Datong is still in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. If they say the ammunition depot was bombed, it must have been bombed.
If you don't believe it, send someone to investigate, and they will be able to quickly fake the scene of the ammunition depot being bombed. Maybe they have already prepared it before the negotiation, and they don't even have to forge it.
Therefore, Li Hao said that if there was no seizure, there was no seizure. The Lieutenant General, who had thought through all this, did not offer any excuse.
But he still insisted on his previous opinion: "No matter whether your army has seized a large amount of ammunition from Datong City, it is impossible for the war zone to compensate you for so much equipment and ammunition."
Li Hao didn't want the negotiation to collapse as soon as it started.
The five main regiments from the base area in northwestern Shanxi are dividing their forces to attack the remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops in Datong.
Some of them are trapped in strongholds, and some are trapped in coal mines...
No matter where it is, as long as it is captured, a few regiments can seize a large amount of materials and wealth.
Therefore, the longer this negotiation drags on, the more strongholds and coal mines these troops can capture in Datong, and the more things they can seize and transport back to their bases.
Looking at the lieutenant general, he changed the topic and said, "Since we can't reach an agreement, let's put this issue aside for now."
"Let's talk about the pensions for the sacrificed and seriously injured soldiers first."
Li Hao took out another list and handed it over: "This is the specific casualty data of our Eighth Route Army in the siege battle."
"According to the current pension standards, the war zone needs to give us a pension of 1.16 million oceans."
"Considering that there are also difficulties in the war zone, we don't need the pension for the lightly wounded. After all, they can return to the team after recovery. Let's round up the remaining pension, which is one million oceans."
Combined with the moisture in the weapons list just now, the lieutenant general is sure that the casualty list in his hand also has a lot of moisture.
If I guessed correctly, the Eighth Route Army should have doubled its casualty figures.
Even so, it still requires half a million oceans.
Based on my understanding of the Commander-in-Chief, the possibility of getting him to spend half a million dollars to compensate the Eighth Route Army, which had nothing to do with me, was almost zero.
For the sake of Datong, it would be nice to get 100,000 yuan.
This was much different from the price asked by the Eighth Route Army, so the Lieutenant General knew without thinking that they would not agree.
But no matter what, as the negotiator of the Jinsui Army, I must express my own opinions and views.
He took a deep breath and replied: "One million oceans is absolutely impossible. The war zone will give you at most 100,000 oceans."
Li Hao had just guessed that the Jinsui Army would give the Eighth Route Army at most 100,000 yuan.
The Eighth Route Army is nominally under the command of the World War II Zone, but it has its own independent command authority. Maybe one day the two sides will become enemies.
I would be grateful if I could give the Eighth Route Army 100,000 yuan.
But he still showed an angry expression on the surface, and retorted dissatisfiedly: "Are your Jinsui Army playing tricks on our Eighth Route Army?"
"I want a pension of one million oceans. If you give me one hundred thousand, there is no way to bargain."
"If you want to give us a pension of 500,000 yuan, we can still talk."
"It's definitely not possible to just give him 100,000 yuan. There is no need to discuss this matter."
The lieutenant general guessed this result. He had no refutation and no reason to refute. He sighed and replied: "Then let's put this issue aside for now."
After finishing speaking, the lieutenant general also took out a few pieces of paper.
The Eighth Route Army was prepared for this negotiation, and the Jinsui Army did not come empty-handed.
In addition to arranging three main divisions near Datong in case of emergency, they also prepared a lot of things.
The pieces of paper the lieutenant general took out were those they had prepared in advance.
Looking at Chief of Staff Zhou, he said: "This is a commendation telegram from the war zone to your army."
"All officers participating in the war will be awarded a medal to all officers above the regiment level. Considering that many of your army's participating troops do not have formal establishments, the Commander-in-Chief specially gave you the establishment of three garrison regiments, including three lieutenant colonels and twenty majors.
.”
"In addition, I would like to reward your army with 50,000 yuan, 1,000 rifles, 10 light machine guns, and 100,000 rounds of rifle ammunition!"
"The funds, equipment and ammunition have been prepared, and they are right next to Datong."
"As long as our negotiations go smoothly, the defense troops will take them to Datong and hand them over to your army."
Li Hao really wanted to say: Is this sending beggars away?
You know, the Eighth Route Army seized more than 50,000 yuan from a trading house controlled by a Japanese chaebol in Datong City.
When the words came to his lips, Li Hao swallowed them back.
It's better than nothing.
Once the 50,000 yuan and those weapons and ammunition are in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, an infantry regiment can be formed immediately, and the regiment will be fully funded for the next two years.
Chief of Staff Zhou was not polite and readily accepted these telegrams.
Then he looked at the lieutenant general and asked: "How are the weapons, ammunition and pensions compensated for in the war zone calculated?"
"If this is not negotiated, even if I agree to evacuate Datong, the soldiers below will not agree."
"After all, they conquered Datong City with their blood and lives."
The lieutenant general's brows furrowed again.
The compensation that the war zone could give to the Eighth Route Army was too little, and the gap between it and their asking price was so great that there was no way to negotiate.
Li Hao suddenly suggested: "Since you can't make up your mind, I'll stop the negotiation first."
"You will report our army's requirements to the war zone, and we will discuss it after there is news from the war zone?"
"Okay!" The lieutenant general didn't want the negotiation to collapse like this, so he answered quickly.
After seeing off the Jinsui Army negotiators, Chief of Staff Zhou's serious face flashed a smile as soon as he returned to the office. He looked at Li Hao and ordered: "Close the office door first..."
After confirming safety, the smile on his face became thicker: "Comrade Li Hao, you have brought me too many surprises."
"As soon as the negotiations began, we obtained 50,000 yuan and the equipment of a main regiment from the Jinsui Army."
"If we continue to talk, there will definitely be more surprises waiting for us."
"To be honest, I was not optimistic about this negotiation at first, but now I am looking forward to it."
Li Hao's expression was always serious.
The equipment of 50,000 yuan and a regiment is far from meeting my requirements, and the difference is far behind.
More importantly, today's negotiation allowed me to roughly understand the Jinsui Army's trump card.
There is a big difference between what you want and what they can give you.
This means that the subsequent negotiations will be extremely difficult, full of twists and turns, and may even collapse.
The only one who can turn defeat into victory at that time is the back-up team he has arranged near the Jinsui Army, but doing so will definitely be much harder than defeating the opponent at the negotiation table, and the entire operation is full of risks. Any accident may lead to the destruction of Xiao Yuan and his entire army.
.
But the underground resources in Datong are too important. With them, the arsenal can continue to produce energy, and the garrison can be self-sufficient in weapons and ammunition, and is no longer subject to capture.
In order to achieve this goal, no matter how big the risk is, it is worth taking.
