Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli's voice was not high, but to the ears of a few British people, it was a different feeling, especially Charlie Brown, the foreign minister, who always felt that there seemed to be some conspiracy in this slow movement.

But on my own side, there is no Chinese prisoner of war, and I can't come up with any good suggestions. With 10,000+ British and Indian soldiers, in the hands of Tang Qiuli, this is an unavoidable problem.

Unable to figure out Tang Qiuli's intentions, Charlie Brown can only plan to use soldiers to block him, and to see what he does. Let's hear what he says?

Tang Qiuli said: "Since you don't have our prisoners of war, the only way to solve the issue of exchanging prisoners of war is that your British government has adopted the method of redemption to buy back your prisoners of war, which also reflects the principle of fairness and reasonableness. "

"As for the redemption price, it's calculated on the basis of the head. Each prisoner of war is equivalent to ten taels of gold. Of course, there will be differences depending on the rank of the military. Officers at the general level are 3000 taels of gold per person, and officers at the officer level are 600 taels of gold per person. , 300 taels per person, and [-] taels per person for lieutenant-level officers, I also hope that the prisoners of war can return to their own country as soon as possible, after all, this is not a place to stay for long!" [

"In my personal opinion, there is no more suitable method than this. Pay the money with one hand and pay the other person with the other, so as to ensure that the two will not owe each other. I don't know how many people agree?"

how about?The unanimous reaction of several British people is that the two words "shame!" It is extremely shameful. This is talking about the issue of exchanging prisoners of war. If you can get this sky-high price of gold, you will be cast aside by the world just by doing this.

No matter how well-mannered Foreign Minister Charlie Brown is, if he pretends to be himself again, he will not be able to calmly face this shameful proposal. The three governors of Lee were ashen-faced.He was so angry that he wanted to strangle Tang Qiuli to death, but he looked at the burly man beside him with cold eyes.He could only hold back the anger that filled his heart.

Charlie Brown slowly exhaled the sullen breath in his heart, and said: "General Tang, with all due respect, this is the most absurd and incredible idea I have ever heard since I served the British Empire. We are all civilized people. You What is the difference between the practice and the slave trade in the Middle Ages?"

"I can't accept such a suggestion. It is a great insult to you and our prisoners of war in the British Empire. Our government will not make any economic comeback for this, because fundamentally there is a blatant trample on International Convention!"

Tang Qiuli didn't mean to be annoyed at all, and still said with a smile: "Of course you British people can refuse. In this way, in exchange for the personal freedom of your 10,000+ compatriots, I won't force you to accept it."

"However. If I announce your decision to the public in all the prisoner-of-war camps, saying that the British Empire government is reluctant to give some money in exchange for your freedom. In this sense, you have been ruled by your motherland. Abandoned, what will be the effect? ​​Have you thought about it?"

The four Britons were stunned, including their everywhere.Shame, this is a blatant threat, who am I dealing with?A mix of devil, gangster, rascal, blackmailer?

Tang Qiuli didn't take a look at it, and the British, who was about to collapse, continued: "If there are a few more influential prisoners of war, such as General Alexander, General Adams, etc., based on extreme disappointment with the motherland, Appropriate or radical remarks, if I publish them to the public, newspapers and radio stations around the world will be interested!"

"To put it more seriously, the remarks of the prisoners of war abandoned by the motherland were published in newspapers and radio stations, and when they were sent back to the country, their relatives would never be moved. What does it mean to the British Empire? Which is more important, I think, several people will consider it, instead of rejecting this best solution!"

A few British people finally collapsed, their faces were ashen, their eyes diverged, and they almost ran away. This despicable Chinese will definitely do this!He's not kidding.

They know better than ordinary British people how bad the domestic situation is. All the hearts and morale of the people depend on Prime Minister Churchill's three-inch tongue. , until now, if Tang Qiuli really did that, it would be the last straw that crushed the British Empire. The day of the empire's collapse is not far away!

Anger is useless, rampage can't solve the problem, righteous words are even less effective, ignoring it is self-detonation, the British even have a bitter heart, Charlie Brown is the only person who is not in a mess, but there is fine sweat on his forehead Pearl, revealing his inner tension.

If the delegation leaves in anger, it can save the face of the British Empire, and there will be no loss. Tang Qiuli will not put the delegation under house arrest, but the consequences of doing so are absolutely terrible. The relatives of those prisoners of war will Extremely disappointed with the government, next, without the Germans fighting again, the British Empire itself will collapse from within.

Charlie Brown wanted to be tough, but he didn't dare and couldn't, he only humbly begged for perfection, and said in a pleading tone: "General Tang, you are a famous military strategist and statesman in the world, you are also the one who is facing the current situation in front of our British Empire." You will understand that in order to resist the crazy attack of German fascists, our country has reached the end of its rope, and we will not be able to produce so much gold no matter what!"

"I propose a compromise method. If you release all the prisoners of war, our government will recognize the gold used to redeem the prisoners of war. Then, the two countries will sign an agreement to pay in installments. The period is tentatively set at 20 years. General Tang, this is the last line I can promise, I hope you can consider it, of course, this is only my personal opinion, and it must be approved by our government!"

Tang Qiuli looked sympathetic and nodded frequently, which made the already confused British see a glimmer of hope, and couldn't help thinking: "Maybe it was Charlie Brown's words that touched this devil-like Chinese, and he has a sense of compassion." Don't worry, release the prisoners of war first?"

Tang Qiuli seemed very moved and said: "If I don't listen to Mr. Charlie Brown's truth, I really don't know that the British Empire, which has a rich history for hundreds of years, is now so impoverished. That would be too much, in fact, there is no gold, there are other solutions, of course, this is just a suggestion, you British people can choose to refuse!"

Charlie Brown doesn't believe Tang Qiuli's words anymore. This devilish Chinese, his sinister eyes, every method and suggestion he makes are huge traps and traps. Since dealing with him, the British Empire has never If you take advantage of it, you will suffer a net loss. [

However, Charlie Brown still wanted to hear, what kind of conspiracy did Tang Qiuli have, and how sinister and shameful he would be?The words that came out of his mouth with a smile, after being translated by the young major general, will turn into sharp knives, stabbing the body of the British Empire, dripping with blood and bruises all over.

Seeing the British with a tense and alert expression, Tang Qiuli waved his hand, and Colonel Ge Zhenzhuang, the Chief of Staff, handed over a document bag. Tang Qiuli opened it gracefully, took out a few pages of documents, and gently brought them to Charlie Brown. , Said: "These, we want ten years of mining rights to offset the gold that was used to redeem your country's prisoners of war!"

Charlie Brown opened the file, and there was a series of place names on it, "Akara Oil Field, Indore Oil Field, Stewolmont Coal Mine, Bonagar Coal Mine, Sengamner Iron Mine, Siglasfya Copper Mine, Balembur Gold Mine, Benghazi Rob Hill Gold Mine, Dirupativor Silver Mine, a total of nine place names, clearly printed in English."

Charlie Brown knows that these are some mines and oil fields, but what is the scale and the amount of mining, how many resources can be provided to the British Empire, he is not clear, so he handed this document to Pajvasali, the governor of the local snake in India , and, with a consulting look, looked at him.

Governor Pajvasali quickly glanced over, his pale face suddenly turned ugly as dead ashes, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead in an instant, and his eyes were full of despair.

Looking at Tang Qiuli, who was with the old god, he said with difficulty: "General Tang, I am shocked to the extreme by my greed for you. The profits generated by these mines and oil fields are as high as tens of millions of pounds every year. You Ten years of mining rights are required, am I right?"

Governor Pajvasali's yelling, Foreign Minister Charlie Brown, Chief of Staff General Brandes, and Secretary General of the Prime Minister's Office George Fernance almost fainted. Tang Qiuli is no longer a lion. The price was skyrocketing, but the economic interests of the British Empire in the Indian continent were swallowed up in one gulp. Ten years of mining rights meant that hundreds of millions of pounds of wealth fell into the pockets of this devilish Chinese.

Without waiting for the British to be hysterical, Tang Qiuli said first: "Gentlemen, don't get excited. I have something to say first. You can choose to refuse. Of course, my original intention is to hope that the issue of prisoners of war can be resolved satisfactorily. If your country If the government can provide this amount of funds, we will not have the request for the mining rights.”

"Actually, this is very troublesome. For this reason, I have to invest a large amount of early-stage funds, inject them into mines and oil fields, replace equipment, etc., which is not as simple as spot transactions. Considering the current economic conditions in your country, I can only Reluctantly put forward this suggestion, it is for reference only, I emphasize again, you can choose to refuse!"
