Chapter 257: The Zimaya Talks (Part II)
After the two sides stepped down from the warship, they didn't say much, just nodded slightly, as if they were strangers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Brad walked up to Elm and asked softly, "Are you all ready?" ”
"Lieutenant General, it's ready, I'll take you there right away," Elm reported in a nervous voice.
"Good!!" Brad spoke.
Led by Yumu, the two parties entered a three-story office building on the island, which looked a little old and obviously had not been renovated for a long time, but the environment was well maintained, and everywhere was clean and spotless.
The group walked into a large conference hall, where a long wooden table appeared with two neat rows of teacups.
After Brad sat down with the admiral on the left, Muratu also led the men to the right, and the two sides looked at each other, and a solemn and dull atmosphere spread.
"There's not much time, so there's no need to say polite words, let's get started!!" Brad said calmly.
"Haha, since Lieutenant General Bullard said so, of course we have no opinion" Mulatu nodded with a smile.
Hearing the two supervisors speak, some other staff members hurriedly took out the documents that had been prepared long ago.
Brad took out a document from the entourage next to him, shaved it, and said softly: "Yanlong wants to form his own navy, and the government has agreed, which is some of our requirements for the new navy."
After Mulatu took it, he looked through it carefully, and saw that it was written.
First: After Tang Ming formed the navy, all clothing must still be the righteous clothes of the navy and cannot be changed.
Second: The new navy must complete the task of exterminating the 300 pirates every year.
Third: At present, the station under Tang Ming will be handed over to the person appointed by Marin Fanduo in the future, and no other station behavior is allowed.
Fourth: If a big war breaks out, Tang Ming must send troops to help.
Fifth: For the new navy, the headquarters does not bear any costs, and Tang Ming himself is completely responsible.
After reading these five articles, Mulatu sneered, threw them aside, and said loudly: "We can agree to some of them, but some must be modified, and, Lieutenant General Brad, do you call this an agreement??" The above is just an order for us to do something, you are the teacher of King Ming, I respect you in my heart, but such an agreement is meaningless"
"Oh!! So what do you guys want? Brad's eyes narrowed.
"First of all, the first point is to clarify the number of the new navy, as well as the absolute command of the Ming king, we have already thought of the number, it is called the Ming army, in order to distinguish it from the navy of Marin Fando, in the future, our troops, in addition to wearing the cloak of justice, will have a clear mark on the chest" Mulatu said with a serious face.
After listening to Mulatu's words, Dauberman suddenly stood up with anger on his face, and roared loudly: "You are dreaming, you still want the name of the Ming army, there is only one enforcer on the sea, and that is our navy, not you traitors."
"You're a rarity for us! If you hadn't begged us, we would have followed King Ming to occupy the land as the king, and it would be much more comfortable" Atheus was also a violent temper and went up directly.
The two glared angrily, refusing to give in to each other, and a powerful momentum erupted from their bodies, and the teacups on the long table began to tremble slightly.
"Dauberman, sit down for me, or get out!!" Brad ordered loudly with a serious face.
"Humph!!" Hearing this, Dauberman sat down in a huff.
"Chairman Mulatu, we can agree to this, what else??" Brad smiled, just a number, not to worry about.
"Second, the Ming army also needs to have its own base, otherwise how to garrison troops, you can rest assured that you will never let the headquarters pay a penny, and it will also stay away from Marin Fando"
"Yes!!" Brad nodded again, these two requests had long been expected by him and Sengoku.
"Okay, then let's talk about the station!! Muratu laughed.
Hearing this question, I saw Brad wave his hand, and said with a firm face: "There is no need to discuss this, only Marin Fando's navy in the world can have a station, this is the bottom line."
Muratu frowned slightly, and said dissatisfied: "Vice Admiral Brad, isn't this unfair, our Ming army is also a navy, if there is no station, how to recruit soldiers, how to exterminate pirates!" ”
"Haha, of course you can recruit soldiers, our navy can give you two chances to recruit every year!!" Brad's eyes flashed, the station is a symbol of orthodoxy, if Tang Ming gets it, then Marin Fando may be replaced in the future.
Hearing this, Muratu and Tolstoy couldn't help but look at each other.
"Hello Vice Admiral Brad, I'm Tolstoy from Rogue Town, and I know that the garrison is also important for the Navy, so be it!! Fifty, we only need fifty," Tolstoy said with a smile on his face.
"No!! Not a single one" Brad is very tough on this.
The two sides immediately argued together, and Brad refused to give in at this point, and Atheus and Dauberman almost had to fight again.
"Okay, so be it!! Let's put this question aside for now, how?? Mulatu directly changed the topic and skipped this link, otherwise it would not have been possible to proceed later.
"Yes!!" Brad nodded.
The meeting lasted for more than three hours, and many issues were resolved, but only on the two points of stationing and announcing the Ming army to the world could not be discussed.
"Lieutenant General Brad, the establishment of our Ming Army was agreed by the government, I can't figure out why the government can't announce it to the world," Mulatu asked urgently.
"Although the Ming army is separated from the navy, it still belongs to the category of the navy, and it is not an additional branch of the military, what qualifications do you have to announce to the world," Brad shot back.
"Vice Admiral Bullard, if you say so, then there is no need to talk about it, our Ming army helped the navy eliminate pirates and protect the people, but we didn't get any official recognition, why do we do such a thankless thing, we can be at ease, not big words, the current financial resources of the Mingyan Group to support us people for tens of thousands of years are a problem, you must be clear, this time it is you who ask to negotiate with us." Mulatu couldn't help but threaten.
Hearing this, Brad's eyes froze, Tang Ming, this bastard, really encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if it wasn't for the opening of the era of pirates, how could the navy give him such a chance to be independent.
"Okay!! We can inform you, but it must be noted that both the Ming army and the navy belong to the world government and are under the command of the world government!! ”
"Haha, of course!!" Hearing that the other party agreed, Muratu smiled happily, and being commanded by the government was just an official face.
After the two sides talked about this issue, they talked for a long time about the station, but Brad was very resolute in this regard, that is, he did not give it, and Muratu and Tolstoy had no choice but to say that they wanted both sides to tell the above.
Late at night, Tang Ming answered Mulatu's phone call in his office.
"King Ming, that's the way it is, the headquarters refuses to let go of the station"
"Haha, don't let go, there is no station, all my soldiers and horses are stranded in the headquarters!! You tell them that thirty is my limit, and if you don't want to, then pull it down!! Tang Ming announced domineeringly.
"Yes, King Ming!!"
The next day, the meeting continued, Muratu relayed Tang Ming's original words to Brad, Brad frowned after hearing this, and finally sighed slightly, the navy is now in urgent need of Tang Ming's strength, yesterday he discussed with the Warring States, the meaning of the Warring States can give the other party no more than thirty-five stations, although this number is relatively small compared to the navy, but if it is given to Tang Ming, it is incredible.
"I understand your difficulties, okay, allow you to have thirty stations, and you must not add them in the future," Brad said softly.
Next, the two parties began to discuss the distribution of the station, and there was not much argument at all, Tang Ming and the others chose some small and medium-sized islands, and the kingdom did not participate, but there was one place, and the two sides quarreled together.
"Lieutenant General Brad, Rogue Town is the place where King Ming started, and the people there have a deep affection for him, I believe that if our Ming Army is in charge, we will be able to better annihilate the pirates, so you can see if it will work" Tolstoy showed a pleading expression for the first time, Rogue Town is of great spiritual significance to the Ming Army.
"I know the situation in Rogue Town, he is now the holy land of the East China Sea, and there is a statue of Tang Ming in it, and it is because of this that he must not let it out!!" Brad is very firm, the problem of Rogue Town Warring States emphasized that it must not be left to Tang Ming, one Rogue Town is worth more than a dozen islands.
Hearing this, Mulatu and Tolstoy shook their heads in disappointment, and it seemed that the Rogue Town Navy had been closed.
"In that case, we don't force it, but I hope that the statue of King Ming will be erected there forever, otherwise we will just snatch it back," Tolstoy's eyes glistened.
"You can rest assured that not only will the statue be fine, but it will be guarded even more," Brad assured.
When the 30 sites were selected, the negotiations were finally concluded and the agreement was divided into six articles.
First: Tang Ming formed the Ming army, assumed the position of marshal, and was canonized as the king of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army was forever controlled by him.
Second: the world government needs to announce the establishment of the Ming army and establish its legitimacy.
Third: Every year, the Ming army sent troops to capture pirates all over the world.
Fourth: the navy suffered in the capture, and the Ming army had to help, and vice versa.
Fifth: The Ming army must respect the world government.
Sixth: Have two opportunities to recruit troops, and the number of garrisons must not exceed thirty.
After Tang Ming and the Warring States signed, the agreement could be executed, which was the famous Zimaya Agreement in later generations, which represented Tang Ming's official entry into the top of the world.
