Chapter 261: Two Negotiations

"General White."

Li ...... Checkmate! ”

After approaching, Bai Zhizhan saw that Li Qing had the rank of brigadier general on his shoulder, so he quickly changed his words, and almost shouted the wrong one.

How long has it been?

Directly promoted from major to brigadier general, who else besides the eldest prince?

Bai Zhizhan was not surprised, he immediately thought of it.

Li Qing did not represent the Imperial Army, but on behalf of the Imperial Family, as the heir to the imperial throne, he went to meet with the crown prince of the Empire.

This kind of meeting, which is conducted by the core members of the royal family, is full of sincerity and more secure.

It's just that he still uses a pseudonym.

After all, it's just a secret talk, so it doesn't need to be so grand, and the crown prince of the Manman Empire also serves in the army and also wears military uniforms.

As for the other acquaintance, it is Zhang Xiaoqing.

"General White."

"You're ......"

"Aren't you going to go to the negotiations?"

Bai Zhizhan was very puzzled and felt that Zhang Xiaoqing was joking.

"Ms. Zhang is a member of the negotiation team of the Ministry of Finance, which mainly involves strategic assistance, so the specific terms need to be reviewed and evaluated on site." Wang Kaiyuan walked over and said with a smile: "It seems that you have known each other for a long time. You talk, I'll call the others. ”

After dropping this sentence, Wang Kaiyuan didn't care whether Bai Zhizhan was happy or not, and turned around to greet the other personnel.

At first, I heard Li Qing say that the navy was going to send a very famous general over, saying that this three-party secret talk was actually mainly a matter of the navy and had little to do with the army. I also think it may be General Liu Xiangzhen, after all, he led the fleet to capture Liuhuang Island. ”

Agitation?

This little carving insect skill really has no effect, after all, in the past twenty years, the outside world has not evaluated the abilities of the two of them.

Bai Zhizhan just smiled politely.

"I heard my cousin-in-law say that you weren't in Puzhou some time ago, and you also went to the West and East to look at the West?"

"yes, I went for a walk, and by the way, I killed a few narrow warships."

"Is it your credit for the battle to annihilate the permanent fleet?"

Bai Zhizhan didn't answer, and he didn't need to explain.

The annihilation of the permanent fleet by Task Force 1 in the Guia Ocean was still top secret, and the Imperial Navy did not announce it, let alone publicize it.

According to the published information, after completing the repair of the hull, the "Yokoe" went to sea for navigation tests, which is why it appeared in Naqiu Port.

Because problems were found during the tests, the aircraft carrier had to return to the port of Puzhou for repairs.

In terms of public propaganda, it was the special group commanded by Liu Xiangzhen that annihilated the permanent fleet.

The credit is on the head of the first task force, and Bai Zhizhan did not care. As for the Navy's secrecy regulations, it is even more impossible to ignore the war in vain.

Fortunately, the transport plane is ready.

After the order staff came over to greet everyone to board the plane, Bai Zhizhan hurriedly walked to the front. He wasn't avoiding Zhang Xiaoqing, he just wanted to occupy a good position and sleep during the flight. If he had known that he would be sent to the negotiations, he would have gone back to the hotel to sleep after the morning business.

After getting on the plane, Bai Zhizhan went to the corner position, sat down and fell asleep.

He was indeed exhausted.

Since I came back before the Spring Festival, I haven't been idle, I've been busy, and I have to participate in socials every once in a while, so it's good to be able to get through.

At this time, in the southern part of the empire, at the naval aviation base outside the home port of the Southern Fleet, transport planes carrying another group of negotiators had already taken off.

The destination of these transport planes was Mara City, in the southern Pearl Kingdom.

Years ago, after President Nuland's call, the imperial authorities immediately responded by publishing a proclamation in the press in the form of a first and auxiliary signature, expressing the Empire's willingness to end the war with the Narrow Imperial State through peaceful means, including negotiations, and welcoming all peace-loving countries, including the Nuland Federation, to mediate, but the Empire would not give up its right to punish war crimes under international law and international conventions.

After that, after several rounds of consultations, the three sides agreed to hold their first informal meeting in Mara City, a southern pearl country.

If the meeting is quite pleasant, there is a possibility of negotiations.

If the meeting ends unhappily, then what is there to talk about?

In order to show the importance of this meeting, the Imperial side was headed by the commander of the Southern Fleet, Admiral Liu Xiangdong, as the head of the negotiating delegation.

A few days ago, Xue Yuanzheng personally signed Liu Xiangdong's promotion order, raising his military rank by one level.

Admiral, the aura is strong enough so that he will not lose to the other side when negotiating.

As for the Sagi Imperial State, the head of the negotiating delegation was Admiral Matsuki.

Like Liu Xiangdong, Song Hui had only been promoted to general a few days earlier. It's just that he was the commander of the submarine team of the Sagami Navy before.

The Newland Federation sent a rear admiral named Howl.

This man became famous for his short temper, and he also got the nickname "Brute Bull".

Judging from the personnel arranged, this meeting was no fun.

Although it was before the outbreak of the Great War that Liu Xiangdong sat in the position of commander of the Southern Fleet, no matter how you say it, Chengjiang Port was attacked by a sneak attack after he became the acting commander, even if he did not need to be responsible, he could not get over the face, so he should not be expected to push forward the armistice negotiations.

Admiral Matsuki was originally an unknown person and did not have much influence in the Satsui Navy.

As for Hal, who was sent by the Nuland Navy to do coordination, a rear admiral in his fifties, who had worked in the detachment of Nanzhu for more than ten years, and was later transferred to Guandao to take charge of the fleet's affairs, and only a few months ago was transferred back to the Guia Fleet Headquarters. is a few years older than Liu Xiangdong, and he is only a major general.

This is clearly to come and dilute the mud.

None of the three parties had peace of mind to talk, and they were all mixed up.

In terms of external publicity, that's a different matter.

Not to mention that the Nuland Federation and the Liangxia Empire, even the Narrow Imperial State, in the propaganda of public opinion, were full of confidence in this meeting, as if the flames of war would be extinguished after the meeting began, and then there would be an immediate truce, and go back to before the outbreak of the war, as if nothing had happened.

It must be said that in dealing with the meeting, the three parties took what they wanted.

Needless to say, the Liang Xia Empire was taking this opportunity to let the whole world know that it was a victim country, and to expose the shameful behavior of the Narrow Imperial State to a sneak attack to start a war.

The Nuland Federation wants to take this opportunity to strengthen its international discourse and prove that it is the only one who can make the Liangxia Empire sit down and negotiate.

As for the Imperial State, it is clear that it is intended to create the justification and conditions for the implementation of the strategic embargo by the Kingdom of Bran on March 1 by talking about armisticice and peace.

In any case, journalists from all over the world have already gathered in Mara City.

On the other hand, the southern city of the Luosha Federation, the most famous oil city in the eastern part of the Western Continent, and one of the world's largest oil producers, is not only very cold, but also very deserted, not to mention foreign journalists, even local residents have not heard of the secret talk.

It's not just oil that's famous for the caves.

Before the discovery of oil, the caves were famous for their hot springs and mud baths. During the Imperial period, the baths here were very famous, and the royal family of Luo Sha built a palace here, and many women would come to live here for a period of time every spring and autumn.

It is said that the mud baths in the caves have miraculous curative properties for skin ailments and are a beauty product.

Only now, the Imperial Palace has long since become an officially operated hotel dedicated to entertaining high-ranking foreign guests.
