Age of Conquest Reborn

Tang Qiuli carefully took Mei Xue's hand and came to Zhao Yuhe. Zhao Yuhe said apologetically: "Sir, Second Madam, I'm disturbing you!"

Mei Xue suddenly flashed her big eyes and smiled calmly. Tang Qiuli asked, "Yu He, what's going on?"

Zhao Yuhe took out the telegram and said: "The Communications Office received the telegram from the German head of state Hitler and immediately forwarded it to Yangon!" As he said that, he handed the telegram over. ▲∴

Tang Qiuli took the telegram and asked without reading it: "What is the content of the telegram?"

Zhao Yuhe replied with a smile: "Hitler, the head of state of Germany, is willing to be a peacemaker and bridge the gap for Italian Prime Minister Mussolini to facilitate bilateral negotiations between the two sides on the issue of hundreds of thousands of Italian prisoners of war!"

Tang Qiuli read the telegram again, and then laughed loudly "Hahaha!" and said: "What a good thing! The person who sent the money is here. Yu Deshui's intelligence department did a good job. This fire is burned well, and Mo Mo

There is smoke and fire under Solini's butt. He can't sit still and takes the initiative to negotiate with us!"

Zhao Yuhe was stunned and said in confusion: "Commander, the Italians took the initiative to ask for negotiations. Is there someone behind the scenes from the Intelligence Department?"

"What do you think?" Tang Qiuli said very proudly: "With Mussolini's virtue, how could he take the initiative to ask for negotiations? Therefore, I gave Yu Deshui instructions to activate the intelligence network in Europe and set off a stir in Italy.

A wave of civil protests to rescue hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war forced Mussolini, a bastard, to negotiate with us. Now it seems that it has worked. We should give a big credit to the European Intelligence Center of the Intelligence Agency. You can arrange this!

"

"The teacher's back-up tactics are so hard to guard against!" Zhao Yuhe sighed.

"Humph!" Tang Qiuli's tone became colder and he said with fierceness: "Mussolini took advantage of the Japanese. This time, I not only made him vomit it all out, but also took advantage of my own.

I asked Chen Feng to call Hitler back and agree to negotiate with Italy on the prisoner of war issue. Let the Italians form a delegation as soon as possible. The location of the negotiation will be Busan on the Korean Peninsula!"

"In addition, I emphasized in the telegram that the members of the Italian negotiating delegation must be able to represent the Italian government and make decisions on the spot. Don't bring in people like cats and dogs. Nothing can be decided. I don't have time to do this.

What nonsense, tell Hitler that I personally participated in this negotiation and made decisions on the spot. Also, thank Hitler, after all, they introduced us to a money-giving boy!"

Zhao Yuhe felt a chill. Seeing the teacher's eyes shining and his index finger moving, he prayed for the Italians in his heart. How should I put it? At this time, the teacher was almost like a kidnapping bandit, with bulging eyes.

are all gold ingots.

The reply from China soon reached the hands of the German head of state Hitler. He read the telegram several times, and there was always an indescribable feeling in his heart. Tang Qiuli's reply was normal, and it was enough for him.

Regarding face, the request for members of the negotiating delegation is also normal. If you can't make a final decision, what else are you talking about?

"Goebbels, do you think the reply from my old Chinese friend has any special meaning?" Hitler handed the telegram to the Nazi Party Propaganda Minister Goebbels, hoping that this old subordinate who was playing with words could read it.

Come up with some clues.

Goebbels read the telegram several times, shook his head and said: "My Führer, it's normal, it has no special meaning."

Hitler nodded and asked his secretary to find Foreign Minister Ribbentrop and told him face to face: "Dear Ribbentrop, Tang Qiuli has agreed to negotiate with the Italians. You will go to Rome in person right away.

, handed the original text of the telegram to Mussolini, and urged the Italians on behalf of Germany to form a negotiating delegation as soon as possible!"

Goebbels and Ribbentrop both left, leaving Hitler alone in the office. He was still thinking about the telegram. What puzzled him was why Tang Qiuli wanted to participate in the negotiations in person. Logically speaking, this

An old friend is busy commanding millions of troops to besiege the Japanese mainland. There is no reason or need to participate in something as trivial as prisoner of war negotiations?

German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop flew to Rome that day, handed the original text of Tang Qiuli's telegram to Mussolini, and conveyed Teller's meaning word for word. He felt that,

Your Excellency, the Italian Prime Minister, visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and a glimmer of light appeared on his gloomy face. It seems that the wave of domestic popular protests has tortured this strongman!

After sending Ribbentrop to the State Guesthouse to rest, Mussolini did not dare to delay and immediately held a meeting of party, government and military officials at the Prime Minister's Office to discuss the formation of a negotiating delegation and rush to the Korean Peninsula.

This is a thankless and embarrassing job. Normally, the negotiations between the two warring countries on the issue of prisoners of war involve the repatriation of prisoners of war from both sides, but the shameless thing is here, in the hands of the Italian army.

Not a single prisoner of war from the squadron, but hundreds of thousands of Italian soldiers, became prisoners of the Chinese. This was not a matter of mutual repatriation of prisoners of war, but a matter of Italy unilaterally taking back prisoners of war, which was a bit like a defeated country.

Therefore, no one in Italy's party, government or military wanted to take on this errand. Who would want to do such a shameful thing? The senior officials were passing the blame to each other, talking empty words and clichés, but no one came forward.

Ni was so angry that his face was livid, his thin lips pursed tightly, and he glanced unkindly at the faces of the officials.

However, the senior officials were also veterans who had experienced great storms. They could still withstand the pressure of the Prime Minister. In the end, Mussolini had to personally order the generals, with his son-in-law, Minister of Foreign Affairs Ciano, as the leader, and the Army

Commander-in-Chief General Flavio will be the deputy head of the delegation, and a total of 15 people, including personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Army Headquarters, will form a negotiation delegation to Busan on the Korean Peninsula.

Since the Prime Minister personally ordered the general, the one who was chosen cannot be postponed. As the leader of the regiment, Ciano has a heavy responsibility. It is his unshirkable responsibility to share the worries of his father-in-law. However, there are some things that should be investigated before setting off.

, "Prime Minister, what is our bottom line in this negotiation with the Chinese?" Ciano asked.

Mussolini thought for a moment and said: "Under the framework of international conventions, you and Flavio can decide everything on the spot! The only purpose is to bring the soldiers home!" After a pause, he

He added: "In order to achieve this goal, we can give some appropriate compensation to the Chinese people. You can make a temporary decision on the specific situation. If you can't decide, send me a telegram!"

Mussolini wanted too much to solve the prisoner of war issue. The wave of domestic public protests never completely subsided. Although the public's mood calmed down after the government made a statement of commitment, he knew that the Italian government and the Nazi Party had no way out.

, only if negotiations with the Chinese are successful and hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war are brought back, otherwise Italy will be an erupting volcano that can drown itself and the Nazi Party.

Mussolini had always had doubts about the extraordinary wave of protests that swept across the country due to prisoners of war, and always suspected that there was someone behind it. However, after turning around and ordering the intelligence agency to intervene in the investigation, nothing was found.

, all the evidence showed that it was a spontaneous action by the relatives of the prisoners of war, but he instinctively felt that it was not that simple.

Successful negotiations with the Chinese and taking back more than 100,000 prisoners of war are the only way to break the situation. For this, Mussolini was willing to pay a monetary price even if the Chinese were cheap, but in his case

In my mind, I have never regretted my involvement in the Sino-Japanese War in Asia. In this matter, Italy has benefited too much. As long as there is an opportunity, Italy will participate. Of course, not only for the benefit, but also

Hate the Chinese.

The Italian negotiating delegation soon arrived. Mussolini personally went to the airport to see the delegation off. Three days later, the Italian negotiating delegation's 15-member special plane entered China from Xinjiang via Central Asia and landed in Busan, the Korean Peninsula.

A field airport in the countryside.

As soon as they got off the plane, the Italians who were accustomed to the Mediterranean climate were shivering from the cold wind. They wrapped their coats tightly. The person who came to greet them was a fully armed major general of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

The officer, with several cars, had a bad attitude, not too polite, but cold enough. Admiral Ciano and Flavio understood that after all, the two countries were still at war, and they could still ask the Chinese to roll out a red carpet.

Fire a salute to welcome yourself?

The convoy took a dozen Italians to a small hotel in downtown Busan. There were heavily armed soldiers standing guard at the door. After arriving at the hotel lobby, the colonel told the Italians through an interpreter, "Our division commander is very busy these days.

I probably won’t be able to find time to negotiate. When will we start negotiations? Wait for our notification! In addition, this is already the front line. For safety reasons, please don’t go out!”

After saying that, the major general got in the car and drove away without giving the Italians a chance to speak. He left Ciano and General Flavio, who wanted to ask some questions, in the small hotel. The major general's car drove directly in.

Independent Division Busan Front Headquarters, then Major General knocked on the door of the division commander Tang Qiuli's office.

"Come in!" A gentle shout came from inside the house. The major general pushed the door open and went in. The warm air blowing against his face blew away the chill on his body. Tang Qiuli asked with a smile: "Director Ge, our money-delivery boy has been received. What's wrong?

Placed?"

The person who picked up the Italian delegation at the airport turned out to be Major General Ge Zhenzhuang, the director of the division's staff department. When the division commander asked him, he smiled and replied: "We arranged it in a small hotel and told the Italians that you don't have time these days.

Wait for notification when to negotiate!"

"Yes!" Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "Yes, let them dry out for a few days to let the cold wind on the Korean Peninsula cool down their anger. In addition, you should inform Shen Jun that the Investigation Office should prepare a good job for the Italian delegation.

Don't let the Japanese interfere with the security work at the station. They scare away our God of Wealth. I can't spare him!"
