Chapter 99: Negotiation (4)
At this time, when Durabo heard the lieutenant general actually scolding himself that the black man was a chimpanzee, he stood up angrily and pointed his finger at the lieutenant general and said, "British, you repeat what you just said." ”
The lieutenant general was going to continue to quarrel with Durabo, but was beaten by Anthony on the sidelines. Aiden stopped, and then explained, "I'm sorry, I let General Colbert drink some wine, so I'm a little angry." ”
Ampdulleni got up at this time and said, "We don't care whether this general is drunk or not, and I go here to play drunk. But his words and deeds have insulted all of us black Africans, and he must apologize here. ”
After hearing this, the lieutenant general said: "I'm sorry, I apologize to you for what Cang just said, but I can't agree to the compensation letter." ”
The two sides then engaged in heated arguments over the issue of compensation, but the two sides slapped each other at the negotiating table. Still not negotiated. As a result, the negotiators of the two sides decided to adjourn the meeting for the time being and continue their discussions on the issue in the afternoon. Actually, it's not that the British don't want to compensate, it's that John Bull doesn't have the money to compensate.
After the afternoon talks, the two sides still did not reach an agreement on this matter, and finally the two sides left the meeting in a huff. When Ampdullerni met with Lee Jun-ho, he reflected this problem to Lee Jun-ho, who generally knew the temper of the British, and it was basically impossible for them to take the money. So Li Junhao said: "Since they don't want to pay this money, then this issue will be put on hold for the time being, remember that tomorrow's negotiation is to let them ransom people with money." Nothing else. ”
The next day, after the talks, the two sides did not listen to the entangled issue for long, and the British representative relieved himself and said: "We can agree to the issue of compensation in the negotiations." However, we will only pay a maximum of £1,000,000. ”
After hearing this, Ampdullerni smiled and said: "You can be really generous, and you will pay a million pounds in compensation as soon as you come up." Don't you think this compensation is not enough for the losses of our people? ”
"Then the other party can say a number, and I will refer to it." Anthony. Aiden says:
After hearing this, Ampdulleni said: "We demand that Britain compensate us for our military expenditures, government losses, and civilian losses (including cultural relics and treasures) totaling 100 million pounds!" ”
"100 million pounds!" When the British delegates heard this number, they were stunned and said, "You Africans are crazy! ”
"No, it can't be!" British Diplomacy Anthony. Aiden shook his head like a drum.
"Dear Commander Ampdullerni! Do you think that for the sake of the lives of 100,000 people, it is possible for us to lay down our dignity and face and follow the order, and you are independent, and it is a reparation and an apology? What's more, there is still such a large amount of compensation, not to mention that we can't get it, but we can get it, will our government agree to take it? The lieutenant general said stupidly:
Another negotiator then smiled coldly and said: "You are really a lion, and you want to be independent, and you want compensation, and you want to pay compensation and punish criminals!" It's a big deal, we don't want those 100,000 soldiers! If you have the ability, you will fight our country and oppress us to submit! ”
Ampdullerny was speechless for a while, and the time was late at noon, and the British delegates agreed that they should also discuss it privately. The two sides basically explored the details of each other in each encounter, and the two sides decided to talk again tomorrow.
On the one hand, the temporary political negotiators of the African People's Army (APA) are fighting for their best interests in a peaceful way, while on the ******** front, the AFP fighters are using the steel guns in their hands to throw their heads and shed their blood to fight for the complete liberation of ********. The main force of the African People's Army (APA) attacked the handsome remnants of the army in most of the northern ********, and they compressed the encirclement of more than 50,000 British troops in the area from both the south and the east.
These tens of thousands of British troops have already become turtles in the urn, they have African People's Army troops on all sides, and now it is only before the First Army comes up, this encirclement is still loose, because the First Army of the African People's Army, which has been driven back from Dodoma in the south, is still far away in the area of a hundred miles, and the Second Army of the People's Army in the east is still far away in the vicinity of the area two hundred miles away. But the loose-sighted encirclement did not give the besieged British any sense of security, and they were soberly aware that if they did not break out before the African People's Army to the south and east had come up, they would be completely annihilated.
The direction chosen by the British to break out was to the north, and the 33rd and 34th Divisions of the People's Army (KPA) to hold Tarimey County and Nyamwaga to the north became the roadblocks for the British army to break through to the north, and they were bound to take Tarime and Nyamwaga. Because these two divisions were integrated from the guerrillas operating in the area, the British considered them to be ineffective.
A battle between breakout and counter-breakout has begun......!
Tarim County was defended by the KPA 13th Division, with the weakest defensive position on its left flank, which was defended by the KPA 139th Regiment. Just after dark, the British army, which was attacking Tarimey County, was divided into three directions, three columns in each direction. The three columns on the right flank, mainly the British regular army, were responsible for the assault on the position in Tarim County, and the three columns on the front were mainly the British servants, and the three columns dominated by the bridge militia and the townsmen attacked the right flank, and the three columns composed of the Indian servant army attacked the left flank.
Of the 9 columns attacking in the direction of Tarim County, 6 concentrated on both flanks of the positions in Tarim County, where all the artillery of the British troops was also concentrated. The regular British troops who focused on attacking the right flank of Tarim County were fully armed, but they did not attack in a crowd-like formation like their predecessors, and it can be seen from this that the British still learned a lesson after suffering several losses.
In order to confuse the KPA, the British began to attack the front and left flanks of Tarimey County, and after the rumbling artillery, six columns of the British army took advantage of the night to shout and kill, and rushed to the positions of the African People's Army. On the right flank, the British troops remained motionless for an hour, and after an hour, 5,000 British troops lurking close to the position of the 39th Regiment of the African People's Army suddenly attacked. The 39th Regiment was taken by surprise and the British suddenly poured out too many people, and the British paid a considerable price, after which they engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the African People's Army in the first line of trenches. The 39th Regiment was forced to abandon the first line of positions, and the first battalion was in the first line trenches, and they lost most of them, and the battalion commander himself was wounded in the left arm, which was the sixth wound on his arm.
The artillery unit of the African People's Army hidden in Tarim County was much better than the most advanced artillery in the world at this time, such as range, power, reloading, and firing speed.
After the artillery cleared the artillery of the British army, and then began to bombard the attacking units of the British army, the only dangerous place for the AFA to defend was the right flank position in Tarim County, which was counterattacked by the main force of the 39th KPA Regiment and the division reserves on the timely reinforcements, and after regaining the lost first line position, the British attack on the whole line was weakened, and they were forced to retreat after leaving a large number of corpses. After all, the combat effectiveness of the British army is still far from the most powerful army in the world - the African People's Army!
