye Qingshan met Chen Cheng.
However, the two sides actually had already had intersections during the Battle of Shanghai.
At the beginning, the 88th Division where Ye Qingshan was located fought under the command of Chen Cheng.
The battle in which Ye Qingshan was famous for destroying a heavy artillery regiment of the Japanese.
The reason for its success was due to the strong support of Chen Cheng.
Ye Qingshan only found out about this later.
During the Battle of Nanjing, Chen Cheng provided great help to Ye Qingshan.
Regardless of the previous mobilization, two torpedo boats went to the waters of Jinling to participate in the battle and helped sink the Japanese battleship Kirishima.
Later, he coordinated with the Nationalist Army Command and allowed the Nationalist Air Force to finally rejoin the war in the later period.
Although the two sides have never met.
But we are already old acquaintances.
It has been a long time since Chen Cheng appreciated Ye Qingshan’s military talent.
“Ye Qingshan.
Sure enough, he looks more energetic in person than in the photo."
After Chen Cheng got off the car, he looked at Ye Qingshan, who was wearing a major general's uniform and a tweed coat and looked energetic.
I couldn't help but praise it.
What Chen Cheng saw was Ye Qingshan’s previous ID photo.
But the Ye Qingshan in front of him now has actually been replaced.
They look similar, but their spirits are completely different.
"Commander Chen, let's go into the city and talk.
Zhenjiang is not very safe yet."
Ye Qingshan reminded.
"it is good!"
“Qingshan, come here.
Come ride with me."
Chen Cheng took the initiative to shout to Ye Qingshan.
"Yes!"
Ye Qingshan also chose to obey.
Ye Qingshan was really relieved that Chen Cheng came in person.
The reason why Chen Cheng came here in person was undoubtedly to solve the problem of his previous attempt to seize power by force.
Otherwise, there would be nothing else that would be worthy of an official of Chen Cheng's level to come here in person.
Others came, but they were not qualified enough.
Not only is he not qualified to negotiate with Ye Qingshan, he is even less qualified to make the decision.
After Ye Qingshan and Chen Cheng got in the car, they were protected by the surrounding guard troops and drove towards the military base in the city.
Zhou Pingkou specially dispatched two regiments to be responsible for this security operation.
In the car, Ye Qingshan and Chen Cheng sat in the back seat.
At first, both of them were silent.
Perhaps both parties had not considered how to start the conversation.
A few minutes later, Chen Cheng spoke first: "General Ye.
Is it clear what the purpose of my visit is?"
Chen Cheng smiled and spoke in a gentle tone, easing the tense atmosphere.
Ye Qingshan nodded slightly: "I can guess some."
"So, what do you think?"
"I have done everything for my country and my people, and I have no regrets."
Ye Qingshan said firmly.
He never regretted his previous actions of kidnapping Tang Shengzhi and seizing power in the headquarters.
At least in this time and space, he avoided Jinling's originally extremely tragic fate.
This is also Ye Qingshan’s greatest pride after winning.
In Ye Qingshan's opinion, saving hundreds of thousands of civilians is far more worthy of pride than killing more than 40,000 Japanese devils on the battlefield.
Hearing Ye Qingshan say this, Chen Cheng shook his head.
“That’s not what I’m talking about.
This matter is serious.
But the situation was special at the time, and you were forced to make that decision.
excusable.
Besides, the battle you commanded later was remarkable.
Help us win the defense of Nanjing, a battle that we had originally not had much hope of winning.
In my opinion, the merits outweigh the faults.”
Hearing Chen Cheng say this, Ye Qingshan suddenly felt warm in his heart.
It turns out that there are still people who understand him.
Although, Ye Qingshan also knew it.
A large part of what Chen Cheng said was just to appease him.
But that's enough.
At least it's better than that crappy special envoy, who should let the various units of the National Army come to surround him and disarm them.
Too much stronger.
"I'm talking about what you plan to do next."
Chen Cheng continued.
"I……"
Ye Qingshan opened his mouth but said nothing.
He can't just say, I want to establish my own regime and become a warlord!
Seeing that Ye Qingshan was slow to speak, Chen Cheng did not urge him.
And so, both sides fell into silence again.
Until the car stopped, the convoy arrived at Ye Qingshan’s military camp headquarters.
Ye Qingshan still didn't give an answer.
"Hey!"
Chen Cheng sighed.
He knew that Ye Qingshan was still wary in his heart.
The task assigned to him by the headquarters is not easy to complete.
It turned out that in response to Chen Cheng’s request.
The headquarters also took Ye Qingshan's influence into consideration and finally decided to let Chen Cheng come and negotiate with Ye Qingshan.
As long as Ye Qingshan agrees to return to the headquarters.
At that time, Ye Qingshan can be directly promoted to the rank of lieutenant general and obtain a position as deputy chief of staff in the headquarters.
As for the previous incident where he captured and imprisoned Tang Shengzhi.
Let bygones be bygones.
Moreover, the officers who followed Ye Qingshan in doing this will not be implicated.
After entering the command center, Chen Cheng and Ye Qingshan dismissed everyone else.
He left only a few trusted officers by his side and went straight to the point.
Chen Cheng doesn't have much time to waste here.
He also told Ye Qingshan the requirements given to him by the headquarters.
“Ye Qingshan, don’t worry.
This promise from the High Command is absolutely effective."
Chen Cheng assured.
But Ye Qingshan, who was sitting opposite, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
There were some things he still couldn't say.
After all, the high command still wanted to hide him and eliminate his influence.
I still don't want him to lead troops on the front line anymore.
As for the guarantee not to liquidate, Ye Qingshan did not believe the promise made by him and his officers.
They are all sinister leaders with dark histories. Ye Qingshan is not as easy to fool as a three-year-old child.
Besides, Ye Qingshan didn't want to waste his time sitting in an office at such a young age.
That would mean his trip wasted!
At this time, Ye Qingshan became even more determined.
His determination to leave.
"Hello, General Ye.
Whether you agree or not, just give me a word.
Do you know that this is to prevent the High Command from holding you accountable for your mistakes?
Commander Chen asked a lot of people for help. "
Ye Qingshan remained silent, and the adjutant behind Chen Cheng couldn't stand it anymore and shouted at Ye Qingshan.
The young martial artist behind Ye Qingshan immediately glared at him angrily.
He shouted, "The superiors are talking, don't interrupt."
"you……"
Chen Cheng waved his hand, telling the adjutant behind him not to speak.
"I have a clear conscience and don't need anyone's forgiveness."
Ye Qingshan said in a deep voice with a firm look in his eyes.
After hearing what Adjutant Chen had just said, he could no longer agree to the headquarters' request.
If you agree, wouldn't that be tacit consent?
Was his previous act of seizing power from Tang Shengzhi wrong?
I was totally wrong.
If there was any fault, it was Tang Shengzhi's fault for escaping from the battlefield and giving up resistance.
"It is a soldier's duty to obey orders..."
"No, the highest mission of a soldier is to defend the country and the homeland."
Chen Junlan wanted to refute.
But he was interrupted by Ye Qingshan.
After hearing what Ye Qingshan said, Chen Junlan was speechless.
It seemed that the negotiations had just begun and they had reached a deadlock.
Chen Cheng also looked unhappy.
"Commander Chen, how about I tell you a solution?"
Ye Qingshan said after a moment.
"Okay, you can say it."
Chen Cheng was quite polite and also wanted to hear what Ye Qingshan's plans were.

Just when Ye Qingshan and Chen Cheng were negotiating in the military camp.
In Zhenjiang city.
A captain of the National Army took advantage of no one paying attention, came to the door of a private house, and knocked rhythmically several times.
Then the door opened and the Kuomintang captain quickly slipped in.
Inside a civilian house, a group of young men dressed in ordinary people's clothes, each with a fierce look and cold eyes, were checking weapons and ammunition.
"Yamamoto-kun, you're finally here.
Captain Ono has been waiting for you.
follow me. "
The young man who opened the door spoke fluent Chinese.
He took the Kuomintang captain into the house.
This is a Japanese special agent action team lurking in Zhenjiang City.
The mission they left behind was to assassinate Ye Qingshan.
The captain of the National Army who came over was originally a Japanese spy lurking in the National Army.
In order to assassinate Ye Qingshan, the Japanese Special High Section did not hesitate to mobilize these secret agents hidden in the National Army.
Some time ago, during the Battle of Nanjing.
Ye Qingshan absorbed veterans from other troops several times and also recruited a large number of young and strong people in the city.
It is inevitable that there will be some Japanese spies mixed in here.
Yamamoto is one of them.
Among all the Japanese spies, Yamamoto is the officer who has the best chance of getting close to Ye Qingshan's command center.
So, he will come this time.
Responsible for contacting the Japanese squad that remained in the city to carry out the assassination operation.
"Captain Ono, I have important intelligence to report."
Yamamoto Hideji excitedly said to the scarred Japanese special agent captain in front of him.
"What important information? Tell me!"
"An hour ago, the new Chinese commander, Chen Cheng, arrived in Zhenjiang.
Met with Ye Qingshan.
This time, if our actions are successful.
Not only can we get rid of Ye Qingshan, the great threat, but we can also get rid of the Chinese's new commander, Chen Cheng."
Yamamoto Hideji also said excitedly.
They had been planning this assassination for a long time.
However, the action would be very risky.
But they still didn't want to wait any longer.
I didn't expect that it would start right away.
There is such a good thing.
If it were a one-shot operation, Chen Cheng and Ye Qingshan could be killed at the same time.
That would be totally worth it.
"Yoshi.
This time, as long as we can kill Ye Qingshan and Chen Cheng, we will definitely be heroes of the empire.
Even if it means collective death, we will not hesitate.
In this case, the assassination plan will not be changed.
Gentlemen, our glorious moment is coming."
Scarfaced Captain Ono smiled, and the scar on his face looked like a worm wriggling, making him look even more hideous.
These are a group of lunatics who have been severely brainwashed by Bushido.

At the same time, in the barracks of the 208th Division in the city.
Several Kuomintang officers also gathered together to make the contact.
“Major Han.
Did our superiors really ask us to do this?"
A second lieutenant officer looked at Major Han, who was in the lead, and asked.
"Ah."
The major nodded.
"Damn it, isn't this sending us to our deaths?"
Some people are dissatisfied.
"Shut up.
Since the superior's order has been made clear, it must be executed.
Otherwise, do you want to be punished by the family law?"
Major Han scolded in a low voice.
When they heard the word "family rules", they were a little afraid and then nodded.
(Happy Chinese Valentine's Day!)
