Chapter 391: Negotiation or Blackmail?
Tang Zheng stayed in Li Wuwu's palace for one night, and the next day, he and Li Wuwu went to meet Magnolia's delegation.
Magnolia came to the side of a royal princess Sophia, and now the emperor of Magnolia is Sophia's brother Anthony.
Sophia knew Li Wuwu before the end of the world, and now when she saw Li Wuwu again, she took the initiative to come over and happily hugged Li Wuwu.
Tang Zheng looked at this woman from behind, and he could see the perfunctory in her eyes, and he had a count in his heart.
Before the end of the world, they were princesses, with equal status, and there may be a little friendship, but this friendship is not worth mentioning at all in the face of national contradictions.
Sophia's arrival is nothing more than to ease the atmosphere and make the negotiations less contradictory and sharp.
However, Tang Zheng and Li Wuwu were also prepared for this matter, after Li Wuwu and Sophia met, they took the initiative to say: "Sophia, since you are here, go out with me, I don't know much about this negotiation, just leave it to them men to do, Brother Zheng, we are out, you can talk slowly and leave us alone." ”
Saying that, Li Wuwu pulled Sophia and left, which made Sophia and Magnolia's delegations a little stunned.
Unexpectedly, as the crown prince of the empire, Li Wuwu did not participate in the negotiations at all, but threw all the things to Tang Zheng.
Let them negotiate with Tang Zheng, a war maniac?
Several people looked at Tang Zheng, and their scalps were a little numb.
This person can be said to be the most ruthless person today, not to mention anything else, a bombing of the volcano killed tens of millions of people, and there has never been such a vicious person in the past.
He left Magnolia and the captives of various countries out of humanity, but just waiting for extortion.
Magnolia's people understood Tang Zheng's mind very well, but since they came here to redeem the hostages, they were also ready to be blackmailed.
The defeated must have the consciousness of the vanquished, and they understand this truth, but they have to pay as little benefit as possible, which is the basis for the existence of negotiations.
Tang Zheng was also accompanied by a few people, Ning Yuwei of the guard battalion, Xu Liu of the special service, and Director Ji Yuntian of the Military Intelligence Bureau, all of whom were in the team this time.
After all, you can't rely on Tang Zheng to argue about some things that don't take your words, and many times it's your subordinates who are talking about it.
The negotiating table was set, and people from both sides sat down left and right.
Magnolia's side is not a country, and there are also people from the Wool Empire, the Javanese Kingdom, the Coconut Kingdom and other countries, because all the people who were captured this time have a part in it, and they have to come.
Magnolia's Sophia was not there, and another team leader, Davis, took on the responsibility of negotiating.
The bearded white man coughed and took the initiative to speak: "Dear General Tang Zheng, first of all, I apologize for the conflict between our two kingdoms due to a misunderstanding. ”
Tang Zheng didn't speak, and Ji Yuntian of the Military Intelligence Bureau took the initiative to say: "Wrong, Mr. Davis, there is no misunderstanding between us, you come to attack us, we are fighting you, there is no misunderstanding." ”
Davis's choked old face turned red, he didn't expect the people of the Light Chaser Army to be so faceless, and a polite word was taken seriously.
However, to be able to go to the negotiating table, Davis's thickness of face is obviously not comparable to ordinary people, although he was embarrassed, but he quickly smiled: "That's right, we participated in the war, but we failed, but the war will always end, and we are now coming to your country with sincerity, hoping to find a path to peace." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his words, "But before I talk about this, I want to ask, according to the latest news I have now, the naval fleet of the Light Chaser Army has begun to enter the waters of Guanmen Island and Transit Island, and these places are the inherent territory of our Magnolia before the end of the world, and they have been stationed there for a long time, I don't know what your army is going to do in those places?" ”
This time Tang Zheng spoke: "Don't you know what we're going to do?" Dicui Island is still the inherent territory of my Han Yue, isn't it also occupied by you for more than half a year? What you were doing then, we are going to do now. ”
Davis frowned slightly: "Tang Zheng is near, I'm sorry for the matter of Dicui Island, but in fact, you have already recovered Dicui Island, and we have also paid the price for our actions, and your current behavior is an act of aggression, which is wrong, I hope you can order your army to withdraw from Guanmen Island and Transit Island, and return a pure land to the Great East Ocean." ”
Tang Zheng glanced at Davis: "Why are we withdrawing?" ”
"Because it used to be our land."
Tang Zheng smiled: "The continent where you live used to be the land of the Mohicans, so do you want to withdraw from that land now and return it to the Mohicans?" ”
The green tendons on the top of Davis's head jumped for a moment, this Tang Zheng is too hateful.
Chen sesame seeds rotten grain, and the things that have already become fait accompli are still taken out to say, is this not wanting to negotiate well?
He really wanted to leave without his hands, but after all, a large number of prisoners of war were held in the hands of the Chaser Army, and these people had to be brought back to China, because if these troops could not be brought back smoothly, it would affect their next plan.
So no matter how excessive Tang Zheng's words were, he had to be patient.
Davis smiled patiently: "General Tang Zheng is really joking, these two things are not equal, not to mention that we will give back the land, whether the Mohican people are still capable of receiving, but in fact, after the elimination of the last days, the last Mohicans also died, and their nation disappeared, as if the Great Snake people are now no longer capable of returning to their kingdom to survive, this matter is impossible to change." ”
"And the islands in the Great Eastern Ocean are different, as far as I know, General Tang Zheng has occupied Wangjing Island, occupied Chongsheng Island, and recovered Mingzhu Island and Baisha Islands, your Hanyue Sea Frontier has formed a complete peripheral island chain, no one can silently pass through this area to get close to your mainland, so General Tang Zheng should be very satisfied, we will all recognize your sovereignty in these lands."
Tang Zheng directly scoffed at Davis's words: "It was already occupied by me, why do you need your recognition?" Whether you admit it or not is a fact, if anyone is not convinced, you can come and try it back. ”
"You!"
Davis was a little angry, it was the first time he had met a negotiation opponent like Tang Zheng, this was completely unreasonable, and he didn't talk nonsense with you, he directly showed the attitude of the carriage and horses, and if he didn't accept it, he would come to fight, which made him feel extremely tricky.
At this time, the representative of the Wool Empire asked tentatively: "General Tang Zheng, our latest news is that after your fleet occupies the transit island, it seems that it will continue to advance eastward, may I ask what is your purpose?" ”
Tang Zheng said lightly: "Xavier Islands." ”
Tang Zheng's original plan was to take Guanmen Island, Transit Island and Xavier Islands, but the Xavier Islands were too far away, and Tang Zheng also benefited from the Light Chaser Army not to march too fast, for this Xavier Islands, Tang Zheng actually had other plans in his heart.
That island is too important to Magnolia, and if they lose it, they will no longer have a voice in the Great Eastern Sea, and they will have no place to stand.
Besides, that island, like the island of the Great Snake, is also a volcanic island archipelago, which is very dangerous, and it is not a good choice for the Light Chasers to be stationed there now.
Especially after Magnolia also has a nuclear bomb.
As soon as the news came out, Davis and several people were surprised and felt that things were tricky.
Once the Xavier Islands were taken by Tang Zheng, they could reach Magnolia by continuing to the east, and the Wool Empire could reach the Wool Empire to the south, that place was too critical to fall into Tang Zheng's hands.
Davis, who had always been relatively stable, was a little panicked: "General Tang Zheng, please give an order immediately to stop your army's advance, now is the critical stage of our negotiation to redeem the prisoners, and we are not completely unmanned in the Xavier Islands, there are still some of our residents and troops there, you go to Xavier at this time, it is directly an invasion, this is too poisonous to our negotiation atmosphere." ”
Tang Zheng snorted: "You still know that it is now a negotiation to redeem the prisoners, then talk about the redemption of the prisoners, don't talk to me about the progress of the Chasing Light Army, if the negotiation is good, I may consider your proposal." ”
Seeing Tang Zheng's attitude, Davis finally understood that his negotiation skills of advancing and retreating were useless.
Now the Light Chaser Army is a victory, how many skills he has, and it will be useless if the other party doesn't buy it, unless Magnolia can defeat the Light Chaser Army.
But he is really not sure about this kind of thing, Magnolia's development during this period of time, there has indeed been some progress in military affairs, but the matter of being wiped out by the Chase Army is still vivid, and they don't dare to take risks now, and they can't afford to gamble.
Unless a small nuclear bomb is used, but Tang Zheng also has this kind of counterattack, they still dare not bet.
After all, in their inherent thinking, their lives are the most precious, and they can't afford to fight to the death with a war maniac like Tang Zheng.
That guy really dared to throw a nuclear bomb.
In the face of Tang Zheng's assertion, they had to abandon the discussion of the ownership of the islands in the Great Eastern Ocean, and thus shifted the focus of the negotiations to the issue of the redemption of the captives.
It's just that in this way, their opportunity is lost, and the next negotiations will be difficult and difficult.
Sure enough, as soon as the ensuing negotiations began, they immediately reached an impasse.
In the face of Magnolia, Tang Zheng directly threw out a piece of information.
"This is my bottom line, if you agree to my request, you can redeem the prisoners of war, if you don't agree, then you will go back to where you came from, and there is no need for this negotiation to continue."
Davis and a few people took the information and looked at it, and they immediately became angry.
"No! This is absolutely not a no-go! This is blackmail! We, Magnolia, would rather fight to the death than accept this request! ”
The rest of the countries also nodded one after another, putting on a posture of fighting side by side with Magnolia and never compromising.
Because the requirements on that information are too harsh.
First of all, the first one is not good.
In order to ensure the credibility of the issuance of the universal currency, all countries in the world must send representatives to establish a global monetary alliance, and the headquarters of the alliance is set up in the city of chasing light, and the rest of the countries must take out gold or equivalent jewelry as required and mortgage it in the bank vault as the basis for issuing currency. 】
There is also a list of gold jewels at the back, with detailed rules on how much each country should hand over.
This is the first article, and the second article is to recognize the existing occupation territory of the Light Chasting Army, which includes the territory of the Tiger Empire, Wangjing Island, Chongsheng Island, Guanmen Island, Transit Island, Xavier Islands, Volcano City, and the countries where the Emerald Mines of the Southern Peninsula Alliance are located.
When Davis and the others saw this, they thought Tang Zheng was crazy.
