Chapter 1387: Tear Your Face and Break Your Courage!
The extremes of things must be reversed, and the extremes of prosperity must decline!
The clever Fu Min made the emperor Hei Tong understand this truth, but he couldn't find a way to fool Qin Tian.
The third round of negotiations soon began.
Qin Tian's first question made Fu Min a little embarrassed.
"If the Garan Empire sincerely wants to let us cease fighting and withdraw our troops through compensation, then it will be straightforward and clear how many precious metals you are willing to compensate!"
Fu Min did not answer immediately, but was silent for a while.
"Because the monetary value, market price, and unit of measurement of our two civilizations are not the same, the loss of your side in the two battles of the Harak Planet, if you use the measurement method of our Garan Empire, then it is about seventy trillion imperial dollars......
Before Fu Min finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Qin Tian.
"It's only seventy trillion emperor dollars? Are you halving the discount? Fu Min, don't you forget, the topamide tart who created the Anteng Empire was supported by us, and he still has so many followers, the results of their calculations are too different from yours, with your foolish attitude, there is no need for us to continue talking!"
Fu Min immediately changed his words and argued: "The calculation method of the Toramide tart is definitely different from mine, because like the interstellar battleships, I count them at cost price, and he must give you the calculation according to the market quotation, which is naturally very different!"
"Okay, okay, I don't care what method you use to calculate it, whether it's 70 trillion yuan or 150 trillion yuan, anyway, you just say what your compensation is, what precious metals are used and what is the tonnage?"
Qin Tian asked impatiently.
Fu Min paused, feeling that both sides of this 'negotiation drama' seemed to be extremely impatient.
However, at this stage, the two sides have to continue to play embarrassingly to the end, whoever can't bear it first will have to make jokes and lose face!
They are all high-level civilizations, and they are all face-saving!
Fu Min became more and more sure that the human civilization on the earth did not want a truce at all, so he didn't bother to go around in circles.
"Our Majesty said, in order to show our sincerity, we can pay 30,000 tons of gold as sincerity gold in advance, and when your starfleet withdraws, and no planet in our Garan Empire is attacked by you, we will deliver 20,000 tons of gold per month, and the delivery cycle is 20 months, plus sincerity gold, a total of 430,000 tons of gold will be compensated to you!"
"The time and place of delivery have remained the same, they are all in the designated space port of our Garan Empire, but we have the right to send personnel and equipment to board and inspect the starship that you have come to receive the gold, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
Fu Min opened his mouth to sprinkle a lot of nonsense, but in fact, he didn't believe it himself.
These are all made up by him, and the emperor only agreed to deliver them in installments and batches, but did not say the specific amount and cycle of compensation, so Fu Min is making a good claim.
And Qin Tian, who was temporarily the 'assistant', of course, couldn't be too embarrassed, so he didn't express his position on the spot, but turned his head to look at Feng Peng, "You can get an idea about this matter!"
After saying this, Qin Tian got up and left the captain's room, and Feng Peng continued to play with Fu Min.
Feng Peng is of course a 'good actor', and in the interrogation period, he actually spent most of his time discussing with Qin Tian how to attack the planet Addis, and as for what the negotiations would be, he didn't think much about it at all.
Since it's acting...... Then accompany you to the end!
Feng Pengluo sat down, and immediately slapped the table with an angry face and shouted: "What kind of thing? A total of 403,000 tons of gold will be compensated? I said Fu Min, your Garan Empire is really a high-level civilization, a 10,000-year-old empire, and you look down on people, don't you? Do you think that our human civilization on the earth is easy to bully? Compensation in installments and batches, are you questioning our credibility and doubting our character?"
"I'll tell you! I'll talk about it here, the two battles of the Harak planet, your Garan Empire has brought huge equipment and personnel losses to our side, if you don't double the compensation, then we have to stop the negotiation immediately, let's see you on the battlefield!"
Fu Min's heart sank, and he thought, are you going to tear your face now?
Just when Fu Min almost impulsively said something provocative, he held back his anger.
"No! I can't say anything too drastic, and although the negotiations are bound to end in failure, I can test when and which planet the other side will take!"
Fu Min held back his anger and squeezed out a smile.
"Ambassador, please don't be too angry, the total compensation of 430,000 tons of gold is the result of our careful calculations, and its total value has far exceeded your war losses, and because of your counterattack, we have also caused certain losses to the Garan Empire......"
Feng Peng immediately roared: "Nonsense! Do you still have to deduct your losses from our total compensation? Then at this time, it is dark in the area where the Imperial City of your Jialan Planet is located, and you are working overtime to negotiate with me at night, do you still want me to pay you overtime pay?"
"Ambassador Fu Min, I seriously suspect that there is something wrong with your attitude, you have never thought of peace negotiations at all, you are just delaying time! If you still have such an attitude, then there is really no need for us to continue talks!"
Fu Min complained with a bitter face: "The ambassador is angry, if you think I have a bad attitude because of the amount of compensation and the delivery cycle, then I am really wronged, you can make your request, I can send a message to Your Majesty at any time!"
The old fox deserves to be the old fox!
Not only did he not get angry, but he used a routine like 'turning bones into palms' to resolve Feng Peng's anger invisibly.
"Our request is very simple, the total amount of compensation is one million tons of gold, to be paid in two installments, just in the last few hours, we can send an interstellar ship to the planet Garan to receive 500,000 tons of gold, and after six months, we will accept another 500,000 tons, and we can guarantee that there will be absolutely no attack in this half a year!"
One million tons of gold?
Fu Min immediately shook his head and said: "No, the total amount of compensation is too much, although the empire is not poor, but it can't come up with so much gold at one time, and the preparation time is only a few hours, it's too short!"
Feng Peng laughed.
"Is it? In a few hours, you can't send half a million tons of supplies to the space port, are you a technical idiot for me? A low-level civilization may not be able to do it, but as a high-level civilization, you will say that there is not enough time?"
"And there are hundreds of life planets, and there are countless other planets, with massive mineral resources, but you think 500,000 tons of gold is too much, don't you think it's funny?"
Fu Min smiled bitterly and said: "Ambassador, don't be joking, each country has its own national conditions, although my Garan Empire is vast and rich, but also has a large population, gold as an industrial necessity and a necessary material for market consumer goods, although the output is large, but the consumption is also large!"
"That's why we proposed, pay 30,000 tons of gold as sincerity gold first, and the 20,000 tons of gold paid every month in the future already account for more than half of our empire's gold production, if we compensate according to the total amount of one million tons of gold you proposed, then we can only pay 30,000 tons first, and the remaining 970,000 tons, and then pay 20,000 tons per month until it is paid off!"
Fu Min deliberately pretended to be poor, but he didn't want to dwell on it for too long, and the most important thing was to find out the information.
And Feng Peng has almost no patience.
"We ask for the first payment, at least 500,000 tons, but you can only give 30,000 tons, and maybe you will procrastinate and use various reasons to delay time......"
"No, no, no, don't get me wrong, if we reach an agreement, we will definitely complete the payment within the specified time, but I just don't know how much time you can provide to us!"
Fu Min took the initiative to steal the conversation this time, but the voiceover was asking for the time.
"Time? Our starfleet has been deployed in place, and it can start attacking at any time, but it can also be postponed, the key is to see when you can transport 500,000 tons of gold to the space port and get ready!"
Feng Peng is not a fool, and his words are vague, which makes Fu Min's wishful thinking come to naught.
"If it is 30,000 tons of gold, it will take about five hours from cleaning out of the warehouse, loading and shipping to the space port and waiting for it to be in place!"
"Five hours...... Anyway, we gave us eight hours for a ceasefire, and now there is still a lot left! But the amount of gold is still too small, and the difference in demand between us is too great, even according to the compromise, how can you provide more than 200,000 tons to be sincere enough?"
"More than 200,000 tons is really beyond our capacity, oh no, the gold reserves of the Imperial Royal Bank are not that much at all, we really only have 30,000 tons of gold!"
Although Fu Min knew that the emperor Heitong had given an order, and the Minister of Finance and Finance had raised more than 50,000 tons of gold in many ways, it would definitely be no problem for him, but he just bit down and only had 30,000 tons of gold reserves.
And for Feng Peng......
According to the current price of gold on the other side of the earth, each ton of gold can be sold for about 600 million yuan, and the total value of 30,000 tons of gold is about 18 trillion yuan.
What a terrible sum of money!
It's a pity that this is obviously a wishful thinking of the mirror, and it can't be done at all.
Therefore, Feng Peng might as well take the initiative to make concessions, but Fu Min continued to lose money and refused, but things were easier to do.
"Since you have always insisted that there are only 30,000 tons of gold, then we will deliver 30,000 tons today, and then give you five days to buy private gold, collect the gold reserves of major banks, and then accept the remaining 470,000 tons of gold after five days, this should be okay, right?"
Feng Peng took the initiative this time, since Fu Min admitted that he had 30,000 tons, he gave 30,000 tons first, if he didn't agree, then he could turn his face.
Fu Min is also an old driver, of course he is not shocked.
"It's okay to give 30,000 tons first, but the rest can only be 20,000 tons per month in the future......"
"Okay! Since you are so insistent, then I can make up my mind and agree, but have you delivered the 30,000 tons of gold you have in the last few hours? We have taken the initiative to express our sincerity, and we have been ceasefire and fighting for a long time, and your dignified Garan Empire will not be procrastinating on this small amount, right?"
Fu Min smiled and said: "Of course we won't! You have already expressed your sincerity with a ceasefire and extinguishing the war, and we will naturally hand over 30,000 tons of gold in time as an expression of our sincerity." So let's talk about how it will be delivered, and what ships are you going to use to receive the gold, and from this moment on, have we begun an indefinite truce?"
Fu Min asked many questions in one breath, but in fact, each question was a kind of temptation.
Feng Peng has long become indifferent, 30,000 tons of gold has never thought of getting his hands on it, no matter how sharp and direct Fu Min's question is, he has a vague answer, but he always insists on one point, the gold must be delivered as soon as possible.
Moreover, the starships sent are absolutely not allowed to board the ship for inspection, but as a concession, they can stay in the space port for a certain time, so as not to make Fu Min feel discredited.
The two sides began a long time of temptation and counter-temptation, and after half an hour of arguing, Feng Peng's last bit of patience finally ran out.
"Ambassador Fu Min, you are really good at fooling! After a while, I said that there was not enough gold, and I had promised that 500,000 tons could be postponed and 30,000 tons could be delivered first, but you proposed to postpone the transaction time, and I agreed to postpone it, and you had to board the ship for inspection, and I agreed that both sides would be present at the same time for inspection, but you would let our warship stay in the port for a week...... What are you doing in so many circles?"
Fu Min still smiled wryly, as if he had been wronged.
"Isn't this what negotiation is all about, that is, constantly discovering problems and then negotiating to solve them, you must believe that the sincerity of our Garan Empire is very sufficient, and we are very willing to compensate you for your losses in exchange for an armistice and peace!"
"Really?" Feng Peng sneered: "Your sincerity is to delay again and again, and keep entertaining me with all kinds of questions? I said Fu Min, I see that you are quite old, but how can you be a person who is not sincere at all?"
"I'm not honest, I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean!"
Fu Minpi doesn't smile at the flesh, but in fact, deep down, he has already turned over the river and the sea, and he can't wait to tear his face and scold people.
Feng Peng shook his head and smiled.
"You have always said that we are all advanced civilizations, and you are also a military minister, you should know very well that interstellar war is different from any form of war, it is fast-paced, high-intensity, and damaging, it can be said that the pace of attack and defense is very fast, in short, our starfleet can attack immediately, or it can attack after a few days or even dozens of days, it is pointless for you to delay this time!"
Feng Peng's words were already said very directly, almost tearing his face.
Fu Min's patience was also completely exhausted, and he shook his head with a smile.
"It's not that I'm procrastinating, it's that you didn't intend to accept the armistice negotiations from the beginning, right? Our Majesty proposed the armistice talks, and you arranged for the people to talk about it, but fortunately, our Majesty realized the mistake in time, so let me play with you!"
This time, the conversation has completely collapsed.
However, when the conversation really collapsed, Feng Peng was not a little angry, but had a feeling of being freed.
"Who said that we don't have the will to negotiate an armistice? So what are we doing? Are two high-level civilizations sending their own representatives to chat with each other? It was you who took the initiative to propose the armistice negotiations, and now it is you who say that we are not sincere, and you also say that the negotiations are a joke, Fu Min, Fu Min, I really obey your emperor and obey you!"
Fu Min laughed and said, "It's just each other! Aren't you just relying on the starfleet to show off your might in our Garan Empire? If you want me to say, just to break through the space defense system of the Demon Planet, you have the ability to send troops to land and fight and occupy it!"
"Also, don't really think that our Garan Empire is afraid of you, and you don't be naΓ―ve to think that releasing the negotiation video will have much impact on me, Your Majesty, and even the entire royal family, our empire is still strong, we still have a chance to turn the tables, and we still have hope of killing back the planet Halak. β
"One year! We have a year at most, which is enough to make a comeback! If you really have the ability, then we will destroy our Garan Empire within a year, otherwise we will definitely bring a more powerful starfleet back to your planet, so that you will not be at peace!"
Fu Min kept shouting and roaring.
The negotiation after tearing the face has become more interesting than the previous 'battle of wits and courage'.
Feng Peng didn't bother to care about any image, so he simply cocked Erlang's legs and lit a cigarette, like a ruffian.
"Well said!
"Fu Min! I have to say, in fact, there is no need for peace negotiations between us, we should exchange experiences with each other around how to conquer low-level civilizations and how to expand interstellar colonization! In this vast universe, there is no peace between different civilizations, either conquer or be conquered!"
When Fu Min heard this, he laughed.
"That's right! For so many years, our Garan Empire has been occupied by various means, or coercion, or force, so it has more than 300 living planets, in fact, in today's empire, there are at least a thousand races, they used to have an independent civilization system, their own language and culture, their own government and army, the result?"
"Haha! They can't win the Empire's Starfleet at all, since they can't stop the Empire's armed invasion, they can only be forced to choose to be invaded, assimilated, plundered, and after being occupied, where can they dare to resist at all?"
"Just like the second battle of the planet Halak, if you are not a crushing victory but a heavy defeat, then at this moment, I believe that the Empire's Starfleet has captured your life planets, and you may already be a third-class citizen of the Empire, where is your current arrogance!"
Fu Min's words and demeanor are quite arrogant.
Feng Peng shook his head and smiled.
"It's a pity, there are many fruits in this world, but there are no ifs! Aren't you boasting that your Garan Empire is technologically advanced? Why didn't you invent a time machine to turn back time! But it seems that if you go backwards, you may not be able to win, because our commander Qin Tian is invincible!"
Feng Peng took a puff of his cigarette and made a gesture that everyone on earth understands.
Although Fu Min didn't quite understand what the middle finger was standing up, what it meant, but through Feng Peng's contemptuous and proud appearance, he also knew that this was a very provocative gesture.
Fu Min also wanted to respond, but after all, he was more than a hundred years old, so he thought about it.
"Okay, since we've completely torn our faces, it's not interesting to continue chatting, whichever planet you like to fight, just attack! Anyway, I estimate that you are on an expedition, and the ammunition and supplies are not very sufficient, and it is too difficult to destroy the life planets of our Garan Empire one by one, Garan or Ardis planet, you must choose one of the two!"
"Therefore, if you have any ability, hurry up, I Fu Min has lived for more than a hundred years, and I haven't seen any strong winds and waves? I don't believe that just with a dozen or so interstellar warships now, you can wipe out our tens of thousands of years of history Garan Empire!"
After that, Fu Min is going to cut the connection.
"Wait for the old guy!" Feng Peng leaned in front of the camera, spit out a smoke ring, and said with a sneer: "Before officially ending this damn negotiation, I might as well tell you in friendship that the assistant in the second round of negotiations is actually Qin Tian!"
"What......? Is he Qin Tian?" Fu Min was instantly excited.
Feng Peng sneered: "Believe it or not, anyway, the one who destroyed all the starfleets of your Garan Empire is such a talented and handsome young man, if you are not convinced, you can also command a starfleet to seek revenge on Qin Tian in the future?"
ββ¦β¦β
Fu Min was speechless.
In his vision, the person who could command a classic defense battle on the planet Harak and wipe out the interstellar combat forces of the Garan Empire must be an old man of his age.
Because only when you are old enough and live long enough can you have rich experience and combat command experience, and can you calmly command the magnificent and vital interstellar war.
But the 'handsome guy' I saw in the second round of negotiations was completely a young man from Fu Min's grandchildren, and even younger than his youngest grandson, who seemed to look younger.
In this universe, there is a high-level civilization that appoints such a young starfleet commander?
Wrong!
It must be an illusion, maybe the other party has undergone plastic surgery through some kind of medical technology, or some advanced technology invented by the human civilization on the earth, so that people can maintain their youthful appearance for a long time.
After a slight stunned, Fu Min quickly regained his composure.
"It doesn't matter if he is Qin Tian or not, it doesn't matter how young he is, you don't have to stimulate me, I am very healthy, and I will not be angry because of your words! On the contrary, I still want to live well, I must see you earthlings defeated, beaten and take the initiative to beg for mercy and pray for peace negotiations!"
Feng Peng put away his smile and said solemnly: "Okay! However, you guys get through this level first! Our commander Qin Tian has prepared a big surprise for you, and he also said that there is a kind of weapon power, you are very clear, and I don't even know what it is!"
After speaking, Feng Peng hung up the connection without hesitation.
And Fu Min was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came back to his senses.
"What weapon? Hey, hey, hey......"
Continuous shouting, but helplessly the communication has been cut off.
Fu Min immediately ordered the signal corps to send another connection request, but unfortunately the other party did not respond at all, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
Suddenly.
A particularly bad premonition suddenly struck, Fu Min recalled Feng Peng's last sentence continuously, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a problem.
Big surprise? What will it be?
And it is also a weapon that even the negotiating ambassadors do not know, then this weapon must be very powerful!
What weapons?
Fu Min suddenly thought of the Eighth Fleet's Dakot Planet, the ultimate weapon that could kill people invisibly, and the secret that had been kept secret in the field of scientific research and technology in the Garan Empire.
Originally, it took hundreds of years to develop a microorganism that makes people 'immortal and invulnerable', but I didn't expect to create a 'killing death' in the planet's atmosphere, which can't be killed or extinguished - dark microorganisms.
In an instant, Fu Min's cold sweat was like a spring, and a trace of coolness swept from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
Boom!
Fu Min got up suddenly, almost kicked open the door of the communication car, and then stumbled all the way into the palace.
Where did he still have the calmness of a centenarian and the majesty of a military minister, more like a child who had fled from the desert, frightened, crying and shouting to find his parents.
And the emperor Heitong, who was originally thinking about how to divide power and how to save the empire from danger, instantly looked sad and dead after hearing the bad news reported by Fu Min......
