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 in the face of new defeats.
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 a 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 materials that China urgently needs.
That's right, exchange.
A royal family, when their 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 we break through his psychological defense?
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 grudge 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 more coincidental, you know? You are a lieutenant colonel, which is equivalent to our lieutenant colonel in terms of military rank. However, I am a lieutenant colonel. Do you think this is too coincidental? "
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 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 twitched.
This is a result that even Meng Shaoyuan did not expect.
This shows that the psychological defense of this lieutenant is not strong and there is a breakthrough.
At this time, you must not show any emotional fluctuations. Instead, 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 Lieutenant Colonel subconsciously think that he and he were in the same group.
Anyone who is captured, 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 to 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 wonder, why should I, a Chinese, 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 do I have to put so much effort into learning 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, and may even become furious and scold the subject in person to tell him to open his eyes.
But for Meng Shaoyuan, just looking at the other person's closed eyes felt like 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 generals were captured at the same time. They have the same use value, that is, they can be used for propaganda by China.
Great victories, battles won, and so on. What happens after the promotion is over? You are nothing more than prisoners, but relatively high-level prisoners. Japan will secretly negotiate with China to seek conditions for China's release of you. If the son of an army general is worth two kilograms of pork, then the emperor's relative is worth the price of one 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.
The most important thing is that Lieutenant Colonel doesn't 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 negotiate with you. The Chinese will do it sooner or later." Know who you are. And I hope I can give you some advice.
Considering your current situation, seeking death is not the best option. People always have to return to their roots. Once an important person like you dies, the Chinese will bury your body like an ordinary dead person in a place that even they will soon forget. You cannot return to your place. His hometown cannot be buried like a dignified person. "
Okay, Lieutenant Colonel agreed with his statement.
The breach was 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 would he 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 make an issue of you.
You wonder why? A very simple truth 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 from the very beginning, the Chinese may be angry at you, but this will give the Japanese bargaining power. If you think about it carefully, it would be better to quote 10,000 and then increase it to 1 million. Or should I just quote one million and then gradually reduce 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 agree with what the other party 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 Lieutenant Colonel that committing suicide to serve the emperor, which the Japanese were proud of, actually meant little.
"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 the metaphors of 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 be able to live better and be more useful to Japan.
Meng Shaoyuan can be sure that at this point, the psychological defense of the lieutenant colonel should have been almost destroyed by his attack. The only thing left is to wait for the result.
"Water, give me some water."
