Chapter 1192: Difficult Negotiations (Part II)
- "Major, I think the attitude of these Milky Way people is very strange." In a secret room, Dilines and Cadmore were quietly debating.
Cadmore didn't feel that the peace talks had now reached a dead end, and neither side was willing to give in, but the other side had no intention of suspending the peace talks, and had been talking to them about "peace and friendship," so that they could not be sure whether the other side was weak in strength and had to "compromise and seek perfection" or whether it was really a civilization that loved "peace and friendship."
"Major, I don't think it's an option to drag on like this, something has to change." Dirines said again.
Cadmore doesn't think so, these days of endless ripping, bargaining, useless nonsense, is torture for anyone.
"That's up to you." Cadmore asked.
"I think it's time for us to make a little concession." Dirines said.
Cadmore listened, and said disapprerovingly, "Why didn't they make concessions?" ”
Dirines said: "Major, we must admit the reality now, you didn't see that the female captain of the Galaxy is very insistent on this point, they will never take the initiative to withdraw from Jialan Star, just look at their construction here." ”
Cadmore said: "If we give in, we will have to let them continue to occupy this Jialan star, doesn't this mean that the task assigned by the general cannot be completed." ”
Dirines said: "This is also a matter of no choice, peace talks are not necessarily successful, I believe the general will understand." ”
Cadmore said, "What do you mean......"
Dirines said, "Since they still recognize Jialanxing as the territory of the Empire, then accept their terms of the lease, but they must pay some price." ”
Cadmore listened. After being silent for a while, he said unwillingly: "Does it have to be like this?" I don't think these Milky Way people are a good thing, not what they say they are. For the sake of peace and friendship, I think their presence here will sooner or later cause a great disaster for the Empire. ”
Dilignes said, "The major is right, but the situation has to be like this at the moment. Major, do you think that if this peace talks fail, these Milky Way people will easily let us go? ”
Cadmore listened, his expression changed, and he fell into a deep thought. Don't look at these Milky Way people now, when they are negotiating, they open their mouths to "peaceful coexistence". "Friendly cooperation" or something, but if it really annoys the other party, I don't know how to clean up the people of the mission.
He Cadmore is a young and promising young Zhuang officer, and his future is immeasurable, and he really doesn't deserve to fight with these galactic people to fall here.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be moved, Dilines continued to persuade on the side: "Besides, even if this peace agreement is reached, it will not be binding. The top will not blame too much, and then make an excuse casually, just say that the contract is only to paralyze and confuse the other party, and then encourage the general to send a large army to clean them up. It's not impossible, anyway, it's war or peace, and the initiative is all in our hands. As long as we can get out safely and get out of here......"
Cadmore listened. It made sense and nodded. said: "That's a good thing, I think that's what I can do." ”
After a pause, he said: "But we can't be too eager, lest they see any flaws, and see that we have to sign this contract in order to get out, we have to let them see the full sincerity of our signing contract, so that we can also confuse and paralyze the other party as much as possible." ”
Dilignes couldn't help but give a thumbs up, slapped his ass and said, "The major is really thoughtful, why didn't his subordinates think of this." ”
Cadmore smirked.
In Jiang Ping's commander-in-chief's office, Angelia came to report to the other side on the latest progress of the peace talks.
"Cadmore they've backed down." When Angelia came in, she got straight to the point.
"Oh, they're finally willing to give in, so that's a good thing." After Jiang Ping heard this, he said lightly.
"They finally agreed to our lease request, but they still attached a lot of conditions, such as the lease period is only three years, and we have to pay them a high lease fee, including all kinds of rare and precious metals and nuclear energy materials, as well as the stranded personnel we put back at the base, and even more outrageous, they also asked us to give them a few of our spaceships, and also asked to garrison troops at the Jialan Star Base, such an rude request I naturally refused on the spot."
Angelia began to gush.
Jiang Ping was speechless for a while when he heard this, these Grimm people are really whimsical, and they still want their spaceship, this spaceship is absolutely impossible to give to the other party, it is not that they are stingy, but that their spaceship is too "backward", as soon as they appear in front of the other party, they are afraid that they will be exposed. In addition, the matter of garrisoning troops in Jialanxing is not to mention, it is simply a fool's dream, how can they allow the army of the Grimm to be stationed here.
After a deep sigh, he said: "The lease period must be at least five years, three years can be worth anything, I'm afraid they don't believe it, and the other lease fees can be appropriately given, as for other rude requests, they will all be refused." ”
Angelia said: "If this is the case, I am afraid that they will not give up and will come to bargain again." ”
Jiang Ping said: "That can't promise them." ”
Angelia thought for a moment, and then said: "I found out that they want us to release the stranded personnel of the base, which is very resolute, it seems that it is going to be true, if we don't agree to their request, this negotiation is likely to reach an impasse, so that it breaks down." ”
Jiang Ping listened to it and said disapprerovitically: "Are they really very resolute, I don't think so, I don't think this Major Cadmore is a person who cares about their people so much." ”
Angelia said: "But that's exactly the case, and they're really resolute on that. Why don't we give in on this point? ”
Jiang Ping pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "At this point, we have no room for concessions, don't forget, those engineers and technicians of the Green people are still learning and communicating with our scientific researchers, and I will never hand over these people." ”
Angelia said: "Then return the other Grimm people who are not engineers and technicians." ”
Jiang Ping still shook his head and said, "In this way, they must know that we have detained their engineers and technicians, and they may perceive something because of this, and suspect our motives for detaining these engineers and technicians, in order to avoid this from happening, they can only let those people go." ”
Angelia felt that what the other party said was also very reasonable, and after a while, her heart suddenly moved, and said: "You say, they are so determined to return these stranded Grimnes, could it be that they have already sensed something, knowing that we have detained those Grimm engineers and technicians, as well as the plan to study and exchange?" ”
Jiang Ping's heart moved, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this might not be impossible.
"Will these people from the Grimm mission get in touch with the Grimmites outside, and what news do they know?" Angelia said to herself again.
"How is our hotel guard work lately, is there any loophole?" Jiang Ping asked.
Angelia said: "Judging from the news from the guards at the hotel, everything is normal there these days, and nothing abnormal has happened. ”
Jiang Ping said: "Even so, we can't be sure that there is no leakage of news, I think they may have some kind of special communication channel, contact with the outside world, so as to obtain some information, their scientific and technological civilization is much higher than ours, there is any means to avoid our communication monitoring system, this is not unusual." ”
Angelia also thought it was very likely when she heard this, and said, "Maybe when Helms retreated, he left a nail here to monitor our activities. ”
"That's how it should be!" Jiang Ping nodded and said, after understanding this, he hated that Helms even more.
"So what are we going to do?" Angelia asked.
Jiang Ping said to himself: "Fortunately, after we arrived, we put these Grimm people in custody to avoid a bigger leak of news, but I think keeping these Grimm people is also a scourge......
Angelia was startled when she heard this, and said, "Jiang Ping, you, are you going to ...... You can't do that, these Grimm people are innocent......"
Jiang Ping glanced at the other party and said, "You misunderstood, I didn't plan to do anything to these Grimm people, it's just that they can't stay in Jialan Star anymore, so it's better to send them to the spaceship above, and stay there for a long time." ”
Angelia was relieved when she heard this, and said, "I thought you were really going to kill, since you were sending them away, then you can do it like this." ”
Jiang Ping said: "Angelia, you are still too merciful, in fact, when we get here, if the Grimm people refuse to let us go, I am afraid that there will be a bloody war at that time." ”
Angelia said: "If it really comes to that time, if you have to use war to solve the problem, then there is no way to do it." ”
Jiang Ping didn't continue the topic, and said: "It's just that I'm still worried that maybe among those Green engineers and technicians, there is the nail left by Helms, which is the most difficult thing to do." ”
Angelia thought that this was also very possible, and couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you decide to do?" ”
Jiang Ping didn't have any good way for a while, and it was impossible to send away these Greenman engineers and technicians who were "learning and exchanging".
"We can only secretly increase the surveillance of these people." He said lightly. (To be continued......)
