[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 90: Robbery while the fire is on
In the end, Liannuma Pan still didn't do anything to Xu Xiaolin and Wang Ke, not because Liannuma Pan was unwilling, but because he couldn't do it.
As the saying goes, the two countries do not come to war with each other, and this time Xu Xiaolin and others came to discuss with him about the exchange of prisoners of war, and they were invited to come. If Hasunuma Pan kills the two of them at this time, it will not only be ridiculed by others for his lack of grace, but it will also completely lead to the breakdown of negotiations, and in order to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army, he may even slaughter all the captured hundreds of imperial warriors.
Although he was angry, he had no choice but to endure it when he encountered this kind of cowhide lamp lotus pan.
"You may be seated! I would like to know how your Brigadier Commander would like to exchange prisoners? "Hasunuma Pan knows that since the day they offered to exchange prisoners, it is tantamount to losing the initiative, and these hateful Shina people may know the predicament that the imperial army is facing now, which is why they are so arrogant.
Xu Xiaolin is also not polite, he was originally a bandit, he grew up in the pile of dead people since he was a child, and his psychological quality is far beyond that of ordinary people. Although the Japanese lieutenant general on the other side did put a lot of pressure on him, he had a bottom in his heart when he thought of what the brigade commander said before he came.
"Our brigade commander agreed to exchange prisoners with you, but one-on-one. The price of the exchange between the two sides is 5:1, which means that if you want to exchange all 377 prisoners of war back, you must hand over our 1,885 prisoners of war. The place of exchange is the junction of the two defensive lines, and on the day of the exchange both sides must be escorted only with a small number of troops. Xu Xiaolin said methodically.
"Yaga, it's not fair. Why should we exchange five times as many people, the price you offer is too high for us to accept at all. Lieutenant General Hasunuma Pan said angrily.
"You mean that you don't want to do this business, that's good, to be honest, more than half of the officers in our army don't agree to this deal. Since you don't agree, that's the best, and then our brother will take his leave. After Xu Xiaolin finished speaking, he got up and walked out.
Liannuma Pan was also calm, and when he saw Xu Xiaolin and the two of them getting up to leave, he didn't stop them, his eyes looked at them coldly, and he didn't speak until the two of them were about to walk to the door: "Slow, we can talk about the price, I think His Excellency Ma Zheng himself is also happy with this transaction, and you don't have to be in a hurry to deny it." With what I know about him. He is a person who only takes advantage of the advantages and does not suffer losses. Presumably, he also knew the plight of the imperial army, in the words of your Zhina, he was called falling into a well, or taking advantage of the fire to rob, if it was another time and one place, this kind of stupid behavior of 5 for 1 would not have been done by this commander under any circumstances. ”
"Your Excellency, General, is a joke to war. Whoever believes in fairness is a fool. Just like your aggression against our China, which is itself an injustice, and now talking about fairness is simply a joke. Wang Ke, who had been silent, said loudly.
"You are the best negotiator I have ever met, and I agreed to your terms. Just exchange prisoners of war according to His Excellency Ma Zheng's method, 1885 prisoners of war in China for all Imperial prisoners, but before that you must ensure the safety of all of them! Hasunuma Pan said in a deep voice.
"Okay, that's it. We will protect His Excellency Miyamoto, and the other young masters of the company will be safe and sound. But we also hope that Your Excellency will release the people we need, and as for the list, I will let you know the day before the exchange. Xu Xiaolin said.
"Yo Xi, I don't know when you plan to trade?" Hasunuma Pando.
"If it's convenient, in three days, the location will be near Shangyi County, which is not very far from the stations of both of us, what do you mean!" Xu Xiaolin said.
"No problem!"
After Xu Xiaolin and the others left, Lieutenant General Liannuma Pan said coldly: "Inform all the officers in the headquarters to immediately go to the conference room for a meeting. ”
"Hay!"
The atmosphere in the conference room was very solemn, and the matter of Ma Zheng of the Seventh Brigade of the Zhina Du Brigade sending two low-level officers to negotiate directly with the commander of the front army had spread internally, this was a naked slap in the face, all the officers were silent, if they were targeted by His Excellency the commander at this time, then the days after that would be sad.
"Your Excellency Commander has arrived!"
All the officers in the room quickly stood up, then bowed their heads in respect.
Hasunuma Pan strode into the conference room, then bowed to all the officers, and said, "Gentlemen, please take a seat!" ”
"China has agreed to exchange prisoners of war with us, but the imperial army wants to exchange all the prisoners but has to bear five times the price, a total of 1,885 Chinese prisoners, what do you think the imperial army should do?" Hasunuma Pan said straight to the point.
"Your Excellency, Commander, we can't trade with them under any circumstances, according to the information we have received from the Special High Class, more than half of Ma Zheng's troops have been converted from prisoners. If we agree to make a deal with them, then it will be equivalent to sending nearly 2,000 qualified soldiers to Ma Zheng's department, which will be very detrimental to our annihilation of Ma Zheng's department in the future. Kotaro Yamaguchi, the newly appointed head of the special high school, stood up and said.
"Yamaguchi-kun, I've already agreed to this deal, and the time is set in three days!" Hasunuma Pando.
"Nani, why is that?" As the person in charge of the special high school, Kotaro Yamaguchi only needs to be responsible to the Japanese army base camp, so he is not afraid of Hasunuma Pan sometimes, so he is not as nervous as an ordinary Japanese officer when he speaks.
Hasunuma Pan sighed and said, "Yamaguchi-kun, this matter is far more complicated than you think. This is not only a question of more than 300 imperial prisoners, but also a matter of the face of the imperial family, among the captured soldiers are not only the nephew of His Majesty the Emperor, but even a section chief of the Mitsubishi Group, who knows a great secret about the imperial military industry, which must not be known to the people of China. ”
"Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor has put pressure on the base camp, and if our army cannot solve this problem, the army side will cut the military budget by one-fifth next year. The base camp had no choice but to put pressure on us, ordering that the matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise everyone will be held responsible, including all the monarchs here. ”
"Your Excellency, the cunning people must have known the plight of the front army, which is why they made such an unreasonable request. If we agree to make a deal with them, and we happen to fall into their trap, please consider carefully, Your Excellency, Commander. Major General Shigetoku Kuroda stood up and said.
"Kuroda, this matter has been in a comprehensive state from the very beginning, and there is no ability to refuse at all, even if it knows that this is a conspiracy and a trap, the imperial army must drill into it." Hasunuma Pan said mournfully.
"Your Excellency, Commander, in fact, there is still room for things to turn around." Lieutenant General Harem Jun, who had not spoken all this time, said suddenly.
"What is the best plan for the harem king?" Hasunuma Pan asked hurriedly.
"Your Excellency, the Commander, this kind of behavior of the people of China is actually understandable, and they should be so unscrupulous against the enemy. From this point of view, Ma Zheng is indeed an opponent worthy of our learning and respect. In fact, it is not difficult to crack the conspiracy of the Shina people, all they want is soldiers, as long as we don't let them succeed, it will be considered a victory. "Harem Chun Lieutenant General said.
"Harem-kun, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Hasunuma Pan said loudly.
"There is no doubt that the transaction must be made, otherwise it will not be possible to explain it to His Majesty the Emperor. But it is up to us to decide who to exchange, and the people of China want prisoners of war, so we don't use prisoners of war to trade with them. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, we can capture the people and exchange them disguised as prisoners of war. Thus we have achieved our goal, and they have only been given a handful of useless farmers. In addition, we can also surprise them after the transaction is over! Lieutenant General Harem Jun said fiercely.
"Harem-kun is trying to ambush them on their way back?"
"The people of China will definitely place the place of the trade at the junction of the defense zones of the two sides, and at the same time they will mobilize a part of the troops to ambush nearby just in case, and we may not be able to take advantage of it in a head-to-head battle. But the advantage over forgetting that we have a china that does not have is that we have aviation. ”
Speaking of which, all the officers in the conference room understood what Harem Chun meant, he just wanted to use their advantage in aviation to deal with Ma Zheng's department.
Under the auspices of Hasunuma Pan, a conspiracy against Ma Zheng's subordinates began.
