Xiao Rong looked at Zhao Weiguo with a heavy heart, although it was the middle of winter and there was no sun in the sky, but the festive color of the streets made Beijing not see any haze. Now the three-year-old children on the street know that the war is coming to an end, and the intervention of the Hai Song Army cannot defeat the emerging countries on the land of China. China is still China. Unless Hai Song still has the economy, he will send hundreds of thousands of troops from other places to gamble on a game. Otherwise there is no suspense at all.

In practical considerations, the elders of the Hai and Song dynasties must first put aside the strategic issue of the East Asian continent no matter what. Now there is simply no solution. Ten years ago, Hai Song was in this world, which was equivalent to a full-level god costume, and in the colonial era of the earth, the copy was opened and hung in Tuyou. Ten years ago, Hai Song could have said arrogantly that there was nothing in this world that Hai Song Sancheng could not solve. If there is, then fifty percent.

Gone are the days of such comfort. With such a large territory and population in East Asia, Hai Song is now unable to control it. The elders of the Hai Song Dynasty are not childish, and they are capable of doing such a thing as shelling coastal cities of the republic, but as soon as they do this, they will do it. Talk has to be talked. Xiao Rong must know where the bottom line of the Republic's expansion on land is.

Xiao Rong's eyes twitched as he watched Zhao Weiguo draw a very long line in Southeast Asia, dividing a large area of land in northern Southeast Asia into the territory. Even in the early days of Hai Song's business, the North Vietnam Coal Mine was also included in its own land.

Xiao Rong leaned back on the recliner, looked at Zhao Weiguo and said, "This is your plan?" Zhao Weiguo said: "This is the most reasonable demarcation plan in our opinion." Xiao Rong smiled and said, "Could it be that your country just blindly asks for it and doesn't know how to give it up?" ”

Zhao Weiguo smiled and said, "Then what are your requirements?" Xiao Rong drew the pen in his hand on the border of the Yalu River on the map and said: "If you can guarantee to withdraw from the Northeast Asian Peninsula." Then Xiao Rong drew a circle on the territory of Southeast Asia and said: "Except for the toe area, your requirements are more reasonable." ”

Zhao Weiguo smiled: "Just now we were talking about the disputed area under the current strength of the two sides. But you have brought the non-controversial zone to the table. Yes, too. ”

Zhao Weiguo continued to stroke his pen and divided the entire Sakhalin Island, saying: "Chao # Xian can give it to you, Sakhalin can also give it to you." But "Zhao Weiguo's nib is a little on Hainan Island and Taiwan Island." From the perspective of territory, the two pieces of land exchanged by Zhao Weiguo are far larger than the two islands in the sea. And Sakhalin is also rich in natural resources. But in the industrial age, the value of land was often not how many resources there were, but how many people the land could carry.

It can be seen from the changes in the layout of heavy industry in the 21st century that the layout of industrial zones in the early days tended to be a coal-iron composite zone, while the layout of industrial zones in the 21st century tended to be a zone with developed ports # transportation and a large population. Taiwan and Hainan are definitely better than Sakhalin and the Korean #Xian Peninsula in terms of economic value.

Xiao Rong's face suddenly stiffened. Zhao Weiguo is not a rookie in diplomacy, when he just drew the border, Zhao Weiguo did not have the habit of opening his mouth and then bargaining. The Chao # Xian Peninsula is now in the pocket of the Republican Army, and the Hai Song Dynasty guards several ports, and the Chao # Xian King has run to the Japanese archipelago political # to take refuge. More than 90 percent of the entire peninsula's rural population was under the control of the Republican Army.

Xiao Rong brought the DPRK #Xian, which has become a foregone conclusion, to negotiate, obviously opening his mouth first, and then preparing for diplomatic bargaining. However, Zhao Weiguo was very reciprocal at this time, and put forward reciprocal requirements according to Xiao Rong's requirements.

Xiao Rong said: "No, Taiwan and Hainan Island are not within the scope of this current discussion. Zhao Weiguo said: "Well, that's a pity, then the Chao # Xian issue is not within the scope of the current discussion...... Xiao Rong said: "No, in the North # Xian Peninsula your country's army is attacking us. That's what I'm going to discuss with you. Zhao Weiguo said: "No, there is no army on the #Xian Peninsula in the DPRK, only the remnants of bandits, and we are clearing these security obstacles." ”

Zhao Weiguo showed a smile: "Of course, Your Excellency Elder Xiao Rong, if you admit that you now occupy our country's Taiwan, Hainan's two historical inherent territories, and your country's army on the #Xian Peninsula, I can send someone to confirm it." ”

Through a brief conversation, Xiao Rong determined Zhao Weiguo's negotiation style -- strictly abiding by the standard of interests, like a wall, hitting it on it, returning as much strength as possible, and making any redundant demands, the other side will return and kick out the corresponding demands.

Taiwan naturally cannot be caught, this strategic position, Xiao Rong is going to give up, and the Hai Song Senate will definitely collectively scold him for being blind. Since the decision to put East Asia on hold does not mean that East Asia should be left alone, the island chain should be strictly guarded, and the influence of the Republic should be limited to the world island in all aspects. Once Taiwan retreats, the strategic encirclement in the Pacific will be opened. As for Hainan Island, it will be out of the way, and the Republic will have a base that can directly go to the South Seas in the future. The military budget of the Nanyang Islands, an important plantation base, is about to be raised. As for the North Vietnam region painted by Xiao Rong just now, it is also for Hainan Island, and the bay where Hainan Island is located, that is, the place where the Southeast Asian Peninsula and China meet the two vast lands, is called Beibu Gulf. The reason why Hai Song grabbed this place was entirely to block the Republic's infiltration into the South China Sea.

As for Xiao Rong still having a task to get Beiliang back, he didn't talk about it at this time because he deliberately pretended not to care, and after the agreement between the two sides was reached, he inadvertently asked for the exchange of this prisoner. Now, if it is mentioned, it is directly diplomatically ceding a conditional handle to the other side. In fact, because of Beiliang, Xiao Rong now wants to reach a consensus agreement more than Zhao Weiguo. Li Ziming, who was actually using mind-reading to control the field when he was writing on the side, smiled and said nothing.

Negotiations were at an impasse.

This kind of negotiation is a contest between the national strength of a big country, not an intellectual confrontation, and when the national strength arrives, it should be yours and yours, and it is useless to call a hundred times where the national strength is out of reach. Hai Song has no experience in major power negotiations, because before that, there was only one superpower in the world, and that was Hai Song. For the previous Ming Empire, the Hai Song Dynasty was a variety of hard power and soft means together, which was not only the glory of the central culture of the Ming Empire, but also the honorific title of the Ming royal family, the salute of the salute, the title of the knighthood, and the tribute gifts. There are also those officials of the Ming Empire who have opened their eyes to the world with hard power to tell them that their relationship with the Hai Song Dynasty cannot fall out, and once they fall out, it will be a hundred times more troublesome than a peasant uprising.

It's basically like an old farmer coaxing a big animal. As for other countries, there is no need for Haisong to face them squarely. If you don't accept it, you will be beaten, and you will be given candy after beating. It's as simple as that. Therefore, Hai Song also has no experience in diplomacy with major powers.

The diplomacy of small countries is one crying, two troubles, three threats, and snatching all kinds of interests like a vicious dog. is also like a stray dog who sees a chance to snatch, has a chance and the benefits seem to be very large, and sometimes even gambles on the fortune of the country. And the big countries directly draw a line for their interests, and those who are within the red line are mine, and if they step on the line, they have to pay the price, and those outside the red line, we will talk slowly.

On the Ren Di plane, after the five hooligans established the village committee in the global village, this kind of diplomacy was basically between the major powers. Even when the great powers were weakened at the time, they did their best to maintain this kind of diplomacy. Once the line is crossed, hit directly. A country that claims to be the three killings will not talk about it. Let's just say that a certain country that will never stir up trouble, when its national strength is weakened, it is targeted by Argentina. As a result, the challenger was beaten by the already declining island nation. Let's talk about Damao, the price of oil has been reduced, the more it faces Western sanctions, the tougher it is, Georgia will fight when it says it will fight, Ukraine will meddle when it says it will meddle, and there will be no ambiguity as soon as it is ambiguous.

Of course, only sufficient strength can maintain the ability to draw red lines. Only then can we have the confidence not to be moved by the diplomacy of small countries. Therefore, Xiao Rong just wanted to use the diplomatic methods of treating small countries to argue with Zhao Weiguo's vague concept. was directly blocked back by Zhao Weiguo. What national power plays what diplomatic rules.

Of course, the five hooligans are happy with each other about this kind of clown who dares to step on the line, because each side seems to be spying on each other's situation, whether they can maintain the power to draw a red line on the global village. Of course, if you step on the line directly, it will be a super war. Then instigating people who are not afraid of death to throw bricks at the red line is the best behavior of throwing stones and asking for directions. That's right, whenever a big hooligan is weak, when he looks so weak. Other hooligans can't help but be curious.

GDP is not enough to fully reflect the national strength, and only whether the war can be won can reflect the national strength of a country. TG was tested by a few guys who claimed to be the third in the world, and as a result, Da Mao and the American emperor were very satisfied with this method of throwing stones and asking for directions. Well, as for the later 21st century, basically no country dares to ask for directions for the United States, at most calling for dogs #food. Of course, this kind of drama may be staged on anyone's head in the future. The one of the five hooligans looks weak, and the other one is at risk of being stoned and asked for directions.

This is great power diplomacy, no country likes war, likes to become a poor egg and destroy another country. Since they have become great powers on earth, they are all successful people. Why bother to look at the success of others and make yourself unsuccessful.

Just like now Hai Song is very aware of the consequences of the Republic of China on the East Asian continent, this is directly the rhythm of grabbing the dominance of the Blue Star. However, the elders of the Hai Song Dynasty definitely have no idea of investing another million troops to gamble on the fortunes of the country. So we can only talk to each other.

Zhao Weiguo didn't say anything about Beiliang to make it difficult for Hai Song, because the issue of captives will be delineated in the future, and he directly put this matter up as a bargaining chip, which lowers the national character, if the country is low, the same thing in a small country can annoy you decently in the future, and toss you with the same conditions. If you directly delineate the rules for treating captives well with Hai Song. Then in the future, if a small country dares to mistreat prisoners in war, then it can be directly morally beaten to the death.

Zhao Weiguo quickly withdrew, the special diplomats of the republic began to be in charge of the negotiations, and on the Hai Song side, Xiao Rong also began to withdraw, and the relevant diplomats were foaming at the solid wood conference table.

And on the other side of the globe, in the Palace of Versailles in Europe, the handsome Frank held hands with Louise XV's daughter, Princess Louise Elisabeth. (Note: The history of this plane is confused, the Sun King Louis XVI died prematurely, at this time Louis XV was the father of Louis XV of the Rendi plane, the original historical Duke of Burgundy, history has changed.) ）

Princess Louis looked at the handsome man with affection, as if her heart had been shot by Cupid's arrow. Although the main business of the evolved officers is industrial production machinery manufacturing, but other things must also be learned, Zhao Weiguo learned the idea of redism, as well as a series of governing concepts. In the 21st century, this thing will be ridiculed as useless knowledge. But in this plane, Zhao Weiguo must learn to take this route. And the route taken by Calante is to learn business and financial ideas, as well as a series of Western aristocratic interests, and if he does not learn these things, he only has some industrial knowledge, and he will not be able to gain a foothold in the West. If you compare these two things and let Ren Di choose, Ren Di really doesn't have the time to argue with the upper-level people, and it is more realistic to engage in party building with mud legs. Anyway, you can preach the so-called benevolence without smiling at the skin.

When Hai Song's strategic gaze was attracted by the Republic and moved eastward. In the Great Lakes region of 30 million people, white turned-officers are ready to go to war. But first they intervened in Europe. In Western Europe, France intervened in the War of the Spanish Succession.

To the accompaniment of piano music, Calante gently held the princess in the white dress with her arms and completed the elegant dance movements. The beautiful style of his handsome men and women made the surrounding aristocratic men and women applaud. Calant's diplomacy was very successful, on the one hand, he sold France excellent rifle and artillery weapons, allowing France to overwhelm Spain. On the other hand, the idea that the Caucasian race should establish itself on the North American continent was promoted.

After a courtesy kiss with Her Royal Highness the Princess, Calant saw Louis XV greeting him and said to the beauty beside him, "Your father let me pass." Princess Louis nodded lightly on her cheeks.

When Callante turned around, there was a shrewdness in his eyes. In the experience of the evolution officer who is hundreds of years old, he is also very skilled in acting with the little girl.
