Chapter 679 Sweet dreams are sweet dreams after all
Zhou Cheng didn't talk much nonsense to middle-aged people.
After all, he is just a messenger and has no say. As long as he achieves his goal, he can pass on his ideas to the Japanese military headquarters.
In less than two hours, the negotiation content between the middle-aged man and Zhou Cheng appeared at the Japanese Army Headquarters in Taiyuan.
The Chief of Staff only glanced at his head and shook it like a rattle, without hesitation and refused: "Impossible, we will definitely not be able to compensate the National Rescue Army for so many oceans!"
"Even if we promised to give them the equipment and ammunition of the security brigade, it would not be worth 300,000 oceans! In the past, when we fought with the Chinese army, we seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition, all piled up in the warehouse and rusted. It was easy to organize the equipment of a security brigade without spending a piece of ocean, so the compensation of 300,000 yuan proposed by the National Salvation Army is very unreasonable!"
"The requirement to reduce the organization and compensate them for 150,000 oceans is even more unreasonable. This is completely extortion. The military pay we give to the security brigade to every soldier, not to him. Now that the troops are out of the organization, these military pay will naturally be gone. Why should we compensate Zhou Cheng for the military pay!"
"As for the profits of 50,000 oceans, it is indeed our army, so we can give them some."
"After the commander becomes the deputy commander, many officers of the National Salvation Army will be demoted to the next level. In order to alleviate their dissatisfaction, it is reasonable to give them some compensation appropriately!"
"That's how we calculate it, we will give them at most 100,000 oceans of compensation."
"The three-month military salary I promised to compensate them will also change."
"One hundred thousand oceans are calculated based on one army. Now we only provide the organization of the two security brigades of the National Salvation Army. One third of the 100 thousand oceans will definitely be reduced, and at most 70,000 oceans will be given to them."
"In addition to the 100,000 oceans I just calculated, a total of 170,000 oceans!"
The commander thought the Chief of Staff’s analysis was very reasonable, and after hearing it, he showed an expression of agreement: “I can still accept 170,000 oceans.”
"But it would be even better if we could find a way to suppress the compensation to 100,000 oceans, and the remaining 70,000 oceans were left to compensate the national rescue army in the form of medicines and weapons and missiles!"
The Chief of Staff instantly understood what the Chief said: "The Chief is wise, and the military expenditure of the military headquarters is limited. If the National Salvation Army is given, the expenses in other places will be much less. If there are too many, we cannot explain it to the above."
"It doesn't matter if medicines and weapons and ammunition are still in war. As long as Shanxi is still fighting, a large number of weapons and ammunition and medicines will be consumed every day. It is easy to extract the weapons and ammunition and medicines from the military's promise to the National Rescue Army from the military supplies. We can also list these things as combat losses, making the front army feel that we did not pay much for the recruitment of the National Rescue Army, otherwise the above will definitely have opinions on us!"
The commander nodded and then turned his attention to the second half of the telegram: "The telegram said: The Second World War Command already knows the news that we will negotiate with the National Salvation Army again, and has begun to find ways to disrupt the negotiations. They suspect that the leaker is on our side, so that we can find out the matter. By the way, we remind us to give the National Salvation Army a reply as soon as possible to stabilize them, so as not to stop negotiating with us in order to stabilize the morale of the troops."
"Chief of Staff, what do you think about this? Do you think the leaker is really on our side?"
The Chief of Staff thought for a moment and nodded: "I highly agree with the analysis in the telegram. The leaker is on our side, and it is very likely that he is in the command center!"
"Only a handful of people from the National Salvation Army know about this. There are more than ten people here who know about this, especially the telegrams we communicate with the frontline. Each telegram has to be handled by several people before it will appear in our hands. It is very easy to have problems!"
"As for the impact of this accident on the negotiations, Bei Zhi thinks it will only be big, not small!"
"The best solution is to reach an agreement as soon as possible, so that the National Salvation Army can openly announce its departure from the Second World War Zone, join the Great Japanese Empire, and adapt the Imperial Army."
"As long as the National Salvation Army's actions to reorganize the Imperial Army becomes a fact, it will be futile no matter how much the World War II zone intervenes, and it will not have any effect."
The commander made a decision as he listened, and as soon as the chief of staff finished speaking, he began to give orders: "You are responsible for finding out the leakers in the command center, and you must be fast. Before you find out about this, change a group of people to contact the front line!"
After saying that, he turned his head to look at the intelligence officer on the side: "You immediately summarize the analysis of me and the Chief of Staff into a telegram, and let our negotiator tell the National Salvation Army that this is the best conditions we can give them, see what they think, and find out Zhou Cheng's final bottom line by the way!"
"I continue to contact the Front Army Command and persuade the Commander to agree to give the National Salvation Army an organization!"
"As long as the Commander nods, all the problems we are facing now will be solved!"
At the Second World War II Command, the Chief of Staff has been paying attention to the progress of the negotiations between the National Salvation Army and the Japanese, hoping that the negotiations will be exactly the same as the Commander-in-Chief’s judgment. Both sides disagree with each other’s conditions and ended with the breakdown of the negotiations!”
Dreams are dreams after all. With the arrival of intelligence, the dreams of the commander-in-chief and the chief of staff were suddenly shattered.
The Japanese did not refuse Zhou Cheng's lion's big speech on the spot as they thought, but instead agreed with Zhou Cheng's request. In order to motivate the North China Front Command, the commander of the First Army was dispatched and personally called the commander of the Front Command.
"Commander-in-Chief, I think the Japanese must be crazy!" The Chief of Staff repeatedly looked at the information in his hand three times, and was shocked and shouted with disbelief.
"The commander is not a brigade commander. He has more than 10,000 guns under his command, as well as a special artillery force, and his own defense zone... The overall strength is very strong. The Japanese came up and gave the National Savior Army a unit. Wouldn't he be worried that Zhou Cheng would attack them in turn after he became bigger in their hands?"
The commander was also frightened by the Japanese's generous decision. Although he didn't understand the Japanese's actions, facts were better than words, and the only thing he could do was accept it.
Since this negotiation will not break down, we can only rely on Yuan Shushan.
Faced with this sudden accident, the commander-in-chief's face became solemn again, looking at the Chief of Staff's serious order: "You inform Yuan Shushan immediately, the Japanese are likely to agree to the adaptation conditions proposed by Zhou Cheng."
"He must seize the time to win over the troops in the National Salvation Army and have the strength to confront Zhou Cheng as soon as possible."
"Once Zhou Cheng publicly decides to leave the war zone and surrender to the Japanese, he will immediately break with Zhou Cheng as the new commander of the National Salvation Army, and he will also kill Zhou Cheng with lightning speed and completely grasp the command of the National Salvation Army!"
At the Yangquan Command of the National Salvation Army, Yuan Shushan has been very motivated these days and has regained the high morale when he first came to the National Salvation Army. Not only is he full of confidence in his future, but he is also more confident in his work than before.
And this confidence is getting stronger day by day.
Although the regiment headquarters is trying to suppress the rumors that the National Rescue Army wants to surrender to the enemy and become a traitor, this kind of suppression will backfire before the final decision comes out, especially those officers and soldiers who have long been dissatisfied with the National Rescue Army and Zhou Cheng.
Yuan Shushan wandered among various troops every day, observing everyone's reactions, locked in the officers and soldiers who were dissatisfied with Zhou Cheng, negotiated with them, promised them high officials and generous salaries under the name of the war zone, and won them over to work hard for themselves.
After a few days, I have gained a lot every day.
