When the report sent by Fengtian City was sent to the capital quickly, Yang Xingguo, who was far away in Liaozhong, welcomed a very important guest, the chief of staff of the Japanese Manchurian Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As soon as Yang Xingguo released the news that the Japanese army could redeem the prisoners and weapons and equipment with silver, Dashan Yan, who was furious with the heavy losses of the troops, was immediately moved.

At the beginning, in order to deal with the Liaodong Army, Dashanyan specially placed the 100,000 elites with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Manchurian Army at the front, ready to counterattack the Liaodong Army at any time.

As for the forty or fifty thousand people who stayed behind, they were all troops that had been supplemented with a large number of new soldiers, and it was okay to fight the imperial court officers and soldiers, and if they really wanted to fight against the Liaodong Army, they were definitely not opponents. After all, the troops are mixed with a large number of new recruits, and without a period of running-in training, they will not be able to form combat effectiveness at all.

Dashan Yan is full of confidence in his own arrangement.

But what he didn't expect was that he hadn't attacked yet, and the Liaodong Army, whose strength was far inferior to his own, actually took the initiative to attack him, and he also beat his own troops and suffered heavy losses.

You must know that the nearly 50,000 elites lost on the front line are not recruits who have just been replenished by the country, but veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time and can directly become military Cao or even squad leader if they are sent to recruit units.

The loss of so many veterans at one time was a huge pressure not only on the Manchurian Army, but also on the entire Japanese army.

In order to win the Russo-Japanese War, the General Staff transferred almost all the units that could fight in the army to the Manchurian Army, hoping that through the Manchurian Army, the Japanese army would train a group of veterans who had experienced major wars, so that the Japanese army would have a group of military backbones who had seen blood in the next five, ten, or even twenty years.

But it backfired, and the Manchurian Army not only failed to train a large number of veterans, but instead consumed a large number of veterans on the battlefield.

As a result, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army for the next decade or even longer.

Therefore, after receiving the battle reports of the two armies, Dashanyan immediately issued an order: The logistics department was asked to treat the light and serious wounded who had retreated from the battlefield as much as possible at all costs.

In Dashanyan's eyes, every remaining veteran of the Manchurian Army is a treasure, and the more than 1,000 wounded lying in the field hospital are undoubtedly all precious veterans after recovery.

At this moment, the news that the Liaodong Army had more than 9,000 prisoners in its hands, including nearly 2,000 officers at all levels, directly spread to Dashanyan'er.

More than 9,000 prisoners, including 2,000 officers of all ranks, were able to form at least three divisions and regiments as the backbone of the three divisions and regiments in the hands of Dashan Yan.

In addition, the Liaodong Army released the wind, as long as he was willing to pay the silver, he could redeem these prisoners.

Oyama Iwa, who knew the importance of these veterans and officers, was moved at that time.

After a telegram was sent to the country, the country also agreed to redeem the captives if the conditions were suitable. Then they were sent directly back to the country, and with them as the backbone, three or four field divisions were reorganized.

Looking at the chief of staff of the Japanese Manchurian Army dressed as a businessman in front of him, Yang Xingguo did not show a little hatred of the two sides that were once enemies of life and death, as if welcoming guests from afar, and brought him into the conference room that had been prepared long ago.

As the chief of staff of the Manchurian Army, he still has a certain understanding of Chinese culture.

The chief of staff is still very clear about the truth of hiding a knife in a smile. I don't know why, as soon as I saw the smile on Yang Xingguo's face, the chief of staff thought of this sentence.

The Chief of Staff's face became solemn at this moment, and he realized that this negotiation must be difficult.

Sure enough, the two of them exchanged a few compliments before getting to the point.

Yang Xingguo did not say what he wanted, but in front of the chief of staff of the Japanese army, he recalculated the cost of veterans calculated for Sun Liechen.

After it was over, Yang Xingguo still had a smile on his face. And asked the chief of staff in front of him: "I don't know if my calculation just now is correct, whether it is exaggerated!" ”

Although the expression on the face of the chief of staff of the Japanese army did not change, a monstrous wave was set off in his heart.

He didn't expect that Yang Xingguo was not only so good at fighting, but also so good at negotiation, and so well prepared.

The cost of three hundred taels of silver for a veteran, even if the Liaodong Army does not want all of them, two hundred taels of silver must be indispensable. And at this price, it is far beyond the bottom line that Commander-in-Chief Dashan Yan explained to himself.

What's more, in the face of the high cost of three hundred taels of silver, he had no reason to refute it.

Thinking about it, beads of sweat the size of beans have been unconsciously flowing down from his forehead.

Yang Xingguo didn't care what the chief of staff of the Manchurian Army in front of him was thinking, with a smile on his face, he only stayed for a minute to let him digest the analysis he had just made, and then continued.

"I just said that ordinary veterans, the training cost of officers is definitely higher than that of veterans."

"I won't say it's high, two veterans are trained into one military cao, and two military caopersare are trained into a small team leader, and so it increases."

"In addition, I just said so much, and I still use silver to measure the training cost of a veteran. In addition to silver, there is another cost that cannot be ignored, and that is time and opportunity. ”

"Without enough training time and opportunities to go to the battlefield, a recruit will never become a veteran, let alone a qualified officer."

At this time, the chief of staff of the Manchurian Army could no longer suppress the tension in his heart, and after taking a deep breath, he asked with a solemn face: "Then how much price do we need to pay to redeem more than 9,000 prisoners?" ”

Yang Xingguo still had a smile on his face that barely changed much, as if he was talking about another trivial matter, and replied very easily: "I just said that I won't count the cost of time with you, more than 9,200 captives, you take 4.5 million taels of silver out, and I will return all of them to you." ”

"In addition, if you need it and can afford the money, we can also return all the weapons and equipment we have captured on the battlefield."

"No, it's impossible, this is simply blackmail, my Manchurian army will never give out so much silver!" The chief of staff's face was full of shock, and he shook his head at Yang Xingguo and exclaimed.

Yang Xingguo didn't get angry, but asked with a smile: "Then how much silver can you give?" ”

"A million taels of silver at most!" The chief of staff, who was forced to be anxious, was completely led by Yang Xingguo by the nose at this time, and Yang Xingguo subconsciously answered as soon as he asked.

Yang Xingguo replied without hesitation: "One million taels of silver? Yes, you send me the money, and I will give you four thousand captives!" ”
