Chapter 1067: Put That Set Away

From the very beginning of the negotiations, Alexander adopted the face of the British occupiers of the colony, first using strong words and reasoning, and then making demands, which is also the usual method of British entry, but fortunately, the two British did not put on the arrogant and arrogant posture of George, the consul of northern Burma.

Tang Qiuli forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, just because the British army in Southeast Asia still had a little value that could be used, otherwise, Tang Qiuli would yell in front of Alexander and Ebson, "War is war, what are you talking about?" "Then, throw these Brits out.

However, these aggressive issues are also full of gunpowder, and they are all indisputable facts, Tang Qiuli didn't want to be entangled with Britain in the negotiations at all, what kind of retreat, or invasion and other inexplicable issues, aggression? Without strong strength as a backing, I am afraid that it will be himself who demands the withdrawal of troops and accuses aggression, and in the face of absolute strength, any rhetoric and quibbles are useless, and Tang Qiuli is not afraid of the breakdown of negotiations, which Britain has taken the initiative to come to the door.

Tang Qiuli's words, like a knife, pierced straight into Alexander's heart, he blushed, the inside story of this, he knows better than that, the initiator is his own entry, a little British wisdom, not only did not achieve the desired effect, but left an excuse and handle for this aggressive China to enter.

Alexander regretted this in his heart, he had known that it would not be a good thing for Japan to enter, and he would not form a temporary alliance with these yellow-skinned monkeys to deal with China's entry together, and from the bottom of his heart, Alexander did not like Japan at all, and of course, he did not like China's entry.

In the eyes of this veteran colonist, only the interests of the British Empire can still be used, but if Tang Qiuli does not answer these questions, the negotiations will not be able to continue, as Tang Qiuli expected, if the British army has the ability to drive the independent division troops out of the territory, there will never be a matter of the British taking the initiative to come to the door and ask for negotiations.

Alexander pondered and said: "Your Excellency, Honorable Vice Chairman, I'm afraid you have misunderstood the actions of our British Imperial ** team, it is necessary to explain, I received a report from the border post that there are a large number of unidentified militants who have infiltrated the territory, and the British ** team is going to clear it, because there is no communication in advance, there will be a misunderstanding!" ”

It's just a lie, reversing black and white, Alexander's scoundrel and cheekiness, Cheng DΓΉ, who has cultivated to perfection, doesn't blink his eyes when he lies, Tang Qiuli glanced at him coldly, feeling that talking to this guy was a waste of time.

He continued: "Don't tell me any nonsense such as misunderstanding, my soldiers, who have fought with the British and Japanese joint forces for more than ten years, and the bullets that entered their bodies are all made by the British. ”

Alexander was anxious, and raised his voice: "I protest, you use such rude language to insult a general of the British Empire, I will make a strong protest to your government for the rude treatment you have suffered, and reserve the right to accept an apology." ”

Tang Qiuli said indifferently: "Listen to me, such a protest letter will eventually come to my hands, our White Spoon Chairman Jiang, don't you have time to pay attention to your protests, let's talk about some practical issues, there is only one reason for the border conflict." ”

Alexander shut up at that time, he admitted that what Tang Qiuli said was the truth, and before that, he had submitted a letter of protest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government, but he did not see any reply from the Nationalist Government, which showed that the Chairman of the Nationalist Government, Chairman Chiang, could not control the aggressive young man in front of him at all.

Ebson on the side, seeing that things are not good, if the two are allowed to go down, Tang Qiuli is a person who will not give in, and the negotiations will break down, and he and Alexander, Da Yuan, hurriedly ran over from Yangon, can't he go back empty-handed, right?

Ebson hurriedly eased the atmosphere and said: "General Tang, the matter has happened, and then who is responsible will affect the solution of the fundamental problem, Bi Jing, we are not here to quarrel, we are here to reach an agreement that is satisfactory to both parties, General, which is the reason you are talking about?" ”

Tang Qiuli glanced at Mei Xue, who was full of smiles, leaned back in the chair easily, and said: "Actually, the problem is very simple, if you British enter, do not allow the Japanese soldiers who invaded our country, enter the border, and provide guns, ammunition and supplies, there will be no bloodshed on the border, and we can still get along amicably." ”

Ebson rolled his blue eyes and looked at Alexander who was sulking on the side, this matter, Ebson really didn't know the inside story, the army was under Alexander's command, this guy was extremely strict with military power, and Ebson couldn't intervene at all, so he couldn't answer Tang Qiuli's words.

Ebson's meaning is obvious, this matter, you should answer, what is the inside story, I know that o, Alexander said: "In fact, we are also victims, and this unauthorized entry of Japanese soldiers into the overseas territories of our British Empire is tantamount to de facto aggression, and I repeat again, my troops are absolutely not united with Japanese soldiers." ”

When Alexander said these words, he secretly prayed in his heart that the Japanese entered Kobayashi Shuichi, but he must not let the Chinese soldiers be captured alive, otherwise, once the truth is exposed, he will not only have to bear Tang Qiuli's anger, but also accept the investigation and accountability of the British government.

Tang Qiuli was really impatient, listening to this Englishman's mouth full of nonsense and lies, he stood up abruptly and said: "Enough, I only sue you, my principle, Japan's invasion is an enemy invasion of our country, no matter where they run, I will order the troops to pursue." ”

"The so-called border line, in my eyes, is within the range of bullets, help the enemy to enter, I will also attack him as an enemy entry, no matter what country he enters, if you want us to withdraw our troops, as long as you Britain enters the sphere of influence, there is not a single Japanese soldier, I will immediately order the troops to withdraw, how?"

Tang Qiuli asked, this is obviously Alexander's army, I don't know, how many of those Japanese soldiers drilled into the primeval forests of the Indochina Peninsula, and the more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers in the wild mountains, the target is Myitkyina in northern Burma.

Alexander's refugee camp in Myitkyina was to take in these Japanese immigrants, not only because of his original ideas, but because of the orders given to him by the British government, and he also knew that the Queen's government was doing this in a big way to curry favor with Japan, or rather, to fear Japan.

The only purpose of this was to exchange the Japanese army for not operating in the traditional British sphere of influence in Southeast Asia, and Alexander was a loyal supporter and executor of this plan, and the so-called refugee camps were just a cover-up statement, that is, I don't know whether the Japanese government could understand the painstaking efforts of the British to enter.

Alexander and Ebson were speechless, Tang Qiuli's request could not be done at all, Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "This is my only request, if your ** team can drive those Japanese back to China, I will naturally not send troops abroad to chase and destroy."

"In a word, there is a Japanese soldier who is stored in the British sphere of influence, and I will never withdraw my troops, but I can promise you that my troops will stay in the current area and will not continue to go deeper, the premise is that you British soldiers are honest!"

"This is the end of the negotiation, I don't want to deal with people who are full of lies, this is another principle of mine," Tang Qiuli finished speaking, without even saying hello, taking Mei Xue's soft little hand, Shi Shiran left, leaving the stunned Alexander and Ebson, staring at each other with big eyes.

After walking a few steps, Tang Qiuli stopped, seemed to remember something, and said very casually, "By the way, forget to remind the two of you, there are more than 7,000 British prisoners of war in my army, and I don't know how Your Excellency the General and the Governor are going to deal with this matter?" I remember that in the document you submitted, there was a clause for the exchange of prisoners of war, so well, I'll wait. ”

When Alexander heard this, he hurriedly straightened up and said in a military attitude: "There is this clause, but we have counted the troops and found no captured soldiers, as for the captured soldiers of your army, please rest assured that General Tang will be treated with the most advanced treatment, and I will release them unconditionally after I return to Yangon." ”

Tang Qiuli replied with a smile: "Well, I'll bother General Alexander, take good care of my soldiers, I'll wait for them to return," Looking at Tang Qiuli's expression, Alexander's heart jumped for no reason, and he avoided Tang Qiuli's mocking gaze with a weak heart.

The thin donkey pulls hard, Alexander knows better than that in his heart, the grappling of more than 20 years, the British army killed more than 3,000 people, and the captured soldiers are the number that Tang Qiuli said, and the smaller 10,000 horses are gone, but in his hands, there is not even a single Chinese prisoner of war, so what kind of exchange? This wretched up to his heart, and he almost vomited blood on the spot.

The reason why he said this was the strategy agreed with Ebson, Tang Qiuli didn't dare to take prisoners of war, so he avoided the possibility of being coerced, and when the time came, seeing more than 7,000 prisoners of war, it had no effect, he would naturally release them unconditionally, which could be regarded as indirectly winning Tang Qiuli.

Alexander and Ebson, who were half escorted and half escorted, left Tengchong, this time, the two entered and lost very badly, not only did they not reach any agreement, but let Tang Qiuli's troops stay in place, with an excuse and a fact, the mood of the two entered was extremely depressed.

Compared with Ebson, Alexander has one more thing on his mind, when Tang Qiuli talked about the British prisoners of war, that kind of expression made him feel very bottomless, and he always felt that there was a big conspiracy.

This time, Alexander's brain was very sufficient, and he was unfortunate to be right, about the British prisoners of war, and later, he and the British Empire, in front of the world, lost face.
