Chapter 192: Poison Plan (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Passes, Asking for Various!! )
PS: Three watches, three watches, ask for tickets!!
"Okay, please be seated! I want to know how your Excellency Chen Feng wants to exchange prisoners? "General Terauchi Shouichi knows that these hateful people may know the predicament that the imperial army is facing now, so they are so arrogant.
Kang Xiaowei and Jing Jing are not polite, their psychological quality is far beyond that of ordinary soldiers, although these senior Japanese generals on the opposite side have also caused them a lot of pressure, but thinking of what the minister said before coming, they have a bottom in their hearts.
"We agreed to exchange prisoners with you, but we did not agree to exchange all the prisoners with you at once, and this time we only exchanged the diaspora in Tianjin, a total of 24,891 people. The price of the exchange between the two sides is 3:1, which means that if you want to exchange all these 25,000 prisoners of war, you must hand over 75,000 prisoners of war to us. All prisoners of war were exchanged in three batches, the first of 5,000, the second of 8,000, and the third of 12,000. The place of the exchange was the junction of the two defensive lines, and on the day of the exchange both sides had to be escorted only with a small number of troops. Kang Xiaowei said methodically.
"Yaga, it's not fair. You must know that the Imperial Japanese Army exchanged prisoners of war with you for civilians, and the price you offered was too high for us to accept at all, not to mention that we did not have so many prisoners of war in our hands. Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe 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, it's just that Chief of Staff Yang and others think that those expatriates are useless. That's why I agreed to exchange with you, and since you don't agree, that's the best. That being the case, then our brother will take his leave. With that, he got up and walked out.
Terauchi Shou was also calm, and when he saw Kang Xiaowei and the two of them getting up to leave, he didn't stop them, his eyes looked at Kang Xiaowei and Jing coldly, until the two of them were about to walk to the door, and then he said: "Slow, we can talk about the price, I think His Excellency Chen Feng 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 about the plight of the imperial army, in the words of your people, he was called a stone, if it was at another time and place, the stupid act of exchanging prisoners of war for overseas Chinese would not have been done by this commander under any circumstances. ”
"Mr. General. That's not true. It's not like falling into a rock. Rather, it is called robbery while the fire is burning. Fairness 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. He got up quietly and said.
"You're the best negotiator I've ever met, so I agreed to your terms. In accordance with the method of His Excellency Chen Feng, 75,000 people were exchanged for all overseas Chinese. But since we don't have so many prisoners of war in our hands for the time being, we need to mobilize them from the Central China Dispatch Army, and it will take time, so the deal will be set in half a month, right? "Terauchi Shouyi said.
"Okay, that's it." Kang Xiaowei said.
Just when Terauchi Shouichi and the others thought that Kang Xiaowei and Quiet were about to say goodbye, Quiet spoke again: "General Terauchi Shouichi, we also brought an invitation this time. As she spoke, she pulled out a brown paper envelope from her body.
Major General Kawabe Shozo stepped forward to take the envelope, checked it, and found that there was indeed only a thin piece of paper inside, and then handed it to Shouichi Terauchi with confidence.
General Shouichi opened the invitation card and looked at it, and then said, "Go back and tell Your Excellency Chen Feng that we will send a representative to participate at that time." ”
After Kang Xiaowei and Jing Jing left, General Terauchi Shouichi said coldly: "Inform all officers above the major general level in the headquarters to immediately go to the conference room for a meeting." ”
The atmosphere in the conference room was very solemn, and the matter of Chen Feng's department sending two lieutenant-level officers to negotiate directly with the commander of the front army soon spread within the North China Front Army, which was a naked slap in the face, and all the officers were silent, if they were targeted by His Excellency the commander at this time, then the days after that would be very sad.
"Your Excellency Commander"
All the officers in the room quickly stood up, then bowed their heads in respect.
Terauchi Shou 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 expatriates but has to pay three times the price, a total of 75,000 prisoners of China, what do you think the front army should do?" Shouichi Terauchi said straight to the point.
"Your Excellency, you can't trade with them in any case, according to the information we have received from the special high-tech department, more than half of the troops under Chen Feng's command in China have been converted from prisoners. If we agree to make a deal with them, then it will be equivalent to sending 75,000 qualified soldiers to Chen Feng's subordinates, which will be very detrimental to our annihilation of Chen Feng's subordinates in the future. Major General Michiichi Suzuki, the newly arrived head of the North China Front Army of the Special High-Tech Branch, stood up and said.
"I have already agreed to this deal, and you should have heard a little about the situation in China. However, the actual situation is far more serious than you think, and the major consortia in the country have written to His Majesty the Emperor, requesting the removal of me, the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, and at the same time negotiating with the people of China to exchange land for prisoners and exchange those expatriates back. His Majesty the Emperor, on the other hand, is putting pressure on the military ministry that if our army cannot solve this problem, the army will cut its military budget by one-third next year. Three days ago, the headquarters sent another report to the front army headquarters, ordering that the matter must be resolved within half a month, otherwise everyone will be held responsible, including the monarchs present. Shouichi Terauchi said coldly.
"Your Excellency, the cunning people of China must have understood 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. Yamashita Fengfumi, who had just been promoted to lieutenant general not long ago, stood up and said.
"Under the mountain, the imperial army is in a comprehensive passivity in this matter, and there is no ability to refuse at all, even if they know that this is a conspiracy and a trap, the front army must drill into it." General Shouichi Terauchi said mournfully.
"Your Excellency, Commander, in fact, there is still room for things to turn around." The chief of staff, Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe, thought for a while and said.
"What is the best plan for Gangbu-kun?"
"Your Excellency, the Chinese people's approach is actually understandable, and this kind of stratagem should be used against the enemy, and from this point of view, Chen Feng 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. Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe said.
"Gangbu-kun, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Terauchi Kobuki.
"The transaction must be made, otherwise it will not be possible to account to the people of the country or to His Majesty the Emperor. But it is up to us to decide who to exchange, the Chinese want prisoners of war, we don't use prisoners of war to trade with them, he captures our civilians, we also capture the Chinese civilians, and then disguise themselves as prisoners of war and exchange with them, so that our goal is achieved, and they only get a large number of farmers. In addition, the Imperial Army could also ask for help from the Ishii troops in Manchuria, who had so many good things in their hands that they could easily create a plague in one area, and they thought that this was a good opportunity for our army to eliminate Chen Feng's troops. Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe said grimly.
"Yo Xi, exchange civilians for civilians, and then let those civilians carry germs on their bodies, and then cause a plague in the jurisdiction of Chen Feng's department, with the medical level of the people of China, we don't need to eliminate them, I'm afraid it won't be long before Chen Feng's department is wiped out by the plague, Gangbu-jun is worthy of being the elite of the Japanese Empire, if you can really eliminate Chen Feng's department, Gangbu-jun deserves the first credit!" Yo West! General Shouichi Terauchi said excitedly.
"Your Excellency, Commander, but the method proposed by the Shina people to trade in batches has caused us a lot of trouble, and if there is a problem with the first transaction, then the Shina people will most likely cancel the transaction directly," Rear Admiral Kawabe Shozo reminded.
After being reminded by Major General Shozo Kawabe, Shouichi Terauchi suddenly thought of the transaction method that the Shina people said. As Major General Kawabe Shozo said, once there is a problem with the first transaction, the people of China will inevitably cancel the transaction directly, and then at least 20,000 expatriates will not be able to exchange it back. If it is only a third time, then to ensure that the first two transactions are not flawed, it will have to be handed over to at least 45,000 prisoners of war from the Chinese people, which is 30,000 fewer than 75,000, but still a surprising number.
"This lowly position has also been thought of, we can be divided into three locations for the same day of trading, let's just say that the prisoners of our army are held in different cities, it is too troublesome to trade in three batches, the three locations are exchanged on the same day is the most convenient, and the people of Bizhi should agree to our plan. Besides, we can't all trade as civilians, the people of China are not fools, and it is impossible for them not to scrutinize them. Therefore, we need some real prisoners of war, and the number must not be small, otherwise the people of China will see the flaws. Okabe Naosaburo said.
"Yo Xi, select 20,000 diehards from the prisoner of war camp, and then send a report to the Kwantung Army, asking them to capture 50,000 Chinese farmers from Manchuria, and then transport them to Tianjin by ship, and then let Shiro Ishii send a squadron to come over to assist us in our operation, hmph, this time we must uproot Chen Feng's headquarters." Shouichi Terauchi said with a hideous expression.
"Hail"
