Age of Conquest Reborn

Ciano, the head of the Italian negotiating delegation, and a dozen other Italians, all became temporarily absent-minded after seeing Tang Qiuli and Mei Ting. They were too young. This was their evaluation of Tang Qiuli. She is so beautiful.

Elegant temperament is my impression of Mei Ting.【

Ciano hesitated for a moment, he was not sure that the young Chinese general sitting opposite him was Tang Qiuli who killed hundreds of thousands of Italian soldiers, the Chinese devil in the mouth of the Japanese, and the beautiful man next to him

What is the identity of this outrageous Chinese female military officer?

Seeing the surprise of the Italian, Tang Qiuli took a sip of tea, did not get up, glanced around, and said lightly: "I am Tang Qiuli, and this is my eldest lady, Colonel Mei Ting, who is also negotiating with me today.

His only assistant!"

After listening to the translation, Ciano suppressed the shock in his heart. Although he was very dissatisfied with Tang Qiuli's rudeness, he knew his identity and the purpose of the negotiation, so he stepped forward politely and said: "Dear

General Tang, I am the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Italy, Ciano, the leader of the negotiating delegation. I have heard of General Tang for a long time. When I met him today, it turned out that he was well-deserved. General Tang is young and promising..."

Ciano is a veteran diplomat who has been involved in the diplomatic community and knows a lot about China. Before coming to Busan on the Korean Peninsula, he also made great efforts to study Chinese culture. He knew that Chinese people have a good reputation and like to hear compliments, so he talked about it.

He poured down the hat and rice soup to create a friendly atmosphere first. After the negotiation started, it was conducive to bargaining, which was equivalent to taking the initiative. He knew this well.

As for a truckload of compliments, there is no cost and no money. For Ciano, who is involved in the diplomatic community, he can pick them up at his fingertips without any obstacles. However, before he could finish the compliments, he was struck by Tang

Qiu Li interrupted rudely.

Tang Qiuli raised his eyes and looked at the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was filling himself with rice soup in order to put on a high hat. A sarcastic sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said: "Mr. Ciano, if I come to listen to you singing praises for me,

, then there is no need, there is no time, and doing this will not do you any good, let’s get to the point!”

"Uh!" Ciano was full of words and immediately held it back. His expression was very embarrassing. He secretly despised the Chinese and did not understand diplomatic etiquette. After returning to his seat, he took out a large pile of documents and said: "We

The conditions are very simple. Under the framework of international conventions, to solve the problem of more than 100,000 prisoners of war in our country, we hope that you will abide by international conventions, release Italian prisoners of war, and arrange for the return of Italian prisoners of war. Of course, for the sake of fairness, we will give you

Appropriate compensation!”

"There is nothing about international conventions here. What I am most concerned about is the amount of compensation. What kind of compensation?" Tang Qiuli went straight to the point without going around in circles. He asked the price offered by the Italians, and Mei Ting laughed secretly in her heart.

, the husband at this moment has the face of a profiteer.

Ciano did not expect that Tang Qiuli would be so direct. He was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he explained: "We, the Kingdom of Italy, promise not to interfere in the affairs of Asia and the Pacific anymore, and we will compensate you with 100,000 Italian lire."

Cash to make up for your losses during the period when you arranged for the prisoners of war to return home!”

"Is this the condition of your Italian negotiation?" Tang Qiuli asked in a cold voice with a somewhat evil look in his eyes.

Ciano nodded: "Yes, these are all our negotiating conditions, all for the purpose of better solving the prisoner of war issue!"

Tang Qiuli chuckled lightly and waved his hand towards a staff officer. The staff officer took out a large pile of documents from his briefcase and distributed them to the Italians one by one. At this time, he said: "Look at our conditions.

, and then it’s never too late to talk!”

Ciano was aware of the Chinese's anger, but it did not affect his thinking. Instead, he wanted to see what harsh conditions the Chinese had, and it was not too late to bargain. He opened the document in front of him and had just read less than half a page.

Son, his eyes were straight, as if he had been struck by lightning. He was stunned and looked at Tang Qiuli who was calm and composed with anger.

The expressions of the other dozen Italians were similar to his, with expressions of disbelief and anger, especially several officers headed by Army Commander-in-Chief General Flavio, whose faces turned red and gasped.

The movements have become thicker.

The document clearly states in Italian, "We have no intention and no energy to take in hundreds of thousands of Italian prisoners of war. Therefore, by negotiating with utmost sincerity, all prisoners of war can be released, on the condition that Italy must pay accordingly for these prisoners of war."

The ransom, the specific terms are as follows.”

"First, for senior Italian officers above the level of major general, according to their military rank, the ransom for each major general is 300 taels of gold, for lieutenant generals, 400 taels, and for generals, 500 taels. Second, for officers at the school level, the ransom is

The ransom is fifty taels of gold for each major, one hundred and fifty taels of gold for the lieutenant colonel, and one hundred and fifty taels of gold for the colonel. The ransom for a lieutenant-level officer is ten taels of gold for a second lieutenant, twenty taels of gold for a lieutenant, and 20 taels of gold for a captain.

Thirty taels of gold."

"The above list is the ransom standard for officers. As for ordinary soldiers, based on the principle of humanitarianism, the calculation method is based on the average number of Australian prisoners of war. The per capita ransom is five taels of gold. Of course, considering that so much gold is taken out at one time

, your country has a certain difficulty, you can adopt a compromise method, convert it in equivalent silver or German marks according to the current international price, I emphasize that Italian lira is definitely not wanted!"

Ciano's eyes were bloodshot, he slapped the document angrily and shouted loudly: "General Tang, on behalf of the Kingdom of Italy, I strongly condemn and protest against your despicable and shameless behavior, which violates international conventions.

Their behavior is equivalent to that of human traffickers. Italian prisoners of war are not slaves, and their dignity cannot be violated. We have the right to ask you to release the prisoners of war unconditionally, otherwise, the matter will be made public!"

"Hahaha!" Tang Qiuli's smile became more intense. He took a sip of tea and shook his head and said: "Mr. Ciano, please be patient. I told you not to use any bullshit international conventions."

Talking about things is of no use at all. Don't talk about international conventions either. You and I both know what they are. To be honest, they are of no use at all. If you don't believe me, ask Mussolini. He mentioned international conventions.

Is the convention taken seriously?”

"As for the dignity of Italian prisoners of war, human traffickers, etc. you talk about, it is even more ridiculous. You say, if you Italians don't live a good life in your own country, you have to go all the way to Asia to mix with us China and

During the war in Japan, didn’t they take the initiative to show their faces to fight?”

"When your Prime Minister Mussolini and the whole country of Italy are staring at the interests of Asia with red eyes, colluding with the Japanese, and providing weapons and equipment to the Japanese, have they considered the dignity of the Chinese people? Don't think so.

Dignity is what you talk about. Dignity is what you give yourself, not what you talk about!"

"Since you Italians don't want dignity and are reaching out to Asia and the Pacific to reap benefits from afar, then I can only let my soldiers slap my face and cut off my hands. Isn't it disrespectful? Remember, this is stupid and greedy.

The price, Mussolini should have thought of this when he stretched out his hand!"

"As for what you said about making this matter public, my answer is that it is up to you. However, what I need to tell you is that the price Italy will pay for this will be based on the existing ransom.

The average number of people increased by 50%. By the way, China and Italy are currently at war and are hostile countries. I wonder how much ransom Mussolini will pay after detaining a dozen of you?"

"What?" Ciano, Flavio and others were almost going crazy. They didn't know what this Chinese was doing. He actually wanted to detain himself. It was unheard of. However, looking at his current posture, he could do it.

The Italians were absolutely nervous when something like this happened.

"Don't be nervous!" Tang Qiuli chuckled softly and said: "There is a motto in China, which is called 'When two countries are at war, don't kill the envoy!' I will not detain you, but I also don't want the issue of Italian prisoners of war to remain indefinitely.

If I continue to delay, I won’t bargain with you over this, so I’ll give you a happy word!”

"Of course, Mr. Ciano can declare that the negotiations have broken down. If he does not want to redeem hundreds of thousands of Italian prisoners of war, you will immediately leave the Korean Peninsula and return home by plane. However, I want to remind you that the consequences of doing so will not only be you, but also Mexico."

Even Solini can’t bear it!”

"I will send all the hundreds of thousands of Italian prisoners of war to Siberia to work as laborers. The vast Siberia is being developed and requires a large number of laborers. At the same time, I will also ask senior officers among the prisoners of war to continuously publish open letters to expose your Italian government's

Economic interests, regardless of the life and death of prisoners of war. In your eyes, prisoners of war are not as valuable as gold. I have a different view from you. In my eyes, hundreds of thousands of Italian prisoners of war are like moving gold bars.

!”

"Once this happens, to what extent the emotions of the Italian people, especially the emotions of relatives of prisoners of war, will explode, and whether Mussolini can secure his position as prime minister, I dare not jump to conclusions, and I will keep my head and do the math.

How much gold should the Italian government spend instead of just talking about dignity and international conventions?"

"I don't have many advantages. The only advantage is that I can see the problem from the other person's perspective and understand the other person!" Finally, Tang Qiuli ended his long speech with a compassionate tone.

Ciano almost fainted and could not refute a word. He was indeed a veteran in diplomacy, but he had never encountered such a negotiating opponent. He was straightforward, made no secret of his demands, and flouted all rules.

At a loss what to do, this Chinese, who is more hateful than the gangsters and thugs put together, has the trump card in his hands. What he is probably least afraid of is the breakdown of the negotiations, right?
