Age of Conquest Reborn

Faced with such a negotiator who was unruly, unreasonable, completely ignorant of diplomatic etiquette and international conventions, a mixture of gangster, thug and blackmailer, and a negotiating opponent who was as evil as the Sicilian Mafia, Ciano felt that he

He felt that the powerful Chinese figure in front of him was just a black-hearted profiteer, a profiteer with no bottom line.

Tang Qiuli didn't care whether the negotiations broke down. He had hundreds of thousands of Italian prisoners of war and sufficient capital, but he was not successful. When he came to Busan on the Korean Peninsula, his father-in-law summoned him alone and gave him face-to-face instructions. He still clearly remembered that his father-in-law

With a haggard face and a tired look, if hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war are not brought back to the country, his father-in-law's status in Italy will be shaken. The current mood of the Italian people is as dangerous as a volcano that may erupt at any time.

Ciano suppressed the anger and disgust in his heart, and said in a low tone: "General Tang, the ransom you requested, please allow me to use this term temporarily, such a huge amount, such an important matter, General Flavio and I

We can’t decide, please give us enough time to ask for instructions from home, and then give you a reply!”

"Okay!" Tang Qiuli agreed happily, "I'm not unreasonable. How long will it take you?"

"Five days!" Ciano thought for a moment and said.

"No!" Tang Qiuli refused unceremoniously and said: "Three days at most, I only give you three days. I don't have much energy to waste on unimportant things. On the way to Busan, you guys

You should have seen that, I am busy commanding my troops and making preparations before attacking the Japanese mainland!"

"Oh, by the way, talking about attacking the Japanese mainland. I also want to remind Mr. Ciano that there are more than 100,000 Italian army soldiers in the Japanese mainland. When you ask Mussolini for instructions, don't forget

Prepare the ransom for them in advance, and we will negotiate the price when the time comes, but it will never be the current price, it can only be higher!"

"I must remind you that my principle is that one-hand money and one-hand goods are not owed on credit. Pay the money to others when you see it, and the money and goods will be paid in full! We Chinese have a saying that 'losing money avoids disaster!' I hope Mr. Ciano will...

Send this sentence to Prime Minister Mussolini, he will understand its meaning!"

"Also, don't keep talking about personal freedom. I want to visit the streets of Busan. The head of my secret service told me that there are already more than ten meters of Japanese ace agents sneaking into the city of Busan. They are not targeting me.

Tang Qiuli came because he was interested in the heads of several people, especially the heads of Mr. Ciano and General Flavio!"

"Uh!" Ciano's vision went dark, he staggered a few steps, and almost fainted. It is unbelievable that the Japanese want their own heads, but this hateful Chinese, the issue of Italian prisoners of war in the North American War, has not yet been finished.

His eyes were set on the hundreds of thousands of Italian soldiers in Japan. They were so greedy that Ciano could only weakly use this word to describe what Tang Qiuli did.

Walking in the courtyard of the villa, Mei Ting held her husband's arm and kept smiling, "Sister Ting, why are you smiling?" Tang Qiuli asked strangely.

Mei Ting raised her face like a flower, shook her head and said: "Qiu Li, the more I look at you now, the more you look like a black-hearted profiteer, okay? The lion opens his mouth and kills more than a hundred tons of Italians in one go.

Huang Jin, you are getting better and better at doing this!"

"Really? Sister Ting means that I am a veteran?" Tang Qiuli retorted dissatisfied: "I am a gentleman and I behave myself!"

"Hmph!" Mei Ting snorted and said, "You have to say it yourself!"

"Phew!" Tang Qiuli was happy. Calculating on his fingers, it was really like that. First, Stalin asked Stalin to redeem the prisoners of war and asked for a lot of strategic materials. Then the British got the mineral resources of the West Indian continent.

Mining rights also brought a lot of benefits. As for Japanese prisoners of war, in addition to killing them, they were sold even more often, from Northeast China to Indochina.

Mei Ting buttoned up Tang Qiuli's coat and said worriedly: "Qiu Li, if you ask for such a high price, are you not afraid that the Italians can't afford it?"

"Mussolini can do it!" Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "The Italians have made a lot of gold just from the Japanese. After Europe started, they followed the Germans and did not make any efforts.

It’s not a lot of money, it’s just a bargain, but it’s a lot of money. Don’t worry, Sister Ting, Italy’s family is well off! We’re not afraid that he will continue to light a few fires under Mussolini’s ass without negotiating, and he will

You have to get off the stage!”

"This time it just hurt Mussolini. There are more than 100,000 Italian prisoners of war in Japan, and I have to make him bankrupt! If he wants to reach out and snatch food from my mouth, Mussolini will

You have to be prepared to pay a high price. Not everyone can reach out to the interests of Asia and the Pacific!"

The hateful Chinese walked away, leaving the Italians with pain and anger. In the villa where they were temporarily staying, Ciano and the deputy commander, General Flavio, were already quarreling.

According to Admiral Flavio's intention, let's not talk about it. It is more than a hundred tons of gold, which is absolute hard currency. I am afraid that it will empty out the national treasury and cannot be taken out. It is obvious that this villain-like Chinese,

It is a naked blackmail of Italy, we must not give in!

After reading Flavio's words, Ciano was immediately furious. He had been involved in high-level Italian official circles for many years, and he was also an old turtle who had climbed into the sea. His political IQ was definitely not low. How could he not see this guy's dark little thoughts?

As the commander-in-chief of the Italian Army, Flavio holds a certain amount of military power and has a group of followers in the army. He is considered one of the most powerful figures among the Italian party, government and military leaders. If the negotiations break down,

Hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war could not return home, and the emotions of the domestic people broke out, which no one could suppress, thus shaking the throne of his old father-in-law as prime minister, and even sadly resigned because of this. Didn't he have the opportunity to ascend to the highest peak of power in Italy?

!

"The issue of prisoners of war must be negotiated with the Chinese. No matter how high the price is, we must negotiate!" Ciano said in a gloomy tone: "We must complete the mission entrusted by the Prime Minister. Now I will send a telegram to the country.

The original text conveys the conditions of that hateful Chinese, let the Prime Minister decide everything!"

Ciano's telegram went directly to the confidential room of the Prime Minister's Office, and was soon delivered to Mussolini, who was already asleep. He was wearing pajamas and felt very unhappy after reading the telegram, and immediately froze.

Immediately, there was a mad roar, "You've gone too far!" Then, there was the sound of utensils and furniture being smashed to the ground one after another, mixed with a series of curses from the Prime Minister.

Mussolini was so angry that his curses echoed in the Prime Minister's Palace. The secretaries, guards and servants were all as silent as a chill. They looked towards the direction of the Prime Minister's bedroom, not daring to speak loudly for fear of being attacked like an angry lion.

Your Excellency the Prime Minister found out and became the unlucky guy who vented his anger.

Mussolini cursed for more than ten minutes, and then there was no more movement. Everyone was worried that something had happened to the Prime Minister? But no one dared to risk it without being summoned.

Then enter the Prime Minister's bedroom.

In the bedroom, Mussolini's face was as pale as a defeated rooster. He had no strength and collapsed on his chair. In a moment of greed, he believed the words of the Japanese and reached out to Asia and the Pacific. The consequences would be

It was so tragic, and what I didn't expect was that that damn Chinese Tang Qiuli would come up with such a shameless way to release the prisoners of war.

Italy can still take out more than a hundred tons of gold. Even if it is its own private property, it can take out one-fifth of it, but it will be a thorn in the side. More importantly, it will be a huge insult to Italy's international reputation.

, Mussolini always believed that he was absolutely shameless and without limits, but in front of the Chinese Tang Qiuli, he found that his shamelessness and lack of limits could only be regarded as childish.

Has anyone seen that both warring countries would take prisoners of war as hostages and demand ransom? Only the Chinese could do it. But as Tang Qiuli concluded, Mussolini did not dare not to kidnap hundreds of thousands of people.

Bring prisoners of war back to their country, no matter how high the price is.

Because now Mussolini has felt the crisis. Through the prisoner of war incident, he has discovered that the foundation of his rule is not unbreakable and that the method of force suppression will not work. It is equivalent to one-tenth of the price of Italy.

Many people were against it, and they were also military families, especially the families of captured senior officers. The water was so deep that I didn't even dare to go there easily.

Once force is used to suppress it, the situation in Italy will get out of control. Who can guarantee that several of his generals will not take advantage of the situation and replace him? Even Ciano can detect it. The cunning Musso

Rini could see it even more clearly.

Mussolini knew that if he spent so much gold, there wouldn't be much resistance within the government. Italy is now a military government, and those senior officials are all members of the military system, so they don't dare to risk offending a few people.

The risks to millions of captured officers and soldiers' relatives and several big families put any obstacles in this matter, not to mention that he is the Prime Minister and he sticks to his word.

Mussolini hoped that some heavyweights would come out to oppose this matter, attract the attention of the domestic people and reduce his pressure, and then forcefully pass it to restore his reputation, but he knew that he could only

Just think about it, those big guys are all smarter than monkeys, can they take the initiative to be the unlucky ones and take the blame for themselves?

After calming down, Mussolini had already made a decision and was ready to spend this money, which was worth stealing. However, such a huge amount still made him tremble with heartache, but his son-in-law Ciano

In the telegram, it was clearly stated that the Chinese Tang Qiuli would never give in.

Italy alone could not make Tang Qiuli lower the price. A super heavyweight had to intervene. Mussolini racked his brains to think.
