When Lin Yanni heard Gao Jiu say she was going to return to the Golden Triangle, she was not happy, but was a little disappointed.

These days, she has been able to spend time with Gao Jiu. Although the conditions are difficult and the battles are continuous, she still feels so beautiful. She doesn't care about the quality of her living conditions, and as long as she can be with her lover, she will be very satisfied.

But she also knew that it would be a matter of time before leaving Luzon Island. She said: "I understand, Brother Jiu, I will hand over the intelligence work to the intelligence department of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces as soon as possible."

Upon learning that Gao Jiu was about to leave Luzon Island, Zhu Jianmin, Chen Yuqing, Li Mingquan and others suddenly felt very stressed. Although the northern part of Luzon Island is relatively stable, there are still many Japanese troops in the southern part of Luzon Island, and Luzon Island is surrounded by the sea, so the Japanese army may land in the northern part of Luzon Island at any time.

If Gao Jiu was not here, they would not feel at ease. After discussing, they came to see Gao Jiu and asked Gao Jiu to stay in Luzon for a longer time.

Gao Jiu knew the development of the situation of the Anti-Japanese War. The Japanese army has now begun to decline. It is basically impossible to increase troops to Luzon Island. Sooner or later, they will give up Luzon Island.

So Gao Jiu patiently persuaded them to build a base and train their troops. When the Japanese army abandoned Luzon, they could launch a large-scale attack, eliminate the pseudo-government in the southern part of Luzon, and liberate Luzon.

Gao Jiu talked about a lot of reasons from the international situation to the situation in Southeast Asia to reassure them. However, everyone was unsure and still begged Gao Jiu to stay.

Gao Jiu had difficulty convincing these people and felt a headache, so he had to ask Lin Yanni to collect some of the situations of the Japanese and puppet troops in southern Luzon to prove that his judgment was correct and thus eliminate everyone's doubts.

Before Zhu Jianmin and others could be convinced here, the Americans came to the door again.

The people came were George, Taylor and Columbia. George had a hot temper and came up to question Gao Jiu. He said, "Mr. Gao, have you agreed to rescue the prisoners of war who were imprisoned on Lushun Island? Now that the people have not been rescued, why do you leave?"

Gao Jiu said, "Didn't I tell you? It's not the time. Even if you go to rescue people, you can't bring them back. Think about it, the Japanese have strong mobility, whether on land, sea or in the air. They can intercept rescued prisoners of war at any time. At that time, what is waiting for them is massacre. You must wait until the Mid-American army has control over sea or air power before they can do this."

Columbia said: "We have contacted the US military and it won't take long to come to Luzon."

He said this in order to stabilize Gao Jiu. The US Navy just said that it was preparing to come to Luzon. As for when will it come? There was no accurate letter.

Gao Jiu certainly knew that the US army did not have the ability to counterattack the Philippines in 1943, so it was impossible to rely on the US army to rescue these American prisoners of war this year.

Gao Jiu said: "Since that's the case, then wait until your American navy can gain sea control in the Philippines and we will start to take action."

George said anxiously: "Who knows when the navy will arrive here? Those prisoners of war are suffering in prison camps now, and people die every day. How can we wait until the American Navy comes here to save them? You are shirking responsibility. We Americans and you Chinese are comrades in the Allies, and you cannot save them."

Taylor could understand Gao Jiu's difficulties. He said, "Mr. Gao, I know this is difficult, but I still hope you can lend a helping hand."

Gao Jiu said: "I understand your feelings, so I will consider this matter again."

The Americans had no idea what to do and didn't know how to persuade Gao Jiu again, so they had to leave.

When he returned to his residence, George was still angry and said that Gao Jiu was irresponsible.

Columbia originally wanted to be foolish with Gao Jiu, but Gao Jiu rebeled on Yijun, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Perhaps he was also a special forces soldier, Taylor seemed to have a deeper understanding of Gao Jiu. The situation on Luzon has undergone tremendous changes under Gao Jiu's hostage these days. Taylor still admires Gao Jiu very much. He carefully studied every battle commanded by Gao Jiu, believing that Gao Jiu is a meticulous person with a view of the overall situation, and he believes that Gao Jiu is also a person who keeps his promises.

Gao Jiu had already said last time that he would find a way to rescue these American prisoners of war, but now he suddenly changed his mind. He always felt that he couldn't figure out some things in the middle. But he still thought that Gao Jiu was willing to help save people, as if something was hidden in it.

Taylor was a pure soldier after all, and the Americans' way of thinking was different from that of the Chinese, so he could not make accurate judgments for the time being.

He said: "I think Mr. Gao agreed to save people. Why did he suddenly change his mind? We might as well ask these important people for advice."

George and Columb agreed with Taylor, so they came to find the five important Americans.

Among these five Americans were politicians and businessmen, and their social experience was much richer than those of these soldiers. After simple analysis and discussion, the conclusion was quickly drawn. Gao Jiu was willing to save people, and he must have the ability to rescue those American prisoners of war. The reason why he suddenly changed his mind was to put forward conditions.

So, they decided to send a politician from a businessman to negotiate with Gao Jiu.

These Americans have made no mistake in their analysis. Gao Jiu did not see the American prisoners of war being detained and not rescued. However, he knew the Americans too well. Americans always put interests first in their work, and they used people forward and not backward. When interests are consistent, they would cooperate with you, have different interests, or in other words, they would think you are useless and would immediately turn against you.

Therefore, Gao Jiu wanted to take advantage of the actual situation that the Americans wanted to do so and negotiate with them.

Gao Jiu is not short of money or technology now, but he lacks one thing, that is, advanced machine tools and equipment.

The Americans have strict control in this regard. A considerable number of the machine tool equipment purchased in the Golden Triangle region were from World War I or before the beginning of World War II. Gao Jiu could not buy new machine tool equipment at all. Even if the Americans invested and built many factories in the Golden Triangle region, they still firmly controlled the advanced machine tool equipment, and Gao Jiu could not do it.

Although Gao Jiu has drawings of machine tool equipment, an advanced machine tool equipment requires dozens or even hundreds of parts. With the current industrial strength of the Golden Triangle, it cannot be fully produced.

Gao Jiu wanted to seize this opportunity and let the Americans agree to sell him advanced machine tool equipment, and asked them to invest in and build a production factory for advanced machine tool equipment in the Golden Triangle region.

Gao Jiu came to Luzon Island this time and rescued those important American figures. Although the Americans expressed gratitude and said that they would definitely give Gao Jiu back in the future, they may not get the reward or the share he deserved in the future. He must take advantage of the fact that the Americans have something to ask for and achieve the goal they want to achieve.

The negotiators sent by the Americans were not only members of Congress, but also business leaders. His name was Miller, and he was a famous American machinery manufacturer.

After meeting Gao Jiu, he said straight to the point: "Mr. Gao, you have helped us Americans this time, and the Americans, including me, all express my sincere gratitude to you. Mr. Gao, you are a pragmatic person, and we Americans are also pragmatic people. What are your conditions for rescuing those American prisoners of war? You can raise it directly."

Gao Jiu has already learned about these five Americans through various channels. The reason why Gao Jiu performed this way is because he knows the conditions he wants to offer, and through the influence of these Americans, he can help him achieve it.

Miller himself is a machinery manufacturer, and he has a company that produces advanced machine tool equipment, so he talked with Miller about his request.

Miller is part of the military-industrial complex, the largest interest group in the United States, and has a high influence in both the United States' military and political affairs. He himself masters the production of machine tool equipment and is fully capable of helping Gao Jiu achieve his goals.

He said: "Mr. Gao, the United States has strict regulations. The Ministry of Military Industry and the Ministry of Commerce have both legislation. At this stage, it is prohibited to export advanced machine tool equipment. However, you can find a way to sell you some scrapped machine tool equipment."

If ordinary people heard him say this, they would be furious. However, Gao Jiu is a person with high emotional intelligence. He knew that Miller would not joke with him. The scrapped equipment he mentioned must be in quotes.

He smiled and said, "Okay! What are you going to do specifically?"

Miller said: "New machine tool equipment from manufacturers is not allowed to be sold to the outside world. However, when the machine tool equipment is sold to American manufacturers, it will be eliminated due to various situations during use. The manufacturers can handle these eliminated machine tool equipment by themselves, and no one will pay attention to this matter. I heard that Mr. Gao, you have your own company in the United States, and you can buy some eliminated machine tool equipment like scrap. Of course, these equipment are actually brand new."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll buy some scraps."

Miller is a smart businessman. After discussing this with Gao Jiu, he said: "Mr. Gao, my company can produce a large number of pre-World War II machine tools. If you are interested, we can cooperate."

Gao Jiu was very interested in this because although many machine tool equipment in that period were not the most advanced, the performance was sufficient for most of the companies under Gao Jiu. Gao Jiu could also use these ready-made machine tool equipment to transform and update to improve their efficiency. Moreover, purchasing these machine tool equipment will not be restricted by the Ministry of Military Industry and Commerce of the United States, and the price is relatively cheap.

Miller sold machine tools and equipment to Gaojiu, which also made a lot of profits. The two sides hit it off. Gaojiu also proposed to ask Miller to invest in the construction of a machine tool equipment production factory in the North District of the Golden Triangle, and he did not require the production of the most advanced machine tool equipment.

This is of great benefit to improving the mechanical manufacturing capacity of the North District of the Golden Triangle, improving the industrial chain structure, increasing employment, and creating tax revenue. Gao Jiu said that he could also engage in a joint venture with Miller.

Miller agreed happily that he was very interested in Gao Jiu's business and technological capabilities. He said: "Mr. Gao, the US Military Industry Department sent a delegation to Chongqing to reach many cooperation projects with you. Last time I did not send a representative to attend this negotiation meeting, and I still regret it. I hope that in the future we can strengthen cooperation, put the advanced technologies and products you have mastered into practice, and give full play to the economic benefits it deserves."

Gao Jiu was also very happy. He said that after leaving Luzon, he would welcome Miller to visit the Golden Triangle.

Gao Jiu agreed to Miller that he would arrange for rescue of the Mid-American prisoners of war as soon as possible.

In this way, Gao Jiu used the Luzon Administrative Committee and the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces, including Lin Yanni. Of course, he would not do anything that harmed them, but just used them to create an atmosphere and put pressure on the Americans.

Now that Gao Jiu has achieved his goal, he sent a telegram to Xiao Yatong in the United States, asking her to contact the people arranged by Miller.

Although Gao Jiu reached an agreement with the Americans, he would not trust the Americans easily. He would wait until Xiao Yatong and the Americans put what he wanted into practice before starting to rescue American prisoners of war.

While waiting for Xiao Yatong's news, Gao Jiu guided the training troops of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces.

Not long after, Xiao Yatong sent a telegram.

When Jia Liu sent the telegram, Lin Yanni was in Gao Jiu's room. Gao Jiu learned that it was Xiao Yatong's telegram, and he said, "Girl, go and sort out a copy of the Japanese army's information these two days for me."

Lin Yanni agreed and walked out.

The reason why Gao Jiu spent her was because he knew that Xiao Yatong would definitely write some things that were not suitable for children on the telegram, and he didn't want Lin Yanni to feel uncomfortable after seeing it.

Xiao Yatong expressed her heart to Gao Jiu in the telegram. She missed Gao Jiu very much and hoped that Gao Jiu could go to the United States by taking advantage of the opportunity to rescue American prisoners of war this time.

In the telegram, she told the results of her negotiations with Miller's company that she could help purchase the machine tool equipment needed by Gaojiu through Miller's company in disguise, and would arrange for the US Air Force to transport it to the Golden Triangle.

Seeing that Gao Jiu had achieved his goal, he began to plan to rescue American prisoners of war.

Gao Jiu quickly formulated a detailed plan to rescue American prisoners of war. He did not disclose the details of the plan to George, Taylor and others. Their level was too low to make a decision.
