Chapter 368: I Don't Take Advantage

Yang Xingguo, who had experienced such negotiations more than once, was well aware of Matsumoto's purpose in doing so.

Ben had a confused expression, and Yang Xingguo was not angry.

Under Matsumoto's bewildered and stunned gaze, take back the list.

Then, as calmly as possible, he said, "Since that's the case, then we have nothing to talk about...... Matsumoto, you can go back, and by the way, tell you the commander-in-chief, when I have time, I will definitely take the troops to your rear to hunt......"

Threats, naked threats.

After Xingguo said this, he had a calm expression.

Matsumoto, who gritted his teeth with hatred, wanted to rush to Yang Xingguo and give Yang Xingguo a violent beating.

Lieutenant General Sakata on the side, all kinds of dissatisfaction and anger have been shown on his face.

His face was flushed, like a powder keg that could explode at any moment.

As soon as someone brings a Mars over, this powder keg will explode.

However, in order for the negotiations to continue, the two men quickly restrained their anger and dissatisfaction.

Especially Matsumoto, with one side of his face, hurriedly said: "

Commander Yang, please wait, I just think that the conditions you offered are too big, and they can be described as a lion's big mouth, even if we try our best, we can't meet your conditions......"

Yang Xingguo returned to his seat and asked, "Is it really much?"

I don't think ......"

"Do you know what the Russian army offered me in order to win me over?

Ben frowned more and more, Yang Xingguo didn't intend to give him too much time to breathe, and said directly to Zhou Zhongju beside him.

"Deputy Commander Zhou, you tell Lieutenant General Matsumoto.

Until now, the Russian army has tried to win us over.

How many things were given to us......"

Xingguo flashed his eyes to himself as he spoke, and Zhou Zhongju immediately stood up.

The heart comprehends God and says.

"In order to win us over, the Russian army has given us 30,000 rifles, 500 heavy machine guns, 200 light machine guns, 100 artillery pieces of various kinds, and all kinds of ammunition add up to more than 5 million rounds.

In addition, there are five million taels of silver and twenty million catties of grain......"

After Zhou Zhongju finished speaking, the Liaodong Army was on this side.

Except for Yang Xingguo's unwavering face and no change in his expression, several other people showed a stunned expression on their faces.

Because, every number that was said in the middle of the week was at least doubled.

And this is what Yang Xingguo wants, and from the shocked and skeptical gaze on Matsumoto's face, it can be seen that the data that Zhou Zhongju said has achieved the purpose that Yang Xingguo wants.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Matsumoto to be suspicious: "Impossible, absolutely impossible...... The Russian army will never give you so many weapons and ammunition......"

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied, "Nothing is impossible?"

"Without these weapons and ammunition.

How did the tens of thousands of troops of our Liaodong Army be formed.

Lieutenant General Matsumoto, you are a soldier and should know that on the battlefield not only a lot of ammunition is consumed, but also a lot of weapons.

"Tens of thousands of rifles used by our Liaodong Army.

Except for the battlefield capture, everything else was unconditionally given to us by the Russian army......"

"Not surprisingly, these days.

The Russian army will also send me at least 40,000 rifles and 4 million rounds of ammunition......"

Hearing this, Matsumoto already knows.

In order to win over the Liaodong Army, it provided a stable combat environment for more than 100,000 officers and men on the front line.

The Great Japanese Empire was bound to bleed profusely.

Now that the big picture has been decided.

What Matsumoto can do is to give the empire as much as possible in terms of details, as much as possible, and reduce losses.

Thinking of this, Matsumoto said directly: "Commander Yang, you want 40,000 rifles and 5 million rifle bullets in one bite, which is too much...... Even if we agree, we won't be able to take it out......"

"If you don't say 40,000 rifles, it's 10,000, and we can't get them.

You should know the specific reason Commander Yang best, so please ask Commander Yang to change the 40,000 rifles to 10,000, so that we can make up for them after we draw some from the front-line troops.

"No, not a single one!

Yang Xingguo refused without thinking about it.

Ben's face instantly became embarrassed, and Yang Xingguo's tone changed, and he asked under Matsumoto's incomprehensible gaze.

I want to know, the price at which a rifle of your army was sold to our court?

“”

Sixty taels of silver and a rifle ......," Matsumoto replied with a gloomy face.

"The price is too high, it's blackmail...... I like ...... though."

Yang Xingguo replied very unexpectedly.

Then, without giving Matsumoto any time to think, he continued.

"A rifle is sixty taels of silver, and forty thousand rifles are two million and four hundred thousand taels of silver. Since you can't get so many rifles, then give us two million taels of silver and five million rounds of ammunition......" Matsumoto was stunned suddenly, and subconsciously retorted: "It can't be counted like this, none of the rifles we sold to your court brought a hundred rounds of ammunition to ......" Yang Xingguo seemed to have been prepared, and replied to Matsumoto very quickly: "In this case, I won't take advantage of you, and five million rounds of ammunition will become one million." Within five days, send me 2,400,000 taels of silver and 1 million rounds of ammunition, even if this item is revealed......" It was only then that Matsumoto reacted and knew that he had fallen into Yang Xingguo's trap. It is true that the rifles sold by Japan to the imperial court are at this price, but the cost of the same rifle produced in China is less than fifteen taels of silver. In other words, if he agrees to Yang Xingguo's conditions, it means that Japan will have to pay a full 160,000 rifles. However, in the face of Yang Xingguo, who did not let go, Matsumoto, who had to win over the Liaodong Army, could only choose to compromise. However, in order to alleviate the losses of the empire as much as possible, without affecting the combat effectiveness of the troops, Matsumoto decisively decided: "10,000 rifles, 2 million rounds of ammunition, 1.8 million taels of silver......" "You can ......" Yang Xingguo replied very briskly. As soon as the negotiations began, he lost a game. Although Matsumoto is not a real negotiator, he is very clear about some of the principles and techniques of negotiation. If the negotiations continue to continue, you will definitely be in a passive and unfavorable state. In order to prevent this from happening, Matsumoto decisively called off the negotiations. Ben and Sakata, two Japanese, left the conference room with their heads bowed and heavy faces. Before Yang Xingguo had time to be happy, Zhou Zhongju on the side shouted excitedly. "It's done, it's really done. 1,800,000 taels of silver, saving a little, enough for our Liaodong army for three months. I really didn't expect that the Japanese would agree to the commander of your lion and open his mouth......" The Japanese agreed so readily, which was also unexpected by Yang Xingguo. However, this also confirms his own inference about the current situation of the Japanese. After losing two divisions and Fengcheng, the Japanese army was already weaker than Lao Maozi in terms of troops and material reserves. Under such circumstances, the Japanese could only concentrate all their forces and materials to deal with Lao Maozi. If they could not stabilize themselves, then the Japanese army, which had limited troops, would likely be defeated. When the time comes, the Japanese will not only lose hope, but also more than 100,000 elites from the front. In front of more than 100,000 elites, these silver and rifles are obviously nothing.
