"What kind of lord title prince treatment, these vain things, my holy lord is not rare!"

"In the Star Sea Realm, my family's Holy Lord is the biggest, and he is not convinced to fight!"

The sage Ma Wenfang showed his attitude. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info A ghost mad lion and others who accompanied the negotiation opened their mouths one after another, leaving no emotion.

The Western envoys led by Prince Luo Lin had ugly faces, but they didn't dare to attack.

"That's it!"

The sage spoke. The group of animals immediately shut up, and the conference room fell silent.

"Your Excellency Luo Lin, we appreciate the kindness of your country, but so far, our Xinghai has no intention of accepting any party's gift." The sage looked at Prince Rollin with a smile on his face, and although his tone was gentle, he directly rejected the other party's proposal.

Negotiation is psychological warfare. While singing blackface, pretending to be white. Let the opponent mess up and expose his hole cards.

Of course, with the ability of a sage, he has already spied on the opponent's hole cards. Now the retreat is the advance, so as to exert strong pressure.

When Prince Luo Lin heard this, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, if you are not satisfied with the conditions of the grant, you can bring it up, and we have something to discuss." ”

Xinghai guards the golden waterway, and its strategic significance is extremely important. Fang Xiaobao's subordinates are strong, although they are not as strong as the two major empires in the east and west, but if they fall to either side, they will break the existing balance and have a huge impact.

Therefore, Prince Rollin was ordered to come to negotiate this trip, so that the remnants of Xinghai could accept the imperial gift and the two sides signed a friendly agreement, which was a task that must be completed.

Once Xinghai refuses to accept the gift, there is no doubt that it will definitely become the biggest hidden danger of the Saas Empire. He will not be able to account when he returns, and he will definitely be severely held accountable from the top of the royal family.

Prince Rollin's hole cards, or the hole cards of the Western Sass Empire, have long been mastered by the sage, and his heart is as transparent as a mirror. He made a gesture of declining the award, and another deputy negotiator, Ma Wenfang, played a round on the side.

"Except for some small misunderstandings between Xinghai and your country some time ago, in terms of the overall situation, they are still relatively friendly!" Ma Wenfang said.

After hearing this, Prince Luo Lin nodded straightly: "Yes, yes, Manager Ma is very right, you and I have always been friendly, unlike the ancient dynasty, which took the liberty of raising troops to attack and make reckless fights!" ”

This followed, following Ma Wenfang's words, and began to demean the side of the ancient dynasty, abusing and discriminating against the bereaved, and all kinds of inhumane legal behaviors. At the same time, it exaggerates rhetoric and portrays the West as the country that most freely respects human rights.

Ma Wenfang pretended to agree after hearing this, and then said slowly: "It is not impossible for my Holy Lord to accept the gift of Her Majesty the Empress of your country, but the premise is that we must meet several conditions!" ”

"Mr. Ma, please speak." Prince Rollin was beaming. This current mentality, as long as the conditions offered by Xinghai are not too harsh, he will not hesitate to agree. After all, it is important for him to complete the set tasks.

"First of all, even if the Holy Lord of my family accepts the gift of your country, it is clear that it belongs, and in essence it will not accept any constraints. The sea of stars is still the sea of stars, here the Holy Lord of my family is supreme, no matter who he is, no one can break the rules he has made! ”

This article, to put it bluntly, is that Xinghai only accepts symbolic gifts, and if the Sass Empire has the idea of jurisdiction or dispatch, don't even think about it.

The remnants of the Xinghai Sea strongly repelled the ancient navy and sat on the endless sea area, with a strong heritage and a climate. The Sass Empire admits the facts, and has no idea of governing or ordering submission, just to accept the feud and get by on face.

Therefore, after hearing this, Prince Rollin didn't even think about agreeing immediately. However, he also added that after accepting the gift, the two parties need to sign a mutual assistance and friendship agreement, and neither party shall act detrimental to the interests of the other party without authorization.

"That's fine." The sage agreed. The so-called friendship and mutual assistance agreement is equivalent to a paper covenant, and the two sides form an alliance and advance and retreat together.

Judging from the current situation, Xinghai's alliance with the Western Sass Empire has only benefits, not harms.

"Secondly, after the Holy Lord of my family accepts the gift, he should enjoy all the treatment, and at the same time, your country must show sincerity and give us the necessary assistance!"

Ma Wenfang continued to prescribe conditions, looked at Prince Luo Lin, and said with a smile: "After the award, no matter what the essence is, on the surface, we are all subjects of Her Majesty the Empress of your country...... The living environment of the subjects is not good, the infrastructure is poor, and Her Majesty should give some assistance! ”

This second article, to put it bluntly, is to ask for money and benefits.

Prince Rollin was not surprised to hear this. As a senior diplomat, before he set off for Xinghai, he had already listed the conditions that Fang Xiaobao might put forward one by one, handed them over to the royal family for review, and obtained the corresponding authority.

"That's fine."

Prince Rollin shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be humorous, "Her Majesty the Empress is kind and loving, and I believe that she will do her best to help all the subjects of Xinghai improve their living environment. ”

The specific assistance plan will be discussed later. But according to this person, as long as it is not too much, he will agree.

"Thirdly, about the captured ship personnel of the Principality of Magnolia."

Ma Wenfang looked at Prince William, who was attending the negotiations on behalf of the Principality of Magnolia, and said lightly: "You don't follow the rules first, which will lead to this unnecessary dispute...... It's your side, so to speak, that's at fault. ”

His meaning is very simple, it is no problem to release people and ships, but according to the rules set by Xinghai, take money to ransom.

"No, no...... Both belong to Her Majesty's subjects, and they should have friendly relations with each other, and even if you detain the goods, how can you still have a ransom! William shook his head. Resolutely do not agree.

"Then I'm sorry!" Ma Wenfang spread her hands. The attitude was simple, the ship was requisitioned, and the captives continued to work as coolies.

William wanted to argue, but was stopped by Prince Rollin's glare, and his mouth was closed, full of grievances.

"You provoked the matter, and it's not too much for Xinghai to ask for ransom!"

Prince Luo Lin is also an old oilman, first scolded William, and then said to the sage Ma Wenfang with a smile on his face: "The ransom must be given, but can it be discounted a little depending on the friendly relationship between the two sides!" ”

The sage Ma Wenfang glanced at each other. After that, Ma Wenfang said very happily: "Since Your Excellency Luo Lin has spoken, my holy lord will definitely give you this face. ”

20% off!

According to the original ransom amount, a 20% discount is considered a very discount.

William felt a little better and asked how much the ransom would cost. saw Ma Wenfang stretch out two fingers and shouted directly: "Two billion gold yuan!" ”

"What! Two billion gold dollars! Why don't you grab it! When William heard this, he jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Twenty-eight merchant ships, more than 6,000 prisoners, and two billion gold dollars from you, which is polite!" Ma Wenfang said unhurriedly.

Indeed, the merchant marines lost by the Principality of Magnolia, if converted into an amount, the asking price of two billion is not excessive. But William was unacceptable, the loss of goods was nearly 500 million, and counting the ransom, their Principality of Magnolia suffered a big loss, and the tax revenue could not be made up for in a year.

William was reluctant. Prince Luo Lin looked forward to the success of the matter, and hurriedly said: "Two billion is a twenty-percent discount, which is 1.6 billion gold dollars...... In this way, I will ask His Excellency the Sage and Director Ma for face, and make up a whole number of 1.5 billion! ”

After hearing this, the sage Ma Wenfang pretended to be very embarrassed, but in the end he still gave the prince face.

The ransom is 1.5 billion, and even half a copper is not enough.

Seeing the strong strength of Xinghai, even the empire is helpless, and of course a mere principality has no confidence to call it out. William couldn't agree if he didn't, so he could only reluctantly nod.

"That's right, everyone takes a step back, and we will still be good friends when we meet in the future."

When Prince Luo Lin said this, he looked at the sage Ma Wenfang, and asked with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency the sage, Director Ma, are there any other conditions?" ”

"Yes!" The sage nodded.

Ma Wenfang said: "We still have one last condition, as long as your country agrees, the Holy Lord of my family will come over immediately and accept the gift from Her Majesty the Empress." ”

"Please." Prince Rollin was very happy.

"The Holy Lord of my family needs something, and I hope Her Majesty the Empress can give it to you."

Ma Wenfang said slowly. This is the most important thing, and it is also the most crucial point, otherwise, with the current situation of Xinghai, he does not disdain the Sass Empire at all, and the other party will not be interested in giving more benefits.

Nowadays, if you want to get something like this, you have to make sacrifices. Even if there is a nominal 'vanity' sacrifice, it will not be hesitated.

"Meteorite! Extraterrestrial Meteorite! ”

When Ma Wenfang said what his holy lord wanted. Prince Rollin and Abella, a strong man of the God Worship Society, who had not been silent, immediately changed their faces.
