Age of Conquest Reborn

The eight members of the Japanese negotiating delegation, headed by the chief negotiator Nagata Toshie, filed into the conference room. They were flanked by armed special guards. They seemed to be escorting them in. Tang Qiuli and Nagata Toshie were no strangers.

.

This guy saw it at a glance. Tang Qiuli, who was sitting in the middle seat, 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 elegant as before."

!How enviable!”

"Envy? What are you envious of? Why does this little devil's words smell a little sour?" Tang Qiuli was a little confused. How could he know that Nagata Minjiang had something to say, "Nagata Minjiang is indeed an old acquaintance. Sit down.

Come on, stop talking useless nonsense and let the negotiations begin!" He didn't have time to think about this, so he said calmly.

After sitting down, Nagata Toshijiang spoke first: "General Tang, His Majesty the Emperor of our country, I am very grateful to General Tang for his benevolent act this time and is willing to return more than 50,000 wounded soldiers of our country. In this regard, before my arrival,

His Majesty the Emperor has specially entrusted me to express my deep respect for General Tang as a person and my deep admiration for General Tang's ability to comply with international conventions out of humanitarian considerations!"

Nagata Toshie was well versed in negotiation. As soon as he came up, he poured several bowls of rice soup into him, which could not help but relax the atmosphere and make a good start for the subsequent substantive negotiations. As for Emperor Hirohito's greetings and admiration for Tang Qiu,

Of course, the words "Li" were made up by this guy himself. His Majesty the Emperor wanted to bite this abominable Chinese devil in front of him to death. Every time he mentioned it, he cursed loudly, but he could also greet him kindly?

Seeing that Tang Qiuli remained calm and seemed to have drank several bowls of rice soup, Nagata Toshijiang struck while the iron was hot and continued to show his goodwill. "General Tang's move should be regarded as a model for soldiers and is consistent with the principles that I, the Emperor of Japan, have always upheld.

, quite similar..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Qiuli interrupted him rudely, "Stop it, I said it. Stop talking nonsense, I, Tang Qiuli, am not worthy of being compared to the beasts that invaded our territory and massacred the Chinese people. Today's negotiations,

There is only one purpose, and it is very simple. You Japanese want to buy back the more than 50,000 wounded Japanese soldiers in Magadan. So, this time is not a negotiation, but a business. There is buying and selling, and the goods are five

More than 10,000 Japanese soldiers were injured!"

"Ah? - What?" Nagata Toshie's eyes were as wide as light bulbs, and he was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He was holding back all the clichés. Before his arrival, he discussed with Minister of Foreign Affairs Yoshihiko Noda.

For almost a whole night, plans were prepared for any situation that might arise during the negotiations, 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.

After all the calculations, Tang Qiuli said it bluntly, this was a business, asking the empire to pay for more than 50,000 wounded soldiers?

"General Tang, this is not in line with international practice. The wounded soldiers of the empire are as alive as human beings. How can they be treated as commodities? This is an insult to the soldiers of the empire. I strongly protest!" Nagata Toshijiang almost jumped up and blushed.

The man with a thick neck said.

Suddenly, Tang Qiuli smiled deceitfully and said slowly: "Human? Why didn't I see it? What I saw were more than 50,000 animals. Of course, whether they are commodities or not is up to you. In my Tang Dynasty,

In Qiu Li's eyes, they are just commodities. If you protest, you can, but at worst, the business will not be discussed and the two will be broken up!"

Nagata Toshijiang held a breath in his chest, feeling so suffocated that his heart ached, and there were stars in front of his eyes. He did not dare to walk away. If he really left in anger, then those reporters waiting outside who had preconceived ideas and prejudiced against the empire would say

I don’t know what kind of report will be made, but the current direction of public opinion is not good for the empire. What’s more, I can’t do anything about it!

For a moment, Nagata Toshijiang felt a little downcast, and said in a low tone: "Then please General Tang, please put forward your request in terms of specific details!"

Tang Qiuli turned around and asked Mei Xue in a pretentious manner: "Director Mei, does your Information Office know the specific number of wounded Japanese soldiers in Magadan and the cost of treatment by our military medical department?"

Seeing her husband being mischievous, Mei Xue suppressed a laugh and replied: "Reporting to the teacher, we have already calculated the statistics, and they are all here!" As she said that, she handed over a folder, and when she opened it, she found a blank piece of paper.

Tang Qiuli secretly praised in his heart that he knew his wife well, so he cooperated tacitly, pretended to look at her a few times, and said: "According to the statistics of our medical staff, the number of Japanese soldiers abandoned by your Prince Zai Ren in Magadan is

For more than 58,000 people, at a fixed price, Japan has to pay five taels of gold for each wounded soldier. As for the medicines we use to treat the wounded soldiers, they have not been included!"

"Of course, we treat this part of the fee as if it was provided free of charge. Who made us the winners? They are teachers of benevolence and righteousness. Speaking of which, we still lost money!"

There are nearly 60,000 wounded soldiers in Magadan. Each of them has 5 taels of gold, which adds up to 300,000 taels. He probably sold His Majesty the Emperor, but he couldn't get so much gold. When he heard Tang Qiuli quoted this sky-high price

Toshijiang Nagata almost fainted and went berserk, "I protest, you are blackmailing! Nasty blackmail! I want to meet with reporters immediately and make General Tang's blackmail behavior public on the spot! Let everyone

The whole world knows the truth!”

Saying that, Nagata Toshie suddenly stood up, and his entourage also had livid faces. Tang Qiuli smiled leisurely, stretched out his hand gracefully in a gesture of invitation, and said: "It's just blackmail, you Japanese don't have to accept it.

Such blackmail! If you want to meet with reporters, okay, please do as you please. Director Mei, please arrange a press conference for Mr. Nagata and let him reveal the so-called truth in front of reporters!"

"However, I still want to kindly remind Mr. Nagata that the reputation and image of you Japanese people are not very good. Can the reporters believe you just by saying this? Don't forget, they have just returned from Magadan

Fengtian!"

Tang Qiuli's words were unhurried and sounded like a very kind reminder. Nagata Minjiang's legs that he had just stepped out suddenly froze there. Yes, what evidence did he have? This was a closed-door negotiation. Reporters

Not understanding the truth, and being deliberately guided by the seemingly beautiful but insidious Director Mei, the questions asked by reporters in front of the airport exit revealed many problems. All trends are not conducive to the Empire of Japan!

Nagata Toshijiang knew that reporters would not believe his words, and would instead create public opinion. In addition, Prince Zairen abandoned the wounded soldiers first, and the cunning Tang Qiuli prepared the article in advance, making it difficult for him to defend himself.

, thinking of this, his bloody courage suddenly gave way.

"Please forgive me for my recklessness just now, General Tang. Your proposal is not non-negotiable, but your asking price is too high. Our country's treasury is empty, the people are living in poverty, and we don't have that much gold to pay for it. Do you think it's possible?"

From the original number, subtract

Lose 90%?" Shamelessly, after returning to his seat, Nagata Toshijiang changed his face and complained pitifully about being poor. However, he did not feel ashamed because he could save 270,000 taels of gold for the empire.

Your own face is nothing!

Tang Qiuli laughed again, this time, the smile was very warm, but his tone was cold, "Nagata Toshijiang, don't cry about poverty, Japan can get this gold, I will do the math for you, occupy our three northeastern provinces and nearly

In ten years, years of plundering and oppression, how much mineral resources have been robbed from the Northeast, how much hard-earned money has been robbed from the people of the Northeast, plus more than 50 years of ruling the Korean Peninsula, you Japanese have made a fortune. All this, Hirohito's heart

Quite a few!"

All the words were said for this sake, and Nagata Toshijiang also knew that it did not change Tang Qiuli's tendency to open his mouth and ask for a high price. He said with a bitter mouth and a hoarse voice: "General Tang, this matter is very important. I

I can’t make the decision and I still need to ask for instructions from home. Please give me a few days!”

Tang Qiuli was very generous and waved his hand and said: "Okay, it can take a few days. Talking about business is not a matter of urgency. However, I want to remind you that starting from tomorrow, every time this matter is delayed for one day, you will

The ransom that needs to be paid will be increased by 5% to the total amount. Taking care of your wounded soldiers requires food, drink, and medicine, and it also costs money, right? I don’t have to be rich, please understand!"

"This..." Nagata Toshijiang was completely confused. Seeing Tang Qiuli leave the conference room with his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran had the urge to vomit blood. He understood in an instant that in front of this Chinese devil

, the empire will never be able to take advantage, because he is even more evil and despicable than His Majesty the Emperor!

Walking out of the conference room, Mei Xue laughed so hard that her branches trembled with laughter. She glanced at Tang Qiuli and gasped, "You are really quite capable!"

"It's funny, you can't treat the Japanese too much! I still feel like I'm not cruel enough!" Tang Qiuli said with a little pride.

"Hey Qiuli, if you ask for so much at once, will it be counterproductive and push the Japanese to a dead end? You will simply ignore the wounded Japanese soldiers in Magadan. In this way, your plan will be in vain!" Mei Xue glared at Black and White.

The clear big eyes suddenly reminded me with some worry.

"Tch!" Tang Qiuli said disdainfully: "Can a cooked duck still fly? You are going to meet with the reporters right away and reveal a little bit about the content of today's negotiation, and we will give it to the anxious Hirohito.

If I add more fire and don't roast that guy until it's tender inside and outside, it's my miscalculation. By the way, Xiaoxue, you know what you're going to tell the reporters, right?"

"You're worrying! I'm not a newbie. Don't worry, I can't ruin your big deal!" Mei Xue wrinkled her little nose in dissatisfaction and said in a long tone.

Tang Qiuli, who had troubled the Japanese and troubled Hirohito with takeaways, returned to the office in a happy mood. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Ge Zhenzhuang, the director of the staff department, waiting for him. The division commander came in. Director Ge

Said: "Division Commander, I received a telegram from the Korean Peninsula Campaign Command and the battle started as planned!"
