Chapter 137: Pocket Money

"Article 6...... This religion must change its canons, doctrines, and all programmatic documents that regulate its adherents, and remove all provisions concerning the legality of theocratic principles to bring them into line with the standards of human society. ”

"Article 8...... All personnel related to Elta's liberation war and the opening of the portal must be extradited to Elta for investigation and trial. In exchange, officers and soldiers below the rank of commander and who have not been burdened with war crimes can be returned to the church. ”

No one on this planet had ever written such long terms of an armistice, and the lengthy text made the living god Neuesas, who read it one by one, dizzy, think about nothing but his head, and as for Yukrosatia, who was in the same room, he had long since lost interest in the thing, and moved his seat to the fixed radio to listen to the radio, where the drama program that was now popular with Elta's female audience was being broadcast.

"Article 22, the specific implementation of the above provisions will be supervised by an armed monitoring group composed of an 8:2 ratio of the Elta Empire and the Bilunar Church. Matters relating thereto will be described separately in other documents signed by both parties. ”

I've finally finished reading it. Neesas placed the open folder on the arm of the couch and wiped the sweat from his forehead. After a welcome banquet, a symbol of friendly and soothing relations, Neuesas and Ucrochatia received the document in the first round of talks, and its wording was complete and the rules were so delicate that it did not at all seem to have been improvised.

Noy Esas sighed in frustration. Who knew that people from other worlds not only have a hand in warfare, but also engaged in construction, economy, agriculture, and public security, and these small things are so high that they don't know where to go? Mendong City, under the rule of the people of another world, can completely crush the best place of the Church of the Two Moons under its feet in any way, and even Noy Aisas and Ukrosatia, who are most familiar with Lancas, rack their brains, they can't convince themselves to find even the slightest advantage.

If that's it, forget it, the gods of this world are magnanimous...... But what makes Neuesas even more ashamed is that he will not have any advantage in the rules of diplomacy. The "draft" of this armistice agreement alone was enough to make the foreign affairs staff of the previous Bi-Moon Church lose face.

Well? Gasping for breath, Noy Esas realized that something was wrong. The armistice agreement in his hand was not actually finished at all. I thought that the back was all the pages he had turned before, but after turning the page, he almost fainted from fright......

There was a single word neatly typed in standard Elta type, followed by two Chinese characters underneath - Noy Esas did not understand the meaning of those two square Chinese characters, but he undoubtedly knew Elta very well, and it was written on it -

"Appendix"

Neesas posed a black question mark .jpg, but he could only look at Yukrosatia, who was listening to the radio story with glowing eyes, and continued to look down and open the appendix - yes, who made himself not mentally retarded? Those who can work hard, hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of years have worked hard in such a daze, so this time they will continue to work.

"Specific war crimes include, but are not limited to, the following six major items and twenty-three sub-counts."

"1. Intentional killing of civilians and prisoners of war; (ii) Torture or humiliating measures and treatment of civilians and prisoners of war; iii. Intentionally inflicting severe suffering or serious injury to the body or health of civilians and prisoners of war; Fourth, unlawfully destroying or seizing property belonging to civilians and public society without proving military necessity. 5. Deliberately depriving prisoners of war and civilians of Erta of their rights under the Constitution of the Eta Empire, ......"

Noy Esas only felt that all kinds of letters were dancing in front of him, and he couldn't see clearly who was the father and who was the son, who owed the old king at the entrance of the village a bottle of wine, and who threw a pig's trotter at the imam of the neighboring village...... Before the first major item was finished, Ukrosatia, who was listening to the eight-o'clock drama on the fixed radio, heard a shocking snoring - her god friend was so tired and tired.

This night, I slept until dawn. During the night, Ukroschatia reluctantly threw Noesas into the bed and fell asleep on the other bed. As the new sun rises, Neuesas will face an even more intensive bombardment of information – that is, meetings for interpretation, discussion and revision of the text of the armistice agreement.

To say that it is "amendment" is actually just a fine-tuning of the terms that do not conform to the actual situation in line with the current situation of the Bimonthly Church, and it is not an option for the present world to bargain.

Neesas had long guessed that the people of the other world would not make any concessions, except for the terms of the armistice that favored the Bilunar Church (though there were very few). The truth is like this, what the winner gives is charity, give as much as you want, and then ask for it? Dream on! If you want to gain more or lose less, you need to have the chips to fight - but what chips does the loser have? I've long been a public toilet where I want to be on it, on what posture I want to be on, and on whenever I want.

This is the case with the current Bi-Moon Church. Neuesas, who arrived at the conference seat, still hated the organization he represented, hating the bastard who didn't have a head, didn't have eyes, and was still arrogant.

It is no longer possible for the Church of the Two Moons to cross the ocean that once walked on the ground. Their opponents have ships of steel as large as cities and flying machines that can cut through stratus clouds, and they are the masters of the sky and the sea. Challenge the Juggernaut, what will be the result?

"Those who resist progressives, both physical and spiritual, will eventually usher in complete destruction." This is what is written in the appendix, and the anger and hatred that the otherworldly people and the Elta people who helped to make the armistice may not be readable to others, but it is clear here in Neuesas - although Elta is officially called "a living god who hates war and seeks peace for the future of the Church of the Two Moons and Elta", he can still discern the slightest unpolished hostility projected directly at him from many corners of the city.

"I would raise my hand in favor of punishing soldiers and officers for doing things like harming civilians." Asked what he thought about the handling of war criminals, Neuesas replied almost out of thin air, "As for the decision to suppress the civil war in the Elta Empire by force in the first place, I think this can be slightly ...... Think about it a little. ”

"Well, it does take some thought." The moderator of the meeting did not object very bluntly, "What is the reason for this consideration?" ”

"It is the present god who makes the decision, my friend of God." Noysas coughed twice, "You should know a thing or two about the decision-making system among us, too, from the mouth of this person next to me. Public voting is based on the total number of votes cast. The number of votes for and against is then counted, and the minority obeys the majority. ”

"Limited democracy." The host smiled and replied, "And then you want to say that all the living gods who voted in favor of the vote are responsible for this?" And then those who voted against it, should not be included? ”

"Yes." Neesas glanced at Ukrosatia, who was a little disgruntled, she was one of the living gods who voted in favor, and as for himself, he was not there at all. "It's essential that we take leadership responsibility for this. But please do so in moderation. ”

"Naturally, it is. But Mr. Neuezas and Ms. Ucrochatia need not worry. This clause has nothing to do with you. ”

"Huh?"

The host shook the details of the regulations on the projection screen with the laser pointer in his hand, and the PDF immediately followed the path of the laser pointer with some red circles.

"Mr. Neuesas, you may not have read this clause carefully. All the high-level officials of the Bilunar Church and the Holy See related to the Liberation War of Elta and the opening of the portal, as well as all the personnel of the Forbidden Spell Research Society and other departments, must be extradited to Elta for investigation and trial. This is the original text. In the middle of the sentence, which is circled in red, we emphasize the term 'human' rather than the 'individual' that includes the gods and spirits of the world alongside the human race. ”

"That's right!" Noysas breathed a sigh of relief, "Then does this mean that my friends can be innocent......

"No, you are burdened with greater guilt. This is original sin. At the host's suggestion, the legal representative on the side came forward to point out the loophole of Neu Isas, "Under the rule of a few of you, the human beings in this world will never grow up and will never control their own behavior. ”

"A small, remote nation whose subjects are subject to the king of the earth. And the king of the earth. Most of them are subordinate to the kings of the great powers. The great powers use their authority to manipulate their people and the small states under them, forcing them to pay taxes and tribute in order to maintain their authority. ”

"Yes, but what does that have to do with us?" Ucrochatia, who had not spoken for a long time, asked unconvinced with a rare gesture.

"That's a good question." The legal representative, who is also the chief legal counsel to the State Council of Elta, coldly gave Yucrochatia a brief compliment, "You think they spontaneously defend their authority?" They have long been intermediaries in the exploitation of various national interests by the Bilunar Church under your control, but they don't know it. What they defend is ultimately the interests of the Bilunar Church, not the interests of all humanity. As for the king's interests, it is nothing more than the pocket money you give them. ”
