Sure enough, after Okabe Saburo took the lead in opening his trump card, he no longer had much power to resist.

Because this is the bottom line he must keep in mind in the end.

The worst thing is that this is the exchange that the North China Front Army cannot take on the table.

If someone is exposed, let the Japanese people know that the North China Front Army is willing to exchange tens of thousands of prisoners of war plus a large number of weapons and equipment for the sake of the Fujiwara family, thus strengthening the Chinese army, resulting in their son and husband's death on the battlefield in the future. Not to mention that the direct negotiator Okabe Saburo would be scolded to be autistic, even Shin-Shan Yuan, a figure who is a big boss in the Japanese military, will be implicated. It would be a good end to end his term in advance and return to China in shame.

The Fujiwara family will never admit that they have put any pressure on the North China Front Army. After all, they just sent a pre-congratulation message to Shanshanyuan by the family.

Why, you are not allowed to tell your superiors something nice to you?

Therefore, facing the trump card that Okabe Saburo had already opened, Tang Dao's hippo mouth was completely opened to the maximum.

But Tang Dao still underestimated the North China Front Army's determination to return to Fujiwara Jaetsu.

As long as China allows a Japanese baggage corps to enter the Changle Village area to restrain the remains of the officers and soldiers in the Second Mixed Brigade, the Japanese side will return up to 35,000 prisoners of war in Pingjin, Shimen, Yuancheng and other places, and also provide Chinese equipment from an infantry brigade and an infantry regiment.

Among them, in order to avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings, Fujiwara Bayashi Okunata Kazusa was captured by China on the previous battlefields, and the list of imperial officers and soldiers with a number of up to 100 people will not be written in the agreement.

These personnel can even be delivered as the last batch of personnel and will be brought back by Brigadier General Tianan and Rostav, two guarantors recognized by both parties.

Of course, before this, the Japanese side had completed the delivery of personnel and equipment and the convergence of the remains of the dead officers and soldiers in battle.

This is also the main reason why Tang Dao finally lowered the equipment of a whole dresser to one brigade and another.

What China wants is prisoners of war and equipment. These hundred Japanese prisoners are going to waste food and have a ball for them? But if you want to rely on the Japanese people to keep their promises, it is better to believe that the sows will be on the tree.

Therefore, with Tang Dao's persistence and a certain degree of concession, Fujiwara Zhanyu and 100 Japanese prisoners of war would stay in the end and return it. The nearly 10,000 Japanese wreckage buried in Changle Village could be converged at the same time.

The Japanese really invested a lot in order to get back to Fujiwara Jao.

To the equipment of an infantry regiment that had been killed for five or six hours, a complete infantry brigade was added.

Just like at an auction, the original bid was only 1 million, but the competitor immediately raised the bid to 5 million. This psychological impact is definitely huge for the opponent.

Even Rostaff, who was calm and calm after eating the big cake, was startled by Okabe Saburo who was determined to give in.

A reorganized infantry brigade is given to the opponent's weapons and equipment. According to the 1-6 battle loss ratio between Japan and China on the battlefield, it also means that more than 1,000 people will be killed in battle before the Japanese side can fill out the big hole dug by themselves!

Moreover, the equipment of this complete infantry brigade has a number record. Looking at the list taken out of the briefcase by Saburo Okabe, Tang Dao knew that this was the final bottom line prepared by Japan and the most sharp weapon they could impress China.

Tang Dao is no exception.

That was a weapon seized by the Japanese army from the 39th Independent Brigade of the 29th Army.

It’s not that Tang Dao has never seen the world, but this batch of equipment is really too generous.

There are 36 heavy machine guns in Maxim, 432 50mm grenade cans, 234 Czech light machine guns, 135 Germanic Bergman submachine guns, 250 Germanic twenty-shot shell guns, 5,000 Czech rifles, 50 pistols, 10,000 long-handled grenades, and 18 82-caliber mortars.

Just such weapons and equipment, not to mention a brigade, or even a miscellaneous division, are more than enough. The configuration of light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers is even better than the Jinsui Army, which was well-equipped before the war, could not catch up.

Because, after the Lugou Bridge Incident, more than 6,000 people in the brigade collectively laid down the most complete weapon system under the Japanese encirclement, and it was also the most important armed force under General Zhang who was responsible for staying in Pingbei City to deal with matters in Peking.

At that time, the main force of the 29th Army had been forced to leave Pingbei City and rush to Baoding. The appointed General Zhang had only two independent brigades and an infantry regiment with only five corpses in total, but he had to defend a huge Pingbei City and a military front facing nearly 200,000 Japanese invaders. That was an impossible task.

Eight days later, Pingbei City fell, and except for the 27th Independent Brigade who broke through and left, the other surrounded troops were forced to surrender.

The main members of the prisoner-of-war camp established by the Japanese army in Pingjin were mainly the Independent 39th Brigade, which was forced to lay down its weapons and the two security brigades in Tianjin.

The 39th Independent Brigade of the 29th Army was the main force of the 29th Army. The weapons were equipped with General Song based on the standard equipment of the Central Army's German Armored Division. Not only can light machine guns basically reach the level of one infantry squad, but even Japanese grenade launchers and 8 infantry companies, which exceeded the standard of 6 infantry squadrons of the Japanese army, and the mortars reached the standard of 9 gates of a regiment and 3 gates of an infantry battalion.

If all the prisoners of the Independent 39th Brigade could be exchanged for, plus these weapons, it would be a strong army.

Of course, it depends on how many people the Japanese army has transported to work as miners in the three northeastern provinces. The battlefield in North China has been fiercely fighting for nearly a year, and the organization of many regular troops has become chaotic, let alone those prisoners of war. Tang Dao did not have much imagination about this.

Moreover, after the personnel and equipment were exchanged, Datou had to be in the war zone after all. This time, all the troops knew about the negotiations with the Japanese and were eagerly waiting to share the soup.

According to the private exchanges between Major General Geng and Tang Dao, most of the prisoners of war replaced will be left to the war zone. After screening, it will be supplemented to the frontline units. The 17th Division will leave no less than 2,000 prisoners of war for vacancies. If some equipment can be snatched from the Japanese, the war zone will not be left, and all belong to the troops participating in the southeast of Shanxi this time, and will be assigned by the 17th Division.

The stingy old man had a good idea. He knew that this negotiation would be mainly about substitutions. As long as the Japanese did not completely break down, they would not have to use equipment if they returned them. Even if they had one, they would definitely be a minority. It would be better to be a favor. In name, it would be a reward for the various troops in the southeast of Shanxi that participated in the war.

If the stingy old man knew that the Japanese were not only broken, but also had nothing to do with the equipment of Tang Tuanzhao, the cliff would spurt out an old blood eight feet away.

Not only did he lack the degree of silly criticism from the Japanese, but his understanding of Tang Tuanzou was only on the surface.

Perhaps no one expected that a difficult negotiation would make Saburo Okabe's face stiff for a day and a night, and also made the highest commander of the Second War Zone of China, who had obtained the negotiation results, sleepless all night, and talk to the five girls who were with him all night: "The Japanese are crazy! This is crazy!"

Little do they know that the Japanese even more unexpected operations are still behind.

Since the two sides drafted an agreement in the middle of the night that day, Major General Geng, who was cured in an instant in the morning of the next day, was proud to attend the formal signing of the agreement. The two sides agreed that from now on, the Japanese side would begin to gradually transfer prisoners of war and equipment to China, and the Japanese side would also send a logistics corps of about 2,000 trucks and more than 300 large trucks from Lucheng.

On the Chinese side, the prisoners of war in the Taihang Mountains were concentrated in Linfen according to the list of prisoners of war and ensured their health. After all prisoners of war and weapons and equipment were handed over to China, the two guarantors would be brought back to the Japanese defense zone. At that time, a Japanese infantry squadron would come to help escort it.

This also means that Brigadier General Tian and Rostav will stay in Linfen for about half a month. Even though Okabe Saburo didn't want the two Western world leaders to have such close contact with the Chinese for so long, there was no way. For him and the front army, the life of Fujiwara Batsuo was the most important.

However, Saburo Okabe never expected that the biggest loss in this negotiation was not that they delivered more than 30,000 prisoners of war and equipment that could be equipped with four infantry regiments to China.

Because these losses are within the scope that the Japanese North China Front Army can bear, and even the General Staff has made the idea of ​​blackmailing an infantry division equipment from them, which is the worst plan. Fortunately, Tang Dao finally made concessions, but he only asked Fujiwara Jaetsu and 100 prisoners of war to be the final return personnel.

As long as China does not want to completely push the Germanic Empire to Japan, it will definitely not break its promise. You should know that Rostav is not only one of the core personnel of Krupp Company, but also reported to the Germanic Embassy. It was officially authorized and basically represents the Germanic Empire.

If the Chinese people are planning to tear each other apart, then even if Fujiwara Jaoshi dies, he will not lose. He will gain a military power that is completely turning to Japan, which will have a great effect on Japan's war in China.

Comparable to the combat power of ten divisions.

But Saburo Okabe never dreamed that Tang Dao left Fujiwara Jao as the real purpose of the final return was for the Germanic man with blue eyes.

The value of that man is much higher than that of the Chinese equipment of the four infantry regiments for Tang Dao.

Let’s talk about it first. Tang Dao is holding an order note that can extract a German-Equipped Infantry Division. The weapons and equipment are all in the warehouse of the company behind this man in the Tianjin Concession.

With the support of this man, a German-Armed Infantry Division was half successful after getting the equipment.

As for the long term, Krupp has extremely excellent design and manufacturing capabilities. If they obtain their support, the Sihang Group Factory located in Dakouzi Cave will usher in a qualitative improvement.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Tang Dao can fool this man.

In fact, from the moment Tang Dao heard the man's name, his performance had already begun.

Yes, being strong against the Japanese, crushing and banging Qingshui Xiucheng not only suppressed the Japanese and maximized the chips in their hands during the negotiations, but also left Rostaff a preliminary impression of a tough Chinese soldier.

Regardless of men and women, they have a mentality of admiring strength.

There is a saying in the future: licking dogs and having nothing! It is about a phenomenon, but in the end, it is still the existence of this psychology.

What humans like most is struggle. When they are still on trees, they are fighting against nature to ensure survival. When they become the spirits of all things gradually begin to rule the world, they will fight with the same kind of people walking upright.

If you always have the advantage, whether it is family life or social activities, crushing all your opponents, it will quickly make people feel bored.

The greatest need of human psychology is to meet opponents, with both back and forth.

The first thing Tang Dao established for this person was that he was strong enough, even if he asked for help, he would be among the same human beings. What's more, with Tang Dao's understanding of the future of the German Empire and the future of the Krupp Company, he believed that this man with the Krupp surname was also needed.

Because, with the current Krupp Company in the Germanic Empire at its peak, a core layer has come to the Far East where wars are raging but cannot sell a large amount of arms, which is obviously illogical.

Tang Dao succeeded.

When Saburo Okabe and his party left, the two Westerners who were left in Linfen were treated with extremely high standards. The stingy old man personally came to entertain the two of them and took them to travel around the suburbs of Linfen until they waited for the 17th Division to escort Fujiwara Jao and the Japanese prisoners of war escort from the 921st Division and other units.

Of course, these prisoners of war will not be given in vain. Anyone who provides prisoners of war will basically get a share of the weapons and equipment of the four regiments handed over, which can be regarded as some small benefits that Tang Dao won for the Eighty Army.

Based on Tang Dao's understanding of the Commander Zhao of the 17th Division, maybe the equipment of an infantry regiment must be given. In Shaanxi Province, this lieutenant general of the army is already very close to the top leaders of the 80th Army. Now he is fighting in the same war zone, so he will naturally not be stingy.

The rest, such as the Sichuan Army, only sent a few prisoners, and each unit gave an infantry battalion equipment, probably enough for the commanders of each army to enjoy for several days.

Leaving two reorganized infantry regiments equipment, plus two or three thousand prisoners of war and recruited recruits, the 17th Division will once again have 5 infantry regiments or even 6 infantry regiments. After only half a year of digestion, its strength will only be stronger than before.

Brigadier General Tian and Rostav were relieved when they saw Fujiwara Jaeo himself and were confirmed.

They made a lot of money this time, but the premise was that they had to do what the Japanese delivered.

Otherwise, I would have been flirting with the mutton even though I didn’t eat it.

The virtue of China's honesty and trustworthiness is indeed trustworthy, and the two's good impression of the Chinese have been strengthened again.

This also laid the foundation for the harmonious, free, equal and friendly exchanges between Tang Dao and Rostaff, a blue-eyed man.

In order to allow them to stay here for half a month to ensure that they will bring back Fujiwara Jao himself, the Japanese have spent a lot of money. Not only did their previous promises still work, but they also promised that the Roman Empire Concession in Tianjin was sacred and inviolable. Even if Chinese intelligence personnel hid in it, they would never send a soldier or a soldier to search, but would send a note to ask the concession to search and ensure that the expatriates from Rome and Germanic countries walked freely in Ping and Tianjin.

This is very different from before. When I first occupied Tianjin City, a small military police officer could swagger into the concession and demand that the concession police and military cooperate with an extremely tough attitude. Even if I don’t bring a gun, I almost looked like I was the boss of the Heavenly King.

Although the senior leaders of the Western Concession jointly put pressure on the North China Front Command and the Japanese military police also restrained a little, the expatriates would still be searched by the Japanese army when they left the concession, and even some officials and wives were no exception. As long as it was not too much, the countries could only temporarily endure this tone.

Now, the Japanese North China Front Command issued this note, but made great concessions.

Rostav, Krupp's trucks and coal truck trains are allowed to enter and exit North China freely and enjoy the concession of exemption from inspection.

Krupp has two large coal mines in North China, the mining rights of iron ore, which the Chinese government bought weapons and equipment without paying for debts.

Even after the war between China and Japan began, in order to make the German Empire give up its support for China and instead support its own side, the Japanese military could only watch the Germans occupy the two largest mineral resources in North China, mine them day and night, and then transport them to the port of Tianjin and freighters to the west.

The land occupied by huge financial and material resources has not yet been reaped much! A commercial company that relies on selling guns and cannons has made a lot of money. How could the Japanese Army bear this tone?

You can't rob it openly, you can only use small actions to disgust you. The Japanese have been inspecting various transport vehicles of Krupp Company in the past six months. After several days of inspection, the managers of Krupp Company's concession business had to go back and forth to coordinate, which was both cost money and energy, and was inefficient.

Rostaff, who was excluded by his eldest nephew, was already upset in the country and happened to take advantage of this reason to come to the ancient Eastern country that he had always longed for. His eldest nephew, who had a hot fight with the bearded head of state, wanted his uncle to be as far away as possible, and even generously gave him the title of general manager of the Far East Branch of Krupp Company.

After all, Far East's business accounts for only a pitiful 10% share compared to the booming Germanic domestic business.

Rostav, the general manager of the Far East, is equivalent to the authority of a middle-level manager in Germany. That is to say, it sounds nice, at least it is a member of the board of directors and is exiled to the frontier.

Rostav, who came to China, relied on his connections to the North China Front Command of Japan. He also gave him some convenience when he visited the German Empire. After two days of good days, the indoor mourning clothes were over, and a shirt that was obviously much stronger came.

Rostaff was still having a headache and how to reconnect with him! Unexpectedly, the Chinese gave him a big surprise and directly asked the Japanese to come to him. Before he could even think of how to control it, the Japanese directly offered what he wanted.

He brought a few Japanese prisoners of war back, and from then on, the vehicles belonging to the Krupp Company were free to walk through the entire Japanese-controlled area. In order to reassure Rostav, Saburo Okabe had not returned to Tianjin City, but the Krupp foreign company located in the concession received more than a dozen passes written by Commander General Shanshanyuan with the "exemption" written by the commander of General Shanshanyuan.

Rostaff was in a good mood and thought of Tang Dao again, especially the meaningful smile when Tang Dao bid farewell to him.

"Mr. Lou Dehua, I believe we will see each other sooner or later, and we will not be on the battlefield!" Tang Dao's farewell words were nothing at first, but when I think about it carefully, I always feel that something is there.

How could the Germanic army appear outside this ocean? The possibility of two people meeting on the battlefield is simply zero.

But Tang Dao’s impression of this person was definitely not such a wise person.
