The negotiation conditions proposed by the British to Tang Qiuli are ridiculous to a certain extent, so that Alexander and Ebson who go to Myitkyina in northern Burma are not stupid and stupid pigs like George, Myitkyina is a big trap, and it may not be known that if the British take themselves hostage and put them under house arrest, no matter how many troops in the independent division there are, they will have some scruples. //

Especially in the face of the war that may happen at any time, the Japanese army attacked Southeast Asia, the severity of this consequence is self-evident, with Tang Qiuli and his two lives as a person, he understands the British, John Niu can do it, and as for the exchange of prisoners of war, Tang Qiuli will not even give a sneer to the British.

Prisoners of war, only the British were captured, and the independent division did not even have a single prisoner of war in the hands of the British, Alexander wanted to play with the white wolf with empty gloves, and dreamed of it, but it was the six or seven thousand British prisoners in his own hands, Tang Qiuli wanted to make an article, of course, it would not be cheap to the British, and the knife was sharpened so fast that it was specially cut to the bones.

Moreover, the British did not have the capital to bargain, but Tang Qiuli had not yet paid attention to what the British would come up with in exchange for these prisoners, there was no shortage of guns and ammunition, aircraft, artillery, tanks, British goods were not much stronger than American goods and Soviet goods, but the warships of the British army in Asia made Tang Qiuli quite tempted.

Not long after the British envoy left, Tang Qiuli had not heard back from the British, and the matter of the independent division's arrest of six or seven thousand British prisoners was deliberately revealed by the British ambassador to China to Chairman Chiang, and moreover, he also gave a subtle and subtle warning.

Tang Qiuli had nothing to do here, but Chairman Jiang was sweating profusely, and in the Huangshan Mansion, in front of many henchmen and staff, he reproached Tang Qiuli, "Niang Xipi, what kind of fame is Tang Qiuli doing, are the British so easy to offend?" Chairman Jiang said very angrily.

Yang Yongtai, secretary general of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, has always been Chairman Chiang's chief think tank, and at this time, he could not help but speak, "Commission, this matter has a great impact, and if the British exert pressure on the national government, we must come up with countermeasures as soon as possible, so as not to be passive when the time comes." ”

As soon as Yang Yongtai said this, Chairman Jiang became even more angry, "That Tang Qiuli is just restless, and I can tolerate it no matter how much I toss it in China, but now, it has been put on the head of the British, making us very passive, and he has caused trouble, let me explain, Niang Xipi, this chairman - let him do a good job!" ”

Chairman Chiang lost his temper, there is a reason for him, the independent division and the British on the border line, it doesn't matter how they fight, compared with the war with the Japanese, it is simply negligible, but Tang Qiuli didn't know that the string was wrong, and he actually captured thousands of British soldiers, so why don't the British rush and don't go crazy?

If the British are not happy, they will sabotage Chairman Chiang's plan, and the whole world knows that the British and Americans wear the same pants, and Madame Soong Meiling, Chiang's wife, who is like Chiang, is launching a diplomatic offensive in the United States, trying to seek the support of the Americans and open up channels for all-round cooperation with the Americans.

This is also the external support that Chairman Chiang sought in order to confront Tang Qiuli's growing power, and his insiders believed that sooner or later there would be a power struggle with Tang Qiuli, and after defeating the Japanese, the throne of the first person in the Republic of China would decide the question of ownership.

Chairman Jiang's other confidant**, in his heart, has retreated to second place, the reason is very simple, ** does not have the capital to fight with Tang Qiu, compared with the central government, it is also a weak party, Chairman Jiang's eyes will naturally not stare at **.

All his attention is on Tang Qiuli, who is getting fatter and fatter, since the Japanese sent troops to the south of China, and the Central Army commanded by Xue Yue, blocked on the front line of Loushan Pass, Chongqing was able to be safe and sound, after a false alarm, it increased Chairman Jiang's confidence, and his own troops are also very capable of fighting!

Furthermore, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were pursued by Tang Qiuli's independent division for thousands of miles, and finally, after being forced into the Savage Mountain, there was no Japanese army in China except for the northeast, and Chairman Chiang no longer had any doubts or worries about whether he could defeat Japan.

Madame Chiang is going to the United States to obtain the full cooperation of the Americans and the government of the Republic of China, which is the biggest capital for Chairman Chiang and Tang Qiuli to make a statement.

Without the help and support of the Americans, Chairman Chiang did not dare to move a finger against Tang Qiuli, and he even sensitively thought that Tang Qiuli would not do it sooner or later, but just rushed to fight with the British and arrest several thousand British soldiers at the critical period when Madame Chiang went to the United States to carry out diplomatic activities, and he also arrested several thousand British soldiers, all in order to sabotage Chairman Chiang's plan.

As for the information about Madame Chiang's trip to the United States, Tang Qiuli did not fail to get it, and the intelligence department and investigation department of the independent division and the intelligence network in Chongqing covered all regions.

For such a big matter, there is no news at all, and it is reported to the division commander Tang Qiuli, the director of the intelligence department, Yu Deshui, and the director of the investigation department, Shen Jun, should have been killed, and Tang Qiuli's attitude towards this is very clear, ignoring it, and letting Chairman Jiang toss it, as long as it does not hinder the independent division from fighting the Japanese.

Chairman Chiang had lost his temper enough, and under the advice of his staff, in his capacity as chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, he sent Tang Qiuli an official letter to Tang Qiu, the content of which was very simple, asking Tang Qiuli to put the national interests first, unconditionally release the British prisoners of war, and send them out of the country as a gift, so as to immediately end the war with the British in the border area, and to sign an agreement with the British on behalf of the national government, and to make appropriate concessions.

Tang Qiuli was a little angry, the British were not in a hurry, it was their compatriots, but Chairman Jiang was in a hurry, and before the negotiations began, he first mentioned concessions, where to start, it was simply inexplicable!

He really wanted to fly to Chongqing and shout into the ears of Chairman Chiang and the senior officials of the national government, "You understand what is going on, the British took the initiative to ask for negotiations, they can't beat the Chinese, this is a disguised alliance under the city, to promote peace by war." ”

Tang Qiuli was angry in his heart, and his reply to Chairman Chiang and the government was quite cold and unpolite, "Chairman Chiang, the British are forced to make peace because of the form, and at present, our independent division has the upper hand, how can we make concessions before the negotiations start?" ”

"As for the British prisoners of war, Chairman Chiang does not have to worry, this is an important part of the negotiations, I have specific arrangements, forgive Qiu Li's decision to obey his fate, please the chairman and all your colleagues, in the company to wait for good news, Qiu Li presided over the negotiations, has his own opinions, the government must not interfere in this matter!"

If you simply refuse, you will almost tell Chairman Chiang directly, don't meddle in this matter, it's useless to add to the chaos, the British haven't spoken yet, they think of concessions first, isn't this bending the knee to make peace, accompany the careful? Although it is not the unit of your Chairman Jiang's subordinate unit, I Tang Qiuli is also the vice chairman, and they are all Chinese's army.

As for Chairman Jiang's expression after receiving the reply, he scolded the heavens and the earth angrily, or he was like thunder, shouting, "Tang Qiuli has a backbone behind the melon seeds in his head," then it is unknown, and it will not be the issue that Tang Qiuli wants to care about, whoever has the strength has the right to speak, this is the last word.

Sixty or seventy British prisoners were still imprisoned in the prisoner-of-war camp at Tengchong, and Alexander and Ebson finally heard back and agreed to negotiate the terms proposed by Tang Qiuli, during which the armies of both sides ceased hostilities.

To put it bluntly, it is to ask the troops of the independent division to stop attacking the British ** team, this is nothing more than a good-looking British, a kind of self-esteem, and play with words, the British army wants to be hostile, and they can't wait to chop up the ** squadron and eat it, but they have to have that capital and strength.

In addition, the issue of prisoners of war is not included in the terms of this negotiation, and it will be reserved for the next negotiation, and then make specific negotiations, Tang Qiuli read the British reply, and sneered, laughing at the division's headquarters, many staff officers and confidential personnel felt a chill.

The British are gambling, gambling that they will not dare to kill six or seven thousand prisoners of war, leaving this big burden to themselves, killing and killing, and it is useless to keep them, and they are raising thousands of people, judging by the British thinking, it will not be long before they will unconditionally release the prisoners of war.

And the British can solve this thorny problem without paying any price, Tang Qiuli sneered, it is precisely because of this that the British are too smart, they will not keep thousands of prisoners of war who eat dry, but they will not raise idlers.

Let the UK. The soldiers eat and drink for nothing, there is nothing to do, these young masters and soldiers are cheap, there are several military enterprises in Kunming, and thousands of literate laborers have been added who do not need to start work, presumably Zhang Quan, the minister of logistics, will be so happy that the folds on his face are opened.

Also, these thousands of British prisoners are a good card that Tang Qiuli can play at any time, whether it is an economic card or a political card, if these prisoners of war know that Alexander and Ebson did not save them, as long as they send a few handwritten letters to the prisoners of war internationally, scolding Her Majesty the Queen, and talking about the general and the governor, the effect should be explosive, right?

The British are shameless, Tang Qiuli has no obligation to protect their face, the British want to take advantage, Tang Qiuli has a way, let them lift a stone to hit their own feet, and it is a continuous smash, to see who is distressed and has a pain, and in the end, they have to pay several times the price.

Alexander and Ebson, who had set out from Yangon, had arrived at Myitkyina by car with a large number of gos, but also with a full stomach full of bargaining, and along the way, they were in high spirits and full of praise for the scenery of northern Burma.

When the convoy crossed the Yunnan-Burma border and saw it, Alexander and Ebson could not be happier.
