The Japanese reacted as Zhou Cheng expected, but he was not worried at all.

The large-scale attack battle suddenly launched by the Eighth Route Army will become bigger and bigger, and the Japanese will gradually feel huge pressure.

If the National Rescue Army also joins the battle and makes a thrust into the slightest attack, the Japanese and puppet troops will be even more pressured. At that time, the Japanese will come to recruit the National Rescue Army and alleviate their military pressure.

So Zhou Cheng decided to eat the Japanese opposite and answered with no concern: "If the army does not agree with these two conditions, then there is no need for us to continue the negotiation. Deputy Commander Zheng, see off the guests immediately!"

"I heard that the Eighth Route Army is launching a raid on railways and highways. It is very large in scale. Let's study this battle carefully to see if there is any place to help, so as to ease the relationship between the two sides! If we fail to talk to the Japanese, it will definitely be better to have one more ally around us than to have one more opponent."

Zheng Yunshan heard Zhou Cheng's last two words for the Japanese. He threatened the Japanese with the reason for the attack and attack in front of him and forced them to agree with the two conditions just proposed. Otherwise, saving the country would probably start to lean towards the Eighth Route Army for the sake of the future.

The Japanese became anxious after hearing this.

The military headquarters gave him the task of reorganizing the National Rescue Army within three days, and then transferring all the troops surrounding the National Rescue Army to other battlefields, concentrating their forces to deal with the Eighth Route Army.

If the National Rescue Army is forced to the Eighth Route Army, the troops surrounding the National Rescue Army will not only not be able to be transferred, but may also face the risk of being killed by the National Rescue Army at any time, which will further intensify the pressure of the troops shortage faced by the Shanxi garrison. At that time, the commander of the army will definitely kill himself and take the blame.

He quickly shouted to Zhou Cheng: "Captain Zhou, I didn't say I didn't agree with the two conditions you just raised. I just felt that you wanted too many things. Our First Army may not be able to take them out. I hope there will be less!"

"Now, other parts of the Zhengtai Railway have been attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and many railways have been destroyed. Even if the military department agrees with the conditions you just proposed, it will be difficult for us to deliver things to you through the railway!"

"And we are also worried that your army will go back on its word and turn against others after getting the benefits, and that will be a huge loss!"

The Japanese were thinking about ways to break the deadlock while talking, and by the way, they observed Zhou Cheng's reaction on his face.

Seeing Zhou Cheng's calm face, the Japanese could only continue to explain: "How about this! We will add two thousand mountain artillery shells and five car scrap steel. After the National Salvation Army is reorganized into the Imperial Army, we promise to deliver all the materials and shells that promised your army to your army within five days."

"Do you think our national rescue army is a fool?" Zhou Cheng retorted on the spot.

"After the troops are reorganized, if you do not fulfill your promise and go back on your word, we will not even have a place to reason, that would be a big loss."

"And the two thousand shells you proposed and the five-carat scrap steel were too small, which was too different from the conditions I proposed. I disagree!"

"A total of ten cars of scrap steel, two cars of scrap copper, and five thousand mountain artillery shells, not one of them can be missing."

"If you agree, we will continue to talk. If you don't agree, we won't talk."

"Chief of Staff, you will organize a few staff officers to study the Eighth Route Army's attack, see what aspects we can help the Eighth Route Army, and take the opportunity to ease the relationship between the two sides in case of emergency!"

Chen Zhengyu understood the gods in his heart: "Don't worry, commander, I will definitely make a combat plan within one day!"

The Japanese were also angry and asked in response to Zhou Cheng's gaze: "Captain Zhou, you are taking advantage of the danger and raising the price! Are you not afraid of angering us? After the National Rescue Army is reorganized into the Imperial Army, will we settle the score in the fall?"

"Of course I'm afraid!" Zhou Cheng said bluntly as an answer.

"But I believe more that the gun in my hand is as long as I have strong enough strength in my hand, even if you want to settle the score with me in the future, you must also consider it carefully."

"If I don't have the strength in my hands, after the troops are reorganized into the Imperial Army, I will become a fat sheep that can be slaughtered. You can kill me with just one word. No matter how you curry favor with your superiors, it will be useless."

"The Eighth Route Army suddenly launched this large-scale attack war. Your troops will definitely be under great pressure. If I don't take advantage of the situation now, I will further strengthen my strength. When the matter is over, the National Salvation Army will be reorganized into the Imperial Army, and the pressure of your troops will also be alleviated. If you want to get benefits from you, it will definitely be more difficult than climbing to the sky!"

Zhou Cheng said it too directly.

The meaning of the statement is very obvious: even if the National Salvation Army is reorganized into the Imperial Army, he will not fully trust the Japanese, but will believe in his own troops and strength.

If other Japanese people heard this, they would be very angry. They thought that Zhou Cheng was stingy and used the incorporation opportunity to expand his strength, but he did not really want to defect to the Japanese in his heart.

The Japanese who came to negotiate was a Chinese expert, and he didn't think so.

If he was put in Zhou Cheng's position, he would definitely do this, otherwise he would be too stupid.

Those who have been adapted by the Imperial Army and feel that they have found a big backer and have no worries for the rest of their lives will almost never end up well.

For the military headquarters, a Chinese person is valuable and can bring benefits to the military headquarters, so he will use him and constantly use high officials and generous salaries to win him over.

If this person is worthless and has no troops in his hands that the military headquarters wants to win over and recruit, the military headquarters will definitely kick it away...

Zhou Cheng obviously saw this, so he took advantage of the negotiation opportunity to spare no effort to gain benefits and increase his strength.

Even if the National Salvation Army is reorganized into the Imperial Army in the future, it will become a subordinate of the Japanese.

As long as the troops in his hands are still there and strong enough, the military headquarters will endure no matter how dissatisfied with him.

Because Zhou Cheng could defect to the Japanese in order to find a way out for the troops, and he might also betray the Japanese for certain interests in the future.

The key is that the First Army may not be able to maintain its strong combat power and deterrence, and suppress Zhou Cheng and dare not betray the Imperial Army. By the way, he used his high-ranking official Houlu to pull him and tie him to the chariot of the First Army.

Of course, if the National Salvation Army really betrays the Japanese in the future, the First Army will not suffer any losses.

On the surface, the First Army paid a huge price to recruit the National Rescue Army.

But for the First Army, as long as the National Salvation Army is reorganized, they can liberate the troops that surrounded the National Salvation Army, reinforce other battlefields, and ensure the safety of the Yangquan section and Pingding section of the Zhengtai Railway; they can also use the National Salvation Army to put some pressure on the Eighth Route Army and the Second World War Zone to alleviate the pressure on the frontline combat...

Therefore, the benefits of the First Army from this incorporation far exceeded the price paid for the recruitment of the National Rescue Army.

After listening to Zhou Cheng's showdown and the truth, the Japanese not only did not get angry, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

The more Zhou Cheng wants to gain benefits through negotiations and increase his strength, the more relieved the Japanese are.

Of course, if you convert your letter, you will not be less prepared. You will continue to ask in response to Zhou Cheng's gaze: "Since you are so persistent, then I will agree to your last two requests on behalf of the military headquarters."

"But for fairness, you also need to agree to our two conditions, so that we can give you weapons, ammunition and supplies with confidence, and don't worry about you going back on your word and turning your back on your word after getting the benefits!"

"You said!" Zhou Cheng asked directly.

Since it is a negotiation, both parties must have their own requirements and concerns. If they only allow themselves to make requests and others to make requests, the negotiation will definitely not continue, and the opponent will mistakenly think that they have ulterior motives.

"We promised that the materials, weapons and ammunition of your army must be sent in batches, and we cannot be given to you at one time!" The Japanese thought for a while and answered.

"Since you already know that the Eighth Route Army launched a large-scale attack war in North China, I won't hide it from you."

"Faced with this large-scale counterattack, the first round of troops was under great pressure."

"We have agreed to all the inclusion conditions proposed by your army, which is enough to show our greatest sincerity. Should your army also help us do something and show our sincerity?"

"Our idea is: after the agreement is reached, we will first send 20% of our weapons, ammunition and supplies to your army!"

"After receiving the east and west, your army immediately sent troops to threaten the surrounding Eighth Route Army bases, forcing them to dispatch troops to the aid bases, and alleviate the pressure on us to defend the railway line!"

"As long as the Eighth Route Army starts to call back the troops, we will immediately send 30% of the weapons, ammunition and supplies!"

"If your army can hold back the Eighth Route Army returning to the aid base, we will send another 30% of the weapons, ammunition and supplies."

"The remaining 20% ​​of the weapons, ammunition, materials and other troops are reorganized at one time!"

Zhou Cheng immediately asked: "You are sure that we only need to attack the Eighth Route Army, put pressure on them, force them to return to the aid base, and just don't fight with them!"

The Japanese nodded and explained: "Considering that the National Salvation Army had just accepted the adaptation and the morale of the army was in chaos, rash participation in the war may affect the stability of the troops. Therefore, the military decided to let the National Salvation Army integrate for a period of time before participating in the actual combat!"

Zhou Cheng felt that he had found another opportunity to blackmail the Japanese, and he answered confidently: "I have confidence in the troops under my opponent."

"After the troops were reorganized into the Imperial Army, some soldiers did not understand, but it was still okay to draw two or three thousand troops to participate in the battle."

"If I command the troops to the battlefield to help you kill some Eighth Route Army, can the military headquarters give us some rewards, benefits or something?"

The Japanese's eyes lit up, and Zhou Cheng would not have happened like this with him.

But he agreed with Zhou Cheng doing this in his heart.

Compared with forcing the Eighth Route Army to return to the aid base and fighting with the Eighth Route Army and killing some Eighth Route Army, the latter will definitely bring greater benefits to the military headquarters.

Moreover, doing so can further aggravate the conflict between the National Rescue Army and the Eighth Route Army, completely cut off the retreat route of the National Rescue Army to the Eighth Route Army. The military headquarters does not have to worry about the National Rescue Army going back to the Eighth Route Army.

Immediately answered: "Captain Zhou, don't worry, the military headquarters will definitely give you more rewards than the Second World War Zone."

"I will first give you a guaranteed reward: kill an Eighth Route Army, and the Imperial Army rewards ten oceans! If the Eighth Route Army in a company is killed in an established system, the military headquarters will reward one thousand oceans, and the Eighth Route Army in a established system will reward five thousand oceans; if your army can kill an Eighth Route Army in a established system, the military headquarters will reward you at least 20,000 oceans."

"But I guess the military headquarters will definitely give you more and less rewards in the end!"

After hearing this, Zhou Cheng's mouth was filled with joy and continued to ask: "What about the weapons and ammunition we consumed in battle?"

"You also know that we use Japanese equipment, and the Eighth Route Army almost all use 79 caliber weapons. The weapons and ammunition seized after killing the Eighth Route Army must not match us, and we don't like their weapons and ammunition!"

The Japanese blurted out: "Of course, we will add as much weapons and ammunition as your army loses. But in order to determine whether the Eighth Route Army killed by your army is true, and did not lie about the results of the war, defrauding commendations and weapons and ammunition, we must send people to the rescue army to confirm the results of the war!"

Zhou Zhike agreed: "It's okay to send people to save the national army, as long as he doesn't interfere with our command!"

"Then this matter is decided. As long as you agree to the last two conditions I have put forward, after we kill the Eighth Route Army, your army will agree to give us some compensation and rewards. I will immediately command the troops to attack the Eighth Route Army base!"

As soon as the Japanese left the command center with a satisfied smile, Tang Yufeng asked anxiously: "Captain, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Cheng was still immersed in the joy just now and was very happy to answer: "Of course, we are getting weapons and ammunition from the Japanese!"

"Old Tang, Chief of Staff, we have another channel to get high weapons and ammunition from the Japanese army. After doing this, it is okay to get back thousands of shells and hundreds of thousands of bullets!"

After hearing this, Tang Yufeng showed a worried expression: "Why do I think this matter is a bit unreliable!"

"If the Japanese find themselves fooled if they are not properly operated, not only will we not receive the rewards and weapons and ammunition promised by the Japanese, but we will even be affected by the benefits of the troops being adapted to the Imperial Army!"

"Captain, I think this matter is too mysterious."

"In order to successfully recruit us, the Japanese have already promised us enough benefits. We don't need to take risks anymore. We will get the negotiated benefits first. Don't have any accidents at that time, and finally you will lose your wife and your army!"

Chen Zhengyu obviously didn't want to continue taking risks, so he nodded immediately: "Captain, I agree with Deputy Chief Tang's idea!"

"The Japanese just said that they would send people to the national rescue army to count the results of the war. Since it was a war, there would definitely be corpses. Where can we find so many corpses to fool the Japanese!"

The smile on Zhou Cheng's face was slowly replaced by calmness. Looking at Tang Yufeng and Chen Zhengyu, he replied confidently: "The mountain man has his own tricks!"

"The old saying goes: I don't have that diamond diamond, and I dare to ask the Japanese for good, and I agree that they will send people to the national rescue army to determine the results, then I will have the confidence to fool them."

"This matter is decided. Old Tang, you will contact our old friends in a while. I heard that they will be expanded into an independent brigade soon. Tell them that we have a business that involves one or two thousand guns. I wonder if they are willing to cooperate with us!"
