XVIII. The Battle of Xuanwu (21)
To solve the problem can only be negotiation, since both sides have the intention to negotiate, then negotiation has become a logical thing, the Yanhuang clan sent Hua Tielei, and the Tianhu Army side of the Linghu Meiya personally went into battle. The location of the negotiations was chosen to be a million kilometers in the air in front of the Xuanwu Fortress.
The Heavenly Tiger Army sent a warship as a place for negotiations, and of course there was no problem with that. This time, both sides of the negotiation don't want to make it public, for the Tianhu Army, one more person knows the truth, it is more dangerous, for the Yanhuang clan, there is no benefit in making it public, or too lazy to make it public.
Negotiators from both sides were present, but there were only more than a dozen people, and this kind of thing was naturally not suitable for too many people to participate. Both sides are looking at each other. In the eyes of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, these hateful black-haired, black-eyed and yellow-skinned guys are not tall enough or strong enough, to put it bluntly, they seem to be the size of monkeys.
In Hua Tielei's opinion, other people are fine, but that Linghu Meiya is worth his high looks, this beauty looks like she is only in her twenties, with outstanding appearance, light blue hair, delicate facial features, and she is also a stunning beauty, especially the towering breasts, which are even more turbulent, which really attracts the attention of men, coupled with a general's military uniform, it makes her more beautiful, and the temptation of this uniform is really quite fatal. Of course, Hua Tielei has not yet reached the point where this beauty is attractive.
Linghu Meiya first said: "Mr. Hua, you are really despicable in doing this, you actually raided the conference room of our army, it is inevitable that you will lose the demeanor of the nobility in doing so." "General Linghu's words are wrong, the two armies are fighting, and they do everything they can, and the ancient sages of my Yanhuang clan have four poems that are written like this: 'Hold the bow as a long, and use the arrow as a long.'" Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief first and capture the king. We are just doing what our sages taught, and there is nothing mean about it. But your country, you have killed countless people and wiped out thousands of peoples, I don't know how many evil things Lu Dao has done, you just wait for retribution. โ
A negotiator of the Heavenly Tiger Army sneered and said, "Retribution? What is retribution? Is there such a thing in this universe? If there is retribution, it will already be retribution. "Heaven and Earth Dao, how much do you ignorant people know? Retribution has not yet arrived because you still have a little luck and a little luck, and once the retribution comes, it will be too late to regret it." There is an old saying in my people that is very well said: 'It is not that the hour is not reported, but when the hour comes, everything will be reported.' If you continue like this, there will only be one end, that is, the nation will be destroyed and the country will perish, and there will be absolutely no second end. Hua Tielei said lightly.
Linghu Meiya said: "Mr. Hua, we still don't need to say such irrelevant words, let's start." "Okay, General Linghu, this is the condition put forward by my clan, and there are five main points. The first point: from the date of the signing of the treaty, based on the existing areas controlled by the two communities, neither side can take the initiative to attack the other, and if one side violates it, it will be considered aggression. The aggressor must pay a price to the other. The term for this point is fifty years. The second point is to create a distance of 200 light-years from the existing area controlled by the two communities as a buffer zone for both sides, which neither side can enter, and those who enter are considered to be aggressors. Third, you will provide us with compensation, and we will send a list of compensation, and the total value will not be higher than ten trillion Tianhu coins. Fourth, after the treaty is signed, we will return half of the hostages, and the other half after twenty years, and if you behave well, then I will consider returning the hostages early. Fifth, your commander-in-chief, Marshal Tianhu Tieshan, will remain in our army until the end of the fifty-year period. โ
Such conditions are indeed a little harsh, of course Linghu Meiya understands, the first one is no problem, it is okay based on the existing control areas of both sides, anyway, now that the Yanhuang clan has the upper hand, they will never spit out the meat that has reached their mouths, so this is acceptable. However, the time limit of fifty years is too long, and they can't explain it to the Empire. The second one has a buffer zone, which is not a problem, but this star zone is very large anyway. In terms of the financial resources of the Tianhu Empire, 10 trillion yuan is simply a small number, even if it is the 180th Front Army Group, the number of officers and soldiers has reached 112 billion, and 10 trillion Tianhu coins is less than 1 percent of the monthly salary of all officers and soldiers? Fourth, there is a big problem: how can we release half of the generals and take the other half as hostages? What if the Yanhuang people do not release them after 20 years? As for Article 5, it is even more non-negotiable, and if the commander-in-chief cannot be rescued, then what is the point of this treaty being signed?
Originally, some people thought that such conditions were too cheap for the Tianhu Army, but, on second thought, if the other party had to pay too much price, it would be possible to talk about it, so the gains outweighed the losses, anyway, the Yanhuang clan is not short of materials now, just lack of time, as long as the first article can be negotiated, so, what really makes the Yanhuang clan pay attention to the first article, the others are dispensable, of course, it is best to negotiate, the territory is larger, and there are more resources that can be exploitedใ
Linghu Meiya said: "Mr. Hua, there is no problem with the second and third conditions proposed by the nobles, and we have to discuss the other three." "Well, the condition can only be perfected through consultation, so let's discuss the first article first?" "Okay, we think the first half of the first article is acceptable, but the time limit is too long, so we can't explain it to the empire, I believe that even if we sign a treaty, it is impossible for our side to do nothing within fifty years, so, how about ten years?" The Yanhuang clan will offer prices all over the sky, and Linghu Meiya will be able to repay the money on the ground, and every woman is a natural negotiator.
Hua Tielei sneered and said: "If it's only ten years, then there's no need to say more, let's go to war, your 180th Front Army Group is now leaderless, it is the weakest time, our army may be able to leave your entire army behind, this is better, and there is no need to talk about the conditions anymore." โ
Linghu Meiya will be intimidated by Hua Tielei: "It's okay for the nobles to scare people, but it's not practical, if the nobles really have the strength to stop our army, they won't use such despicable means." Although it is said that the two armies are fighting at every extreme, this method of taking hostages and forcing the other side to negotiate is really not glorious.
Hua Tielei smiled again: "It's not up to you to say whether the means are despicable or not, General Linghu, haven't you used this kind of means in the Heavenly Tiger Empire after so many wars? Besides, our army fights the strong with the weak, and fights hard with you without using a little strategy and tactics, our heads have not been broken, will we do such a stupid thing? "The last four words are said in Chinese, that is, to bully the other party who doesn't know Chinese, hehe.
Linghu Meiya gritted her teeth and said, "Fifteen years at most, if you don't succeed in starting a war." "Since General Linghu has taken a step back, then we can't help but take a step back, at least forty-five years, otherwise, let's go to war, and see how long your logistics can support." This sentence has been said to the fatal wound of the Tianhu Army, more than half of the logistics supply line has now fallen into the hands of the coalition army, and it is not so easy to reopen the supply line, unless a front army is dispatched to escort every time the supplies are transported, otherwise, it will definitely be robbed by the coalition army, this point is not to be asked.
Linghu Meiya Yin suddenly wanted to change someone to negotiate, this kind of negotiation is really hurtful, yes, the negotiation table that is slaughtered by others, do you still want to get it? It's a good thing not to let people even swallow the skin, and then look at the other party, it's obvious that he is a veteran of negotiations, not in a hurry, he is far behind.
Linghu Meiya said: "Twenty years. "Hehe, General Linghu, twenty years is not a short time, but it is still far from our goal, so the general should add more." "How long do you want, let's get out, so as not to waste our time." "Okay, refresh, just forty years, we've taken another step back, this time should be just right. โ
Linghu Meiya stood up and said, "Thirty years, if there is one more day, I will go back and prepare for war, and I also believe that our commander-in-chief will not accept such a treaty." "Add a little more, thirty-five years. "Don't add a day, Mr. Hua, give a happy word, either thirty years, or war, choose, I'll give you three minutes to think about it, start the timer now." โ
Linghu Meiya realized that it would be useless to grind with Hua Tielei again, yes, your mouth is okay, then I don't bother to grind with you, I will die for a while, I believe you can't take advantage of it.
Hua Tielei saw that the three minutes were almost up, and said with a wry smile: "It's okay to add another year, General Linghu, I only have thirty years and I can't explain to my clansmen, I will definitely be scolded to death by the clansmen when I go back, add another year, otherwise, we will go to war, I would rather die in battle than be scolded by the clansmen." "Then let's go to war, I'm leaving. Linghu Meiya immediately turned around and left.
The first negotiation between the two sides collapsed in this way, of course, everyone said that there was a war, but everyone knew that neither side could start a war at this time, so they were waiting for the other party to bow their heads, and the competition at this time was the patience of both sides, and the side that could not hold its breath would lose, and it would take the initiative in the future negotiations.
It's just that, one thing is certain, Linghu Meiya is definitely not comparable to the Yanhuang clan, because the initiative is not in her hands, there is no initiative, it is a matter of time before she bows her head, alas, participating in such negotiations is worse than losing the battle, but what can be done?
Of course, Linghu Meiya can be ruthless, agree to Volt Zhi's conditions, and take refuge in Prince Yong, but this is not what she wants, besides, after doing this, she will have too many enemies, not the work of a wise man, so, let's bow our heads, what is there to think about?
So, on March 14, after a three-day hiatus, negotiations began for the second time.
