Chapter 796 Unreliable Negotiations
Jiang Wenming stood there, staring at the setting sun, feeling extremely anxious.
He knew that time was running out and he had to come up with a way to rescue the hostages as soon as possible.
He turned his head and looked at Xiaoyun beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoyun, I will try to delay time first. You should contact your brother immediately. They are smart and will definitely come up with a good idea. If that doesn't work, we can use medicine."
Xiaoyun nodded, quickly took out her cell phone and called her brother.
Jiang Wenming took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then took out a tin horn from the space.
He shouted into the loudspeaker, "Little Japs, listen up! If you dare to touch a hair on their head, I will never let you go! I will not even let your ashes return to your hometown!"
His voice echoed in the empty space, carrying a hint of majesty and determination.
Jiang Wenming paused briefly before continuing, "However, if you release them now, we can forgive you and let you go on your own."
His tone softened slightly, but still contained a warning.
"Think carefully about it, our patience is limited!" Jiang Wenming emphasized at the end.
……
Just as Jiang Wenming was calling out, Jiang Jiyun had already successfully contacted his brother and briefly explained the situation.
After Jiang Jiyuan learned about it, he immediately contacted Captain Jian to tell him about his sister's situation. He rushed over with Xiaotian and Xiaowei without stopping.
When Jiang Jiyun hung up the phone and heard what his uncle said, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Why did her uncle's words sound like he was threatening those Japanese devils?
Isn't this a rebellion against Tian Gang? The hostages are still in their hands, and he is threatening them directly. Isn't he afraid that the devils will kill them in anger?
Jiang Jiyuan looked at his uncle with suspicion and asked in confusion, "Uncle! You're not negotiating at all, you're clearly threatening those devils! Your negotiation is unreliable!"
When Jiang Wenming heard his niece say this, he frowned slightly and pondered it in his heart.
He carefully recalled the conversation he had just had with the devils and felt that he had not said anything threatening. It was clearly those hateful devils who were using innocent civilians to threaten him.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side were also very confused.
They originally thought that as long as they used the Chinese people as hostages, the other side would definitely give up resistance in order to protect these so-called "useless people", just like before.
But they never expected that this trick would completely fail today.
And those common people who were crowded together felt disheartened after hearing the shouts from the people on the opposite side.
They originally still held on to a glimmer of hope, expecting these people to be able to rescue them from the dire straits.
However, it now seems that these people were just talking casually and did not care about their life or death at all.
Jiang Jiyun stepped forward, snatched the tin trumpet from Jiang Wenming's hand, and shouted at the enemy soldiers opposite: "Listen up, you little bastards! You are surrounded by us and there is no escape! If you know what's good for you, lay down your weapons and surrender. We treat prisoners well!"
"I promise, as long as you surrender, we will ensure that you can return home safely to meet your Emperor!"
Jiang Jiyun had a contemptuous smile on his face and spoke in a seemingly gentle manner, but he was secretly sneering in his heart, thinking about how to send these invaders to hell and let them meet their so-called Emperor.
At this moment, the devil who could speak Chinese suddenly spoke, with a hint of cunning in his voice: "Dear Eighth Route Army, we sincerely want to negotiate with you, but you don't seem to be showing enough sincerity!"
Jiang Jiyun's heart tightened, as she knew very well how cunning and cruel these devils were.
She was worried that if their demands were not met quickly, the Japanese might not hesitate to kill her as a warning to others.
Jiang Jiyun took a deep breath and responded calmly, "You are now surrounded by us. If you kill those unarmed civilians, you will definitely not survive. If you have any conditions, please tell us and we can discuss it."
While dealing with the Japanese, Jiang Jiyun closely observed the surrounding environment and wind direction.
She found that she and her uncle were at a disadvantage, which meant that even if they wanted to use smoke or other means to deal with the enemy, it would not work at all because the smoke could not float in the direction of the enemy.
When Jiang Jiyun heard the silence from the other side again, he felt like an ant on a hot pan, and was extremely anxious.
She observed anxiously while muttering to herself, "Where are my brother and the others? Why haven't they come yet? I can't do this either. I don't know how to negotiate. Will I make the Japanese so desperate that they'll do something desperate?"
Jiang Wenming was speechless when he saw Jiang Jiyun's expression.
He shook his head helplessly and said to Jiang Jiyun, "There are only two of us. How did we surround them? Will the Japanese believe you? They must be investigating your words now."
Jiang Jiyun felt a little embarrassed when his uncle said this.
Her face flushed, she lowered her head and muttered softly, "Uh! Didn't I just want to scare them?"
Jiang Jiyun looked around as he spoke.
Suddenly, her eyes were drawn to the billowing smoke in the distance.
She was so excited as if she had discovered a new world, and shouted excitedly: "Uncle, look, there is smoke coming out of several places over there, could it be done by my brothers?"
Jiang Wenming was originally flipping through the books in his space, trying to find out if there were any books on negotiation techniques.
When he heard Jiang Jiyun say that there was smoke somewhere, he immediately put away all the books again, then quickly lay down on the pile of sandbags, picked up the telescope, and looked in the direction of the smoke.
Seeing his uncle's quick movements, Jiang Jiyun quickly stuffed the loudspeaker into Jiang Wenming's hands and urged him, "Uncle, hurry up and speak to attract the Japanese's attention!"
Jiang Wenming took the tin loudspeaker and began to speak in his hometown dialect. After a while, he started to speak in the language he learned in Jiangsu Province and Shanghai.
Jiang Jiyuan and his men did find the upwind position and started to light fires and release explosives, just hoping to stun the Japanese before they could react.
Suddenly, Jiang Jiyun heard a man shouting, "Don't bother saving us. The devils have killed all the strong laborers in our village, leaving only us old people and women and children. We old people have lived enough, and there is no hope for women and children to survive. Open fire!"
