Chapter 250: The First Round of Negotiations
The sky suddenly became cloudy, and the good weather that had been in the past few days finally ended. The cold and bone-black north wind blew from the river, and dark clouds over the sky of Nanjing City were pressing down.¥f.¥f
The sky is gray and the already sparse figures on the streets are even rarer.
"This ghost weather, the people are going to suffer again!"
"Conghu!"
"Ah!" On the hill, Cong Hu heard the sound coming from behind, and his head shrank slightly, and his eyes looked at Leng Feng without any freedom.
"Doctor Tang, Staff Officer Wu." Tang Jing and Wu Xiaoyun came together. Both women were wearing cotton jackets, looking a little bloated, and they couldn't hide their inner beauty.
Tang Jing is like a blooming daffodil, with a fragrant smell and a pleasant and elegant taste, while Wu Xiaoyun is somewhat like a combination of Aoxue wintersweet and Tianshan snow lotus.
It is arrogant and cold, and has its own flavor.
"Sir Leng, don't you know that you are a wounded person and are in the mood to climb such a high mountain. Are you watching the sunrise or climbing a high place to see the distance?"
"I have broken ribs, not broken leg bones. Doctor Tang, I am a wounded person, but I have freedom of movement, right?" Leng Feng couldn't help but retorted.
"You can't exercise vigorously now, you have to rest in bed."
"I'm almost sick when I stayed in the house all day. I just came out to breathe, so do you care?"
"If you weren't my patient, I wouldn't bother with you, so as not to let someone say that my medical skills are not good in the future and I will cure your two rotten bones." Tang Jing hummed angrily.
"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone that it was the bone you cured me."
"quiet!"
Huh?
"Xiaoyun, have you learned to say another word?" Leng Feng was a little surprised. Wu Xiaoyun could actually call out Tang Jing's name. In short, this is the fourth word that Wu Xiaoyun learned to say.
The four characters, the first three characters are related to him, and the fourth character is actually Tang Jing's name.
These four words are Leng Feng's name, "Leng" and "Feng". There is also the "treatment" that Wu Xiaoyun asked Tang Jing to treat Leng Feng's injury. The last one is Tang Jing's word "Jing".
Judging from this trend, Wu Xiaoyun's ability to recover language functions has accelerated.
Leng Feng was not very clear about the reason. But this is a good phenomenon. Wu Xiaoyun was able to restore his speaking function, and he was happier than anyone else.
A hint of shame appeared on Wu Xiaoyun's cold face.
"No, good, good. Haha." Leng Feng was very happy and laughed happily.
A strange thing flashed deep in Tang Jing's eyes, as if there was a slight unhappiness, but it disappeared soon. When she learned that Wu Xiaoyun had lost her speaking function because of her childhood experience, as a doctor, she felt deeply sympathy and pity in her heart.
Such a woman with physiological defects can be so strong that she can do what many normal people cannot do, which is admirable in itself.
"Brother, it's windy outside, so go back." Cong Hu criticized Leng Feng for a Japanese-style yellow-colored military coat.
"Well, go back." Leng Feng nodded. It was indeed too eye-catching for so many people to gather in such a barren mountain. If they were seen, it would be troublesome.
In extraordinary times, you should pay more attention.
Today is the day for the first round of "capital exchange" negotiations between China and Japan. It has not been announced to the public and everything is still under secret.
I have seen the negotiations between the two sides. The negotiation location for the "capital replacement" was chosen in the ancestral hall of a Gao family in Qiligang.
Both sides have three representatives, one translator and one clerk.
The two sides sent a total of ten personnel.
The time is, starting at 9:30 in the morning.
On the "Yasha", Liang Dong, as the main negotiator, Song Yunfeng, Zhang Fengxiang, and translator Fang Xiaoyang and clerk, participated in the negotiations.
On the Japanese side, the main negotiators were Colonel Nagayong, Shibuya Kazuo and Ikeda Masao served as deputy representatives, and the translator was Shizukawa and a Japanese clerk.
The negotiation venue was briefly arranged. Both sides sent guards, with a limit of within thirty people!
"Our Excellency Liang Dong, our principle is to exchange prisoners one-on-one, that is, how many prisoners we capture, how many prisoners you exchange will also be."
"This is impossible. The prisoner exchange was proposed by you. At the beginning, we were not talking about the prisoner exchange, but the prisoner exchanged materials. You disclosed the negotiation secrets and did not have the slightest spirit of contract. We could have refused to continue the negotiations." Liang Dong said.
"Hisser Liang Dong, we deeply apologize for this. Due to our negligence, such incidents have occurred, but we came with sincerity." Chang Yong stood up and bowed slightly.
"If we had no sincerity, we would have refused." Liang Dong snorted coldly. The Japanese thief called to catch the thief, and he was shameless when he got the advantage.
"How should we exchange according to your wishes?"
"The exchange of prisoners is based on the voluntary basis of both parties. It cannot be completely equivalent to a business. Even if it is a business, it is a matter of your love and my wish. What about your situation? Colonel Changyong?"
"Yes, this is something you want to do."
"I think, since you want to change prisoners, you want your pilots, and we also want to change our comrades in the robes. Whoever changes is the final decision?"
"Of course, you and I each submit a list, and we each select the people we need and exchange them with each other." Chang Yong said.
"You provide us with a list. Are this list your captured personnel or our captured personnel?" Liang Dong asked back.
"Of course this is our captured personnel!" Chang Yong smiled slightly. The Japanese pilots and ground crews, as well as the Japanese side, have a roster, at least one copy can be copied.
And China is in trouble. The troops are all disrupted in an organization. Whoever is captured or killed in battle is not accurate at all. It is not easy to get a list.
"It seems that you have no sincerity at all!" Liang Dong snorted angrily, stood up, and acted to leave.
"Hello Liang Dong, slow down." Chang Yong shouted quickly, "If we do not have sincerity, how could we withdraw our troops from Qinglong Mountain?"
"You know that our captured people are numerous and difficult to count, but now you need us to provide an exchange list. Where can we give you this list?" Liang Dong scolded angrily.
"So that's the case, but we misunderstood." Changyong seemed to be prepared and continued, "Since that's the case, it's better for us to provide you with a list of captured personnel, you can select a part of it, and then submit it to us as a list of exchange personnel. How about it?"
Liang Dong's face was slightly slower, and he sat down and said, "This is a solution, we will consider it first."
"Do you have any doubts?" Changyong asked impatiently.
"Why should I go back and report to such a big thing before I can answer it?"
"Can't you make the decision?"
"Of course not. We still hope to exchange prisoners for supplies and food. I hope you can consider it." Liang Dong pretended to be embarrassed.
"Hisser Liang Dong, do you have any difficulties?"
"This, I don't need to tell you, right?" A trace of vigilance flashed in Liang Dong's eyes.
"If Your Excellency Liang Dong has difficulties, we can consider materials and food." With the instruction of Kenji Doihara, Nagayong immediately changed his mouth.
"Can you do this? Half of the prisoners of war are exchanged for food and supplies, and half are directly exchanged for prisoners?" Liang Dong said.
"this……"
"Your Excellency Liang Dong's suggestion is not impossible, but how to calculate the exchange value between food and prisoners of war?" Shibuya Kazuo asked.
"If a person has thirty years of life, how much rice does he have to consume, break his promise, clothes and medicines?" Song Yunfeng took out a small notebook and calculated it one by one.
"Everyone consumes one pound and two taels of rice every day. In a year, it is 438 pounds, and 13,140 pounds in thirty years; each person has about 5 grams of salt per day, and it is about 2 kilograms a year, 30 years is 60 kilograms, and each person has 25 grams of oil per day, which is ten kilograms a year, and 300 kilograms a year..."
Changyong and others all saw their eyes falling out when they heard this. It was obvious that they never expected anyone to calculate like this.
Indeed, if a soldier does not die, he can live at least thirty years. The various materials and food that can be consumed in these thirty years can be calculated.
This is still the most basic consumption.
And "Yasha" actually used this calculated data as the equivalent exchange of materials. Even if it was only half of the Japanese prisoners of war, what they had to pay was a huge amount.
"No, no, Mr. Liang Dong, you can't calculate this way. If we follow this calculation, we will not directly exchange prisoners of war one-on-one." Chang Yong's cold sweat was all over. He was an intelligence official and was very sensitive to numbers. So according to the dozen items listed by Song Yunfeng, the logistics department of the dispatched army would immediately go bankrupt.
Kenji Doihara's expression is very strange, and this calculation method is really incredible.
"We think this is the most reasonable need for a person a day. If this cannot be guaranteed, how can we exchange it?"
"We think it's better to exchange prisoners of war directly. We can exchange three of your prisoners of war for us. How about it?" After the emergency consultation, Changyong put forward a "prison exchange" plan.
Liang Dong shook his head, obviously this ratio did not meet the requirements of Leng Feng.
"Three to one can't do it, then five to one?"
The Japanese army captured many prisoners of war in the national army, and the prisoner-of-war camps could not be locked up, and they also had to provide basic food. This was a huge burden for the Japanese army, which had poor logistics. The massacre of prisoners of war at the time also had some connection with the lack of logistics supply of the Japanese army.
"Hisser Liang Dong, this proportion is already very high, so don't have too much appetite."
"We still hope to exchange prisoners of war for food and supplies..."
"This is absolutely impossible!" Changyong stood up and punched the table in anger.
"Then there is no need to talk!" Liang Dong was also angry, stood up and walked out. This time he would never look back. This was also the strategy explained by Leng Feng. In the first round of negotiations, the Japanese must not understand their bottom line, otherwise the initiative in the next negotiation will not be in his hands.
"Baga!" Changyong looked at Liang Dong's back as he walked away, and cursed with a ferocious face.
The first round of closed-door negotiations ended in a bad mood. (To be continued.)
