Feng Tiandong is not very clear about the bottom line of the Japanese that Li Mingnan cares about, and even he is suspicious that the Iwasaki family may not have set the bottom line at all.

So, Feng Dao: "Director Li, from what I have learned, the Japanese devils don't seem to have any clear ideas, there should be no bottom line, I guess, they want to see what requirements our side puts forward first, and then make a decision."

However, I think that the fact that the Japanese do not set a bottom line shows that they are determined to exchange Iwasaki Shino back, and we can make the most of that. ”

"Comrade Wild Goose, do you have any suggestions on how to exchange this Iwasaki Shino?" Li Mingnan continued to ask.

After pondering for a moment, Feng Tiandong suggested: "Director Li, the Mitsubishi Consortium owned by the Iwasaki family is a very important military enterprise in Japan, and the Japanese base camp cannot do without them, and they also have a great influence on the Japanese government.

When they found out that Iwasaki was missing, not only were all the agencies related to the Iwasaki family searching, but even the North China Command of Japan specially ordered secret agencies at all levels to make every effort to find Iwasaki's whereabouts. You think, this situation should be the result of the pressure on the Japanese base camp behind the Iwasaki family.

After I revealed Iwasaki's whereabouts to Ishikawa Ichiro, in addition to the Iwasaki family's efforts to oppose the armed rescue and hope to negotiate an exchange, the North China Command ordered the Japanese army to assist the Iwasaki family and bring Iwasaki back safely.

From this point of view, the status of this guy Iwasaki Shino in the Iwasaki family should not be low, and it must be very important to the Iwasaki family, so we can open our mouth and put forward more conditions to sell this guy Iwasaki Shino for a good price. ”

"Hehehe! Can't you cheap these guys, you see, what should we exchange? Li Mingnan nodded with a smile and asked again.

Feng Tiandong thought for a while and said: "Director Li, I think it can be like this, one is our captured personnel, the second is medicine, and the third is weapons, these things are no problem for the Iwasaki family, hehe, at present, all I can think of is these, oh, by the way, I can also ask them for some small industrial equipment." ”

Then, he added: "When the two sides talk, they may try it first, and our initial conditions can be raised higher, set a general tone first, and then bargain." Oh, by the way, tens of thousands of oceans can be added to the conditions as bargaining chips for price reduction. ”

Looking at Feng Tiandong's profiteer face, Li Mingnan nodded while smiling.

Regarding this negotiation, there is another layer of meaning, Li Mingnan did not say, in the plan to deal with Iwasaki Shinfu, in addition to Feng Tiandong's proposal to exchange as many materials as possible, he also planned to let Feng Tiandong make meritorious contributions as much as possible through this negotiation and further gain the trust of the enemy.

Comrade Wild Goose, the head of the military region knows how important this nail is in the heart of the enemy and how crucial it is in the process of raising materials in the base area, so this negotiation with the Iwasaki family is linked to Feng Tiandong, and the military region is ready to seize the opportunity to create better conditions for him to lurk.

………………

The next day, the representative of the Eighth Route Army in charge of negotiations came to Yangou Village.

After breakfast, negotiations began.

During the negotiations, Feng Tiandong did not participate in the speech, and Iwasaki Naokawa bargained with the representatives of the Eighth Route Army.

Both sides explained their respective conditions, and since the conditions proposed by the Eighth Route Army were beyond Iwasaki's expectations, he repeatedly stressed there that they were impossible.

"Mr. Eighth Route Army, Mr. Shino Iwasaki is a Japanese expatriate, not a soldier, and is not a prisoner of war, so you should be released unconditionally." Seeing that the negotiations were at an impasse, one of Iwasaki Naokawa's assistants, Kosuke Aso, spoke.

Although Aso's tone was stiff and unfriendly, he was secretly praised by Naokawa Iwasaki, which was a good way to put pressure on the Eighth Route Army.

"Smack!" The representative of the Eighth Route Army slapped the table and said angrily, "What nonsense! Look at the armament of the Jingjing Coal Mine, look at the exploitation of Chinese laborers, look at the mass graves next to the coal mines, this is what civilians should do. ”

The more the representative of the Eighth Route Army spoke, the more angry he became, and he roared angrily: "You came to China, invaded our land, plundered our supplies, and killed our compatriots, but now you want to use the word civilians to cover up the heinous crimes you have committed. Delusion! ”

With these words, the air in the room instantly froze, and several representatives of the Eighth Route Army got up in unison, made a gesture of terminating the negotiation and brushing their sleeves away.

Iwasaki Naokawa saw that things were going to happen, and Aso's words completely angered the Eighth Route Army, and he felt that he was thinking a little badly, thinking about the various crimes committed by the Japanese army in China, and understanding that this was not an ordinary business negotiation, and there were some things that could not be used as bargaining chips.

So, Iwasaki Naokawa glared at Aso Kosuke, hurriedly ran over, and bowed to Japan at 90 degrees, apologizing for what Aso Kosuke said, hoping that the Eighth Route Army would continue to talk.

As Iwasaki apologized, the atmosphere in the room gradually began to calm down again, and the negotiations continued.

"Mr. Eighth Route Army, Shino Iwasaki is very important, but the conditions you put forward are really outrageous, we are here with sincerity, you can't open your mouth like this, negotiations are not like this." Seeing that the negotiations had entered a normal state, Iwasaki Naokawa said with a frown.

Iwasaki Naokawa was very irritable in his heart, things were really difficult to handle, the negotiation process should have been bargaining, I will increase your descent, but the representatives of the Eighth Route Army did not eat hard and soft, stared at the conditions they put forward, and did not let go at all.

In response to what Iwasaki Naokawa said just now, the representative of the Eighth Route Army smiled and calmly explained: "Hehehe, Mr. Iwasaki, don't you still understand? If Iwasaki Shino is sent to Chongqing, what will be the result, in addition to the great merit we can get, will there be fewer material rewards? If what we get from you is not as much as what Chongqing has rewarded us, why do you want to hand over Iwasaki to you? ”

The words of the representative of the Eighth Route Army blocked Iwasaki Naokawa there at once, yes! What people say makes a lot of sense, why do you negotiate with you just to get greater benefits? If this goal cannot be achieved, how can the negotiations be successful.

Just when Iwasaki Naokawa was secretly thinking about how to deal with the current situation and how to solve the immediate problem, an unexpected accident appeared that he could not imagine.

"Hahaha, Mr. Eighth Route Army, what you said is very unreasonable, we don't care how much Chongqing gives you, this has no impact on our Great Japanese Empire. Because, if these things are given to you, Chongqing will naturally be less, and the power over there will naturally be weakened, which is also what we are happy to see. Aso suddenly interjected.

Then, Aso Kosuke glanced at Iwasaki Naokawa and continued: "However, if we provide you with so many supplies, the result will be to weaken the power of our empire, which we do not want to see, and I think that Iwasaki Gongi, as a loyal subject of the emperor, will definitely not want to see it either." ”

"Huh? What do you mean? The representative of the Eighth Route Army asked.

"What do you mean? Hahaha, what we mean is the 100,000 oceans we are talking about, and you promise us to exchange them, otherwise we will not talk about it, and we cannot betray the interests of the Great Japanese Empire.

Hahaha! Your conditions, don't say that we can't agree, even if Iwasaki Kimiko knows, he will definitely not allow us to agree, for the sake of the Japanese Empire, he has already done his best.

As soon as Aso Kosuke said this, whether it was the side of the Eighth Route Army or the Iwasaki family, they were all stunned, this is not an attitude of negotiation, this is an ultimatum, no matter from what point of view, Aso Kosuke has no right to say this, he is deliberately leading to the breakdown of negotiations.

The representative of the Eighth Route Army did not speak, but looked directly at Iwasaki Naokawa, waiting for his statement.

Iwasaki Naokawa has no choice, he is not good at talking, he definitely can't say something contrary to Aso Kosuke on this occasion, there are some problems that can only be solved by communicating in private.

Seeing that the negotiations could no longer proceed, Iwasaki Naokawa asked for a suspension of the negotiations, and he was ready to consult the family on the conditions proposed by the Eighth Route Army.
