Yang Xingguo's ability to let go of concessions was already beyond Matsumoto's expectations, so Matsumoto agreed without thinking about it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And Yang Xingguo, who completely grasps the initiative in negotiations, has repeatedly relented.

That's because Yang Xingguo didn't want to push the Japanese too hard and leave some material reserves for the Japanese.

Only in this way can the more than 100,000 Japanese troops in Liaoyang have the capital to continue to consume the Russian army. And the longer they spend, the greater the loss of the two troops on the battlefield, and the more beneficial it will be to the Liaodong Army, which is reaping the benefits of the fisherman.

Although Matsumoto knew that Yang Xingguo wanted to be a fisherman, he did not know that Yang Xingguo's purpose to repeatedly loosen his mouth was to let them fight with the Russian army.

Matsumoto, who thought that the negotiations had become more and more favorable to him, immediately took advantage of the victory and wanted to end the entire negotiation.

"Commander Yang, after Fengcheng was occupied by you, more than seventy percent of our grain reserves were robbed by you. For food, we ourselves are insufficient, and there is no way to give your army ...... So, you see......"

Yang Xingguo didn't bother to continue to ramble with Matsumoto, and decisively decided: "Then replace these grains with 100,000 taels of silver." ”

As for the next two conditions: "One million taels of silver and five tons of various medicines, no less ......"

"Deputy commander, you can calculate for me, how much silver and weapons and ammunition there are in total......"

Soon, Zhou Zhongju raised his head and said: "A total of 3.7 million taels of silver, 10,000 rifles, 1 million rounds of rifle ammunition, 100 heavy machine guns, 2 million rounds of heavy machine gun bullets, 5,000 shells, 5,000 tons of medicine......"

"Hiss......" Matsumoto couldn't help but gasp.

Faced with such a huge price, Matsumoto was tempted to refuse.

However, when he thought of the safety of more than 100,000 soldiers on the front line and the national fortune and future of the empire, he still agreed very decisively.

Besides, this compromise is temporary.

As long as the empire defeats Russia and occupies Liaodong, the empire can deploy heavy troops to re-encircle and suppress the Liaodong army.

When the time comes, the Liaodong Army will spit out as many things as it takes from the empire.

That's how it goes. Such a huge amount of supplies, weapons and ammunition, and silver...... It's just a temporary misplacement of the Liaodong Army. As long as the empire defeats Russia, the empire will regain its capital and profits.

Think of these. Matsumoto's mood immediately improved a lot, and he replied to Yang Xingguo.

"Yes, we will send these things to Anshan within five days, and I hope your army will send someone to receive them......"

At this moment, the lieutenant general of the Russian army who left the conference room with anger. As soon as he returned to the temporary station, he ordered his subordinates to pack up and prepare to leave Liaozhong and return to Liaoyang.

After the lieutenant general's order was given, the deputy, who had been staring at Matsumoto for a long time, did not act immediately.

Instead, he reminded the lieutenant general: "Sir, I saw two Japanese at the door of the conference room just now...... He was an intelligence staff officer of the headquarters and had a certain understanding of the senior officers of the Japanese army in Liaoyang. Humble affirmation, one of these two Japanese is the commander of the division of the Japanese lieutenant general? ”

The lieutenant general looked incredulous and asked: "Impossible, as far as we know, the division commanders of the two divisions of the Japanese army that were wiped out by the Liaodong Army have fled back." How could it be possible to be here? You must be reading it wrong.

After thinking about it, the deputy continued to answer with an affirmative face: "There will be no mistake, sir, you can be sure of the humble position, and you will never recognize the wrong person......

Speaking of this, the deputy seemed to think of something, and hurriedly reminded: "Sir, you say, are these two Japanese here to negotiate with the Liaodong Army and cooperate with the Liaodong Army......

"According to the intelligence we have gotten. The Japanese army was very nervous in terms of both strength and material reserves. If they draw two more divisions from the front line to deal with the Liaodong Army, then the decisive battle between the Japanese army and ours will be lost......"

"At this time. It is likely that the Japanese will come to the Liaodong Army to negotiate, reach a settlement, or even cooperate. Only in this way will the Japanese army be able to concentrate all its forces and materials and fight a decisive battle with us without any worries......"

At this time, the lieutenant general's brows had already wrinkled into a deep Sichuan character.

After a full minute of contemplation. The lieutenant general spoke, and said with a firm face: "It must be so......"

"Otherwise, the Liaodong Army would not have raised the transaction price we had negotiated before for no reason. Must it be that the Japanese have come up with better terms, and they want to break off our cooperation and switch to cooperation with the Japanese? ”

The lieutenant general, who was still angry just now, became anxious directly at this time.

Facing the subordinates who were packing up, he immediately ordered: "Stop, we won't go back for the time being......"

"Once the Liaodong Army cooperates with the Japanese and turns to attack us, it will be absolutely a catastrophe for us. As negotiators sent by the Commander-in-Chief, we must find a way to sabotage the negotiations between the Liaodong Army and the Japanese......"

Another deputy in charge of security subconsciously asked: "However, this is the territory of the Liaodong Army, and we have people watching even the meal, how can we sabotage their negotiations?" ”

"Of course, it's the ...... of negotiations," the deputy in charge of intelligence replied without thinking about it.

The lieutenant general nodded and said: "It's just a negotiation, and the ...... offers better terms than the Japanese."

After thinking about it, the lieutenant general immediately ordered the two deputies: "You should immediately do everything possible to find out the content of the negotiations between the Liaodong Army and the Japanese, and at least find out how much the Japanese have paid......

"You immediately send someone back to Liaoyang as soon as possible...... No, you go on a trip yourself and report the situation here to the Commander-in-Chief. I am sure that the commander-in-chief will give you a reply as soon as possible......"

"I'll go to Yang Xingguo right away, continue to negotiate with him, and delay time......"

Yang Xingguo had just rested less than ten minutes after returning to his office when the Russian lieutenant general came over.

Seeing that the face in front of him was obviously embarrassed, and there were some arrogant Russian lieutenant generals. Yang Xingguo immediately understood that the lieutenant general of the Russian army in front of him must have known about his negotiations with the Japanese.

Sure enough, as soon as the lieutenant general of the Russian army opened his mouth, he asked Yang Xingguo: "Commander Yang, do you really plan to turn your back on Russia and cooperate with the Japanese?" Don't forget, most of the weapons and ammunition that the Liaodong Army is equipped with are provided to you by us, Russia......"

Seeing that the other party still wants to overwhelm himself through momentum and compromise himself.

Yang Xingguo was not frightened, and the other party was now begging for himself, so Yang Xingguo had no scruples.

directly retorted-for-tat: "No, you are mistaken, these weapons and ammunition were not provided by you, but were exchanged by tens of thousands of soldiers of my Liaodong Army from the Japanese with their lives and blood......

"Also, there is only cooperation and cooperation between us, and there is no ...... to reneging on this statement."

"You said more than two hours ago that our cooperation has been interrupted. Since there is no cooperative relationship between us, then I will continue to cooperate with whoever I want, and it has nothing to do with you Russia......"

"Besides, even if we still have a cooperative relationship, I can cooperate with the Japanese in principle at the same time......

Seeing that Yang Xingguo was not afraid of his own threat, the Russian lieutenant general could only restrain his arrogance.

He continued with an attitude completely different from just now: "No, Commander Yang, the negotiation two hours ago was too impulsive for me, and I am willing to apologize and retract what I just said." We're still in a relationship, and it's not broken. ”

"Slap ......" surprised Matsumoto that Yang Xingguo was angry at this time.

Not only that, but the clenched fist smashed on the table directly in front of him.

Just when the face of the Russian lieutenant general changed and he thought that he had been insulted, Yang Xingguo scolded loudly: "No...... What do you think of my Liaodong Army, if you want to cooperate, you can cooperate, and if you want to interrupt, you can interrupt...... To tell you, my Liaodong Army is not a subsidiary of your Russia......" (To be continued.) )
