Chapter 70 Treaties
All this was completely unexpected by Qi Xiao, and he turned his head to look at the rugged, barren, dark land.
Quite unlike the beautiful sight of the city of Lagash where they were, it was a land controlled by death and fire.
Negar's soldiers shouted and rushed forward like a tidal wave, while rockets poured out in the direction of the volcano base like a torrential rain.
The torrent formed by the steel-tracked tank rolled forward and was unstoppable; The sound of explosions came and went, as if the sky was falling apart......
In that illusionary world, Qi Xiao was like a red light, up and down, flying and jumping, and countless soldiers died under his hands, as if killing a god in the world.
Negar's army charged, arrayed, detoured, and their tactics were almost invulnerable to the leaders of Lagash, but under absolute power, they were still destroyed in an instant......
After the video was screened, everyone was silent for a long time.
It took a long time for Abu Baba to speak: "It seems that the number of troops is meaningless, and the most important thing is quality. ”
Gatumdogh also cautiously agreed, and even Dumuji Abzi, who had been silent, showed some kindness.
After Nyingmar used this strange crystal device to show the battle scene between the earthlings and Negar's army, the negotiations went unexpectedly well.
This makes Qi Xiao feel that the so-called negotiation is actually a battle for chips, as long as you have sufficient chips, no matter how tall and forced the tall person sitting opposite you is, he will immediately want to make you explode!
"Tell me...... Your Excellency, how exactly does Lagash intend to help us? With this episode, Ian once again controlled the pace of the negotiation and was at ease.
Qi Xiao, who couldn't interject on the side, was glad that Ian was able to take over the work at this time.
He creates the illusion of equality in a situation where both parties are completely unequal, and he smiles, nods frequently, and constantly compliments others.
So that the other party does not feel the domineering of the two young people, but also seems to respect and trust each other, when the other party is talking, he can be a good listener, and can positively affirm everything about Lagash.
Although the people of Lagash were generally slender, elegant, proud, and long-lived, Ian was among them a man of rare beauty.
The Lagash people were mostly more or less hostile to outsiders, and in the eyes of people like Dumuji Abzi, human beings must be greedy, untrustworthy, and untrustworthy.
People like Xiang Qixiao are bound to be good at fraud, and maybe they will massacre the people of Lagash in the future.
But Ian's natural beauty and astonishing patience made the Lagash people immense favorable, and this natural affinity played an almost irreplaceable role in this difficult negotiation.
Although Ian's conversation was full of in-depth exploration, under his smooth communication and flexible detour tactics, Lagash quickly leaked his cards.
This kind of major diplomatic negotiation is actually no different from playing cards.
Ian has a good hand, so he is not in a hurry at all, just patiently waiting for the other party to say, let the other party make the first move, and then he sees the move and makes a move, so that he can take a good time and not bother with any mistakes.
By the time the opponent was dazed, Ian had gathered enough information to accurately judge the situation on both sides, and everything was already in place.
"We know that in the past, we haven't dealt with each other much, and both sides may have some scruples. But now, we pledge to use our power to protect your city, and pledge in writing to do so. ”
Ian said.
"And what price do you need us to pay?" Ah Bao asked calmly.
"Food, the stargate is closed, and our food is in a state of less and less, and it is bound to become gradually scarce." Ian came up with one of the simplest conditions for Lagash.
At the same time, this is also the most indifferent thing for the Earth Expeditionary Force, which is self-sufficient in the planetary fortress, and the living materials are enough for them to use for more than two years.
But this, Lagash did not know,
Ian first proposed a simple matter, first to test the sincerity of the other party, but also to prevent his subsequent demands from scaring away his new allies.
Several archbishops asked each other with their eyes, even if they were facing each other at this time, Qi Xiao seemed to hear that kind of whispering in private.
Soon, a faint halo appeared on Ah Bao's body, and he gave the answer: "Yes, we can produce enough food for you,
Qi Xiao looked at the "plant" in front of him, the ice-blue light on his body continued to flow, and it shone brightly for a short time, almost suspecting that his eyes had an illusion. Its strength was clearly far superior to that of several other archbishops, and the Frost Crystal clearly had a kind of stability and peace that most creatures did not have.
He muttered a sigh: "Ragash's food, can you really eat it?" ”
His role in this negotiation has been lackluster, and it is no more than a gag role.
Obviously, by this time people had completely ignored his ideas.
Ah Bao asked directly: "And then, do you need our army to fight for you?" ”
"Nope." Ian smiled politely, "You can't let your new friend die for you, it's immoral, and it's not a gentleman's doing." ”
"We need to redraw the boundaries and plan the shelters, and now it's not the most urgent, but it's not too far off, and we need to be prepared not to mess up with these little things." Ian said with a harmless smile, as if what he was saying was really a trivial matter.
"You mean, we need to cede some of Lagash's land to you?" Bud unceremoniously debunks the veil of Ian's warmth and goes straight to the problem itself.
"No, no, I think you may have misunderstood what I meant, my idea is to rent, or lend, we lease a piece of land so that we can train our troops, scout our opponents, and help you defend your homeland." Ian immediately stood up and explained.
"Because the volcano is not particularly stable, we have a lot of damaged things that need to be repaired, as well as store some materials used...... Ian knows that this topic is an extremely sensitive topic, this planet is already a relatively civilized society, and the issue of territory and territory is the core interest of a country.
But he still has to try.
"I can promise you." Bao continued to say calmly.
"Thank you for your understanding." Ian bowed respectfully to it, then walked back to his seat.
Qi Xiao glanced at him, sighed, and looked out the window: "I remembered the Sino-British Treaty of Nanjing. ”
