    There are not many documents related to the negotiations that the British have produced. They mainly include the following items, which can also be said to be the bottom line of the British.

    1. The issue of ownership of the Indochina Peninsula will be determined by agreement. The British side decided to give up its ownership of the Indochina Peninsula and recognize the current jurisdictional status of Tang Qiuli's army in the Indochina Peninsula.

    2. One-half of the land in East India is owned by Tang Qiuli. The two sides are bounded by the 93rd east longitude. To the east is the area under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Army, and to the west is the area under the jurisdiction of the British Empire. Each side has given up three  km width, as a buffer zone.

    3. Tang Qiuli¡¯s troops must withdraw from the current Central India and the areas to the west, and retreat to the east of the 93rd parallel.

    4. Tang Qiuli's troops should not be stationed in more than two divisions along the new border.

    5. General Tang Qiuli, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Civil Affairs Commission, should sign the relevant provisions of the above-mentioned agreement in a formal document and announce it to the world. He should also promise that there will be no overseas territories of the British Empire.  any ambition.

    6. After the negotiation agreement is signed, the two parties shall exchange prisoners of war and agree on war compensation issues based on the principle of reciprocity.

    These six items are quite clean and tidy. In the eyes of British Prime Minister Churchill and cabinet ministers, this is the final bottom line. Think about it, how much land the British Empire has lost, the entire Indochina Peninsula, half of East India, cut off the flesh,  Cutting naked flesh, if not forced by the situation, Churchill would not let Tang Qiuli take away even a stone.

    The end of the file.  The British also made a special statement.  This is the last concession of the British Empire. If you do not accept these terms, then the British Empire will not hesitate to use the strength of the whole country to fight against Tang Qiuli's army, even if the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed.

    According to the international practice of negotiation, Tang Qiuli should also have a similar document and propose his own relevant terms, and then.  The two parties sat together and argued and bargained fiercely like shrewd businessmen.  Strive for an outcome that is favorable to your side.

    Of course, the British very much hope that Tang Qiuli can do what they want. As long as this powerful Chinese can sit at the negotiating table, the reality of defeat on the battlefield will be downplayed invisibly, and the two sides will treat each other as almost equal.  status, within the limits demarcated by the British, and bargained for.

    and.  The basic text of this negotiation was drawn up under the auspices of British Foreign Secretary Charlie Brown. Their bottom line was not just this. The real bottom line was to give up the entire East India region.

    ??In the world, the British, who have been dominant for more than a hundred years, really know how to negotiate and can negotiate with minimal sacrifice.  In exchange for the maximum benefit, in other words, as little as possible, Tang Qiuli put forward the conditions for negotiation first.  It was also to prevent Tang Qiuli from opening his mouth and even follow basic routines.  Not caring anymore, the two sides talked within the circle designated by the British.

    Tang Qiuli saw through these little tricks at a glance. He couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. The British boss was used to it and had not yet understood the current situation. The Japanese Army's hundreds of thousands of troops had already reached the interior of India.  With New Delhi surrounded, as long as you are willing, the entire India and even the South Asian subcontinent is at your fingertips, which is a piece of cake.

    He was just considering the actual situation. With the current strength of the army, he could not swallow such a large piece of territory, and he also had to consider the impact on the world. As a result, the British thought they had an opportunity, and Tang Qiuli dared to conclude that  , this document was definitely not produced by the British Governor in India, Pajavasali. It should have been the idea of ??a senior official from London on the transport plane that made an emergency landing.

    The most ridiculous thing is that the exchange of prisoners of war based on the principle of reciprocity made Tang Qiuli dumbfounded. Have the British been sleepwalking?  Prisoners of war, there are hundreds of thousands of British and Indian prisoners of war in their hands, but the British don't even have a prisoner of war in the army. What can they give in exchange for reciprocity? Isn't this talking in sleep?

    Seeing Tang Qiuli laughing and shaking his head, Zhao Yuhe and Xiao Jinshan were very surprised, especially Xiao Jinshan, who perked up and said hurriedly: "Sir, are these the conditions put forward by the British? We can't  Accept, that¡¯s right, what else are you talking about? Fight! Just give the order to the troops of the New Delhi Campaign Command to completely occupy New Delhi within eight hours!¡±

    Tang Qiuli frowned and said to Xiao Jinshan as if giving a lesson: "Occupying New Delhi, which is equivalent to an undefended city, still takes so much effort? You know that fighting Jinshan, war is just a means, not the ultimate goal.  As a senior general, you should understand this. Don't think about fighting and killing all day long. When something happens, think more about, why are we fighting? Okay, go back and tell the British envoy Hewell, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock  Let¡¯s negotiate with the British right here in Aligarh!¡±

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Zhao Yuhe thought for a moment and said: "Commander, should we come up with our own terms immediately? Otherwise, we can only negotiate within the scope defined by the British, which will be very passive."  !¡±

    Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "Yuhe, negotiations require confidence and capital. Do you think the British have it now? Therefore, the initiative and scope of negotiations are not in their hands. If the differences are too big, the negotiations will break down."  , we continue to adopt an offensive posture, who will be more anxious? In the final analysis, we are not afraid of failure, and the negotiation results that both parties are satisfied with are on equal terms, do you understand? "

    Zhao Yuhe nodded thoughtfully. He roughly guessed the teacher's intention. Tomorrow's negotiation should be a wonderful performance. He was looking forward to that moment as soon as possible.

    Hewell returned to New Delhi happily with Tang Qiuli's reply. In the Governor's Mansion, the four officials were not sleepy at all. Others may not know much about the traps and tricks in the negotiation terms.  Foreign Secretary Charlie Brown, who was leading the matter, knew the secrets. Once Tang Qiuli saw through the links and became angry, Charlie Brown himself could not predict what serious consequences it would have.

    Therefore, the few people sitting in the luxuriously decorated living room, seemingly chatting casually, were all uneasy. Hewell walked into the living room excitedly, and the eyes of several officials were immediately aimed at  He seemed to want to read something from his face!

    Governor Pajevasali first asked eagerly: "How is the situation? How did Tang Qiuli respond? Did you accept the terms we proposed?"

    He asked a barrage of questions, looking at the eager-looking Governor-General, and several other big shots, stretching their necks and pricking up their ears to stare at him intently, as if his words could decide the life or death of these big shots, He  Will suddenly felt that he was very tall.

    Regardless of the looks of several senior officials who wanted to eat him, the old god took a sip of the coffee brought by the Indian servant, and Hewell said slowly: "Tang Qiuli's answer is, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock  The negotiations were held in Aligarh, and the Chinese did not raise any objections to the terms listed in our documents!¡±

    Thank God!  That hateful Chinese Tang Qiuli did not put forward unsatisfactory conditions, and was finally able to safeguard the interests of the British Empire at the minimum cost. The result was unexpectedly good, and several high-ranking officials held hands and celebrated with their faces full of joy.  Expressions of excitement and relief.

    Mr. Hewell, the chief secretary of the Governor's Office who has completed his historical mission, obviously has no value and is not worthy to stay here. Governor Pajvasali said unceremoniously: "Hewell, you have done a good job. Here  There¡¯s nothing else to do for you, go back and rest!¡± He gave the eviction order straightforwardly.

    After Hewell left in despair, Governor Pajevasali enthusiastically proposed, "Guys, in order for tomorrow's negotiation to succeed, that hateful Chinese Tang Qiuli and his soldiers should get out of India as soon as possible.  Land, should we celebrate in advance?¡±

    Regarding the proposal of Governor Pajasari, of course, a few people in a boulder in his heart would not oppose it. Therefore, in the past few days, the governor's palace, which was as depressed as the cemetery, floated with a wine fragrance.

    Early in the morning of May 26, the British negotiating delegation, consisting of more than a dozen cars, drove out of New Delhi and headed east. The Army Division encircling troops who had received the order had already drawn a route.  The sentries were cold and polite towards the British convoy, and did not show the slightest hostility. Even so, what they saw along the way, the morale, lineup, equipment and weapons of the ** division troops still made the British  Feeling great pressure.

    As the convoy entered the urban area of ??Aligarh, the orderly city order, city life as usual, the relaxed-looking citizens on the streets, and the patrols of the army passing by from time to time showed that this city under Chinese occupation  There was no turmoil or chaos in the city, which greatly disappointed these British people who were prepared to watch the Chinese jokes.

    Under the guidance of three military jeeps from the Ninth Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, the convoy of the British negotiating delegation stopped in front of an ordinary Indian house with a sign hanging at the door. As for the words on the sign, after being guided by a translator,  These British people knew that this was the headquarters of Tang Qiuli, who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops.

    It was too peaceful. On the left and right sides of the gate, there was a tall Chinese soldier. He was wearing a straight and neat military uniform, his eyes were unsquinting, and he was holding a gun in a military posture like a sculpture, making this ordinary private house solemn and solemn.  Solemn.

    The officers who were coming in and out did not even turn to look at the British. They were just existing in the air. Several British officials looked at each other in confusion. There was no atmosphere of negotiation between the two countries.

    It¡¯s not Tang Qiuli who hasBy snubbing himself, he gave the British Empire delegation a slap in the face. Several British officials who were originally in a good mood couldn't help but feel uneasy in their hearts.

    Just when they were thinking wildly, a young major general walked out of the yard
