Xu Yi looked at the Marquis de Descartes, who was talking to the representative of the Ruerson Kingdom in charge of the talks, the Count of Diddamáns, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Ruerson, with undisguised scrutiny in his eyes.

The initiative of the Candela Empire to propose peace talks this time was both expected and unexpected by him.

As the war continues, the Candela Empire suffers defeat after defeat, and realizes that the mighty army they pride themselves on and the Magister they rely on are meaningless, they must think that it is difficult for them to win this war.

In this case, in order to ensure the territorial integrity of the Candela Empire and prevent further losses, the initiative to propose peace talks is an inevitable measure for the Candela Empire, because if the peace talks are successful, at least it can buy a lot of time for the Candela Empire.

What Xu Yi didn't expect was that the Candela Empire would recognize the fact that they could not match the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the frontal battlefield so early, so that they proposed peace talks much earlier than Xu Yi expected.

This is enough to prove that the Candela Empire is not all living in tradition and still holding the mentality of "Lao Tzu is the best in the world", but there are many people who can clearly see the situation.

Therefore, Xu Yi personally represented the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time to participate in this peace talks.

If the Candela Empire can really confirm the situation clearly and come up with a plan that satisfies Xu Yi, then he doesn't mind real peace talks.

After all, the Candela Empire is one of the two major empires on this continent after all, with the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Even if it cooperates with several other countries. It is also basically impossible to swallow the Candela Empire whole.

And the war was used to defeat the Candela Empire. It's a mess, and that's not something Xu Yi wants to see.

In the history of the earth, there have been similar situations like the present.

That is, the ancient Mongol army had the ability to be completely invincible on the frontal battlefield, which allowed them to sweep across Eurasia on horseback, and build an incomparably large empire covering almost the entire Eurasian continent.

However, such an empire was only occupied in name, and in reality the Mongol Empire had so little control over its territory that it did not last long before it was completely divided and then gradually extinct.

The New Flying Chamber of Commerce now relies on military magic machines that are countless times more advanced. It also has invincible combat power on frontal battlefields.

If Xu Yi is willing, he can actually let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team cooperate with several countries to fight the invincible opponents of the entire Sainz Continent.

However, it doesn't make much sense.

Xu Yi's ideal is to establish a complete magical industry system on the continent of Sainz, and then use this system to greatly increase the productivity and production level on this continent, so as to improve the civilization of the entire continent and improve the lives of all people.

War is a means, not an end.

The reason why there is a war with the traditional strength represented by the two empires is only because the two empires are trying to snatch the dominance of the construction of the magic industry system and the huge benefits contained in it from the hands of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

For these interests, Xu Yi doesn't care about dividing them, but for this dominance, Xu Yi is not allowed to fall into the hands of others.

Except for himself. Xu also did not believe that there was another person on this continent who had the same knowledge and experience as the creation of a magical industrial system.

"If this peace talks can be successful, of course, our side will compensate your country to a certain extent. I believe that it will satisfy your country. ”

At this time, the Marquis de Descartes had finished his preliminary negotiations with Count Didamáns and turned his head to look at Xu Yi.

"President Xu, I don't know what your opinion is from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "The peace talks were proposed by your Candela Empire on their own initiative, so of course the conditions should be proposed by you first." ”

"President Hsu is right. The Marquis de Descartes nodded, raised his hand and made a gesture.

Two people walked out of the Candela Empire's envoys behind him, came to Xu Yi and Count Didamance respectively, took out two documents and handed them to the two of them.

"This is a preliminary peace agreement drawn up by the Council of Elders of the Empire, please take a look at it. ”

Xu Yi and Count Didamance glanced at each other, reached out to take the document, opened it and read it carefully, and then frowned slightly.

In this peace agreement, the Candela Empire proposed that after the two sides agreed on a truce, the Ruerson Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would remove the territory of the Candela Empire, and the Candela Empire would not pursue the losses they had caused to the Candela Empire in this war.

This is considered normal, after all, this is the basis for a truce between the two sides.

It's just that in this agreement, the words used by the Candela Empire still have a hint of superiority, which makes people look uncomfortable.

Of course, it doesn't matter what the tone or words are, what matters is the conditions.

In the terms of the armistice proposed by the Candela Empire at the end of the agreement, the Candela Empire said that after the armistice, the Candela Empire will be fully open to the Ruerson Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce again, and provide a series of preferential policies.

The opening up of the Ruerson Kingdom was mainly aimed at lifting the usual hostile policy between the two sides on the border, allowing the civilians and merchants of the Ruerson Kingdom to freely enter the Candela Empire, and at the same time giving special treatment to the civilians second only to the Candela Empire.

At the same time, the Candela Empire will also remove the troops that were originally hoarded on the border between the two sides, and will also select ten cities on the border as cities for in-depth cooperation and exchange between the two sides, and the people of the Ruerson Kingdom will not have to pay taxes when entering these ten cities......

In short, a series of conditions revolve around the preferential policies given by the Candela Empire to the Ruerson Kingdom, although it seems to be very good, but in essence there is not much content, and the Candela Empire will not invest too weak manpower and material resources in this at all.

Even...... These conditions also have a hint of charity.

In comparison, the conditions that the Candela Empire gave to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were much better.

The Candela Empire promised that after the truce between the two sides, the Candela Empire would treat the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as well as the Chamber of Commerce within the Candela Empire.

Other words. In the future, any goods from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not need to pay additional customs duties when they enter the Candela Empire. You only need to pay the normal business tax like the Chamber of Commerce of the Candela Empire.

At the same time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will also be protected by the laws of the Candela Empire. In the event of disputes and accidents, the official Candela Empire will provide various supports to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

In addition, the Candela Empire also promised to further cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, ensuring that any cooperation project with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be highly valued by the Candela Empire, and enjoy various priorities and conveniences.

At first glance, these conditions are very tempting, because it can be said to be a great convenience for a chamber of commerce like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The elimination of tariffs alone. It will be able to make the total amount of goods imported by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce into the Candela Empire leap, so as to obtain even more amazing profits.

If there was another ordinary chamber of commerce that obtained such conditions, it would undoubtedly be grateful to the Candela Empire and deeply honored.

But when Xu Ye saw these conditions, he couldn't help but let out a sneer.

"Marquis Descartes, is this all the conditions put forward by your Candela Empire?" Xu Yi asked the Marquis de Descartes as he lifted the peace agreement in his hand.

The Marquis de Descartes smiled and replied, "This is only a preliminary agreement. If you are not satisfied with something, President Xu, we can discuss again. ”

"There's nothing I'm not satisfied with. Xu Yi shook his head and threw the peace agreement in his hand lightly, and the agreement flew back as if it had grown wings. It landed on the table in front of the Marquis de Descartes with a snap. Then Xu Yi raised his voice slightly, and continued with a serious face: "I am not satisfied with this whole agreement! If you Candela Empire want to negotiate peace with such an attitude, then please go back, and we'll see you on the battlefield next. ”

The Marquis de Descartes glanced at the agreement on the table, there was no panicked look on his face, he was silent for a moment, and then continued to smile: "President Xu, peace talks, they need to be negotiated slowly. If you are not satisfied with the conditions, we can re-issue the conditions. Or do you simply put forward the conditions that your new flying chamber of commerce needs, and we will adjust the situation again, what do you think?"

Xu Yi glanced at him, stood up directly, and left the living room of the three-way meeting.

The other Xinfei Chamber of Commerce personnel present did not hesitate at all, and followed Xu Yi out one after another.

The Marquis de Descartes and all the members of the Candela Empire's legation froze.

They never thought that Xu Yi would have such a big temper, and he turned his face and left directly on the spot.

It's a completely different kind of negotiation than they have in mind.

If you want to say that you are not satisfied with the conditions, then the Marquis de Descartes has already said that you can talk slowly, but what is the matter if you leave without saying anything?

The Marquis de Descartes was stunned for a while, and then he turned to Count Didamáns and asked, "Lord Earl, President Xu is this...... Isn't it a bit unsympathetic? Since you have already agreed to hold peace talks with us, is it too much to put on such an attitude now?"

Count Didamáns smiled lightly, glanced at the Marquis of Descartes, and then took a slow sip, and then said leisurely: "Marquis de Descartes, don't you understand? Isn't it ridiculous that you put forward such conditions that are almost like coaxing children? You say that President Xu's attitude is not good, but I want to ask you if your attitude is good enough?"

The Marquis de Descartes' face sank: "I have already said that if we are not satisfied with the conditions, we can discuss it in detail." The so-called negotiation is to find a result that everyone is satisfied with in the end, isn't it?"

Count Didamance smiled, shook his head, put the teacup in his hand on the table, got up and slowly wandered outside.

The rest of the Ruerson Kingdom personnel in the room also left.

In the blink of an eye, only the envoys of the Candela Empire were left in the meeting room of Nuoda, and even the servants who were responsible for serving tea and pouring water were withdrawn.

The Marquis de Descartes and the other members of the legation looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. (To be continued......)
