The three parties were in the hallway, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone came to Ermed's office. Negotiations are ready to begin in earnest on the Ukrainian towing of the Varyag aircraft carrier through the Bosphorus in Turkey.

The Bosphorus Strait is the choke point of the Black Sea, and all ships in the Black Sea must pass through this section of the strait if they want to get out. The geographical location is very tricky, so that the Varyag aircraft carrier has no way to get around at all.

As soon as the diplomat Viecheslav took his seat, he couldn't wait to negotiate with the other party, "Hello, Prime Minister Ermad, I think you also know that the purpose of our visit is about ......."

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted very impolitely by Prime Minister Ermad, "Mr. Viecheslav, I think our Turkish government has made it very clear. Whether you can do it or not is a matter between you, and it has nothing to do with me Turkey. ”

Ermed's attitude was very fearless, and with the expression on his face, Ma Wei deeply felt the hatefulness of the other party.

However, this is a diplomatic occasion between countries, and Ma Wei is just a participant who resembles an observer. He is not a diplomat, nor is he a government official, and he cannot speak on behalf of the country. He still has this distinction between priority and subordination, and he won't talk nonsense.

Seeing that the other party was stubborn, the diplomat Viecheslav also had a tough attitude and said-for-tat, "But, Prime Minister Ermad, don't you think that these demands put forward by your government are too harsh and excessive?"

"With a $1 billion a day guarantee, plus so many flight suspensions, there is no other country in the world that has made such a demanding demand. ”

Before coming, Viecheslav received some information from the Russian government. That is, if the other party is willing to be reasonable, then everyone is reasonable. But if the other side is not willing to be reasonable, then the attitude can be tougher and put pressure on Turkey.

"Mr. Viecheslav, we, the Turkish government, do not mean to make things difficult for you, Russia and Ukraine. It's just that in the Montreux Convention, we clearly mentioned that if a non-littoral warship with a tonnage of more than 1.5 tons wants to pass through the Bosphorus, it must ask for our consent......"

Ermad said with a displeased expression. At the beginning, Turkey actually had such a treaty with the countries bordering the Black Sea, which was the Montreux Convention in 1936......

To put it simply, in peacetime, the passage of warships of non-littoral countries through the Turkish Straits is subject to certain restrictions. That is, the total tonnage of warships passing through during the same period shall not exceed 15,000 tons, and the total tonnage of ships staying in the Black Sea shall not exceed 30,000 tons, and the duration of stay shall not exceed 21 days;

The aircraft carrier Waglian, with a displacement of 67,000 tons, seriously exceeds the 30,000 tons of the Montreux Convention. Plus this is a ship for sale, which is already not owned by Ukraine.

Therefore, Turkey is holding on to this point and forcibly preventing it from passing. There is a kind of posture that is unforgiving.

Sometimes, the friction between countries is like a quarrel between ordinary people, which is very speechless. Obviously, it is convenient to let the Varyag aircraft carrier pass. But you have to deliberately find fault, hold a bunch of historical documents, and pull the pigtails of Russia and Ukraine......

Diplomats Viecheslav and Deputy Prime Minister Snezhna were speechless for a moment after hearing each other move out of the "Montreux Convention". This treaty was made more than 60 years ago. It's 2001 now, and that's a bit far-fetched.

"Prime Minister Ermad, do you Turkish government have to use the 65-year-old treaty to restrict us?" asked Viecheslav, in a slightly cold voice.

The two brothers in Ukraine and Russia, whose economies are so difficult, have finally received orders of billions of dollars. Before I had time to rejoice, I was deliberately shouted and provoked by those who sold ice cream in Turkey. Anyone else will be very unhappy.

"Mr. Viecheslav, this we, Turkey, are not aimed at you! It is this aircraft carrier Varyag, which is now not a ship of the countries bordering the Black Sea, and has a displacement of far more than three tons. We made it very clear in the Montreux Convention at the beginning! Your country has also signed it!" said Prime Minister Ermad, admitting death.

Anyway, they Turkey are holding on to this. I believe that with their current performance, they are all in the eyes of the European Union and other countries. Maybe then Turkey will join the EU because of its good performance, and hug its thighs.

So with the two brothers of Russia and Ukraine, he said it bluntly, and he had nothing to fear. Who called him this time, it really makes sense.

Hearing that the other party moved out again, the damn "Montreux Convention", Viecheslav's face was almost distorted. But there is no good way to fight back.

After all, they, Russia, can't rashly tear up the convention and break the agreement. Otherwise, this mistake will be a big one, and it will be easy for the EU to seize the handle. It is only possible to bypass the pressure exerted by the Convention......

When he saw the Russian diplomat, he was speechless for a while. So his expression became more and more proud, and he lowered his head and took a sip of tea. Obviously, he thought he had a reason, so he had the chance to win.

But just as he was halfway through the tea, he saw Ma Wei, who was sitting on the side and had not said a word, but suddenly said lightly, "According to the Montreux Convention, then if we Russia or Ukraine buy this Varyag aircraft carrier back." And then you Turkish government, there's no reason to stop it, right?"

Ma Wei's resounding voice just fell. I saw that Ai Ermed, who was halfway through the tea, suddenly coughed violently!

Sitting next to Mavi, Deputy Prime Minister Snerana and diplomat Viecheslav suddenly turned their heads to look at Mavi. From the eyes of the two, it can be seen that they were obviously amazed by Ma Wei's words just now!

"Eh, yes! How could I not have thought of such a simple thing? If the aircraft carrier was bought back, wouldn't it be called the damn Montreux Treaty, and it would be solved?" Vyčeslav, a diplomat, almost wanted to pat himself on the thigh in excitement.

No wonder the above, it is necessary to deliberately let Ma Wei, a non-government ** person, come over. It all makes sense!
