Because of the delay for a while, when Wang Kaiyuan led the team back to the conference room, the Nuland military and political negotiators led by Nitz were already seated.

Wallace did not personally participate in the negotiations, but arranged for a plenipotentiary.

In fact, the current Wallace is just a bare-bones commander, and apart from having the identity of President Nuland, there is not even a working person around him.

He had only managed to obtain a long-range patrol plane the day before, and hastily left the encircled Golden Bay before the armored forces under the command of General Patton arrived.

When he arrived in Treasure Harbour, apart from Missy, who played a key role, Wallace did not even have an entourage by his side.

In addition, only a few hours earlier, his family had crossed the border and entered Mexico with the help of intelligence officers from the Sixth Directorate.

As for the plenipotentiary he arranged, he was actually a local official on Honu Island.

This arrangement is just to prove that Wallace is the real president of the Nuland Federation.

In any case, it is not the president's turn to come forward in such negotiations at the grassroots level.

Unlike previous consultations, after the talks began, Wang Kaiyuan went straight to the point, throwing out two options for Wallace's representatives to choose.

Either immediately hand over all armed forces, including the Nuland Guia Fleet, and wait for the assistance of the Entente bloc to launch a counteroffensive on the mainland.

Or stay on Honu Island and sit and eat and die while wearing the president's crown.

Subsequently, Wang Kaiyuan did not even give the other party a chance to speak, so he called Zheng Jiangming and several other negotiators to leave the venue on the pretext of waiting for Wallace's decision.

The move exceeded the expectations of all Nuland negotiators.

Not to mention the local official who temporarily became the presidential plenipotentiary, even Niz didn't expect that Wang Kaiyuan would play such a game.

Obviously, this matter is not negotiable at all.

However, Niz quickly regained his composure.

After telling the rest of the crew to go back and wait for news, he went to Wallace alone.

To say that there is no preparation is obviously impossible to do.

At the moment when he decided to pledge allegiance to Wallace and ordered Sp to take the fleet north, Niz thought that he would have to surrender to the Liangxia Empire next.

The point is, the Khowaii Islands are just too small.

Even if you count the uncivilized natives, there are less than 1 million inhabitants in the Khowaii Islands, and they do not have any commendable property.

Relying on the Khowaii Islands to counterattack the mainland?

Apparently overthinking.

Even without considering the size, population and industry of the archipelago, the idea of relying on the Khowaii Islands to launch a counteroffensive is unrealistic at a distance of only 3,000 kilometers.

For a landing operation facing the mainland, a supply line of more than 3,000 kilometers is an absolute disaster.

Not to mention that it is like the rootless duckweed Wallace regime in exile, and the Liang Xia army to launch a landing operation, can only look at the ocean and sigh.

According to the plan of the Imperial Navy, after the capture of the Howaii Islands, it will not attack Nuland proper.

The next step is to march into the Wangxi Canal, land in the middle of the isolated continent far from Nuland, and then find a way to find a way on the other side of the Sunset Ocean.

This is also the key to allowing Liu Xiangzhen to lead the fleet to activities in the sunset ocean.

What's even worse is that all the Nuland soldiers in the Khowaii Islands are from the mainland, and their families are also from the mainland.

Even if Wallace is the legitimate president, he will not be able to solve the problems that military personnel are most concerned about.

Clearly, it won't be long before concern for family takes over loyalty to the Union and the president.

The only solution to this problem is to surrender to the Liangxia Empire.

As long as there is surrender, there is no question of whom to be loyal to.

No matter how vicious the Hwaseong authorities are, they will not poison the families of the captured officers and soldiers.

As for the counterattack on the mainland, at least at that time, Niz did not think about it.

Acting tough in negotiations and using the fleet as a bargaining chip was not Nitse's intention, but Wallace's intention.

Why did Wallace do this?

Even if Niz wasn't a politician, he could have guessed.

This fugitive president already has nothing, and the biggest capital in his hand is the fleet, and if he loses the fleet, he will really have nothing.

A president who has nothing, and still has the value of existence?

Wallace wanted to rely on the fleet to blackmail, or to get more benefits from the Liang Xia Empire, to secure its interests in the Newland Federation.

It's a pity that the Liang Xia Empire obviously doesn't eat this.

When Wallace offered to use the fleet as a bargain with the Liang Xia Empire, Nyze made it clear that this move would only backfire.

At the time, Nyze also warned Wallace that the move was playing with fire and setting himself on fire.

Fundamentally, Wallace's ability to come to Treasure Harbor alive was due to the Xia Navy.

What qualifications does he have to bargain with the Liang Xia Empire?

From another point of view, the negotiations with the Liang Xia Empire are over, and he has no value in existence.

On the contrary, after losing him, the Liangxia Empire had nothing to lose.

If anything, supporting Wallace would be a relatively big trouble, because it would inevitably involve direct, or at least indirectly, in the Nuland Civil War.

The biggest benefit that the Liang Xia Empire could gain by cooperating with Wallace was actually to avoid attacking Nuland proper.

This is the second of the two options proposed by Wang Kaiyuan.

After nominally defeating the Nuland Federation, that is, allowing the Wallace regime to announce its surrender, the Entente led by the Liangxia Empire was able to deal with the Hwaseong regime through a blockade, thus ending the large-scale military campaign and allowing tens of millions of soldiers to return to their families as soon as possible.

If the war continues, the Entente will have to sacrifice at least 3 million soldiers to attack Nuland proper!

Because the Liangxia Empire is the absolute main force of the Entente group, and has been leading the combat operations against the Newland Federation, it must take on the heavy responsibility of attacking the Newland itself, so among the 3 million soldiers destined to die, at least 2 million will be soldiers of the Liangxia Empire.

Will the Liang Xia Empire be able to sustain such heavy casualties?

However, this does not equal a reduction in losses.

The key is that as long as the Hwaseong regime has not announced its surrender, the Entente group led by the Liangxia Empire must maintain a high-pressure posture against it.

In addition, there is a need to weaken its military and industrial power through strategic bombing.

In fact, this is the first option mentioned by Wang Kaiyuan.

According to Nizz's understanding, the so-called support for Wallace's counterattack on the Nuland mainland is actually to capture several islands close to the Nuland mainland, such as Bermuda, as well as Newfoundland in the north and Cuba in the south, in order to obtain forward bases from which bombers can be deployed.

As for whether or not it is necessary to attack Nuland itself, that is another matter.

Through high-intensity bombing and strict blockade, even if it cannot completely dismantle the Hwaseong regime, it can also make the Hwaseong regime lose its threat.

A Hwaseong regime that is no longer a threat may be the result that the Liang Xia Empire wants to see.

Wallace had not 2 options in front of him, but one.

To put it bluntly, Wang Kaiyuan conveyed a very clear signal.

Accept a fait accompli!

Nyze had figured it out, but had Wallace figured it out?

If you want to say it, Niz really has no bottom in her heart.

It wasn't until the day before yesterday, when Wallace came to Jumbo Harbor, that Nyze had met the former vice president for the first time at such a close distance.

In other words, Nyze didn't know Wallace at all, so he couldn't tell what choice Wallace would make.

It's just that it's not the number one issue at the moment.
