Chapter 688: Negotiation

readx;

The early morning sun shone on the wide floor-to-ceiling windows of the Baghdad International Hotel, and McFarland, wearing his pajamas, looked at the scene outside the window, knowing that this new day had come again, and today, he was going to start formal negotiations with the Iraqi side, hoping to persuade the Iraqi side to stop using force and solve the problem peacefully.

He used a spoon to shake the coffee cup in his hand, and then, put the coffee in it into his mouth, took a sip, bitter, but in this bitterness, there is a very fresh feeling, McFarlane drinks coffee, it will never add sugar, and only in this hotel in Iraq, there is such pure coffee, which is freshly ground from coffee beans imported from Brazil, and the kind of coffee produced here has a strange taste.

McFarlane had saved up enough of his mind, and at eight o'clock, the embassy car took them to the Palace of the Republic.

The delegation of the United States, in a conference hall at the Palace of the Republic, met with the Iraqi side represented by Tariq, who had received them yesterday.

Sitting across from Tariq, McFarlane knew that the most important confrontation was about to begin. ≦≧

The friendly atmosphere of yesterday's welcome is gone, and now the atmosphere is a little tense.

"This dispute in the Middle East is a tragedy that can be avoided by both the Arab and Israeli sides, and now, before the situation deteriorates further, we hope that this dispute can be stopped." McFarlane said.

"The cause of this incident. It is the development of nuclear weapons that has seriously jeopardized the peace of our Middle East region. In order to maintain the denuclearization of the Middle East, we must destroy the nuclear bases in the sè column. We were absolutely right in doing so, but they were fully responsible for the consequences of the air raids that they had brazenly launched. Tariq said.

"It is indeed a mistake to develop nuclear weapons in the form of sè. We, the United States, are already putting maximum pressure on Israel to abandon the development of nuclear weapons, but. ≦≧All this needs to be done under international law, and if you send warplanes to bomb the other side's nuclear facilities, it will be a bit inconsiderate, and we must settle the dispute by peaceful means. McFarlane said, to sè column to develop nuclear weapons, up to now. It has been recognized by the whole world, and even the sè itself has released a nuclear deterrent, so there is no point in denying this, Macfarlane pointed out that it is not right to sè lie, but. This should also be handled by the United Nations, and you just ran over and bombed it yourself, and it would be a little wrong to do so, and you are not the world's watch.

"The peaceful way?" Tariq said: "Three years ago, our peacefully used Oshirak nuclear reactor, which had just been successfully built and had not yet been put into use, was blatantly bombed by aircraft of the Israeli column, which was only a civilian nuclear project, and was rudely bombed by the Israeli column, what was your country's reaction at that time?" Since we have not yet met with your opposition to the fact that we can strike at our civilian nuclear programs at will, what is wrong with us bombing the bases that are indeed used to build nuclear weapons? Why do you always have a double standard on these two same issues? ”

McFarlane knew that the other party must say this, and he continued: "After that incident, we in the United States also condemned Israel and delayed the delivery of the fighter planes they ordered, and we in the United States absolutely did not make double standards, otherwise, we would not have come here to discuss the solution to the problem this time, please believe in our sincerity, we are here to find a way acceptable to both sides to end this dispute and restore peace in the Middle East. Return to normal life. ≦≧”

"So, what do you have to offer?" Tariq asked.

As a diplomat, Macfarlane could go on and on for three days and three nights, and he couldn't get around the subject, but that was no longer the case, when the armies of the Arab countries were on the border, and they would enter the territory of Israel at any time to start a large-scale ground war, and he had to be quick when Israel could throw nuclear bombs on the heads of this army at any time.

"War is a tragedy for both warring sides, and now that you have bombed the Dimona area and the air base in Israel, and Israel has also dispatched warplanes to carry out an attack on you, it can be said that both sides are wasting precious social resources and engaging in such a senseless war, so we hope that you can withdraw the troops deployed on the Jordanian border to end this tense confrontation and bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion. ≦≧," McFarlane said.

Let's withdraw the troops? That's it? Tariq said: "Mr. McFarland, we thought that you had come to our Iraq, and that we had helped you, and that you would consider this dispute from our standpoint, so we are here to consult with you and your delegation, and if you give such terms, then there is no point in us talking any further, we still have important things to do, and I wish you a pleasant trip to Baghdad!" ”

Originally, negotiation was a process in which the two sides set conditions and then gradually bargained, McFarlane knew that if he said this, the other party would definitely not agree, and then he would talk again, but he didn't expect that if he didn't say a word, the other party would leave, so how could he continue to negotiate?

"Mr. Tariq," said Macfarlane, who had seen Tariq stand up, "and we can negotiate these conditions slowly and find an outcome that is satisfactory to all of us." ≦≧”

Sluggish? Tariq said: "Mr. McFarlane, we attach great importance to your arrival, and we also know that once the war starts, there will be no negotiations again, so we want to find a way to end this dispute that satisfies us, so our soldiers on the front line have been waiting for the results of our negotiations, just yesterday, when you arrived, our Arab high-level countries have already adopted a plan for the full start of military operations last night, if not for your arrival, now, our armored forces, I'm afraid it's already driven to the Negev region. When our president learned of the news, he temporarily decided to postpone the offensive for the time being and wait for the outcome of our negotiations, but we absolutely did not expect that your proposal was to let us unilaterally withdraw our troops as the end of this time! Because yesterday our president's proposal to suspend the offensive has already made other Arab countries express their dissatisfaction, if we unilaterally withdraw our troops, then how will our Arab brothers view us? We regret this insincere offer from you, and you can choose to stay in Baghdad, because the whole of Israel is about to fall into war, and it is already dangerous for you to travel to Israel again. ”

In fact, the Arab army is now putting on a show, although they are completely prepared, but when they are not absolutely sure, they have no intention of attacking the Yisè column, and when the time comes, it will not be cost-effective to lose both sides and consume the most elite strength of the Arab army there.

If the negotiations do not achieve absolute results, then Qusay is already planning the second step of the strike and continues to exert strong pressure on the Israeli army, that is, to paralyze the enemy's air defense forces and the offensive of the ground forces, it is absolutely necessary to be extremely cautious. It's just that in this case, the Arab air force will suffer certain losses, so Qusay is waiting for the results of this negotiation, and he believes that Tariq will carry out this successful negotiation.

Tariq will of course carry out this negotiation very smoothly, the United States, with high arrogance, although it is an acquaintance McFarlane, but this person did not show too much gratitude for the help of the Iraqi side last time, or rather, this is the usual way of the United States, so, first of all, he has to strike down the arrogance of the other side and make the other side bow his head!

Sure enough, at this point, McFarlane was bluffed.

This is because he does not know that Iraq is not ready to start a war, and in the current situation, their war will escalate at any time, and once a war starts, it will absolutely not be in the interests of the United States. Otherwise, why did he come all the way from the United States?

This negotiation can't be messed up by him.

"So, what do you want?" McFarlane said that in the negotiations, whoever shows off his hole cards first will definitely suffer in the end, because some of these hole cards will still be bargained, which is why McFarlane refused to give more benefits to Iraq just now.

Tariq was waiting for this sentence, because Iraq's conditions, even if the other side only agreed to half of them, were very shocking.

"This incident was completely caused by the development of nuclear weapons, and Israel must sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and accept the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency at any time, and at the same time, the existing nuclear weapons must be destroyed under the supervision of the United Nations weapons inspectors." Tariq said.

Hearing this condition, McFarlane frowned, I am afraid it will be difficult to get Yisèlie to agree to these conditions, if Yisèlie agrees, there will be no such problems a long time ago.

"You have imposed sanctions on us, because we have carried out strikes on the Israeli nuclear facilities, and now it has been proved that our strikes were not wrong at all, so you want to stop all sanctions against us and resume the previous cooperation." Tariq continued.

This is something McFarlane has been prepared for a long time, and the sanctions are in the hands of the United States, and it is okay to lift the sanctions and choose to resume cooperation in a positive place.

Hearing this, McFarlane began to spin rapidly in his mind, how to convince the side of the sè column and agree to the first article is very difficult, and it is also something that he must solve, because the attitude of the US side is also that the sè column cannot possess nuclear weapons.

He didn't know that compared to the following requirements, the first two items were simply too lenient. (To be continued) RQ
