Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 859 Crazy Negotiation

At 18:30 in the evening, an even more surprising scene appeared.

The mayor of Baghdad arrived at the Chinese Consulate in Baghdad with a large group of entourage from the city hall.All of them were wearing black suits, with briefcases and black suitcases, in short, everything looked very formal.

At this time, Du Yuming had already taken off his dirty military uniform and changed into a light gray army officer uniform.The dress was randomly rummaged from the consulate's closet.The tall Du Yuming put on this dress not only fit his body, but also carried a trace of heroism.

"Hello, if I read correctly, you are the mayor of Baghdad, right?" Du Yuming said straight to the point as soon as the two sides met: "I am the commander of the Lightning Troop under the Armored Corps of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Chinese Empire, Du Yuming Major, now I will have a meeting with you on behalf of General Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the empire!" At this time, Du Yuming was not nervous at all, but held his head high, put his hands behind his back, and listened with his back straight.Putting on a domineering look.

The other party's expression confused Baghdad Mayor Mohammad Taraki. The other party looked arrogant, but not at all artificial.This situation made Takira even more confused about the opponent's details. After a few seconds of consideration, he decided to try it out first.

"Your Excellency, Major, I am the mayor of Baghdad, and my name is Muhammad Taraki." Takira said while pondering, the situation outside Baghdad is not very clear now, although there are reports that a large number of dragon troops have entered Baghdad also occupied the Ministry of Defense and the building, but without confirmation, don't express your attitude casually.Thinking of this, he continued: "I am very surprised by your invitation. I really don't understand why you want me to come here to meet?"

"Mr. Mayor, I hope you immediately order the whole of Baghdad to surrender to me!" Du Yuming uttered a surprising sentence as soon as he opened his mouth.

"What? Major, did I hear you right? You told us to surrender?" Takira asked in surprise. Although he had expected that the Chinese might persuade them to surrender, the other party's sudden words made Taki Ra was caught off guard.After all, based on what he has seen so far, he really can't think of any reason or strength for the other party to make him surrender the whole city. "Major, are you drunk? You asked us to surrender? You are only a few of us, and you actually asked us to surrender. This is too exaggerated. It's so funny." Speaking of this, Takila couldn't help laughing out loud Get up, but his eyes never leave Du Yuming's face.

Unexpectedly, Du Yuming also burst into laughter, and his laughter was full of confidence, "Am I wrong? Baghdad is now a city full of dangers. Our troops have surrounded the city. The roads leading to the outside world have been tightly blocked by us. There is no way for you to escape, let alone break through. I really can’t think of any reason for you to stay here and persist.”

"But the facts are not necessarily what you said. Maybe you are bluffing here, maybe there is no new dragon army entering Baghdad at all, you are just stragglers who came in by accident. In short, the current situation is in my favor, at least I am now There are more people than you." At this point he waved his hand, and dozens of followers standing behind him drew out their pistols and surrounded him.

"Maybe what you said is right, Mr. Mayor." Seeing dozens of pistols pointed at him, Du Yuming still did not show any panic. He slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket, slowly I lit it, took a deep breath, and said: "Mr. Mayor, I advise you not to do such a stupid thing. Because it will not benefit you at all."

"Oh? Why?" Takila saw that the other party didn't have a look of panic, but looked very calm on the contrary, which made him feel a little uneasy.However, as the mayor of Baghdad and the senior representative of this negotiation, he must not show timidity, otherwise he will give the other party the opportunity to seize the opportunity and fall into a disadvantageous position in future negotiations.Thinking of this, he emphasized his tone, "Major, the lives of you and your subordinates are in my hands. I hope you'd better not be so arrogant. If something goes wrong, it will be hard for everyone to deal with it."

"Maybe." Du Yuming nodded slightly and said, "However, the situation is favorable to us now." Speaking of which, he threw away the half-burned cigarette, "Although we only have these people, we control the whole of Baghdad The lives and deaths of nearly 120 million people, to tell you the truth, we are just a reconnaissance force, and our mission is to enter Baghdad first to obtain information. According to the internal agreement of the Dragon Army, we generally keep in touch with the large forces every 20 minutes. If we cannot send the message on time due to reasons, then the four armored divisions outside Baghdad will unceremoniously launch a fierce attack on the city. Do you remember how the Imperial Air Force dealt with it in World War II? At that time, everything will be too late Now, what is left for you is a city in ruins."

"Hmph! Alarmist talk!" Takila pouted slightly, and said, "Who knows if what you said is true, maybe you are just bluffing here."

"It doesn't matter." Du Yuming put on a look of indifference, and continued: "It doesn't matter if you say I am alarmist or bragging. Anyway, our troops are outside Baghdad. As long as I send a telegram, or you and If your subordinates take any radical actions that prevent us from sending out the contact telegram on time, hey, then this matter will become very interesting."

He paused and said: "Tonight the whole city will be violently bombed by the Imperial Air Force, and the night bombing by the Imperial Air Force is quite exciting. Have you heard of Kirkuk's 'Operation Heavenly Sword'? The Imperial Air Force just used It turned the city into ruins for one night. The weather tonight is very good, the sky is cloudless, which is perfect for night air raids. I don’t think Baghdad has such a strong air defense force, so it can survive today Thousands of planes bombing at night? I doubt it."

Seeing that the other party was sweating, Du Yuming continued: "After the heavy bombing, we will adopt a ground attack to advance towards Baghdad from all directions. The tanks and heavy artillery of the four divisions are already ready for battle. As soon as the bombing is over , we will adopt a fierce shelling, and then enter Baghdad in a coordinated manner by the step and Tan. At that time, there will be no survivors in the city, all the men will be killed, and the women will be killed. Hehe, you should be able to imagine it. The lives of these 11 people are exchanged for the destruction of Baghdad, it is worth it, absolutely worth it!" At this point, Du Yuming looked at the other party with meaningful eyes.

After listening to Du Yuming's words, the mayor of Baghdad fell into deep thought.Although he didn't believe most of what the lunatic said, he always felt that things were not as simple as he imagined. If this was arranged in advance, how could the Chinese send a small major to negotiate with him about surrendering?However, he firmly believed in Du Yuming's words that the negotiations failed to destroy Baghdad.The Hague in the Netherlands, at least during World War II, is a good example.Because the Dutch military did not hold talks on time, The Hague was razed to the ground by German Stuka bombers.

As the chief executive of Baghdad right now, he has the power and obligation to put his city into a state of emergency to resist the Chinese attack.However, for the sake of more than 120 million innocent civilians, he really has no way to issue this order.Because, once the battle starts, these innocent people will be in a desperate situation without food, water, and fuel.This is what he does not want to see.

There is also a more important reason, which is that Takira is extremely distrustful of Iraq. From the first day Baghdad was bombed in May, the young Iraqi President Qassem fled the capital with his cronies and ministers. , senior officials from other departments have also left here one after another. It can be said that Baghdad has become a civilian city without the head of state and the government. The declaration of Baghdad as an undefended city puts the city in danger of war. In fact, the city has long been bombed by the Chinese.Now in this capital, not only is there no supreme ruler, even the commander of the army has disappeared.

In short, everything is on him, which makes the mayor feel at a loss.Although he has the determination to die, he also knows that Baghdad cannot be defended, and it is impossible to win by relying on a group of soldiers without fighting spirit and some unarmed civilians alone.At most, they could only slow down the speed of the dragon army's advance, but what they got could not be medals, but death.Now, he was chewing what Du Yuming said with extremely complicated emotions.

Seeing the other party's silence for a long time, Du Yuming heaved a sigh of relief, and the soldiers around him also heaved a long sigh of relief.To be honest, they sincerely admire their chief's ability to tell lies. They have radio stations, but these radio stations were either washed away by the river or broken in the bumps. Now they are like kites hanging outside, It is impossible to contact the large forces, and how can it be possible to contact the Air Force to launch an air strike?More importantly, if the other party refused to surrender, his lie would be exposed on the spot.

Now, there are less than 100 people who can fight in the entire consulate, and there is not much ammunition and food. Even if the surrounding dragon troops attack the city immediately, they cannot wait for their own reinforcements to rescue themselves.So, everyone looked at this crazy guy nervously, hoping that this crazy guy would stop saying anything far-fetched.
