The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 658 I'm an Expert in Acting
Gao Jiu said to the British Governor in Burma: "Mr. Governor, we are comrades-in-arms and good friends. This time you won the victory in Yangon and captured so many Japanese prisoners of war. You, the British, have made great efforts. Therefore, your I will definitely respect opinions.

You were entrusted by the British side to request the detainment of these Japanese prisoners of war. I think it is very reasonable, and I accept your suggestion. "

The British Governor in Burma also knows Gao Jiu very well. After he accepted the British order this time, he was very worried that Gao Jiu would not agree to the British request, because every time the Japanese prisoners of war were captured before, they were released back. .

He was very worried that Gao Jiu would still do this this time, which would make him lose face in the UK.Hearing what Gao Jiu said, he said happily: "Mr. Gao, thank you very much for accepting our request. I will report this matter to our country and strive for certain benefits for your Taohuashan guerrillas."

Gao Jiu also acted very happy and said, "Then thank you for your kindness."

The British Governor in Myanmar said: "In this case, I will report to our country."

Gao Jiu said: "Mr. Governor, please wait a moment. These Japanese prisoners of war must be detained. However, I cannot hand them over to the US military."

The British Governor in Burma heard this and asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

Gao Jiu said: "Mr. Governor, we are good friends. I think that when considering issues, we must first consider our common interests.

I ask you a question now, please tell the truth.You led the British army to fight alone in Myanmar. How much support has your country given you? "

The British Governor in Burma heard this, his face darkened, he shook his head and said: "Since the start of the war, we have not received assistance from the British side, but it is mainly because of the Japanese army's blockade at sea. It’s also very difficult to get aid.”

Gao Jiu smiled and said: "Mr. Governor, we are old friends, do we still need to beat around the bush? I can understand that you want to protect the dignity of your country. But to be honest, the UK is too busy to take care of itself now, they just want to support you , and there is nothing we can do. Isn’t it our mutual cooperation that supports the situation in Myanmar now?”

The British Governor-General in Burma nodded silently.Although he is very arrogant in his bones, he has to admit that the British army can survive in Myanmar and still control most of Myanmar, not because of the support of the British side, but because of Gao Jiu and the Golden Triangle North that he controls. Area.

Gao Jiu went on to say: "Mr. Governor, we are fighting side by side and rely on each other. Therefore, when we consider issues, we must consider our actual interests.

Regarding the matter of these Japanese prisoners of war, why I insisted on returning them to the Japanese, you must understand the reason for this, right?The fighting power of the Japanese army is so strong, why they are willing to surrender is because we have always been trustworthy.After the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army were surrounded, they ran out of ammunition and food. Only by surrendering can we give them a way out.Therefore, they are willing to surrender to us.

If we destroy our credibility, the Japanese will never surrender to us again, they will fight to the death, and how much it will hurt us, I don't need to say anymore? "

The British Governor in Burma nodded and said, "Mr. Gao, why did you agree to detain these Japanese prisoners of war?"

Gao Jiu said: "Didn't I tell you just now? Your country is putting pressure on you. If you make such a request to me, I will naturally not make it difficult for you. Therefore, we must withhold this A batch of Japanese prisoners of war, but I don't intend to hand them over to the Americans.

You also know that since the start of the war, the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor and captured the American colonies, causing great harm to the Americans, and even created the heinous Bataan Death March.It is conceivable how deep the American people's hatred for Japan is. If these Japanese prisoners of war are handed over to the American people, they will definitely suffer cruel revenge.

If the Japanese are abused because of this, the Japanese will not only hate the Americans, but I am afraid they will hate us who handed over the prisoners of war to the Americans even more. I don’t need to say how serious the revenge against us will be in the future.

If Gao Jiu didn't keep his promise, the consequences would be far from Japanese revenge.The tacit understanding he had established with the Japanese, such as President Fujiwara, the Japanese army in Shandong, and the Japanese air force, will also be lost, and the consequences will be extremely serious.Of course, for the reason, Gao Jiu could not tell the British Governor in Burma.

The British Governor in Myanmar said: "Mr. Gao, as you said, we are old friends and close comrades-in-arms. Just tell me what you plan to do."

Gao Jiu said, "Do you know what the American people offered us?"

The governor shook his head and said, "I really don't know, how did they talk to you?"

Gao Jiu told the British Governor in Burma the conditions offered by the American military provided by Wedman, and said: "I intend to accept the conditions of the Americans. I will not take these things from the Americans alone, I will definitely Part of you British."

Hearing this, the governor smiled and said: "Mr. Gao, you have always been friends in doing things. According to your Chinese words, it is called being righteous.

I am at ease in what you do, but you agreed to the conditions of the Americans and got these benefits from them, but you did not hand over those Japanese prisoners of war to the Americans. Can they agree? "

Gao Jiu said: "I'm going to discuss this matter with you. It requires you to cooperate with me and put on a play for the Americans and Japanese."

The British Governor in Burma laughed when he heard this, and he said, "Mr. Gao, to tell you the truth, I am an expert in acting. When I was in high school, I was in the school drama troupe."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "That's great, let's have a good discussion and see how to deal with the Americans and those Japanese devils?"

After Gao Jiu discussed with the British Governor in Burma, Gao Jiu came to Weideman.

After he walked into Weidman's room, he saw Mary was here too.

Gao Jiu really didn't want Mary to get involved in this matter, so he laughed and said, "Mr. Weidman, Miss Mary, it seems that I came here by accident. You have something to talk about, so I'll turn around." Come again." After finishing speaking, he winked at Weidman, meaning that I have something to discuss with you, and we want to talk alone.After finishing speaking, Gao Jiu was about to close the door and leave.

"Wait a minute." Mary called Gao Jiu to stop.

Gao Jiu looked at her, waiting for her to continue.Mary asked directly: "Mr. Gao Jiu, how do you think about the request of the US military? I heard that representatives of the Japanese came here, and you even invited them. What exactly do you want? The US military You have provided a lot of assistance to your country's war of resistance, so don't do things that break your promise and disregard the feelings of the American people."

Gao Jiu smiled and said: "Miss Mary, I have my own principles in life, and I also have a sense of propriety in doing things. I will keep in mind the American people's assistance to our country, including Gao Jiu's help. The Japanese are our enemies. I will not betray the Allies for the sake of the Japanese, you can rest assured of that."

Mary has been full of anger these days, and she has long wanted to vent to Gao Jiu, so when talking to Gao Jiu, she was very rude to him.She very much hoped that Gao Jiu would confront her, and then quarrel with him, so as to vent the nameless anger in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Gao Jiu followed her words and said, this time, she felt as if she had punched the cotton with her fist, and she couldn't exert any strength.Although Gao Jiu's words revealed that he agreed with him, the anger in Mary's heart still could not be alleviated.

She continued to question: "If you have anything to say, just say it, what are you going to do with these Japanese prisoners of war?"

Gao Jiu said patiently: "Mr. Weidman, Miss Mary, I have received information that if these Japanese prisoners of war are released, they will not be transferred back to the country, but will be reorganized into the Japanese army and sent to Go to other battlefields in Southeast Asia. From now on, we will directly fight you Americans."

Hearing Gao Jiu's words, Weidman and Mary immediately became nervous.

"Mr. Gao, if that's the case, then we can't let these Japanese go back." Weidman said eagerly.

Mary's eyes were wide open, and she said angrily: "Gao Jiu, if you dare to do this, we Americans will never agree."

Gao Jiu said firmly: "You can rest assured on this point, I will never let these Japanese prisoners of war take up arms again to harm the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, including you Americans of course. Therefore, I am determined to resolutely kill these Japanese prisoners. Buckle it down."

Hearing this, Weidman and Mary breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Deman showed a relaxed expression on his face, he smiled and said: "I have known for a long time that Mr. Gao understands righteousness and will not do things that hurt the feelings of our American people."

Hearing this, Mary's temper also eased a little.She then asked: "When do you plan to hand them over to us in the United States?"

Gao Jiu said: "I'm afraid this matter has to be discussed in the long run."

Hearing this, Mary was upset again. She said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Gao Jiu, what do you mean? What is there to discuss? You just hand over these Japanese to our US military?"

Gao Jiu said: "Mr. Weidman, Miss Mary, don't worry, there are still a lot of things to deal with, let's discuss slowly, and we will definitely come up with a perfect method to achieve satisfaction in all aspects."

Mary is still not satisfied with Gao Jiu's answer.She thought that Gao Jiu was procrastinating, and he was not sure what tricks he was going to play in the middle?She said: "What else is there to discuss? Hasn't our US military already promised you a large amount of aid? You take the aid and hand over the people to us. It's as simple as that. There is no hesitation." ?”

At this time, Mary felt angry no matter how she looked at Gao Jiu, so she always wanted to say something against Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu didn't want to quarrel with this young lady. Gao Jiu knew why this American girl became like this.Gao Jiu couldn't hurt her because of her affection for her.

Another reason is that Mary's father is a U.S. senator and has considerable influence in the U.S. political arena.Many of Gao Jiu's industries are in the United States, and the development and construction of the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle cannot be separated from the support of the United States. He is not willing to completely offend this young lady because of a verbal dispute, and cause unnecessary trouble for himself.

Gao Jiu said sincerely: "Mr. Weidman, Miss Mary, this matter is not that simple, it involves all aspects. Well, let's come here today first, and then I will tell you the details. Please rest assured! This matter will definitely be negotiated to a satisfactory result for everyone.”

Gao Jiu's attitude was sincere, even though Mary was still dissatisfied, it was hard to say anything else.

Weidman said: "Okay, Mr. Gao, if you have something to do, go and do it first, and we will wait for your good news!"

Gao Jiu returned to his residence and asked someone to make tea and coffee for himself. This coffee was prepared for Weidman.He believed that Weidman would come to him soon.

Sure enough, after Wei Deman comforted Mary, he returned to his room.After a few minutes, seeing that Mary wasn't paying attention, she left her room to look for Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu had a discussion with Weidman, and he told Weidman all his thoughts to win Weidman's support.

Weidman trusts Gao Jiu, but he thinks that Gao Jiu's solution to the problem may be difficult for the American side to accept.But he can also understand Gao Jiu's difficulties.

He thought that Gao Jiu's consideration had his own reasons, and he said that he would try his best to explain it to the US military.

Weidman was ready to say goodbye and leave.Before leaving, he said to Gao Jiu: "Mr. Gao, to tell you the truth, although I am the head of the temporary delegation appointed by the US military, my words are far less important than Miss Mary. I suggest you try your best to Doing the work of Miss Mary, with her support, this matter will be much easier."

Just as Gao Jiu was about to say something, Weidman continued: "Mr. Gao, you are a smart person. You know why Miss Mary targeted you. I believe that you have a charm beyond ordinary people, and you will definitely be able to convince Mary Miss. Heh, heh!"

He stood up with a smile, opened the door and left.

Gao Jiu was very helpless.After getting to know her for a period of time, does he know that Mary dares to love and hate, and has the straightforward character of a young American woman.

If the relationship between him and Mary is not handled properly, this American girl will definitely go against her everywhere and cause herself a lot of trouble.

So, he decided that he still had to do the work of communicating with Mary.
