Chapter 637: Negotiation
Negotiations began soon.
Sakura's side is Gen Yoshio who comes forward in person, and at the same time brings two civil officials who are good at talking.
Obviously, the task of this negotiation has been entrusted to these two civilian officials.
In this way, a life-and-death negotiation involving millions of people began.
Regarding the survival of a country, this negotiation was also carried out for a very long time, and for a whole day, no negotiations were made.
As soon as the negotiations began, officials on the Sakura side demanded autonomy for their cities.
In this regard, it is naturally impossible for the Great Xia side to agree.
After all, they have already fought to this point, and for them, it is only a matter of time before they completely capture the territory of the other party, and it is a big deal to fight for a few more months.
Sooner or later, this archipelago will fall into their hands.
So how could they possibly hand over autonomy?
In this regard, the Sakura side has also been mentally prepared for a long time, and the reason why they will make such a request is just to make a high price first, so that they can bargain.
Next, the rights and treatment that need to be won for the people of their empire are the focus.
From this moment on, the negotiators on the Sakura side really fought with the Great Xia side one by one to the end, and in the end, this negotiation completely became a competition of perseverance.
And one thing that is well known is that Daxia will not abuse and enslave the civilians of the defeated country, and they can generally get basic treatment, and those who are coolies are war criminals and prisoners of war.
But even so, they can't easily agree to each other, after all, there are quite complex interests involved, which makes the whole negotiation extraordinarily long.
In addition, the negotiators on the side of Daxia are also quite old-fashioned, and by the time the terms are established and the negotiations are officially over, it will be three days later.
It can be said that after the end of the negotiations, the negotiators on the Sakura side even had a feeling of prostration.
The final result, of course, was that the island, where the capital of the empire was located, formally surrendered after the terms of the agreement were agreed.
Immediately afterwards, the army of the Great Xia side directly settled on this island as quickly as possible, and at the same time, the corresponding officials quickly took over a series of important positions.
In a short period of time, more than 70 percent of the control of this island general was obtained.
During this period, since the communication equipment on this island was not damaged, the whole situation on this side naturally spread to the other two islands very quickly.
Despite some commotion, the whole situation is actually clear, and the powerful officials on the other two islands are also very clear that if they continue to fight, they will only seek death.
As a result, surrenders were also carried out one after another.
At this point, the expeditionary army of Bactria officially conquered the entire archipelago territory and declared complete rule.
On the other side of the 12th Sea, the combined fleet of Europa, which has launched a ferocious offensive all the way, is also a port city that is approaching foreign players.
I have to say that the Europa side, which has reached the end of the road, is still very fierce when it really fights hard power, and the addition of the Francophone fleet has put pressure on them to a certain extent, but it is indeed not so easy to stop them.
After all, in the earlier war at sea, although there were considerable losses of warships on the side of Europa, it was the same on the side of the foreign combined fleet,
In other words, without the intervention of the East China Sea Fleet, the situation in the entire sea area is not much different from earlier.
Of course, if you insist on saying it, you can still say a little bit.
For example, the number of heavy cruisers on both sides has increased significantly, and it is clear that both sides can no longer afford to continue the large-scale construction of battleships at this point, so they have chosen to start using heavy cruisers to pile up the firepower of a whole fleet.
At the same time, the two Sakura players did even more straightforwardly, and they clearly focused on their respective lightning strike fleets.
After all, destroyers are cheaper than heavy cruisers, and they are more efficient to manufacture.
"It's useless."
failed to force out the hole cards of the Europa side, and Xia Qi expressed considerable disappointment with the performance of the foreign combined fleet.
However, as this situation continues, it is inconvenient for the East China Sea Fleet to continue watching the show.
Because once the port city on the foreign side falls at that time, even if the military supplies have been transferred, it is useless, and the Europa army will rush into the city to burn and loot, and still be able to obtain a considerable amount of material supplies.
This is not good news for them.
Once the supply of the Europa camp is connected, it is equivalent to prolonging the opponent's battle time, and during this period, the two Europa players in the rear naturally cannot be ignored.
At present, they are indeed short of resources, and they can't scrape together supplies for a while, but the main problem here is actually time.
Once the time is sufficient, how can they scrape together some supplies to replenish it, and when the time comes, coupled with the killer hole cards that the other party is still hiding in their hands, the sea battle situation on this side will only become more troublesome.
Of course, there is also a very important reason that the current alliance between Great Xia and foreign players is an alliance after all, even if it takes more time for a large fleet to supply and maintain supplies, if it disappears for too long, it will not be easy to explain after all.
At that time, if the other party has any ideas, I am afraid it will affect his plan again.
Xia Qi, who was on the airship of the Monarch, sorted out the thoughts in his mind, according to the information obtained before, the first unit of the Submarine Hunter was at least nearly two months away from arriving at the battlefield in the twelfth sea area.
But right now, time waits for no one!
In the end, Xia Qi still made a decision.
"Pass the order, let Lu Meng lead the fleet and intervene in the battlefield."
No way, can't wait any longer.
Wait a little longer, and the Europa fleet, which has captured the port city of the exotic player, will soon be able to refill itself.
With Xia Qi's order, the No. 1 Air Reconnaissance Team quickly fed back the battlefield coordinates, and the East China Sea Fleet, which received the order, took action as soon as possible and headed for the main battlefield in the No. 12 sea area.
On the twelfth sea, the battleships were crisscrossed, and the ship's guns fired wildly.
Because it is related to the life and death of their own port city, among the foreign combined fleets, the fleets of Sakura players and Aztec players can be said to have done their best to intercept and kill the Europa fleet.
In comparison, the players who are relatively safe in their own territory maintain a certain safe distance and suppress the naval artillery fire on the periphery.
I have to say that now the battlefield in this sea area is already chaotic to the extreme, and at a glance, there are warships everywhere.
It is no wonder that Chen Jinhui would say that if he was not careful, he would accidentally injure friendly troops on the battlefield at sea, but this situation was too chaotic, and the shells flying all over the sky made people feel shocked.
Fortunately, the fleets of the four foreign players have established a certain tacit understanding with each other in the years of naval war.
Otherwise, there is really no way to fight such a situation, and it would be good if they didn't get in the way of each other.
The destroyer fleet of the two Sakura players has a guaranteed speed, and it is almost impossible to escape from their pursuit, leaving the Europa Combined Fleet to meet it head-on.
During this period, the fish-man troops located under the sea also launched non-stop attacks.
At this moment, there was something unusual, because the number of fish-man soldiers had become much more than before.
In the face of a large number of fish-man soldiers rushing onto the deck of the ship, the average small warship has limited troops, and it will not be able to withstand it at all, and it will not take long to be completely defeated.
However, just sending some ordinary fishman soldiers basically didn't mean anything to Xia Qi, what he wanted to know was what the killer weapon on the other side was.
It's impossible for the other side to send an ordinary fish-man army over as reinforcements.
The battle continues.
At this time, the sea area where the battle broke out was actually close to the offshore area of the foreign player.
In this regard, it is naturally impossible for the fleet of foreign players to get close to the opposite side, and they must intercept and kill the opponent here.
As a result, their attacks became much sharper next, and some warships that were about to lose their combat effectiveness would even launch a frontal collision with the surrounding Europa warships, which could be said to have squeezed out all the value.
But even if this suicidal style of play broke out, in the face of the hard power of the Europa Combined Fleet and the Fish-Man Force, the foreign Combined Fleet was still at a disadvantage.
Just now, the last large battleship of the Aztec fleet, with the roar of artillery fire, was sunk.
This can be said to be a heavy blow to an entire foreign combined fleet.
After all, in this situation, every battleship is an important firepower output for them, and every battleship missing, the firepower output of their fleet is weaker by one point.
Now on the side of their foreign combined fleet, only the Franc fleet and four battleships remain, and the two Sakura fleets each have two battleships, for a total of only eight.
As for the Europa Combined Fleet, although the number of battleships is only seven, which is inferior to them, the number of heavy cruisers is amazing.
As far as the eye can see, there are at least thirty heavy cruisers firing wildly, and on their side, there are only eleven left.
Apparently, the two Europa players abandoned the construction of battleships before they did, and invested all their limited funds in heavy cruisers, which were relatively cheap to build and faster to build.
This earlier move allowed them to establish a clear advantage in a moment, not to mention the Europa camp, which also had a large number of fish-man soldiers under the surface of the sea to help.
For a sea fleet, once it has the help of the Fishman Force, it is equivalent to a tiger with wings, and its comprehensive combat power will rise in a straight line.
The East China Sea Fleet in Great Xia was not there, and in this round of offensive, the Europa Combined Fleet only felt that it was in the right rhythm, and several rounds of naval artillery attacks hit the target one after another, which can be said to be getting smoother and smoother.
On the side of the Combined Fleet of Foreign Countries, it felt too bad, and the entire offensive was completely brought to its own offensive rhythm by the Combined Fleet of Europa, which could be said to be a mess.
"Damn, where did the Huaxia fleet go?"
Although in previous battles, the East China Sea Fleet often left the main battlefield to run away from the main battlefield to replenish supplies, but this time it felt particularly long for them.
At the same time, it also made them further realize the importance of the East China Sea Fleet, according to their current naval combat strength, without the Huaxia East China Sea Fleet, it is impossible to fight the other side.
At this moment, a dense roaring cannon suddenly sounded on the periphery of the sea battlefield!
The East China Sea Fleet finally appeared, and as soon as it appeared, it came to the battleships of the Europa camp opposite, and a wave of artillery fire came at the opposite side.
The armor-piercing projectile that came out of the disembowel pierced the air, pierced through the armor of the battleship on the opposite side, and then hit the engine room on the opposite side, and the entire battleship directly rose with billowing smoke.
The appearance of the East China Sea Fleet not only boosted the morale of the foreign combined fleet, but also dealt a blow to the morale of the Europa Combined Fleet in the most direct way.
Seeing the opportunity, those foreign player warships that had been beaten all the way before hurriedly withdrew from the central battlefield temporarily.
The previous naval artillery strikes of the Europa Combined Fleet caused serious damage to their warships, and they had to quickly find a relatively safe place for emergency rescue.
Otherwise, there will be no fighting.
Faced with this situation, the East China Sea Fleet, which had long been aware of the situation on this battlefield, directly came with a salvo of naval guns, which could be regarded as a cover for the temporary evacuation of those seriously damaged foreign warships.
Lu Meng is not afraid that these foreign warships will run away as soon as they withdraw, after all, there is their port city behind, and the monks can't run away from the temple, if they want to run, they will definitely suffer in the end.
As for the East China Sea Fleet, if it's a big deal, pat your ass and leave, and when the first unit of the submarine hunters arrives, you really won't be afraid!
