Chapter 252: The End of Negotiations
"Absolutely not."
Wu Xiaoliang refused unceremoniously, and made so many efforts to leave the Suidong battleship, the last thing he lacks now is money, Sun Jiayu has earned hundreds of millions of assets for him, and it is never an exaggeration to say that he is rich and rivals the country.
Tsukada was dumbfounded, he had imagined countless possibilities, but he didn't expect that General Shina would refuse, and immediately stayed on the spot, hesitating how to persuade the stubborn General Shina next,
Not only Tsukada attacked, but Fang Qidao also secretly blamed Wu Xiaoliang for not acting rashly, but he understood that he couldn't directly speak out against it, so he had to cough as a reminder,
"Tsukada-kun, I only give 10 million, if you can't be the master, the telegraph office in Vladivostok can send long-distance telegrams, you can go back and take a telegram first and ask for instructions, and then reply to me."
Wu Xiaoliang is still very tough, he does not intend to make any concessions on the Suidong battleship,
"The issue of the ransom for the battleship is put aside for now, let's discuss the next issue, the prisoners of war of the Twenty-fourth Wing, we don't have too much food to feed them for nothing, if your country can't come up with a suitable solution, then they will probably be sent to the mines to dig coal."
Tsukada took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat oozing from his forehead, and unbuttoned his collar, compared to the battleship Hanoi, he valued Chief Miyake and the 24th Wing more, this time he had to bring the 24th Company back no matter what,
"Okay, but I don't know how you plan to ...... Your Excellency General"
Wu Xiaoliang laughed, "According to the number of people, regardless of officers and soldiers, there are a total of 1,311 prisoners of war, according to the meaning of the discussion of the General Staff, send them to the mine to dig coal, but for various considerations, I think they are Japanese soldiers after all, and sending them to do hard labor will damage the majesty of the Japanese Empire, so it is better to redeem them and make a price of 10,000 per person, what does Tsukada-kun think." ”
Tsukada attacked Wu Xiaoliang in his heart and secretly scolded Wu Xiaoliang for being cunning and greedy, making a price of 10,000 per person, and wanting to redeem 1,311 people, he got 13 million silver dollars, which was just deducted from the battleship, and finally had to find him 3 million, how could there be such a good thing, the people of Zhi Na deceived people too much,
But he really didn't have any other way, after thinking about it, he decided to ask the prime minister first, such a serious question, he would never dare to be the master, and he couldn't afford to pay this responsibility.
"Since His Excellency the General has proposed a solution, then I will go back and ask for a consultation first, communicate, and then we will negotiate this issue."
After Tsukada attacked back, he took the approval slip opened by Wu Xiaoliang, and sent a telegram to the country overnight, reporting the general policy of the people of China who were ready to arrive at the ship with money and exchanging money for people, and after a long wait of one day and two nights, but there was no reply, he gradually began to be disappointed, perhaps the Terauchi minister had been disappointed in him,
Waiting, especially the waiting without a certain result is the most tormenting, two nights, Tsukada Tsukasa has trouble sleeping, he thinks that if he continues like this, he will collapse, but fortunately, this situation did not last long, at noon on the third day, Japan finally took back the telegram, there are only two words throughout, "can",
Although it was just the simplest two words, it made Tsukada Attack ecstatic, but after a moment of ecstasy, he calmed down, how could the minister of Terauchi agree to such a harsh request, he didn't expect the country to agree, the reason why he would send a telegram back, there was no way at all, to kick the ball to those bigwigs and high-ranking officials in the country, but he didn't expect these old guys to agree, did they have to lose their minds, one by one, they are all confused,
After another bit of cranky thinking, in the end he decided to fight on the basis of reason, and strive to compress the conditions within the most reasonable range.
"What, 20 million, absolutely not, the Suidong Army can't come up with so much money to ......"
This time, Fang Qidao was ordered to negotiate with Tsukada Attack, and he still took a tough position, Tsukada Attack was angry by his negotiation method, but after two days of fierce confrontation, he finally achieved the results of the initial vision,
The amount of payment for the Hanoi ship was upgraded from 10 million to 20 million, and the redemption price of the soldiers of the 24th Wing was reduced from 10,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan, which was a big victory.
However, Fang Qidao finally gave him a level of difficulty, he proposed that after making such a big concession, he hoped that Japan could sell a certain number of large-caliber shells to Suidong, as the name suggests, the so-called large-caliber shells must not be ordinary shells with a caliber of one or two hundred millimeters, but must be a caliber of 36o millimeters and a weight of half a ton.
Tsukada attack also can't do the master, so he had to suspend the negotiations, and once again sent a telegram to the country for instructions, this time the reply was very fast, and the next morning, the telegraph operator informed him that there was a telegram, and the reply was in addition to the word "can" last time, and there were two more words, "as appropriate", he immediately understood, but faintly felt surprised, what did those old guys in the cabinet talk so well afterward,
As a result, Tsukada went to Wu Xiaoliang non-stop and informed him that the Imperial Cabinet had agreed to all the conditions put forward by Suidong, and asked him to immediately start the procedure for the release of the prisoners of war.
Wu Xiaoliang was also surprised, this is obviously not the Japanese style of acting, they have always only allowed others to suffer, their own advantage, how to change sex, but he still did not agree to release the prisoners of war immediately, now all of them are verbal agreements, he needs to record these negotiation terms in written form, and at the same time, this matter must be signed by someone with the corresponding status in Japan, before it can be counted,
"There's still one last step to go, Tsukada-kun."
Tsukada had an expression that he had long thought that you would not happily agree, and he insisted on ninety-nine steps, of course he would not let the entire negotiation be wasted because of this last step.
"Your Excellency, General, please speak."
"You Japan need to send a person of equal status, preferably military circles, to sign with us, so that it will have full legal effect."
Tsukada thought for a while, and felt that it was reasonable for General Shina to make this request, so he got up and left, and came to the telegraph office again to ask for instructions from home, this time the cabinet still made him wait for a day and two nights, and early on the third morning, Japan took a telegram back, with a faint line: "General Otani will leave today." ”
Wu Xiaoliang finally couldn't bear the soft grinding and hard bubbles of Tsukada's attack, and ordered to start the screening of prisoners of war and make preliminary preparations for their release, but just when all the Japanese prisoners of war felt that they were going home soon, a whole battalion of soldiers with loaded guns drove into the prisoner of war camp, all the officers were escorted away, and Miyake Mitsuji also got into the carriage they brought and left.
The Japanese soldiers were ordered to return to the barracks, and were not allowed to go out without an order, and some sensitive people immediately realized that something serious must have happened outside.
