Age of Rebirth

The eight members of the Japanese negotiating delegation, headed by the chief negotiator Nagata Minjiang, filed into the meeting room, surrounded by special guards with live ammunition, who indeed seemed to be escorting them in. Nagata Minjiang was no stranger to Tang Qiuli.

This guy saw it at a glance. Tang Qiuli, who was sitting in the middle, put on a professional smile on his face, bowed deeply, and said: "After a few years, I can see General Tang today. General Tang is as handsome as ever. ! Really enviable!"

"Envy? What are you envious of? Why does this little devil's words have a sour taste?" Tang Qiuli was a little confused. He didn't know that Changtian Minjiang had something to say, "Changtian Minjiang is indeed an old acquaintance, sit down Come on, stop the useless nonsense, let's start the negotiation!" He didn't have time to think about it, so he said lightly.

After taking his seat, Nagata Minjiang said first: "General Tang, His Majesty the Emperor of my country, thank you very much for General Tang's act of benevolence and righteousness. He is willing to return more than [-] wounded soldiers of our country. Regarding this, before I come, His Majesty the Emperor specially entrusted me to express deep respect to General Tang personally, and to express deep admiration for General Tang's behavior of abiding by international conventions out of humanitarian considerations!"

Nagata Toshie is well versed in the way of negotiation. As soon as he came up, he poured a few bowls of rice soup, which could not help easing the atmosphere, and also made a good start for the next substantive negotiations. As for Emperor Hirohito's greetings and admiration for Tang Qiu Li's words, of course, were fabricated by this guy himself. His Majesty the Emperor wished he could bite to death the hateful Chinese devil in front of him.It's not over yet.Tang Qiuli interrupted him rudely, "Stop it. As I said, stop talking nonsense. I, Tang Qiuli, don't want to be compared with the beasts that invaded our territory and slaughtered the Chinese. The purpose of today's negotiations is only one. It's very simple, there are more than 5 Japanese wounded soldiers in Magadan. You Japanese want to buy them back with money, so this time it is not a negotiation, but a business. There is a business of buying and selling, and the goods are more than 5 Japanese wounded soldiers !"

"Ah?——what?" Nagata Minjiang's eyes were staring like light bulbs, his jaw almost dropped to the ground in surprise, and he was choked back immediately, before he came.Discussed with Foreign Minister Yoshihiko Noda almost all night, regarding any situation that may arise during the negotiations.They have prepared a plan to deal with it, including how to deal with the harsh conditions proposed by Tang Qiuli, so as to avoid greater losses to the empire as much as possible.

Countless calculations, but they didn't count, Tang Qiuli said bluntly, this is a business, let the empire pay for more than 5 wounded soldiers?suddenly.Tang Qiuli smiled slyly, and said slowly: "Human? Why didn't I see it? What I saw was more than 5 animals. Of course, whether it is a commodity is a matter of your own opinion. In my case, Tang Qiuli In his eyes, it is a commodity, protest, it’s okay, the big deal is that this business will not be discussed, and it will be broken at once!”

Nagata Minjiang held his breath in his chest, feeling distressed, with stars in front of his eyes, he didn't dare to walk away, if he really walked away in anger, he would wait outside, those reporters who had preconceived ideas and prejudiced against the empire, said Not sure what kind of report to make, the current trend of public opinion is not good for the empire, not to mention, I can't make a deal!

For a while, Nagata Minjiang was a little downcast, and said in a low voice: "Then, General Tang, please put forward your request on the specific details first!"

Tang Qiuli turned his head and asked Mei Xue pretendingly, "Director Mei, has your news office got the exact number of wounded Japanese soldiers in Magadan and the cost of medical treatment in our army?"

Seeing her husband making troubles, Mei Xue suppressed a smile and replied: "Report to the teacher, the statistics have been calculated, and they are all on this!" As she spoke, she handed over a folder, and after opening it, it was a blank sheet of paper.

Tang Qiuli praised secretly, after all, he knew his wife well, cooperated tacitly, pretended to take a few glances, and said: "According to the statistics of our medical personnel, the number of Japanese soldiers abandoned in Magadan by your Prince Zairen is For more than [-] people, one price, each wounded soldier, you Japan has to pay the price of [-] taels of gold, as for the treatment of wounded soldiers, the medicines we used, etc., have not been counted!"

"Of course, this part of the fee is assumed to be provided by us free of charge. Whoever let us be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness? Speaking of which, we are still at a loss!"

There are nearly 6 wounded soldiers in Magadan, and each of them has five taels of gold, which adds up to 30 taels. He probably sold His Majesty the Emperor, and he can't get so much gold. Hearing Tang Qiuli quote such a sky-high price Numbers, Nagata Minjiang almost fainted, and completely ran away, "I protest, you are extorting! Naked extortion! I want to meet with reporters immediately, and make this extortion of General Tang public on the spot! Let the whole world know Know the truth of the matter!"

As he said that, Nagata Minjiang stood up abruptly, and his attendants were also pale. Tang Qiuli smiled leisurely, stretched out his hand gracefully, and said, "It's just blackmail. You Japanese don't have to accept it." This kind of extortion! Seeing the reporter, all right, take your word for it, Director Mei, arrange a press conference for Mr. Nagata, let him shake off the so-called truth in front of the reporters!"

"However, I still want to remind Mr. Nagata kindly that the reputation and image of you Japanese is not good. Just based on your casual words, can the reporters believe it? Don't forget, they just returned from Magadan For God's sake!"

Tang Qiuli's words were unhurried. It sounded like a very kind reminder. Nagata Minjiang's leg froze immediately. Yes, what evidence do I have? This is a closed-door negotiation. Reporters Not knowing the truth, but being deliberately guided by the seemingly beautiful but insidious Director Mei, the reporter asked questions before the airport exit, which explained a lot of problems. All wind directions are not conducive to the Great Japanese Empire!

Nagata Minjiang knew that the reporters would not believe what he said, and would instead create a big public opinion. In addition, it was Prince Zairen who abandoned the wounded soldiers first, and the cunning Tang Qiuli made the article ahead of time. , Thinking of this, his bloody courage immediately vented.

"I also ask General Tang to forgive me for my recklessness just now. Your proposal is not non-negotiable, but your asking price is too high. Our country's treasury is empty, people's lives are poor, and there is not so much gold to pay. Subtract 90.00% from the original amount?" With a cheeky face, Nagata Minjiang changed his face after returning to his seat, pitifully complaining that he was poor, but he didn't feel ashamed, and he could save 27 taels of gold for the empire , My own face is considered a fart!

Tang Qiuli laughed again, this time, he smiled very warmly, but his tone was cold, "Changtian Minjiang, don't cry poorly, Japan can produce this gold, I will do the math for you, occupy our three northeastern provinces for nearly In ten years, years of plundering and squeezing, how many mineral resources were robbed of the Northeast, how much hard-earned money was robbed of the people in the Northeast, plus the rule of the Korean Peninsula for more than [-] years, you Japanese have made a fortune, these, Hirohito’s heart Countless!"...

It's all about this, and Nagata Minjiang also knows that there is no change in the possibility of Tang Qiuli opening his mouth and asking for prices. His mouth is full of bitterness, and he said in a hoarse voice: "General Tang, the matter is very important. I can't be the master, and I still need to ask the country for instructions, please give me a few days!"

Tang Qiuli was very magnanimous, and waved his hand and said, "Yes, a few days will do. It's not urgent to discuss business, but I want to remind you that starting tomorrow, every day this matter is delayed, you The ransom that needs to be paid will increase by 5.00% in the total amount. Taking care of your wounded soldiers requires food, drink, and medicine, and you have to spend money? I don’t need to be rich, please understand!”

"This..." Nagata Minjiang was completely confused. Seeing Tang Qiuli with his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran left the meeting room. He had the urge to vomit blood, and he understood in an instant. In front of this Chinese devil Well, the empire will never be able to take advantage of it, because he is even more evil and despicable than His Majesty the Emperor!

Walking out of the meeting room, Mei Xue laughed wildly, cast Tang Qiuli a glance, and gasped, "You guy, you're really good enough!"

"Small, it's not too much to treat the Japanese! I still don't think I'm cruel enough!" Tang Qiuli said with a little pride.

"Hey Qiuli, if you ask for so much at once, will it backfire and drive the Japanese to a dead end, and simply ignore the wounded Japanese soldiers in Magadan? In this way, your plan will come to nothing!" Mei Xue stared at black and white The big clear eyes suddenly reminded me with some worry.

"Cut!" Tang Qiuli said dismissively: "A boiled duck can still fly? You are going to meet with the reporters right away, reveal a little bit about the content of today's negotiations, and then we will give the battered Yuren Turn up the fire, don't roast that guy until it's scorched inside and tender outside, it's my fault, by the way, Xiaoxue, you know what to tell the reporters, right?"

"Worry! I'm not a first-time novice, don't worry, I won't ruin your big business!" Mei Xue wrinkled her little nose dissatisfied and said in a drawn-out tone.

The Japanese were overwhelmed, and Hirohito was troubled by outsiders. Tang Qiuli, who was in a good mood, returned to the office in a happy mood. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Ge Zhenzhuang, the chief of staff, waiting for him. Seeing the teacher come in, Chief Ge Said: "Master, I received a telegram from the Korean Peninsula Campaign Command, and the battle started as planned!"
