Age of Rebirth

From the very beginning of the negotiations, Alexander adopted the face of the British colonial occupiers. He first made strong words, and then made demands. This is also the usual method of the British. That arrogance and arrogance. ^138^Reading Books^

Tang Qiuli suppressed the anger in his heart, just because the British troops in Southeast Asia still have a little value that can be used, otherwise, Tang Qiuli would yell in front of Alexander and Ebson, "It's just a fight, what are you talking about?" Then, throw these British guys out.

However, these aggressive questions are also full of gunpowder, and they are all indisputable facts. Tang Qiuli doesn't want to entangle the British in such inexplicable issues as retreat or aggression during the negotiations. ,aggression?Without a strong backing, I am afraid that the one who demands the withdrawal of troops and accuses the aggression today will be himself. In the face of absolute strength, any rhetoric and sophistry will be useless. Tang Qiuli is not afraid of the breakdown of the negotiations. I took the initiative to come to the door.

Tang Qiuli's words pierced directly into Alexander's heart like a knife. He blushed. He knew the inside story better than that. Not only did it fail to achieve the desired effect, but it left excuses and handles for this aggressive Chinese entry.

Alexander regretted it in his heart. If he had known that the Japanese were not worth it, he would not have formed a temporary alliance with these yellow-skinned monkeys to deal with the Chinese. From the bottom of his heart, Alexander didn’t like the Japanese at all. Of course , do not like Chinese entry. [

In the eyes of this veteran colonist, only the interests of the British Empire can be used. However, if Tang Qiuli does not answer these questions, the negotiation will not proceed, just as Tang Qiuli expected. Well, if the British army has the ability to drive the independent division troops out of the country, there will never be such a thing as today, when the British invaders take the initiative to come to the door and ask for negotiations.

Alexander thought about it and said: "Dear Vice Chairman, I'm afraid you have misunderstood the actions of our British Imperial Army. It is necessary to explain. After receiving a report from the border post, a large number of unidentified armed men sneaked into the country. The British army is going to clear it up, because there is no communication beforehand, so there will be a misunderstanding!"

It was a series of lies, confusing black and white, Alexander's shamelessness and thick skin, he had practiced to the level of perfection, and he did not even blink his eyes when he lied. Tang Qiuli gave him a cold look and felt that talking to this guy was a waste of time. .

He went on to say: "Don't talk to me about misunderstandings and other nonsense. My soldiers fought with the British and Japanese joint forces for more than ten days. The guns that were shot into their bodies were all made in Britain. If you misunderstand, Can you explain it?"

Alexander was in a hurry, and raised his voice: "I protest, you use this polite language to insult a general of the British Empire, I will document the courtesy I received today and lodge a strong protest with your government , and reserves the right to accept an apology."

Tang Qiuli said so-called: "You are welcome, this kind of protest letter will eventually be in my hands. We, Chairman Jiang, don't have time to pay attention to your protest. Let's talk about practical issues. There is only one reason for the border conflict."

Alexander shut up at the time. He admitted that what Tang Qiuli said was true. Before that, he had submitted letters of protest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government, but he did not see any reply from the Nationalist Government. This shows that the Nationalist Government The Generalissimo Chiang who was in charge couldn't control the aggressive young man in front of him at all.

Ebson, who was on the side, saw that things were not going well. If the two were allowed to go on, Tang Qiuli was a man who would not budge, and the negotiation would break down. Can't you go back empty-handed?

Ebson quickly eased the atmosphere and said, "General Tang, what happened has already happened, and whoever is held responsible will affect the resolution of the fundamental problem. After all, we are not here to quarrel, but to reach an agreement that both parties agree with." A satisfactory agreement came, general, which reason did you say?"

Tang Qiuli took a look at Mei Xue who was full of smiles, leaned on the chair easily, and said: "Actually, the problem is very simple. If you enter the UK, you will not allow Japanese soldiers who invaded our country to enter the border, and provide guns, medicine and supplies, there will be no border bloodshed, and we will be able to get along."

Ebsen rolled his blue eyes, and looked at Alexander who was sulking. Ebsen really didn't know the inside story of this matter. The army was under the command of Alexander, and this guy had extremely strict control over military power. Well, Ebson couldn't intervene at all, so he couldn't answer Tang Qiuli's words.

Ebson's meaning is obvious. It's up to you to answer this matter. I don't know what the inside story is. Alexander said: "In fact, we are also victims. Japanese soldiers who entered our British Empire overseas without authorization The behavior of the territory is tantamount to aggression in fact, and I repeat, my troops are absolutely not united with Japanese soldiers."

When Alexander said these words, he secretly prayed in his heart that the Japanese entrant Kobayashi Shuuichi must not be captured alive by Chinese soldiers, otherwise, once the truth is revealed, he will not only bear Tang Qiuli's anger, but also To be investigated and held accountable by the British government.

Tang Qiuli was really impatient. Hearing the nonsense and lies of the British guy, he stood up abruptly and said, "Enough, I just tell you, my principle is that the Japanese invaders are the enemies who invaded our country, no matter where they go Wherever it is, I will order troops to pursue it."

"The so-called border line, in my eyes, is within the range of the enemy. If you help the enemy, I will also attack him as an enemy. No matter which country he is from, we can withdraw our troops if you want. , as long as there is not a single Japanese soldier within the sphere of influence of the British, I will immediately order the troops to withdraw, how about that?"

Tang Qiuli asked a question, this is obviously the army of Alexander, who knows how many of those Japanese soldiers got into the virgin forest of the Indochina Peninsula, and the more than 20 Japanese soldiers who went wild into the mountains were targeting the northern Burma Myitkyina.

The refugee camp that Alexander established in Myitkyina was to accommodate these Japanese immigrants. It was not just his own idea, but an order given to him by the British government. He also knew that the queen's government did so largely because of To please the Japanese, or in other words, to be afraid of the Japanese.

The only purpose of doing this is to exchange for the Japanese army, and not to do anything within the traditional British sphere of influence in Southeast Asia. Alexander is a loyal supporter and executor of this plan. The so-called refugee camps are just a cover-up. Can the Japanese government understand the painstaking efforts of the British.

Alexander and Ebson said in silence that Tang Qiuli's request could not be fulfilled at all. Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "This is my only request. If your ** team can drive those Japanese soldiers back Within the territory of China, I will naturally not send troops abroad to pursue and destroy” [

"In a word, there is a Japanese soldier who exists within the sphere of influence of the British. I will never retreat. However, I can promise you that my troops will stay in the current area and will not go further. The prerequisite is , you British soldiers, be honest!"

"This is the end of the negotiation. I don't want to deal with people who are full of lies. This is another principle of mine," Tang Qiuli said, without even saying hello, holding Mei Xue's soft little hand, Shi Shiran left , leaving Alexander and Ebsen stunned, staring at each other.

After walking a few steps, Tang Qiuli stopped, seemed to remember something, and said casually, "By the way, I forgot to remind you, there are more than 7000 British prisoners of war in my army. Governor Dairu, how do you plan to deal with this matter? Remember that in the documents you submitted, there is a clause for exchanging prisoners of war, well, I will wait."

Hearing this, Alexander straightened his body quickly, and said with a military posture: "There is such a clause, but we counted the troops and found no captured soldiers. As for the captured soldiers of your army, please rest assured, General Tang." , will receive the most enlightened treatment, and I will conditionally release them after I return to Yangon."

Tang Qiuli replied with a half-smile: "That's good, I will trouble General Alexander, take good care of my soldiers, and I will wait for them to return." Seeing Tang Qiuli's expression, Alexander's heart skipped a beat for no reason. , avoiding Tang Qiuli's mocking eyes with a guilty conscience.

The skinny donkey sucks hard shit, Alexander knew better than that in his heart, more than [-] British soldiers were killed in the battle for more than [-] days, and the captured soldiers were the number Tang Qiuli said. But he doesn't even have a single Chinese prisoner of war in his hands, so what's the exchange?This cowardice made him feel like he was in a tizzy, and he almost vomited blood on the spot.

The reason why he said this was the strategy agreed with Ebsen. Tang Qiuli did not dare to take prisoners of war, so he avoided the possibility of being blackmailed. Release was an indirect victory over Tang Qiuli.

Alexander and Ebsen, who were half-escorted and half-escorted, left Tengchong. This time, the two suffered a disastrous defeat. Not only did they fail to reach any agreement, but instead let Tang Qiuli's troops stay where they were, they had an excuse. It became a fact, and the mood of the two of them was extremely depressed.

Compared with Ebsen, Alexander had one more thing on his mind. When Tang Qiuli talked about the British prisoners of war, his expression made him very confused, and he always felt that there was a big conspiracy involved.

This time, Alexander's brains were good enough, and he was unfortunate enough to talk about the issue of British prisoners of war. Later, he and his British Empire were completely humiliated in front of the world.
