Text Volume 1 The Human World Chapter 18 Negotiations
Liu Yu looked at White who was sitting in his seat with a calm face.
"White, you're here to do these things?" He asked, a little tough in his tone.
"I'm not sure I'm going to kill everyone here, but at least, if I can't finish it, all the infected in Mecha City will attack everyone in the city, and the consequences will be 、、、、、、" He didn't say what he meant directly.
White straightened his collar. "It seems that I am not a human being on either side, and I just wanted everyone to get along at first."
"Don't dare to take it, I'm afraid that most of the people present will not be able to accept this gift from Director White." Nikolai deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "man".
Some of the infected in the field had turned pale, and most of them were unhappy with what Nikolai had just said.
"Well, since neither side can convince each other to reach their own terms, and everyone feels that the content of the negotiation is unfair to each other, then we might as well use some fair methods."
"Oh?" Liu Yu suddenly became a little interested.
"Let's talk about it." Qi Zeyue cocked his feet and put them on the table.
White smiled. "Isn't there a tournament to be held in Mecha City, let these infected send some representatives to participate in the showdown with some of our participating mech controllers, if they win in the end and show their sufficient strength, then we will agree to all the negotiation requests they made today, on the contrary, if they lose, then they will have to accept all our demands and conditions."
"That's fair enough." White said.
Liu Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "One-on-one, this will do."
White turned his gaze to Nikolai and Qi Zeyue.
"You don't play tricks here, in the past few years, everyone knows in their hearts that the one-on-one duel between the mecha and the infected has to be at a disadvantage most of the time, and now it's more one-on-one, I'm afraid you don't think that the IQ of all our human beings is the same as yours!" The representative of the Goryeo Kingdom, who was indignant before, couldn't help but stand up and curse again.
Liu Yu glared at him. "Mr. Qi Zeyue, the people of the neighboring countries of China have such a little cultivation, how did your so-called thousand-year-old country cultivate them."
Qi Zeyue smiled slightly. "No, I think what he just said is quite reasonable, and you also know after all, our Huaxia is different from your black body, we have always had a good tradition of not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, in terms of cultivation, I'm afraid it's not your turn to be infected."
"Tsk, I'll have to figure it out," White shook his head helplessly, "One-on-one is just a part of the competition, and this competition isn't just about that." ”
"In this way, both sides have designated their respective representatives to participate in the competition, as a non-public competition, the two sides will form several teams to participate in the entire content of this mecha competition, and finally make the final evaluation of the victory and defeat according to the point system obtained by the competition ranking."
"Then it will be easy to tell if you win or lose," White said, looking around, "Everyone present may as well come and be witnesses, since this agreement has been made, when the time comes, don't go back on your word." ”
"Okay, I agree." Qi Zeyue immediately spoke in favor.
Nikolai was a little surprised, he looked at Qi Zeyue for a long time, and Qi Zeyue nodded to him slightly.
Nikolai hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Well, since the plan sounds feasible, then I have no opinion."
After Qi Zeyue and Nikolai expressed their approval on behalf of the two major powers, China and Russia, the delegates of the various countries present had no opinion, and except for a few delegates who were pessimistic about the results of the game, who voted against and abstained, the resolution was finally adopted by an overwhelming number after a vote.
"Okay, since it's all decided, then the follow-up events will be discussed with each other, and the specific competition matters and the contact status with these infected people will be handed over to our lovely Mr. White," Qi Zeyue glanced at White, "Let's dismiss." ”
He patted Nikolai on the shoulder, turned back and gestured to Bai Qi, then got up to leave.
Nikolai didn't say anything more, and walked out of the venue with Qi Zeyue.
Bai Qi faded the mecha and trotted out with Qi Zeyue.
"Director."
Qi Zeyue and Nikolai walked side by side.
"I know what you want to ask," he didn't look back, Bai Qi didn't see Qi Zeyue's expression clearly, "In that case, there is actually nothing to do except agree."
Law. ”
"Liu Yu has rarely had direct contact with our government, most of the time he relies on his organizational forces in Huaxia to fight against the forces in our bureau, he is not a random person, and he must have been prepared for this time."
"In other words, the United States has been in contact with the 'Black Mist' organization for some time before." Nikolai took Qi Zeyue's words.
Bai Qi was a little puzzled. "So the U.S. position is biased?"
Qi Zeyue shook his head. "That's not true, the political struggle between countries is always complicated, and the current struggle is probably not just about politics."
Bai Qi's heart set off a wave, before this he had never seen the news about the contradictions and conflicts between countries in Qi Zeyue's mouth and in the major domestic media and newspapers, this so-called struggle was in full swing in the last century, but after the appearance of the creature of the black body, the human world was united, and he had never heard of the so-called disputes between countries, and even if there was, it could only be resolved through mutual concessions in a very short period of time.
But this time, it seems unlikely that either side will be able to back down.
Nikolai looked back at Bai Qi's incredulous expression, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Son, it's politics, and it shouldn't be what you should be concerned about right now," he coughed, "but it doesn't seem like you don't know anything at all, at least you have to learn to tell who is the enemy and who is the friend." ”
The head of the Black Body Department from Russia spoke softly and cordially. His family has a long history, and more than a few hundred years ago, his ancestors had created a powerful dynasty in Russia, until this dynasty was overthrown more than a hundred years ago, and his ancestors, as remnants of the imperial family, were sent abroad until the regime changed again.
It is also due to centuries-old tradition, Nikolai seems to have been born with an air of nobility.
"From the very beginning, the United States has been ambiguous about blackbodies," he said, "but that ambiguity is not biased towards their ambiguity, as a superpower in the world, they have always wanted to maintain their great power, but then this situation of one country dominating has been broken." ”
"In their attitude towards creatures like blackbodies, they have a sense of wanting to use their power for themselves."
"In the initial encirclement and suppression, only the troops of the United States appeared very passive in every crusade, and they always only sought self-preservation, and did not want to suffer any heavy losses to their own troops because of the crusade operations."
"It wasn't until Dr. Chen Tian of Huaxia successfully developed the mecha technology that the United States set its sights on it at once, but because the United States had an ambiguous attitude in the early crusade operations, when the World Joint Sector Conference was held, most of the country representatives did not approve of the excessive number of mecha allocated to the United States, and even some radical country representatives raised strong opposition to the allocation of a certain number of mecha to the US troops."
"However, in the final negotiation results, the United States, like our two countries, still got the largest number of mechas."
"They will not be held accountable for their past passive operations?" Such a turn of events made Bai Qi feel very puzzled.
Qi Zeyue shook his head and took over the topic. "Of course not, at the beginning, our Chinese government and the Russian government had a similar attitude towards this matter as those countries, and they also maintained an attitude of giving but never giving more. Therefore, the representative of the US government, headed by White, secretly sent people to negotiate with us. ”
"But it's not so much a negotiation as a naked threat, as the U.S. representative told us in private."
"If the Chinese and Russian governments can't convince other countries to provide the United States with a sufficient number of mechs, then the United States will not see infected people as enemies."
Bai Qi: "?!" ”
"Although the United States has been relatively passive in dealing with the infected people, considering the importance of their country in the world, after all, the United States has a large number of troops and bases all over the world, so the participation of this country is essential if it wants to eliminate the infected people."
"So in the end, through negotiations, the United States got the same number of twelve mechs as us, and they also promised all countries that they would change their previous attitude towards fighting against the infected."
The car started slowly and drove away from the central building.
"In the past few years since the establishment of the mecha unit, at least on the bright news, the United States has indeed taken a lot of initiative in the crusade against the infected." Bai Qi said.
"Well," Nikolai nodded, "It's really a lot positive, and that's why this time things were unexpected by Director Qi and me." ”
"If the infected just want their own living space, then it's okay to say," Nikolai borrowed a cigarette from Qi Zeyue, "I'm more worried about the United States." ”
"I always feel that White's purpose should not be as simple as those infected with black bodies."
