Chapter 117: Peace talks fail
"Duke Yodel, Duke Masalam, on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I now formally propose to both sides to stop this battlefield and sign an armistice agreement between the two sides. Fei Wen, director of the Foreign Relations Department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, looked at the two people sitting on both sides of the table with a serious expression, and said his intention with a very solemn expression.
To be able to invite these two dukes, who are now in charge of the frontline command of the Lampari Kingdom and the Marlo Empire respectively, to sit together and have a face-to-face conversation, even if the New Flying Chamber of Commerce comes forward, it will take a lot of effort and effort.
The Lampari Kingdom is quite easy to say, but Elder Freya will agree to a word before King Raymond.
However, the Maro Empire did not agree to the request of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at the first time, but after many contacts with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and finally contacted Duke Southgate, who has now become the finance minister of the Maro Empire, to get the Maro Empire to agree.
This meeting can be said to be the first meeting between the commanders of the front-line armies of the two sides, and it is of great significance, but the atmosphere is by no means harmonious.
Hearing Fei Wen's words, Duke Masalan, the front-line commander of the Marlo Empire, snorted coldly: "You Xinfei Chamber of Commerce want us to stop the war? Why should we listen to you?"
Fiwen glanced at him, not surprised by his reaction.
According to intelligence, the Duke of Masalam was one of the representatives of the militant wing of the military of the Maro Empire, and was the most pretending to be the main battle.
Trying to get him to relent, agreeing to a truce, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
"You Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are also embarrassed to say that you don't interfere in the war between the other two countries? Why didn't you jump out when our Maro Empire was inferior before? Now we have finally turned the situation back, and as a result, you have seen the disadvantage of the Lampari Kingdom. Just jump out in a hurry and let us stop fighting?
The expression on Duke Masalam's face was full of disdain. Looking at Fei Wen's gaze, he was even more full of naked aggression. Without mincing matters.
"Our Lampari Kingdom is inferior?" Hearing his words, Duke Yodel, the front-line commander of the Lampari Kingdom, sneered. "Don't think that you are qualified to be arrogant in front of me after a few painless victories. Do you really think we can't beat you?"
"Isn't it?" said Duke Masalan glared. "If you're not convinced, let's go back now, believe it or not, I'll beat you up immediately?"
After saying that, he glanced at Fei Wen again, and sneered: "Don't think that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to help you now, so you can be arrogant." Tell you, the rookies of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Escort Team haven't even seen blood for so many years. Even if they join the war, what can they do? I see, a group of people outside are just scaring themselves when they say that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is so terrible, but in fact, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has long been dead, right? Otherwise, just like the previous President Xu, he would have directly led the troops to our empire, and he still needs to use these useless mouths here?"
"Lord Masalam, watch your words. The principle that we have always adhered to is that everyone coexists peacefully and develops together. Not when necessary. We will never use force lightly. ”
"When necessary?" said Duke Masalam with another shrill sneer. "Before, these guys from the Lampari Kingdom were going to reach the mainland of our Maro Empire, why didn't you see your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce jump out and say that? Now we are about to hit the Lampari Kingdom. Hey, it's not the same to have a son as king......"
Hearing the last sentence, Fei Wen's face suddenly changed.
Duke Yodel was furious, stood up directly, slapped the table hard, pointed at Duke Masalan and shouted: "Shut up!
Duke Masalan squinted at him, and sneered: "What's the matter?
Duke Yodel angrily reached into his arms, took out a magic pistol that he carried with him, and pointed the muzzle at Duke Masalam.
"Take back your words immediately, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Duke Masalan was not afraid, and even shrugged his shoulders with a smile.
"Shoot, see if I blink. ”
The guards brought behind the two also took out their guns at this time, aiming their guns at each other, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.
"Please stop, both of you. Fiwen's voice rang out.
At this tense time, her voice became extremely calm, instantly easing some of the tense atmosphere.
"The two of you, who have been invited together this time, in the hope of discussing the armistice and peace talks between the two sides, not to fight. Fiwen turned her head to stare at Duke Masalam. "Duke Masalam, the reason why our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce chose to express our hope for a truce between you and you at this time is because I think you understand it very well. If it weren't for your Maro Empire's excesses, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would never have intervened in the dispute between your two countries. ”
Duke Masalan looked slightly stunned.
Of course he understands.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce jumped out at this time, of course, because of the previous incident in the refugee camp.
Regardless of whether the magic airship brigade of the Maro Empire was a mistake or not, the fact is that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce lost more than a hundred escort guards and some staff members, and also lost a large refugee camp, which made the New Flying Chamber of Commerce lose its aura of being able to protect the safety of refugees, which is equivalent to a heavy slap in the face of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce doesn't react to this, it will be called strange.
What the Maro Empire is most worried about is that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will directly participate in the war under the pretext of this incident, and form an alliance with the Lampari Kingdom to jointly declare war on the Maro Empire.
If the New Flying Chamber of Commerce makes this choice, the Maro Empire will inevitably be under tremendous pressure.
Although after so many years of development of the Maro Empire, the domestic magic industry has already formed a complete system, and even most of it can get rid of the influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, unlike twenty years ago, the two generations of empires combined can't resist the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is extremely feared after all, and it is of course best not to provoke it.
"Our Chamber of Commerce is worried that if the war is allowed to develop, with the scale of the war between your two countries, similar incidents will probably become more and more frequent, which will not only have a great impact on the peace of the entire continent, but also seriously damage the interests of our Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, we solemnly ask both of you for an armistice. ”
Duke Masalan snorted, thinking that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was very single, and said so bluntly that this would seriously damage their interests, so he asked for a truce.
However, the interests of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are not the same as the interests of the Maro Empire.
Duke Masalan stood up directly: "Director Fiwen, regarding the truce, our Maro Empire will never agree, if you want to join forces with the Lampari Kingdom, please feel free." A word for me to your President Freya, she is not her father, President Xu Yixu, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that was able to make the two empires join forces more than twenty years ago, let her be a little self-aware, so let's do it for herself. ”
Leaving this sentence behind, Duke Masalan left straight away.
Duke Yodel stared blankly for a moment in the direction Duke Masalam had left, and then looked back at Fiwen.
"Minister Fiwen, this ......"
He never imagined that the attitude of the Maro Empire would be so tough.
Do they really think that the new flying chamber of commerce is not a cause for concern?
But on second thought, perhaps there is some truth in Duke Masalam's words.
After all, it is different from more than 20 years ago, the magic industry of various countries on the continent has developed extremely rapidly, and the gap between the magic industry and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is extremely small.
In terms of military magic machinery, the major powers are even more committed to development, and the gap with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is even smaller, and there may even be no gap at all.
Otherwise, why hasn't the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really made a move for so many years?
Even if there is any military action, it is just bullying those primitive natives who have not experienced the baptism of magic industrial civilization on the Demon Cloud Continent, and according to intelligence, the combat effectiveness reflected is very average.
If this is really the case, then the combat effectiveness of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is probably far less powerful than before.
It is understandable that the Maro Empire has such an attitude.
The uncertain expression on Duke Yodel's face fell into Fien's eyes, and she couldn't guess what was going on in Duke Yodel's heart.
However, she didn't want to explain anything, but nodded at Duke Yodel and said, "Don't worry, our Chamber of Commerce will not give up the effort of a truce." Duke Yodel, I hope that your Lampari Kingdom will cooperate more. ”
Duke Yodel smiled wryly.
How to cooperate?
Negotiations between countries can only be based on strength.
If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom can't suppress the Maro Empire, then no matter how much negotiation is in vain.
However, the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still a mystery, not only the Duke of Masalan expressed doubts, but even the Duke of Yodel also had doubts in his heart.
In case the combat effectiveness of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Escort is actually very weak now, how can the Lampari Kingdom rely on their strength?
What made Duke Yodel even more suspicious was the approach chosen by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time.
In the past, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the escort team under his command was killed by more than a hundred, I am afraid that President Xu will directly declare war on the Maro Empire without saying a word, where will it be like now, send someone out first, and try his best to put forward a request for a truce between the two sides for peace talks.
In the eyes of others, it is simply a sign of weakness.
Thinking of this, Duke Yodel strongly remembered his predecessor, Xu Yilai, of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If President Xu was still in power, he would never dare to be so arrogant if he gave Duke Masalan great courage, right? )
