020 Armistice
Speaking of task 3 released by the system, Lin Fan has a lot of conjectures.
First of all, the system will never publish meaningless tasks, nor will it give meaningless rewards.
Last time, I suddenly gave myself a personal ability, mecha piloting, and this time I suddenly released a mission, and the reward was to upgrade mecha piloting to A.
This made Lin Fan care a lot.
As a human with an explosive IQ and a highly developed brain, Lin Fan quickly guessed hundreds of possibilities.
However, Lin Fan believes that the most likely thing is that he will experience a certain situation in the future and will need to use the mecha piloting ability.
However, this is not what Lin Fan has to think about now, at this moment he is still more curious about the legion commander of the Oaks Empire mentioned in the system mission.
He remembered that the other party told him that there were only ordinary negotiators, but Lin Fan would not doubt the system, since the system said it, it was certain.
Soon, the personnel of both sides entered the makeshift space station, which was arranged with a long table and a row of six chairs on the left and right.
After sitting down, Lin Fan looked at the 6 Oaks people opposite, and quickly keenly locked on the one sitting at the top.
Obviously, you can feel the momentum of the superior from him, which should be the commander of Adams as the system said.
Feeling Lin Fan's gaze, Adams looked over with his eye-catching eyes.
"This shouldn't be a negotiator, right?"
After Adams looked at Lin Fan for a few seconds, he smiled and said casually.
"Indeed, he is the commander of the fleet escorting me, not a negotiator, the negotiation is in charge of the five of us, he is just an observer, Your Excellency does not have to care."
Ed, who was also sitting in the first place, also responded immediately.
However, Ed was still a little surprised in his heart, the other party was really sharp, and it seemed that the negotiation would not be too easy.
"Since you say so, then do it! We can get started! ”
"Okay, what we are mainly talking about today is the handling of the Nine Emperors of your empire."
"Hmph, let's be straight, what are your conditions?"
"It's very simple, you have withdrawn from the solar system, you have occupied all our alien system territories, there is no need to kill them all!"
"This is impossible, today I promise you, tomorrow I will be executed by the emperor, change conditions!"
"Our federation only has this one condition, if the Nine Emperor Princes have an accident, I don't think you can bear it, right?"
"Again, if the Nine Emperor Princes die, the emperor will execute me, but if I promise to withdraw from the solar system, the emperor will also execute me, so it's better for you to change to a realistic condition, otherwise it won't be negotiated."
It's really difficult, Ed thought silently.
However, I don't think the other party is lying, but if this is the case, then it is destined to be impossible to get the other party out of the solar system.
is also dead, and the other party will also choose a way to die that can have a good reputation, after all, it is not a reputation to be threatened to retire.
So where is the breakthrough? Ed couldn't help but have a headache.
"In that case, how about changing the conditions to a ten-year armistice?"
At this time, Lin Fan, who was sitting at the end, spoke, and Ed and the four people he brought turned their heads to look at Lin Fan in surprise.
"Sorry, we need to discuss it internally."
"Feel free!"
On this space station, there is a room on each side, dedicated to this situation.
After Ed's eyes signaled to Lin Fan, he immediately took the lead and walked to a room on his side.
Lin Fan smiled bitterly and stood up and followed.
"Lin Fan, I remember saying that you were just here to observe!"
"Uncle Ed, I think it's necessary for me to give you some knowledge from a military perspective! Otherwise you will make a wrong judgment! ”
"Huh?"
After hearing Lin Fan's answer.
Ed's initial displeasure slowly turned into curiosity, did he really miss something important?
"Uncle Eddard, why do you think we are able to maintain a temporary standoff with each other at this time?"
"Because Liang Xingchen beat them in the asteroid belt 6 years ago, they will not be willing to fight us in the asteroid belt again before they are sure!"
"That's right, then, if the other party agrees to withdraw from the solar system, will the Federation dare to go out from the asteroid belt? If not, what's the use of letting the other person quit? ”
"Ugh!"
Ed was stunned by Lin Fan's words all of a sudden, yes, even if the other party withdraws from the solar system, will we dare to go out from the barrier of the asteroid belt?
If nothing else, let's talk about the only surviving Fourth Fleet of the Federation.
Once out of the asteroid belt, the other side will come back with a rifle, and the human race will no longer have any more soldiers to fight.
You know, if it weren't for the asteroid belt, you asked Liang Xingchen to have 20,000 warships to deal with more than 100,000 warships, isn't this looking for death?
In space, where there is no environmental terrain to speak of, the two sides compete for the performance of the battleship, the commander's formation, artillery bombardment, evasion and other capabilities.
If the capabilities of the commanders of the two sides are not far apart, the performance of the battleship is the decisive factor, and then everyone knows that the battleships of the Federation are not as advanced as the warships of the Oaks Empire.
That's why the First to Third Fleets have never won a single battle in the neighborhood, Barnard, and the Celestial Garden.
The number is not comparable, the performance of the battleship is not comparable, and no one has added more experience to the commander, so what can be used to win?
So, does it really make sense to offer the other side to withdraw from the solar system now?
It doesn't make sense at all, and not only that, but it also wastes one of the cards in your hand.
"Uncle Ed, you should know about the Curvature Engine, right?"
Looking at Ed's expression as if he had figured it out, Lin Fan also continued to speak.
"I know, for this reason, your old man is not less sneering in front of me!"
"Uh... It turns out that the old man still has this side, I really don't know... I digress, so what we need at the moment is not for the other side to exit the solar system, but for time. ”
"When?"
"That's right, when our curvature engine is fully installed, that is, when our counterattack begins, and Uncle Ed should also know about industrial robots, when we apply it in large quantities, the speed of building ships will increase several times."
"So, what do we really need is time?"
"That's right, time, nothing else makes sense!"
"Okay, I understand, I'm really convinced of you kid now, the military is evil, the scientific research is evil, but the way I look at things is still demonic..."
"Hehe, uncle praised it, let's go out!"
Soon, the two returned to the negotiating table.
"Sorry, rude, let's get on!"
"Yes, but you don't have to mention the impossible conditions, otherwise it's a waste of time."
"Then according to what Lin Fan just said, let's change it to the condition of a ten-year truce!"
"I can agree to this condition, but when are you going to return it on the Nine Emperors' side?"
"Naturally, it will be returned after the 10-year period"
"Impossible, what will you do if you threaten the Nine Emperor Princes again in ten years?"
"Then I wonder what your opinion is?"
"If you want to return it afterwards, I promise it to be five years at most, and if you return it now, I can promise ten years!"
"It's impossible to return it now, what if you don't admit it?"
"Okay, that's five years!"
Lin Fan didn't want to listen to the rest of the content anymore, it was almost the same as bargaining in the vegetable market.
After all, it doesn't matter to Lin Fan whether it is 5 years or 10 years, what the two sides are fighting for now is nothing more than the final victory in diplomacy.
If the final negotiation is ten years, it will give people the feeling that this negotiation is a victory for Lin Fan, but if it is five years, it will give people the feeling that it will be a victory for the Oaks Empire.
According to Lin Fan's estimate, it is likely to be 7 or 8 years in the end, and in the end, everyone will take a step back and reach an agreement.
As Lin Fan expected, the final agreement reached between the two sides was 7 years.
But just as everyone was about to sign the formal agreement, the accident happened again.
