If you want to lose the army and protect the marshal, it's too late! If it had been changed a month ago, Zhou Yuan would have agreed to the price offered by the redeemer without hesitation, but now the price has increased with the change of the situation. What oil exploitation rights, what Hami management rights, there is a chance to go straight to Huanglong, who cares how much it costs to touch a few kisses.
"Minister Zhou, don't you think it's strange that the combat effectiveness of the rebels has suddenly increased a lot? Is it possible that other forces have joined in and want to muddy the waters and take advantage of the opportunity to make profits? ”
"We will not make the slightest concession on the issue of guaranteeing the sovereignty and integrity of the redeemer, and we will resolutely not allow anyone to engage in conspiracy behind the scenes, and all believers of the true God will not hesitate to fight the invaders to the end, even if only the last person remains!"
Seeing that the sale of such a large benefit could not be exchanged for the actual support of the East Asian Alliance, Anna had to come forward to play the role of blackface. Although these words may still not have any effect, it is necessary to properly warn the other party that there are still tens of thousands of redeemers and will not give in easily.
Just last night, Zhao Bin personally shot the captain of the adjudicator squadron who ran back from Licheng to report on the situation on the front line in his office, and asked the guards to arrest Sabin on the spot and put him under house arrest in the penance. At the same time, Wakel was appointed commander-in-chief of the armed forces, with full responsibility for the defense of the Duku Highway and Licheng, and declared martial law throughout the territory.
This series of changes illustrates the fact that the redeemer is at stake, and that only with the assistance of the East Asian Alliance can he get out of his predicament.
For this reason, Zhao Bin gave the bottom line of negotiations, as long as the power of the Redeemer's high-level in the control area can be guaranteed and the resistance can be effectively attacked, any conditions can be agreed. Even if it is to give away Hami, Wushi, and Oil City, it will not hesitate!
But Anna knew in her heart that at this time, the East Asian alliance probably wanted more than cities, railways and oil wells, and this Minister Zhou was notoriously difficult, and it was difficult to negotiate terms with her in this situation.
"Of course, I have always expressed my respect for your determination...... But there are some things that can't be solved by determination alone, and the resistance should be determined as well. In order to avoid senseless killings among survivors, I suggest that everyone sit down and have a good conversation and communicate more. ”
"This is not only my personal advice, but also the attitude of the East Asia Alliance. Probably...... In two days or so, an emergency force from the alliance will arrive in Hami. ”
"Don't get me wrong, they're just here to stop the situation from getting worse, not to fight either side. Of course, if the vendetta between the two sides escalates indefinitely, the alliance will not turn a blind eye, and will certainly impose the necessary sanctions on the side that took the lead in the dispute during the negotiations. ”
Zhou Yuan smiled politely at Anna, reiterating the importance of negotiations, and at the same time did not forget to retaliate with a tooth for tat. You still have the face to warn me? What warning?
Look at how specific my warning is, where the troops have gone are clear, don't you want to sit down and talk, don't be embarrassed, offend the referee so badly that there is no good fruit to eat.
"Oh yes, this is the telegram I just received this morning, that a small group of militants attacked the Alliance's field prospectors in the Longnan area and caused casualties." Communication with the South-West Alliance confirmed that this group of militants was illegal. The Alliance has decided to send armed forces to the area for a month-long clearance operation, and at the same time inform the South-East Alliance, the South-West Alliance and your side to avoid misunderstandings. ”
Seeing that Jiang Yang and Anna were still hesitating, Zhou Yuan threw out a small bomb again. It's not so much a threat, but rather a break from their reliance on going around in circles with themselves to negotiate terms.
Don't have illusions, any secret military allies who advance and retreat together are all nonsense in the face of absolute power. The Southwest Alliance is now too busy to take care of itself, and it simply does not have the strength to meddle in the affairs of Xinjiang Province anymore.
As for the Southeastern Alliance...... If they had the guts, they wouldn't have watched the Four-Province Alliance be swallowed up in the first place. At that time, two-thirds of the East Asian Alliance's troops were far away in the hinterland of the three eastern provinces, and those people in Changsha did not dare to go north even if they did not dare to go north.
Of course, as a diplomat, you shouldn't be so aggressive in formal negotiations, even if the opponent has surrendered and conceded defeat. After all, forcing people into a hurry is prone to accidents and even lose-lose situations, and it doesn't make much sense to suppress the joy and momentum of the light picture.
But today's Zhou Yuan has to violate this criterion, she is not arrogant and ignorant of the redeemer, but anxious to meet someone, a man who has been thinking about it for eight years!
Hong Tao returned to northern Xinjiang, and a few days ago Zhou Yuan received a message on the radio, the content was very headless and brainless. just said that she was asked to wait at the west side of the Huocheng checkpoint at three o'clock this afternoon, but she didn't say anything specifically.
But Zhou Yuan was very sure that this message was sent by Hong Tao, and at the end of the message there was an inexplicable and wonderful number, 946490. This number-like number was almost intelligible to almost no one but her, and the source of the number was no longer available.
It was the size of the three measurements when he and Hong Tao met sincerely on the arrow tower of Desheng Gate, and with the passage of time, she was no longer a young woman in her prime, even if she was careful about maintenance, she would inevitably lose her shape.
"Are you going to check on their troop movements? In the past half a month, I have already written down the personnel changes and communication content of the four nearby barracks in the report, and there should be no major changes so far. The level of training of these people is really poor, and the mobilization is very slow, and I don't think it will be able to complete the mobilization in another 10 days. ”
At lunchtime, Zhang Ke heard Zhou Yuan's request to go to the west and immediately expressed his tactful objection. At present, the activities of the special service unit in southern Xinjiang are very frequent, and as a staff officer of the armed forces, his task is far more than cooperating with the work of the delegation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and at the same time he has to assume the responsibilities of the temporary command center, the military intelligence department, and the telecommunications center, and give comprehensive guidance and cooperation to the combat tasks of the special service unit.
And so much work has to be done by himself and three members of the special service team, where is there time and energy to accompany this minister who has nothing to do all day to wander around.
"Then I'll take Captain Kawahaya with me, their first task is the guard, and I have the right to transfer!" How could Zhou Yuan not understand what the little fat man was thinking, reached out and brushed the hair around his ears, and then turned his eyes to Kazuo Kawahaya, who was eating at the table next to him.
"Yes...... I'll have people prepare the car right away......" If the singer's voice is deliberately intended to be heard by the people at the next table, there is no possibility that it will not be heard. Kazuo Kawahaya immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and got up to accept the order, and only when he sat down did he skim Zhang Ke from the corner of his eye.
"Uh...... Aunt Zhou, Captain Chuan Zao still has the task of commanding the battle in the afternoon, or I should accompany you. Zhang Ke immediately stopped pulling rice into his mouth, trying to suppress the irritability in his heart, and the harmless smile of humans and animals surfaced on his fat face, and even his name changed.
"Yo, can such an important job be done without you? I'm just going to go around, don't delay getting down to business. Zhou Yuan was stunned, and even a little embarrassed.
"Where...... In terms of specific operational command, I am actually also at the level of an apprentice, mainly because I am too far behind in terms of experience. There are opportunities to learn with Captain Chuanzao, but the opportunity to accompany Aunt Zhou to go out is not often, don't be polite to me. ”
The more polite Zhou Yuan is, the more flattering Zhang Ke laughs, and he can't wait to say that he is a bastard who doesn't learn and has no skills, and he screams extremely smoothly, it really seems like going back to his childhood, following behind this group of adults' butts all day long and trying to please, hoping to get a few words of praise.
"If you say that, I'm relieved, I won't go too far, and I won't be delayed much. Don't bring too many people, you and I Tian Yu will add a driver. I also said hello to Vice President Anna, and told them not to make such a big show, and a few soldiers were enough to follow. I'm done, you two are neat, and we'll be off in half an hour. ”
Seeing that Zhang Ke gave in, Zhou Yuan did not intensify her persecution, and simply arranged the afternoon itinerary, and got up to leave the restaurant, but never said where she was going.
