In fact, in the current negotiations, everyone has a tacit bottom line: the national territory is inviolable!

The disputed territory is an undetermined territory, and everyone can compete with each other, even if it is a bright fist. However, for the established, internationally recognized territory, all national negotiations have a bottom line! This bottom line, no matter how bad the situation is, unless the other party takes the initiative, the party who asks for it cannot take the initiative to speak no matter what!

However, now, the first condition of the negotiations between the master company and Russia turned out to be a claim to Sakhalin, and not the kind of lease for 100 years or something, but the most direct: cession!

I know that negotiations are very difficult, and the conditions of the master company will be very harsh! However, Leonid never thought that the master company directly broke the most basic bottom line in the world, and the first article proposed to cede the territory!

At that moment, Leonid's first thought was: turn around and leave!

However, in the scene, the three people from the master company, only these three people were present, and they all looked at Russia with a sneer. You're leaving!

Seeing the expression of the Russian, Li Changxing sneered. Since I decided to cut you, I also decided to make an example of killing you monkeys, of course, I won't simply say a slogan, but really want to go under the knife!

Bloodletting? Of course it is not enough, no matter how much blood you let go, wealth can be re-accumulated. But for a country, territory is equivalent to human bones, and once ceded, it is absolutely painful! Even, it is not impossible to cause cripplement!

In fact, in this negotiation with Russia, when Zhang Jingyuan proposed to claim Sakhalin, even Li Changxing was shocked. But it was not the ruthlessness that shocked Zhang Jingyuan, the plundering of Russia; But through this decision, it can be expressed: the master company needs a piece of land of its own!

In a practical word, that is, today's master companies have hard wings and want to fly solo!

This is the reason why Li Changxing was shocked. It is precisely because of this idea that when Li Changxing became the person in charge of this negotiation, he had already decided that all other conditions could be waived, except Sakhalin!

In fact, if any person, organization or country, wants to grow, it must step on the corpse of a loser as a ladder. And now, the master company has grown to a certain extent, and Russia is extremely "lucky" to be looked at by Zhang Jingyuan!

On the Russian side, Leonid looked at the sneers on the faces of the three people in the master company opposite, and his anger gradually calmed down, and as an excellent diplomat, he began to think calmly.

According to the master company's consistent strong attitude, and this condition is listed in the first place, it can basically be said: this condition is not allowed to change! Unless, again, you refuse to sign.

It's easy to refuse to sign, it's really easy, just turn around and go. But what about after that? Before coming here, Leonid, as a diplomat, of course, also learned about the situation in the country.

The space shuttle has been very successful, but the engine is a master company! So far, let alone imitation, the country has not even solved the basic problems. Every scientist knows the principle of discharge, but the strong ionic environment and the heat of more than 5,000 degrees make all the existing materials on the earth beyond the reach of dust. However, the engine of the master company uses an unknown material, which has not been cracked so far.

Several engines were dismantled, and the materials were analyzed from an atomic point of view, and under the current scientific and technological conditions, there was no difficulty at all. But there is no way to combine atoms, handle metals, and so on. In fact, there are no more than 30 metal elements commonly used on the earth, and this includes almost all technologies. But how much metal material is there on Earth? Tens of thousands? More than a few million!

However, most of these materials are difficult to replicate due to different processes, so it can only be said that similar materials are made under the condition of full understanding.

However, the materials of the master company are completely out of touch with the current technology from the basic structure, and all the Russian research institutes are at a loss, and the dismantled altar engine cannot even be installed back! Russia, such a huge country, dismantled three engines, with a cost of up to a trillion rubles, was scrapped like this, and nothing was gained. Oh, no, some of the design concepts of the master company are still there. It's just that this thing isn't worth much!

Therefore, before coming this time, the country also had ambitions for itself: at least let the master company open up the sales of engines, and if possible, get the engine technology at any cost! Yes, at any cost! But this so-called at any cost, as everyone knows, does not involve the homeland! Even when the United States is negotiating with small African countries, it will not just say: Cut a piece of territory to me! It is generally said: lease the territory for 99 years!

Refuse? It seems that this is how it should be. But what about the development of the country? Seeing that other countries' space shuttles have begun to fly successfully, and the master company is willing to spend a certain price to get a steady stream of engine support; On the other hand, our own country can only look up to others now.

After China cut off the transportation of grain and vegetables from the East, Russian society was already in some turmoil; And now with the progress of the world's space competition, Russia, which does not have the most cutting-edge space technology, can only watch its neighbors continue to catch up with itself, in the eyes of the country's leaders, the once huge Russia, the world's steamroller, has gradually reduced to the sheep of the steppe, is evolving into a white rabbit. And the neighbors around them are starting to change from beasts to humans with shotguns!

In order to catch up, Russia developed a 3,000-ton rocket, which can be called a monster of the world. But so what? The seemingly huge rocket, in front of the real space shuttle, is like a target!

To be precise, today's Russia, compared to China, is completely undefended! It is said that the second generation of Huaxia's Feilong fighter has begun to be installed, and the first generation has been completely established. It is a terrifying monster with more than 100 space shuttles and a speed of more than 7 times the speed of sound, which can fight at low altitudes and in space.

At the negotiation site, the two sides only exchanged texts, and then fell into an eerie calm. Leonid sat there for half an hour, the expression on his face contorted from anger to calm and helpless.

Li Changxing and the three of them watched quietly like this, and they didn't bother, and even the three of them tasted fragrant tea by themselves, leisurely. The initiative is completely in your own hands, there is no need to rush. If it doesn't work for one day, it will be two days, if it doesn't work for another month, and if it doesn't work again, it won't be a big deal! Go for it when your monkey goes!

This is the attitude of the master company, it doesn't matter! The world is so big, and outer space is even bigger! Today's master companies are really qualified to say: money is like dung. Out of money? The plane is dispatched, let's go to space to find a gold mine!

Compromise, continue negotiations? Or refuse again! Leonid fell into deep thought.

Finally, a full hour later, Leonid suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot: "I need to ask the top of the state." That's all for today, and let me leave. ”
