Chapter 256: Prisoner Exchange Agreement (2)
"Otherwise, let the 'Yasha' continue to contact the Japanese army, at least not completely block the gate of the prisoner replacement. Don't they want to exchange prisoners for supplies and food? We can support this. As for how to exchange prisoners, I think the Ministry of Military Affairs has to draft a list. ∑.” Zhang Yuejun said.
"Mr. Bu Lei, what do you think?" Jiang did not express his opinion immediately, but asked his confidant, Chen Bu Lei.
Chen Bulei looked puzzled. This was a difficult issue. He understood Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts, although this "capital replacement" negotiation was discussed by the 'Yasha'.
But Chiang Kai-shek really wanted to seize the dominance of negotiations in his heart, although on the surface he rejected the Shanghai Expeditionary Force's request to negotiate directly with the government with the reason of "negotiation is arbitrary".
If the "capital exchange" can be fulfilled, it will be of great help to improve personal prestige.
Also, the list of "replacement prisoners" seems to be calm on the surface, because there are no generals of the National Army who have been captured at present, but there are still many talents, especially many of them are "sons of the emperor".
Although these people are not generals with heavy troops, a few years later, or even ten years later, do you dare to say that there cannot be a few generals here?
Being a prisoner is not necessarily an incompetent person. No one wants to be a prisoner. How many people can kill themselves?
"Sir, the list of prisoners should be cautious." Chen Bulei thought about it for a moment and said slowly.
"Does Mr. Bu Lei disagree with the drafting of the list by the Ministry of Military Affairs?"
"No, Brother Yue Jun misunderstood. It's not that I don't agree with it. But if we draw up a list, there must be people we need to exchange for. These people must be valuable, right?"
"This is natural. If we are so cautious in replacing prisoners, we will naturally be valuable people." Zhang Yuejun said.
"But this also tells the Japanese that these people are valuable. You said, what should we do if we were Japanese?" Chen Bulei asked back.
"This..." Zhang Yuejun was stunned, and even a trace of unknown cold star flashed in Old Jiang's eyes.
This time, the "capital replacement" negotiation was full of traps everywhere. If you were not careful, you jumped into the pit dug by the Japanese. The Japanese were really too sinister and cunning.
"Sir, my suggestion is to let 'Yasha' handle this matter by himself." Chen Bulei's next words made Jiang Jiang unable to help but show a hint of surprise.
When he arrived at his position, he rarely saw the expression of his inner emotions on his face, but Chen Bulei's suggestion did surprise him a little.
Doesn't he understand his thoughts?
No, unlikely, he is his own ruler. He can guess what he thinks in his heart. He trusts Chen Bule, mainly because of Chen Bule's enthusiasm for scholars. He is arrogant, not greedy for power, does not make money, and does not have that kind of unrealistic ambition. Therefore, he trusts and reassures him so much.
"Chairman, I have no prejudice against 'Yasha', but they are just soldiers after all, without any negotiation experience. Such important negotiations. They are so playful. This also lists a calculation option for prisoners to exchange for materials. Even if the Japanese refuse, they will not be so unhappy, right?" Zhang Yuejun ruthlessly criticized the first round of negotiations of 'Yasha'.
"What Brother Yue Jun said is not without reason, but the ones who negotiated with 'Yasha' are also soldiers. Only soldiers know better. And even if you and I go over, will they know their opponents better than 'Yasha'?" Chen Bulei retorted.
Zhang Yuejun's face froze a little. He didn't agree with Chen Bulei's replies. He had studied in Japan and was a famous Japanese genius in the government. He believed that he knew more about what the Japanese thought than anyone else.
However, such negotiations do not require a person of his level to come forward. As for the people below, who can take on this important task, he had not yet thought of a suitable candidate for a while.
"Okay, the two of you are not arguing. It's just the first round of negotiations. Even if it breaks down, it's nothing..."
"Chairman, what I am worried about is that the Japanese will put the blame for the breakdown of the negotiations on us. Think about it, weren't they all taken up that dispute?" Chen Bulei said anxiously.
"This has to be taken into consideration. The Japanese are now slandering and destroying our image internationally, with only one purpose, to make excuses for the aggressive war they launched so that the great powers can stand by and watch!" Chiang Kai-shek said solemnly.
"Dongdong..."
Confidential secretary Mao Qingxiang stood at the door with an anxious look on his face, but he did not go in, but knocked on the door first. Even if the door was open and without permission, he could not go in without permission.
"What's the matter?" Old Jiang looked unhappy. He talked to Chen and Zhang, but he didn't like to be disturbed. What's wrong with Mao Qingxiang?
"Sir, news comes from Shanghai, it's very urgent!" Mao Qingxiang said anxiously.
"Pick it in!" Old Jiang ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Mao Qingxiang walked in quickly with the documents.
After reading the documents sent by Mao Qingxiang, Lao Jiang slapped the table in anger: "The little Japanese bullies too much!"
"Sir, what happened?"
"Look!" Old Jiang angrily pushed the document forward.
"'Yasha' brutally abused the prisoners of the imperial army and seriously violated the international warfare regulations..."
There are also photos to prove that a Japanese soldier wearing Japanese uniforms was covered in scars on his chest and back, which was really miserable.
"'Yasha' is too much. Even if they hate the Japanese, they should not abuse the prisoners?" Zhang Yuejun looked at it and blushed with anger.
"Dingling..."
The phone on Lao Jiang’s desk rang. Only a few people are qualified to call in directly. Needless to say, the person who called in must have an extraordinary identity.
"Hey, it's Brother Zhaoming, why did you call me?"
"Well, I just knew it,...well, the impact is very bad...I understand,...I will deal with it, goodbye!" Lao Jiang hung up the phone with a gloomy face.
"Sir, Mr. Wen Bai is here!"
"Please come in!"
"yes!"
Zhang Wenbai stepped into the office with one foot and saw that Chen Bulei and Zhang Yuejun were both there, and was slightly surprised: "Mr. Bulei, Brother Yuejun, you are all here."
The two nodded slightly.
"Chairman!"
"Did you also come to abuse Japanese prisoners for the sake of 'Yasha'?" asked Lao Jiang. What a mess of abuse of prisoners. Who hasn't he done the whole world's army?
But the Japanese made a big fuss, which clearly meant that they wanted to ruin Washington's reputation internationally.
"Yes, Chairman." Zhang Wen rolled his eyes and saw the report that Mao Qingxiang had just sent over on the table.
"How did you know?"
"I heard from Mr. Zhou of the Eighth Office." Zhang Wenbai said honestly.
"The news about gcd is really well-versed. I just found out here, so they knew it first." Old Jiang snorted coldly. Zhang Wenbai was no wonder about this, let alone that he told the truth and didn't find an excuse to deceive himself.
"Then what are you doing?"
"Chairman, I think this matter is a bit strange." Zhang Wenbai said.
"Why is it strange?"
"Chairman, Brother Yue Jun, Mr. Bu Lei, look, if the 'Yasha' is a prisoner abuse, how could the Japanese find evidence? They don't look like fools, are they?"
"It's because they didn't take it seriously?" Zhang Yuejun said.
"Leng Feng, the leader of 'Yasha', is not a brainless person. So far, there are more than three Japanese generals who died at Yasha's hands. There is no need for him to use this method to anger the Japanese, right?"
"Maybe he wanted to use this condition that threatened the Japanese to agree to him for supplies?" Zhang Yuejun said again.
"If it were you, Brother Yue Jun, would you stop the Japanese when you saw the Japanese take pictures?"
"Of course?" Zhang Yuejun said, "but the angle of these photos seems to be not normal."
Candid shots!
"It's really like a sneak shot!"
"The Japanese have always been cunning, how could they give us such obvious flaws?" Zhang Wenbai smiled bitterly, "Chairman, even if these photos are real, we can deny them."
"Brother Wenbai means, I will definitely not admit it?" Zhang Yuejun said in surprise.
"That's right!"
"That's not a rogue. There is all this evidence. I don't admit it. What's the use?"
"Brother Yue Jun is a gentleman. He is open and honest and can deal with the Japanese. If we always use gentlemen's methods, we will suffer losses. When necessary, we can use some villain's methods." Zhang Wenbai said.
"I am a hero who is a hero who is a hero who has a similar view on this." Chen Bulei said. Although he insisted on the ethics of literati, he was not a person who knew how to be an adaptable person. Otherwise, how could he be a staff member of Chiang Kai-shek? There were too many dirty things in the government.
"What do you think sir?"
Old Jiang pondered slightly, of course he chose not to admit it. If he admits this matter, it would be embarrassing internationally.
"We just insisted that this was a slander by the Japanese. All the photos were forged by themselves." Zhang Wenbai said loudly.
"Just as Wenbai's meaning, the whole country's government will be unified!" Lao Jiang decided.
"yes!"
"We have to call Yasha to ask about this matter and see how they explain it. If not, then we will be more confident." Lao Jiang ordered.
"I'll draft a telegram now." Mao Qingxiang said.
"Well, if Yasha calls back, report it immediately." Old Jiang nodded.
"yes!"
Leng Feng was not in the Eagle's Nest. After the military meeting, he decided to stay in the safe area to learn more about the preparations for the national rescue troops in the capital's War of Resistance and War. What he saw with his own eyes was always more intuitive than what Shen Zhiming reported.
Moreover, Leng Feng also needs to formulate relevant plans based on his own understanding, and this also requires someone to help advise. His wisdom alone is also limited.
One hero can help three people!
After an afternoon of understanding, Leng Feng roughly understood the situation, personnel, morale, mental state, etc. of the national rescue master, and had a general judgment in his mind. (To be continued.)
