"Today is a big day for China and Medeno to sign an armistice agreement between the two sides," Xiao Jing, the chairman of the negotiating table, stood up and talked eloquently, "God arranged for us to have our first contact in this world in 1628, and for a long time after that, we had cooperation and win-win cooperation between the two sides, which not only provided a material foundation for the enhancement of the national strength of our two sides, but also set an example for the friendly exchanges between our two peoples." At this point, he paused, turned to the Medeno delegation sitting on the side, and continued, "But not long ago, your country suddenly and unilaterally launched a unilateral attack on our naval fleet due to some problems that we cannot understand......

There was a sudden whisper under the rostrum, and the negotiators on the Medeno side were either red or angry, what kind of large-scale losses of the Senate Navy? The Eastern Fleet of Medeno dispatched a large number of warships that day, and again took advantage of the night to encircle, and launched an attack from the early morning through the morning fog, the original goal of the battle was to disperse the Senate naval fleet, isolate the capital ship of Victory, and then capture it. However, the result of the battle was that the plan to capture the Victory was not realized, but was beaten helpless under the counterattack of the destroyers of the Chinese Navy, many capital ships were seriously damaged, and the loss of personnel was more than ten times greater than that of the Chinese Navy. Now that Xiao Jing is talking about this battle on stage, it looks very harsh in their ears at the moment, as if Xiao Jing specially proposed to slap them in the face here. But even so, these Medino representatives still say nothing. They were very unconvinced, but during the two months before their departure and during the two months they stayed in the port of Vostochny for intermittent negotiations, the hesitation of the Eastern Fleet from the initial fear of too many casualties had now changed to a sign of fear of war, and as soon as the war between China and Malaysia was discussed, the representatives of the Eastern Fleet shook their heads like rattles. Moreover, their representatives, Princess Jacqueline, and team leader Miro also went to attend the launching ceremony of the shipyard's two transport ships and two capital ships. The two ships in the dock had just left the dock, and immediately the workers behind had already begun to lay the keel on the slipway, and it was also an iron keel, and the construction of the hull had been completed below the waterline in just a few days. Not to mention whether Medeno can wipe out all the warships of the Chinese Navy at one time, at the current speed of their construction, Medeno still has to order a large number of warships from Yaning to fight with the Chinese, just during this period of time, the main force of the Eastern Fleet and hundreds of warship transport ships have been assembled near Wenshan Port, and every day it will consume amazing financial, material and transportation capacity. The Maidno merchant fleet, which is responsible for the transportation of this area, has long been complaining about the idea of the Eastern Fleet having water in its head and going to fight the Chinese Navy. Under such circumstances, the Eastern Fleet has repeatedly reminded the negotiating team that the two sides must restore a state of peace as soon as possible and strive to withdraw the Eastern Fleet from the vicinity of China's waters at an early date and get out of this quagmire as soon as possible.

And it wasn't just the Medenor who whispered, but also the elders of the Eastern Port who participated in the negotiations. In their opinion, especially Xiao Jing's first sentence, what God arranges us is simply the spirit of capitulationism. And what he said later was full of actions to wash the ground for the Medenor fleet to launch a sneak attack on the initiative, and it seemed to have a taste of regret that the Medeno people did not succeed.

In the past two months, the two sides have discussed armistice negotiations and compensation for many days and nights, and Ston has acted as a liaison between the two sides to provide a reference for the negotiations on the Medeno people, so that the two sides will not be too different and stop the negotiations. However, at this moment, Ston was already gloomy, sitting in the seat on the side of the Senate, just looking up at Xiao Jing who was speaking on the stage, and Miro and the princess sitting next to him did not look very good.

Xiao Jing didn't know what was going on in Ston at this moment, but the example and Gu Qingqian sitting next to him knew very well what was going on. Some time ago, Ston was attacked by the Medenor crowd at an internal meeting of the Medeno negotiating group, and most of the members of the negotiating team felt that Ston not only betrayed Medenor, but also stole the trust of the princess, and took advantage of this opportunity to infiltrate the Medeno negotiating group to spy on information and provide it to the Senate. Ston was hit hard at the meeting, knowing that he was captured in the battle and forced to surrender, and after the surrender, he also pretended to cooperate with the Senate, secretly sent information for the Medeno intelligence agency, and did not hesitate to use the few remaining teleportation scrolls to secretly send important information about the location and number of the Senate's fleet at some critical times. But at this moment, he was scorned by his fellow Medeno, who had always been treated wholeheartedly, as a "spy for the Chinese". Disheartened, Ston withdrew from the Medeno negotiating team's work on the outline of the negotiations. Although Miro persuaded him to come back several times, and Princess Jacqueline even went to the Navy dormitory to invite him herself, he really couldn't resist this enthusiasm and had to return to the negotiation team, but this time the enthusiasm was far less than the beginning. In the discussions, he basically did not make any constructive proposals, let alone explain some specific outline items to the Medeno people, and completely regarded himself as an outsider.

Ston didn't know that all of his actions were under the surveillance of the counterintelligence department of the Senate, and he knew that the hidden camera was installed directly in the princess's suite, and even installed it in front of the princess, and his attitude changes before and after the negotiation team were all seen by the counterintelligence department. In this case, the original red "controlled use" and "first-class hazard" seals on Riston's personal file of the counterintelligence division have now been destroyed, and the two seals have been replaced by yellow "basically credible" and "pay more attention" seals.

Miro's face was not good at the moment, his eyes looked at Ston who was sitting in the seat of the Senate below, this close friend of his father, a friend of the family, seemed to have died to the Medeno people at the moment, he didn't blame Ston, because on the day Ston died, he was also on the scene, and he saw all the words and deeds of the members of the Medeno negotiation team at the scene, even if he changed himself, he was afraid that he would be dead. He was heartbroken, knowing that Ston had been secretly delivering intelligence to the Maidno intelligence agency since he was captured by the Chinese, and Ston was almost caught several times under the Chinese's purported all-powerful counter-espionage methods, and it was only by his own carefulness that he lurked. It is not easy to bury such a deeply hidden spy among the Chinese, and it can bring endless benefits to Medeno in the long run, but it was ruined by this group of pig-like teammates he brought. Although it is possible to regain it through some other means in the future, it is certainly hopeless in the short term.

And Jacqueline's face was almost as gloomy at the moment, you must know that the terms of the signing of this negotiation agreement are very harsh for the Medeno people, and it is even a blatant provocation on the Medeno people's sea dominance, but she has to sign it, and the Medeno fleet outside Wenshan Port has reached a very tricky level at the moment.

A few days ago, the Eastern Fleet of Medenor sent a transport ship with a letter from the Eastern Fleet, reporting to her that the Eastern Fleet now needs to increase its budget of about 5,000 to 8,000 silver coins per day to rush a batch of food supplies from Yaning, and to order a new batch of Yanin rifles that have just been built. Prior to this, the daily consumption of the Eastern Fleet and the requisition rent of the merchant fleet added up to at least 20,000 silver coins, plus this new budget, then it was directly close to the number of 30,000 coins, although the money of the Eastern Fleet was there, but it was obtained from the trade all over the world, and at the moment it was several months outside the port of Wenshan, and at the same time, it was necessary to requisition the nearby Maidno merchant fleet, and it was impossible to make money while spending money, and the entire Eastern Fleet was complaining at the moment, Rumors have even begun to spread that someone is planning to seize the ship and go directly to China. In such a situation, she can only choose to complete the negotiation as soon as possible, even if many of the terms are harsh, she can only pinch her nose and accept it.

Meideno is not a race that can suffer losses, but the current situation is like this, the Chinese staying in Dongfang Port are not only capable, but also sharp-armed, and have all kinds of strange technologies, which can complete many tasks that ordinary people cannot imagine, so in such a situation, unless the tactics of using people and ships regardless of casualties, they cannot even gain an advantage in front of the Chinese. Although there are many people, Medeno cannot withstand such consumption. Moreover, they are also very fond of the technology and production mode that the Chinese now have, if they really use the most undesirable method to seize science and technology from the Chinese through means of war, it is conceivable that there will be countless technologies that would rather be destroyed in the war than left to the Medeno people, in the end they spent a heavy price, and provoked an enemy who would definitely fight with them to the end, and at the same time did not get the slightest benefit, so even now outside the port of Wenshan, the Medeno and the Annamite have gathered so many troops and fleets, But they never dared to go north and touch the bottom line of the Chinese.

Of course, Medeno's agreement to sign an armistice agreement this time is not completely unintentional, in fact, the Medeno people did not admit defeat at all, for them, the current disadvantage for the Chinese is only temporary. Their current technology behind the Chinese will not be permanent, because the last time they obtained from the Chinese 1628 rifles and those too many semi-automatic rifles and light machine guns that exceed the times, the Yaning people have carefully disassembled and analyzed, although it is now stuck in the barrel material and metal fixed ammunition, but it does not mean that there is no way to bypass these problems. At this moment, the rifled rifles produced by the Yaning people have begun to equip the newly formed infantry battalion of Annan in large quantities, and they are also training according to the way of the Chinese, although they have not been able to find the main force of the North Annan army for a decisive battle, but they have full confidence in these new rifles. Not to mention that Medeno has commissioned Yaning Shipyard to produce six latest "King" class capital ships for them to compete with the Chinese for sea supremacy, almost all Medeno people firmly believe that the Chinese's lead is only temporary, as long as time passes, the Medeno people will be able to rely on their own and Yaning people's cooperation to trample the Chinese under their feet again. Under this guiding ideology, Jacqueline received a summons from the capital forwarded from Ocean City, asking her to sign a peace agreement with the Chinese first, and the two sides should restore bilateral relations of mutual trade and reciprocity, and wait until they had sufficient strength before starting to act, and even mentioned in Conrad's letter that in order to be able to stabilize the hearts of the Chinese, it was suggested that she stay in the Oriental Port for a while longer, and be with the Chinese to collect as much intelligence and technology as possible for the Medenor people. Of course, she thinks the former is very good, you must know that Xiao Jing, who is now standing on the stage and speaking, is as cute as a flashing halo in her eyes, and she originally wanted to find a reason to stay in Dongfang Harbor for a little longer. But for the latter one, she made a difficulty, originally as the princess of Medno, for the interests of the Maidno people should be put first, but she is now Xiao Jing's nominal "girlfriend", she feels that it should not be long before she can live a happy life with Xiao Jing forever, and at this moment she was shocked to realize that she had thrown the interests of Maidno out of the clouds.

"First, the two sides will cease military confrontation, no longer dispute the existing areas already controlled by the two sides, and confirm the legitimate rights and interests of the two governments;" Xiao Jing took the document and read it aloud, "Second, the Medeno side must apologize to the Chinese side, pay tribute to the soldiers killed and wounded in the battle, and at the same time compensate the Chinese Navy for the losses and compensate the destroyer for the maintenance cost of 1,500 yuan; Thirdly, after quarantine, the Medeno people can land at the Dongfang Port and move freely in the port area, but they must abide by Chinese laws, and once the Medeno people violate Chinese laws, they must be punished in accordance with Chinese laws, without exception; Fourth, China has the right to act freely on the international high seas, and at the same time, the Medeno fleet is not allowed to enter China's territorial waters at will, and if it does not listen to dissuasion, we have the right to sink it after warning......"
