When Lieutenant Colonel Noda returned to the World War II Area Headquarters, there were two other people in front of him besides Chief Yan.
As soon as Noda searched in his mind, he thought of the identities of these two people: the chief of staff of the Shanxi-Sui Army, the chief of the logistics department, and the absolute confidant of Commander Yan.
"Sir Yan, I wonder how your discussion goes and whether you agree to the Imperial Army's proposal!" Lieutenant Commander Noda was not a professional negotiator after all, so he couldn't help but ask as soon as he got started.
Just now, as the deputy chief of staff of a division, he actually received a telegram from Front Army Commander Okamura Neiji. The telegram clearly stated that he must facilitate this negotiation no matter what.
He had finally entered Okamura Neji's field of vision, and of course he could not let him down. Therefore, after receiving the telegram, Commander Noda Nakasabi was even more eager to promote this negotiation and show off in front of Okamura Neji!
The experienced Chief Yan could tell at a glance that the Japanese in front of him seemed to be more eager than yesterday.
"There must be some reason!" Chief Yan thought to himself.
After beckoning the director of the intelligence department to come over, he ordered in a low voice: "Go and check to see if anything happened in North China last night. We need to be quick, and maybe the cost of replacing those weapons can be halved!"
In the next hour, no matter what questions and requests were raised by Lieutenant Colonel Noda, Chief Yan gave them all and gave no substantive answers.
At this moment, the Director of Intelligence, who had left shortly, appeared at the door of the conference room.
"Since we can't reach an agreement for the time being, what I mean, old man, is that we all take a break for an hour, and you also ask your superiors via telegram to see if you can lower some negotiation requirements. In an hour, we will continue to negotiate!"
After saying that, Chief Yan left the conference room with his two subordinates and followed the Director of Intelligence into a nearby room!
"Sir is wise! A big event really happened in North China last night!"
"The Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, under the command of their Commander Chen, killed an entire Japanese infantry regiment in just one night!"
"The specific situation is still unclear, but the news is definitely true!"
A smile quickly flashed across Chief Yan's face, and then he replied with a look of realization: "So that's it, I just said that there is something wrong with the little devil today. The whole negotiation was very eager, and he was anxious to facilitate this negotiation!"
"Commander, what you mean is that the Japs don't have enough troops on the front line, and the division that is facing us urgently needs to go to the front line!" The chief of staff next to him was the first to react!"
"Eighty percent of it is like this!" Chief Yan affirmed.
Then he made a decision: "Since the little devils are begging us now, the cost of buying back those weapons and ammunition from them does not need to be so high!"
"What was the cost you discussed last night!"
"Ten thousand rifles, plus light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and ammunition, total 600,000 yuan. According to the current price of food, it adds up to more than 23 million kilograms of food!"
"At most, give the little devil ten million catties of grain!" Commander Yan decided with a sneer.
"There are also weapons and ammunition. This quantity is too small. The rifles will remain unchanged at 10,000. I must get 50 heavy machine guns, 150 light machine guns, and 3 mortars.
Ten gates!”
"It has always been the little devils who plotted against us. This time we finally caught the opportunity and we must blackmail them severely!"
The chief of staff next to him suggested: "Commander, there are also mountain cannons! The Japanese have robbed us of at least fifteen mountain cannons in the past two years. They are well-deserved heavy weapons. Why not take this opportunity to get them all back!"
Officer Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and replied: "I don't want it anymore!"
"Even if you want to blackmail them, you can't blackmail them too hard. Mountain artillery is different from ordinary weapons. The Japanese will probably not agree. There is no need to quarrel with the little Japanese over those mountain artillery. And for our Jinsui Army, it is also important to facilitate this negotiation.
beneficial!"
Lieutenant General Fujino's negotiation goal for Noda was 20 million kilograms of grain. After hearing that Chief Yan only agreed to give 10 million kilograms of grain, and that the imperial army would also add many light and heavy machine guns and mortars, Noda became anxious and refused on the spot.
Seeing that Chief Yan was sure that he would agree, Noda gritted his teeth and refused to let go. Noda could only say that he needed to ask his superiors for instructions!
As soon as Lieutenant Colonel Noda went out, the chief of staff next to him couldn't help but cursed: "You damn little Japs, a Lieutenant Colonel can be so arrogant. If it weren't for the fact that he is a Japs negotiator, I really want to chop him into pieces and feed them to the dogs.
.”
Commander Yan also suppressed his anger and hesitated for a long time before answering: "That's because they think our Jinsui Army is too weak and always loses battles in front of the Japanese. That's why they look down on our Jinsui Army and me, the commander of the front army, from the bottom of their hearts!"
"
"If the troops could kill an infantry regiment like the Eighth Route Army did, I wouldn't have to suffer so much in front of the Japanese!"
The chief of staff next to him suddenly suggested: "Commander, I have an idea!"
"Since the little devils look down on our Jinsui Army from the bottom of their hearts, then we will let the little devils know tonight that our Jinsui Army also has capital that makes them afraid!"
"As long as the little devils know that our Jinsui Army is not clay in their hands, they can squeeze it as much as they want. In tomorrow's negotiation, the devils will definitely respect us and agree to our demands!"
"How to do it?" Chief Yan asked, staring at the Chief of Staff!
"Let the heavy artillery regiment take action!" the chief of staff suggested.
"Didn't we form a heavy artillery regiment? We have been forming it for so long, but we have never fought against the Japs..."
"Pull out the heavy artillery regiment and fire three rounds of shells at the Japanese camp. I don't know how many little Japanese we can kill, but I am sure that as long as the little Japanese know that we have heavy artillery in our hands, they will be wary of us!"
"In the face of powerful heavy artillery shells, no matter how powerful the little devil's combat effectiveness is, no matter how good the equipment is, they can't withstand the explosion!"
Chief Yan said with a stern face: "We can also make the Japanese understand that if they don't agree to our request, not a single soldier of the division they have deployed in southwestern Shanxi will be mobilized!"
"No! Not only can't they be transferred, but there may also be heavy casualties!"
Then he ordered: "Just follow your suggestion and let the little devils know that our Jinsui Army also has something to worry about."
At the Japanese Division Headquarters in Linfen City, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening. Lieutenant General Fujino was still not sleepy at all, frowning and sitting in front of the table thinking about the problem.
The conditions proposed by the Jinsui Army are too low, far lower than what they want. If they agree, they will suffer a big loss, and they will also insult the reputation of the Imperial Army. If they don't agree, Okamura Neji will not
Let yourself go.
"Jingle Bell……"
Just when Fujino looked confused and didn't know how to make a decision, the phone on the table in front of him rang.
"Hello, Commander!" After learning that Okamura Neji was on the other end of the phone, Fujino still answered humbly even though he was not standing in front of him.
"Bagaya Road, Noda-kun, haven't the negotiations with the Jinsui Army ended yet? Two days have passed, what did you do for food?" Before he could report, Okamura Neji's loud curses came from the receiver.
.
Lieutenant General Fujino did not expect that the commander would be so angry and so anxious to facilitate this negotiation.
