Chapter 100: Negotiation (5)

The next day, the British tried to attack again but returned without success, and by this time they had missed the best opportunity to break out. At 4 p.m., the main force of the First People's Army led by Luo Jiali arrived in the Tarime County area, and soon after, the 2nd and 4th KPA Divisions, which had rushed directly from the west, arrived in Tarimey County an hour late. Take advantage of your illness to kill you! The African People's Army in three directions rushed to one unit without pause, and immediately entered the battle, and by 10 o'clock in the evening, the main force of the British army was dispersed, and the African People's Army was immediately divided into several units to pursue separately, and then most of the British troops were captured, and a small number of British troops escaped in disguise and in the homes of ordinary people, so that they could escape and the British supreme commander did not know where to go. At this point, there was no longer a large British army in the Northwest.

In another battlefield where there is no smoke of gunpowder, in the manor on the outskirts of Dodoma City, after a day, the political negotiation delegation of the African People's Army and the political negotiation delegation of the British government resumed the third round of negotiations.

British Foreign Secretary Anthony. Aiden continued the previous day's toughness and said coldly: "Respected Captain Ampdullerni! You don't need to mention the rest, just tell us how much it will cost us to redeem 100,000 coalition soldiers! ”

As for the fact that the British delegation might bite to the death, the delegation of the provisional government of the African People's Army had already been mentally prepared, and Ampdullerni leaned over and shook his head and said: "Could it be that your government only cares about the lives of hundreds of thousands of British soldiers and does not care about anything else?" He looked at Anthony like the eagle-like eyes of that black face. Aiden paused for a moment and then teased: "You don't care about the various interests of your government in Africa!" Well, I'll talk about the ransom of the hundreds of thousands of British soldiers, and the rest ?......," he said, getting quieter and quieter, until at last he even lost his voice, leaving the other party with endless reverie.

Anthony. Aiden was stunned, could the other party have anything else to fear? In addition to holding the lives of hundreds of thousands of British soldiers, he couldn't figure out what else these Afrokees could threaten them. He asked tentatively: "How about just talking about the ransom of the 100,000 soldiers of our army?" What if you don't talk about it? ”

Ampdullerni suddenly lowered his face and said in a deep voice: "It's easy to talk about the redemption of hundreds of thousands of British soldiers!" All you need to do is pay a ransom fee! But consider that our army has now liberated the entire territory of ********, and our army is called the African People's Army, not the ******** People's Army? Hmph, you should understand what that means. In fact, even if it is now under the control of our African People's Army, it can influence British interests in ********, and the pace of war between the British Empire and our African People's Army will not stop because of this. ”

"You! You are a naked threat! "Gantoni. Aiden trembled with anger after hearing this, "My country will continue to attack you with all its might!" ”

"Your name threatens not only my country but also the interests of the French Republic in Africa, and I will join forces with France to encircle and suppress you." The lieutenant general stood up and said:

After hearing this, Ampdullerny got up and pointed at the British representative and said, "Hehe, encircle us." I welcome it. It's a big deal that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Will our great African People's Army still be afraid? Come. ”

Then Ampdullerny sneered: "Hehe, unite with the French government to encircle and suppress us." I'm so scared. Your government and the French government are facing Germany's military probing. There is also kung fu to encircle and suppress us. We are very welcome. And then all of our main forces are now on the border, for your colonies that ******** border with us. We can attack in half an hour. ”

Anthony. After hearing this, Aiden said angrily: "You are naked blackmail. This is bandit logic. We will not accept your intimidation. ”

At this time, Du Labo, who did not speak on the side, slowly spoke: "Robber logic, aren't you British also robbers?" It's not your bandit logic, how did your colonies all over the globe come about. How much blood of color you have on your hands. A word from our President, I would like to send you now, and where there is oppression, there is resistance. ”

At this time, the British were dumbfounded by Durabo's bandit logic, and Ampdulleni said: "We don't want to be the enemy of any country in the world, and we don't want to dominate the world, we are just a group of soldiers fighting for national independence." If you want to impose war on us, then we will not sit idly by. ”

British Foreign Secretary Anthony. Aiden hurriedly changed his face and said; "Dear Commander Ampdulleni! The two sides also need to be considerate of each other, trust each other, give in to each other, and talk about business calmly, and there is no need to talk harshly or angrily to each other. Didn't we negotiate yesterday? The issue of reparations can be discussed slowly, but for now it is better to continue the topic of releasing prisoners of war. ”

"Okay, what do you decide to do with the release of prisoners of war?" Ampdulleni said

Anthony. Aiden continued: "As for the ransom of the hundreds of thousands of British soldiers, we have agreed to pay a ransom of thirty pounds per soldier, making a total of four and a half million pounds!" ”

Anthony. Aiden shook his head and repeatedly denied: "That can't be! Your soldiers are worth only twenty taels of silver? That's great! My people's base is willing to pay thirty pounds a piece to buy these hundreds of thousands of free labor from you! ”

Anthony. Aiden smiled: "Commander Ampdulleni said that this matter can be counted like this? So how much do you ask for? ”

"No, our demand is simple, and that is a ransom plus subsistence of £500 per soldier. You put 200,000 prisoners. The total ransom is 100 million pounds. ”

"Nope! No! That's impossible. "Anthony. Aiden shook his head and vetoed it when he heard this number.

Updulleni knew that he would ask for £100 million from the other party, and that was just a lion's mouth. The other party will definitely not agree. I'm just asking for a price. Just sit back and wait for the other party to bargain on the spot. So Ampdulleni said, "How much do you decide?" ”

This is still a far cry from the demands of the British negotiating delegation, Anthony. Aiden shook his head with a wry smile: "Please show real negotiation sincerity and think about it, are those 200,000 soldiers worth 100 million?" We can only pay up to seven million pounds! ”

"Is this just a matter of 100,000 coalition soldiers? Isn't there still the issue of public anger in your country? If you don't appease their anger, do your soldiers still have the heart to die for the British Empire?" said Ampdullerni with a threatening expression.

Anthony. Aiden knew that the other party understood the plight of the British Empire, and raised his jaw lightly and asked, "How much is the ransom you are demanding now?" ”

Ampdulleni said in a sonorous voice: "Fifty million pounds! ”

Anthony. Aiden still smiled and shook his head: "No! In view of your sincerity, we also took a step back and agreed to pay 10 million pounds, which is our final bottom line! ”

Ampdulleni also smiled: "And 50 million pounds is also our final bottom line." ”

The two sides insisted on the ransom issue, agreed to adjourn the meeting, and after careful discussion, they would inform the other side of the outcome of their discussions.

The next day, according to Lee Jun-ho's instructions, the African negotiators made concessions: "In view of your sincerity, we make another concession. The minimum floor is 30 million pounds. Less is really not going to work. ”

The deadlock in the negotiations was finally broken, and the members of the British political delegation had bright eyes and surprised faces. Anthony. Aiden was happy but still dissatisfied, and said: "Thank you for the concession, but the ransom of 30 million pounds is still unacceptable to us. ”

Ampdullerni spread his hands and said helplessly: "If you still refuse to accept it, we have no choice." ”

Anthony. Aiden said with a solemn expression: "How about 20 million pounds?" ”

Updureni said: "Thirty million pounds cannot be less!" We release all of your prisoners of war and return some of your weapons, so that your soldiers can join your country directly in other wars. ”
