XIX. The Signing of the Covenant (II)

Genkai went back to the East China Sea to gather its descendants. Han Wenzheng thought for a moment and said, "Tieyun." "Father, the child is here. "Tell me, what should happen between us and the East China Sea?" "Father, the child thinks, with Xuan Lao here, the East China Sea should not be a problem, and the specific terms of the covenant we can sign with them still need to be carefully negotiated, but the child thinks that it should not be a problem to use the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence as a standard, and add a number of clauses on this basis. Zhao Tieyun put forward his own opinion, and his opinion should be said to be correct.

Han Wenzheng said: "Tiexin, what is your opinion?" "Father, the child thinks that a treaty should be signed between us and the East China Sea, but there is no need for an alliance, and they have no place to threaten us, and we have no enemies to deal with at present, so the alliance is not very useful, on the contrary, the child thinks that it is better to sign a trade treaty." ”

Han Wenzheng looked at Sun Tiejian and said, "Tiejian, what do you mean?" Father, the child agrees with the eldest brother's opinion, although the covenant is useless to us, but it can be the heart of the Donghai clan, and furthermore, the East China Sea is a barrier for us, and I think that although the human beings in the Western Continent are not a threat to us for the time being, there is a possibility of war between the East China Sea and the West Sea, and the East China Sea should need our help, and then take a step back, if we only sign a trade treaty with the East China Sea, the East China Sea may be dissatisfied with us, so it will not affect the trade between our two sides, so although the alliance is not of great use, but for the sake of trade security and trade volume and other considerations, I think it's better to sign a covenant. ”

Han Wenzheng was very pleased and said, "You have all grown up a lot, Tie Fei, Tie Hu, and what do you all mean?" "Father, or the opinion of the eldest brother is more in our interests. "Everyone thinks it's better to make a covenant, and there is no need to pay anything anyway.

Han Wenzheng said: "Okay, let's sign an alliance with Donghai, and the two sides will form an alliance, but, Tie Yun, how do you think this alliance should stipulate the responsibilities of both parties? This is the first alliance between my Yanhuang clan and the external forces on the new earth, we can't just say and not do it, then we will lose all our credit." "Since it is an alliance, then there is a common responsibility, this can't be sloppy, you can't just write it out and don't do it, in that case, the Yanhuang clan will have no credibility at all.

Zhao Tieyun said: "I don't know if Lu Dao's father's opinion is whether we have signed an all-round covenant with Donghai or an economic and other individual covenant?" "Hehe, I'm asking you now, not you asking me. Han Wenzheng scolded with a smile, "I'm testing you now, you can all express your opinions." ”

Zhao Tieyun said: " Father, the child believes that we should sign an alliance with the East China Sea in individual aspects, such as the economy, etc., and we cannot sign a comprehensive alliance conditions, such as military alliances, etc., we do not yet have the strength to sign a military alliance treaty with the East China Sea, so I think we can sign a number of treaties with the East China Sea, I have a preliminary estimate, there should be a non-aggression treaty, this one is for the heart of the East China Sea, and the second is a limited military treaty, such as we can use the way of trade to carry out military cooperation with the East China Sea, such as the supply of weapons by our side, of course, if the cooperation is more in-depth in the futureThis covenant can be further cooperated. The third is the legal treaty between the two sides, which stipulates the legal handling opinions of the two parties. We are going to build a new city at the mouth of the Nianxiang River, and then both sides will trade here, and there will inevitably be various contradictions, and this one must be signed. The fourth is a treaty on trade between the two sides, such as tariffs, trade restrictions, currency exchange, and other issues, which must have more detailed provisions. The fifth is a New Earth Pact that we have developed, which should include the content of the global system of ethics and law, and I hope that this pact will be the norm for future treaties between us and other races, and I will ask my father for advice. ”

Han Wenzheng smiled and said: "Yes, Tieyun, your growth speed really surprises me, very good, then for you, I will leave you fully responsible for the negotiation and signing of the alliance with the Emperor of the East China Sea, do you dare to agree?" "Isn't the father afraid of crushing the child to death?" Zhao Tieyun said with a wry smile, "The child asked himself if he didn't have this ability, so he didn't dare to agree." "Just kidding, this kind of big thing is not child's play, it is a matter with legal effect, diplomacy is no trivial matter, he Zhao Tieyun has no experience in diplomacy, and he really can't afford it."

Qiushui said on the side: "Husband, I'm afraid that you have to do this matter yourself, the children are still young and can't afford such a responsibility." "Well, then the Father will not force you, so let me first draw up the specific content of the covenant, and let me revise it, which is one of the contents of the Father's assessment of you, and you must work hard to complete it, and I will only give you five days. ”

Everyone's faces turned into bitter melons, this is really too embarrassing, but what else can be done? Zhao Tieyun said: "Famous brothers and sisters, we have to work hard, let's not sleep for these five days, otherwise, my father's board is not just on me, second brother, you lead some of your younger brothers to be responsible for the non-aggression pact." Third brother, you also lead some people to be in charge of the military alliance treaty, fourth brother, you are in charge of the trade treaty. Fifth brother, you are in charge of legal treaties. As for the convention, I am in charge, and everyone works together, and this time it was miserable. Zhao Tieyun made a very miserable expression, amusing everyone.

Everyone also knew that this time was a big assessment, so many treaties were not something that could be completed by one person, and it took concerted efforts to complete, so the arrangement for Zhao Tieyun was recognized, and he left immediately, returned to Yanhuang City, and prepared to gather everyone to complete this task together.

After returning to Yanhuang City, the whole Yanhuang clan moved, and Han Wenzheng was not idle, he was a consultant, everyone was thinking about how to write the treaty, and how to write some words should give reference opinions, so he also had a lot of work, in a word, this is definitely not an easy task.

After five days of general mobilization, the Yanhuang clan finally completed six documents, Han Wenzheng read it, and thought it was still good, after his revision, these six documents became the basis for the upcoming negotiations, and he also felt that these covenants should be negotiated as soon as possible, after all, after negotiating the covenant, they can start building a new city, and it takes a lot of time to build a new city, besides, he doesn't want to dream a lot at night.

Meeting with the Emperor of the East Sea at the mouth of the Nianxiang River again, Han Wenzheng handed over the six documents to the Emperor of the East Sea, asking the Emperor of the East Sea to go back and read them slowly, and then negotiate after three days. The Emperor of the East Sea was dumbfounded all of a sudden, he knew that there were so many documents in the negotiations between the human race, he had dealt with the Emperor of the West Sea many times before, and what the two sides wanted to say was a matter of one sentence, this time it was really a long insight.

After the Emperor of the East China Sea returned to the East China Sea Palace, he called all his henchmen, and as a result, all of them had no ideas, and their shallow diplomatic knowledge made them have a lot of things they didn't understand, especially about economic issues, the word is understanding, but once they are connected, they don't know what Lu Dao is all about.

The third elder sighed and said: "The Yanhuang clan is really worthy of being a legendary race, this ability alone makes me have to obey, it can be said that the human beings on the Western Continent have also signed similar treaties, but they are far from the same when compared." Your Majesty, this is an opportunity for us to learn, and if we don't understand it, we must understand it. "I think the only way to ask them is to come with me." "It's good, Your Majesty. And they all agreed.

On the issue of the non-aggression treaty, the Tokai clan honestly and unceremoniously raised the points they did not understand, such as the demarcation of borders, the contents to be observed by each other, and the five principles of peaceful coexistence. This made Han Wenzheng feel that he was not negotiating, but teaching students, and he realized that his negotiation this time was not a day or two to be completed, at least a month, this time it was really miserable.

Regarding the limited military alliance treaty, the East Sea Emperor asked, "Why don't we sign a complete alliance treaty?" This one is mainly out of the actual consideration of my Yanhuang clan, after all, we are a terrestrial race, and you are a sea race, we have to face the enemy on land, and you are facing the enemy in the sea, so, even if my Yanhuang clan has enough troops, I can't go to the sea to help you fight, so, on this issue, we can only help you by trading and selling weapons to you, and you can also help us by selling various strategic materials, which I think you can all understand. "The people said that they could understand, after all, you can't let people go to the sea to fight, it's good to be able to sell weapons, not to mention that if it's wartime, you can sell weapons at a 50% discount, and if you can't afford to pay, you can pay on credit first, even if that's the case, what do you want? So, they are very satisfied.

For the trade treaty took the most time, it took half a month, for customs, tariffs, trade restrictions, the determination of the value of the currency and the exchange of currencies on both sides and other issues they did not understand, Han Wenzheng can only be explained one by one, translation, but also attached teaching, this is to let the Donghai people understand, this is to let the Donghai people know that there is so much knowledge in the original trade, they are really dirt buns.

After a full fifty days of negotiations, the two sides negotiated all the terms and formally signed the covenant, Han Wenzheng and Zhao Tieyun and several other people who participated in the negotiations were almost exhausted to death, this is really not something people do, on the contrary, the Donghai clan is very happy, they have learned a lot from this negotiation, and it is still free, so they go back happily. This makes Han Wenzheng feel that he has lost a lot, this knowledge is very valuable, not to mention the free teaching now, not to mention the cost of not recouping, and to tire himself like a dog, it is really an absolute loss, and he can't get it back, it's really miserable.
