"The negotiation failed?"

"This is expected. If the agreement can be reached in the first negotiation, it means that our opponents are not so easy to deal with." Kenji Doihara sat on the sand, lit a cigar, took a sip, and said comfortably.

"That's right, what should I do next?"

"There is an old Chinese saying that if you don't do anything you want to others, changing prisoners is definitely not a good option for 'Yasha'. I roughly see their purpose from their reactions." Kenji Doihara looked confident.

"Oh?" Asakaguchi Hakuhiko reached out and touched his forehead. His movement has been a headache since he was injured on the "Zhengling Festival".

"They want to use our prisoners of war to exchange for food and other necessary daily necessities. Their purpose is to occupy Qinglong Mountain for a long time and fight against the empire for a long time. This is obviously very unfavorable to us." Kenji Doihara said slowly.

"Yes, it was only when we saw their idea that we came up with the strategy of using prisoners of war to exchange prisoners of war and forced them to agree to our conditions."

"The commander's plan is very clever. Although to some extent, it damaged the reputation of the 6th Army of the Empire, it also forced the other party to consider negotiating with us by exchanging prisoners of war." Kenji Doihara smiled, "This just confirms another old Chinese saying, which is burdened by its reputation."

"Yes, there are similar proverbs in our Japan"

"This shows that the commander is still very familiar with China. If the 'Yasha' is just an independent organization, then we cannot use this trick to force him to submit. At least he does not have to bear the pressure from the top, but only needs to bear the pressure of secular morality."

"Dohima-kun is right. Actually, this idea is not from me."

"Didn't the commander come up with it?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I thought about this method for a whole night before I decided to take the risk. Now it seems that the effect is pretty good."

"Then who did this method come from?" Kenji Doihara asked in surprise.

"It's Major Ikeda of the 16th Division!"

"Ikeda-kun?" Kenji Doihara showed a sudden look.

"That's right. He defeated Qinglong Mountain, and I ordered his position to be removed and sent someone to bring him there. Then he gave me such a suggestion."

"I didn't expect this to be the case."

"Do Hirahara Jun has the desire to cherish talent?"

"To be honest, yes, such talents should not be wasted in combat troops. They should be the chief staff, which is his ideal battlefield." Kenji Doihara said.

"I heard that the base camp intends to allow Doihara Jun to set up a strategic intelligence agency for China in Shanghai?"

"The Commander's information is so well-informed. However, this is just a suggestion. Whether it can be formed depends on the decision of the base camp. At present, I am just the commander of the 14th Division." Kenji Doihara did not deny it. In fact, he prefers to work in intelligence, which is more thrilling than doing real swords and guns on the battlefield.

"Well, when will the second round of negotiations start?"

"Although the first negotiation ended badly, I can see that. They did not completely refuse, so I can't think of it for long, and the second round of negotiations should come." Kenji Doihara said confidently.

"Okay, are we still taking the initiative this time?"

"No, this time they took the initiative. I think the news of the breakdown of the negotiations must be known by their commander at this moment." Kenji Doihara said.

"Didn't Chairman Jiang refuse to communicate directly with us?"

"The Chinese people are very good at face, and our Chairman Jiang is more face than anyone else. So, he found a high-sounding excuse for us, but there are still many people in their government who support the exchange of prisoners and negotiations. After all, this is beneficial or not!" Kenji Doihara smiled.

"I understand, I'm sure!"

"I want to have a good talk with Ikeda Jun. Commander, do you think it's OK?"

"This is no problem. He is your assistant now, but if you want to poach people, you have to pass the Nakajima-kun level. He also attaches great importance to Ikeda." Asakamiya Hirohiko smiled.

"Is that true?" A smile appeared on the corner of Kenji Doihara's mouth. How could he not be able to dig out the person he valued by Kenji Doihara?

Wuhan, Chairman Jiang’s official residence.

"Yaksha Telegram, the first round of negotiations failed, this is the minutes of the negotiation." Confidential secretary Mao Qingxiang handed over a telegram and placed it on Lao Jiang's desk.

"You go first, I'll call you if you have something to do." Old Jiang was reviewing a document, but did not immediately review the telegram, and ordered, "Please come with Mr. Bu Lei and Vice President Yue Jun."

"Yes!" Mao Qingxiang closed the folder and respectfully retreated.

After about ten minutes, Chen Bulei came over wearing black cloth cotton shoes and gray cloth cotton robe. The guard at the door opened the door directly for him and invited him in.

Chen Bulei is someone that Lao Chiang absolutely trusts, so, under normal circumstances, if he does not give special instructions, he can directly enter Lao Chiang's office.

"Mr. Bu Lei is here, wait a minute, Yue Jun will come here too."

"Okay, sir." Chen Bulei found a seat and sat down. This position was basically what he often sat, close to Lao Jiang's desk, trust and honor. It can be seen that it is generally.

"Mr. Bu Lei, look at this, Mao Qingxiang just sent it."

Chen Bulei stood up, walked forward, took the negotiation minutes, and read them carefully.

"Chairman, Zhang Yuejun is asking for a meeting!"

"Come in quickly!" Zhang Yuejun handed the coat to the guards outside, and walked in meticulously with his hair combed. Just in time, Chen Bulei finished reading the negotiation minutes in his hand.

"Hello Mr. Bu Lei!"

"Mr. Yue Jun." Chen Bulei stood up to greet him. Officer Zhang Yue was appointed as the vice president of the Executive Yuan and the chairman of Sichuan Province. He had an extraordinary relationship with Chiang Kai-shek.

Seeing Zhang Yuejun, Lao Jiang also put down the brush in his hand and stood up: "Yuejun is here, please sit down."

Without Chiang's instructions, the secretary brought in from the hot tea.

"I heard that your place is very lively?"

"Yes, for the sake of Han Xiangfang, many people have found me, hoping that I can say a few good words in front of the chairman and let him have a way out." Zhang Yuejun said with a wry smile.

"What are all?" Lao Jiang asked.

"Mr. He Siyuan, Mr. Liang Ming"

These are all outstanding figures in the education industry. They have worked in Shandong under the rule of Han Xiangfang. Mr. Liang is also a senator of national defense and has high social expectations.

Chiang was meditating and silent. The determination to kill Han Xiangfang was unchanged, and it would be useless for anyone to plead. At this time, if one does not kill one to warn a hundred, the situation would probably be even worse.

If you want to negotiate with Japan, you can discuss land cedes and compensation, but if you surrender to the Japanese and act as a puppet, he will definitely not be able to do it.

Now we have cedeed land and paid compensation. In the future, we can send troops to collect the country when the country is strong, but once we surrender to the Japanese, China will be gone. What else can we talk about the independence of the country and nation?

"Let's not talk about this, Yue Jun, look at this." Chiang Kai-shek took the negotiation minutes from Chen Bulei and handed them to Zhang Yue Jun.

"Is this the negotiation minutes between the Shanghai Expeditionary Force and the 'Yasha'?"

"Yes, I just came." Lao Jiang nodded.

Zhang Yuejun read it briefly and showed a little confusion: "One-on-one prisoner exchange is not a disadvantage for us. Why didn't Yasha agree?"

"You didn't see that the Japanese are setting up condoms for us?"

“Set a set?”

"The Japanese asked the 'Yasha' to provide a list of prisoners, which is impossible to do as many prisoners. I dare say that we don't know where the list comes from now. Even if we have some lists of prisoners, who will not change who will change who will be replaced, this is another huge question. And if the Japanese send them over, they will definitely not agree to it. At that time, they will do their tricks on the list, and there will be endless troubles in it!" Chen Bulei said, "Especially China and Japan are still in war. How should we deal with these people who have been exchanged, or not?"

"this"

"What should we do? Don't we change it?"

"It's not OK to change it. If we refuse to change prisoners, will the people agree? Will the captured relatives agree? Now everyone knows that there is such a chance to save their family members. I'm afraid that those related families are already moving up and down, hoping to add their relatives' names to the list of prisoners." Chen Bulei said.

"Yes, now the news of the prisoner replacement is full of news, and rumors have begun to spread below. What if the news of the breakdown of the negotiations spread?"

"Then why not draw a list, exchange people first, and then slowly identify them. Besides, the quota is limited, and you can only change a small part. This public can understand. Let's try our best to change more people?" Zhang Yuejun said.

"Who will draw the list and how many people will draw it?" Lao Jiang asked back.

"this"

"The Ministry of Military Affairs should have counted the list of missing and captured people."

"The question is how to get back to the 'Yasha' side. They have rejected the negotiations. If the negotiations are restarted, it would be like asking them to bow their heads to the Japanese?"

"Why is 'Yasha' so reckless? I wonder if this kind of thing cannot be eliminated?"

"They have their considerations. With this group of prisoners and hostages in hand, their situation will not be too bad. But once the prisoners are replaced and they have no substantial benefits, the situation will be even more difficult. They are in the enemy-occupied area and are in short supply of materials and supplies. They want to use Japanese prisoners to exchange for materials and food, so that they can have the ability to resist for a long time." Chen Bulei explained.

"Then you can consider withdrawing the 'Yasha'. We can agree to the Japanese to replace prisoners, but the condition for replacing prisoners is that they make way for a way to let the 'Yasha' and they retreat to our military defense zone."

"Brother Yue Jun, this is not easy. Once the Yasha withdraws from Qinglong Mountain for hundreds of miles of mountain road, it will be the meat on the Japanese chopping board. At that time, you will still be able to control whatever you want. Isn't the first time the Japanese did a treacherous thing?" Chen Bulei sighed.

It’s not that Zhang Yuejun didn’t know the huge risks here, but now they have been kidnapped, and even the European and American powers are secretly paying attention to this “capital replacement” incident.

The Japanese are good at turning black and white. The European and American powers pursued the ostrich policy. In addition, they were seeking Japan and secretly indulged them. What China can obtain internationally is three or two moral words without pain. (To be continued.)
