Cui Wenxiu's meaningful smile made a layer of fine sweat ooze from Saidi's back, so it was! He always thought that he was in the forefront of everyone, but he didn't expect that the Farawi family and the Effendi family were also not slow, even Duzmi could get on the line with the Tang people, it seemed that it was not his own family that was optimistic about the Tang people, and Saidi couldn't help but be glad that he didn't hesitate much when the Tang people found him, otherwise he wouldn't be qualified to talk to the person in front of him here.

"Lord Saidi, the territory of the empire is too vast, and Kerman is insignificant to the empire, but this is the western frontier of the empire's controlled territory, especially since it is close to the Baltic Sea, and it is also the bridgehead for the empire to radiate its influence to the western continent, the ownership of Fahan still needs to be negotiated with the Hansen Alliance, but it is estimated that there should be an optimistic result, so these two places will be the window of the empire in the Baltic Sea, you should know the meaning of this. Cui Wenxiu saw that the other party seemed to have an understanding, and continued to mention the other party: " The Farawi family and the Rafendi family are already willing to cooperate with the Empire, the social security in the two provinces of Kerman and Fahan must be completely restored, there must not be a situation like before, Kerman and Fahan will be the two windows of the Empire on the Baltic Sea, the Empire's westward trade route will extend here, and the people in this region will benefit a lot, but this requires a strong local political axe to ensure that you have many opportunities, I hope you will be good at grasping it. β
"Lord Cui, please rest assured, the Zahudin family will always be loyal to the empire, and I, Saidi, swear in the name of the true God!" Saidi put his hand on his chest with a serious expression, this is the most solemn oath of the Niye religion, violating this oath is equivalent to a betrayal of the true God, it is an unforgivable sin of the Niye, and the Niye would rather die than break it.
"Hehe, Lord Saidi, I am very optimistic about you, the Zahuddin family has a good reputation in Kerman Province, I hope you can restrain the behavior of family members, so that maybe you and your family may be able to win more points in the future interest pattern. Cui Wenxiu nodded, "Isn't there such a beach in the coastal area of Kerman Province, isn't there a place where you can build a dock into a port?"
"Oh, Lord Choi, there are not many suitable addresses in Kerman Province for a good port, but Cape Ochakov, not far from the border of Nishizawa Province to the south, is well located enough to build a port, but it is sparsely populated and has not been taken seriously by the locals. Saidi knew that this issue was the core issue today, and the other party hurriedly came here to look around despite the negotiations with the Hansen Alliance, obviously attaching great importance to this coastal area, but Saidi naturally did not understand why the other party was so eager to build a port on the Baltic Sea coast, even if it was needed for trade in the future, it did not have to be so urgent.
"Oh, Cape Ochakov, close to Nishizawa Province?" Cui Wenxiu's eyes lit up, and then he pondered for a long time, but he didn't say anything.
"My lord, if the province of Fahan really belongs to the empire, then you don't have to worry, the coastline of the Thrace Peninsula at the northern end of the province of Fahan is tortuous, and the shore is high, which is the best location to establish a good port, but it is too close to the border of the Duchy of Hanover, the shortest distance is less than sixty miles, and the farthest is only ninety miles away, which is not suitable from the strategic location, of course, if it is just a simple commercial port, I am afraid there is no big problem. "Saidi is well aware of the topography of the entire West Indian Coastal Region.
"Well, the empire needs to have a commodity transit port in this sea area, and the Indean region also needs it, and the specific location and location may still have to be discussed, but the first problem that needs to be solved is the problem of law and order, Lord Saidi, the warriors of the Zahuddin family need to be in place as soon as possible, I have transferred two thousand people from the Second Ranger Regiment to coordinate this cavalry team, I hope that your warriors can adapt to the life of a real army as soon as possible, maybe there will be some hardships at first, but that is also a great exercise for them, this you need to explain to themγ Cui Wenxiu admonished.
"Don't worry, Lord Cui, since Saiyiti has accepted the adult's matter, he will never regret it, and our warriors of the Zahudin family believe that they will satisfy the adult. Saidi is also a sworn guarantee, which is also related to the status and interests of the Zahuddin family in the entire West Indian Coastal Region, and of course he cannot be hindered.
While Cui Wenxiu was inspecting the coastal area, Pauling also started a difficult negotiation with the special envoy of the Hansen Alliance Negotiations in Kerman City, and neither side wanted to continue the war, which was the basis of the peace talks, but the size of the concessions in interests made the two sides have to grit their teeth and argue little by little.
"Mr. Pauling, your proposal is very innovative, and I have consulted with my fellow members of the mission yesterday and believe that your proposal can serve as a basis for our negotiations, and that specific issues can be discussed in detail in the next stage of negotiations. But your demand for us to withdraw from the provinces of DXN and Fahan is intolerable, do you not feel that you are condescending to negotiate with us in a victor's posture? I don't know where your confidence comes from, is it that you think you have become the victor in that trivial battle in the ancient city of Bam?"
The smell of gunpowder in the negotiation hall was very strong, and the two sides sat on equal footings according to their ranks, and the long negotiating table became a stage for the two sides to confront.
"Mr. Vladimir, I believe that we are well aware of the situation on both sides, and there is no need to introduce it further. We are negotiating in good faith to avoid greater losses on both sides, and the lives of tens of millions of soldiers on both sides are at stake, and acting rashly will only make things worse, so I ask you to calm down. Pauling did not respond to the other party's provocation, and cold treatment is the best way to do this.
"Mr. Pauling, I don't need you to remind you of this, negotiation requires sincerity on both sides, is it a sign of sincerity for you to open your mouth like this?" The middle-aged man with a slightly bald forehead was dressed in a beautiful dress, and the small embroidered bow tie looked more like an ornament, which made people feel a bit of a feminine taste.
"The lion opens its mouth? Hehe, Mr. Vladimir, do you think we are a lion with a big mouth? I don't know how you came to the idea that you can hold on to Fahan?
Huh stood up, and the officer sitting next to the bald man's face was swollen and red, and he stood up suddenly, "Mr. Pauling, you are so rude, are you declaring war? If so, then we will accompany you to the end!"
"Mr. Vladimir, your subordinates seem to have overstepped, is he declaring war on our Tang Empire?" Pauling looked at the other party calmly and asked rhetorically.
"Hawking, sit down! I'm sorry, my subordinate was a little rude. However, Mr. Pauling, your remarks have seriously poisoned the atmosphere of the negotiations, and I think that today's negotiations cannot continue, and by the way, I would like to advise you that it is meaningless for you to ask for such a sky-high price, and that the provinces of Dexin and Fahan are our interests for the alliance, and there is no room for retreat, even if it is a war, I hope you can think about it carefully, and this is the end of today's negotiations, I think it may be better to wait for us to calm down. Waving his hand to stop the impulse of his subordinates, the bald man stood up politely and shook hands with the representatives of the Tang side one by one, and the group left the negotiation venue.
Pauling watched the other party leave the venue with a smile on his face, he did not stop the other party, peace talks are the common needs of both sides, unilateral wishful thinking is useless, so he is not worried that the other party will suspend the negotiations, this is just a small trick played by the other party, the color is very inward, maybe this word is a bit excessive, but Pauling thinks it is appropriate.
Viscount Vladimir, as one of the most senior diplomats of the Alliance, has been serving as the Alliance's envoy to the Augsburg Empire, and has just returned from the Augsburg Empire to the Alliance, he was entrusted by the Alliance with the important task of negotiating with the Tang people, the aggressive momentum of the Tang people made it difficult for him to adapt at first, but he quickly entered the state, and talked about a road on the core issue of the status of the province of Mana, but the remaining issue of the ownership of the two provinces of Fahan and Dexin has become a little tricky, and the Hansen League hopes to maintain the status quo, and the Tang people want the Hansen Alliance to withdraw from these two provinces, and they will take over the ruling power of these two provinces, which is simply arrogant.
"Viscount Vladimir, the Tang people are so arrogant, do they really think that their army is invincible? I think their performance in the first battle of Kerman Province is also average, if General Suvorov had a mobile force of the corps in his hands, we could completely defeat the Tang army, and now they actually want Fahan and Dexin, it is pure blackmail, and it is blackmail that does not know the height of the sky, Lord Viscount, we must not meet their demands, if necessary, I can go back and report to the top of the alliance, we would rather fight than encourage this greed of the other side, otherwise we will never be at peace. The officer who spoke at the meeting indignantly suggested.
