A few hundred meters away from the hall where Lingshan and Leishan were negotiating, behind a fence, is the territory of the presidential palace.

There is a three-storey beige sè mansion in Dúlì, which used to be the dormitory of successive Semitic empress dowagers. Although it has been a thousand years, there have been special funds to maintain it over the years.

Therefore, it is still magnificent, and there is no trace of time.

In an enclosed room on the second floor of the building, several men sat around a large conference table, silent.

The heating in the room was turned on very well, and the temperature was more than 20 degrees, and it was as warm as a chūn day.

Several of them were wearing only thin shirts, smoking cigars with their heads suffocated, and the ice cubes in their glasses that were about to melt showed that they had been sitting for a long time.

The heavy smoke of the cigars filled the room, almost breathless, and even the person opposite was hazy.

But despite this, no one stood up and opened the window to breathe.

All of them had heavy faces and heavy hearts.

The atmosphere in the room is very solemn.

President Bullard sat in the innermost position, biting his cigar and squinting slightly, as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating, but in fact he was watching everyone's movements and expressions.

Sitting on his right hand were his cronies, among whom were several members of the Republican Zhèngfǔ Thunder Flash, all of whom were like him at the moment, holding their hands and coldly looking at the people on one side.

Sitting to his left were the negotiators from Thunderbolt, who now only made eye contact, sometimes nodding or shaking their heads, with very rich expressions.

Through the light, their faces can be clearly seen, and these people are not the group of people who negotiated with Lingshan zhèngfǔ.

These people didn't even come with the whole negotiating team, they came secretly in another aircraft.

They are the ones who can really decide the fate of Lei Shan, and the negotiation outside is actually done for others, used to cover people's eyes and ears, and tell the public that they are negotiating with Lei Shan.

Everyone knows that at present and for a long time to come, the real ruler of the Semitic Republic is the de facto commander of the coalition forces, Lord Lorraine, the deputy commander-in-chief.

Any attempt to bypass Lord Lorraine and bypass the coalition forces for peace talks is pointless.

The negotiation outside was nothing more than Lord Lorraine's attitude of not interfering in the internal affairs of the Semitic people, and let the Semitic people decide the fate of the Semitic people.

But who really takes the lord's words seriously, then the too young, too simple Tucson is broken, and the government is too immature.

In fact, they can't negotiate any results, the real power to make decisions is not in their hands, and the negotiators of the republic zhèngfǔ themselves don't know what the bottom line and goal of the zhèngfǔ are.

So the negotiations just went around the issue of some details, and never went deep into the substance.

The Lei Shan people in the room are the big people who really have the power to decide, and can use the entire Lei Shen as a bargaining chip to bargain with the coalition forces.

The Lingshan people in the room are the ones who represent the coalition and Lord Lorraine, and can determine the future of the Thunderbolts.

Therefore, this negotiation must be as confidential as possible, and it must be kept secret.

Hundreds of thousands of important interests are often involved, and once exposed, it will inevitably cause an uproar and bring many uncertainties to the signing of the treaty.

In the room, although President Bullard and the others were full of resistance, the Lei Shan people opposite also looked full of confidence.

As if they were going to compete with President Bullard, they didn't speak from the moment they took their seats, and it wasn't the first day.

They were not in a hurry, and President Brad and the people of the Republic were not in a hurry, calmly waiting for Lei Shanren to put forward the conditions first, and at the same time looked at Lei Shanren's frowning and eye-catching demeanor.

Watching them smile, frown, and shake their heads, President Bullard was secretly amused in his heart, and it felt like he was watching a silent burlesque.

In this negotiation, Uncle Brad naturally had the advantage.

Although he is an old man, he does not have the invincible aura of the left green dragon and the right white tiger, and the gods block and kill the gods and Buddhas. But there is the support of the dignified Flying Eagle God of War behind him.

And he has nearly 300,000 troops in his hands, although the war is now in a stalemate, but he has forgotten that the current Lingshan has always firmly occupied the strategic initiative.

In addition to this, nearly 600,000 human tigers are jīng sharp. As long as they give an order, they can enter the war at any time and end the war in the shortest possible time.

Thus, this sense of superiority in holding the initiative arises spontaneously, and Brad seems to look down on them condescendingly.

At this moment, there were a few hoarse 'dangdang' sounds from the big clock placed in the corner, and Brad glanced up to realize that the hour finger had pointed to eleven o'clock.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, it seemed that there was nothing to talk about today.

President Bullard reached out and pressed the remaining half of his Havana gold cigar in the ashtray and prepared to get up and leave.

There is so much work waiting for him to deal with every day, and he can't always accompany Lei Shanren to consume. Basically, I come once a day, sit for half an hour and leave.

If he hadn't seen the Havana cigar on the table today, he would have been gone long ago.

Lei Shan and everyone couldn't help but sigh secretly.

They thought that the Psilom should be more anxious than they were.

Before they came, they had learned that the Lingshan people were in a military crisis, as if the treasury was running out of money, and Brad jumped up and down to raise taxes to make money.

The expeditionary force spent one more day in Leishan, and the Lingshan people had to pay for one more day, so it stands to reason that Brad should be eager to end the war and withdraw his troops as soon as possible.

After they sat across from Brad, they found that this was not the case at all, and after a few days of observation, Lei Shan found that his old man was not in a hurry at all.

And they themselves can't stand it anymore. After all, the army of more than 200,000 Shining Spirits is galloping across their land, and every additional day will cause them more losses.

After weighing the cards in his hand, Lei Shanren knew that they couldn't wait, and when Brad was about to get up, an old man suddenly spoke: "President Xià, we can join the republic zhèngfǔ, but ......"

Due to smoking too many cigars, his voice was a little hoarse, and he was very weak.

President Bullard smiled triumphantly, sat back down, and then tapped his fingers on the table and said domineeringly: "No but~!"

Gentlemen, the people of Lei Shan join the republican zhèngfǔ and obey the leadership of the republican zhèngfǔ, which must be unconditional. ”

Several Lei Shan people looked at each other, and their faces were blue: Such conditions are simply equivalent to surrender~!

"Mr. Peters," President Bullard leaned back, sank into the soft sofa, smoothed his gray hair with his hand, and said, "You should have seen in the past few days in Akadrin that in the republic, everyone is equal, and the major affairs of the state are completely resolved by ** votes, and there is no question of who rules whom."

So you can rest assured that it was not us Lingshan who conquered you, because this is the truth.

In the same way, I won't tell the Psychic people that we defeated you. We are not conquerors,

Ladies and gentlemen, please keep in mind and tell your people, that we are the communicators of ** and zìyóu.

This war between us Semites, this fratricidal war is not something that anyone wants to see, and it is not my intention, so ...... Let's let them finish it as much as they can......"

Unconsciously, some Lei Shan people nodded, feeling that if they said this, they would not be psychologically difficult to accept if they took care of everyone's face, but they could also explain the past to the people below.

Seeing that someone wanted to speak, Brad interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and continued: "If you join the republican zhèngfǔ, you must abide by the rules of the republican zhèngfǔ, which is not negotiable.

You must take the initiative to reform your political system, abolish the aristocracy, redeem the land, and disband the army, all of which are necessary, if you can't do it, we will come~!"

The Thunderbolts glanced at each other, and then they all shook their heads decisively.

Although they all knew that there would inevitably be such conditions, they didn't want to simply accept it, and the Lei Shan people sitting here were also nobles.

Such conditions may be a good thing for the common people. But for all of you aristocrats, what is the difference between cutting a little JJ and becoming a eunuch?

Instead of this, it is better to go back and gather troops and fight to the death with the Lingshan people.

President Bullard was unimpressed, and smiled: "Correspondingly, I will not send you officials such as governors and city lords, and the republic will only send some auxiliary personnel to organize the formation and election of the councilors of the Lei Shan area."

According to the principle of **, they will be elected by the people of Thunder Shan themselves. I can assure you that the Thunder Flash places remain autonomous. ”

It was another condition that surprised Lei Shanren, not harsh, but so good that they couldn't believe it, so good that people could stand eight hundred miles away and smell it with their noses, and they could smell the yīn mou inside.

Bradson smiled and said, "However, the coalition will send Leo, the director of the General Administration of Taxation, and the supervisor selected by the coalition to supervise the progress of your reforms." ”

After saying that, he narrowed his eyes and proudly admired the expression of Lei Shanren's jīngcai - this sentence was one of the main points of the negotiation.

He knew that what the Thunder Flash people were most afraid of was not him and the Spirit Flash people, but the coalition army of Lorraine, and this sentence was to sue them in jǐng.

After accepting the conditions, Thunderbolt may not be the Thunderbolt of the Lingshan people, but it will inevitably become the Thunderbolt of the human race. In any case, Lorraine will not let you go.

Now is the time for you to have a chance, to accept peacefully, and perhaps you can leave something behind. But if you don't know each other again, just wait for Lorraine to lead his million-strong army and kill him.

"Oh, yes. President Bullard seemed to think about it suddenly, and said: "Lorraine seems to have discovered the Island of the Dead, and he plans to pass it in the next few days, and he told me yesterday that I had better conclude the negotiations before he passes." He couldn't wait long. ”

Although this sentence seems to be said casually, it is full of Sensen's murderous intent.

After President Bullard finished speaking, he stood up, without looking at them, and walked out of the choking room.

You don't need to look at him to know that the Lei Shan people must all be dumbfounded at this moment, just like he was at the time.

Brad was sure that the news was the last straw that broke the camel of Rayshan.

Peters lowered his head, closed his eyes and pondered, digesting the shock of the island of the undead in his heart, he didn't expect humans to find the legendary lair of the undead high priest so quickly.

Before leaving for the Isle of the Dead, Lorraine will inevitably put an end to the Semitic affair once and for all. Eliminate the troubles, and then fight with the coalition forces wholeheartedly.

Peters didn't know where Lord Lorraine's patience had gone, but he was probably sure that time was running out for them.

In fact, before coming to Akadelin, several of them had already reached a consensus, and they knew these things, so they couldn't help but agree.

Peters nodded slowly, looked at the person opposite, and said heavily: "We can accept the conditions of joining the republic, restructuring and supervision." ”

A human sitting in the middle on the opposite side smiled and said, "Then we have one last question left." ”

Peters looked at him and said, "Yes, what do you have to say about the other royal nobles, General Belen?"

The general manager of the venture capital company, the head of the intelligence department of the coalition general staff, Belen, shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's your problem, not ours, honorable Peters, Mr. Alva." You are also a royal nobleman.

However, I would like to reiterate that our human coalition is a force that upholds justice, defends the Blue Star, and maintains world peace. Never interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, whether it is a flash or a lightning of yours. ”

Peters, Alva couldn't help but stagnate: these damn hypocrites~!

Another chubby middle-aged man beside him grabbed the topic and shouted, "General Belen, let's talk about it directly, we can help you kill them, after the matter is done, what benefits do you give us?"

Belen shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Zatan, you are mistaken, and once again, we do not interfere in Lei Shan's internal affairs."

We have never asked you to do anything, and we will not do it in the future, what you are willing to do is your zìyóu, and we can't control it.

Your actions have nothing to do with us, and the coalition forces will not be held responsible for any of your actions. ”

This sounds a little cold, just like the terms of the contract when the Flying Eagle Telephone Company handles the installation business, full of the domineering spirit of the store boss bullying customers.

Peters glared at Martin and Zatan dissatisfiedly, and said secretly in his heart: Old Zatan is as cunning as a loach, how did he give birth to a vulgar and stupid son.

He coughed lightly, and then said, "For the sake of our future in Thunder, we have decided to completely exterminate the evil families that go against the flow of history, especially the Bartholomian family, which is closely linked to the High Priest of the Dead. ”

Belen raised his glass and encouraged him to continue.

"But," Peters pondered for a moment, "I need your cooperation, only a few of us don't have the ability." ”

"We do not interfere in the internal affairs of Thunderbolt. Belen's tone remained the same, as if he would only say the same thing over and over again.

This gave Peters, Alva and Martin and Zatan a lot of headaches, their two families were at the bottom of the five royal families, otherwise they would not have the idea of giving up their lives.

Relying on their power alone, wanting to settle the other three is a fool's dream. To have this ability, they would have done it a long time ago.

Which of the five royal families is not deep-rooted, and the power is intricate. If you want to eradicate the rest, you can only do it with the strong strength of the human alliance.

Belen smiled at their worried expressions, and after hanging their appetite for a long time, he said faintly: "There are a few members of the noble family in Akadelin, who are now serving in the Republic Zhèngfǔ, you can contact them when you have time." ”

Martin, Zatan said in a daze, "What? I don't seem to have ...... at home."

Peters slapped him on the head, nodded his head violently, and then took over the conversation and said, "Certainly, I don't know what departments these talents are in?"

"You'll know. Belen shook the wine glass in his hand and said: "In the early stage of the reform, Lei Shan will also temporarily implement the appointment system like Lingshan, and some important positions such as governors and provincial councilors are selected from meritocracy.

In addition, in the Senate and the House of Representatives, there are also seats reserved for Lei Shan. ”

This is a reward that Lorraine has given them after the deed is done, and it sounds very affordable.

"I await your good news. With that, Belén also got up and left the room, he was busier than President Bullard.

After the most important principle is negotiated, the rest of the trivial work is left to the people below.

Peters, Alva, Martin, and Zatan will have to hurry up to carry out their plans, and whether this negotiation will ultimately count depends on their final actions.

Two days later, the text of the peace talks was drafted by Belém and sent to Lorraine.

The lord looked at the middle-aged man with a tired face in front of him, and then shook it with a thick negotiation clause, feeling the heavy weight of the paper, and there was no hope at all at the moment.

He casually threw Wen Jiàn on the table and said, "So, it's settled?"

Belen sighed with emotion and said, "The conditions are quite satisfactory. Those two families sold their compatriots very neatly. ”

Lorraine laughed out loud, only compatriots will be the most ruthless to their own compatriots, this is a universal truth, otherwise he would not have picked them as internal responses.

"The only trouble is that we need to send our own people to help them get it done," Belen said. ”

Lord Lorraine was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is the CIA sure?"

Belen spread his hands and said honestly: "No, Lei Shan has not been the focus of our attention, and the CIA is not rich in information about Lei Shan's situation and the five royal families. ”

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh again, and the experienced intelligence chief was very unoptimistic about the future direction of the situation in Lei Shan.

Fiona, who had been listening quietly beside her, suddenly asked suspiciously, "What if I fail?"

Lord Lorraine looked at Fiona strangely, and then laughed out loud.

"What does it matter if it fails?" Lorraine said with a smile: "Anyway, it's the Thunder Flash people who are messing up." ”

He paused for a moment, looked out the window at the blue sky, and added, "But it's best if they succeed, so that we can save a lot of trouble." (To be continued.) )
