Chapter 196: Negotiation on
|-> Chapter 196: Negotiating
In addition to Ulysses Monroe Polk, the host of the United States, the two giants of the Skull and Bones Society, the patriarch of the Morgan family, Josh Morgan, also rushed from London, and the patriarch of the Rockefeller family, Clark Rockefeller, also appeared in the White House.
Emperor, King of War, King of Side by Side.
Three-on-three.
They are all big people with a strong and powerful style, but compared with the Skull and Bones Society and the US government, the emperor's side is obviously more united, and the demands are more consistent.
Dinner is a standard state banquet, this is a courtesy to the emperor, monopolizing 70,000 square kilometers of land, with tens of thousands of soldiers, complete sea, land and air arms, with a unique administrative system, military system, economic system, special service system, belonging to the royal family of more than one million people, this is definitely not a simple overlord can have the value, today's royal family has been more and more regarded by people as the prototype of a country, no matter where the emperor goes, will get enough respect.
On the surface, of course.
The dishes of the American state banquet are not outstanding, simple fruit salad, boiled Maine lobster, lemon sorbet, dry hanging ribeye steak, traditional apple pie with vanilla ice cream, two bottles of white wine, that's all, there is really nothing outstanding about it, for Lin Xiaocao, who pays the most attention to energy in eating, there is still a steak in the eye, and things like desserts are purely dispensable.
As for the glory of eating at the White House, there is no more in Lin Xiaocao's heart, the so-called White House is just a larger courtyard in his eyes, in terms of area, the area of the God of War Palace in Kyushu City is nearly ten times larger than that of the White House, and even three or four times larger than the political heart of the Shenzhou Empire, Yinlonghai, and the internal scenery is not inferior to the White House, in terms of power, as the leader of a major faction of the Eastern superpower, the prince of the royal family, and His Royal Highness the God of War in the dark world, he has no awe of the power of the President of the United Statesγ
The atmosphere of the restaurant was silent, quiet, somewhat deadly.
From meeting to eating, the six big men also said a kind word that was not nutritious, it seems that all the topics have been prepared after dinner, the White House is not a private venue, but now it is definitely a private occasion, six people, at most the three camps, are not pleasing to each other, many hypocrisy and grievances are not necessary at all, there is a strong strength to back up, and there are not too many political factors, if you can't do anything, say anything, then the so-called big man is too sad.
So when the last dinner dessert in front of several people was taken down, U.S. President Ulysses took a sip of red wine, stared directly at the emperor, smiled indifferently, spoke without half a point of concealment, and looked at the emperor straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I need an explanation." β
When he said this, Ulysses's sharp eyes once again swept to Lin Xuanyuan beside him.
One is Lin Xuanyuan, who is suspected of being a super agent of the Shenzhou Empire, and the other is the emperor.
In the space of more than 20 days, the Americans who tossed and turned between the two people were panicked, their international status plummeted, and the entire country suffered heavy losses; at home, the people's support for him as president plummeted, and in the international arena, the United States became a laughing stock.
This is absolutely intolerable for Ulysses, who is bent on making the United States more brilliant in his own hands.
Everything is because of Lin Xiaocao and the emperor.
The former made a vigorous start, and the latter changed to a full stop lightly.
That's it?
How can it be so easy?!
"What explanation do you want?"
The emperor said lightly, ignoring Ulysses's ugly face, took out a box of cigarettes by himself, and after giving one to Wang Fuyu and Lin Xuanyuan, he also threw one to the patriarchs of the Morgan and Rockefeller families, acting naturally and casually, as if this was not a serious negotiation, but the knee-jerk action of several men at the roadside stall after they had just finished eating the last string of barbecue.
Josh Morgan shrugged his shoulders and lit his cigarette.
Clark Rockefeller, who tacitly acknowledged the Morgan's leadership of the Skull and Bones Society, also pulled out his lighter.
Six people.
Five of them were swallowing clouds, and the corners of Ulysses' eyes, who had quit smoking for many years, twitched slightly, a little angry, but was forcibly suppressed.
He knew exactly what the movements of the five men meant.
This is a subtle demonstration and a warning.
The casual and disrespectful actions of the five people directly told him that at least at this table, several of them did not regard the status of president as important at all, and he, the president, was just a member of the six, and no one could condescendingly scold anyone.
It was necessary for the three emperors to do this action.
The skeleton would be so cooperative, more because the internal negotiations of the three trying to unite the front before the dinner did not reach an agreement.
For a time, in the restaurant, the emperor was on one side, the skeleton was on the other, and Ulysses, the president of the United States, seemed to have become a loner.
"Any explanation from Your Majesty is what I need and what I want. β
The murderous intent and fury in Ulysses' eyes flashed away, and then he instantly calmed down and spoke indifferently.
"I'm sorry, Mr. President. β
The Emperor exhaled the smoke from his mouth, played with the white wine glass with his other hand, and chuckled, "I don't think I have anything to explain. β
"Well, since Your Majesty doesn't intend to explain, then I'll say hello. β
Ulysses took a deep breath and said quietly: "Your Majesty, the royal lieutenant general Gemini came to the United States with a high profile and had a violent conflict with the thirteen X-level masters in the United States, isn't it?"
"It's not. β
The Emperor looked up at him and asked, "Who said the Twins came to America?"
"You!"
Ulysses's eyes jumped violently, and his expression suddenly became gloomy, he didn't seem to expect the emperor to deny it so simply, this was completely an attitude of talking nonsense with his eyes open, and there was no sincerity in negotiation at all.
Gemini is an important person for him to interrogate the emperor, many questions revolve around the female general of the imperial family, and now the other party directly denies it, so that he can't ask any questions, and for a while, the president is so aggrieved that he almost vomits blood.
"Isn't it?"
There was a hint of coldness in Ulysses's voice: "I remember that His Majesty personally asked me to ask another group of people from the royal family to enter the United States and assist you in completing the cleanup of the thirteen X-ranks.
"She?"
A smile appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth, and he and she were two words in English, and he said directly: "No, it's not her, it's him." β
The emperor stretched out his hand and pointed at Lin Xuanyuan next to him with his palm: "Mr. President, I can say for sure that the strength of the Imperial Lieutenant General Gemini is now X-level, but this time I am facing thirteen people of the same level as her, do you think, how useful is it for me to call her? My original intention was to ask Xuanyuan to come over to help me, but unfortunately, those thirteen people moved too fast and did not let me wait for support." β
The emperor paused, glanced at Lin Xuanyuan, shook his head and sighed: "This kid, it's late, the other group of people I mentioned are my God of War King, Li Hu, and Wang Jianghu, not twins, Mr. President, you seem to have misunderstood." β
"Misunderstanding?!"
Ulysses's fists clenched unconsciously, he didn't expect the emperor to deny the fact that the twins came to the United States, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to ask: "Then on the battlefield where Your Majesty fought with thirteen X-ranks, who was the woman who slaughtered my American special service ordinary soldiers with elites?"
"I don't know, I don't. β
The emperor's eyes were open, and he looked dazed.
ββ
Ulysses scolded the emperor in his heart, and his tone was even more cold and gloomy: "If Your Majesty didn't know, how could he have appeared on the battlefield at that time?
"I don't know that woman. β
The emperor did not hesitate to say: "I appeared there because I got the news that thirteen X-class appeared there, as for meeting the woman you think is a twin."
He slowly lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then said in an uncertain tone, "It's a coincidence, right?"
Ulysses was shocked.
Or rather, the emperor's shamelessness directly stunned the president.
What the can do too?!
"You're quibbling!"
The president was silent for three or four minutes before he suddenly reacted, his voice subconsciously raised, and he shouted in a bit of anger.
"What proof do you have that I am quibbling?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly: "Ulysses, without evidence, I can completely say that you are slandering. β
Ulysses stared at the Emperor so hard that he seemed to have forgotten for a moment what he was supposed to say.
"All right, Ulysses. β
The emperor's tone became more and more casual, and the whole person leaned back in the chair casually, completely nonchalant, and even the title of Mr. President was omitted, and his name was directly called.
He looked at the US president with a gloomy expression in front of him, and said in a profound tone: "You should understand that I didn't come today to quarrel with you, I think we should say something useful, don't we?"
