The Lushun Land Defense Command, after listening to Yang Xingguo's conditions, the commander directly scolded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, when he slowly calmed down, he had to admit: Although the conditions offered by the Liaodong Army were very scary, what the Liaodong Army promised him was even more tempting.

Although angry, but also very dissatisfied.

However, Lao Maozi, who was completely under Yang Xingguo's calculations, had to agree to all the conditions offered by Yang Xingguo in exchange for the prisoners.

However, as soon as the commander's decision came out, several henchmen and staff officers in front of him were like an exploding oil pot, and they suddenly became boiling.

The former major general division commander, and now the deputy chief of staff, directly opened his mouth to persuade.

"Please think twice ...... commander"

"So many shells and bullets were given to the Liaodong Army, isn't that increasing the strength of the Liaodong Army?"

"I have seen Yang Xingguo, the commander of the Liaodong Army, he is a hungry wolf who is cunning and can't feed him......"

"Today we give them shells and shells, and tomorrow they may hit us with these bullets and shells."

"And those county seats, although they don't have much resources, can't provide much revenue for the empire."

"However, there are people in these counties, all of them combined, and there are still hundreds of thousands of Qing Dynasty people......"

"After the Liaodong Army gets these populations, they will have enough troops to continue to expand their army. When the time comes, it will definitely become very difficult for our Liaodong garrison to destroy them......"

As soon as the deputy chief of staff finished speaking, many staff officers of the command headquarters agreed with him.

The commander, who had just made a decision, also became hesitant after hearing these reasons and dissatisfaction.

However, it didn't take long for this hesitation to be replaced by firmness again.

What else are you going to say when you see your subordinates?

The commander frowned, and asked loudly, "Shut up for me...... If you don't compromise, it's easy for you to say, don't we want the thousands of veterans captured by the Liaodong Army......"

"Three or four thousand veterans, plus a couple of garrison regiments. One reorganization is two main divisions. Do you think that the strength of our Liaodong garrison is so large that you can ignore the two main divisions......

"Don't say it, whether it's for the future of the Liaodong Army. Or for everyone's future, we have to exchange these thousands of prisoners from the Liaodong Army......"

At this time, the deputy chief of staff, who had been captured by the Liaodong Army, was still unwilling.

After a short contemplation, he continued: "Commander...... Since you can't do anything before trading. We can get our hands on it after the transaction......"

"No......" the commander refused without thinking.

Although he was a subordinate, the deputy chief of staff still subconsciously asked regardless of his identity: "Why?" Could it be that after watching the Liaodong Army get ammunition and population, it will grow and grow step by step. ”

The commander did not answer, but analyzed with a dissatisfied face: "Don't forget, there is another clause in the trading conditions between the Liaodong Army and us, which is to keep it secret for us, and change the news of the elimination of our three divisions to the ...... of repulsing us."

"If the Japanese know, we lost three divisions in Liaozhong. With the character of the Japanese, they will definitely attack in advance. ”

"And with the current strength and deployment of the Liaodong garrison, it will definitely not be able to stop the thunderous attack of the Japanese."

"So. We need to use these ammunition and the county town to exchange some preparation time from the Liaodong Army! ”

Hearing this, the others fell silent.

However, only this deputy chief of staff, who vowed to take revenge on the Liaodong Army, continued to insist.

"No, Commander, the time we need can be ...... without relying on the Liaodong Army."

To give so many materials and population to the Liaodong Army, the commander was also very reluctant.

So, as soon as the deputy chief of staff spoke. The commander stared at him with a pair of eyes and said expectantly.

"As long as you have a solution, I will allow you to move the Liaodong Army after you exchange all the prisoners."

Soon. The deputy chief of staff replied: "Commander, we can take off and delay the transaction with the Liaodong Army......

"If the Liaodong Army really wants to negotiate and trade with us, then before the deal, the news that our three divisions were wiped out by the Liaodong Army will not be revealed by the Liaodong Army......"

The commander did not answer immediately. Rather, they quickly fell into deep thought.

It didn't take long for the commander's eyes to light up. Affirming to the deputy chief of staff: "Yes, in this case, the initiative is in our hands......"

"Half a month, only half a month of preparation time, we can block the thunderous attack that the Japanese may launch in advance."

"As for the two main divisions to be formed, we can transfer the garrison troops first. As soon as the captives returned, they were replenished. ”

"At that time, the two main divisions only need a few days to prepare for running-in, and they can enter the battlefield and participate in the battle."

The deputy chief of staff asked excitedly, "Commander...... Do you agree? ”

"Agreed......" the commander affirmed if he didn't think so.

Then, the tone of conversation changed, and he continued: "However, we must immediately send people to Liaozhong to negotiate with them, and according to the attitude of the Liaodong Army, delay the transaction as much as possible. Otherwise, I don't feel at ease......"

"I'll ......," the deputy chief of staff volunteered.

"I fought with the Liaodong Army, and I am also the deputy chief of staff of the major general of the headquarters, and there is no one more suitable here than me......"

In response to this request, the commander replied without thinking: "Then you go ......"

"However, I want to explain your affairs, and I must not mess up the negotiations, time, I want, three or four thousand prisoners, I also want to ......"

The deputy chief of staff replied confidently: "Commander, don't worry......"

"There is a sentence in the Chinese, if we lose our wife and lose our troops, this time, we must let the Liaodong Army give us time and prisoners, and we will not get anything......"

Although it is not clear where the self-confidence of the deputy chief of staff comes from.

But as a superior, the commander still opened his mouth to encourage: "If you can really do it, one of the two main divisions newly formed will be yours." ”

"Also, if you have any requirements, you can also ask, and if you can cooperate, I will definitely cooperate......"

The deputy chief of staff was not polite, and said directly: "Commander, I want to borrow the field artillery regiment that has just been formed......

Compared with mountain artillery, the caliber of field artillery is about the same.

However, both in terms of range and power, field artillery is several times that of ordinary mountain artillery.

Previously, the Liaodong garrison was not qualified to be equipped with heavy weapons such as field artillery.

After receiving the news that the Japanese were preparing to attack Liaodong, the Far East Command transferred a regiment from the limited field artillery force to strengthen the Liaodong garrison.

Therefore, in the eyes of the commander, this only field artillery regiment was an important bargaining chip for himself to defeat the Japanese army's attack.

In order to avoid problems with this bargaining chip, the entire Liaodong garrison, except for a small number of high-ranking officers, knew about its existence, and no one else knew about it. (To be continued.) )
