Chapter 471: Sky-high asking price
Dedicated conference room for negotiations.
The Empire's diplomatic ambassadors sat on one side of the oval table, and Thea and Vega sat on the other side.
The subject of today's negotiations is very clear.
That is the question of the 70,000 prisoners of the Empire, and the ransom of several generals.
As soon as the negotiations began, after a brief politeness, the empire went straight to the point.
Because Vega hung the imperial envoys for ten days for no reason, and now that the imperial government has no intention of ransoming the prisoners of war, the ambassadors who were sent to negotiate with the dynasty gradually could not withstand the pressure and began to become impatient.
That's what Vega wants.
Therefore, he sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai and waited for the imperial envoy to pull out the chips.
The young diplomat led by Delos Le Jal and the other accompanying diplomats glanced at each other, and then first began to explain to Thea the plan for the redemption of the prisoners of war.
"Your Majesty, the Queen. ”
Delos looked at Thea with sincere eyes and said: "First of all, I am extremely sorry for the harm caused to your country by this war, and secondly, I would like to ask your country to make it convenient for us to extradite our soldiers and officers back to China, which is the compensation plan given by our side, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look at it." ”
As she spoke, a document was handed to Thea.
However, Xia Ya did not open the document, but handed it to Vega beside him, and Vega did not delay it, and directly opened the negotiation plan in front of a group of diplomats from the empire.
Vega's move made the faces of the Imperial diplomats look a little ugly.
After all, Vega's current identity is a traitor to the empire, and sitting at the negotiating table is equivalent to indirectly not giving face to the empire, and now Xiya's actions are even more insulting to the empire in their eyes.
Need to know.
The empire is a military power, and as diplomats of the empire, they have always been superior in other countries, only they throw the faces of other countries, when have they been treated like this.
If it weren't for the burning eyebrows now.
The pressure from above exerted a huge pressure on him, and he gradually couldn't bear it, and the diplomat Delos estimated that he was going to turn his face on the spot.
Vega certainly noticed this.
However, he didn't care at all, and it wasn't the first time that Vega, the pride of the empire, knew that if you didn't hit the other party's painful blood, they would never know what respect was.
Therefore, under the angry gaze of Delos and the others, Vega quickly finished reading the entire plan.
This plan can be summarized into three main points.
First, the empire first moved out of the contract, condemning the fact that the dynasty had attacked the black gold city in disregard of the agreement, and at the same time demanded that the dynasty return the black gold city and compensate the empire for the loss of about 50 million general gold coins in the city defense.
This is a common negotiation technique between countries.
In short, whether things are right or wrong, find a reason to put you in a passive position first, and at the same time impose a bunch of charges on you, so that you can bargain unscrupulously.
The second point of the program.
The empire allowed the dynasty to release 70,000 prisoners and generals in the concentration camps, and of course the empire could compensate double the living resources consumed by the prisoners of war these days, as well as some of the indirect losses of the dynasty, in the form of 10 million universal gold coins.
The third point of the program.
The Empire demanded that the Dynasty surrender Vega the Traitor, and that by surrendering Vega, the Empire could promise to restore the covenant with the Dynasty and never use any more troops against the Dynasty.
Seeing this, Vega burst out laughing.
The arrogance of this empire has once again refreshed the lower limit of Vega, and at this time there is still a big tail wolf, unless the empire now abandons the battle line operated in the kingdom of Dragons, it is impossible to have extra troops to attack the Holy Dynasty.
Vega wasn't angry, though.
Negotiating, it was originally a sky-high asking price, and then sitting on the ground to pay back.
After reading the so-called "plan" provided by the empire, he also launched a negotiation plan formulated by Qi Lisi, which seems to have the meaning of a tooth for a tooth, and it is also three points.
First, the dynasty condemned the empire for seizing the entire upper reaches of the dynasty's west bank despite the alliance after taking the black gold city, and trying to send troops to the middle of the river, so the empire needed to compensate 200 war airships.
Article 2 of the programme.
The dynasty can release captives and high-ranking Imperial generals, but the Empire will need to compensate for this with 300 war airships.
Article 3 of the programme.
Since the Empire took the initiative to break the covenant and seriously hurt the friendship between the two countries, the Empire needed to annul the transfer agreement of the Black Gold City and cede the important city of Ellkia in the eastern part of the Empire as compensation.
Vega's three points come out as soon as they come out.
Delosston, a diplomat on the Imperial side, blushed with anger.
Let's take a look at the first one, the empire is indeed the first to lose, and the compensation is also a matter of course, but what is the concept of 200 war airships? This is enough to form a standard air corps.
Article 2: It is also reasonable to demand compensation for the release of prisoners.
But the number of 300 war airships is simply more robbers than bandits, and this is not a negotiation at all, but a robbery.
And one last one.
The transfer agreement to abolish the Black Gold City was indeed expected by the Empire, and the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs also gave power to Delos, but the dynasty still wanted the Empire to cede the important city of Elkia in the east?
What is Ellkia?
If the Black Gold City is the gateway to the upper reaches of the Western Bank of the Holy Dynasty, then Elkia has the same status as this Black Gold City in the eastern part of the Empire, and belongs to the kind of city that is absolutely impossible to give up.
Delos has handled dozens of international negotiations.
He had also seen countries that were asking for sky-high prices, but they were all on par with their national strength, but this small dynasty was even more exaggerated than those countries, and proposed these plans that they would never agree to.
Delos had seen it.
The imp sitting across from him wasn't here to negotiate at all, but to watch him laugh.
So he stood up and pointed at Vega and said, "Shameless! Shameless, I tell you, our country can only pay a maximum of 150 war airships as compensation for this war and the redemption of prisoners of war, and we will never agree to other conditions." ”
After a roar.
Angry that he couldn't contain Delos and bowed directly to Xia and left, without even agreeing on when the negotiations would resume, so the negotiations that had just begun were stillborn.
"Ignorant arrogance. ”
Vega smiled coldly, without any restraint.
Because this negotiation dynasty occupies the absolute initiative, 70,000 prisoners of war are still in his hands.
The empire said that it would not dare to give up this negotiation on its own initiative, and even if Vega did not trouble them, the people in the empire would be able to drown them alive with a mouthful of foam.
However, it is still unrealistic to negotiate for the Empire to pay 500 war airships and the city of Ellkia, after all, the number of 500 is too large for the Empire to give up Ellkia.
But wait.
Vegako never said he wanted to broker this negotiation.
He simply wanted to sell the captives for a good price, and then try to keep as much as possible the excuse to use force to hold the empire responsible, and at the same time use this excuse to pit the empire and pit the kingdom, and be the fisherman of the Three Kingdoms War this time.
