Negotiations have begun.

The representatives of the negotiations were one side of the French Governor's Office represented by Thomas, the other side was the French army represented by Luca, the underground party in the Vietnamese region represented by Li Ganhong, and the Taohua Mountain guerrillas represented by Gao Jiu.

When the negotiations first began, Thomas was still very arrogant. He still had more than 30,000 French troops and nearly 200,000 Vietnamese minions, as well as most of Vietnam's relatively wealthy areas, and still had strong strength.

On one side of the joint delegation formed by Luka and others, there were only more than 7,000 French troops, more than 8,000 underground party guerrillas, and the guerrillas in Taohua Mountain Gaojiu. The economy in the northern Vietnam region was relatively backward and seemed to be very different in strength.

Thomas agreed to open the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway between the north and the south, but he asked Luca and others to not cross the actual control line of the north and the south. Second, taxes must be paid according to the tax amount previously stipulated. Third, all materials transiting from the south have the right of priority to refute.

Regarding Article 1, Luka and others agreed, but required both parties to abide by this provision and not to cross the line between each other.

For Article 2, the local governments in the jurisdiction of Luka and others had to pay taxes to the Governor's Office in the past. The French army led by Luka and others only collected security fees. Now, the local governments in the northern part of Vietnam have been controlled by Luka and the underground party guerrillas. They have to use these taxes to maintain the operation of their institutions. Of course, this part of the money can no longer be submitted to the Governor's Office in the French. Therefore, Luka and Li Ganhong disagree with this article.

As for Article 3, Thomas said that transit materials have priority right to buy, which is actually an excuse, that is, he can inspect or even detain materials that transit southern Vietnam, just give the price they think is appropriate.

This poses the greatest threat to Gao Jiu. Gao Jiu plans to use the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway to transport materials, mainly about strategic materials in war. These materials are the most in short supply and sensitive. He disagreed with the French to conduct inspections.

Not only did he disagree with Thomas and others for the inspection, but he also would not agree with Luca and others for the inspection. Gao Jiu firmly opposed this.

The negotiations on the first morning of the morning only reached the disputes arising from Article 1, Article 2 and Article 3, which made the negotiations deadlock and everyone parted in disagreement.

Thomas believed that he was strong, so he decided to make a fight to promote the talks, so he dispatched a regiment of French troops and two regiments of the minion army to launch a symbolic attack on the northern part of Vietnam.

The troops stopped moving forward 5 kilometers across the border and built fortifications on site. Only when he made an agreement according to his ideas could the French army retreat to the area south of the actual control line stipulated by both sides.

This is a naked threat that forces the joint delegation to agree to the request of the French Presidential Palace.

This method is the usual despicable behavior of Western powers. It has been tried and done for hundreds of years and has been very skillful. Nowadays, this method is what the United States plays all day long.

After receiving the telegram from the northern part of Vietnam, Luca was very angry, but after all, the strength of the north and the south was too great. He was a little worried and had the idea of ​​compromise. He wanted to agree to some of the conditions proposed by Thomas in exchange for the signing of the agreement.

Li Ganhong fought with the French for so many years, and they were always at a disadvantage, but they had never been afraid. He was very annoyed and said that he would no longer negotiate with the French and that the two sides would continue to fight. As for whether the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway could be smooth, he didn't want to talk.

The most annoying thing was Gao Jiu. He felt that Thomas was shameless. He knocked down the Japanese Consulate General in Saigon, putting pressure on Thomas. Unexpectedly, Thomas was so unconscious. He wanted to teach Thomas a lesson immediately. If it really didn't work, he killed him, the Governor General and the Governor's Office.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt a little afraid of being afraid of being a mouse.

Thomas is really not a completely brainless person. He also knows that Gao Jiu is very powerful and the underground guerrillas are not easy to mess with. However, he believes that he has an advantage in the local area. If Gao Jiu and others want to do business, they must go through the area he controls. Gao Jiu and others are definitely unwilling to continue fighting, resulting in the business being unable to proceed. He spoke out loudly, just to take the initiative and take more share in future economic interests.

He really grabbed Gao Jiu's life gate. Gao Jiu really didn't want to fall out with Thomas. Even if he killed Thomas, the French would send a new governor and the negotiations would have to be resumed. Gao Jiu didn't have much time and was involved in this dispute for a long time.

When Gao Jiu was feeling a headache, Frank quietly came to the door. Not only that, he also brought a French major general.

The French major general was named Mark, the commander of the French Vietnamese garrison. He was also Frank's distant uncle. After they explained their purpose, Gao Jiu and others couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It turned out that Mark and Thomas had always had conflicts, and he had been staring at the position of the governor Thomas.

Frank now admires Gao Jiu very much and is very close to him. He hopes to continue to cooperate with Gao Jiu. He recommends Gao Jiu in front of Mark, hoping that Mark can cooperate with Gao Jiu secretly and get rid of Thomas' control.

Gao Jiu and others defeated and forced the French army in the northern part of Vietnam, killed the Japanese Ninth Air Force, and kidnapped the Japanese Consulate General in Saigon. These things left a deep impression on Mark. He decided to cooperate with Gao Jiu to kill Thomas and replace him.

He said that as long as Gao Jiu helps him get rid of the conditions proposed by Thomas, Gao Jiu and others, he accepts them in full, and agrees to carry out normal economic and trade cooperation between the north and the south. He even agrees that the materials imported by Gao Jiu from abroad can be sold in southern Vietnam.

In this case, the materials smuggled by Gao Jiu can not only be sold in the domestic market and in the northern Vietnamese region, but now there is another southern Vietnam market, so he is of course very satisfied.

Gao Jiu immediately agreed to Mark and Frank's request, and he was responsible for killing Thomas.

Gao Jiu did it as soon as he said that, and led the Taohuashan Special Forces to the French Governor's Mansion that night.

The guards of the French Governor's Office have been secretly bribed by Frank, and the surrounding French troops obey Mark's orders, and no one comes to care about this matter.

Gao Jiu and others were as if they were in a state of no one, and directly killed Governor Thomas and robbed all the property he had plundered over the years.

In order to ensure that Mark could become the governor, Gao Jiu sent a telegram to the French government of Visi, warning them not to send new governors over and kill one.

Facing the bandit Gao Jiu, the French Vichy government was helpless. They did not dare to continue to send a governor here. Even if they appointed a new governor, no one dared to come to Saigon to take office. Therefore, the French Vichy government had to appoint Mark as governor in the Vietnamese colony.

Mark was very happy and praised Gao Jiu as his closest friend. Frank was even happier. Because he made great contributions to Mark, Mark appointed him as commander of the Saigon Military Region and was directly promoted to colonel.

Now, Frank's goal of getting promoted and making money has been achieved. He now thinks that Gao Jiu is his own father. He decided to hold Gao Jiu's super thick leg tightly. As long as Gao Jiu supports him, no one dares to cause trouble. Frank is very attentive to Gao Jiu and tries every means to please Gao Jiu.

The next negotiations were much simpler. The two sides had a meal together and signed an agreement.

Mark also felt that Gao Jiu was very close. In addition to the conditions he had agreed to, he also agreed to allow Gao Jiu to set up a commercial institution in Saigon.

Not only that, Mark also promised that Gao Jiu could use it at will to smuggle materials. Of course, Mark had to be paid corresponding rewards.

This greatly facilitated Gao Jiu because the French Vichy government had established formal diplomatic relations with the Japanese government and the pseudo-government of Nanjing. Gao Jiu could use the French navy to conduct smuggling activities in various ports in the Japanese occupied area.

When he returned to his residence, Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Long Yingyuan, asking him to send people to Hanoi and Saigon to set up commercial institutions respectively.

Long Yingyuan was very excited to see Gao Jiu expanding the entire Vietnamese market and immediately deployed his business layout in Vietnam.

A great figure in the National Government learned that Gao Jiu had opened the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and was able to import a large number of Ukrainian strategic materials for the National Government. He praised Gao Jiu Da, saying that he had made indelible contributions to China's anti-Japanese cause.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Xiao Yatong, asking her to purchase a large amount of strategic materials from the United States and transport them to Vietnam.

With the good thing of getting rich, Gao Jiu did not forget Li Sasha in Hong Kong. He told Li Sasha to ask her family to quickly purchase a large amount of supplies from the UK and the British colonies and transport them to Vietnam.

Gao Jiu wanted to make a fortune by taking advantage of the period before the outbreak of the Pacific War.

Li Shasha was naturally very happy when she saw Gao Jiu thinking about her, so she handed over this matter to her half-brother who was determined to make a fortune.

After dealing with the Vietnamese affairs, Gao Jiu was about to leave. He remembered what he promised President Fujiwara and decided to go back to Shandong first.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram to the boss of the Military Control Commission, asking him to take out the inventory of the China Reserve Coupons and transport it directly to Saigon by plane. Gao Jiu loaded the China Reserve Coupons on a large French frigate. Long Yingyuan, who had arrived, also urgently purchased a batch of rubber from Vietnam and loaded two full cargo ships. Gao Jiu took the Taohuashan Special Forces to escort to Qingdao.

Wang Zhengkui and the members of the Taohuashan Special Forces sailed on the sea for the first time. At the beginning, these guys looked at the vast sea, the flying seagulls, the blue sky and white clouds, and were all very excited and felt refreshed. But not long after, these guys regretted it.

The storm and waves on the sea made these guys suffer all the hardships, and they were spitting out all the bitter galls.

Gao Jiu was very happy about this because the Taohuashan guerrillas lacked experience in maritime combat, so he deliberately wanted to take this opportunity to cultivate the Taohuashan guerrillas' combat capabilities at sea.

After a long voyage, Wang Zhankui and others gradually adapted to life at sea. Later, they were able to carry out various tactical training on the warships.

On that day, Gao Jiu and others came to Qingdao.

Li San, captain of the Qingdao Japanese Gendarmerie Detective Team, Bao Yuchun and others all came to the dock to greet them.

After receiving the telegram from Gao Jiu, President Fujiwara was very happy and had already sent Takahashi to Qingdao.

Takahashi also came to the dock to welcome Gao Jiu. He brought several freight trucks and loaded the entire 8 million yuan cash deposit coupons brought by Gao Jiu.

Takahashi brought two large suitcases to Gao Jiu, filled with colorful rice gold.

Gao Jiu had a big appetite this time, and he and President Fujiwara had already reached an agreement. President Fujiwara would eat all the heatstroke scrolls, and exchange Gao Jiu for Mi Jin at a price of 25%.

As for how to deal with this batch of Chinese potato coupons, President Fujiwara naturally has a solution, so there is no need to worry about Gao Jiu.

President Fujiwara was very happy and said that he had a very beautiful niece who was good at serving men. If Gao Jiu liked it, he could give it to Gao Jiu and let her serve Gao Jiu closely.

He was not interested in this Gao Jiu, but he still expressed his gratitude to President Fujiwara for his kindness.

The reason why President Fujiwara has invested so much is because he still has something to ask Gao Jiu for help.

It turned out that he heard the news that someone had set his sights on his position at the headquarters of Japan's Masaki Bank and thought of Jinan to replace him. Now, President Fujiwara is holding a golden rice bowl, and the ones in it are filled with diamonds, so he is of course not happy.

He can spend money to solve this problem through the power of the Fujiwara family. But he doesn't want to be so troublesome, because he knows that if someone who targets his position is settled, there will be others who will plot against his position.

He wanted to have a one-time solution, and Gao Jiu could only help with this matter.

Gao Jiu understood what he meant, just like dealing with Thomas, killing those who wanted to replace President Fujiwara.

In this way, no one dares to attack President Fujiwara again.

President Fujiwara has a good idea. Through the headquarters of the Makoto Bank, he learned that the person who was preparing to replace him was taking a three-person team to the Makoto Bank branch in Jinan to check President Fujiwara's accounts. They had already taken the Nishikyo Maruo fleet from Japan to Qingdao.

This matter was a slight effort for Gao Jiu. He was too lazy to do it himself, so he handed over this matter to Bao Yuchun, asking them to kill the Japanese directly in the name of Gao Jiu on the dock.

Gao Jiu's wealthy friend will never forget his friends. He handed over the two shipments of rubber transported to Li San, asking him and Captain Pingtian to handle the goods together and make money together.

Captain Hirata did not forget Guiwei Takazo's nephew Guiwei, and handed the goods to his Dongxiang Commercial Company.

Gao Jiu gave them a very low price, which made these Japanese devils make a lot of money.

Gao Jiu used these methods to pull more Japanese people into the water, causing huge internal losses to the Japanese war machine.
