Chapter 125: Take a Step Back
Ulysses is a very punctual person, and after the staff set up the equipment for video calls, ten minutes after they arrived, the call request from the United States on the opposite side was already lit up on the screen, and the time was almost every second.
The emperor sat on the chair, smoking a cigarette silently, and did not move, Empress Xia Qinwei moved her body and connected to the video.
The huge screen flickered slightly, and suddenly, the face of the current President of the United States, Ulysses, appeared on the screen.
The president of the United States on the big screen looked serious, dressed neatly, sitting in his office, and the American flag in front of him added a sense of solemnity to him.
Ulysses was slightly stunned when he saw the empress and the emperor together, and then smiled quietly: "Good evening, two Majesties." ”
"Good morning, President Ulysses. ”
Xia Qinwei said lightly, her expression was cold and dignified, and her momentum was domineering.
Now the time of the royal family is evening, and the capital of the United States is morning, and the mutual greeting between the two is also interesting.
Ulysses smiled and said, "I'm sorry to disturb the leisure time of my two Majesies, but I think it's very necessary for me to express my heartfelt gratitude to both of you for the continuation of my political life, and in this respect, the royal family is my benefactor." ”
"Ulysses, don't talk nonsense, Jared would prefer me to be his benefactor than you, the royal family helped you, but you treat the royal family like this, old friend, I am very disappointed in you. ”
The emperor took a puff of his cigarette, his tone was a little impatient, and his eyes were unusually cold.
Ulysses felt a pang in his heart.
Jared?
Jared Onassis Dupont.
The leader of the Republican Party who has been pushed out in the past two years, and now the governor of Maryland, Jared, has excellent ability, and now he has won the support of a considerable part of the Republican Party, and not to mention his outstanding ability, just with his two prominent surnames, it is enough to make countless people look sideways.
Jared Onassis Dupont.
Although the Onassis family, known as the king of the world's ships, has shrunk a little in recent years, its influence is still not to be underestimated, and it is a heavyweight member of the Skull and Bones Society, and its wealth is extremely amazing.
In recent years, General Motors, the United States, which has been the world's largest in terms of sales every year, is jointly controlled by the DuPont family and the Morgan family, which fully illustrates the relationship between the DuPont family and the Morgan family.
Jared is the descendant of the pearl of the Onassis family after the marriage with the Dupont family, and his brain, skill, and economic strength are quite outstanding, even Ulysses has to admit that he is a very successful politician.
After the invasion of the United States by Lin Xiaocao, an agent of the Shenzhou Empire, Ulysses' influence was greatly weakened, and his term of office was about to expire, and some of the work he had done in the early stage of his ambitious intention to break the US Constitution and continue to seek re-election was all in vain, and the US election was about to enter the caucus stage.
Jared Onassis Dupont is the most powerful man in the presidential campaign.
It's just that Ulysses and the royal family reached a deal later, and the royal family, Morgan and the Rockefeller family worked at the same time to stabilize the situation, but this does not mean that Ulysses' continued re-election is a 100% thing, at this time, if the royal family turns to support Jared, the re-election will be full of uncertainties again.
In front of the screen, the corners of Ulysses' mouth twitched slightly, and he forced a smile to himself: "My friend, I don't understand what you're talking about. ”
"Adolf, the red robe and the black robe infiltrated the Shenzhou Empire with the elite of your dark dawn, I need an explanation for this matter. ”
The emperor said calmly, leaning back in his chair, his momentum as steady as Mount Tai.
Ulysses narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingers subconsciously knocked on the desktop in front of him, the purpose of his call this time was to stabilize the royal family, the news that the emperor was about to go to the Shenzhou Empire had been placed on his desk, which was equivalent to the first step of the tentative alliance between the royal family and the Shenzhou Empire, if it could be destroyed, Ulysses would not hesitate to destroy it, and even give some benefits to the royal family.
A small number of advanced military equipment of the United States that the royal family now has are all meat spit out by the United States in order to prevent the imperial family from approaching the Shenzhou Empire, which is the usual means of the United States, treating the royal family and the treasure island area of the Shenzhou Empire, but the royal family is obviously not Taiwan, but the best thing is that the royal family has a personal grudge with the high-level of the Shenzhou Empire, so every time the United States stabilizes the royal family, although it has wasted a lot of effort, the effect has always been good.
And tonight, it is also Ulysses' intention to pay some benefits to stabilize the royal family again.
But as soon as the video call began, without saying a word, the emperor asked himself to give an explanation for sending elites to lurk into the Shenzhou Empire.
What's there to explain?
Ulysses suddenly had a sense of anger in his heart, the royal family and the Shenzhou Empire have never been one, I sent my people to the Shenzhou Empire not to the imperial family, and you have a half-dime relationship?
Before you go to the Shenzhou Empire, you think you are the master of the empire?
Ulysses glanced at the emperor, chuckled, and said indifferently: "The imperial family and the Shenzhou Empire don't seem to be one, right? On the contrary, I would like to give His Majesty an explanation, as far as I know, the giant of the royal family, the God of War King Lin Xuanyuan, has obstructed many times when my people are on a mission, and even cut off one of the arms of the black-robed Bakel, and snatched his weapon, it happened to be that battle, he acted with Wang Tianxiong, the guardian of the Shenzhou Empire, and before that, he also joined forces with an old man and seriously injured Adolf, all of this, does it mean that Your Majesty is going to unite with the Shenzhou Empire? If not, Your Majesty must give me an explanation, and if the answer is yes, then I think both the United States and I will reconsider our friendship with the royal family. ”
Tough!
The queen glanced at the screen with some surprise, did not speak, and after thinking about it, she understood.
Ulysses spoke to the emperor tonight, undoubtedly intending to stabilize the imperial family, but as soon as the emperor came up, he stimulated Ulysses, and Ulysses, who had fallen into a disadvantage in momentum, was bound to pull back this game from the momentum, so that the negotiations could continue, otherwise there would be no way to negotiate.
"You want to explain to me?"
The emperor looked at the screen, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes: "Very good, let me give you an explanation, the royal war god king will leave in the near future and go to the United States to seek justice, I don't know this explanation, are you very satisfied?"
The God of War King went to the United States?!
With the addition of Lin Xiaocao, there are two world-shaking masters.
Ulysses subconsciously sat up straight, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he said in a cold tone: "Wang Fuxing, what are you going to do?!"
This time, he directly called out the emperor's name, and his face was gloomy and a little scary.
"Do what?"
The emperor sneered, and his eyes were-for-tat with Ulysses on the other side of the screen: "The first thing Adolf did when he entered Kyushu City was to attack the Palace of the God of War, hundreds of elite guards died, and he slapped the royal family in the face, why do you say? The second time, at the gate of the Brilliant Shenzhou, Adolf planned to kill Lin Xuanyuan, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Longyin, why do you say it is? The third time, Adolf was seriously injured, and the red robe and the black robe led his elite to besiege Lin Xuanyuan, and even used rockets, why do you say it? You went to the Shenzhou Empire to take revenge and take revenge on me, but you have repeatedly hit the idea on the head of my royal family, why, you are a small force with no foundation in my royal family, and you can let you play with the United States casually? You still ask me what I want to do? I tell you, I want to kill people and set fire in the United States, what can you do to me?"
The corners of Ulysses' mouth twitched, and if the emperor didn't say a word, his face would turn dark, but these things, he still had no room to refute after all, although he knew that even if Adolf didn't attack the God of War Palace, and didn't provoke Lin Xuanyuan, Lin Xuanyuan would find trouble with him, but no matter how clear he was, this was not a fact, in fact, it was indeed Adolf who attacked the God of War Palace first, and then the royal family interfered strongly.
"Between Adolf and Lin Xuanyuan, it is a personal grudge. ”
Ulysses was silent for a moment before he spoke, his voice harsh and hoarse, and he spat out a reason that he did not believe.
The corners of the emperor's mouth lifted slightly, threw away the cigarette butt, reached out to take the cigarette again, but found that the cigarette case was empty, he opened the drawer, simply took out a cigar, slowly cut off the cigar cap, lit it and took a big puff, and then said lightly: "Personal grudges? Fart!"
"You!"
Ulysses slammed the table to his feet and glared at the Emperor.
"Personal grievances? When your secret service organization is carrying out national tasks, it still has the heart to resolve the so-called personal grievances regardless of the risks exposed? Even if Adolf has a personal grudge with Lin Xuanyuan, after he was seriously injured, the red-robed and black-robed ambushed Lin Xuanyuan with dozens of elites of the American secret service system, which also represents a personal grudge? Okay, I accept this statement, then Lin Xuanyuan, and even the royal family and the United States also have some personal grudges, let's go to seek justice, it's not too much, right?"
The Emperor sneered.
"Wang Fuxing, don't be embarrassed. ”
Ulysses said coldly.
The emperor silently tied his cigar and stared at the president of the United States on the screen without saying a word.
After a long time, Ulysses took a deep breath, sat down helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm a little emotional, but you should know that whether it's a red robe or a black robe, for the United States, it's not its own people, especially the black robe and Adolf, before the operation, I didn't even know them, so I can't understand their actions, and I can't even control them, as for why they attacked"
"Two hundred billion dollars, three core military technologies of the royal family's choice, and some of the latest military equipment, sold at half price. ”
The emperor directly planned Ulysses's words and said flatly.
"What?"
Ulysses was a little stunned, and for a moment and a half did not react at all.
"Compensation. ”
The emperor's tone was understated: "I don't want to listen to your so-called hardships, your words, I don't care if you believe it or not, anyway, I don't believe it, I only know that even if it is a personal grievance, your people are also on behalf of the United States to solve the so-called private grievances, I can put this matter down, but I must get enough compensation, what I said above is compensation." ”
"Compensation?"
Ulysses muttered to himself, his face becoming more and more gloomy.
Two hundred billion dollars is nothing, if you can prevent the royal family from getting close to the Shenzhou Empire, the money will be given, but fuck, listen to the latter two conditions?
Three core military techniques of the royal family's choice.
, core!?
This is even more outrageous than the ten military technologies required by the Shenzhou Empire.
After all, what the royal family wants is the most valuable core technology!
With this alone, Ulysses could not agree, let alone sell some of the latest military equipment at half price.
The most important thing is that after paying these compensations, it is only the price of letting Lin Xuanyuan not go to the United States, the Shenzhou Empire, the emperor still has to go.
"It's not possible, my friend, you're embarrassing me. ”
Ulysses was completely calm, but his words were unusually resolute in his rejection of the emperor.
"Impossible?"
The emperor's expression did not change at all, and he said lightly: "Then the royal family and the God of War King can only go to the United States to settle their personal grievances with the United States." ”
On the screen, Ulysses also lit a cigar, took a deep breath with an intoxicated face, and chuckled: "No one has ever dared to threaten the United States, Your Majesty, you don't know what you're doing." ”
"I can guarantee that as long as Lin Xuanyuan dares to come, he won't be able to go back, the people of the royal family, how many come, how many will die!"
"And the royal family will soon be retaliated by the United States in the form of war, and your royal family will be devastated, Your Majesty, are you sure that you will bring a war to the royal family?!"
Ulysses said in a slower and slower tone, but every word carried an unusually heavy pressure, almost overwhelming.
"War?!"
The emperor suddenly laughed, his posture wild and wanton, his cigar hand pointed at the screen, and laughed: "No one has ever dared to threaten the United States, can anyone dare to threaten the royal family? What about the war? My imperial army of 550,000 troops, Ulysses, do you want to see how many sons of my royal family can kill if you start a war?!"
550,000 troops!
Five, ten, five, ten thousand.
100,000,000,000
Five hundred and fifty thousand!
Ulysses' body shook unusually visibly, and his chest continued to rise and fall.
The military power of the imperial family is indeed extremely powerful, but the headquarters of the imperial family, the island of more than 70,000 square kilometers, has a population of just over a million.
Therefore, the size of the imperial army's has never been large, according to the information gathered by intelligence around the world, the size of the imperial army's army is only about 50,000, and the maximum is not more than 80,000.
Where is the rest of the hundreds of thousands of troops?
Even if all the people were soldiers, the emperor would not be able to pull out an army of 550,000.
Ulysses' throat visibly moved, his eyes wandering, and finally landed on the globe in front of his desk.
The electro-globe rotates slowly, symbolizing America's hegemonic ambitions that will never be extinguished.
But Ulysses suddenly locked onto a continent on the globe.
In the whole world, no matter how good the emperor's relationship with Europe, the Soviet Union, and the Shenzhou Empire is, the other party will not allow the imperial army to hide in his own country.
There is only one place in the world where the emperor can train an army of hundreds of thousands.
The African continent!
Ulysses was cold, and his breath was chilling.
The geographical location of the imperial family is special, sandwiched between the Soviet Union and the Shenzhou Empire, and if the United States wants to start a war, it will have to face tremendous pressure, if it is facing hundreds of thousands of troops.
Such a war is not what the United States wants at all.
A thunderous Gulf War has given Americans confidence, but if it faces a special royal family, it is likely to be another Vietnam War for the United States.
Ulysses's heart was violently agitated, looking at the emperor on the screen, he clenched his fists fiercely, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, war is not good for both sides, I think we can talk, with enough sincerity to talk." ”
"I'm very sincere, and the conditions I just said are my bottom line. ”
The emperor lowered his eyelids and said lightly.
Ulysses was furious again, but then forced his temper and continued: "I've made enough backsliding to leave a lot of room for both of us to negotiate, you"
"Not enough. ”
The emperor held his cigar and said lightly: "You haven't retreated enough! My bottom line is here, you must retreat to my bottom line, so that we can sit down and negotiate!"
"Not enough retreat?!I think I've made too many retreats, Your Majesty, you haven't even listened to my conditions!"
Ulysses said coldly.
"I don't need to listen to your conditions, I just look at my conditions, and it's clear that you may have done a lot of regression, but not enough. ”
The emperor's tone resolutely left no room for the slightest: "Since it is not enough, then retreat!"
