Boss: "Director Zhang, this is a Japanese major general, not a major, let alone a second lieutenant.

With Commander Yan's situation, he shouldn't just reward our Eighth Route Army with this little weapon and equipment, right?

You know, our Eighth Route Army suffered a lot of casualties in this battle. In addition, countless ammunition was lost."

Director Zhang: "Although your Eighth Route Army lost a lot of ammunition, it also captured a lot of trophies.

As for the equipment and military pay awarded by the boss, it is indeed a little less than the military achievements you have made.

But this is Chief Yan’s decision. I am humble and do not have the power to make the decision. I can only convey to you what Chief Yan said intact.”

Boss: "Oh? Really? Chief Yan really said that?"

Director Zhang raised his head and glanced at the boss, and suddenly felt like he was seeing through his mind, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "That's what Chief Yan indeed said, but I can make the decision without authorization and add another battalion to you.

Weapons and equipment and 10,000 silver dollars.”

Just now, I said that I am insignificant and do not have the power to make decisions, but now I can make decisions without authorization.

The boss obviously didn't believe the other party's lies, but he deliberately pretended to believe you and said: "Director Zhang, I'm very grateful that you violated Commander Yan's order and obtained another battalion of supplies for me, but this

Still a little missing.

The identity of this Japanese major general is not simple. He is not only the brigade commander of the Japanese 21st Brigade, but also the leader of this observation group. It can be said that he is the imperial envoy of Okamura Neji.

If I return him to Yoshio Shinozuka, I believe that this old devil will definitely be willing to bleed a lot, not to mention the weapons and equipment of a battalion, even the weapons and equipment of a brigade, this old devil will be willing to give him."

Hearing this, Director Zhang's expression suddenly became unnatural, and he said: "Boss, Yoshio Shinozuka is our biggest enemy in the World War II zone. How can you make a deal with him?"

Boss: "Our Eighth Route Army is still affiliated with the Second War Zone. Has the war zone commander replenished our battle losses and paid us military pay?"

"This..." Director Zhang was speechless for a moment.

The boss continued: "Director Zhang, it's not that I want to make a deal with Yoshio Shinozuka, but there is really no other way. Our Eighth Route Army is so poor that we can't get rid of the blame.

Moreover, if I give Yoshio Shinozuka a major general, it will not increase the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army much.

On the contrary, having a brigade of weapons and equipment has truly enhanced the strength of our Eighth Route Army.

It will also allow our Eighth Route Army to better fight the Japanese."

"..."

Director Zhang was at a loss for words again. It was true that no one was too poor to be poor to the Eighth Route Army. Otherwise, they would dare to sell anything if they were poor.

If the boss only wants weapons and equipment for one regiment, the worst he can do is not give any kickbacks. As long as he facilitates the matter, he will receive a commendation from Commander Yan after he returns.

But the enemy lion asked for a brigade of weapons and equipment, which made it difficult for him.

Director Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and told the bottom line given by Yan Laoxi: "Add another battalion's weapons and equipment, as well as 10,000 silver dollars, for a total of one regiment's weapons and equipment, and 30,000 silver dollars.

This is the biggest bottom line for me to be able to make my own decisions.”

The boss also saw that the weapons and equipment of a regiment should be Yan Laoxi's bottom line, but he did not intend to compromise on this, so he smiled and said: "Director Zhang, I am very grateful for your help and won for our Eighth Route Army.

The weapons and equipment of a battalion, but the weapons and equipment of this regiment are still a little lacking.

Since you don't have the power to make the decision, I would like to ask you to apply to Commander Yan again and say that I can hand over the other 6 Japanese colonels to the Commander's Department, but he must give me a brigade of weapons and equipment, and 60,000 soldiers.

Quick silver dollar.”

"This... okay, I'll try my best to fight for you."

Director Zhang hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to the boss's request, turned around and walked out the door.

…

Second Theater Command Chief's Department.

Yan Laoxi is waiting for news from the Eighth Route Army in his office.

At this time, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps trampling the ground with military boots outside the door.

Yan Laoxi subconsciously looked up and saw Zhang Riming walking to the door. Before the other party could speak, Yan Laoxi asked first, "Riming, how are you? Have Meng Ting and the Eighth Route Army negotiated?"

Looking at Yan Laoxi's expectant expression, Zhang Riming's expression changed, but he still answered truthfully: "No, Director Zhang said that the Eighth Route Army boss wants a brigade of weapons and equipment and 60,000 silver dollars, but he is willing to give the other

The six Japanese colonels were also handed over to the Chief's Department."

The status of the Japanese colonel officers is not low. If the national army captures a Japanese colonel, he will definitely be commended by the three armies immediately.

You can exchange it for a battalion of equipment casually.

However, if the opponent is the Eighth Route Army, the situation is different.

Moreover, all Yan Laoxi could think about at this time was the Japanese major generals, and he completely ignored these Japanese commanders.

After listening to Zhang Riming's words, Yan Laoxi's face immediately darkened, and he cursed: "Damn it! He is trying to take advantage of the situation, let's just have his dream, I don't want this Japanese major general anymore!"

Zhang Riming added: "Chief, Director Zhang also said that if you do not agree to the request of the Eighth Route Army boss, he will give this Japanese Major General to Yoshio Shinozuka to exchange weapons and equipment with him."

Yan Laoxi immediately became furious when he heard this: "What? After so many years of resistance against Japan, we finally captured a Japanese major general, and he wants to return him to the Japanese. What is he going to do? Is he going to collaborate with the enemy and treason?"

Zhang Riming lowered his head and stopped talking.

Strictly speaking, Yan Laoxi was a slap in the face of the boss, because according to international conventions, prisoners captured on the battlefield will generally be handed over to the other party.

Of course, it is not to give it to the other party for nothing, but to get corresponding benefits from the other party.

For example, exchanging prisoners of war is the most common method.

Of course, there are also exchanges of weapons, equipment, money and other materials.

The Jinsui Army did this before, and so did the Central Army, more than once.

Therefore, even if the boss exchanges weapons and equipment with Yoshio Shinozuka, it would not be a precedent set by him.

As for treason, let alone mention it.

After Yan Laoxi finished scolding, he seemed to feel a lot better. Then he sighed and said in a different voice: "Riming, go and reply to Meng Ting and say that I will give the Eighth Route Army at most one regiment plus one battalion of weapons and equipment, and 40,000 soldiers."

Silver dollars, but they must also hand over the six Japanese colonels to the theater commander's department.

If he still doesn't agree, then let him go to Yoshio Shinozuka to make a deal."

"yes!"

Zhang Riming made a promise and then turned around and left.
