Chapter 218: Selling Prisoners (2)

Xue Ru's actions can't be hidden from anyone, not to mention that in order to put pressure on the Japanese side, in two or three days, whether it is the nationalized area or the Japanese occupation area, the news will spread.

Snow Fox Xue Ru did another thing that surprised the world, that is, openly negotiated with the Japanese and returned the captured prisoners to the Japanese, which was tantamount to traitorous behavior.

For a while, there were different opinions, and there were all kinds of opinions. hated the Japanese and scolded Xue Ru as a traitor and a national thief. Those so-called peaceful people praised Xue Ru for doing the right thing, and some remained silent.

Especially the few people who know Xue Ru, although they don't know what medicine is sold in Xue Ru's gourd, but I believe that it is not so simple. Cunning vixen, Snow Fox Witch has such a good heart? I'm afraid it's impossible to return the devil at all.

However, the British Times, Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao, and American Time magazine overwhelmingly highly praised Xue Ru's behavior. Only the high-level figures inside Snow Fox understood that most of these were instructed by Xue Ru.

Sun Zheng, a snow fox diplomat, and Zhang Donglin, a civil affairs officer, are the busiest, receiving news media and people from all walks of life every day. The headquarters of the Snow Fox Corps moved into Yingtan City, and outsiders rarely saw Xue Ru, and Xue Ru never participated in these political issues for unknown reasons, which became very mysterious.

In the headquarters of the Central China Dispatch Army in Nanjing, General Yamada Otozo and Chief of Staff Major General Shozo Kawabe didn't know what to do? I had to let Lord Taylor John stay, saying that he was asking for instructions from the base camp. More than 4,000 prisoners of war had to pay 6 million pounds, which was close to 100 million yuan in yen, not to mention that Yamada Otozo couldn't get the money, and even if he did, he didn't dare to agree, so he had to report to the base camp for instructions.

In fact, General Yamada Otozo also knew in his heart that there was probably no possibility for Japan not to accept it, because Xue Ru intended to publicize this matter and make it known to the world. If Japan did not agree, then only one of the more than 4,000 prisoners of war would end up and be killed.

As for the question of whether Xue Ru dared to kill, no one doubted it internationally or in China. Among the more than 2,000 people in Anqing City, there were only more than 200 Japanese, and the rest were all Chinese traitors, and more than 1,000 men, women, and children were all killed, not to mention these prisoners of war. The Snow Fox Devil is not called in vain, it is known for its ferocity and cruelty.

Let Yamada Otozo think that Japan will compromise because if the Japanese government does not care, resulting in the killing of more than 4,000 people, I am afraid that it will lose the support of the people and the cabinet will fall, so he is very polite to Taylor.

Although I know in my heart that this Englishman is not a good thing, it is very nice to say. What in order to reduce the number of killings, I can't bear to let a large number of Japanese people be killed. Saying that Britain is a civilized country, a messenger of good intentions, and he is not used to the barbarism of the Orientals before he came forward, and it was the power of the British Empire that forced Xue Ru to agree. In fact, the greed in the depths of his eyes, can't Yamada Otozo see it?

But for the lives of more than 4,000 prisoners of war and for his career, Yamada Otozo had to endure it, treat Lord Taylor with a smile, and swear in his heart that he would not let go of the British if he had the opportunity. These Westerners don't have a good thing, the Great Japanese Empire is the master of Asia, and it is not the turn of the British to dictate, but now Yamada Otozo has no choice.

Yamada Otozo didn't know that Xue Ru was proposing a living 1,000 pounds or dollars, but Taylor, a greedy fellow, heard that the extra money from the sale was split with Xue Ru, and immediately raised the price to 1,200 pounds when he arrived in Nanjing. In this way, with an extra 800,000, he will be able to get an extra 400,000, and if you add 10% of what Xue Ru promised, he will get 800,000 at once.

The Taylor family is not a royal noble, nor a hereditary noble, but a lord, that is, a title that has been given for merit. It was inferior among those old aristocrats, and therefore the family was not in London, but in Birmingham.

Taylor is even more marginal, and his status in the family is not high, so he was stationed in Hong Kong. The money has nothing to do with the family, and the money he gets belongs entirely to him. If it weren't for the fear that Japan wouldn't be able to afford it, Taylor wanted to raise the price to two thousand.

Of course, in order to get Japan to agree, Taylor was talking about how vicious and brutal Xue Ru was, and if Japan didn't agree, these more than 4,000 people would probably die immediately, and they were working hard in the concentration camp at this time, and life was better than death.

General Yamada Otozo couldn't stop Taylor from saying anything, so that the Japanese army knew about it. In order to stabilize the army, Kokoyamada Otozo had no choice but to urge the country to reply as soon as possible.

The speed is indeed not slow, and Yamada Otozo does not know how to study it in China, but Ugaki Hengichi Nakasa, a staff officer of the General Staff Headquarters who came from the direction of Taiwan, is specially here to deal with this matter and has full authority to deal with it.

Yamada Otozo understands that Ugaki Hengichi is not a celebrity, he has never heard of this person, and he is still a Nakasa, which shows that the Japanese base camp wants to deal with it in a low-key manner, after all, it is a very faceless thing.

The Japanese also had no experience in this area, they fought countless wars, and when the war was not over, they even ransomed prisoners of war with money, and never did. This is not like the behavior of a war between states. Xue Ru lost the honor of a soldier in doing so, and became a naked bandit.

As far as the Chinese government is concerned, Chairman Chiang of Chongqing has remained silent, and only these people, headed by Gao Zongwu, Mei Siping, and Chen Gongbo, have made wild remarks and severely criticized Xue Runa. believes that she should be dismissed from the army and take back her military power, which is an insult to the national body and the reputation of the Chinese army, will make the international community laugh, and the war between countries has become a bandit.

But as soon as they spoke, the newspapers and radio stations immediately burst into a wave of anti-scolding, saying that Japan deserves death for occupying our country's territory, killing our people, and plundering China's economy. Xue Ru did not kill them, and agreed to redeem them with money, which was a great mercy, and the national government should give Snow Fox money, and then kill these prisoners of war to avenge the revenge of the countrymen.

The newspapers in the Kuomintang region quarreled, making it impossible for Chiang Kai-shek to do anything wrong, and he offended some people by dealing with Xue Ru, and offended some people by not dealing with it. Especially the generals in the army, in the third, fifth, and ninth war zones, Xue Ru's Snow Fox Corps has a very high reputation, and he just got her into the Whampoa Military Academy, isn't it a slap in the face at this time? I also have an excuse to attack myself.

Those people in Hongyan Village said that they appeased passive resistance, so they couldn't deal with it anyway, and they couldn't stop Xue Ru, so they could only keep silent. The demotion of Xue Ru's behavior to the personal behavior of an army general has nothing to do with the Nationalist Government.

It is even more nonsense that the Ministry of Finance proposed to take back this money to state ownership. Does the national government still have an image? Originally, Japan wanted to demote the Chongqing government to a local government and speed up the establishment of a puppet regime. Wang Jingwei had already left for Japan, and at this time, Chairman Chiang could not mess around, so he could only be angry in his heart. This Xue Ru is too unconscious, and always makes a little thing to stab Lou Zi. Originally, the counterattack on Nanchang annihilated a large number of Japanese troops to recapture Nanchang, and I was thinking about what reward to give her and restore the post of commander, so I thought about it.

It seems that He Yingqin and Chen Bui are right, disobedient people like Xue Ru can't give too much power, and they are not suitable to control too many troops, otherwise I am afraid that they will get out of control. No matter what the government thinks, the transaction between Xue Ru and the Japanese side has not stopped.

Ugaki Hengichi Nakasa looked at the little woman in front of him with strange eyes. He can only think so, Xue Ru is too young, how can he not be connected with the strong and fierce, the appearance is delicate and beautiful, but also very petite, and he is not very old, and he has nothing to do with the iron-blooded soldiers. But this girl, who makes people think that humans and animals are harmless at first glance, is the notorious snow fox devil, who kills people without blinking.

Not only did it make the Japanese division commander jealous, but even the army-level generals had a headache. The pressure generated by Xue Ru's reputation made Ugaki Hengyi Zhongzuo put away his usual arrogance and was a little cautious: "General Xue, the contemptible people sent troops on behalf of Central China to discuss with your army about the soldiers of our army. ”

Xue Ru was not cautious, her serious expression was just because of Taylor's presence. This Englishman will be of great use in the future, although Xue Ru doubts the truth of what Shu Ping said, but it is more than 30 million pounds, so she can't help but worry about it.

Although Britain, a declining empire, is in the twilight of the mountains, China's strength at this time cannot be compared with them. The British, who even the United States looks down on, think that they are superior, let alone face China. In fact, it is not determined by the strength of the state, what aristocratic commoners. But Xue Ru couldn't help but pay attention to these, so he maintained a noble and cold attitude.

The more she is like this, the more Taylor thinks it is right, as Xue Ru should be, noble and arrogant, looking down on people. There is still a murderous aura in the eyes of the Japanese, which is too perfect. It made Taylor feel like facing the Queen of England, and he became respectful.

Xue Ru's face didn't even have a trace of gentleness, and he called his name: "Ugaki Hengyi, with your identity, you actually don't have the qualifications to see me." I saw you today because of Lord Taylor's face, that is, for his sake, that I gave you this chance, otherwise you would have to bring back four thousand two hundred and thirty-five corpses. ”

Ugaki Hengichi felt a burst of anger in his heart, but he didn't feel like meeting other Chinese officials, so he didn't get angry, and could only flash a trace of unhappiness on his face. Xue Ru said coldly: "Whether you are the first Japanese to leave in front of me alive depends on whether I am satisfied." Don't think you're here to negotiate, I'm not going to kill you. The two countries are fighting each other, and this sentence is useless to me. China and Japan are national enemies and family hatreds, as long as it is Japanese, I will kill it, even if the emperor comes, I will kill it as well. Kill you, Yamada Otozo will have to send someone else, you don't matter, so don't upset me. ”

Arrogance, arrogance, this is Taylor's evaluation of Xue Ru. However, looking at Snow Fox's record, it does have arrogant capital. Xue Ru said that he was very proud of giving him face and giving face to the UK. Xue Ru said to Sun Zheng beside him: "You guys talk, I'll just listen." ”

Sun Zheng nodded and said to Ugaki Hengichi: "Since Mr. Taylor agreed, we have no nonsense, no matter how disabled it is, as long as it is not dead, it will be counted as one, one thousand and two pounds per person, and the money will be transferred to the designated account, and we will hand it over to you." You can send someone to pick up people at the Gimil Bridge, ten days, I will only give you ten days, if you can't do it, then you will pick up the corpse at the Gimil Bridge. Oh, not to pick up the corpses, it's to watch us kill, four thousand two hundred and thirty-five, we will shoot there en masse. ”

This is not a negotiation at all, it is a verdict. Ugaki Hengichi Nakasa also wanted to discuss whether he could reduce the price, but Snow Fox didn't give him a chance at all and didn't let him talk. As soon as I wanted to argue, I immediately understood that this was not business, nor was it trade. The knife is in the hands of the snow fox, they don't care about fame, but the Great Japanese Empire should pay attention to popular opinion and political influence. Since the base camp has given him permission, he can only agree, it is not good for him to argue, he can only bring humiliation on himself.

He also nodded: "Miss Xue, the Imperial Japanese Army agreed to pay money, hoping to ensure the safety of our soldiers." ”

Xue Ru didn't speak, and Sun Zheng had a sarcastic sneer on his face: "Ugaki Hengichi, don't be embarrassed, return the Japanese Imperial Army, in front of the snow fox in the future, don't say this, be careful that the transaction is canceled because of you, I think the families of the more than 4,000 prisoners of war can kill you." ”

Ugaki Hengichi was very depressed in his heart, this was originally a normal diplomatic word, and it was also a normal request. Even in the face of pirates, this is normal, and the people of Snow Fox don't even have the character of a bandit. But he really didn't dare to say anything, because he really canceled the deal, Xue Ru's ruthless methods really killed the more than 4,000 prisoners of war, and those family members could really kill him after he returned to China.

I secretly swore in my heart that I wouldn't say anything about dealing with Snow Fox in the future, so I had to bow my head and never say anything. Next, the transaction went smoothly, and according to Sun Zheng's request, the Japanese side transferred the money into the Royal Bank of England, opened an account in Xue Ru's name, and established an overseas account for the Snow Fox Army.

As soon as the deal was successful, the camp where the prisoners of war were held immediately let out a scream of ghosts and wolves. It's not torture to extract a confession, because Snow Fox has nothing to get from the devil's mouth. But this screaming lasted for two or three days.

Jinriqiao is a small village, because it is located in the middle of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army and the Snow Fox Corps, and the common people have moved away and become an empty village. At this time, 4,000 Japanese troops were placed here, a large area, and Snow Fox was guarded by only one battalion of troops.

Ugaki Hengichi Nakasa, who came to pick him up, had a blue face, and fire was about to burst out in his eyes. But he didn't dare to bring too many people, and he didn't dare to bring weapons, and Snow Fox had the lives of more than 4,000 soldiers of the imperial army in his hands. He had no choice but to send back to find the cars and oxen and wagons to bring back his soldiers.

Because all the 4,235 men were wounded, more than half of them were crippled. But does he dare not? Then more than 4,000 people will die, and don't even think about getting a penny back. Xue Ru, a vixen, will not keep his word. Even the Englishman with a noble face changed his face, he really turned his face when he got the money, villain!
