When he came to the study, Bai Zhizhan first saw three people sitting on the sofa, Shoufu Xue Yuanzheng, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Liu Changxun and Commander-in-Chief of the Army Peng Huaisheng, and then saw two people standing next to the window, one of whom looked at the back image of Situ Jingde, the commander-in-chief of the Praetorian Guard.

The other one, is it holy?

Bai Zhizhan didn't react for a while, mainly because the saint changed into civilian clothes.

Robes?

That thing has long been in the museum, even on a formal occasion such as ancestor worship, it is the Liang Xia dress that Emperor Shiwu raised.

The abolition of the dragon robe, which had been inherited for 2,000 years, was actually the beginning of the secularization of the imperial royal family.

In the past, only members of the royal family could claim to be descendants of the dragon and be eligible to wear dragon robes, and the "dragon" has always been a totem for the royal family.

Now, the people of the Liangxia Empire are all descendants of the dragon, and the "dragon" is no longer the exclusive property of the royal family.

If you want to say anything, the Holy One appears in public, and it is a formal occasion.

Ordinary people, it is simply impossible to see the emperor in civilian clothes.

"The guests are gone?"

"It's all gone."

After Liu Changxun reminded him, Bai Zhizhan hurriedly closed the door. Liu Changxun didn't say much, waited for Bai Zhizhan to walk over and handed him a document.

A copy of the agreement, but it is not a secret agreement negotiated in the caves.

"It's going to take a few more hours, you can watch it first."

Bai Zhizhan nodded, and when he opened the document, he glanced at his watch, it was already past two o'clock in the morning, and the document in his hand was obviously just delivered.

That's right, the result of the Marat negotiations.

Today, yesterday to be exact, is the deadline for the Mara negotiations.

Because the time zone of the Bran Kingdom was a few hours late, it was not until around the early morning that a message was received from the city of Luntai about whether the Bran Kingdom had accepted the agreement.

If accepted, then there is not much to say.

Unfortunately, the odds of this happening are slim to none.

If it is not accepted, it means that the Kingdom of Bran will immediately impose a strategic embargo on both warring sides, and Prime Minister Bran will announce the specific embargo measures at the same time.

As for this agreement, even if it is written in three languages and hundreds of pages densely, it is no different from waste paper.

The content of the agreement can be described in an idiom.

Cast pearls before swine.

During the entire Mara negotiations, the three parties and the four countries participating in the meeting all spoke their own ways, did not care about each other's demands at all, and had no intention of compromising with each other.

Although this agreement was finally reached that seemed to be intended to maintain world peace, it was not feasible at all at the concrete level.

To put it mildly, the deal was only for Secretary of State Nuland Hale to be able to make a concession to Congress.

After more than ten days of tossing, hundreds of thousands of New Zealand dollars were spent on the daily food and accommodation of the representatives of all parties, and they must give an explanation to the taxpayers of the Nuland Federation.

The Bran Kingdom had only one request, the Liangxia Empire and the Sayi Empire had to unconditionally stop all combat operations before 0:00 on March 1, and hold the first ceasefire negotiations within the next 48 hours, and conduct formal negotiations before March 15.

What if we can't negotiate?

The Kingdom of Bran doesn't care about this issue at all, it has to cease fire anyway, and if it doesn't stop, an embargo will be imposed.

The attitude of the Liang Xia Empire was also very clear.

A ceasefire is possible, but there are seven prerequisites.

First, a ceasefire on top of the existing situation, that is, the Liangxia Empire would not let the combat troops retreat because of the ceasefire, and the ceasefire would only temporarily stop targeted military operations.

Second, within 48 hours, before the first cease-fire negotiations, the Imperial State of Saṣṇa should hand over to the Liangxia Empire all war criminals who participated in the planning, organization and execution of the sneak attack, including the current and former prime ministers, as well as directly or indirectly supported, connived at and assisted in launching the sneak attack, and committed crimes to the Liangxia Empire, and provided evidence and witnesses to unconditionally cooperate with the Liangxia Empire in the trial of war criminals.

Third, by March 15, that is, before formal negotiations, unconditionally hand over and return all overseas territories that had been occupied during and after the last war, including but not limited to Polo Chau, the Malai Peninsula and the Northern Malaysia Islands, to compensate for the losses caused by the illegal occupation.

Fourth, dismantle the Navy and Army before the signing of an armistice. The Navy shall hand over all ships with a standard displacement of more than 500 tons, as well as all submarines and combat aircraft, and stop the construction of all warships. The army retained only 100,000 security troops, handed over all heavy artillery, tanks, and aircraft, and repatriated all the officers and men of the troops to their hometowns.

Fifth, after the signing of the armistice agreement, the volcanic islands were unconditionally ceded and Shuangma Island was leased to the Liangxia Empire for a period of not less than 99 years. The two places of Changwai and Haebin were opened, and they were permanently leased to the Liangxia Empire as military bases, and the Liangxia Empire was allowed to garrison troops in the two places.

Sixth, after the armistice agreement came into effect, negotiations on war reparations were to be conducted, and the Liangxia Empire had the right to use various means, including the imposition of compulsory tariffs, during and after the negotiations, to obtain economic and non-economic benefits that did not exceed the demands of war reparations.

Seventh, after the war, the Narrow-Empire was not allowed to conclude treaties of any nature with any country other than the Liangxia Empire.

Where is this a precondition, it is simply an unequal treaty of Chiguoguo, which is even more excessive than the requirements made by Chen Bingxun after knocking on the door of the Narrow Imperial State!

Will the Imperial Diet of the Sagai agree?

Definitely not!

Of course, the Imperial State of Narrowness also made a request.

Much simpler, within 48 hours of the ceasefire, and no later than 15 March, the warring parties will return to the status quo ante before the outbreak of the war.

This means that the Liang Xia Empire needs to hand over the Xiagao Kingdom and the Volcanic Islands to the Sayi army, and also withdraw the troops from the North and South Sadou Islands.

Obviously, it was impossible for the Liang Xia Empire to agree to such conditions.

In line with the principle of harmony, the Nuland Federation, which provided the venue for negotiations, also put forward a set of plans.

After the Saja Empire abandoned the Xiagao Kingdom, the Liang Xia Empire withdrew its troops from the Volcanic Islands, and the North and South Sadou Islands returned to normal, the Liang Xia Empire promised not to build military bases and military facilities outside of Naqiu Harbor, and to open the Watchman's Strait and abide by the principle of free passage.

Issues such as the punishment of war criminals and the payment of war reparations will be discussed after the ceasefire.

The Nuland Federal's proposal appeared to be a concession for both sides, but as a result, neither side could accept such a disguised compromise.

To sum up, the victory and defeat have not yet been determined on the battlefield, and negotiations are a waste of time.

For the sake of a result, and even an explanation to Hale, who is enthusiastic about the organization, there is this nondescript and worthless agreement.

This in itself is not a cease-fire negotiation, there is no requirement that a cease-fire agreement must be reached, all that is needed is an outcome that can be taken back and exchanged.

Will the Kingdom of Bran declare an embargo on the warring parties just because they haven't negotiated?

The failure to negotiate does not mean that the negotiations have broken down, after all, the negotiations have not yet begun.

The embargo sanctions have been put aside for the time being, and that is still to be discussed.

As long as the embargo measures are implemented, there will be no talk at all!

"At the beginning, Liu Xiangdong sent a telegram, still negotiating with the representatives of the Bran Kingdom, saying that it would definitely end before dawn."

Hearing this, Bai Zhizhan looked towards Xue Yuanzheng.

"As long as we can talk, that's a good thing." Xue Yuanzheng smiled and didn't explain too much.

Before Xue Yuanzheng said this, Bai Zhizhan thought of it.

Being able to talk means that there is still room for discussion, and it also means that the strategic embargo will not come so violently.
