Chapter 385 Weird Psychology
This guy actually understands Chinese!
Have you been pretending there before?
The information available now is that this person is relatively familiar with the Japanese Imperial Palace, understands Chinese, and does not think highly of Japanese civilians.
The identity must be more important, otherwise the Japanese army would not launch successive counterattacks for this person despite their new defeat.
Japanese royal family?
possible.
At least it has something to do with the royal family.
Many of the relatives of His Majesty the Emperor were sent to China during the Anti-Japanese War.
Each one has high utilization value.
A relative of the Japanese royal family not only has high political propaganda value, but can also be exchanged for a large amount of supplies that China urgently needs.
That's right, exchange.
A royal family, when its political propaganda value is exhausted, is no different from an ordinary prisoner.
Cashing it out is undoubtedly the best opportunity to squeeze out the last bit of value from it.
The problem now is to guess his true identity.
Which royal family is it?
In this regard, Meng Shaoyuan is also a complete layman.
Japan's royal family system is relatively large, and it is too difficult for a foreigner to fully grasp it.
How can I break through his psychological defense?
If you look at it from a normal perspective, people like this are not as fanatical as ordinary Japanese. When they were captured, they would only want to die and serve the emperor.
But what happens when this energy passes?
Will they, who have been pampered since childhood, gradually become afraid of their current situation?
possible.
Judging from the current situation, no matter what, it is worth trying.
"You see, there is no deep hatred between you and me."
Meng Shaoyuan spoke Japanese again. Using the native language of the other party could reduce the hostility of the other party to a certain extent: "You are an officer and need to be responsible for your own army and soldiers. I am also a soldier and I also need to obey my superiors.
Order. If we forget about these things, we might still be friends when there is no war.
Really, I'm not lying. I think fate arranged for us to meet here. What's even more coincidental, you know? You are a lieutenant colonel, which is equivalent to our lieutenant colonel in terms of military rank, but I am a lieutenant colonel.
School, do you think this is too much of a coincidence?"
What a coincidence!
Meng Shaoyuan was speaking forcefully.
Two people who are in hostile positions and hostile to each other must find a common ground if they want to get each other to speak.
The problem is that Meng Shaoyuan will not be able to find this common ground for a while.
Therefore, he used military rank as an excuse.
His eyelids moved.
This is a result that even Meng Shaoyuan did not expect.
This shows that the psychological defense of this lieutenant colonel is not strong and there is definitely a breakthrough.
At this time, you must not show any emotional fluctuations, but you must lure the other party to follow the direction you designed step by step.
Meng Shaoyuan still said in a calm voice: "I know that your identity is very important. In fact, not only I know, but the Chinese officers also know..."
He deliberately used "those" here, just to make the lieutenant colonel subconsciously think that he and he were in the same group.
Any captured person, no matter how strong he appears, is lonely inside. If they can meet a companion at this time, it will be a great support for them.
This is also the main reason why many prisoners of war, as long as they survive until the end of the war, often become very good friends after they are released.
The other party is seriously injured and has to resist physical pain and interrogation. This stage is when he is at his weakest and when he is most able to achieve a breakthrough.
Meng Shaoyuan began to induce him psychologically: "Think about it, why do those Chinese officers try their best to rescue you? Because they are sure that you are an important person... Those Chinese officers and their superiors are very sure of this...
And what I want to do is to protect you...
You may find it strange, why do I, a Chinese, want to protect you? You can imagine that I speak Japanese so fluently, and I have such a clear understanding of Japanese culture, customs, and customs. Why is this? Why should I protect you?
Spending so much effort to learn this..."
He was strongly hinting to Lieutenant Colonel that I am close to Japan and I like Japan, but because of my military status, I cannot say it publicly.
Lieutenant Colonel's eyebrows twitched again.
This is recognition of what you have said.
Anyone who keeps his or her eyes closed when facing an interrogation subject will become discouraged or even become furious and scold the interrogator in person to ask him to open his eyes.
But for Meng Shaoyuan, just looking at the other person's closed eyes felt as if he was having a conversation with himself.
"What kind of important person are you? I must tell you frankly. This is very important." Meng Shaoyuan was so "sincere": "Why do you say that? Let's assume that a relative of the emperor and a
The sons of the army general were captured at the same time. They have the same use value, that is, they can be used for propaganda by China.
Great victory, victory, and so on. What happens after the propaganda is over? They are nothing more than prisoners, but relatively high-level prisoners. The Japanese side will secretly negotiate with the Chinese side to seek conditions for their release. If the son of an army general is worth two
If it's a pound of pork, then the emperor's relatives are worth the price of a pig..."
At this time, Lieutenant Colonel's eyes showed a dramatic expression.
First, the muscles under his eyelids twitched rapidly. It was an outburst of anger. His Majesty's relative, the general's son, was compared to a pig.
But after the muscles under his eyelids twitched, his eyebrows actually moved.
That's recognition.
Although Meng Shaoyuan's metaphor is crude, it is very reasonable to use high-level captives to exchange something that the other party urgently needs to achieve the goals of both parties.
There was too much information brought to Meng Shaoyuan.
This lieutenant colonel must have a noble status, so he was so angry at himself for comparing him to a pig.
There is another point that is most important. Lieutenant Colonel does not want to be a prisoner all the time. He wants to be released. He agrees with the plan of exchanging himself for something.
Meng Shaoyuan was convinced: "So in this sense, whether you open your mouth or not has little impact on the Chinese people. I think the Japanese side will definitely send people to contact the Chinese side secretly, and we can negotiate with you. Sooner or later, the Chinese will do it."
Know who you are. And I hope I can give you some advice.
Judging from your current situation, seeking death is not the best choice. People always have to return to their roots. Once an important person like you dies, the Chinese will treat your body like an ordinary deceased person.
Buried in a place that even they will soon forget, you cannot return to your homeland and be buried like a dignified human being."
Okay, Lieutenant Colonel agreed with his statement.
The breach is being stretched wider and wider.
At this time, Meng Shaoyuan acted calmer and calmer: "You must cooperate with the Chinese people in treatment. You probably also know that the Chinese army is short of medicines, seriously short of them. Let them use the best medicines on you.
, In this way, a Chinese soldier will die in the future due to lack of medicinal materials. Isn't this your contribution to Japan?"
This is the most absurd, but also the most confusing sophistry.
Lieutenant Colonel really believed it.
Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "You can openly tell the Chinese who you are, it's not shameful. It's still the metaphor just now, assuming you are a relative of the emperor, you should enjoy everything in Japan, but you have no hesitation
He participated in the war and risked his life to fight the enemy. Even if he was captured, what was there to be ashamed of?
If you can be released, you can report everything you see here to the Japanese military so that they can fight the Chinese army more purposefully. Once the Chinese know your identity, they will definitely not neglect you.
They will try their best to keep you alive. The more generous you are in admitting your identity, the less likely it will be for the Chinese to use you as an article.
Are you wondering why this is? The simple reason is that the Chinese do not know your identity. Once they negotiate with the Japanese representative who rescues you, they will first tentatively quote a price to test Japan's bottom line.
As negotiations continue, their appetite will grow.
On the contrary, if they know your details as soon as they come up, the Chinese may be angry at you, but they will give the Japanese bargaining capital. If you think about it carefully, the offer is 10,000, and then increase it to 1 million.
Okay. Or is it better to quote one million and then gradually lower it to five hundred thousand? This is a very simple question."
This is also sophistry.
But Meng Shaoyuan had already laid the groundwork as soon as he came up, so that the lieutenant-commander would gradually recognize himself. Once the weak side and the strong side have a recognition mentality, they will also agree with what the other side says.
This is part of the psychology of "projection and identification".
Some psychology experts have summarized forty-eight examples in the "Identity" project, which is also called weird psychology.
Meng Shaoyuan used three of them:
“The best way to ruin a good song is to set it as your wake-up alarm.”
He told the lieutenant colonel that committing suicide to serve the emperor, which the Japanese were proud of, actually had little meaning.
"When two men chase a woman, the one who is more affectionate will give up first; when two women chase a man, the one who is more affectionate will give up first."
He kept using metaphors like relatives of the emperor and the son of an army general, which was a strong hint to Lieutenant Colonel that your status is more noble and you must survive.
"If you look in the mirror for a long time, you will find that you look strange in the mirror."
He instilled a belief in Lieutenant Colonel that your knowledge is wrong. If you do as I say, you will not only survive, but you will also live better and be more useful to Japan.
Meng Shaoyuan can be sure that at this point, the psychological defense of Lieutenant Colonel should have been almost destroyed by his attack. The only thing left is to wait for the result.
