When Xia Yang left the Eighth Route Army base, he also took someone with him, the former Mikasa Palace and now Tang Aihong.
The two of them took the same car and left the Eighth Route Army base area for Beiping City.
According to Xia Yang¡¯s plan and arrangement, he will contact the Japanese Kwantung Army via telegram and return Mikasa Palace to the Japanese army as a prisoner.
In exchange, the Japanese army needs to provide some weapons and equipment.
In the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army, a telegram was placed on the desk of the Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Yoshijiro Kozu.
Looking at the contents of the telegram, Meijiro Xiangzu frowned slightly and fell into thought.
"Are you sure it was the telegram sent by Xia Yang's Fourth Army?"
?? asked Meijiro Xiangzu.
"It has been confirmed, but we did not expect that Prince Mikasa Takahito, who has been judged as a missing person on the battlefield, was actually captured by the enemy and has been alive until now."
The intelligence officer opposite him said.
Putting the telegram on the table, Meijiro Xiangzu leaned back on his chair, and then said thoughtfully: "I think this matter is not that simple.
The enemy released a prisoner without any reason, and it was Prince Chongren. Such a very important prisoner must have some ulterior motive.
?Perhaps, this Prince Chongren is a fake? Or maybe there are other conspiracies hidden in it. "
From what Xiangzu Meijiro knows about Xia Yang, this person will definitely not be the one who suffers. Even if he makes less money, he feels that he has suffered a loss.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to send Prince Chongren here for nothing.
If the Kuomintang captured Prince Chongren, they would at least exchange him for some prisoners of the National Army.
Or it could be resources such as land.
While Meijiro Xiangzu was speculating on Xia Yang¡¯s purpose, another telegram was sent.
"The report is another telegram sent by the enemy. This telegram is the condition for the release of Prince Chongren.
If these conditions are not met, they will refuse to release Prince Chongren. "
Japanese intelligence personnel report.
Hearing this, Meijiro Xiangzu stood up and took the telegram.
Seeing the contents of the telegram, he slammed the table and said angrily: "As expected of you, Xia Yang, you actually want to use our prince in exchange for our weapons. It is simply unreasonable."
In the telegram, Xia Yang clearly stated the price for Mikasa Palace.
"There are three main conditions for our release of Prince Mikasa Takahito.
First, Japan needs to provide 100 trucks and 200 tons of gasoline.
Second, Japan needs to provide 10,000 rifles, 1,000 machine guns, and 2 million rounds of ammunition.
Third, Japan needs to provide at least fifty mortars with a caliber of 60 or more.
Only when three conditions are met will we release Prince Chongren. Otherwise, Prince Chongren may still need to enjoy the most basic humanitarian treatment on our side. "
In this telegram, in addition to asking for weapons.
The last paragraph contains an implicit threat to Japan.
The so-called "most basic humanitarian treatment" means that Prince Chongren can only ensure that he will not die of hunger when we are here. As for other treatment, we can only treat him as a human being.
To put it bluntly, Xia Yang is asking for a high price.
As for the price at which the two parties finally closed the deal, that is another matter.
"Then how should we deal with this matter? Should we conceal it? Or report the information to the emperor?"
The staff officer next to him asked.
"Xiangzu Meijiro thought for a while, and then said: "No, it cannot be submitted directly to the Emperor. We will report this matter to the base camp, and they will decide whether to report it to the Emperor."
After saying that, he asked people to forward the contents of these two telegrams to the Japanese base camp.
The Japanese army is located in the general headquarters in Kyoto, hidden deep in underground air defense fortifications.
Tojo Hideki looked at the two telegrams with uncertain eyes.
"I didn't expect that Prince Chongren would fall into Xia Yang's hands. This matter will be difficult to handle."
" Tojo Hideki said, stomping around the headquarters with his hands behind his back.
At this time, in front of him was the Japanese cabinet minister Sakyo Saburo.
His bodyHe is a little stooped and has silver hair, but he seems to be in good spirits.
"Should we report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Of course I need to report. During this period, His Majesty the Emperor has become much haggard due to the disappearance of Prince Takahito.
That was his biological brother after all, so it was impossible for him not to feel sad about this matter. "
Tojo Hideki said.
"But, this Xia Yang also asked us to hand over so many weapons to them.
Whether His Majesty the Emperor agrees is one thing. We have to give so many weapons to the enemy just to exchange for a prisoner. Is this really worth it? "
Sakyo Saburo hunched over and asked with deep eyes, "It would have been fine in other times, but now the war in the Pacific region is at a critical time. Originally, our weapons and ammunition were somewhat stretched, and we still have to mobilize so many weapons. , used to exchange prisoners, I think this matter needs to be reconsidered."
But Tojo Hideki shook his head and said: "Then you mean, we don't want Prince Takahito anymore?
?As if this matter never happened. Or even deceive His Majesty the Emperor? ? "
Sakyo Saburo hurriedly said: "Tojo-kun, you know, that's not what I meant.
It¡¯s just that there are many factors that need to be considered in this matter, and we need to consider it for the entire Japanese Empire. "
¡°I understand what you mean, but if this matter is publicized and we conceal it, how do you think His Majesty the Emperor would feel?
"If this incident spreads to the people, how disappointed will the people be for our military?"
You should know how popular His Majesty the Emperor is among the people.
His brother was captured by the enemy. What a shame.
What¡¯s even more humiliating is that we actually refused to let Prince Chongren return to Japan because we were reluctant to send some weapons. "
Sakyo Saburo looked at Tojo Hideki and said after a while: "Then what are you going to do?"
"We will do as the enemy says, but we can only hand over part of the weapon first. Only when Prince Chongren is released and we confirm his safety and health will we deliver the remaining weapons to the enemy."
Tojo Hideki said decisively.
¡°Then do we need to report this matter to the Emperor now?¡±
Sakyo Saburo asked.
"Report, I will go now." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
