Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

"What does Minister Chen want to say?" Stuart's tone was very flat, and he didn't seem to have much interest in Chen Yang's proposal.

"Doctor, I can't give you the Philippines you want." Chen Yang spread his hands and said, "However, with my ability, I can give you a few people."

"How many people?" Stuart's eyes began to change.

"Yes, I have received information from Tokyo. On March 17, Japan will issue new military appointments."

"And the high-ranking military officers captured by Japan in Southeast Asia will also be sent to China via the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway."

"Among them are British Lieutenant General Bai Siyuan and Lieutenant General Wainwright, the commander-in-chief of the US-Philippines Joint Forces in the Philippines."

"If you are willing to sign, I can persuade Commander Terauchi to pardon five American generals including Lieutenant General Wainwright."

“Here’s what I’m proposing…”

"Are you willing to release Jonathan, Lieutenant General Wainwright?" Stuart seemed a little incredulous.

In previous history, Lieutenant General Wainwright can be said to have had a tragic fate.

Since the failure of the Philippine Campaign, he had been imprisoned by the Japanese in a concentration camp in China until he was rescued on June 1945, 6 by the Soviet army that defeated the Kwantung Army.

After he was released, he thought that the American people would despise him as a surrendered lieutenant general, but the fact was just the opposite.

The Americans treated him like a hero and, upon learning that he had been released from the concentration camp, they quickly sent someone to bring him back to the United States.

Later, as one of the representatives of the American surrender delegation, he boarded the USS Missouri at the Japanese surrender ceremony on September 1945, 9, and witnessed this historic moment with Admiral Mack.

At this time, Chen Yang's use of Lieutenant General Wainwright as a transaction condition had exceeded Stuart's plan.

Although he firmly asked the Japanese to abandon their attack on the Philippines, he was well aware that this was just wishful thinking on the part of the Americans.

The Japanese have spent so much time preparing for the battlefield in Southeast Asia, and now they have finally been able to completely control the situation in Southeast Asia.

Asking them to lay down their weapons and stop attacking at this time really sounds like a joke.

Chen Yang stood up and said, "Doctor, I believe I have brought enough sincerity to negotiate a deal with you."

"If you are still not satisfied with this condition, I don't think I can do much."

"You now have one day to consider..."

"No, no, no, Minister Chen, one day is too short." Stuart was a little anxious.

"I think you need to give me three days. I want to explain the situation to the mainland."

Chen Yang buttoned up his shirt and said, "Doctor, since the president has chosen you to be the commissioner, he has obviously given you some power."

"Three days is too long. I believe that neither the Jinling government nor the Japanese want you to waste time on this matter."

"Besides, this is just my personal proposal. The details still need to be reported to the dispatched army headquarters for approval."

"We all need time, one day, you only have one day."

"If I don't get your response before noon tomorrow, I will assume that you have given up the negotiation."

"I am not responsible for the following matters..."

"Doctor, I still have a lot of things to do in my department, so I'll take my leave now."

Stuart Leighton had never expected that Chen Yang would act so vigorously and decisively. He simply put forward one condition and asked Stuart Leighton to make a choice.

No, to be precise, he seemed to have no choice: either agree or go to war with the Japanese in advance.

Chen Yang was obviously very clear about the bottom line of both sides, and he also knew the gap between himself and elite scholars like Stuart.

If the two of them really had to sit down and negotiate slowly with references to classics, they would definitely be led by the other party.

Therefore, he could only use the simplest multiple-choice questions to force the other party to compromise and solve complex problems in the simplest way.

Stuart Leighton rubbed his eyebrows for no reason as he watched Chen Yang's receding figure.

"Doctor, how was your talk?" After a while, a gentle voice slowly sounded.

Stuart looked up and saw that the person coming was Clarence Gauss, the consul of the American Consulate in Shanghai.

"Mr. Gauss, this guy is quite interesting." Stuart smiled and said, "No wonder you reminded me to be careful of this opponent."

"I thought his information said he wasn't very knowledgeable. We can convince him with many reasons."

"Unexpectedly, he didn't give me a chance, but simplified a diplomatic issue into a multiple-choice question and gave it to me to choose."

"I have lived in China for most of my life, and I have always believed that the people here are naturally smart. However, I never thought that a young man who has not received much education could perform so well."

"If possible, I really want to introduce him to the teachers in our college and train him."

Gauss was a little surprised: "Doctor, you seem to be very optimistic about him?"

"It should be said that we appreciate it." Stuart said, "Let's not talk about this, Mr. Gauss, I think I need to seek advice from the headquarters. The other party promised to release five generals including Lieutenant General Wainwright in exchange for our signing the contract to cancel the concession."

"I think this price is enough..."

Shanghai Stock Exchange, Joint Transport Department.

Chen Yang soon received a call from Mr. Gauss, the consul of the American Consulate in Shanghai. In addition to releasing five American generals including Wainwright, the other party wanted another person.

That is the U.S. Consul General in the Philippines, Frank Lockhart.

This consul general was once the consul of the American Consulate in Shanghai. When the Battle of Shanghai broke out in 1937, he mediated the war between Japan and China on behalf of the United States and always stood on the side of the Chinese.

As a result, after the Japanese occupied Shanghai, they detained him on the grounds of destroying and slandering the image of the empire.

Later, through an exchange between Japan and the United States, he was transferred to the Philippines and served as Consul General.

This time the US-Philippines coalition was defeated and he was captured.

Chen Yang had never heard of this person, but since the other party agreed to sign the document, one more or one less would not mean much to him.

So he asked He Yuehua to send a telegram to the Philippines to see if there was such a person. If there was, he would bring him to China for exchange.

After finishing everything, Chen Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After going through a series of negotiations at the French Concession Municipal Council, the British Consulate and the American Consulate in Shanghai, Chen Yang finally realized what it means that a weak country has no diplomacy.

If he hadn't had the support of the Japanese, he would have been basically useless as the negotiating representative of Nanjing.

Look at Chu Minyi and look at Bao Wenyue.

When the foreign minister and the military minister went to negotiate, the other party was unwilling to even meet them.

But it was different when Chen Yang went there. People were willing to sit down and talk.

You think they are giving face to Chen Yang, but you are wrong, they are afraid of the Japanese behind Chen Yang...
