323 Negotiations
The Chinese fleet, consisting of fifty gunboats, drifted at sea for several days, and finally reached the sea off the port of Miura on the Japanese island of Honshu. Of course, they did not come here to fight, but to negotiate with the Japanese Union of Societies to discuss the issue of "exchanging firearms for the right to use Yokosuka" that the Japanese side took the initiative to propose.
The negotiation team of the Chinese fleet, led by the nameless of the Zhoushui Alliance.
On the Japanese side, Jiro Fukuda, the new president of the Federation of Clubs, personally appeared.
For various reasons, both the Chinese side and the Japanese side have shown a very low profile in this negotiation, and are unwilling to publicize the matter too much until a result is reached.
The negotiations took place on a small island at the southern end of the port of Miura, with the participation of ten negotiators from each side of the week. If Yokosuka is the gateway to Tokyo and the most important port in Tokyo Bay, then the port of Miura is the tip of Yokosuka's nose. And this small island is undoubtedly a small mole on the tip of the nose.
Located close to Tokyo, this area is the center of gravity of Japan and was originally a thriving commercial port with a large number of wooden houses, docks, warehouses and even a shipyard.
However, since the warships of players from Korea, Vietnam, and other countries frequently sacked the coast of Japan, the island has been deserted, and few Japanese players will come here. Occasionally, some Japanese players will come here with NPC fishermen, but they won't stay long because the coastal islands are very unsafe.
After the Chinese fleet arrived near the island, all the warships stopped two miles from the island, lined up side by side, and hundreds of cannon muzzles were aimed at the entire island, and then put down dozens of small boats, and the nameless escorted dozens of Zhou Shui players and 300 NPC heavy armor guards on the island in small boats.
On the island, there are already a large number of Japanese players and tens of thousands of NPC soldiers under martial law. Many Japanese players are looking at the behemoth on the sea in horror, China's five-masted warships are very huge, just the fleet on the sea to set up a formation, to the Japanese players on the island of great psychological pressure.
Nameless with the team. Boarding the 6 islands from the pier by boat was immediately greeted by Japanese players who were already waiting at the port.
A young Japanese player representative greeted him with a smile on his face, shook hands with Nameless, and said, "Nameless, look up for a long time!" "He speaks very fluent Chinese, not stiff Japanese translated through the in-game translator.
Nameless smiled, "Hello." What do you call it? ”
The young Japanese man smiled and said, "Show under the lower palace." Assistant to the President. The president has been waiting in the harbor for a long time. Please! ”
Nameless raised his eyebrows. I was slightly shocked.
He knew that there was a rumored Japanese player named Hideyuki Miyashita recently. This place is amazing. The entire Japanese archipelago was blockaded by warships of the Rio countries. He was able to smuggle weapons in a steady stream. It's not just smuggling from the Ayot army. It also includes smuggling from the coast of China. Even arquebuses, cannons, and gunboats produced by the Zhoushui Alliance can be obtained. Especially the extremely powerful gunboats. Although the number is minimal. But he still got his hands on it.
Now Japanese players have ground firearms in their hands. A large number of them were smuggled into the Japanese archipelago from this Miyashita hideyuki.
This Japanese player is very clever. Even Nameless was amazed and puzzled. As far as he knew. Every batch of firearms produced by the Zhoushui Alliance has strict production and trading records. Someone is in charge. And the gunboat is in the hands of the little white boss himself. It's impossible to lose to the outside. But. However, the Japanese players appeared in the hands of Zhou Shui's ground firearms. He had consulted Xiaobai Lao Dadi on this doubt. But the little white boss gave a mock reply.
Nameless can't be sure if the Miyashita hideyuki in front of him is the rumored Japanese player.
He nodded and smiled, "Please!" ”
Hundreds of people on both sides. Came to the only intact compound on the island.
Nameless led a large group of men and horses along the way, and saw that most of the Japanese PC troops who were in charge of guarding along the way were equipped with bronze weapons and iron weapons, but it was obvious that there were traces of frequent use, blunt, and it was likely that they were used on the battlefield. The clothes worn by NPC soldiers are also almost always linen, and morale is not high.
Nameless couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Japanese players are messing up enough now, and the NPC army in front of them is obviously the escort army of the president of the Association Alliance, and the vigilance task responsible for this negotiation is related to the face of the Japanese Association Alliance. It was impossible to come up with tens of thousands of decent weapons and equipment to cover up the embarrassment. This alone is enough to see the shortage of supplies for the weapons and military departments in the Japanese archipelago.
Jiro Fukuda, the president of the Japan Federation of Societies, was already waiting in the courtyard, along with dozens of important representatives of various Japanese congresses. The Japanese side attaches much more importance to this Sino-Japanese player negotiation than the Chinese side, and has sent representatives at the highest level, including the president, to participate in the negotiations.
In contrast, although Nameless also participated in this negotiation on behalf of the entire Chinese player, his specific position is only the deputy chairman of the Zhoushui Alliance, responsible for the commerce, trade and diplomacy of the Zhoushui Alliance, and his level is significantly lower. He was directly assigned by Qin Xiaobai to be in charge of negotiations, and he had more real power. The kind of representative with a lower position.
Fortunately. Japanese gamers are not in a position to care about whether these levels are equal or not, as a small family that has lost nearly half of it. They cannot expect the Chinese side to send a higher-level representative to discuss the issue. It is simply impossible for Chinese players to send the top players at the level of princes to negotiate.
Fukuda Jiro is a mediocre-looking old man, who can be called an old player, he was originally the president of Fukuda Club, and his status is similar to that of the president of dozens of major clubs in Japan, not the kind of top-notch person.
After Oda, the previous president of the "Eloquent and Eloquent" Japan Federation of Societies, was forced to step down because he failed in planning Operation Tamama, exhausted all the Japanese fleets, and Japan's general assembly societies were faced with an embarrassing situation -- no one was willing to take over the position of this hot chairman.
After Japan did not have a naval fleet, it was in a very bad situation, and the situation deteriorated day by day. Whoever takes over this position will face a lot of trouble, and it will be unsolvable troubles, and they will be forced to bear the responsibility for all kinds of defeats in wars and diplomatic failures. So now this president. It is equivalent to a scapegoat, whoever is on the road is unlucky, and no one is willing to take the initiative.
In the end, the presidents decided to vote for a president. As a result, Jiro Fukuda, who is relatively mediocre in all aspects, is an old man who acts conservatively. was unexpectedly pushed to the president and took over this hot position.
In the courtyard, negotiators from both sides took their seats and exchanged polite gestures, and then went directly to the subject of the negotiation -- the exchange of firearms for the right to use Yokosuka.
On the right side of the negotiating table are Nameless and ten Zhou Shui players, and on the left are Jiro Fukuda and ten Japanese presidents. Fukuda Jiro's expression was stiff and wooden, and he rarely spoke, and it was all the other Japanese presidents who spoke, and a series of conditions were prescribed. Fight for benefits.
A Japanese president threw out a bombshell and gushed out: "I suggest that we cooperate and negotiate in the following areas: 1. The Chinese side exchanges firearms for the right to use Yokosuka. Settlement is made weekly for two years. 2. Japan and China signed a peace agreement and an agreement on military and security cooperation and safeguards. 3. Yayo withdraws his troops and fully withdraws from Japan. 4. Japan and China are open to trade, and there are no restrictions on currency, raw materials, finished products, etc. 5. Establishment of a Japan-China high-level consultation mechanism"
The young Japanese player Miyashita Hideyuki stood behind Jiro Fukuda and whispered something to Jiro Fukuda from time to time. Jiro Fukuda didn't say anything, just nodded slightly or shook his head occasionally.
Nameless was not in a hurry to speak, but the Zhou Shui player next to him was saying something inconsequential.
Before coming to Japan this time. He asked Boss Xiaobai about the Sino-Japanese negotiations.
According to the judgment of the little white boss, the exchange of firearms for the right to use the Yokosuka land proposed by the Japanese players is just a brick throw, attracting Chinese players to negotiate. Their real purpose is not just as simple as exchanging firearms for ports, but to find a breakthrough to resolve the huge crisis faced by Japanese players.
Therefore, in this negotiation, under the pretext of exchanging firearms for ports, the Japanese side really wants to discuss issues related to Japan's future.
Chinese players also need to find a breakthrough to further deepen their interests in Japan. We should better control the situation in East Asia, thoroughly control the Japanese archipelago, and put an end to the possibility of American forces interfering in Asia at an early stage. This is the reason why the player representatives of China and Japan sit at the same negotiating table.
The chairman of Japan put forward more than a dozen Sino-Japanese cooperation proposals in one go, and then looked at Nameless, expecting Nameless to reply. Whether or not to accept the cooperation proposed by the Japanese side.
Nameless pondered quickly.
Article 1 proposed by the Japanese side, which provides that firearms are exchanged for the right to use the port of Yokosuka, is not a big problem.
In fact, the Chinese side can also directly send troops to occupy the port of Yokosuka without paying any cost to the Japanese side, but then there is less "cooperation" and it means that the two sides are always in confrontation. And the exchange. It is more cooperative and compromising in nature - Japanese players take the initiative to make compromises. Put your own safety in the hands of Chinese players.
However, almost all of the second, third, fourth, and fifth cooperation proposals made by the Japanese side were very problematic. It is simply impossible to agree.
Now that the whole of Japan is being confined to death by Yayo's army, if China and Japan carry out these cooperation, it will be equivalent to completely loosening the bonds of Japanese players and allowing Japan to recover its economy and military strength. This is equivalent to China, South Korea and other players in the past half a year of war in vain, that is simply impossible. Don't say that China doesn't agree, even the little brothers of South Korea, North Korea, and Vietnam who fought bloody battles won't agree.
After thinking about it for a while, Nameless said with a smile: "I have been authorized by the upper management to negotiate on the exchange of firearms for ports, so we can continue to negotiate Article 1 cooperation."
But Article 2, the signing of a comprehensive peace agreement between China and Japan must be decided by the Chinese prince-level player council. I'm sorry, but it's not something I can do at all. However, I can convey your request to my superiors, but I do not have the right to make any decisions and commitments.
Article 3, the withdrawal of the Ayo army, this is the decision of the Ayo military council, which is not something I can talk about.
Article 4, the opening of trade between Japan and China, I am sorry, I would like to see the opening of trade between Japan and China, but it needs to be fully coordinated. 5. The establishment of a high-level consultation mechanism between China and Japan is a good proposal, and I will convey it to the upper echelons. Personally, I would like to see Japan join the Asia-Covenant, but before that can do so, Japan must make a sufficient contribution to Asia's security in order to be eligible to join the Asia-Covenant. When the conditions are ripe, I think the upper echelons will consider the Japanese side's request. ”
After a pause, looking at the white faces of the Japanese presidents, he continued to smile and said: "All in all, except for Article 1, the other 20 articles cannot be included in our negotiations today. ”
