469 Compromise
It doesn't matter if Ma Wenyi is bold, or if he doesn't dare to make a mistake, anyway, he finally got into the car and was sent to the diplomatic reception hotel in Seris by four clerks of the Special Missions Department of the Royal Guard, who were not low in magic.
When Marven was arranged in the palatial room, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's very chic, which gives him a feeling that Ellen Hill values him.
However, in fact, he was arranged to live here because none of the diplomats of Ellan Hill were willing to negotiate with this envoy from the puppet empire......
Breed believes that the current puppet empire can be said to be on the verge of death, and in this situation where the victory and defeat have been divided, peace talks with the puppet empire are simply a waste of time.
The foreign secretary, who has always stood in the position of Iran Hill and is known as an iron-blooded diplomat, has mostly suggested that political problems should be solved by military means.
In his view, diplomacy is a continuation of politics, and war is a means of resolving political differences—since Iran Hill's means can resolve any differences, then diplomacy does not require much skill, just let the war continue.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Foreign Minister of the Empire all have this idea, and you can imagine what other diplomats of the Empire think of the puppet empire in their heads.
The deputy foreign minister, who was eleven years older than Stryed, was obese, and he believed that the puppet empire, or some of the puppet empires that wanted to surrender, could not negotiate on a par with the Iran Hill empire.
He believes that the other party's level is already lower than that of the Empire, so the other party's diplomatic envoy, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Irlanhill Empire, cannot come forward to meet with him.
If the relations between the two countries are very good and cooperation has been maintained, it is not in accordance with the relevant diplomatic etiquette regulations of the empire to show the favor of the emperor to a friendly country, and the foreign minister can barely meet with foreign diplomats of the lower level of the hostile country.
At his insistence, various high-ranking diplomats in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs refused to receive the Marvin from the puppet empire.
In the end, they went through many diplomatic laws and relevant regulations, and finally found a satisfactory way to receive them: select a diplomat of the second rank, lead an improvised team, and meet with the envoy from a hostile country.
At this moment, Marven, who lives in the diplomatic hotel, does not know that Alan Hill does not pay attention to this diplomatic negotiation at all. He even rejoiced in his living conditions for a while, and tasted a free lunch that was not sumptuous, but better than he had never eaten.
The next morning, it was not until Marvin was taken to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building that he saw the 70-story giant building, that he realized...... What we are facing is a country that has never been stronger than ever.
"Mr. Marven...... I have no interest in these conditions that you have proposed. The second-level diplomat who was selected to serve as a negotiator put down the negotiation conditions brought by Marven, shook his head and said with some regret: "Such conditions, even I can't pass this level." ”
Marven also knows that now people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and the new puppet empire is simply unable to fight anymore, if the original puppet empire that blocked the front and made sandwich cookies, and the betrayed archmage Telavish are finished, then the new puppet empire will soon follow.
After all, the newly formed puppet empire does not have much troops, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it is not a little worse than the part of the puppet empire controlled by Tel Avish.
With such a little hole card, it is natural that there are no particularly good conditions. The bargaining chips given by the new puppet empire are actually very sincere, but in the face of the Irranhill Empire, which is ready to fully occupy the puppet empire and never suffer from future troubles, these sincere bargaining chips are basically not worth mentioning.
For example, the new puppet empire thinks they can recognize Irlanhill's ownership of the original puppet empire's dominions, except for the area actually controlled by the new puppet empire.
This is tantamount to acknowledging Iran Hill's legitimate ownership of parts of the Northeast, Southeast, and even Central of the former puppet empire. To put it bluntly, it's almost like ceding most of the puppet empire's lands to Iran Hill.
But the Iran Hill side, which has already won the battle on the frontal battlefield and the war situation is very good, does not think that this is the sincerity of the new puppet empire - I can fight it, and what do you admit to do?
Therefore, the differences between the two sides are actually very huge. The new puppet empire hopes to make peace with Irlanhill through war reparations, recognition of occupied territories, and restrictions on the number of troops.
However, Iran Hill only gave the new puppet empire a choice: accept Ellan Hill's rule and retain some of the customs and habits of the puppet empire's magicians in the demarcated part of the "Dominion" area, which is already the maximum concession......
Marven's face changed after seeing these conditions. He felt that this was Iran Hill's trouble, but the young diplomat in front of him, who was less than forty years old, would not give an inch.
looked at the other party's face with "If you kill me, I don't want to live." Anyway, with you and your country to bury me, you should hurry up! Marven really didn't have the mood to talk about it at all.
It is a pity that he did not dare to walk away, because such a precious opportunity for negotiation is not available every day.
The diplomatic team of the Iran Hill side made it clear that if they can't talk about it today, they will adjourn the meeting tomorrow and resume the conversation a week later.
Anyway, there is plenty of time in Iran Hill, every week, hundreds of thousands of missiles of various types are produced, and in a few months, maybe the floating fleet can go south.
But the new puppet empire doesn't have that much time - not only the threat of Iran Hill, but Tel Avish can't think of it, but he will turn around and deal with the newly formed new puppet empire, so what Marven lacks is precious time.
Whether there is a heart or not, and the strength is powerless, this diplomatic competition has been doomed from the beginning.
Therefore, even though Marven saw from the other party's face the appearance of "we don't want to talk about it, wait for the war to come out directly", he still patiently begged Iran Hill to give the newly established puppet empire a chance.
"I've got you all the chances! Join Iran Hill, as long as you haven't done anything wrong and haven't helped the demons...... You can't guarantee its safety! The diplomat raised his chin as if he had won a fight, and said to Marven with an arrogant face.
Marven continued to shake his head and begged bitterly: "Can't you leave us a piece of land?" The puppet empire has been standing in this world for thousands of years! It can't die at the hands of our people......"
"A betrayed human race, surrendered to the demonic empire, of course, cannot be allowed to exist in this world." As a mortal, this second-level diplomat had a feeling of schadenfreude and embarrassment for the Magic Empire.
Marven, who was the first to raise the banner against the Grand Magister of Telavish, was filled with remorse when he heard these words - they did not stand up to persuade Tel Vash in the first place, did not oppose the decision to compromise with the source of magic, and now they naturally have to accept such an outcome.
So he lowered his head and remained silent, as if recalling his life and as if he was choosing something.
……
Chris is juggling a mountain of paperwork in his office, and as the emperor of a vast empire that has never been seen before in history, he has to approve thousands of decisions every day.
For him, the cost of going out to fight at the risk of the front line is not just to fight at the risk of the front line - more importantly, he has to deal with the various tasks that have accumulated rapidly during his absence from the office.
For example, what he is reviewing is the plan for the establishment of a space force in the Empire. This plan was submitted by Desel, because as the second richest super-rich man in the empire, the money he threw in the universe was second only to Chris.
Underneath this document was sent by the General Command of the Imperial Air Force. The commander-in-chief of the Air Force, Butolia, proposed that the Air Force take command of the floating fleet, which was about to be formed.
Chris is also hesitating at this moment, whether to establish a new branch of the army, or to hand over these flying behemoths to the command of the Air Force.
In fact, this is not a simple decision, including the infrastructure of the airport, as well as the logistics of these floating fleets, the unified recruitment and training of new recruits, and the production and allocation of weapons...... All these will bring about new changes due to the issue of service subordination.
For example, if these floating warships are handed over to the Air Force, what will happen to the Navy? Which operations are under the command of the navy, and which combat missions are carried out by floating warships?
So all of this has to be carefully weighed, and it is not a matter of haste to make choices and decisions.
In addition, I heard that the third giant space station has been launched, and the docking has been very successful. More and more experiments in outer space, as well as the replacement of astronauts, all need to be known to Chris.
And the seed of the Elven Tree of Life, which had been sent to Iran Hill and that Chris had not yet had time to dispose of......
There are really too many things, and Chris has been busy since he came back until now, and he hasn't finished the work he has accumulated from his royal expedition.
Just as he was agonizing about these things, Stryed knocked on the door. He walked into the office of His Majesty the Emperor with a document written on his face with the joy of victory written on his face.
Without waiting for Chris to ask, he handed the document to Chris with both hands: "The guy named Marven has finally signed it...... Now, the territory of the puppet empire is the legitimate territory of the empire! ”
