204 Agreed

The reason why Li Xiaofeng dared to delay and was not afraid of delaying was because he had the confidence to do so, because he not only knew that the economic situation in Germany was very bad, but the heads of the German government had already begun to be anxious and were eager to open up the situation.

Now he is the one who has the initiative, why should he be in a hurry? Seriously, let the Germans pay a little price, pave the way for a little good at the end of the war in the future, and slaughter the Germans, why not?

Sure enough, when Akimovich heard that a certain immortal was about to drag it down, he immediately became anxious: "Mr. Andrei, the Ukrainian issue and the grain issue we are going to discuss have nothing to do with each other, these are two things that do not affect each other, and they cannot be generalized!" ”

It seems that Akimovich is ready to reason with a certain immortal, even if he cannot force someone to make concessions, and fight for a little initiative in the next negotiation. It's a pity that he miscalculated, a certain immortal didn't mean to be reasonable at all, this thing snorted directly, and said disdainfully: "I think this is one thing, if you don't agree, then there is nothing to talk about between us!" ”

Now Akimovich was dumbfounded, he and his superiors discussed this issue for a long time, worked out a lot of methods and strategies, and thought that he had dealt with it in all aspects, but who would have thought that someone would not play cards according to common sense at all, and would not be reasonable at all. This makes the methods and strategies they have developed completely useless, how can this be carried out?

Again, Akimovich hurried away, again to ask his superiors. When he came back again, the helplessness and resentment in his heart could be imagined.

But for all this, Li Xiaofeng didn't care at all, why did he care about the feelings of the Germans? Historically, when the Germans used the Brest Treaty to slaughter Russia, did the Germans consider the feelings of the Russians? Power is right, and now that the initiative is with him, he still does not believe that the Germans will not make concessions.

Sure enough, Akimovich got straight to the point: "Mr. Andrei, according to your meaning." How should the dispute in Ukraine be resolved? ”

It should be said that the Germans understand what someone's temperament is. This thing is not a reasonable person at all, he can stir up three points of unreasonable things, not to mention that someone not only occupies the reason but also the right to speak, that is to say, someone naturally has the right to make random offers.

At first the Germans did not recognize this power yet. Trying to fool the past with a few casual sentences of official articles. And Li Xiaofeng gave them a blow to the head. Let them understand who the initiative is now.

Li Xiaofeng put his hands behind his head, leaned on the bed and spoke angrily: "The attitude of our government has always been clear. Your government must apologize and compensate the people of Ukraine, and any attempt to perfunctory with a few empty words is not permissible and unacceptable! ”

Akimovich's face is not good-looking, he thinks that someone's request is too much, in the previous Brest contract, you Russians have already taken a big advantage on the Ukrainian issue, you can't let us Germans work in vain, right?

And now Germany urgently needs this batch of grain and property looted from Ukraine, otherwise this war will not be fought at all. And now, you kid is actually using his brains on this issue, let's spit out the benefits of eating, this Nima is simply too deceitful!

"How is this so deceptive?" Li Xiaofeng sneered and said matter-of-factly: "If your country thinks that the Brest contract is so unacceptable, then you can completely disapprove it!" My country didn't force you to accept it, did it! Now, since our two countries have ratified this treaty, it is time to abide by the treaty and strictly implement its terms! May I think that your country has not taken the Brest Treaty seriously and is ready to tear it up at any time, as your country has violated the Treaty by vile means, and has behaved so justifiably? ”

Did the Germans have this in mind? I'm afraid that there is, historically, they really didn't take the Brest Treaty too seriously, and after the treaty came into force, they still sent troops to invade the Crimean Peninsula, ready to reap a little more benefits.

Moreover, according to the real thoughts of the Germans at that time, the reason why they signed the treaty was probably that there were other plans, and the Germans were probably preparing to withdraw their troops from the quagmire of the Eastern Front first, and attack in the direction of France with all their might, so as to solve the Anglo-French alliance and pacify the Western Front. That is, after winning this world war first and achieving a satisfactory result, then go back and slowly clean up Russia.

In other words, in essence, the Brest Pact was a delaying tactic for the Germans, a strategy of last resort. Once it can get out, then it is inevitable and necessary to deal with the polar bear.

Therefore, the Germans did not like the Brest Treaty very much, and they would tear it up as soon as conditions permitted. In a sense, both the Germans and Lenin were united in their attitude towards the Brest Pact – they both needed it only temporarily, and both had to make concessions in order to solve more important problems.

In a sense, the Brest Contract is a specific historical product born under specific historical conditions, and it is an unpleasant deformity. But for the time being, both the Russians and the Germans had to endure the nausea and hatch this deformed child against their will.

And now, Li Xiaofeng suddenly behaved aggressively, and put on an attitude of not taking the Brest contract seriously at all, which should be said to have given Akimovich a great shock. Because the Germans have always felt that they have suffered a loss in this treaty, and let the cowardly polar bear take a big advantage, but now the polar bears show disdain for this treaty that can save them, which will inevitably make them reinterpret the Brest contract and reinterpret the attitude of the Russians.

Truth be told, it helped the Germans to put themselves in the right position, as they were never victors, even if they made great progress and results in the February offensive, but if the polar bears were determined to fight to the end. They are still the ones who have no good fruit to eat.

For the entire battlefield of World War I, the Russian battlefield really did not have much status, even if Germany occupied the whole of Russia, it would not be able to win the war, on the contrary, the greater their investment in the Russian battlefield, the happier Britain, France, and the United States would be. For the Entente bloc, Hans went all out to fight Maozi, which was really a great thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Really. After Li Xiaofeng showed contempt for the Brest contract. Akimovich sobered up a lot, and starting in April, Germany was going to carry out a large-scale offensive on the Western Front, preparing to take advantage of the fact that the main forces of the Americans had not yet reached the European theater. Destroy France in one fell swoop. Typical basis for winning the war. In this case. There is no benefit at all in turning the other cheek with the Russians, they really don't have the extra forces to take care of the polar bears.

"Mr. Andre, I don't know what you just said!" Akimovich hurriedly said. "The Brest Treaty is a contract recognized by both governments, and both governments have pledged to abide by it. Although there are some minor problems in the execution of the contract, on the whole, everything is normal and is developing in a good way. In this case, we should be more patient, excessive words and actions will not solve anything! ”

Li Xiaofeng glanced at this thing contemptuously and sneered: "It's you who are excessive, I'm just telling the truth." If your country cannot give a reasonable explanation and explanation for the Ukrainian issue, we can only assume that your country has no sincerity in the Brest agreement. This will inevitably lead our government to re-examine this treaty and make corresponding adjustments and deployments! ”

Akimovich is really embarrassed, the other party is now clinging to the Ukraine issue, and piggybacking on the Brest contract to talk about things, which makes him not an ordinary embarrassment. To tell the truth, it is definitely impossible to spit out the benefits of eating, and if the other party does not forgive, then the negotiation will definitely collapse.

Akimovich took a deep breath and threatened: "Mr. Andrei, I hope you can recognize the reality that in the current situation, it is impossible for our government to make any commitments on the Ukrainian issue......"

Who would have thought that Li Xiaofeng was even more crisp than him, and directly made a gesture: "Then we have nothing to talk about!" ”

Akimovich looked at the index finger of a certain immortal pointing to the gate, and said that if he was not annoyed, it must be fake, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a muffled voice: "Mr. Andrei, I must warn you, do not think that that smuggling channel can solve all the problems in your country...... If my Government so wishes, we can reveal to your enemies the tricks you have played at any time, and it will be your Government and people who will suffer the losses and the calamities......"

Li Xiaofeng sneered again: "So you are threatening me, Mr. Akimovich, do you think I am a person who eats this set?" It seems that your government has not learned its lesson! Should I think about going to your country and blowing up a few bridges, or destroying a few warehouses, I think you will be more sensible at that time! ”

Akimovich immediately became anxious and shouted: "We signed a treaty, and the treaty stipulates ......"

Li Xiaofeng sneered: "The treaty also stipulates that you must retreat from Ukraine, and you must do nothing in the autumn, have you done it?" ”

Akimovich was speechless for a moment, in the final analysis, this matter is still the German government is not authentic, reluctant to return Ukraine to Russia with both hands, trying to do everything possible to do tricks, and now being pinched by someone to retaliate, I really can't complain about anything.

In the face of this stalemate, if it were to be replaced by the previous Akimovich, I am afraid that he would either be stunned on the spot, or just brush his sleeves away. However, after talking to a certain immortal so many times, it can be regarded as training this product, and this product is finally not so tendoned.

After a moment of silence, Akimovich spread his hands very calmly and asked: "Mr. Andrei, let's put it this way, the grain and property looted from Ukraine are very important to our government, and it is impossible for our government to give them up!" ”

Li Xiaofeng sneered: "Don't talk to me? Finally telling the truth? How nice it would be to be like this earlier! It's really going to be a bitch and set up an archway again! ”

Although these words made Akimovich very uncomfortable, he could only endure his unhappiness and continued: "Therefore, it is impossible for our government to give any explanation at the moment. But our government can assure that this is only a special case, a special case in exceptional circumstances, and there will be no next time! ”

While saying Akimovich, he paid attention to Li Xiaofeng's expression, and when he noticed that a certain immortal was still very disapproving. He was a little anxious, patted his chest and promised: "Our government can make a solemn promise that when the war is fully over, it will definitely apologize and compensate for the Ukraine issue, how about it?" ”

How can it be? If Li Xiaofeng wants to say what he thinks, then I'm afraid this guy will turn his head disdainfully and say, "It's not good!" ”

Indeed, this is pure nonsense, if Germany wins this world war, as the new world hegemon to replace the empire where the sun has set, as the new world world power. Why did he apologize for compensation? Maybe it's the other way around. Immediately, the lion will open his mouth and swallow Ukraine in one go, and in turn, he will ask Russia for new compensation, and if he can't use this excuse to send troops to Russia. Repair the polar bear fiercely.

It's very simple. How could robbers and hooligans be justified in the presence of their own superiority. It's the fist that's real. Anyway, Li Xiaofeng doesn't believe this kind of nonsense, so he doesn't have to think about it. This was the Germans' plan to delay the war, to first fool this unpleasantness through it, and then settle the general account after getting through the difficulties.

Such a little trick, how could Li Xiaofeng be fooled. He shook his head and said, "Although these words are still like that, it seems that your government still has a little sincerity to solve the problem. But I'm still the same old saying, it doesn't make sense to say it's empty, come up with something real! ”

Akimovich said with a wry smile: "Mr. Andrei, as I have just said, we are willing to ...... those grains and wealth that our government cannot compensate for for the time being."

"You don't want to!" Li Xiaofeng interrupted him directly, and he said with a calm face: "If you are really sincere and really willing to make compensation, then you should not just talk, but make a written guarantee." Clarify the compensation plan in black and white, this is a sign of sincerity! ”

Akimovich seemed to be in a difficult position, and he consulted his superiors for the third time, only to give the final reply a few days later: "Our government is willing to clarify the relevant legal responsibilities and give written guarantees...... However, Mr. Andrey, we must emphasize that these reparations can only be paid after the end of the war and the improvement of the economic situation in our country......"

Li Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, then make compensation at the end of the war, and we can discuss the specific time limit slowly!" ”

Akimovich breathed a sigh of relief, and with a long sigh of relief, he asked, "Now can we start talking about smuggling grain?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly, and replied easily: "Of course you can, but there is one thing I must say in the front, I will not import grain on your behalf, you go to the international market to buy grain by yourself, I only ......"

Akimovich hurriedly interjected: "Mr. Andrei, this is not good, our country must use your channels......"

Li Xiaofeng immediately snatched back the conversation: "Listen to me, you can express your opinion!" I don't care how you buy food, that's your business, I'm not interested in arguing with you over the purchase price of food, and you won't necessarily accept the price I quote, and I'm unlikely to agree to your price. In order to ensure the interests of both of us, the procurement matters are done separately, and I am only responsible for the transportation problem...... I will find a way to get the food security that you procure to your country, and your country only needs to ship the freight...... I think this kind of cooperation is beneficial to both parties and will greatly avoid unnecessary quarrels! ”

Such a scheme Akimovich did not expect, in fact, the country is more interested in smuggling channels, and apparently, someone wants to guarantee his superiority in this regard.

After thinking about it, Akimovich decided to agree first, not that he was not interested in the channel anymore, but that he felt that as long as the two sides began to cooperate, the channel would be clarified sooner or later, and there was no need to rush it.

Of course, before that, he had a few small questions to figure out: "If you are responsible for the transportation, if the food does not arrive safely in our country, who will be responsible?" Also, how to calculate the shipping cost? ”

"The issue of freight can be talked about slowly, but the ugly words are also said before, this price must be much higher than the general freight, you had better be mentally prepared!"

"Of course I know that," Akimovich shrugged, "smuggling, it's a lot more expensive, but safety must be guaranteed!" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly and said, "Of course, there will be a guarantee of safety, if the grain does not arrive in your country safely, then I will compensate you according to the price!" ”

Akimovich was taken aback by these words, this confidence is indeed quite amazing, to be honest, he really wants to know where someone's confidence comes from.

Li Xiaofeng naturally couldn't tell the truth, and he wouldn't tell Akimovich that he had such a cornucopia as a miracle, and he didn't need to worry about transportation problems at all. He just said: "As long as you buy freight insurance, once there is a problem with the grain, there will naturally be an insurance company to settle the claim!" ”

Akimovich almost suspected that something was wrong with his ears, and he asked incredulously: "Will there be an insurance company doing this kind of business?" ”

Li Xiaofeng gave him a blank look: "Of course there is, this insurance company is completely trustworthy...... Of course, if you don't buy freight insurance, then don't want any compensation! ”

Akimovich left in high spirits, and he was extremely excited by what he had achieved and what he had seen and heard, and felt that he had taken advantage of it. But he didn't expect that he had just left, and an unexpected person appeared in the ward of an immortal, uh, or this unexpected person had been staying in the ward, but under the effect of the immortal's immortal power, he didn't find it.

Lierwin looked at Akimovich's back, walked to the bed of a certain immortal, and asked puzzledly: "Why would you agree to the conditions of the Germans?" Don't tell me that they can't keep the agreement at all......" (To be continued......
