When Jiang Changli first arrived at Shenpu, he indeed took the initiative.
At that time, he could advance to attack, retreat to defend, and surrender to Wang Puppet must have sufficient benefits. Otherwise, he might as well return to Taizhou as the deputy commander-in-chief of his Sulu-Wan guerrilla column.
With 7,000 troops in hand, no one from any force dared to provoke him easily.
Even the New Fourth Army, which launched the Battle of Huangqiao last year, had to show its favor to him first and obtain his neutral attitude before the New Fourth Army dared to attack Han Side's troops.
These conditions mentioned by Jiang Changli were already thought out before coming to Shenpu.
At that time, I wanted to show off the Japanese, and I also wanted to raise the price.
Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed. Shancheng already knew that he had come to Shenpu, and there was no way out. When he goes back, even if Chiang Kai-shek doesn't punish him, he will definitely be marginalized in the future. Who knows when, he will be used as cannon fodder and be digested on the battlefield.
He took the initiative to contact the Japanese and wanted to come here as soon as possible.
In order to rush for time, Lin Yinian could be lowered appropriately. Who would have thought that the price Xie Xuan gave was so low, what was the difference between sending him to a beggar?
Jiang Changli regretted that he had offended Xie Xuan with his words just to show off. Now Xie Xuan is negotiating on behalf of the Japanese and has lowered the conditions so low that he wants to continue to stay with the national army.
But Shancheng already knew the news and sent someone to contact him.
Yamashiro still wanted to persuade him to turn back. After all, he became a puppet soldier and was branded a traitor for his whole life. His ancestors could not hold their heads high for eighteen generations.
But Jiang Changli had made up his mind to surrender to the enemy. He just wanted to sell himself at a good price, so he firmly rejected the people in Shancheng.
Since you can't look back, you can only go to the dark side.
But Xie Xuan seemed to have blocked the road in front of him again. 100,000 rounds of ammunition and 100,000 yuan in military pay were not enough.
Jiang Changli glanced at Ueno Naomi next to him and said softly: "Mr. Xie, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
He regrets it now. If he had known that Xie Xuan had a good relationship with the Japanese and could negotiate with him on behalf of Japan, how could he have despised him in the first place?
Xie Xuan is here to protect him. If he can take the opportunity to build a good relationship with Xie Xuan, wouldn't he have an advantage in the current negotiation?
For the current plan, you can lower your profile, show your goodwill to Xie Xuan, and give him enough benefits, and maybe get some more benefits.
Xie Xuan shook his head: "This Miss Shang is not an outsider. If you have anything to say, you can say it in person."
Ueno Naomi is a member of the Mei Agency and represents the Japanese. How can we avoid her?
Even if Xie Xuan wanted her to avoid it, he would never bring it up.
But Naomi Ueno stood up on her own initiative: "No, you guys chat, I'll go to Xinxin Department Store to buy something."
Negotiation is inherently a game process. Judging from the current situation, Xie Xuan has taken the initiative.
Based on her understanding of Xie Xuan, Jiang Changli was completely under his control.
She knew Japan's bottom line, and Xie Xuan would definitely give her a surprise.
Naomi Ueno took the initiative to leave, so Xie Xuan naturally wouldn't stop her.
After she left, Jiang Changli immediately changed his face. He went to the room and took out a box of cigars, lit one for Xie Xuan himself, and said sincerely:
“Mr. You get a 10% share of any benefit.”
Xie Xuan enjoyed Jiang Changli's lighting service. After taking a puff of his cigar, he leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs, and said softly: "Shancheng already knows that you are coming to Shenpu, and the Japanese know that you can't go back. If you But come here, your troops will either be wiped out or annexed by others. If you only come here alone, not to mention ammunition and military pay, you will not be given your position. There is a prerequisite for the conditions I offer. You have 7,000 troops. , they must all come over.”
Jiang Changli immediately vowed: "My people are all fed with money. Only by following me can they have wine and meat. Don't worry, I guarantee that no one will be missing."
Xie Xuan squinted at Jiang Changli and said calmly: "Okay, I'll give you another chance to re-quote. Please tell me the minimum conditions and a real number."
Jiang Changli gritted his teeth and said thoughtfully: "Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether it's ammunition or not. The most important thing is money. For 7,000 people, do you need an average of 50 yuan per person?"
The conditions he proposed for the first time were indeed a bit excessive. 3 million rounds of ammunition, 100,000 rounds of artillery shells, plus mountain artillery and machine guns, the Japanese would definitely not give them.
As for the 5 million military salary, I also want to eat it up and become fat in one bite.
Xie Xuan said slowly: "350,000 military pay is not too much. Let's do this, I will give you 400,000, but you have to repay 800,000 to the outside world. As for ammunition, I will give you 300,000 rounds, but you have to repay 500,000. .”
Jiang Changli was stunned: "300,000 rounds of ammunition, 400,000 yuan in military pay?"
In his heart, he cursed Xie Xuan for not being a human being. Xie Xuan alone had to eat 200,000 rounds of ammunition and 400,000 yuan in military pay. Wouldn't he be desperate?
Xie Xuan's heart was even darker than his.
Xie Xuan said: "Don't think that I have taken so much money. I can't afford this money by myself. This is also to pave the way for you here. In the future, your road will be smooth. Are you worried about running out of ammunition and money?"
Jiang Changli asked: "Then I'll thank Mr. Xie first, but what will my path be like?"
Xie Xuan said: "After your army comes over, it may be reorganized, but it will not be broken up, and no one will be sent into your army. I will try my best to help you, for example, reorganize your army into a group army." , you will be the commander-in-chief."
Jiang Changli's face lit up and he asked, "Commander-in-chief of the group army? Is that a general?"
Xie Xuan said: "Of course, he must be a general."
The generals of the Nanjing government are not worthy. Jiang Changli is a small warlord with a mixed army. He is currently just a lieutenant general. Being able to become a general is his highest honor as a soldier.
Jiang Changli said: "If my troops can be reorganized into a group army and I serve as the commander-in-chief, this condition is still acceptable."
Although Xie Xuan took away 200,000 rounds of ammunition and 400,000 yuan in military pay, if the troops could be reorganized into a group army, this loss could be made up for in the future.
Xie Xuan said: "Okay, when do you think we can send a 'peaceful power supply' to Mr. Wang?"
Jiang Changli said: "The ammunition and money will be distributed immediately as soon as the ammunition and money are available."
Xie Xuan shook his head: "The ammunition and money will not be sent until power is sent."
Jiang Changli looked at Xie Xuan and asked, "Mr. Xie, can I believe you?"
Xie Xuan said: "Of course, you may not know who that person was just now? She is Japanese. She used to be in the Mei Agency, but now she is in the Supreme Military Advisory Group."
Jiang Changli said in surprise: "Ah! I really need to dig out my eyes."
