Four Hundred and Sixty Nine Compromises

It doesn't matter whether Ma Wenyi is bold or dare not make mistakes, anyway, he finally got into the car, and was sent to Serris by four clerks from the special mission department of the Royal Guards with a high level of magic. Diplomatic reception hotel.

When Marvin was arranged in the magnificent room, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The decoration here is very chic, which gives him a feeling that Alan Hill attaches great importance to him.

However, in fact, he was arranged to live here because none of the diplomats in Alan Hill wanted to negotiate with this special envoy from the puppet empire...

Strider believes that the current puppet empire can be said to be on the verge of death. In such a situation where the outcome is already divided, peace talks with the puppet empire are simply a waste of time.

The foreign minister, who has always stood in the position of Alan Hill and is known as an iron-blooded diplomat, most of the time suggests using military means to solve political problems.

In his view, diplomacy is a continuation of politics, and war is a means of resolving political differences—since Alan Hill’s means can resolve any differences, then diplomacy does not require much skill, just let the war continue up.

The minister of foreign affairs and the foreign minister of the empire all have this idea. It is conceivable how other diplomats of the empire think about the puppet empire in their minds.

The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, who is eleven years older than Strider, is obese. He believes that the puppet empire, or some of the puppet empires that want to surrender, cannot negotiate with the Alan Hill Empire on an equal footing.

He believed that the opponent's level was already lower than that of the empire, so the opponent's diplomatic envoy, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Alan Hill Empire, could not come forward to meet him.

If the relationship between the two countries is very good and the cooperation has been maintained all the time, to show the emperor's favor to the friendly country, the foreign minister can barely meet the foreign diplomats of the next level, but it is not in line to meet the secondary diplomats of the hostile country. Relevant diplomatic etiquette regulations of the empire.

At his insistence, various senior diplomats of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs refused to receive Marvin from the puppet empire.

In the end, after detours, everyone went through many diplomatic laws and relevant regulations, and finally found a satisfactory reception method: choose a second-level diplomat, lead a temporary team, and receive this special envoy from a hostile country.

At this moment, Marvin, who lives in the diplomatic hotel, still doesn't know that Alan Hill doesn't attach importance to this diplomatic negotiation at all. He even rejoiced for a while about his living conditions, and tasted a not-so-rich meal, but it was better than a free lunch he hadn't eaten before.

Early the next morning, when Ma Wen was taken to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building,

Only after seeing this huge 70-storey building did he realize... what he was facing was an unprecedentedly powerful country.

"Mr. Marvin... I have no interest in the conditions you put forward." The second-level diplomat who was elected as the negotiator put down the negotiation conditions brought by Marvin, shook his head and said regretfully : "Such conditions, even I can't pass this test."

Marvin also knows that now people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and the new puppet empire is simply unable to fight any more. If it's over, then the new puppet empire will soon be destroyed.

After all, the newly formed puppet empire did not have much military strength. In terms of combat effectiveness, it was not a little worse than the part of the puppet empire controlled by Travesh.

With just such a small number of hole cards, naturally no particularly good conditions can be offered. The negotiating chips given by the new puppet empire are actually very sincere, but in front of the Alan Hill Empire, which is ready to fully occupy the puppet empire and never suffer from future troubles, these sincere bargaining chips are basically not worth mentioning.

For example, the new puppet empire thinks that they can recognize Alan Hill's ownership of the area under the jurisdiction of the original puppet empire except the actual control area of ​​the new puppet empire.

This is tantamount to acknowledging Alan Hill's legal ownership of the northeast, southeast, and even parts of the original puppet empire. To put it bluntly, it is almost ceded most of the land of the puppet empire to Alan Hill.

But on the frontal battlefield, the victory is already assured, and the war situation is going well. Alan Hill doesn't think this is the sincerity of the new puppet empire--if I can beat it, what else do you need to admit?

Therefore, the differences between the two sides are actually very huge. The new puppet empire hopes to make peace with Alan Hill through war reparations, recognition of the occupied area, and limitation of the number of troops.

However, Alan Hill only gave the new puppet empire one choice: to accept the rule of Alan Hill, and to retain some customs and habits of the magicians of the puppet empire in the designated part of the "Dominion" area, which is already the maximum concessions...

After seeing these conditions, Ma Wen's expression changed. He felt that this was Alan Hill's making things difficult, but the young diplomat in front of him, who was less than forty years old, refused to give an inch.

Looking at the expression on the other party's face, "If you want to kill me, I don't want to live anymore. Anyway, you and your country will be buried with me, so you should do it quickly!", Ma Wen really wanted to talk a little bit. The mood is gone.

It is a pity that he did not dare to walk away, because such a precious negotiation opportunity does not come every day.

The diplomatic team of Alan Hill made it clear that if the talks cannot be concluded today, the meeting will be adjourned tomorrow, and we will continue to talk about this topic a week later.

Anyway, Alan Hill has plenty of time. Every week, hundreds of thousands of missiles of various types are produced. In a few months, maybe the floating fleet can go south.

But the new puppet empire doesn’t have that much time—not only the threat of Alan Hill, but Travish might turn around and deal with the newly established new puppet empire, so what Marvin and the others lack It is precious time.

Whether you have mental calculations or not, and power is powerless, this diplomatic contest has been doomed from the very beginning.

Therefore, even though what Marvin saw from the other party's face was "We don't want to talk anymore, we will wait for the war to directly result", he still patiently begged Alan Hill to give the newly established puppet Empire a chance.

"The opportunity is here for you! Join Alan Hill, as long as you don't do anything wrong and don't help the devil... you can guarantee its safety!" The diplomat held his chin up, like a rooster that has won a fight , said to Marvin with a proud face.

Marvin continued to shake his head, begging bitterly: "Could it be, can't you leave us a piece of land? The puppet empire has stood in this world for thousands of years! It can't die in the hands of us people!" ..."

"A traitorous human being who surrendered to an empire of demons is of course not allowed to exist in this world." As a mortal, this second-level diplomat had a feeling of gloating and embarrassing the magic empire.

Marvin, who was the first to raise the banner against the great magister Travish, was filled with remorse after hearing these words—they didn't stand up to persuade Travish at the beginning, and they didn't object to compromise with the origin of magic. Decided, now naturally have to accept such an ending.

So he lowered his head and kept silent, as if he was recalling his life, and seemed to be deciding something.

...

Chris is dealing with a mountain of documents in his office. As the emperor of a huge empire that has never appeared in history, he has to approve thousands of decisions every day.

For him, the price of going out to fight in person is not only risking the front line to fight - what's more, he has to deal with all kinds of work that have accumulated rapidly during his time away from the office.

For example, what he is reviewing is the plan for the empire to establish a space force. This plan was submitted by Des, because as the second richest super-rich man in the empire, he spent the most money in the universe, second only to Chris.

Below this document was sent by the Imperial Air Force Headquarters. The commander-in-chief of the Air Force, Butoria, proposed that the Air Force take charge of the command of the floating fleet that will be formed soon.

Chris is also hesitating at this moment, whether to establish a new branch, or to hand over all these flying behemoths to the Air Force for command.

In fact, this is not a simple decision. The infrastructure including the airport, as well as the logistical supplies of these floating fleets, the unified recruitment and training of recruits, and the production and configuration of weapons... all of these will produce new changes due to the issue of military affiliation. .

For example, if these floating warships are handed over to the Air Force, what should the Navy do? Which operations are under the command of the navy, and which combat tasks are carried out by floating warships?

So all of these must be weighed carefully, and choices and decisions cannot be made hastily.

In addition, I heard that the third giant space station has been launched, and the docking is also very successful. More and more experiments in outer space, as well as the replacement of astronauts, all these need to be known by Chris.

There is also the seed of the tree of life, the treasure of the elves, that was sent to Alan Hill, and Chris has not had time to deal with it...

There are really too many things. Chris has been busy since he came back, and he hasn't finished the work accumulated by his personal expedition.

While he was worrying about these things, Strid knocked on the door. He walked into His Majesty's office with a document, the joy of victory written all over his face.

Without waiting for Chris to ask questions, he presented the document to Chris with both hands: "The man named Marvin finally signed it... Now, the jurisdiction of the puppet empire is the legal territory of the empire!"
