Yang Xingguo, who had experienced such negotiations more than once, was well aware of Matsumoto's purpose in doing so. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing Matsumoto's confused expression, 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 looking at Yang Xingguo after saying 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, his face turned sideways, and he 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 conditions offered to me by the Russian army in order to win me over?"

Seeing Matsumoto's deeper and deeper brows, 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 told Lieutenant General Matsumoto how many things the Russian army has given us in order to win us over so far......"

Seeing Yang Xingguo's eyes flashing to himself when he spoke, Zhou Zhongju immediately stood up and said in his heart.

"In order to win us over, the Russian army has given us 30,000 rifles and 500 heavy machine guns. Two hundred light machine guns, one hundred artillery pieces of various kinds, and all kinds of ammunition add up to more than five million rounds. In addition, there were five million taels of silver. 20 million catties of grain ......"

After Zhou Zhongju finished speaking, on the side of the Liaodong Army, 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 cited in midweek was at least doubled.

And this is what Yang Xingguo wants, and it can be seen from the shocked and skeptical look on Matsumoto's face 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 would our tens of thousands of troops in 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, in the next few days, the Russian army will send me at least 40,000 rifles and 4 million rounds of ammunition......"

Hearing this, Matsumoto already knew that in order to win over the Liaodong Army and provide a stable combat environment for more than 100,000 soldiers on the front line. The Great Japanese Empire was bound to bleed profusely.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, what Matsumoto can do is to give the empire as much as possible in terms of details and reduce losses.

Come to think of it. Matsumoto said directly: "Commander Yang, you need 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......"

"Not to mention 40,000 rifles. Even if it's 10,000, we can't get it. 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, I can't. Not a single one is missing! Yang Xingguo refused without thinking about it.

Seeing that Matsumoto's face instantly became embarrassed, 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...... However, I like ......" 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, give us two million four hundred thousand taels of silver and five million rounds of ammunition......"

Matsumoto was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously retorted: "It can't be counted like this, none of the rifles we sold to your court carried a hundred rounds of ammunition......"

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." In five days, send me 2,400,000 taels of silver and 1,000,000 rounds of ammunition, and this item will be revealed......"

It was only at this time 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, 1,800,000 taels of silver......"

"Yes......" Yang Xingguo replied very cheerfully.

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.

I saw Matsumoto and Sakata, two Japanese, leaving the conference room with their heads down 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 promise to command 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. (To be continued.) )
