Iwasaki Shino and Iwasaki Naokawa heard Feng Tiandong say that he had a solution to the problem in front of him, and asked repeatedly.

Feng Tiandong took out a cigarette, first handed it to Iwasaki Shinfu, helped him light the cigarette, and then, he lit one himself, took a deep breath, and then said unhurriedly: "Iwasaki Childe, President Iwasaki, although my suggestion can solve the dilemma we are currently facing, the price we pay may be even greater. ”

"Tell me first!"

Feng Tiandong explained: "I know some information, not only Gongzi Iwasaki, you are here in the Eighth Route Army, but also more than a hundred expatriates of the empire are also imprisoned by them, and now we can connect these people with Gongzi Iwasaki.

President Iwasaki, we can make new demands on the Eighth Route Army, not only to exchange Iwasaki Childe, but also to bring back these imperial expatriates, so that it is not a matter of Iwasaki Childe alone, involving so many people, I don't believe that anyone will say that we are harming the interests of the Empire.

It's just that if we make such a new request, President Iwasaki, the conditions proposed by the Eighth Route Army may be higher, and our losses will be greater. ”

Hearing what Feng Tiandong said, Iwasaki Jinfu's eyes lit up, and they nodded in unison, not thinking about the loss or not at all, and hurriedly discussed the details with Feng Tiandong.

After the matter was settled, Feng Tiandong and the others left Iwasaki and were once again blindfolded and sent back to their residence in Yangou Village.

Iwasaki Naokawa immediately drafted a telegram to report the process of meeting with Iwasaki Shino and Feng Tiandong's suggestion, and communicated with the family.

"Feng Jun, you see, the family has approved your proposal, you go and communicate with the Eighth Route Army now, and tell them what we think." Iwasaki Naokawa pointed to the telegram he had just received and said to Feng Tiandong.

"What? Do I go on my own? Feng Tiandong asked in surprise, immediately showing a frightened expression.

"Hehe, Feng Jun, you are Chinese, it is more convenient to communicate with them. You can go without worry, there is no problem, we are negotiating here, they have promised, they will not do anything to us. Naokawa Iwasaki explained.

Feng Tiandong nodded helplessly in agreement.

………………

After dinner that day, after receiving Feng Tiandong's proposal, the representatives of the Eighth Route Army quickly responded and agreed to their demands, on the condition that they had doubled their original requirements for various materials and the ocean.

After receiving the reply letter from the Eighth Route Army, Feng Tiandong came to Iwasaki Naokawa's residence and handed the reply letter from the Eighth Route Army to Iwasaki Naokawa.

"President Iwasaki, they are too much, how can we agree to such a request." Feng Tiandong, who was good at observing words and feelings, saw that the face of Iwasaki Naokawa, who was reading the letter, was not very good-looking, so he snorted angrily.

Looking at the reply from the Eighth Route Army, Iwasaki Naokawa was also quite helpless, glanced at Feng Tiandong, and said slowly: "Hey! There's no way, don't forget, what is our mission, Iwasaki Childe must come back, besides, you also heard what Iwasaki Childe said yesterday, and promised them no matter what the conditions.

Alas! , I think, the Eighth Route Army should be very aware of the importance of Iwasaki Kimi, we have to take him back, coupled with the appearance of Aso Kosuke, let them see that there are different voices within us.

Feng Sang, you have to understand that the current situation is very unfavorable for us, and the matter is urgent and cannot be delayed. In this case, the Eighth Route Army can still ask for a sky-high price. ”

Then, he said lightly: "Feng Sang, this is their asking price, the sky's asking price, can you pay back the money on the spot, it should still be possible to negotiate and lower some conditions, it depends on how we talk tomorrow, alas!" I don't know what the family's opinion will be. ”

"Then we'll bargain hard tomorrow." Feng Tiandong said nonchalantly.

Iwasaki Naokawa shook his head and said, "It's useless, the Eighth Route Army must have its own bottom line." Feng Sang, you ponder and ponder, where can we suppress their conditions tomorrow. ”

Seeing Iwasaki Naokawa ask him this, Feng Tiandong began to behave seriously, bowed his head and pondered for a while, and then said, "President Iwasaki, I think that the list of captured people they want to exchange may not change. ”

Naogawa Iwasaki nodded.

Feng Tiandong then said: "We can give them the ocean, the current situation in North China is mostly under the control of the imperial army, even if they have money, they can't buy anything, in terms of materials, we will press them hard." ”

"It's difficult, I think it's the opposite, maybe they will make concessions in the number of oceans, materials, even if they make concessions, there won't be much." Naogawa Iwasaki shook his head and judged.

Then he said: "Forget it, I'll report first, see the family's opinion, and let's talk about it again tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Iwasaki Naokawa began to draft a telegram to solicit the family's opinion, Feng Tiandong first wanted to go back to his residence and also sent a telegram to Ishikawa Ichiro to report the situation.

"Feng Sang, you wait for a while before you go back, wait for the call back from home, and then we will discuss." Seeing that Feng Tiandong was about to leave, Iwasaki Naokawa directly stretched out his hand to block it.

Since meeting with Iwasaki Shino today, Feng Tiandong put forward the proposal of exchanging Japanese expatriates together, Iwasaki Naokawa has been a little impressed by him, and now he is willing to discuss anything with Feng Tiandong.

This is exactly what Feng Tiandong wanted, so that he could know the opinion of the Iwasaki family for the first time.

………………

Early the next morning, negotiations continued.

After going back last night, Feng Tiandong still reported what happened that day to Ishikawa Ichiro in detail, although he knew that Ishikawa Ichiro must have known the content of Iwasaki Naokawa's report, but he had to report it again.

Sure enough, Feng Tiandong soon received a call back from Ishikawa Ichiro, praising him, and at the same time asking him to fully assist Iwasaki Naokawa and reach a consensus with the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible.

At the beginning of the negotiations, because Feng Tiandong's proposal had been approved by the Iwasaki family, and the troublesome Aso Kosuke had been abandoned from the negotiations, the negotiations on that day quickly entered the normal track and went smoothly.

Iwasaki Naokawa added more than 100 Japanese expatriates to the negotiation requirements, so that some of the previous concerns no longer existed, and with the permission of the family, they basically gave a positive response to the conditions put forward by the Eighth Route Army.

Sure enough, as Feng Tiandong said, the representatives of the Eighth Route Army did not give in to the arrested people who were exchanged, and as Iwasaki Naokawa judged, the Eighth Route Army made a large concession in the number of the ocean, but the materials and equipment required could not be less.

Iwasaki Naokawa and Feng Tiandong glanced at each other, and reluctantly agreed to the request of the representative of the Eighth Route Army.

After the agreement was reached, the two sides agreed on a date for the handover, and Iwasaki Naokawa and his entourage immediately returned to Guhuai to make preliminary preparations for the exchange.
